@Joe:
awesome chapter until the typical chapter ender from luffy. i was hoping someone else would've stopped the execution besides luffy this time.
Crocodile was Oda's way of acknowledging feelings like this before giving us the predictable save.

Looks like this type of Haki is very rare. And by the looks of it since everyone is so amazed, it might be more powerful than usual (ofc.. future pirate king).
It's great seeing Luffy keep doing stuff that everyone is amazed of. Hopefully he will understand that it was him this time.
Whitebeard has to die in this war or 1 day after it. If not, then when? untill he grows old or in another battle? this is the perfect place for him to die. Ace will feel bad and all the others, but WB dies for something. And it makes a perfect setting for when the SW visit Fishman Island, because that place was under his control, and when he dies, there will be chaos, and enter the Straw Hats. And further things will happen in New World because of his death. Or Ace becomes the captain and nothing changesā¦
There is only one thing I am wondering right now: if Marco is supposed to be able to recover from any attack and all that stuff, why is he bleeding from Kizaru's first attack?
I think he needs to focus on it, it's not automatic. He was shot while he was distracted and running to WB, so therefore he was shot. Or he just needs to be in bird mode.
If WB doesnt beat Akainu he doesnt deserve the title of the strongest.
He was strabbed by that Spider dude, he is highly weakend to fight Akainu at his full power.
Not to mention he was already ill, he's probably old as fuck, he got stabbed and blasted by those fuckhead marines, and he has a huge hole in his chest from Akainu's magma-hand (Ouch!)
**Whitebeard.
Best character in OP or best character ever?**

I wouldn't go that far, but he's certainly a badass for taking out a shitload of vice-admirals after being stabbed and shot in the balls after being stabbed through the abdomen a couple of times (including once with magma).
I'm pretty glad that the admirals are THAT strong, cuz with luffy defeating 2 shichibukais I started to worry. Very good chapter, can't wait for the next. Also, Luffy's punch to Coby was kick-ass!
I'm pretty sure he wasn't shot in the balls, just around his upper thigh/waist.
@ZeArmyOfHalen:

Speaking of his wounds, I think that gaping hole in WB's chest isn't the wound from Squardo but the one from Akainu's magma hand.
Yeah it's more likely from Akainu, maybe his hand just widened the hole.
I really hope Aokiji saying "Luffy must be using magic," is a mistranslation. Magic sounds really stupid in that context. And as much as I'd like to think that Aokiji called it magic because he doesn't know what haki is, that's just too unlikely.
Don't worry, it wasā¦.
It's just the translation. What he actually said was something like "Hey hey, you've got to be kidding me."
I think Luffy will catch up to WB next chapter and he'll say something to Luffy about the haki he just showed.
Wow this chapter was great!!!
Sengoku reaction to Luffy's haki was gold, next chapter there will be big revelations, i can feel it.
Question!!
When Hancock kick that PX head did it turn to a stone?
@ZeArmyOfHalen:

wouldn't suprise me if they were aiming for them. The Marines have never made a problem out of fighting dirty, Sengoku is the kind of guy who would use shooting a guy in the balls as a strategy if it's needed to defeat him.
Awesome chapter. Luffy finally uses Hockey and it's not a wave or anything, which is good. I like Aokiji's reaction "He must be using magic!". So apparently the Admirals can't use Hockey. There's almost no chance of it happening but Sengoku should just kill Ace himself, but he'll probably just stand there like a dumbass until Luffy reaches him. Luffy decking Coby was funny as well .
Whitebeard continues to be a badass, taking all those hits and just shrugging them off. Can't wait until the next chapter.
Merry Xmas everyone!!
I LOVE Hancock!! I hope that this "last adventure" as 17 year old means that he'll marry her xD!!
Not gonna happen. Oda already said no romance.

Aokiji did not say anything about magic. That was mistranslation , man i hope we don't have to go threw this again i still see people online saying boa can't control her haki.
Some times i just wish people would take time check over stuff they do or if that was done for purpose it one of worst translation to make.

**That line was translated bad from what I've heard. It's actually more of a "You can't be serious." Some guy on NF explained it, I'll find the link.
Though to say that the Admirals don't know about Haki is a pretty bold claim.**
@Kairouseki:
Not gonna happen. Oda already said no romance.
He also said no one is going to fly. You shouldn't take these kinda quotes super literally.
Hm, okay, bad trans. So he's actually saying "You can't be serious!", that actually makes more sense.
Great chapter; we're almost there! It's going to be a long wait for the next oneā¦D:
If you believe Hancock and Luffy are getting married you're a dumbass.
This was a good chap.
Oh I see.

**Good job ignoring everything in the manga.
I'm not saying Hancock is going to join the crew, become Luffy's girl and One Piece becomes a Shojo but a relationship between Luffy and Hancock is obviously going to happen sooner or later. Probably not in the way some people are imagining but still.**

If anything you just said leads to the two getting married my previous post stands stronger than ever.

You're still ignoring the manga. Do you have anything in the manga suggesting they won't eventually hook up?
Very good chapter. Kinda sad that it's just twelve pages. I am guessing next week there won't be a chapter with all the holidays right? Can anybody tell me when it's coming back?
That aside this chapte was full of great moments. I loved how Luffy acknowledged Coby and then just caved his face in. It's great to see that he respects his friend so much that he is not holding back
Hancock was awesome. It looked like she actually managed to damaage a Kuma with only one kick. Too bad they seemed to engage her with the two Kumas. I would have to see her fight side by side by Luffy. Especially Sengoku's reaction to seeing the betrayal of one of his own due to Strawhat
I wonder if we will see something actually badass from Marco. Like cutting off his own hand, regenerating the other wounds and actually starting to kick ass
Joz's arm doesn't look good but I hope it's just meant to throw us off and that Joz's will either fall or just simply smash his way out of the ice
Now I can't wait for the next chapter. I think it's about time the mariens lost some major points. I am seeign several possibilities
Garp defecting. This is a pretty far fetched one an if it happens I think it might happen later on. But gues it's possible even in the next chapter
Sengoku getting killed. I think this would work great actually. And really symbolise the end of an era with both Whitebeard and Sengoku getting killed. And with his death it's probably quite likely that Aikanu would take over prompting a whole new storm raining down on pirates. I think it would be especially fitting if Sengoku also died by a sneak attack. I would love to see Crocodile using the distractions to literally stab him in the back
Blackbeard coming up with his intricate plan. But for some reason I think that's evne less likely then Garp defecting at this time. Seems too predictable.
Dragon. I think he might be a wild card enough to work. Or maybe Kuma as connected to the rebels somehow has managed to corrupt somehow the programming and all the Pacifistas turn on the marines
But most of all altough I know it's extremely unlikely I want to see the Strawhats back and coming to fight for their captain. Sure they don't have a lot of powers but in this war of sneak attacks and chaos they might actually manage to make a difference
Whitebeard is a monster, marco is ultimately shit and luffy is the luckiest bastard to grace the face to the world. A typical chapter, no?

The Lady does seem to have taken a liking to him

Do you think they will? And doesn't Alvida also have the hots for Luffy? What about her?

**Yes, I think they will hook up. I don't think their relationship is going to play a big part in the series at all though (if any), at least not the romantic aspect of it. We'll probably have a scene of Luffy going to Amazon Lily near the end of the manga like how Roger went to visit Rogue.
And Aldiva wants Luffy dead. She has no romantic feelings for Luffy. That's just her personality.**

I'm not following you or anything, but where is all of this coming from? So far this has been no more than one-sided relationship. Luffy thinks of Hancock as nothing more than an invaluable friend. If that's all it takes to make a romantic relationship then I expect Luffy to shack up with the whole Strawhat crew, all of Galley-La, Vivi, Kaya, Wiper and Bentham's corpse.
Edit: Also, lets not forget the age gap here. Hancock is AT LEAST 27. If they get together that would make her even more creepy than she is now.
I don't see Dragon not taking the opportunity this war present to his cause. He might be just waiting for both sides to whack off each other before making his own move. I don't think he is that stupid to just pass up this kind of opportunity. He has been taking over island after island and country after country. And when this one in a million chance opportunity comes, do you think he will just say stand in his HQ and do nothing?

**It's only one-sided for the time being, partly because Luffy is an idiot and partly because turning OP into a soap opera would be retarded. Hancock and Luffy eventually getting together has been forshadowed too much for it to not happen.
She is the only character to have a serious crush on Luffy (or serious crush in general iirc), she has a disease involving her love for him, he is the future Pirate King and she is the Pirate Empress and she has helped Luffy countless times purely because she loves him.
Plus, do you seriously think Oda is using Hancock's love purely as a plot device that would explain him getting out of Amazon Lily unharmed, penetrate Impel Down's defenses and two (so far) instances in this war and then not so much as mention it at all?
Even Roger had a woman.**
This is all solved when Hancock dies.
Wow, it looks like Hancock took out one of the PX robots with a single kick. Pretty impressive.
Yeah, she tore half a Pacifista's head of. Considering it took all the SH to take one out that's pretty damn impressive.
This is all solved when Hancock dies.
Indeed.

This is Hancock's first time ever having a crush on a boy. She acting exactly how middle school girls do when they discover that they like boys. I acted like that in middle school.
I honestly can't take it seriously.
You know, I keep waiting for Ace's narcolepsy to kick in and for him to just pass out on the platform.

I think his stress is keeping him awake but that would be glorious. Preferably right after those handcuffs come and everyone's all FUCK YEAH WE GOT THE FIRE GUY BACK and then BAM! ZZZZZZZZZZ.
I have a feeling we've already had a chapter named "monster", weird huh..
anyways, thanks for the chapter! ^^
You're right, that's the name of chapter with the giant reflections of skypieans in it.
Anyway, this chapter is great. It's sad to see the commander fell down one by one but it's great for the war development. Whitebeard got stab by marines and then owned them back with one swing is just bad ass.
WB already gave up when they tried to execute Ace then Luffy saves him with hakiā¦ i think luffy have just given WB some more inspiration to go apeshit for one final push now!
WB + rookie with king haki VS Garp/Sengoku!

Haha, just thought this was funny.
I wonder where Ace's Narcolepsy has gone? We haven't seen it in awhile.

That's what I am hoping as well but to be fair for all we know Dragon could aleady be makign his move by pretty much taking everything in sight now that all elite forces have been withdrawn. We already know he took the bridge where Nico Robin was held captive so by the time this war is over the rebels might have very well expanded enournmously their influence over the world
holy shit jango is having a cardiac arrest!! lol jk
btw merry christmas to all!!
Brilliant directing of events by Oda. He let Luffy knocked down Coby earlier on so that he would be spared from the haki outburst. Truly brillaint, then he shows Jango being knocked down by it while preserving the integrity of Coby's will.
oh MERRY CHRISTMAS ^^ ..to those who celebrate and pretends to celebrate it ^^ā¦ XD
You're still ignoring the manga. Do you have anything in the manga suggesting they won't eventually hook up?
I find it ironic that you say I'm ignoring the manga when you apparently have no grasp of Luffy's character for 500+ chaps. There's nothing indicating that Luffy will return Hancock's feelings in anyway. Just because you think it will happen isn't enough to make my claim that it won't any less valid.
After reading your other posts on this topic my previous statement seems to already be a more than satisfactory claim.
Most of us knew that WB was going to die, but Jose and Marco? Shit.
As cliffhangers go, this isn't a terrible one to wait two long weeks for. Especially since a hakibomb was foreshadowed since Duval. Although, it would be nice to have a status report from Impel Down for a couple pages before rejoining The War.
My favorite part about this chapter is Sengoku's face. It looks like he knew, at that moment, he had the wrong brother up on the podium.
I got goosebump all over me when Epicbeard yell "I AM WHITEBEARD" ^^
Good chapter. And yeah, I hope we go back to 19+ pages in 2010. Merry XMAS all.
wow by the end of this chap we probably know what is the true meaning of this war when oda metion back in 552 "whoever win whoever lose this era wil end"
and its about time for the marine to take luffy as a seriously threat that land him as one of the top 10 all time international most wanted list/poster or something
p.s oda sensei please have a great holiday and come back with renew strength and inspire us even to a greater deeper height of your manga madness !
