Every edit and everything is terrible lol
Musician of the ΩMEGA PIRATES:
Best filler match ever!!
Nami is a sly fox!
Next week the meteor destroys everything.
7 years later a boy staring at the sea.
Konohamaru's adventure begins.
They took out the Little Garden Arc. That is simply unforgivable. That and them not having Laboon.
Everything's Eventual...

I voted for everything. It's all bad and it should be burned with a very, very large fire! Other than the rubber knife and Kaya's magic chakram, I was also look for poison suction cups, cockney Shanks, french Mihawk and Lucky Roo's pop gun.
I found a few videos too:

Here are a few more 4piece gems:

I did find one more video on what Skypiea and the character voices would have sounded like if 4kids had held on to the license. However, I'm putting a WARNING on this video. It's almost 10 min. long and the puns... o god the puns... and after watching you'll probably want to blow your brains out, I know I did.
Well here it is and as Blackbeard sayz "Keep on truckin'!" (seriously, he f*ckin' says it at 3:57):

As Outerspec stated above, the 4Kids version skipped Little Garden completely. The crew went straight from "Misty" Peak to Drum...
No Broggy or Dorry, thus thoroughly ruining any chance that the Oimo/Kashii duo in Enies Lobby would have made sense, had they gotten that far.
No Mr. 3 or Ms. Goldenweek, though the former inexplicably was left in for his brief role in Alabasta...
Similarly, they also skipped the entirety of the Twin Capes portion with Crocus, Mr. 9 and Ms. Wednesday/Vivi (though obviously this pair resurfaced at "Misty" Peak), and turned Laboon into an iceberg...

Black tea really is best enjoyed with one's fellow monsters.
I've just witnessed the horrors of the 4Kids edits for the first time....
I'm scared that this stuff was released on public tv![]()

WARNING (Explicit Dialog)!!
I voted for alot, but my favourite is "Bellemere go to your room!"
I mean, you can't rob a bank by running around pointing at people. Unless...
FAST ANIMALS. SLOW CHILDREN.
Prostitution is Revolution. You can hate me after you pay me.

This I can understand, even if I don't like it personally. Having one of the main characters a smoker might encourage children to smoke.*
Hammertime!
This I cannot understand. It's a flintlock pistol. Most kids play with more realistic toy guns than this! It's stupid especially in place of an antiquated gun that fits the era the show is going for. That's like taking guns out of police or western cartoons. Or ray-guns out of space cartoons.
Bellemere! To your room at once!
Because Bellemere was poked to death, of course. How could I have missed that?! Idiots. Any child with half a brain knows that she didn't just disappear into nothingness because she was poked.
Fullmouth D. Luffy
Why? Seriously, is there a reason for this to be edited? If it's because it looks better (in their opinion) than having his mouth wide open, wrong!
White Magic.
Complete and utterly racist. How pathetic!
Captain Blueballs
Oh no! Buggy got kicked in the shin! Of course that'll stop his attack!
"Chaser" has a serious jaw dysfunction
Argh! Smoker smokes. It's part of his character description and his name, even if they did change it to Chaser. He still kept his smoking abilities, hence the reason smoke is coming from his mouth. Also, if they want to do the whole editing thing they should be consistent and not miss scenes... like they did. If you're going to do it, do it right.
Little Garden? Sounds boooring!
Granted, at the time they had no idea that this would come back to haunt them. The CP9 saga had either just began or wasn't started when they got to this point but still, as someone else said, this is not an anime where bits can be cut out without considering that they might come back to stab them in the face. The least they should have done was asked a Toei representative to ask Oda if that part was necessary or not. Or just kept it in. Especially considering how it affects Usopp's character development.
Kaya's got no gun!
I never saw the Usopp joining arc so I never got to see the magical chakram or Kaya's slingshot... thank God. It's ridiculous that they'd think a slingshot (or hammer... -_-;) would pose enough of a threat to someone like Kuro to use as a sort of bargaining chip. Especially in the hands of someone who hasn't used one before.
What's a "laboon"
And again, an important part cut out 'just because'. Especially a cute character that they could merchandise the hell out of. Bad business sense there, 4Kids.
Nico no cleavage Robin, Y'all!
Because no kid has ever seen breasts of any kind before. Especailly not on their teenage sisters or girls they go to school with. You know, because every girl in America covers their cleavage all the time... -_-;
Bring me your most expensive...WATER!
Again, an understandable edit, but if they're going to change it to grape juice, then change the colour... it doesn't make sense!
Watergun fun! Yay
I'm sure Crocodile lets all of his employees carry a weapon that could severely weaken him with an accidental misfire... NOT! Oh, and the Marines are soooo gonna catch a lot of pirates by squirting them with water. I could understand if all pirates were fruit users, or Crocodile, but considering that they didn't realise Croc was a bad guy... -_-; Again, it's not like they're carrying bloody machine guns or uzis or sawn-off shotguns to begin with anyway! Flintlock period weaponry shouldn't need to be edited. How hard is it to get your hands on one, let along use it properly.
Sanji's elegant voice
Now, don't get me wrong, I hatedTristanSanji's voice in the dub as much as the next person, but I can understand that they wanted to stick with someone they knew. I can understand, but it doesn't mean I liked.*
*WARNING: Rant.
I am Australian. What does this mean? It means I only saw One Piece when it was shown on my brothers Pay TV. The first episode I ever saw of OP was during the Alabasta arc - the filler with the sandship. My first thought was 'WTF is this? This is what passes for anime these days? Look at that animation. Pfft! Naruto is so much better than this shit!'. I dropped the idea of ever wanting anything to do with One Piece.
A few months after, I was surfing OneManga (before its reform) and managed to come across a recommendation thread. I'd caught up on Bleach and Naruto, read a bit of some other manga and was looking for something that would hold my interest. Someone had mentioned OP as an awesome read that was long and lots of fun. I was, of course, skeptical of this. Afterall, wasn't that the manga that anime with the weird animation and terrible characters with annoying voices based on? Never-the-less, I was bored and decided, why not give it a go?
I have since given up on reading Bleach, I still keep track of Naruto, but my only manga love is One Piece. It is the only one I read seriously, religiously and I can say that I might not be here today if it weren't for this manga. Now, I know that sounds very melodramatic, but I'm going to share something very personal today.
A few years ago, I was very suicidal. I still have bad days but not as bad as I once was. Back then I was desperate for anything to make me hold on one more day. I knew feeling that way was - not stupid or anything, but not right, either. So I was very desperate. It was thanks to OP that I managed to hold on. Every time I thought 'let this be over', I remembered that I still hadn't found out what was wrong with Robin, or what would happen to the Mugiwara's without their shadows, or how they were going to save Caimie, or if Luffy would be able to find Ace or escape Impel Down. It gave me a reason to want to wait another week, just one more (mind you, waiting extra weeks when Oda was sick or taking time off were especially torture-some, but I managed to get by, re-reading the manga or watching the subbed anime). And I think back now and wonder at just how close I was to doing something very, very stupid. If I hadn't picked up OP I don't think I'd still be alive today. Naruto is fine, but it doesn't draw me in. D.GrayMan is okay, but I don't care about the characters that much. FMA is great but it's not as charming and engaging.
I love OP and I think I always will. And because of 4kids stupid dub I nearly passed it over completely.
I've heard a rumor that the removal of Little Garden and Laboon is so they could get to Chopper quicker, and sell more merchandise and shit.
Is that true?
