I gave up on finding it in English and just read the Japanese one instead :3

Here's a comparison of the online title page and the Kanzenban version, as scanned by Hujio:

Well, I decided to get Chapters 4 and 5 in English. My rips aren't as high quality as SSJ Rambo's but they're not bad by any means (mainly the text gets a little bit blurry). So here ya go everyone:

Chapter 4 - http://www.mediafire.com/file/yzkqma44mju/Chapter4.rar

Chapter 5 - http://www.mediafire.com/file/dnlmd5iyywi/Chapter5.rar

Enjoy!

Note: I'll probably remove the links from here when their gone from the website (from the reasons SSJ Rambo mentioned previously in the topic), so get it while it's hot

Yeah, I need to re-scan that now that I have a better scanner. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks for doing these for me! And if you want to improve the quality of your images, it would be better to save them as a .png file. When simply doing images of text, .gif images usually look the best, but when color comes into play .png is the best (though technically .tif images are the best, but that's over the top and usually ends up being more of a problem than good).

Well, Jump took it down, so I did too. If there's any specific part you want, I'll give to you.

Yeah i dont know what the heck WSJ is doing but they take down older chapters after new ones are posted and orginaly they only released chapter 4 on the site in only japanese. This past week however they did finaly release chapter 4 along with chapter 5. Maybe they just dont have enough space on thier servers for all that manga. In that case Shueisha YOU NEED A BIGGER SERVER

Or they could be re-working them to suit VIZ's ideas. Who knows?

The Japanese chapters aren't actually taken down, they're just not linked to. anymore If you discover the very obvious URl, you can still catch 'em all.

Hey guys,

I need the English version of Chapter 02 and also the Title page of the English Version of chapter 03. Did anyone save these before they disappeared? Is so, could someone please send these to me? You can PM me or email me at mike_lubow@yahoo.com. I would really appreciate it.

Also I have all the other ones saved (including chapter 6) in both English and Japanese so if anyone needs one just send me a PM.

-Mike

Adamant · Post by **Adamant** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 8:33 pm

Chapter 6 is available, as is chapter 1 and 2 of One Piece.

Well, my computer crashed, so I'm not going to be able to take my page-by-page hi-res screenshots for a while, but I'm saving all of the .sva files, so that I can eventually get around to capturing them all.

Someone has my rip of chapter three in English, right? Just in case it isn't still saved online and in case for some reason the file-recovery process goes awry...

Mike · Post by **Mike** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 3:32 pm

Chapter 7 is now available in English and Japanese.

The sva files are timed, and can't be accessed after a certain time has passed. Also, they delete themselves once opened, but that can be worked around by zipping them.

I've been taking pictures, as well.

Speaking of which, here's a fun little edit I've noticed - additional detail made to naked Bulma:

Yeah, I noticed that, but luckily they don't seem to be taking them down, and there is unlimited downloads.

By the way, if anyone wants, I guess I'll start doing One Piece too (at least the first few chapters).

Thanks a million, kind sir!

I definitely feel your pain regarding your internet troubles. I have been having a hell of a time keeping a connection for the last week or so. Hopefully, that will be fixed in a few days. Best of luck to you as well!

^Surprisingly I didn't see a link to the manga anywhere on Shonen Jump's website and it probably wont be there till Friday. Kudos to the individual who managed to find it, also chapter 3 of One Piece has been posted. And I feel bad for anyone who has internet issues because let me tell you Comcast's so called "High Speed Internet" isnt really fast. There are some days its just as slow as dial up or DSL

It would be cool is Shueshia and Viz released it on PSP aswell since it will be recieving its own Comic Book store this year.

coinmanmat · Post by **coinmanmat** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 9:45 am

^That would be cool and I could see them possibly doing something like that.
