Subtext: Enel's Great Space Plan Volume 25: The Space Pirates at their wit's end. *quick trans*
Page 02:
Luffy: You bastard, my shadow
Franky: Calm down, Moria isn't here!!!
Sidetext: Awoken!
Zoro: hm? This is.........
Sanji: The Sunny.
Luffy: The Sunny!? Why are we back where we started...
Page 03
Zoro: ...no...it wasn't just a dream
Zoro: my shadow is gone.........!!!
Zoro: ...this feels weird...
Luffy: Oi, emergency!!! This is more important!!!
Luffy: There's nothing here to eat!!!
Sanji: That's because it's the only thing we have a lot of
Sanji: They left all the preserved foods, and carried everything else out with them.
Luffy: There's no crackers for the cheese either!!!
Luffy: Meeaat!!!
Zoro: This is really dishonorable... I let down my guard...!!
Luffy: We lost the Pirate Lunchboxes too...
Luffy: It's wrong... with just cheese...
Sanji: By the way, Nami-san doesn't seem to be around here.........?
Page 04:
Sanji: Kidnapped!!? Why didn't you chase them down to the ends of the earth!!?
Sanji: Who is he and where's he at?! I'll go get her back right now!!!
Usopp: Sorry!!! But we didn't just let her go, things just worked out that way...!!!
Usopp: Anyways, listen to the whole story!!!
Usopp: Alright! There are two huge things we can't afford to not get back!!
Luffy: Food
Luffy: Nami
Luffy: Any our shadows too right? That's three.
Usopp: Uuh... one of those doesn't belong in the ranking... right now let's gonna focus on Nami and the shadows.
Sanji: wha...
Sanji: ...we......we...!!!
Page 05:
Sanji: A Wedding~~~!!! Are you fucking kidding!!!
Sanji: Shit! Unforgivable!!!
Luffy: He must be brave to wanna marry Nami......so then
Luffy: I'm a Giant? They could do a Zombie like that?
Zoro: So that means we know who Luffy and the Cook's Zombies are right?
Zoro: Usopp
Usopp: T...that he was one of the Shichibukai.........!!
Chopper: I'm feeling really scared all of the sudden...!!
Franky: You guys didn't know?
Luffy: Hm? Okay so if the zombies don't look like the actual person then...
Luffy: I saw Zoro's zombie!?
Zoro: How was it?
Luffy: Hmm.. it felt kinda like you, cause he was wearing wood shoes and all *Trans note: Luffy is refering to "Geta"*
Luffy: But I still knew it wasn't you.
Zoro: well, whatever it is is fine.
Zoro: If we track down those three zombies and throw salt into their mouths then
Zoro: our shadows will return right?
PAge 06:
Zoro: But it's good you found a weak point like that.
Franky: The one who told us about the weakness, and to
Franky: to come back to get you first was that skeleton guy.
Luffy: Eeh!? You met Brook!?
Franky: We met......
Franky: When we did... I asked him a pretty rude question...
Franky: no... from the moment you wanted to make that our nakama
Franky: I didn't even want to acknowledge him but...
Franky: even though he's just a frail skeleton...
Franky: the more I talked to him
Franky: He had bones
Franky: Not just a skeleton's
Franky: He's a man!!!
Franky: Wait a sec!!
Franky: While we're still talking... One more thing. Answer my question,
PAge 07:
Franky: If you go out and meet people with the way you look
Franky: You know what kind of reactions they'll have... right?
Franky: You're a talking skeleton ......? There's no way that
Franky: You could become friends with a guy that creepy. Something that abnormal will die of shame!!
Robin: Franky, what are you...
Franky: Even if you got out of this Cursed Sea, your fate
Franky: will be the same as those hopeless years you spent here.
Franky: You said that "You were lonelier than death" right
Franky: If I was you... I would've given up living a long time ago!!!
Franky: Living such a small existence... acting like a gentlemen from time to time
Franky: Tell us what you left out of the story.........!! *Mostly accurate, could use a second look*
Franky: ......To go that far, to live like that... what did you want to accomplish?
Franky: What was the promise that you made with your nakama!?
Page 08:
Brook: ...... Yohoho
Brook: You don't care about timing it seems.
Brook: It's quite simple...
Brook: Long ago... our pirate crew left
Brook: one of our nakama behind in a certain place.
Brook: We knew it was a painful and difficult decision but...
Brook: we made a solid promise that we would "absolutely come back"
Brook: We set off on our ship
Brook: and were annihilated on this sea.
Brook: and so as not to break our promise to him...!!
Brook: the result was that I lived for a very long time, alone on that ship.
Brook: because I have the long-held obligation to return!!!
Brook: since the day we died... it's been over 50 years I suppose.
Page 09:
Franky: 50 years!?...oi, It was that old of a story!! I wasn't even born yet.
Franky: I'm sorry but, even that guy couldn't have possibly waited such a long time...
Brook: Why is it... I know it's possible he isn't waiting, he had the right to leave.
Brook: But if by some chance he believed in our promise, and he has always been there waiting for us...
Brook: How lonely would he be right now!?
Brook: He may think we had betrayed him
Brook: but if he continued to wait for us there even now
Brook: how earnest his feelings must be!!
Franky: You......
Brook: The name of the nakama, whom we swore to meet again on that coast was
Brook: Laboon
Page 10:
Brook: We certainly couldn't take a young whale on a dangerous voyage like ours...
Person: We'll absolutely come back!!
Laboon: Buooooh!!!
Brook: I imagine he must have become very big by now.........!!!
Franky: You nakama was a whale...!?
Brook: ......Yes.
Brook: I can't help but feel that he has believed in us all this time
Brook: And thinks that we might come back, ...and like always
Brook: we would play our cheerful music while waving our arms out to him.
Laboon: Buooooh!!
Brook: I don't think he would forgive us for having died irresponsibly,
Brook: And because of our selfish promise would yell into the skies beyond his voice,
Brook: that death isn't an apology......!!!
Page 11:
Brook: Because a man once said...!!! That they would absolutely come back!!!
Franky: And that's the reason he...
Luffy: Laboon
Sanji: It's him...
Usopp: are you serious...
Chopper: ......Him?
Luffy: Yeah
Page 12:
Luffy: We know him
Luffy: that whale
Usopp: It's not a mountain!!! It's a whale!!!
Page 13:
Laboon: Buooooooooooh
Franky: .........!? What!? What do you mean!?
Sanji: It was at the entrance of the grand line
Sanji: The Two Capes
Sanji: This shitty huge Whale was there
Sanji: Ramming his head against the wall that divides the world over and over, trying to break through.
Sanji: While he kept waiting for the pirates that 50 years ago
Sanji: promised they'd absolutely come back...
Page 14:
Sanji: After a while Laboon heard that the pirates had run away
Sanji: And he accepted that, and he tried to break back through. *Translators Note: Laboon believes that they are not on the Grand Line any more. He accepted their retreat, and just wanted to go back and find them again on the normal seas.*
Sanji: Somehow, Luffy convinced it to stop acting suicidal by trying to break through the wall.
Sanji: He's still alive right now at that cape, still waiting for his nakama!!
Usopp: ...This is unbelievable... they kept their promise together for more than 50 years...!!
Zoro: To think that one of the nakama that Laboon was waiting for...
Zoro: was...
Zoro: That skeleton.
Brook: Hah
Ryuuma: Hah
Page 15:
Ryuuma: Yohohoho
Ryuuma: You have become stronger in the last 5 years
Ryuuma: I have as well!!
Brook: Wah!!
Ryuuma: Because we both think the same way!!!
Brook: Uwah......!!!
Brook: Hah
Brook: Hah
Brook: Hah
Ryuuma: Like always you treat that Afro as if it's important...!!
Ryuuma: There's no way you can protect a weak point that large from being cut...!!!
Page 16:
Brook: Quiet!!!
Brook: Yohoooooo!!!
Brook(t): Laboon
Brook(t): Do you still.........
Brook(t): remember us...?
Brook(t): When I think of how you must feel it's heart wrenching. Though I don't have a heart now!!
Brook(t): Yohohohohoo!!
Brook: Yoo
Brook(t): The Grand Line is so impregnable, despite all my strength
Brook: Yohoo...ho!!!
Brook(t): Our nakama... have all passed away.
Brook: kuh...
Brook: hah
Brook(t): In addition to losing our nakama, my face, my body, I've lost it all.
Page 17:
Brook(t): Even if we met again
Brook(t): You wouldn't even know who I was In this skeletal form.
Brook: Wah!! Stop... Let the afro alone!!
Ryuuma: Yohoho
Brook(t): I don't have anything left really but
Brook: Bah
Brook: Hah
Brook(t): They all.........
Brook(t): Said this head of mine made you laugh...!!!
Brook: UwaAAAAAAAH
Brook(t): I'll protect this look to the end
Brook(t): Because I'm coming see you.
Brook(t): I hope you're waiting, at our Promised Cape.........!!!
Page 18:
Franky: Uuoooooooooh!!!
Franky: Dammit, I love that bone-guy and that whale!!!
Others: Shut up!!!
Luffy: Uhaaaah!! I'm all pumped up!! He's a musician!!
Luffy: A talking skeleton!! And has an Afro!! And the Yohoho!! And he's Laboon's nakama!!!
Luffy: Even if I have to drag him along he's gonna board this ship!!
Luffy: I'll make him our nakama!!! You got a problem with that you guys?!!!
Robin: Fufuh......
Robin: If we did would your opinion change?
Usopp: I want him to join!! He's with Laboon!!!
Franky: Agreed dammit!!!
Chopper: Me too, you bastard!!! I'm not scared of skeletons either!!!
Page 19:
Sanji: Before something that simple!!
Sanji: We have to stop Nami-san's Wedding!!! Dammit!!!
Luffy: Zoro!!
Luffy: Where're you going?
Zoro: I'm gonna land for a bit
Zoro: The number of shadows we have to get back just went up one didn't it?
Luffy: Shishishishi!!
Sidetext: Now they start the attack!!
Luffy: Yoshaah!!! You guys!!! Prepare for the counterattack!!!
Luffy: We're gonna blow down Thriller Bark!!!
Usopp: Go!!
Sanji: You too, idiot!!

Edit: kekekekeke, well, even though he's offline again I'm glad I checked back for more of the trans! since I didn't actually look at the RAW pics, I had no idea we would get Oda to unveil one of his HUGE mysteries like this. Somehow, though many might disagree, I truly believe that Oda planned SOMETHING like this since he first drew that whale, maybe earlier. This is the second time ANY manga has made me shed tears (not open crying, but the kind of light tears that you just can't hold back), the first being the sad time of Robin's backstory. Both times by Oda. This is why One Piece remains my #1 favorite manga through the ages. Thanks very much for the trans!!!
Final Edit: So, you're gonna be the first one done anyway. Thanks for the great trans! Since your typos aren't commonly misspelled words, I'm willing to accept that they're probably typos, so kudos to you.
thanks.. ^^
u rock
[hr]
You holded back your light tears when nami cried Luffy to help her (Arlong arc)... :oh man you're cold.
Please point out the typos :( It helps make it better!
I wonder why it said I was offline... I've been on MH for the past like 6 hours now... :s
I try and take my time with the rough (I.E. big words) parts of the script. For the first 5 pages or so though it was pretty easy stuff. Now days I do 1 quick pass, and after that I go back and give each questionable line the attention it needs. This way, speed scanners have something to use immediately that is generally more accurate than many quick translations, and people using it a few hours later have (to the best of my ability) a fully accurate script. This is in no way a jab at the people doing quick translations though, they do awesome work and I wish I had their speed.
I think you noted it too, he was trying to find the crew, not simply trying to get out of the GL.
Or am i just imagining things?
The crew was said to have left the Grand Line in Volume 12 Chapter 102. Laboon wanted to get out of the Grand Lind so that he could go find them again. He was okay with them running away (although that wasn't the true case).
