That's what you get when you base the English manga on the English version of the anime. Viz is so intent on matching the names with the English anime, so no one will be confused. ("Yu-Gi-Oh" is the exception, where the names in the manga are original.)
In the case of the "One Piece", everything was smooth sailing (pun intended), until Viz decided to rename Zoro as "Zolo", without any explanation, just to match the Fox Box anime.
