Berserk 289

Apparently this translation was meant to be exclusive to Franky House. So if you're reading this now for the first time, please don't use it to scanlate, thanks.

NOTE - i don't read this regularly, so I dont know how to spell their names.
Please check 'em with the previous chapters.

I have no confidence in writing pirate-speak so someone should probably re-word this.

EDIT - some headway has been made on Puck's speech on page 10, a second opinion is appreciated. Otherwise, it should be use-able.

Berserk - ch 289
Millennium Falcon Arc- The chapter of Falconia - Battle at sea (2)

-They're sorely mistaken if they think they can compare the Essu's (Ys's?) newest Galleon to that heap of scrap! (t/n - got a better insult?)
-Woah!! Got 'im!! You got 'im!! Even though it's that far away--!!
-Really? (t/n - O RLY?!)

02-03

04
-uwoaaaah!!

-This be lookin' bad, cap'n!
-The Sea Louse an' th' Mashido Snail 'ave lost their main and fore-mast! Blast! We're sittin' ducks! (t/n NO CLUE what the ship names are, look them up)

05
-Quit yer whinin' men!
-We've 'aut no choice but ta' run our ship into those scallywags and board 'em, or me name's not Cap'n Shakuraida!! (t/n - what is his name?!)
-B-but how..!?

-By 'are sheer will!
-We'll bite into 'em!
-EEEEK!!

-Hard to port!
-About ship!!
-The rudder won't turn any further, cap'n!
small: uwate?
-gocchan desu!
t/n - it's a pun, and i can't think of any english equivalent here. uwate is what they say in about ship, but...it's also a sumo move. So puck here says a typical sumo phrase which I think means "i'm stuffed". not sure.

06
-Uwahahaa! Th' ship's cannons an' men may be skilled, but the ship's cap'n is jus' a boy! A spoiled prince!
-He's headin' 'imself right into th' winds! In a battle at sea, bein' windward always gives ye the upper hand!

-Hard ta' port! Now's 'are chance!!

-C-cap'n...it's no good!
-The Sea Louse an' th' Mashido Snail 're caught together! Th' rudder won't turn!
-...WHAT?!

-Ta' make matters worse, there's smoke everywhere! We can't see 'or enemy!

-...Shiver me timbers!
-Is this wat he was af'er!?!

07
-Assuming a windward position is the most advantageous
-Was your mistake from the start!

-We can't see thru th' smoke!
-The rudder won't budge!
-The winds 'are blowin' the smoke into our line o' sight! We don't e'en know where th' enemy is!

-Thanks to the winds pushing up against us, it's raising our flank

-Uwoah!!!
-Cap'n!! Please get down!!

-And due to our crew's movements it's hard to hit the deck

-On the other hand, the winds are exposing the enemy deck
-Plus, it's making it easier to load the cannons (t/n - i assume because they're at an angle)
-And gives us an open shot

08
-We've no choice but t' cut across th' smoke!!
-Th' enemy's right in front 'a us!

09
-...gone..!?
-Arg!!
-Where'd it go!?

very small - h-hey!! behind us!!

10
-The most important thing is how to use your circumstances to your advantage
puck:
シミュレーション燃え！
海軍式はタールで汚れた手のひらうらがえし
-Allow me to demonstrate...FIRE!!
small: Have to use the back of my hand because of the tar on my palms from the marine ceremony (t/n - he's trying to look good as a commanding officer)
(t/n - this is the best I got right now. Second opinion appreciated)

-fire the cannons!!
small: fire!!

11
-Blast it all!! When did 'ey turn windward?!
-Impossible!

-Ye can't turn that fast!
-Th' ship's a monster!
-Starboard cannons ready ta' fire!!
-I-it's too late!!

12
-AAH!!
-Cap'n!! This is it!!
-We're done 'fer!!
-We shouldn't 'a picked a fight 'wit th' Essu (Ys's?) prince o' the sea!!
small: Yer tellin' me!

-gunuuuu!!
-damn ye!! burnin' me ship!!

-Listen up, ye sea dogs! We're pullin' out!
-Throw all yer luggage overboard! What 're waiting for?! Haul yer arses!

-Cap'n! What of the sea lice and the Mashido Snail!? (ships)
-Leave 'em be! They can follow by themselves!

13
-Curse you, Ys' prince o' the sea! I'll never ferget this!
-Take that! And don't you forget it!!

-Shall we pursue?
あれだけ痛めつけときゃ　今度は奴らの方が海賊か私掠船の格好の獲物さ
-Leave them be. We really gave them a run for their money. The next time pirates show, the privateers will take care of them ** (t/n - this is my guess. privateers are private warship authorized by a country's government by letters of marque to attack foreign shipping. see wikipedia for more)
small - privateers?
それにあんなむさっくるしい連中を拿捕して御夫人方と同乗させるなんて無粋なマネができるかね
-besides, it would be tasteless of me to capture such dispicable ruffians while ladies are onboard

-The battle is won, gentlemen!
-Excellent job! I'll allow anyone not currently on duty to take their share of rum!!

-Let the women in the hold know too
small: huuuuuh

-What's with that look?
-So you weren't just a womanizer after all!
small: So you weren't an irresponsible captain after all!

14
-It seems the battle has subsided

-What of Guts' condition?
-His fever is up again. It's because of his burns, he's unable to sweat

-Looks painful
-Like he's seeing some kinda bad dream
-At least, that's what I think

-Teacher, is it possible to dispel bad dreams by magic?
-Well...
-It is possible
-but...

15
-Because guts is so weak at this moment,
-It would only make it worse
-All we can do is let it take its course, for now...
