Oh? So where are the anti-popularity poll nukes located?
We usualy keep em next to the nerve gas.

That was an awesome and sad chapter !
I wonder if it is a coincidence that Luffy and Nami are on the cover of this sad chapter. I think she will hug him when they will reunite. I am sure of it.

This reminded me of the manga "City Hunter" which was probably the origin of the dominant female beating up the male character for being an idiot despite being incredibly strong. They were obviously in love. Another proof of their pairings ? Is nami Luffy's strongest bond ?! [qimg]http://www.asso-chc.net/IMG/jpg/NickyLarson3-src43_jpg_BIG.jpg[/qimg]
Will they share the same fate as Roger and Rouge ?
…no. Oda said there'll be absolutely no romance in One Piece.
Please community colour the chapter
i'm working on the last panel ^^'' haha but since i put it onto canvas and paint it for real .. ^^'' with only white, black and red .. i guess it's not what you're looking for.
but yeah! someone colour this chapter!
DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN AGAIN PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ GARP GO AND RAPE AKAINU someone has to completely fuck that guy in order for us readers to feel a little better :( guess this wont happen in this war :( :( :(
another possibility on the new cover thing, is that rather than random pairings, is will be a series of shots with Luffy interacting with each member of the crew one at a time.
Suppose we'll find out next week.
Next chapter will consist of Akainu getting a promotion and a pat on the back.
Kenpachi your avatar reminds me, I wonder if we'll ever find out Ace's bounty now that he has died? Also I think shits about to get a lot worse and that BB will be arriving in the next few chapters.
I'm kinda late to the party, and didn't read the last 89 pages, but does anyone else think Ace will come back in the next chapter or so? Like, maybe Ivankov takes Whitebeard's life hormones and injects Ace with them or something? Oda loves pulling these moments on us, and OP characters don't die unless it's in a flashback [or they're close enough to being an extra]. Plus, it would really suck if they just went through all of that for nothing.
Idk, I just don't see him staying dead. If any of you are with me on this cool, if you think I sound stupid, then I guess we'll just see then won't we? :P

Clearly you've forgotten all the romances that have already occurred.
[hide][/hide]Luffy has strange taste in women.

We'll learn that when Akainu gets his pension plan.

Geez, thanks for spoiling the ending for me! Now I won't be able to sleep at night knowing more main character death is in store for us!

Ha, I actually considered a scene in which Akainu gets paid for taking Ace out.
Episode 75 of the podcast is on, and it's all about the chapter:
Ha, I actually considered a scene in which Akainu gets paid for taking Ace out.
It occurs to me that the strong Marines probably get royally ripped off as far as their salary is concerned.
This…how...noone has ever died. Most tragic moment in One Piece...ever because it did not occur in the past.:sad:
Don't know what the hell some guys are talking about. Akainu's just a badass.
Not to mention efficient.
Akainu is a great villian. I don't want him to get his ass kicked in this war… I want Luffy to do it near the end of the manga.
Ace dying does do a lot more good for the manga than bad. It makes Luffy vs Blackbeard even more anticipating !!
Wonder if Whitebeard will die now... did Oda just use that to distract us from Ace? I always imagined that Blackbeard and Whitebeard would meet again, so who knows.
I'm speculating atleast 5 years into the future here, but since it seems like there'll probably be a Luffy vs. Akainu in the future I wonder if he'll merely give him the beatdown like everyone else in the past or will he actually try to kill him? And please let's try not to mention Sasuke.
5 years is a lot. Im thinking 1-3 years.
ACET_T
Didn't cry but I came near damn close three times throughout.
So sad.
But it feels…appropriate.
Also I thought Luffy's face was ridiculous at first but now it's grown on me and I see it as even more tragic. It looks like the face of a little kid and Luffy is a kid at heart. Imagine a kid reacting to the loss of his brotherT_T
5 years is a lot. Im thinking 1-3 years.
well 5-6 years is enough i think because i think the next saga will have the boss villian Kaidou.
…no. Oda said there'll be absolutely no romance in One Piece.
I thought Oda said that he wouldn't kill anyone too.. :/
deletus…
…no. Oda said there'll be absolutely no romance in One Piece.
That's why there will be a time skip (40 years?) and we will see a big, fat, bearded Luffy looking really badass (kinda the younger Garp?) and a glimpse of Namy taking care of their children or grandchildren. That way -> no love comedy or romance, just the result.
…no. Oda said there'll be absolutely no romance in One Piece.
he also said no one (important) would die in the present =x
5 years is a lot. Im thinking 1-3 years.
Well we all know that Oda is terrible at estimating the time each part will take, so if was to say that it'll take about 2 years then it's pretty safe to say that it will end up taking at least twice as long for him to actualy bring it ashore.
So with that in mind it taking 5 years doesnt really sound that improbable.
@$abZ:
Akainu is a great villian…
Sorry but Doflamingo is better.:ninja:
Fantastic twist. I can't see him being resurrected, that ending was way to deep and final, no way is he coming back, it would just cheapen that whole embracing death scene. But it certainly has opened the door to a lot of plot and character development.
One things for certain Luffy is at an all time low, his crew scattered across the world, poisoned, coming down from vigor hormones which I liken to crystal meth now, that compounded with the death of his brother? That's one shitty day.
Well this reminds me that the price of freedom is steep. Made me think of this.
Uh, that's the same page that says that Sabaody doesn't have a magnetic pull, since it's an archipelago.
…no. Oda said there'll be absolutely no romance in One Piece.
A hug does not mean romance.
Besides, Luffy needs a hug. Luffy and Nami are already acting like a couple without the kiss and sex.
It is love without the physical forms and cliches words.

my bad, confusing FI and SA!
Well this reminds me that the price of freedom is steep. Made me think of this.
And your post made me think of this.
Apparently Ace is equivilent to one dollar and fifty cents.
jUST WONDERING HOW YOU GUYS AND GIRLS TOOK ACES DEATH FOR ME I WAS COMPLETELY SHOCKED AFTER READING THE CHAPTER NOW I ALMOST CRIED WITH THIS SCENE
I laughed
A lot
I then read some comments and fell off my chair laughing
Kishishishishishishi!!
Good.
Shoulda never existed. His inclusion in the story was obviously put there just to create this "impetus" for Luffy to go beyond. When he started showing up in Drum/Alabastard, it was clear he was just this cool, meaningless figure to make people go "AWSOCOO'"… but he secretly sucked.
Now, can we move on?
@sanji499:
A hug does not mean romance.
Only if you have low testosterone levels.
Would someone like to point out the SBS/interview where Oda "supposedly" says he won't kill people in the present. I'm pretty sure he had an extreme aversion to killing, but he never said he wouldn't do it.
And please leave pairing wars at the door. Or take it to another thread.
Well he did one good thing he prevented Luffy getting a magma fist to the face. Actually that would have been funny after all he's the main character he can't die, did ace not know that?
just read the chapter and it got me so pumped, need to post something O_o:
oda should nickname himself cohones!
at the end of the last chapter i thought "wow, another pointless, dramatic 'killing blow'…gääähn...now...what will oda pull out of his ass to save ace...well something will come up...everybody survives nearly anything gäähn"
and then we get this...and i couldn't help smiling reading this chapter...and i'm still smiling and will be smiling and happy for the rest of the week or longer...i just hope ace stays dead, no miracles!
btw don't understand the poeple who want akainu to be pumpled around or worse...i love this guy, my number one on my one-piece-badassery-scale....while he's at it he should slaughter some more guys...
Wow. I just read the chapter and just… wow. I didn't think it would happen, but Oda actually made me feel bad about Ace dying. And the Luffy face doesn't seem as much out of place when you read the pages leading up to it. Overall awesome chapter.
Anyone else think that in the final panel it kinda looks like Luffy is about to start eating Aces dead body?
Ace will turn into a Devils Fruit and Coby will eat it and become a fire logia. Then start fucking shit up on Marinford !!!
I was shocked but wasn't surprised. I knew Ace was going to die, I just thought Oda wouldn't let Luffy rescue him, just for him to die in his brother's arms. Just goes to show you Oda is full of surprises.
That last Luffy expression is pretty creepy now that i keep looking at it. >>

-In death we will be together always!
That's what I thought… he looked like a zombie.

aka a deep sincere friendship.
I see Luffy and Nami as love, but strictly as a platonic one.
She's definitely going to cheer him up, together with the rest of the crew.
Cause the heartwarming interactions between the crew is what is so great about One Piece.
But I really can't see any romantic love going on.

That would actually be a very nice touch.

Untill Akainu comes and magma punches him in the spine. Because burning fire is totally possible, just look at amaterasu. Lets just hope Akainu never runs into Sasuke or it might start raining lulz uppon us.
Namis his big sister imo.

That's very well put.
This next chapter will determine just who our character is. Just who is Monkey D. Luffy?
To find out exactly what a character is made of, that character has to struggle, he has to be able to continue on and push forth through tragedy. It will change a man, test his mettle. We're about to see exactly who Monkey D. Luffy is…
Does anyone else get the feeling that Luffy is going to go apesht (hahaha, actually Monkeysht), unleash crazy powerful haki and go straight at akainu or any marine that's close? or is just me?
Personally, I would love to see Luffy go ballistic and lay the smack down on anyone in his path.
