"Animal Kingdom Pirates"
For those wondering why Stephen chose Animal Kingdom Pirates, here is why he chose it.
According to Stephen Paul, the translator of One Piece for VIZ, "Animal Kingdom came from 'Hyaku-juu' which literally is the kanji for "hundred" and "animal" but it actually means 'all manner of beast/animal.' A common use of that is 'hyaku-juu no ou' which is 'king of the beasts' aka Lion. Kaidou's title is 'Hyaku-juu no Kaidou' so, given the implication, and the reference to him as the strongest creature alive, I called him 'Kaido, King of the Beasts.' As an analogue I decided to go with Animal Kingdom for his crew, since it's implied that he rules over them, and they obviously have a wide variety of animal-powers in the Gifters."

That being said, Mother Frame is an almost guaranteed revision. But we did have Reverie=Levely before.
You guys don't realize how lucky we are to have Stephen as translator
The official French translation got shit such as
-WB saying he was the one duelling with Mihawk and Shanks
-Akainu calling Gorosei "Puppets of Celestial Dragons"
-Zeff calling Mihawk the greatest swordsman of all time
-Brannew saying Shichibukai, Marine HQ and Yonko are all equal in power
-Brannew saying Shichibukai are obliged to have a STRONG FLEET
The list goes on and on.
