News One Piece: Vivre Card (Data book)-Discussion Thread

The funny thing about this Guernika/CP0 discussion is that his card says he came from CP9, isn't Lucci the strongest CP9 ever? And then him and Kaku grew significantly stronger and are now masked CP0 agents. Doesn't this prove that CP0 Guernica is weaker than pts Lucci? :crazwhat:
 
I mean it's quite fucking clear it's just re-iterating what's in the manga. Artur posts that himself. They introduced CP0 as the "World's Strongest" whatever.

So whether it's the translation or the original wording, there is some fuck up.
The manga already said "guernika is one of the best agents" key "one of"
Vc shows all 3 of them then the text about strongest agency shit

Facts
 
The issue is where the "no"/の is placed that denotes possession ("of"/"'s") in English. Usually titles are

世界最強 = Sekai Saikyo/World's Strongest {insert thing}.

- 世界最強剣士
- 世界最強


Here it's including the "special" before the の.

- 世界最強特級エージェント

I don't know enough Japanese to make a distinction though, but common sense really pushes me towards the narrative that this is some fuck up somewhere. (Either in the VC wording or the translations by fans)

I really think they were trying to say an agent OF the world's strongest special/agency.
Context makes it clear by directly relaxing the words with an image... an image of not Guernika... but Guernika, Maha, and another CP0 agent
Making it clear that the words refer to CP0 as a whole



Japanese doesn't have clear plural like English, so you need context
And context is very clear here

Not as factual as this tho.

These mfs were promoted from CP9 to CP0 while being weaker than the strongest CP9 in history meaning they're actually between CP0 Blueno and pts Lucci. :risitameh:

I think it proves CP9 Lucci was stronger than CP9 Guernica, just like CP0 Lucci is stronger than CP0 Guernica.

He wasn't "pre-TS villain" level on Onigashima.

Pts characters are stronger than we thought.
Both Lucci and Guernica were CP9 agents, Guernica is 12 years older and was promoted while not being nearly as strong as Lucci was during his CP9 career.
It's a fact that CP0 Guernica would lose to CP9 Lucci. :jordanmf:


There's also this
Question : Hello, Oda! I wrote this letter from France, and I wanted to know how the members of CP9 got promoted into CP0. I wish you good luck!

Oda : Ok, because of the translation, the Japanese got weird, so I just put the message as is. Firstly, let's talk abou the CP9, who were defeated at Enies Lobby. They CP9 members appeared in the Cover Story Series - CP9's Independent Report, in which they were blamed by their chief, Spandam, with the "Sin of Mission Failure", in which they decided to vanish somewhere else.

That's how their training to get stronger started. On the other hand, for some reason, due to the authority of Spandine, Spandam's father, he got promoted as Chief of CP0! From here, Lucci and the others uncovered the "Invasion Crime" plot that the underworld bigshot and former Level 6 prisoners were scheming with Spandine and crushed those organizations to prevent it.

After that Incident, Lucci and the others were reinstated as agents of CP0. Spandine is on his sickbed and lost all his authority, and Spandam became Lucci's underling.
They canonically trained to get stronger before getting into CP0.

Not necessarily.

We don't know how long Go stayed in CP9.

If he was recruited into CP0 pretty early into his cp9 career, his cp9 version would not have been close to his full potential. So, Lucci who had been with cp9 for two decades would still be the strongest cp9 member ever.

I've had another Japanese speaker tell me "world's strongest special agent" as well. I've only seen Artur and twitter folks saying that it's a reference to CP-0

The context was very unclear.
Having the "tokkyū" before the "no" change everything because that doesn't mean "sekai saikyo no tokkyu ejento" anymore but "sekai saikyo tokkyu no ejento".

But even like this, it still implies Guernika is the strongest because that means in english "the strongest special agent in the world". Because you have to cut the sentence in 2 parts : [sekai saikyo] -> world's strongest and [tokkyū no ejento] -> special agent.

But as said, the context was very unclear. If it didn't show just Guernika but it showed Guernika and his colleagues, it would rather mean "the strongest special agentS in the world". So no more only Guernika but indeed the agency in its entirety.

In the white box below the picture on Guernikas Vivre Card in the essence-box. Does it say, that all CP0 members (not just the known one from Enies Lobby), were former CP9 members? Guernika, Maha, Gismonda and Stussy, but everyone.
To become a CP0 agent, you must first go through CP9?
