#ONEPIECE1196 - FULL SUMMARY (PART 2) --SANJI'S FLASHBACK TO HIS TRAINING IN KAMABAKKA KINGDOM BEGINS-- [We see a stage where Sanji stands over a defeated opponent, with Ivankov and the other okamas watching from below.] --Kamabakka Kingdom-- Okama: Kyah!!! Oh no... I've lost...!!! ♡ Okama: Kyah~! ♡ Sanji-kyun wins!!! Okama: That was close... Clara! ♡ Sanji: Im taking it... your Vital Recipe*! [Refresher: This refers to the 99 Vital Recipes, also known as Attack Cuisine, a secret collection of 99 nutritious dishes native to the Kamabakka Kingdom on Momoiro Island. Each recipe is guarded by one of the 99 Newkama Kenpo Masters.] Okama: Ugh… I really wanted to put him in… a Sweets Dress…!! Ivankov: ...!! [The scene cuts to a room where Sanji is sitting on a bed. Ivankov is inside the room, while the okamas peek through a nearby window.] Sanji: Why the hell do I have to rest for two whole weeks?! These injuries are no big deal!! I can still fight!! Ivankov: Listen to what you're told!! I'm your master (teacher)! Sanji: Like hell you are!!! Ivankov: Nobody here's gonna attack an injured person while they're sleeping!! Sanji: That better be true...!!! [Sanji looks toward the window, where the okamas are staring at him “hungrily,” LMAOOOOO!] Ivankov: Sanji-boy, what was that fight just now?! You won, but you're covered in injuries!! Even Clara, who lost, has fewer wounds than you! Your last 30 fights have all been like this!! It's making me worry...!! [TL NOTE: Of course, Iva speaks with Iva's own unique speech quirk here, but I won't try to replicate it in my translation. I'll leave that to those scanlation teams and the Official VIZ transaltion. LOL] Sanji: I'm winning all of them!! You've got no complaints, right?! Ivankov: I'm telling you not to take hits you could've dodged!! Are you being reckless?! Or do you just not care what happens to you?! You charge in headfirst like a wild boar!! You mustn't rush through life and treat your own life so carelessly!! Sanji: Mind your own business!! Ivankov: As the saying goes, “Constant dripping wears away the stone”!! No matter how tough your body is, if you keep accumulating small wounds, it'll eventually break down. The carelessness of your “defense” reflects how little you value “yourself”!! Sanji: Don't talk like you know everything about me!! Ivankov: There's something my Candies have that you don't... What could thaaaat be?! Tell him, my darlings!! Okamas: Ahhh!! We know~!♡ Okamas: Yes!♡ It's...!! Ivankov and the Okamas: “SELF-LOVE!!!” Okama: Woooohhh!!! Okama: I love myself! ♡ Okama: I love myself more than anyone else in the whole world! ♡ Sanji: ...Well, I can see that clearly enough, but... Who cares about me?! I dedicate all my love to all the ladies!! Ivankov: NO~~~!!! Those who cannot love themselves... CAN NEVER LOVE OTHERS!!! Sanji: Stop messing with me!! I'm a man of love!! I'd gladly die for Nami-san and Robin-chan!!! Ivankov: I ain't sayin' that's a bad thing... But there's no worth in a love that longs for death!! Sanji: It's not like I'm looking to die... Ivankov: Love itself is “defense”!! Sanji remembers his childhood (a flashback memory within a flashback memory, LOL): Sanji's Siblings: You're a failure～～!! Vinsmoke Judge: Being your father is a disgrace. Sanji: Father!! I'm sorry for being born weak...!! [back to present, Kamabakka] Ivankov: ...I ain't interested in prying into someone else's past, but your love is covered in wounds!! Sanji: Shut up!! My past means nothing!! As long as I win, that's all that matters!! Ivankov: —Keep tellin' yourself that. If you keep repeating these reckless andcareless victories... Someday, you'll reach your “limit” and be unable to save the very people you want to protect!!! Even I... have a man I'd risk my life to protect!! I'll protect him to the very end, but what about you? Sanji: Of course I can do that too!! [Back to the present, Elbaph] [Sanji lies in a heap of rubble as his thoughts race through his mind.] Sanji: I've already settled things with Germa!! I'm not the same person I was back then!! As for my worth... they're* the ones who gave it to me!!! [Of course, Sanji is referring to his nakamas, the Straw Hat Pirates.] He remembers Luffy, Usopp and Chopper: Sanji's food is the best!!! Sanji: In this day and age, there are countless people living shitty lives!! I'm not going to drown in my own misery!! But... Maybe today really is the day I've reached that "limit" you were talking about... Iva...!! Can I really get stronger just by bolstering my defense?! I need “power” right here, right now!! And you're telling me to “take care of myself”?! Hey, Iva... I... [Suddenly, Killingham reverts to his normal hybrid Zoan form, and the Ivankov MMA disappears.] Killingham: What the...?! The thing that guy fears...!! It's gone!!! [Sanji got up and sits on the rooftop of one of the giants' houses, lights a cigarette, and looks down at Killingham.] Sanji: ...You won't land another hit on me...!! Killingham: Huh? Is that so?! Sanji: I don't give a damn if you're a Celestial Dragon or whatever...! Coming into the country of our benefactors and talking down to everyone from your high horse is seriously pissing me off!! Killingham: Oh...? You're being rebellious, Sanji~~~! You lowly...— Sanji: I SAID STOP ACTING SO HIGH AND MIGHTY, HORSE-MAN*!!! End Note: ☆ He finally found his path!! [Translation Note: Sanji's tone here is extremely condescending, much like when he pretended to insult Luffy during the Whole Cake Island Arc, in the scene involving the Germa 66 carriage. This time, however, his condescending attitude towards Killingham is REAL.] END OF CHAPTER. BREAK NEXT WEEK.

#ONEPIECE1196 - FULL SUMMARY (PART 1) One Piece Chapter 1196: “There’s No Worth in a Love That Longs for Death” Cover Page Request: "Vegapunks - Lilith and Edison doing boxercise (boxing excercise) with a kangaroo and its joey while wearing sweatshirts" --SANJI VS. KILLINGHAM-- Beginning Note: ☆Sanji vs. Saint Killingham! What lies in Sanji's past...?! [The chapter begins with Sanji making a strained face as he tries hard not to remember his past in the Kamabakka Kingdom. (He kinda looks like a Baki character here, LOL.) 😂] Sanji: Don't come out……!!! I never want to remember those days ever again!! Keep your composure!! If I let my mental defenses down, its all over!! [*POOF!* (The memory fades just like when you switch off a TV)] Sanji: Alright!! It's gone!! Never come back out!! Must keep those hellish days locked away...!! [But all of a sudden, Ivankov reappears in his mind, and Sanji completely remembers Iva's big face, LMAO.] Ivankov: PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER~~~!!! [Sanji screams, not in pain, but because he remembered Iva, LOL] Sanji: AHHHHHHH~~~!!! UWAAAAHHHH~~~!!! Killingham: Huhhhh~?! Oh...!! That's right!! It hurts, right?! Wahaha! For a chef... those arms are indispensable!!! Sanji: STOOOOPPPP~~~!!! Killingham: I won't stop, you fool!! This is for splitting me into pieces over and over again!! Should I go for the arms? Or maybe go for the legs so you can't use those kicking techniques of yours anymo-...?! Sanji: HUH?! Killingham: Hm?! ]Sanji pushes himself up, breaks free of Killingham's spear, and launches a spinning kick at him.] Sanji: I WASN'T TALKING... TO YOU!!! [Sanji delivers a powerful kick between Killingham's Kirin front legs, launching him into the air.] Killingham: GUOOHHH!! Sanji: Huff... Huff... Ugh...!! Killingham: Cough... Damn it… Now you've really pissed me off…!! Hey, Longinus…!! No matter how invincible I am, even I can only take so much of getting beaten up…!! I'm starting to lose my pati-… GAHH!!! [Killingham doesn't get to finish his sentence because Sanji kicks him in the face, LOL.] Killingham: UWOOOOHHH~!!! [Killingham counters by headbutting Sanji, then spins his spear as the two trade blows once again.] Killingham: I'm telling you I'm about to snap, you lowly commoner!! Look at you!! You're only wearing yourself out, while I regenerate and remain as good as new!! That's the reality of this situation!!! Picture what you'll look like five minutes from now...!! Now picture what I'll look like!! [Killingham begins to mock Sanji again.] Killingham: Go beg your captain for help!! Tell him: “I couldn't defeat that Knight of God because I don't have Conqueror's Haki”!!! *Flashback to WCI Arc* Luffy: ...You'd better return no matter what, Sanji!! Without you...!! I... can't become the Pirate King!!!! [back to reality] Sanji: ...How can I say I couldn't do anything?! My captain is... counting on me!!! [Sanji tries to kick Killingham in the face again, but Killingham blocks the attack with his spear.] Killingham: Don't worry! There are countless people in this world who fail to live up to expectations!! and you're just one of them!! *Flashback to his childhood past* Vinsmoke Judge: You have no talent!! [back to reality] [Killingham puts his hand in front of Sanji's forehead and pushes something out from it.] Killingham: “DREAM OUTPUT”!! (A-UTOUTO-PUTTO)* Come forth!! [Translation Note: “夢出力” (Dream Output) The technique's kanji, "夢出力," literally means “Dream Output,” but its furigana reading, 「アうとうとプット」, is a wordplay combining “OUTPUT” (アウトプット) with utouto (うとうと), the Japanese onomatopoeia for dozing off or being drowsy.] [Sanji's face looks sleepy, but suddenly, he snaps out of it.] Sanji: Huh...?! WHOA!! That was close!! I was getting sleepy!! Killingham: This is the inhabitant of your nightmare!! Sanji: Hm? Killingham: The thing you're afraid of!! INTRO BOX: WHAT SANJI IS AFRAID OF: [Queen of the Kamabakka Kingdom] EMPORIO IVANKOV [Turns out, it's the MMA “thing you're afraid of,” just like what the schoolchildren of Elbaph drew in the early stages of the Elbaph Arc.] Sanji: IVA?! Killingham: WAHAHA!! I don't know who this is, but... is this not what you expected?! That's what they call the subconscious mind!! All right, come forth!! MMA!!! (SLEEPTID!!) Sanji: Why is it “Iva”...?! Why not those Germa scumbags…?! [Sanji remembers Judge and Ichiji] Killingham: This is where dreams and reality intersect!! TRANCE*!!! [Translation Note: The technique's kanji is 夢現 — Yumeutsutsu, literal meaning: “Dream and Reality”] [Killingham fuses with the Ivankov MMA. The resulting monstrosity has Killingham's head transformed into Ivankov's face, complete with Dragon-like nose tendrils. It kind of resembles the “What If” drawing from One Piece SBS Volume 108, which depicts Ivankov eating the Azure Dragon Devil Fruit instead of Kaido. His Kirin legs are wearing fishnet stockings, just like Ivankov, LOL] Sanji: *IVANKOV!* Killingham: I don't know who the heck this is, but...!! This is the “Nightmare” you never wanted to see!! Sanji (thoughts to himself): The reason I'm afraid of you is...! Because you... saw right through my “weakness”!! Killingham: Wahahaha!! Be afraid!! Tremble in fear, Sanji~~~!!! “LOG OUT~~~”* [TL Note: The kanji for the technique is 「退場」, meaning “to leave,” “to exit,” or “walk out,” but the furigana is ログアうとうと - ROGUAUTOUTO, combining 「ログア」 from 「ログアウト」 (“LOG OUT”) with 「うとうと」 (utouto), the Japanese onomatopoeia for dozing off.] Killingham: MULE KICK!!! [Killingham spins around and delivers a powerful back kick to Sanji with his Kirin legs. Sanji is sent flying, his eyes turning white. Suddenly, he begins to recall his past during the two-year timeskip in the Kamabakka Kingdom.] Ivankov's voice echoes in Sanji's mind: "There’s no worth... in a love that longs for death!!" [Sanji's flashback memory begins.] To be continued in the next post — FULL SUMMARY (PART 2)
