UPDATE: Added translator's notes for a grand total of six, which I placed at the bottom. Also, fixed typos and rephrased two lines.

A super-late translation, but one I really wanted to do.　Huge thanks to Tora-chan for her transcription, and a note: 意義 on p16 is actually 異議. Very important.

Finally, questions and corrections are welcome! :)

UPDATE. Good news: I now know what most of Ryuuma's attacks mean. It's french, yes, but they're all fencing terms, so they refer to specific types of attacks or movements. The "coup droit" last chapter, then is meant to be translated as "direct strike", rather than "right strike."

A few notes:

1. This is indeed my first One Piece. I don't know if I'll be doing more. Depends on how much time I have and how this one's received.

2. Despite being my first One Piece, I'm a huge fan of the series. It's my favorite, hands down (I nearly cried at the end of the CP9 Arc). I have every last volume and have read it from start to finish in Japanese. So I know the characters and what they're supposed to sound like.

Important Update Added a correction made by Nihongaeri to the key line in this chapter. It affects the explanatory note, as well. Also thanks to Nihongaeri I fixed Kisame's line, which was missing an if and ed, and thanks to no one by myself I added a missing apostrophe to one Kiba's line! Yipee!

UpadteCorrected a couple of minor translation mistakes here and there, going over the thing with a fine toothed comb.

It should be easier to read and easier to typeset, should anyone wish to. Again, my translations are completely free, and belong to no particular group (which means any group or individual is free to use them without incurring the Wrath of Manga Helpers Admin).

And while it's possible... Read More " "

So I visit mangahelpers today and find no translations for Naruto based on the original Japanese text, so... I took it upon myself to do one.

This translation is, by the way, completely free. Any group, Jack, Jill or Joe can use it for whatever they see fit, and I'm not calling the cops on anyone.

And since this text is not associated to any group, I went a bit liberal with some of Deidara's lines. What I have to be clear on, though, is that I made it a point that any change made to the letter of the text had to be in accordance with the spirit of the text.

So it's not "I'm having him say this because I felt like it", there's a reason for every last deviation from what would be a... Read More " "

Because there's no such thing as having too many translations for a single manga! :p

(actually, I really wanted to try my hand at some of the lines in this chapter... can't say I feel I really succeeded, though).

Would appreciate feedback on translation mistakes and typos, as always.

Oh, hell, everytime I happen to do a Naruto chapter, it's already crowded! :tem

I did this for a friend of mine at the office (I got her started on Naruto to begin with), so I figure I might as well post it here...

Note that this is not a translation of any English version in particular (my source is the original Japanese), but as always, NJT's and Nihongaeri's translations are particularly appreciated.

Por cierto, se aceptan observaciones de los demás hispanohablantes, tanto traductores como lectores, sobre todo en cuanto a qué partes del guión les suenan extrañas y demás.
