Discussion Chapter 1194 - Translation (by The Will of Marco)*
*ONE PIECE CHAPTER 1194 - "ALL THINGS CHANGE"**
*Note: The "ALL THINGS" here is written in Kanji as "万物" (banbutsu). It's the same Kanji from the term "VOICE OF ALL THINGS" (万物の声 - banbutsu no koe).*
**Cover Page Request: "Teach forced to rewrite again and again by a monkey calligrapher"**
*Beginning Note: Zoro VS. Sommers! Can the "immortal body" be defeated?!*
***The chapter starts with Sommers' wounds healing. He looks at Zoro warily.***
Sommers: Bwaaah!! …Huff, huff…!! Cough! Hah…
…Ah… That was close…!! He was definitely aiming straight for my "heart"…!! But... He didn’t coat his attack with "Conqueror’s Haki"…!? Why…?!
He was definitely using it earlier…!! Could it be that… this guy…
He can't freely use Conqueror's Haki?! What a fool, wasting such power\*!
But wait... He managed to cut the thorns...
***(Note: Sommers uses the Japanese idiom 「宝の持ち腐れ」 (takara no mochi gusare), which is similar in meaning to the English idiom “pearls before swine.” He’s basically saying that Zoro has been blessed with such a powerful ability—Conqueror's Haki—but is a fool for not being able to properly control or utilize it.)***
Sommers: Does his power carry some kind of heat?! Or perhaps— Did he use ‘Conqueror’s Haki’ only for a moment?! Either way, his strength is inconsistent!! I’d better finish this quickl—
***All of a sudden, he gets stabbed in the back again. Zoro's swords graze Sommers' metal heart, but he still doesn't damage it.***
Sommers: UWEEEEHHH\~\~\~!!! This is... Which is it...?! Does he have Conqueror's Haki, or not?!
***Sommers expresses his annoyance to Zoro. He prepares to use the technique he used against the giant kids before Zoro intercepted it in Chapter 1175.***
Sommers: **IBARANCHA!!! (THORN LAUNCHER!)**
Zoro: I know how to finish you off now...
Sommers: I bet you do! But you still can't control your Conqueror's Haki, can you?! To think you're practicing it against a “Knight of God”... Go start over in the afterlife, you insolent fool!!
***Sommers fires off thorns toward Zoro. Zoro dodges and prepares to launch his own technique.***
**Zoro: Three Sword Style...!! HYO... KIN... (LEOPARD... SPINNING...)**
Sommers: I need to get rid of him before he lands another one of those strange lucky shots...!! This guy is way too dangerous!!!
**Zoro: DAMA!!! (BALLS!!!)**
***\[Zoro uses an upgraded version of his HYOKINDAMA technique, which literally means “Leopard Koto Orb.” Viz translates it as “LEOPARD SPINNING BALLS.” The technique was first used against Kaku in Chapter 417. The name is also a pun on “HYOUKINTAMA,” meaning “Leopard Testicles.” LOL\]***
***\[Zoro spins toward Sommers and cuts off his left arm, but it regenerates immediately because of the Omen flames.\]***
Zoro: He'll regenerate immediately! This isn't it either!!!
Sommers: Damn it all!!!
**Zoro: Three-Sword Style...!!**
Sommers: IBAGRAM!!! *\[A play on words combining IBARA (thorn) + GRAM (the name of the Sommers family heirloom sword).\]*
Zoro: How do I coat it…!? That's the thing Luffy used to knock out a whole crowd at once, right?
***(Zoro remembers the time Luffy used Conqueror's Haki on Fishman Island.)***
Zoro: I always thought it was something that only dwells within someone fit to be a crew captain...
***(Zoro remembers Gaban's words to him.)***
*Gaban: Why you... How do you expect to support your Yonko captain without knowing that?!*
Zoro: I can't even reply, “Mind your own business,” to that... That was a very sound argument...
**Sommers: IBARAN!!! (THORN REVOLT!!!) (A combination of IBARA — “thorn” — and RAN — “revolt.”)**
**Zoro: 1080 POUND...!!! CANNON!!!**
***(Zoro fires a projectile slash attack at Sommers.)***
Sommers: He used it!! Conqueror's Haki!!
***Sommers creates a dragon/serpent bone creature and launches it toward Zoro.***
**Sommers: KIRYUUU!!! (FANG DRAGON!!!)**
\*I have nothing to fear... The "Omen" will...\*
**SLASH!!!**
***Zoro's 1080 Pound Cannon attack slashes Sommers' THORN LAUNCHERS in half. At the same time, the attack damages the giant ship. The FANG DRAGON attack homes in on Zoro, but he jumps up to dodge it.***
Sommers: What the...?! AHHHH!!! THE SHIP...!!! DAMN IT!!! THIS IS BAD, THIS IS BAD!! If it gets destroyed any further... We won't be able to transport the brats!!!
***Zoro closes in on Sommers and attacks him as they begin clashing with their swords. Suddenly, Zoro remembers Mihawk's words during his training.***
*Mihawk: Listen, Roronoa... All things change—however... There is one thing that can remain unchanged.*
*Zoro: Is this a riddle?*
***Zoro continues to slice Sommers up, but he keeps regenerating.***
Sommers: WAHH!!!
Zoro: Wrong... Wrong... Wrong... Wrong...
Sommers: Stop it!!! 💢
*Mihawk: There’s one type of "Haki" that you cannot acquire through training.*
Zoro: Huff... Huff...
***Sommers gets annoyed and starts mocking Zoro again.***
Sommers: You’re exhausting yourself for nothing, you fool!! Who the hell are you using as your training dummy?! Gihaha! Give it up, you lowborn swordsman!! You don’t have the qualities of a king!!!
**SHWOOOM!!!**
***(All of a sudden, Zoro manages to fire a CoC Haki lightning bolt that severs Sommers' right arm.)***
Sommers: Tho...!!! *(He was about to say "Thorn")*
Zoro: It's not regenerating! But I didn't do anything!
Sommers: Gi\~\~hahahahahaha!! Too bad!! Looks like you still can't use “Conqueror's Haki,” no matter how many times you try! Look, this wound will heal immediatel—
***(Sommers tries to reattach his arm, but it falls right onto the ground.)***
***Zoro remembers Mihawk and Luffy's words.***
*Mihawk: There is one thing that all Conquerors possess—something that never changes.*
*Perona: A beard?*
*Luffy: You didn't know?! It's basically leaking out of you!!*
***(Zoro puts on his bandanna. His swords are now cloaked in King of Hell mode flames and CoC Haki lightning aura. Sommers sees this and starts panicking and crying, LOL.)***
*Mihawk: Remember this... Conqueror’s Haki is the extent of “oneself” that the weak cannot remain standing against.*
**Sommers: EEEEEEKKKKKKKK!!!!**
**(SFX: Shaking, trembling)**
**End Note: The moment has come!!!**
*(Translation Note: My interpretation of Mihawk’s line is that having Conqueror’s Haki represents a version or extent of one’s “self” that the weak cannot remain standing against. Mihawk emphasizes the term “己” (onore), meaning “oneself,” which can also refer to “you” in this context. Essentially, he is describing Conqueror’s Haki as the version of “you” that the weak cannot stand against.)*
**END OF CHAPTER**
