General & Others The official translator of Brazilian Manga Plus has just exposed Stephen Paul, the translator...
Yes, I always knew there was something wrong with these horrible translations of One Piece, and I feared that they were not conveying the story that the author Eiichiro Oda wants to tell us readers with complete clarity...
The chaos begins when it comes to translations related to Kaido, for which I made sure to seek out Japanese teachers for clarification, and in doing so, I proved that the translations were wrong. But that wasn't enough for me; I needed something more. So, I reached out to the official One Piece translator who holds the same position as Stephen Paul.

He is responsible for translating the digital version of One Piece on Manga Plus. The physical version is done by Panini, the Panini Group, or simply Panini, an Italian publishing group that produces comics and animated videos, with a focus on the European market and branches in Brazil, France, the UK, Germany, Spain, Argentina, and Hungary.
The only difference is that Stephen Paul translates both the physical and digital versions.
In fact, Roberto Rodrigues participated in a podcast with Stephen Paul, in which both are referred to as the Shonen Jump translators.
It was Roberto Rodrigues himself who made a point of mentioning that he had participated in this podcast.

Alright, the stage of showing who clarified that the translations were wrong is over; it's literally one Manga Plus or Shonen Jump translator saying that the other is wrong...
What were the pages I clarified with the official One Piece translator?
1st: Zoro's page in Chapter 997, this is going to be a huge "L" for Zoro fans, honestly.
This is the page:
Official One Piece translator for Manga Plus and Shonen Jump: So, in regards to the first image, that's correct, I think it's a line from Zoro, and he says: "I've come to slash Kaido, the world's strongest!" There's no use of the term "man."
He says it's correct because I pointed out that the word "They say" doesn't exist.
Here, I ask him if there's "They say" in Zoro's sentence, and he responds, "There is no 'They say' for sure."
After that:
Roberto Rodrigues: The line is quite literal.
I ask him: What do you think I can describe Zoro's sentence as?
Roberto Rodrigues: I don't understand the confusion people have, but yes, incorrect translations complicate understanding a lot. Zoro's line is exactly what I said.
I ask: Honestly, do you mind if I use these messages to create a topic about the translation error?
Roberto Rodrigues: "I've come to slash Kaido, the world's strongest." Of course not, feel free.
The other set of messages was about the title of Kaido. I'll post only the messages:
Roberto Rodrigues said: "It's not a rumor; it's what's written. Don't worry."
Regarding those three panels, it's written: 1 - 「一対一でやるならカイドウだろう」口々に人は言う "People say that 'in a one a one, it's Kaido,'" in the sense of winning, triumphing.
2 - 陸海空息とし生けるすべてのもの達の中で "Among all creatures on land, sea, and sky, all living creatures in this case, this is the pirate called the 'strongest creature."
Roberto Rodrigues: I work for Comikey, an American publisher that happens to be responsible for the translation and editing of the Brazilian version of some Shueisha manga, specifically One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen, Spy Family, Boruto, Choujin X, and Chainsaw Man. My job is to coordinate the team that translates and edits all of these series, and in addition, I also translate One Piece.
As for Kaidou, I understand it, haha... The fandom often engages in heated debates about power levels, which can be quite confusing. It doesn't necessarily mean he's the strongest character in the work, but that's what was stated in those lines you sent me.

Oops, sorry for the delay.
So, in regards to the first image, that's correct, I think it's a line from Zoro, and he says: "I've come to slash Kaido, the world's strongest!"
There's no use of the term "man." In the one below, it would be nice to see the previous panels... But only in that one, it's written, "The pirate called (or known as) the 'strongest creature' 「最強の生物」."

Stop with nonsense already Kaido is not the strongest , he never was or will be he was just hyped as next villain , he got defeated he is gone now. We already were there with Whitebeard and even before. Stop taking those statements literally manga called Don Krieg as strongest in the world 4 times its manga fact Don Kreig > Kaido

Either way Kaido is said to be worlds strongest creature not human .
You literally compared Don kreig with Kaido , there is difference between self proclaim and mangaka personally a character in a panel.
Either way Kaido is said to be worlds strongest creature not human .
Either way Kaido is said to be worlds strongest creature not human .
Kaido said no one can defeat me , yet he got beaten 2 chapters later
Kaido is said to be strongest creature in history only to lose to Joyboy another creature

The anime adds a lot to the characters' lines, for example there is Kaidou saying that he challenged everyone until there was no one left for Luffy, although this doesn't even exist in the manga.
But as we said to Viz in the Brazilian, Italian and Spanish versions they translated it without using "They say", and not even the word "Man".
I asked the manga plus translator himself and he answered the same thing.
