ben0119 Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Great, how long are we going to be stuck with that filler bump? 1 Quote
Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago A new intro? Laugh Tale is the name of the Final Island where the One Piece is supposed to be? Have we ever heard that before now? First time I ever recall them saying the name of the island. Quote
ben0119 Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Oh hey we got a new intro, and got a run down of the crew. 2 Quote
DangerMouse Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago His pants lmao LOL all the way back down to where they started 1 Quote
Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Sanji can walk on air, so getting up would be easy for him. Sure he wouldn't have minded carrying Nami up either. 2 Quote

ben0119 Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Wow all their progress was undone. I hope this whole episode won't be climbing up the elephant. You should have drawn a better dragon than that. A real ninja LOL. 1 Quote
ben0119 Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago (edited) A monkey, really? We don't need a new annoying sidekick. Another splitting up lmao. I think it only listens to the guy who draws him? Edited 7 hours ago by ben0119 Quote
ben0119 Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago You're a really bad judge of what's cute, Robin! 2 Quote
Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Luffy you dummy. Poor dragon thingie. It's like they're torturing the poor guy. At least they're giving him plenty of encouragement. LOL 2 Quote
ben0119 Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Luffy you DUMBASS. Don't pull the dragon back! Honestly Luffy and Robin should've been able to get to the top by themselves with their abilities. Or at least help the dragon. 2 Quote
Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Ryunos... and Law and Zoro ruining the moment. 1 Quote
ben0119 Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago They finally got to the top. I swear if they had fallen back down again... The dragon turned back to a drawing? The bird lasted a lot longer. LOL that dramatic "death" "This is dumb." "Just a crappy drawing." LOL Zoro and Law. Quote

ben0119 Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Maybe the city doesn't think it needs any guards because they don't expect anyone to get to the top of the elephant. 3 Quote
Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago The elephant looks so freaky in that shot. Seems like it's barely even alive. What is it, a zombie elephant or something? 3 Quote
ben0119 Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago A whale shaped tree? The city looks truly ancient. Don't just rush in, Luffy! Someone busted in recently? A giant creature? How are trees and flowers growing on an elephant?! 1 Quote
DangerMouse Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago LOL Usopp, yeah no peaceful islands for you 1 Quote

saito34 Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Aww..this place looks fun...adventure surely awaits. 2 Quote
Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Groups in trouble already, and of course Luffy's off on his own having a ball meanwhile. 2 Quote

ben0119 Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Gunpowder and gas, Caesar might have been involved. Someone is watching them. Attacking rabbit girl?! That deer lady or whatever she is wearing Nami's clothes can't be a good sign. But seems someone else has invaded. Aaaand it's over haha. 3 Quote

What is it, a zombie elephant or something? I had a crazy thought that the elephant is nearing the end of its life and Zo will be destroyed at the end of this arc. What a shit show that would be. 😄 It's freaky how its eyes look empty though! Quote

Huh, I am seeing it is also referred to as Laugh Tale. Not sure what's up with that. Quote

Huh, I am seeing it is also referred to as Laugh Tale. Not sure what's up with that. This is kind of an interesting story. From what I can gather, the name of the island was always written the same in Japanese, using...I think katakana (I don't know enough about moonrunes to know how these things work exactly). The literal transliteration of the characters is something like "ra-fu-te-ru." So when everyone official or otherwise was first translating that word some 25 years ago, they came up with the reasonable assumption of "Raftel" based on how these things usually work. The English phrase "Laugh Tale" apparently first appeared on-screen in the movie Stampede of all places, and then Oda confirmed in a chapter note somewhere in the 900s that "Laugh Tale" was the intended translation. I don't know whether it was intentional vagueness on Oda's part, or whether he realized at some point, "oh hey I should clarify this." If it was intentional then it's not all that dissimilar to the pirate Gold Roger's actual name being Gol D. Roger. Long story short, it was always "supposed" to be Laugh Tale, but no one has any way of knowing that before it was explicitly stated. Funi switched over to that translation after it was confirmed. As to whatever significance that name may or may not have...you're gonna be here a while. 2 Quote
