This is the "Total Death Avoidance" Release.



A scanlation from time to time to avoid becoming totally inactive... and therefore totally dead.

The download link:


Motivating the troops is tough after slacking for so long....

So much for playing possum...

ZEHAAAAAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!

and now a moment of silence for Portgas D. Ace...

.....

.....

.....

okay then, scanlation download link:



Something I noticed while working on this chapter.
Ace's attacks follow a certain pattern:

Hitarubi Hidaruma

Shinka Shinarui

Juu Jika

(Dai) Enkai Entei

The attack names are all composed of 2 phrases and they rhyme with each other. Methinks it be a sort of Japanese wordplay or even some kind of flowery way of speech.
Nifty.

well Cross Epoch is a crossover DragonBall X One Piece. Characters from both series partake in a mini story which is not necessarily related to the mains storyline of either series.

Akira Toriyama and Eiichiro Oda met up one day and decided to create this fine piece of manga.
It's nice to see Toriyama's drawing style again. Although I must admit that it feels a bit out of date.

For those who do not know of Akira Toriyama or Dragon Ball, SHAME ON THEE!
Dragon Ball was one of the more enjoyable mangas in the late 80's to early 90's. Since the series is so popular, it has been widely published internationally and you shouldn't find it too difficult to buy some copies(unless you live in a backwater country)

With this manga , Oda is probably realising one of his wishes. He is after all known to be a great Toriyama fan

We managed to do this release thanks to NJT back at mangahelpers.com. If it wasn't for his translation, we'd have nothing to work with.

NBST may be currently dead. but So am I. and a long time before. So this sould be kind of a comeback from the grave without really leaving it.

Anyways, that would be first NBST release since this site was became fully operational...

I'm discovering old things in a new context. Like Shish Kebab. awesome.

will update a bit later with translation notes.
