No. 31718
Some news on the scanlation front for the people that care.
Mangapanda sucked more than usual this time because they were using a translation of a chinese scanlation. It has since been replaced by a "proper" (I can't put enough " " around proper) scanlation so if you're a huge LE MEME FACE XD fan rest assured that everything is back to normal now.
Mangastream is just a bit tardy because of reasons, no need to panic.
However, the highest quality group, Mangarule, has disbanded after chapter 716. Their translator, CCC, is still doing translations but there isn't really a group that is actually using it for scanlation. There is a collection of their releases over at Batoto, but it's missing chapter 710. A chapter 710 using CCC's translation is available at this huge link: http://imgur.com/1GjS413,Ss6kJLI,m3QROjx,9x2tMMT,mm6Pbb9,VqW6sss,NWeXKg9,FXXuSPL,26yNyyi,3MlaD38,5gR5e4a,r8Eb3EX,IXiHLDD,JQNCtf8,c9G7dO4,5hDoBAa,qUL1U qh#0
Over at Batoto there seems to be a new release by a group called Powermanga. I don't know much about them but they seem have quite a few things going for them: 1. They only add a single credits page to the beginning. No pages of deviantart colorings or fanart. 2. Apparently their translator is CCC, contrary to what I've heard about him not being in a scanlation group. If it really is him then the translation quality should be better than MS and significantly better than MP. 3. There are no watermarks at all on the pages proper. The chapter is here: http://www.batoto.net/read/_/188837/one-piece_ch718_by_powermanga
What a weird week.
