#ONEPIECE1185 - FULL SUMMARY - PART 1 ONE PIECE CHAPTER 1185 - "LEAVE ME BE*" (HOTTOKINAHARE)
(TL NOTE: Just like the previous chapter titles, this one is a reference to one of Brook's songs in this chapter.)
Cover Page Request: 「"I want Luffy to eat it!" — Hancock, in the middle of intensive cooking training.」
The chapter begins with Reuven entrusting Brook to Candelle for proper etiquette training.
Reuven: Candelle, take Brook as your attendant and teach him courtesy and proper language.
Candelle: Yes, Lord Reuven!
*Brook and Candelle walks in the palace courtyard*
Brook: There sure are a lot of beauties around the royal palace~ A beauty, another beauty, skip that one*, and another beauty! (There are four women in the courtyard, they're all dmiring Lady Candelle, and Brook took notice of them. One of them was, well... kinda big, and Brook literally said "skip that one" when complimenting them LMFAO )
Candelle: Stop that... Brook: But Candelle is the number one beauty of them all!!!
Candelle: That's LADY Candelle... you're an attendant, remember? *Brook goes to one of the ladies*
Brook: Show me your panties* (TL NOTE: The way Brook said this was very rude. He said, "pantsu wo misete," which translates to "show me your panties." This was not his usual greeting now, which is "pantsu wo misete kudasai," which translates to "please show me your panties." While the latter is grammatically more polite and respectful, the essence of the message is still far from respectful towards the ladies, if you get what I mean. LMAO.)
Candelle: BROOK!!! *Candelle brings Brook to music school*
Candelle: You don't like wearing the uniform?
Brook: If I get institutionalized by the school, I won't be able to create great music! But one day, I would like to wear the convoy's clothes!
Convoy Member: I envy you!
Convoy Member: You get to be Lady Candelle's attendant!
Brook: Yohoho... *Brook and Candelle are practicing swordsmanship*
Brook: Candelle, don't you have a man that you like?
Candelle: Add the "Lady" there... I do but that person is someone far from my reach... That's why, so that I could be by his side as much as possible... I trained by the sword.
Brook: If you dressed more like a woman, I'm sure you'd catch his attention!
Candelle: There's no need. Just being by his side is enough...
Brook: By his "side"? Are you perhaps referring to... ...Me?
Candelle: NO!
Brook: Lady Candelle, are you wearing men’s underwear?
(TL NOTE: In Japanese, Brook uses “pantsu” here, but “pantsu” doesn’t only mean panties—it means "underwear" in general, including both men’s and women’s.)
Candelle: NO. Brook: What?! Then show me your panties!
Candelle: Brook!! You're nowhere near fixing how you speak... when you ask something of people, you need to use polite language properly!!!
Brook: Would it be acceptable if... you showed me your panties? *Brook gets smacked in the head, LOL*
Candelle: Obviously not! Before using polite language, you need tact and manners first! I'm going to beat proper conduct into you!! Good grief... "strength" and "politeness" must go hand in hand.
Brook: Huh? In that case, I'm gonna... I'm going to do my best!!! *Brook's childhood flashback ends*
Brook: Lady Candelle was admired by everyone... She’s like the “Sun of the Kingdom.” Come to think of it—there was one time when a “World Government” ship drifted ashore, and the country was thrown into a temporary uproar by an authority they had never seen before.
Shuri: A “Celestial Dragon”…?
Brook: Yes!! They were incredibly overbearing!! Perhaps due to the mental strain, Lady Candelle ended up bedridden for several months… And oh, how dark the mood of the citizens became back then!! Yohoho!! I shouldn’t laugh, but it was like the sun setting! But you see...!! The news that followed after that was amazing, Princess Shuri!! Your father, once affectionately known as the “boorish prince,” ascended the throne as king!! And at the same time, his marriage to your mother, Lady Candelle!!! Esperia was like a live concert venue and was engulfed in cheers!! And then you were born... Princess Shuri!!! (YEAH!) The country erupted with excitement!!
「Show us your face! ♡」
「So cute! ♡」
「A victory for the mother! ♡」
Ah! I got a bit off track, but… —That is why I absolutely love your parents!! I’d even throw my life away for those two!! They're my great benefactors!! Please listen to this: “Throwaway Rock” ♫
Shuri: Papa, Mama ♫ Papa, Mama ♫ Then, Brook... What if I were in danger?
Brook: Well, of course!! I would put my life on the line!!
Shuri: Because I'm Papa and Mama's daughter?
Brook: .....!! Because it's you!!
Shuri: Too slow!!! Say it from the heart!!!
*Shuri pouts. But Brook pacifies her by giving her a swirly lollipop. Then they begin sword training. After that, Shuri rides on Brook's shoulders. Shuri sees both of her parents.*
Shuri: Papa~!
Reuven: It should be "Father"! What are you, a kid?
Shuri: Father!!! I love you very much too~~~!
*King Reuven flushes and Queen Candelle smiles.* *A page is shown full of events of Brook and Shuri's daily lives*
Brook: Princess Shuri, when you want to become independent from your parents... How about you sing this song? Leave me beeee*~~~ (This is the chapter title - HOTTOKINAHARE*)
Shuri: Ahahaha, what kind of language is that?
Brook: It's a dialect from a country in the west called "KAMIGATA*" [TL NOTE: “Hottokinahare” is Kansai dialect meaning “leave me alone / leave it be.” Kamigata is an old term for the Kyoto–Osaka (Kansai) region in Japan, so the phrase reflects that regional speech style. Kansai dialect is known for its distinct endings and casual, expressive tone. The rest of the song is written in Kansai dialect.] Leave me beeeee~
