Chapter 595: Vows
[Box: Grand Line: near the Shabondy Archipelago]
Crew: What?! We're still not heading for the New World?!!
Law: We wait for the right moment... that's all I'm saying. // No need to get hasty. It's not as though One Piece... / ...is going anywhere.
Crew: Even so, with Blackbeard and his crew stirring things up......
Law: If pirates are taking each other out, then so much the better for us. No need to get involved in the small stuff. // Now stop blathering... / ...and just do as I say. // Where there's a position I need... I'll take it!!!
Crew: Captain~~~!♡

[Box: New World: a certain Winter Island]
GuardDude: This island is a particular favourite... // ...of the Yonkou Kaidou-sama... / ...and I have been given the task of guarding it.
Drake: .........And? // What are you asking me to do...?
GuardDude: Oh, I'm not telling you to do anything in particular. / This is just a warning. You don't want to get on the wrong side of Kaidou-sama, rookie.
Drake: ...In other words, if I were to, say, take you out, then Kaidou would not let me get away with it.
GuardDude: That's the deal... If you understand, then I suggest -
Drake: That makes things nice and simple.
GuardDude: ?!!

Blackbeard: Ahh, quit your complaining, Wolf!!!
Wolf: !
Blackbeard: Our log raft is on the verge of breaking because of you!!! It's your fault we're doing this deal!!!
Shiliew: Frankly, it is outrageous that you set sail into the New World on a log raft in the first place.
Blackbeard: If I'd known this was gonna happen, I ought to have stolen us a battleship back at Marineford!!

5
Burgess: You get attached to these things, y'know?!
Shiliew: I'm just saying it's careless. Like everything else you people do.

Bonney: ..................!!! ......*pant* ......*pant*

Bonney: ...............!!!
Blackbeard: You're too weak for me to bother taking on as a crewmate... / But how about becoming my woman? If you did that, I wouldn't mind taking you along!
Bonney: ..................
Blackbeard: Don't you feel like seeing what lies up ahead...?!! Hmm~??

7
Bonney: ......Don't screw with me!!! // You bearded pig!!!
Blackbeard: Guahh!!!
Crew: Gya~~~~~hahahahahah!!!
Blackbeard: Whe~~~~w... Yeah, you're no good. Too vulgar. / A girl's gotta have class, don't you know that?! I've got enough vulgar louts in my crew already!!!
Crew: Ahahahahahahah~~~!!!
Bonney: ..................
Blackbeard: I'll just hand you over as planned in exchange for a battleship!!
Augur: Captain!! The Marines have come into view!!!
Blackbeard: They'd better have brought the battleship we asked for!!
Augur: They do have a battleship, but I doubt they intend to hand it over!!!
Blackbeard: Huh?! How can you tell?!
Augur: Akainu is on board!!!
Blackbeard: ?!!

[Box: Red Line: Holy Land of Mariejoa]
Marine: Vanished...?
Doflamingo: Yeah. That's what happened. / I don't mean just like a figure of speech, either. He literally vanished into thin air!! / Fuffuffu... It sure took me by surprise, I'll tell you that. Does the Kage Kage no Mi have that kind of power?
Marine: This is no joking matter!!!
Doflamingo: Ahh, don't worry... he was half-dead already. There was no saving him, no matter where he went. / Well... unless he managed to resurrect himself as a zombie, of course... Fuffuffuffu!! Hey, it serves him right.
Marine: And you call this doing your job, do you......?!!!
Doflamingo: Hmmm~?!
Marine: ?!!
Doflamingo: Don't you start getting all cocky, now... // Since when are you my superior, eh? / I don't care how much of a big shot you are in the Government - I'm a pirate, and we don't give a crap about that shit...!!
Marine: ...............!!!
Doflamingo: If I get bored with our little arrangement with you guys, I'm always ready... / ...to quit the Shichibukai for good. And don't you forget it!!

Tribesmen: That's really pushing it, Tanukichi... / You're just embarrassed about coming back so soon... // ...so you disguised yourself like that, right?
Chopper: N... Not at all!!!
Tribesmen: There's no need to be all stubborn about it, y'know. / At times like these, it's a friend's duty to welcome -
Chopper: Oh, all right!! Your kindness is killing me!!
Tribesmen: Ah, Tanukichi!

11
Chopper: The truth is, I suddenly found out about something I have to do...!! / Do you mind if I stay here a little longer...?!!
Tribesmen: 'Course we don't!! You're always welcome here!!!
Chopper: There were all kinds of plants growing up there that I'd never seen, even in an encyclopaedia... I need to research them properly! // I'll have to build up plenty of energy for the journey...!! / This is going to be a lot of work.........!!!
Kid: Hm? Tanukichi?
Chopper: Ahhhh...! You had all these books?!!
Tribesman: This is the village library. Use it all you like for your research. // We have all kinds of plants on this island that make potent medicines. // We're skilled medicine-makers, but we were really in a fix until you came along, with those birds stopping us from getting to the plants we needed.
Chopper: I had been judging the people of this island on their appearances... but come to think of it, their weapons are surprisingly mechanically advanced, as well...

12
Chopper: They may look like a tribe of ignorant barbarians, but it looks like they actually have a seriously advanced culture! I could be able to learn a lot here...!!!
// (What might I be able... // ...to achieve here in this country...?!!!)

Flashback!Luffy: Everyone!!! Getting out of here is all that matters right now!!!
Chopper: I don't ever want... // ...to go through that again......!! // (It must have been even harder for you, Luffy... // Thanks to you taking me on as a crewmate, I don't care what anybody else thinks of me any more... // I'd do anything to help you... // ...even if it meant becoming a real monster...!!!) // ...............!! // ...LUFFY~~~~~~~~~~~~!!! / I PROMISE YOU!!! // I'M GOING TO GET STRONGER~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!

シャボン is a japanese word derived from portuguese "sabão", which means soap. No offense.

...You think I'm somehow not aware of that? ~_~

Just because it comes from the Portuguese for "soap" doesn't mean I have to spell it like the Portuguese do. It's a completely integrated word into the Japanese language, so there's no need to spell "shabon" as "sabão" any more than there is to spell "karaoke" as "karaorche" because the second half comes from "orchestra" ~_~

If I was going to spell the name as "Sabaody", then I'd do so not because of its etymology, but because it's appeared with that spelling in the manga itself. However, I still prefer "Shabondy", since it does a much better job of representing how the word is actually pronounced to an English speaker.

This certainly does sound like a silly, random excuse. You've just done but chose an example that fits up your ideology. While in fact, it only does but stirs your readers' minds. And that's how you try to prove yourself right. Whilst you aren't.

Karaoke is a a whole lot different word than "shabon" is. It's a cluster of two cutoff words and thus it's been adopted in other than japanese languages as a word itself. But following this example, would you let the word "pasokon" be in it's raw form and don't translate it? "Shabon" is an actual word and hence it should've been translated.

Ow, how kind you are. But you haven't done that with "uruuji" nor haven't you with "yuusutasu" to make an English speaker know how it's pronounced. So I ask: why? You're erratic, I guess? And I'm actually pretty sure the word "sabaody" appeared on a transmitting Sabaody Den Den Mushi during the Marineford War arc.

It's tough to admit that you've made a mistake, huh?

I like the way you're trying to make it sound like my argument doesn't make any sense when in fact it's yours that is full of holes.

You raise "Eustass" and "Urouge" as examples of me being "erratic"? What? Those aren't even close to being the same thing. For one thing, they're entirely foreign words from a Japanese perspective, whereas "Shabondy" is a coined term based on an ordinary Japanese piece of vocabulary. But more importantly, the katakana representations of those words are directly equivalent to how an English speaker would pronounce them (barring the obvious quirks of katakana-isation in general). There's no reason to alter the official romanisations to make them easier to pronounce, because it's perfectly obvious how to pronounce them already!

By contrast, ask an average English speaker how to pronounce "Sabaody", and I'm pretty sure they'd come up with something along the lines of "Sa-ba-o-dee", which isn't even close to how the word would be pronounced in Japanese OR Portuguese. Perhaps they'd do a slightly better job if I included the accent, spelling it "Sabãody", but I'm pretty sure most English speakers wouldn't know how to interpret that accent anyway. And of course, the accent doesn't appear in the official spelling, so that would still be an alteration! How "terrible"!

And you raise the fact that "Sabaody" appeared on a Den Den Mushi during the Marinford arc as evidence against me? Erm, I think it's appeared on a lot more than that, as I already acknowledged in my original post. As I said, I still prefer "Shabondy".

The one part of your post that does make sense is raising "karaoke" as a bad example. You're right, it's not quite the same thing. That said, neither is "pasokon". Obviously if "pasokon" appeared as an ordinary word in a sentence, I'd translate it as "PC" or "computer", just as if "shabon" appeared as an ordinary word in a sentence I'd translate it as "soap". What does that have to do with the situation we're talking about? Nothing. "Karaoke" was more relevant, but I admit still not the best example I could have chosen. I can't think of a better one offhand, though, so whatever. My point still stands, whether it has a good example to support it or not. There's no need to treat a word that's integrated into the Japanese language as though it were the original word, particularly if doing so would lead to rampant misunderstandings.

Oh, and since you seem to think I'm just blindly going on the defensive and refusing to admit that I'm "wrong", let me throw you a bone and point out an argument you could have made against me that would at least have made actual sense. There is one translation I've made that would have been a somewhat valid example of my being "erratic", unlike the two that you gave – namely, Lluvia from Fairy Tail, whose name I spell according to its origin, the Spanish word for rain, despite the fact that the first consonant is actually pronounced with a "j" sound, which would be far from obvious to an English speaker. There are differences here that led me to favour the original spelling – for one thing, unlike "shabon", "lluvia" isn't a part of the Japanese language, so it seems less appropriate to revert to the Japanese spelling, and for another, going with the Japanese spelling here would also lead to an imperfect pronunciation, since the "v" would become a "b". So in order to indicate the pronunciation properly, I would have been forced to come up with some kind of hybrid that isn't true to either language, and would frankly have been stylistically horrible.

Nonetheless, it's fundamentally a very similar issue, so I suppose you could say that I'm "erratic". Personally, I would put it a little differently: I judge these things on a case-by-case basis, going with whatever seems to present the best solution, stylistically and practically, in that particular instance. If you disagree with my opinion, then that's your prerogative, but don't try to make out that it's somehow invalid.
