## One Piece Definitive Edition v012-023 (Colored) (Digital) (VLT) {Alabasta} {v1.0} ___ **Welcome to One Piece Definitive Edition!** ___ Releases: *(v1 = translated but lacks re-editing & revision, v2 = mostly finalized)* . [v001-011 {East Blue} {v2.0}](https://nyaa.si/view/1952691) . v012-023 {Alabasta} {v1.0}] --- This *non-profit* fan project aims to fix and **retranslate** the existing English version of One Piece, Eiichiro Oda's grand modern epic, to offer the *definitive* way to read the One Piece manga in English. We recommend this for both newcomers to the manga and those hoping to reread a version that is closer to Oda's original vision. Using the [Glitter batch](https://nyaa.si/view/1614612) as a base (a combined effort by JK, Colored Council, anon, etc.), this Definitive Edition presents an updated version of the original colored manga with a revised script that addresses all the **issues** with the official translation. Our translator, who has professional experience in the field, directly referenced the original Japanese release to improve the official English translation, bringing it much closer to Oda's original intent. This includes: - **Name Corrections** : Names have been changed to their canon counterparts. No more "Zolo"! - **Fixing Translation Errors** : Thousands of changes, ranging from small adjustments to major corrections, have been made. - **Improved Dialogue** : Standardized early pirate lingo, fixed VIZisms, and refined speech patterns for consistency. - **Censorship Removal** : Characters are allowed to swear, though insults are used sparingly. - **Translation Corners** : Translation corners at the end of every volume provide insights into Japanese language and culture. This is an early release of One Piece Definitive Edition, covering the Alabasta Saga. Future sagas will be released at a later date, and over time, we plan to work on a version that translates all sound effects and provides even higher image quality, which will be released as time goes on. Currently, [v2.0 of East Blue has already been released](https://nyaa.si/view/1952691). We are offering this version now rather than making you wait for the entire series to be complete. Once all sagas are finished, we will also release a full re-release as one ~~piece~~ large batch. > If you find any `typos` or `errors` in these pages, please **report** them on the [Colored Council Discord](https://discord.gg/ajXTqdqv9P) so they can be fixed in the final release! *Please support the official release (links included in the files) and enjoy the adventure of a lifetime!* ~ **Vega Labo Team** - Stella (Production) - Shaka (Translation) - Lilith (Translation) - Edison (Translation, Management) - Pythagoras (Typesetting) - Atlas (Proofreading) ___  ___  ___  ___ ☕ ___
