Chapter 579 "The Courageous Seconds" Discussion
-
-
What I'm also surprised about is that Law actually escaped from Kizaru at SA. Think he used the sub there as well?
-
@Cyan:
Akainu can be the cake.
Does that make Kizaru the candle?
-
The chapter didnt have any Croc…:sad: I hope sth like this will happen in the next chapter..
Akainu : I dont care who you are...Pirates should DIE !!!!!!!!
Shanks blocks magmafist.
Croc stabs Akainu from the back...
Cr: Shut up biaatch !!!!!!!! -
Wonderful chapter. It was a pleasure to read.
Thank you all very much ! -
The best part by far was Akainu's speech to Coby.
Akainu: Who the hell are you!?
Lolworthy indeed…
-
At this point in the war that is not even a possibility.
BB has every intention of sinking the island, and unless there is power shift, he should be capable of doing so.
-
Luffy needs no hat he has Jinbei now
Are you saying Jimbei will become a Fish-hat?!?:wassat:
-
The chapter didnt have any Croc…:sad: I hope sth like this will happen in the next chapter..
Akainu : I dont care who you are...Pirates should DIE !!!!!!!!
Shanks blocks magmafist.
Croc stabs Akainu from the back...
Cr: Shut up biaatch !!!!!!!!Yeah sadly we didn't have seen some characters like Boa… How she cries and say goodbye Luffy!!!
But glad Jinbei is with Luffy
-
Does that make Kizaru the candle?
And Aokiji's the ice cream inside the cake. Tsuru's in charge of confetti.
-
So anyone noticed Shanks speech? The courageous seconds have changed the fate of the world? Luffy is indeed alive because of Coby, kizaru didnt shot the submarine because of this.
-
-
Didn't Shanks ask Marco to join his crew on WB's ship?
Well, he is available now, isn't he? :D
-
Shanks: Why don't you join my crew now, Marco?
Marco: Sure… -
The chapter didnt have any Croc…:sad: I hope sth like this will happen in the next chapter..
Akainu : I dont care who you are...Pirates should DIE !!!!!!!!
Shanks blocks magmafist.
Croc stabs Akainu from the back...
Cr: Shut up biaatch !!!!!!!!Croc was taken out by Akainu off panel like Ivankov.

Ah, great chapter now that the scanlation is out. The spoilers focused mainly on Shanks returning, but didn't mention the nature of this war changing. Coby and Smoker's input were really interesting, and the imagine of Akainu raging like a beast only helped! They showed us a side of the marines we rarely see, their bloodthirsty nature when killing pirates. In this chapter it went past the point of justice and became something like genocide.
In fact, Akainu is the perfect example of this nature, considering the guy clearly loves to kill! I mean really, despite what Coby said, on a battlefield with Blackbeard pirates, Whitebeard pirates, and Law's group where is the justification for trying to kill Coby? This is why I want to see more of Akainu as a villain, cause out of all of them he's really the sickest one!
-
Didn't Shanks ask Marco to join his crew on WB's ship?
Well, he is available now, isn't he? :D
Sorry, you have to be awesome to be on Shanks' crew. Crocodile's qualified, however.
-
I knew Shanks would come like I said in the last chapter topic haha.
Now only Dragon is missing. And the last Emperor.
What a chaotic Arc. -
Didn't Shanks ask Marco to join his crew on WB's ship?
Well, he is available now, isn't he? :D
Looks like Shanks might get a bunch of extra crew members
-
Shanks: Why don't you join my crew now, Marco?
Marco: Sure…Shanks: Nah, I'm just F-ing with ya, why don't you do something useful for once?
-
Damn, but Coby was so incredible amazing, his display of courage unmatched as he was so terrified that he actually feinted after he had said his words and Akainu struck at him. His belief that the war was unnecessary prolonged and bloodthirsty was also voiced by Smoker, a battle-hardened veteran. But I just have to say I loved Akainu's display of righteous fury as he roared at the pirates that they were evil and should be purged…
Buggy was awesome, he finally had his moment of bravery when he defied Kizuro beside him and threw Luffy and Jimbei to Trafalgar Law.
-
Buggy makes the best faces
-
Oh my i would never've guessed that Shanks will come. What an epic chapter, Cobys speach was great, but it would've been cooler if he hadn't cried.
And perhaps we will see Garp+Sengoku vs BB just like in chapter 0, but please a liitle bit more then a few panels.
And the last thing i really hope Shanks puts on the hat that would be mega cool -
BB has every intention of sinking the island, and unless there is power shift, he should be capable of doing so.
Like Sengoku said, fortresses can always be rebuilt.
And honestly now we all know that pretty much no one worth of notice would die if Blackbeard did that. At absolutly worst it would make a dent in their grunt force. But seeing as how these forces here are only the absolute top there are probably atleast 5x as many soldiers outside of this battlefield, possibly even more.
So the chances of the Marines being "destroyed" are pretty much nil. Maybe they would end up pretty weakend, but if we would've factored in killing Whitebeard, Ace and Luffy as well in one fell swoop they still would've come out on top.
-
Shanks: Nah, I'm just F-ing with ya, why don't you do something useful for once?
Marco: So…does that offer still stand to join your crew.
Shanks: Sorry, only people who can actually win a battle can join. -
I'm still wondering Tashigi's translation. Was she criticizing the marines or the pirates? o_o
I wonder if there's a clear raw goes to check

Buggy's the clown c:
-

Akainu replying "seconds have been wasted" did it for me.
-
So is there a reason for the Strawhat pirates to exist any longer?
The last semblance - the Strawhat - has now been returned to Shanks. The crew has been officially defeated and the event recorded. They've been sundered and scattered to the farthest known ends of the world.
There is no reason ever to get back together again as the "Strawhat" pirates. Their jolly roger would be moot. And… this is the last adventure of Luffy as a 17 yr old after all.
I don't like the idea, but you make a darn good point. Law is leaving and the hat is still left on the site. There seems to be no way for Luffy to retrieve it again, unless he meets with Shanks prematurely and that doesn't feel right yet. There's a reason why Luffy is unconscious right now.
Also, to all the people who feel this arc is dragging, I fail to feel the same. Look at Bleach for the last 100 chapters. That is dragging, because hardly any plot development is being made when all they do is fight and fight and fight one character after another. One Piece however is making good development every chapter. Ace dying. Luffy going mental. Blackbeard appearing. Whitebeard dying. Blackbeard obtaining Gura Gura no Mi. All escape paths being blocked. Luffy dropping the strawhat. Trafalgar Law appearing. Tsunami heading towards Sabaody. Coby standing up to Akainu. Shanks appearing. And that's just 6 chapters worth.
I think there will be 5 more chapters before the war ends. That's just about enough to have it end with Volume 59 and then Volume 60 will deal with the aftermath. And Enies Lobby still lasted longer than that.
And on another note, we need a Scanlation using cnet's translation this week. This week Mangastream's version had weird written all over.

She's talking about the marines.
-
what an evil way to end the chapter D:
I WANT MORE SHANKS D: -
Marco: So…does that offer still stand to join your crew.
Shanks: Sorry, only people who can actually win a battle can join.Marco hasn't lost a battle. But suprising… kiZaru and Akainu are more amazed by Shanks at Ben as they were of WB and Marco
-
Marco hasn't lost a battle. But suprising… kiZaru and Akainu are more amazed by Shanks at Ben as they were of WB and Marco
Has he won a battle?
Being more amazing than Marco isn't that much of an accomplishment. I'm sure they were expecting Whitebead, so they weren't that shocked.
-
Hopefully we'll see Lucky Roux and Yasopp get some screentime.
Oh, and I guess Rockstar as well.
-
Oh man, I can't wait for an HQ raw to come out. Some of these lines are so confusing!!!
-
I don't really get the Coby hate here, but then again I never understood the Vivi hate on this forum either. Whatevs.
Besides the foreshadowing of Coby having Mantra, there's something else I noticed, probably due to just watching Season Two Sixth Voyage.
When Tashigi and Smoker note the 'thirst' for battle, it was very similar to the same 'Madness' Tashigi noted after the bomb exploded in Alabasta and the people kept fighting. Kind of makes Coby's speech even more appropriate, except he had the guts to stand in front of the single most dangerous person to give it.
Agree 100% with the last part, I sort of saw Coby as useless when he was hit by luffy, but he changed everything like shanks said.
Like Sengoku said, fortresses can always be rebuilt.
And honestly now we all know that pretty much no one worth of notice would die if Blackbeard did that. At absolutly worst it would make a dent in their grunt force. But seeing as how these forces here are only the absolute top there are probably atleast 5x as many soldiers outside of this battlefield, possibly even more.

Actually all marines are here, fodder and top. Marines are branch of WG so WGs ground troops count to millions and that is another story. The 100k marines here would mostly die if the island was sunk, the ships and maybe Aokiji freezing the ocean would save a bunch "top tiers", but in the end they would be devastated as their power lies in numbers.
And WB alliance is 1 alliance of many pirates in the GL, l doubt it would be worth it.

why is it that when Akainu mows down everyone in his path to accomplish his goal he's blood thirsty but when luffy mows down everyone in his path to accomplish his goal he's a great guy…
Pirates are evil, thats the real jist of this war. People live in fear of them. The marines now have an opportunity to erase some of the most feared pirates in the world, why wouldn't they. coby and Tashigi are saying that their objective is over but thats not the case, would you really let tons of world class criminals go just because you killed their leader. The only negative thing i see going on is them letting soldiers die who could otherwise be saved. But seriously its about time the marines showed that they have the same tenacity and passion for their justice as pirates do for their lawlessness...
-
He's crying like Aisa about voices disappearing inside his head.
Ohhhh.
I remember Enel doing his countdown.
I forgot how vast an ability mantra was. I happened to read but not really pay attention to the ramblings of Coby at that page.
Unfortunately it seems that part of mantra is just gonna make him that much more of a sensitive pussy. Tormenting himself over the voices one by one disappearing.
Dude still needs to grow up, ppl are going to die in his profession. No way around it.
-
Marco hasn't lost a battle. But suprising… kiZaru and Akainu are more amazed by Shanks at Ben as they were of WB and Marco
Yeah, but has he won one?
He sure hasn't been impressive with all that screen time he's had.
-
Marco was a major disappointment. End of story. For someone of his status and abilities, he was truly a weak pussy.
-
@Steven:
She's talking about the marines.
Yes, that's right, isn't it o_o/
So does this chapter release need a v2? :ninja:
-
Lucky Roux the crazy bastard is needed NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Akainu is blood thirsty because he's willing to mow down his allies too, Luffy doesn't hurt his friends like that. As for letting pirates go, I think the argument is that they are still trying to kill the Whitebeard pirates when it's the Blackbeard pirates that are trying to kill everyone on the island. So I think it would be better to take care of the bigger issue at hand with full force.
-
Oda destroyed Marco, the guy has the ability to regenerate, ok, but where is his power? Oh he can kick people with haki, Joz and Ace were more amazing, for gods sake even Vista was cool in his 'fight' Mihawk.
The single most useless WB commander was IMO Marco in that he didn't hurt any top tier marine, even luffy took down a giant.
Btw Ben froze and admiral in his move and Shanks bent over and picked up a hat with his only remaining hand, in-front of the most dangerous marine.
-
Well Ben and Shanks are bringing more fear in the faces of admirals than WB, Marco, Vista, Jozu and all of the NW captains.
And Ben is really bad-ass. Damn this crew is too cool.
I really want to see what Luffy will do without the hat now. I doubt they will meet soon… Shanks and Luffy
-

He kicked 2 admirals.

yaa Jouz did much more better than him i guess :getlost:
-
Coby having mantra is pretty interesting.
I'm greatly amused by Buggy, as usual. "You can have him, people I don't know! F this!"
I must've missed it. Where does Coby show use of mantra?
-

He says he hears voices suddenly stop in his head, sort of like Aisa. Or he's schizophrenic.
