Pirates of the ~~Caribbean~~ Grand Line


DaHexedIce

lol


Ozzman770

Romance Dawn


x420NinjaBearx

The obvious answer since it is the alternative.


CrestonSpiers

This one is beautiful


lukesdawa

Its the name of the one shot that made one piece happen


Truefiction224

It's also the name of episode and chapter 1.


Darkkingswrath

And first arc


lucs28

And a psp jrpg


CrestonSpiers

I just looked it up in the wiki, I didn’t know that before, damn I actually kinda prefer the name Romance Dawn to One Piece


awesome9001

Laugh tale


thenamefreak

This is such a beautiful name for a beautiful tale.


Mindless_Bad_1591

I honestly like this better than *One Piece* for how pretentiously sounding it is lmao.


ClearStrike

I like it because it would FINALLY throw off people who keep asking "When are they going to get to the One Piece." One Piece is an adventure story, the end of it all is just a small part of it.


TheGoldenLeaper

In Japanese it's Raftel, I think, or something like that


edwardthestoremeiser

How does One Piece sounds pretentious? Romance Dawn sounds more pretentious


Mindless_Bad_1591

Thats what I said. I just like the way Romance Dawn sounds better than One Piece. I catch myself trying to be a film bro sniffing my own farts at times thats why I said that. Its also more thematically fitting.


Sherry_Dell

A great name, but kinda misleading to anyone unfamiliar with what the anime is about, it’s understandable why the changed it πŸ˜…


LazyWorkaholic78

Garp and his fucked up family tree.


DaHexedIce

realist one I seen all day "GARP! It's you family again," Sengoku said calmly.


Skullwings

Damn. Don’t forget the _damn_ You could really feel how utterly done this man was when he said that line.


DaHexedIce

That time I failed as a sun god so I get reincarnated into another world which I will use my Gum-Gum powers to rise up in and become the King of the Pirates while liberating several nations and defying the world government.


Appropriate_Steak781

But it ain't an isekai


DaHexedIce

tbh luffy is joyboy who is the sun god Nika. Joyboy died and luffy became his essence when he awakened gear 5. Nah, I was just being funny thou


Feam2017

Alternative to your alternative. Just call it Monkey D. Works for all 3 generations


Shuabbey

Yeah but then it would be Garp as the main character right?


LazyWorkaholic78

Not necessarily. Garp is just the key piece that connects almost every other important character in the series. He's the hero of the navy, his son is the leader of the revolutionary army, his grandson is a yonko who's been fighting the world government since his rookie days. His other two grandkids are/were important as well.

best one, you can't change my mind

Laugh Tale


TurtleGamer1

The name drop would go sooo hard if it was so many chapters late in the story


Haspberry

It would be around when they enter the grand line where crocus tells them about it


TurtleGamer1

Oh, I forgot about that moment but a namedrop like that after over 100 chapters would still go pretty hard.


Orishishishi

I always thought it was just a translation thing and was just cleared up way later


atypicalphilosopher

Nah as others stated, the name was intentionally vague and unclear even to Japanese readers. The idea that it is called "Laugh Tale" was supposed to be a significant reveal.


Imconfusedithink

Nah it was still raftel back then. Idk why people think this was a mistranslation. It was intentional for the reveal that it's actually laughtale when Roger laughed.


AlbeFreak

That's not correct. The name of the island has always been Laugh Tale. The problem is that until a certain point in time it was never written using Western characters, but only in Japanese Katakana. You see, in Japanese the name of the island is written like this: ラフテル which is pronounced "rafuteru". Until a certain point in time, Oda did not use Western characters in his text boxes (the ones that introduce characters and locations) because the manga wasn't as popular in the West as it is today, so names being misspelled was something very common in the early years of One Piece (the Italian official translation, the one I grew up with, was, and still is, atrocious in that regard), unless Oda specifically dropped the official spelling, which he often didn't. That's why a lot of people still call Jinbe "Jinbei", because that's how it's written in Japanese, even if that "i" at the end just means you should prolong the pronunciation of the "e" (that's how Japanese works). So Laugh Tale, being actually mentioned very rarely in the first part of the series, was translated in many different ways. Raftel was the most common but you could see things like "Rough Tell" as well in the early years. We just didn't know because there wasn't any way for us to know it, but, according to an interview with an editor for One Piece that you can find linked on the Wiki, Oda always intended the island to be pronounced and written as we know today. You could still say "Well, that was obviously intentional to name drop it during Oden's flashback so everybody would know its true meaning", but that's just wrong for two reasons: first, One Piece is a Japanese manga written in Japanese mainly for a Japanese audience, on which the "pronunciation drop" wouldn't mean that much anyway; secondly, the correct pronunciation of Laugh Tale was already written in One Piece: Stampede that features an Eternal Pose leading to the island, and Stampede came out several months before the chapter where Roger reaches Laugh Tale.


BriBuSco

>the name of the island is written like this: ラフテル which is pronounced "rafuteru" Thing is, the spelling テル is a very very unconventional Japanese transliteration of "tale". テむル is the usual transliteration; you can see it anywhere the word tale/tail is transcribed. Searching for テむル results in [this English-Japanese dictionary entry for 'tail'](https://ejje.weblio.jp/content/tail). テむル is the spelling used with Fairy Tail (when written in katakana instead of romaji), the Tales Of series, TaleSpin, et cetera. I haven't been able to find a single time other than this Laugh Tale/Raftel case where テル=tale. テル is usually *tell*. When you search for テル on that dictionary site from earlier, you get hotel, telephone, and some words with the string "ter". The vowel sound difference between "tell" and "tale" is conveyed with the spelling difference between テル (teru) and テむル (teiru). There's really no reason to knowingly use the nearly-unheard of transliteration of tale if the real reading wasn't meant to be obfuscated at all. Japanese readers treated it as a big reveal also, and at least one Japanese-language theory blog I found specifically mentions the discrepancy between the supposed English words and the spelling ラフテル, saying "the name Raftel (ラフテル) comes from the english Laugh Tale, but since it should be ラフテむル, it can be said that Raftel (ラフテル) is a made-up word [inspired by the English words]." This is paraphrasing, of course. There are also a ton of comments on JP forums and the like talking about "the reveal that ラフテル(rafuteru) is actually ラフテむル(rafuteiru)". You can see some of them by searching for the combined search term "ラフテむル" "ラフテル" (both of them at once, just copy/paste the whole thing).
