Wait a second, was the nickname "Water Buffalo" mentioned in the manga? It's the first time I'm hearing of it. :blink:
Btw, I'd be greatly surprised if that one dude with the dreadlooks in the spread here isn't the last remaining commander. He just has a too awesome design to be fodder.
-
damm i gotta stop goin 2 da spoilers tread…
-
I love that gun-samurai-kindof-guy. o.o;
Is it just me or is the fact that Squad's head is burried beneath his arms a bit weird? I wonder if he's having inner moral quarrels with all this >:
-
i wouldn't be surprise if Blackbeard made a deal with Squardo
-
Was it pure betrayal, or is it Doflamingo again ?

Yes, when Doflamingo called out Atomos' name, he called him "Water Buffalo" Atomos. Chapter 556.
And I agree, I'd love to see the dude with Super Mario chomper as the final unrevealed division captain.

Go back to when DoFlamingo was controlling him. He called him "Water Buffolo" Atamos

Thanksorz. As always you are a big help. :happy:

Mentioned it in the spoiler thread, but might as well mention it here as well.
Theory:
What if Squad took out Whitebeard here so that the old man wouldn't get himself killed by rushing in? You know, similar to what Luffy did to that old mayor back in that town with Buggy? Squad was mentioning how important Whitebeard was before the stab sooo…Sacrifce many for the one?
-
Thanks for the raw! ^^

why is the translation / scanlation so shitty this time? Nothing makes sense..

That mayor was a hinderance…Whitebeard = World Strongest Man. This is an act of betrayal...no doubt about it.

I take it u mean teh Franky House? He rushed it..there will be a V.2 later on today.
-
Buggy is bringing us awesome things yet again! The "take 2" part cracked me up lol. And you gotta love "BUGGY. THE LEGENDARY." This clown's fucking epic!

Well that made sense with what Luffy did. He knocked him out so he won't be killed while that Squadguy stabbed Whitebeard in the guts which is an apropiate method to actually "kill" someone, not to save them from dying…

Buggy was so EPIC this chapter, that visual den den mushi scene could be one of the grates moments when it gets animated.
-
That last page, holy shit!!!!
I don't even know what to expect anymore -
Maybe next week it will turn out mr. Spider guy just stabbed a haki illusion.
-
translation is up and man what a chapter. just when u thought the war was to serious ."take two" buggy is a crazy bastard. he may be weak but gives us the comedy entertainnment we need since ussop isn't here.
-
@Usopp:
Maybe next week it will turn out mr. Spider guy just stabbed a haki illusion.
As long as it's air haki and not ice haki.
In all seriousness, I do see that as being possible, but I hope that Oda sticks with his "whatever-is-happening-means-something" way of going about things that he seems to have put in place since this arc began.
-
HOLY FUCKING SHIT.
Believe it or not, this is the first week I didn't read spoilers. And I'm treated to this. Sweet Jesus!
-
Did anybody else notice the little zoro duck on the cover?
-
Did anybody else notice the little zoro duck on the cover?
WTFLOL! Never noticed that one. It even had a katana on one wing and Zoro's signature mouth katana. ODA YOU FUNNY MAN YOU.
Nice find, thanks. -
Did anybody else notice the little zoro duck on the cover?
yes. it's adorable. btw, those aren't katanas, just weeds
-
-
Lol. I was picturing the same thing ^

-
yes. it's adorable. btw, those aren't katanas, just weeds
Oh yeah, lol. Well, you can call them "tiny" katanas.
@Al!naJames:
FUCK YEAH! Upgraded PX's are the shit!

What an Amazing chapter!! thanks for the raws and everything.
btw first time posting here.
Seems the marines are planning something else apart from the whole pacifista thingie. Speaking of which where is John Giant??He isnt a member of the Giant squad and seems to be missing since he gave a speech before the war. As far as i know that guy is stronger than most vice admirals coz he was in charge of the silver den den mushi during the buster call and seemed to have some authority over other VAs. -
Damn Squad's sword is really a bad-ass one…
-
It could just be another part of the advertisment for Strong World but is that line after the star with 11/20 be something about the anime? (hoping it's a new op).
-
@Al!naJames:
that's fucking great!!
i rarely frequent the chapter discussions, but I feel it was worth it this time
-
OK, Whitebeard got stabbed. I'm sure it hurts, but it doesn't mean shit. Luffy defeated Crocodile and Lucci with similar wounds…
-
i rarely frequent the chapter discussions, but I feel it was worth it this time
So you think you're better than us huh, we dont take kindly to elitist lizards around here yknow:ninja:

He better be a big-shot doing something big behind the scenes since the fighting started with so much info indicating high status.

hahahaha :DDDDDD
nice find hihihihi xDDD -
Fine make it 25 then, but honestly with ALL the greats you've been dreaming of seeing in action holed up on the same battlefield duking it out i dont see how anyone could care about what Nami is doing up there in that weather country, or if Usopp managed to get skinny again. Its simply not as awesome.
Ignore the ignoramuses! I really hope Oda spends the time to flesh out this war as it's meant to be done. You are correct, 25, 35 more. Heck, I'd be fine with this taking another year if Oda kept the pace and awesome that's currently being displayed. Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely interested in the SH reunion, but how long was this war foreshadowed and how awesome has it been so far. Keep it up Oda.

Thank you sir. You are too full of awesome. I think we should start calling you Awesomehige. Ok, that was terrible. I'll go in the corner now! :unsure:

Ah now Skitter, he ain't hurting nobody!

Pacifistas Halo jumping, blowing shit up, generally being unstoppable behemoths, as usual.
Hm, maybe it's just me, but I think Luffy should've been a bit worse off from Kizaru's light kick. Yeah, he's made of rubber, but I would imagine the cushioning effect wouldn't be much good against a blow that's supposed to be impossibly fast. Aw well.
I must admit, Buggy's plan turning out to be an attempt at self-promotion gave me much lulz. I'm really looking forward to seeing his inevitable bounty increase and being regarded as Emperor-level by the mistaken world…
...which shouldn't be too long from now, considering that Squardo just inserted a big-ass sword into Whitebeard's abdomen. Wonder what the story there is. Did he just snap, or was he always a plotting schemer? Either way, things are looking good for the World Government right now, the Legendary Buggy aside. Looking forward to next week.
-

It's not his. He probably picked it up somewhere. You can tell that by seeing that he has his sword around his waist (which is the same one he used in the attack several chapters ago).
-
So, we have:
1.- Marco
2.- Ace
3.- Joz
4.- Tach
5.- Vista
http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/562/10/
7 more here (Left to Right)
Smiley Fat, Bald Tilestone, Giant with ponytail, Kimono Gunman, Mr1+HeMan, Fishman, and sandersonia looking peterpan wanabee
10.- Kliel, Guy who is fighting with moria
Pocket Face
13.- Atmoshttp://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/553/08-09/
There is only one spot left, supossing that I am correct, and that Tatch hasn't been replaced. I hope for Commander Nurse to fill the last spot, but I guess that it will be the dredlock guy with a chainchomp weapon
-
When the fuck did Squadro come in? That would be gay if Oda kills off Whitebeard using some random character that nobody even knows. That sword probally only caused a scratch to WB though. Did Inazuma die or something because I haven't seen him since Luffy and friends left Impel Down?
@Fire Fist:
You'd rather have them fight the same villains over and over again or introduce a new villain to the mix? I dunno about you, but I'd prefer the latter. We've already seen what the rest can do, let's have someone new for a change.
This idea is so bad, I think it just gave me cancer. :wassat:
You're gonna have the strongest character in the manga be jobbed to a character introduced five chapters ago. Luckily, Oda knows what he's doing.
I think he just meant that it was nice that a relative unknown like Squardo stabbed WB rather than someone like Croc doing it, because now if Squardo survives the imminent DC rapestorm we now have a new villain to think about in Squardo. Fire Fist Ace is only talking about the stabbing not Squardo soloing WB as if WB is a jobber.
@Fire Fist:
If he has a good backstory and he gets plenty of development, yes, I'm perfectly fine with it. You seem to forget that Rayleigh (the pirate king's RIGHT HAND MAN) didn't get anything but a brief cameo in Buggy's flashback until halfway into this manga…
No, I don't think Shirohige is down for the count from a stab by an allied captain (albeit a New World one). That's just silly.
I pulled this out of the spoiler thread because I wanted to continue this discussion. Multiquoted in case anyone cares to catch up. Or cares!
If Croc was the one that front-backstabbed WB, then at least there was previously established motive, and we know Croc would doing something cunning to achieve it. I'm not saying that Squardo doesn't have a motive, but we currently don't know what it is. So this makes it worse for the reader. You can't just have character X show up and trump establish character "Whitebeard". This is why Lucci's character seemed so one-dimensional. Oda waited till the middle of the fight with Luffy to say, "OH!, btw, here's what makes Lucci the devious mind he really is". That's called a slap in the reader's face IMO.
I'm holding out on the premise that this will not be a serious injury to WB, and Squardo will get soundly dealt with at the start of the next chapter. If that isn't the case, then I have to wait to see how Oda will deal with the aftermath of the stabbing. There are just too many unknowns right now.
@FF Ace - Yes, Rayleigh is a great example. Nameless background character shown at the beginning of the story. What chapter was that, like chapter 20. Ok, we didn't know who he was, but later he's re-introduced as "The Pirate King's Right Hand" Dark King Rayleigh. We don't even need to see him do anything at this point. His character is established, and if he didn't deliver as being a kickass character, the audience (us, the readers) would be sorely disappointed if this didn't happen.
Now, we have some random New World Captain. Nothing is established about him at present. So having him deliver a critical blow to "The Strongest Man" is a horrible idea IMO, and that's why it doesn't sit well with me.Yeah, Haxeye gets it. Mihawk, Doflamingo, Teach, and Akainu are all established villains, but we need fresh people if the series is gonna continue for another ~500 chapters. Luffy just made friends with Shirohige and his crew; if this is the case, he's not gonna have many new people to fight in the New World.
??? :wassat: Luffy's not gonna have many new people to fight in the New World. We just got introduced to 43 New World Captains and their crews. I think there's plenty of space in the New world for Oda to establish plenty of opponents for Luffy. I'm not concerned about that at all.
All in all, I'd like to see what the strongest man can do, and I just hope this "stabbing" isn't a coup out to make us wonder just how "strong" WB would have been if he had not been injured.
Oh, forgot. While I'm definitely still no Buggy fan, I have to admit that his antics while still annoying were definitely funny.
.half a smile for him LOL! -
Just read the scanlation over at Manga Share. Loved the cover page! Straw Hat Robin, and Roranoa Duckling are too cute.
In the beginning I really thought the pirates had such a huge advantage, just by the looks of all of them. But so far they are taking the most beatings. The Pacifistas are out and it seems like the VA have done zilch so far except block cannon fire. It's like they are waiting on the side lines for everyone to be weakened then jump in fresh. Obviously they are doing something, but not like everyone else so far.
If the WG does win, maybe they will start setting up a base in the NW. Which would mean that we would still see big Marine faces from time to time and not just pirates running around.
I loved the fact that this unknown guy showed up for one of the biggest blows to White Beard. For one it is completely unexpected, I imagine it will be a familiar face who will take him down ultimately, but I think many of us assumed an established character would make the first real blow to Whitebeard. Just like that strange Rust Rust Fruit guy who popped in for a few panels and made such a drastic move against Zoro. When established guys do things we're like "yep thats the power of so and so" but when some random goon does something worth noting its like "woah who is this guy?".
It's that unpredictability of being in a war, no matter how great a fighter you are, lots of things come down to luck. Now this being a comic of course the top tiers will last and last forever. But at least so far we've seen one "random stray bullet" which was the Spider dude sticking that long sword through White Beard. Though in a few chapters when motives are revealed it won't seem so random any more. But even now it should be obvious he was just waiting for his chance to do this, what ever is back ground with White Beard may be.
-

Ha, yeah and it has no sense of direction, too!
-
A Traitor Amongst Them gasp
-
yay more captains revealed
-
The reason the war won't take long and Impel Down was rushed is because Oda is trying to pass on a certain sense of rushing because there is a time limit. So the war really can't last that much longer because Ace's execution was only hours away.
-
It's not his. He probably picked it up somewhere. You can tell that by seeing that he has his sword around his waist (which is the same one he used in the attack several chapters ago).
no you can't. For all we know he could have hid the big one (in the pocket guy? who knows). Who the hell would use a stranger's weapon to assasinate the strongest guy in the world?
