History
The Latin American Spanish dub of One Piece was broadcast on Cartoon Network LA in 2006-2008 and was based off of the 4Kids version, censorship, but kept very close to the Japanese script in terms of specific names or places (devil fruit is "Fruta del Diablo" and the marines are "la marina"). Oddly enough, when this dub aired on Televisa 5, it featured a dubbed version of "We Are" and "Memories" (as the CN version aired the Latino version of the 4kids rap) but still featured the 4Kids cuts. All 104 edited episodes from 4Kids Entertainment were broadcast in Latin America.
