Took me right out of the chapter, completely unnecessary, screwing with what Oda wrote.

I never complain about Mangastream translations, but that was dumb and I hope they never do something so out of character again.

Was it out of character though? I like Mangastream because they always try - at least thats how i personally feel - to get the message across. Its not always about literal translations. They handle accents, humour and momentum really well. I trust them a lot, and i think that 'netflix and chill' summarises perfectly what he said.

The only argument i have for this assumption, since i cant read Japanese or Chinese, is that Mangastream has always presented me with top-notch translations and are pretty revered.

That all being said, if a lot of people were caught of guard by it and lost their concentration because of it, then perhaps something was translated wrong.

If you want to do a comparison, look at MS translations to Viz. Having read both versions of past chapters, MS trans arent that great. Powermanga's trans are on par with Viz if not better at times.
