i know japanese. cursory translation -- zoro is indeed asking mihawk to train him. mihawk at first laughs at him and tells him that he's ridiculous for asking his enemy to train him. he says it's embarassing, and that zoro shoudl just leave instead of crawling back to him, unable to defeat the monkeys and unable to go to sea. zoro says he took care of the monkeys, which shocks mihawk. zoro says he wants to get stronger, mihawk understands that someone with as much pride as zoro would only do something like that to get stronger for someone else, agrees and tells the ghost girl to attend to zoro's wounds. Zoro and perona are obv explaining the meaning of the message. luffy is taken to an island where the season changes every week, apparently training with rayleigh himself (so sick.) jimbei leaves. says he'll see luffy and his crew again in 2 years. some exchanges between rayleigh and whatshername for comic relief. she says she'll bring luffy food every day, but rayleigh says nuh uh. that's basically all for now.
Quote:
this is so sick. luffy on the last page says hold on i need to put this away, walks over to a tree which he confirms with rayleigh to be the only safe place on the island, and says that he's quitting his "mugiwara pirate luffy" name for a while, leaves the vivre card and hat there, and goes to train with rayleigh. rayleigh makes jokes about what to call him, sensei, shishou, etc, but luffy just calls him rayleigh, and says whatever.
the third haki (haoushoku) has to do with "iatsu" which is basically to overwhelm your enemy. luffy is impressed.
Quote:
the busoushoku is explained as the one that can hit logia types. it's explained as one of the only defenses against the devil fruit types, especially the logia users. ha-oushoku just seems to be the one that can make things feint. luffy's retarded, and finally connects the dots (you can see him recalling how rayleigh hits kizaru).
Quote:
i guess there's more detail. zoro's saying he's not stupid to the point that he can say something absurd like he can defeat mihawk. mihawk says he doesn't understand how zoro can do this, while still acknowledging mihawk as his enemy, to put his head to the ground and ask mihawk to train him. zoro grandly responds, to defeat you, or literally, to surpass you. mihawk finds this funny, laughs, haha you're asking me to raise a student so that he can defeat me? that's pretty dumb. looks like you found something that's more important than your goals. (basically their duel-esque promise). THAT's when mihawk thinks to himself that he understands zoro blah blah blah see my previous post.

p01
Chapter 597: 3D2Y


p02
Grandline Kuraigana (So-Dark) island, Ruin of Shikkearu (Moisty) Kingdom

Zoro: Please..... Teach me the sword!!
Mihawk: You dissapoint me Roronoa... You wish to learn the sword from me...? Shame on you.

p03
Mihawk: Get out. I have no use for a pathetic man
Zoro: ......................
Mihawk: It seems I overestimated you
.... what are you doing, you're doing nothing but disgracing yourself
Zoro: I want to get stronger!!
Mihawk: I have nothing to teach one who couldn't even defeat the baboons to reach the sea, and instead come sulking back to me...
Zoro: I've already defeated the baboons...!!!
Mihawk: !? (He defeated them!!?)
Zoro: Only your head remains...

p04
Zoro: But I'm not so foolish to believe I could win against you yet....
Mihawk: I don't understand.... if you still see me as your enemy, why do you bow your head and ask for my tutelage? For what!?
Zoro: To overcome you!!!

Mihawk: heh.... wahahahahahaha! You ask me to train the swordsman who will come after my own head!?
You're a funny man, hahaha!!
Haha... this is rediculous. You know it doesn't make your action any less disgraceful
It seems you've found something more important than your ambition.
Zoro: !!

p05
Mihawk: Hey, ghostgirl!! Go tend to his wounds
Perona: Don't!! don't order me around!!
Mihawk: we'll start the training once you're healed.
Zoro: !!
Mihawk: (what a clumsy man you are... when someone like you is willing to let go of his pride, it's always for someone else)

Perona: 3D2Y? You're right, there's a tatoo that says that on Strawhat's right arm!
Zoro: We promised to gather at certain place in 3 days... but look where we are now
Perona: 3D stands for 3 days!? But 3D is crossed out, and there's 2Y....
Zoro: 2 years....
Perona: Two YEARS!
Zoro: Our meeting isn't 3 days later, but 2 years later...!!
The other actions he did are all camoflage to fake out the world's attention...
This is a message only meant for us... and it's a decision Luffy made.
Even if we impatiently rush for it, we're not ready to run through the New World!!
We have to stop now, and gain strength... and we'll meet up again!!

p06-07
At Sabaody Island... in 2 years!!!

p08
Few days ago, on the Calm Belt

Luffy: Jinbei... thanks for everything!!
Jinbei: It's ok, I'm the one that should give you gratitude!!
In Impel Down, I asked you for a place to die... but I ungracefully survived it.
I'm sure I could be of your help again in the future.
Anyways.... I'll see you again in two years at Fishman Island!!
I'll be looking forward to the day when you and your crew come to see us!!
Luffy: Yeah!!

p09
Calm Belt, north of Amazon Lily, the uninhabited island of Rusukaina (No one home?)
Rayleigh: This island is perfect. It's a "48 seasons" island, a rough island where the season changes every week....
Hancock: Luffy!! I'll bring food for you every day from Amazon Lily!
Luffy: What, really Hancock!? Oh, then please bring me that Gorgon-something your island is known for! That thing tasted great!
Hancock: Of... of course!! I'll bring anything you want!! And that's the tenth time you've called my name...! Is this... m...marriage!?
Nyon: No!! And why are you walking further away....?

Rayleigh: Hancock!! Don't spoil him like that... While Luffy is in training, no woman is allowed to step foot on this island
Hancock: Why do you think you have the right to decide that, Rayleigh!?
Rayleigh: There are plenty of food in the mountain, forest, rivers, and the sea!!
He can't possibly do well as a pirate without those survival skills!! It's all for Luffy's sake!
Hancock: oh, ok.. if it's for Luffy, I'll bear it.
.... but Rayleigh, this island is really dangerous!! What if something happens to Luffy!?
Rayleigh: If it wasn't, this wouldn't be training. If you're so worried, pray for him.

p10-11
Rayleigh: Now we are the only two on this island.... look at this magnificient nature!!
Long ago, they say there used to be a nation here... but the humans lost the survival race.
This is a harsh enviroment where the nature rules!!
Luffy: This smells of grand adventure!!
Rayleigh: The amount of vicious beast is astounding....!! It's countless
There are at least 500 creatures here that you're no match for yet... If you don't get stronger, you won't even be able to sleep!
Luffy: Why do you know what's living here and what's not? And their numbers?
Rayleigh: Don't　you think it's unrelated to you... you must learn this power... the power known as "Haki"!!

[Dean-Winchester]

p12
Luffy: Here it comes!! Something's coming this way, Rayleigh!!
Rayleigh: Listen Luffy... Haki is a power found in every human being in this world....
"presence", "will", "intimidation".... it's no different from those common human senses.
.... however, majority of humans don't notice the power in them...
Luffy: Is that an elephant? It's a huge elephant!!
Rayleigh: .... or they try to awaken it, but fails to do so in their life time....
to "not doubt", that is your strength!!
Watch well.... Haki is roughly categorized in two types.
Luffy: Watch out!!!
Rayleigh: It's alright... the elephant is coming for my head from the right, using his nose....
Luffy: what....?

p13
Rayleigh: To feel the opponent's "presence" strongly. This is known as the "Color of Observation (Kenbun-shoku)" haki...
By training this, you can know the position of the target whose even out of your sight...
the number of enemies.. and even what their next immediate move is.
Luffy: oh...!!
Enel (flashback): Kick with the left leg.... "Mantra"
Rayleigh: In the sky island of Skypiea, they call this Mantra.

Rayleigh: Next is the "Color of Armor (Busou-shoku)" Haki. For this, imagine yourself wearing an invisible armor...
Luffy: Whoa!

p14
Luffy: I.. know that move!!
Sentoumaru (flashback): Ashigara Dokkoi!!

Rayleigh: If your armor is strong, of course you can use it for attack. *boink*
Luffy: OUCH!! I'm rubber, and your hit hurts..!?
Rayleigh: This is what's so useful about this power

p15
Rayleigh: Other than attacking their weakness, this Armored Haki is the only efficient power against Devil Fruit users.
Even though the Logia types intangible bodies may feel invincible, with this power you can directly contact their real body...
Luffy: So this is how you managed to touch Kizaru.... so I could even hit that marine Smoky and Aokiji?
Rayleigh: Have you seen the amazons' arrows? This power can be imbued into weapons.
Luffy: Yeah, I thought those were made out of steel!
Rayleigh: Color of Observation, and Color of Armor.. these two types are Haki.
....however, there are few rare individuals in this world that can use this following type of haki....

p16
Rayleigh: This is the Color of Conqueror King (Haoh-shoku) Haki... the type of haki that can intimidate the opponent...!!
Those who become extremely famous in this world is often found to use this haki....
However... this Haoushoku can be controlled, but not trained.
This power is the will of the user himself...!! Its strength only grows as the user himself grows..
Luffy: It's the one you did at the auction house...
Rayleigh: You've already experienced it, your potential for Haoushoku has already been awakened
Until you can control it perfectly, you should not use it very often...
Else, you'll affect even the unrelated bystanders...!

p18
Rayleigh: ...what is it?
Luffy: Amazing...!! The crew of the pirate king can defeat such monsters without even laying hands on it...!?
Rayleigh: Wahaha, did you learn some respect for me now?
Luffy: yeah

Luffy: ... but this Haki, I've seen it used many times
Rayleigh: I'm sure you have... but to learn it is not an easy task...
Although it's too short a time normally... you have great potential.
I'll do my best to teach you the basics of Color of Observation, Armor, and King in two years.
Luffy: Ok
Rayleigh: ...however, most poeple lean towards a certain color depending on their forte.
You must discover it, and train the color you are best at.
If you can strengthen all the types, the more you can do with them
Luffy: Ok, gotcha!

p19
Rayleigh: Now that I'm going to train you... I won't go easy on you, Luffy!!
Luffy: Yeah!! Bring it on!! ... oh wait a sec.
.... Pirate "Strawhat Luffy" is on a leave for a while.
This place is safe, right?
(Luffy puts down the strawhat)
Rayleigh: yes.
Luffy: Oh, and this too
Rayleigh: Hurry up, I'm going to start now!!
Luffy: Ok, Thanks old man!!
Rayleigh: ... no, say it like this. "Thank you Mr Rayleigh"... no, wait, Rayleigh-sensei... or Master Rayleigh...?
Luffy: Ok! Thank you Rayleigh!!
Rayleigh: ..............alright, whatever...


Editor's note: One Piece will be on leave for four weeks. The next chapter will be in WJ issue 44.

[Love Cook]

Sounds like an amazing chapter. We finally know what the tatoo is for now. It was obvious that Mihawk was going to train Zoro, altough everybody laughed at my prediction a few weeks ago. Chopper and Sanji didn't got any attention, but on the other hand we already know enough about their whereabouts. WHAT a 4 week break... damn, will the timeskip be over after that ?

[~Hasashi~]

in 4 weeks!!! does that mean after there will be a time skip? or will oda take a few weeks to go through the 2 years?

[Mugiwara]

in 4 weeks!!! does that mean after there will be a time skip? or will oda take a few weeks to go through the 2 years?

He has to plan alot ahead, he needs to update on the marines after two years, whats going on in new world, what kind of powers the strawhats will get, how much Luffy will master haki and shit, so he has alot to think about and draw he prolly has like 4-5 next chapters, but he prolly still needs the break

[Itachi65]

2years.... The Mugiwara meeting's going to be touching.... But everyone's going to get stronger. Btw, that editor's note implies that we will w8 1month for the next chapter?

[~Hasashi~]

out of all the crew

i am most interested to see usopp
combining great physical strength with his sniper abilities
i really think he could be up there with the big 3 after the time skip

@mugi: he probably has a little more figured out
he probably just has multiple options on where to take the story
and needs a couple weeks to figure out which one
then a couple more to start the next chapter (since it will be a huge one)

[Caliburn]

A whole month ._. I predict a global suicide wave across the world X_X

So Oda does the same as Kishi did.

[sexyprep1]

i cant wait for when he pwns all the rookies that rushed to new ruled atleast the ones who are still alive in the nxt two years..

[~Hasashi~]

i cant wait for when he pwns all the rookies that rushed to new ruled atleast the ones who are still alive in the nxt two years..

probably only kid
maybe another 1 or 2

[Mugiwara]

A whole month ._. I predict a global suicide wave across the world X_X

So Oda does the same as Kishi did.

I hope there is a double chapter or one looong chapter with like 35-40 pages.

[StealthShinobi]

I hope there is a double chapter or one looong chapter with like 35-40 pages.

hopefully more cuz back when i used to read FMA manga it was being released monthly and each chapter had 50 to 65 pages :D

its a good chapter
