Awesome chapter. Those Luffy pages were insane =(
It looks like Dadan is who Oda was referring to when he mentioned that Luffy's mother was "probably fat and ugly."

In before Agog says the angle at which Luffy punched the trees is a the final sign of Perona joining.
We need a cover story of Bepo's epic adventure of trying to get some bear ass. We he get laid or end up as a permabearvirgin.
Screw cover story, I want a whole sub plot with lots of pages!
poor bepo…....16
Very cool chapter.
After reading the chapter, something tells me that the Marines or some other force is going to eventually move on Amazon Lilly.
It is painfully obvious that Luffy is going to hold a huge grudge against Akainu but I am still unsure if Luffy will be the one to eventually defeat him or will it be Dragon.
When Luffy wonders why Garp is able to hurt him even though he is rubber, I guess we can assume that Oda is alluding to Garp being able to use Haki?
It is obvious that Luffy vs Akainu will happen. I bet if this happens, everyone will be excited to see Luffy kicking his lava ass. Luffy has to be stronger than admiral level if he wishes to become PK.
Zoro must have an obvious grudge on Kizaru for almost killing him as well.
I have to admit, I have been one those that felt Jinbei wasn't going to join the crew but with Fishman Island likely in chaos and having no Shichibukai status, what else is there for Jinbei to do but to join.
However, I just think him joining the crew leaves some ambiguity as to who is the strongest member out of him and Luffy.
I almost cried upon Luffy's "Ace died didn't he?"
…...damn ;;
I propose a spinoff manga starring Bepo and his Love Quest.
We'll call it "Bears N' Wine, All the Time".
Thank u so much o.o
this chapter made me cry, bloody hell
From now on I will vote for Bepo in the tournament.
Chapter was sweet.

I'm not so sure, given the fact that there are so many "bosses" in the Pirate Arena, so to speak for Luffy to defeat.
Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if Coby or Dragon puts Akainu out of his misery at some point.
That is what is so great about One Piece. People seem convinced that Blackbeard is the final enemy but it could realistically be Akainu or another Marine.
The spinoff Manga should be called Bear Piece.
Bepo's (a character from One Piece) epic adventure in manga form as he tries to claim a piece of bear ass.
Nice chapter but… I miss Buggy and Croocodile!!!
So Dadan finally appears huh… I always thought it'd be a guy, but judging from her looks... close enough >.>;;
Pretty good chapter. I like how the pace is slowing down a bit; fits in perfectly with the resting arc. Ace Giaden mini Arc should be good, and maybe it'll conclude with what Ace whispered to Luffy before he died. But from the looks of it, there won't be a time skip until at least June/July.
Lol Bepo the 1 liner king
Garp left Ace and Luffy with bandits thinking they would become marines ? Yeah, seems about right.
Well, not much happened this chapter. Luffy bashing the forest and the beginning of the flashback I don't really care about.
Let's get back to Luffy recovering and the crew reuniting!
I find weird that we didn't see Inazuma.
Maybe she stayed with Buggy or Crocodile?!?
Great chapter by the way
Anyone who doesn't like Dadan or her design can go suck a cock.
Garp left Ace and Luffy with bandits thinking they would become marines ? Yeah, seems about right.
His logic is in-fucking-fallible.
BEPO IS DAMN CUTE LA!!!
"Think there's any female bears?"
Totally got me LOL!!!
I found Moria's brother in page 4!!!
Garp left Ace and Luffy with bandits thinking they would become marines ? Yeah, seems about right.
Yeah, that part will have to be fleshed out a little bit more.
It will be interesting to find out more details about some of these crimes of Dadan, that according to Garp, numbers as many as there are stars.
Did anyone notice how epic the colourpages are?
I mean, who the hell voted for those teams and Zoro is going into the wrong direction again!
That'll be my wallpaper for the World Championship!
We need a cover story of Bepo's epic adventure of trying to get some bear ass. Will he get laid or end up as a permabearvirgin.
And Thus, The Bepo Fan Club Was Created…
wait, there was already one in existence?
Sweet. It just grew then XD
The Heart Pirates are so damn popular 8D
Garp left Ace and Luffy with bandits thinking they would become marines ? Yeah, seems about right.
Best part of his master plan of leading Ace and Luffy to the path of justice is he got the bandits to do it with blackmail.
Also sort of sad that it is so heart-wrenching for Luffy to realize that he has lost his brother.
Jimbei's reaction was perhaps more telling.
@Cyan:
Maybe Luffy's long-ass backstory flashback will show Ace eating the Flare Flare Fruit.
Ace ate his fruit after he left, remember in arabasta how luffy was surprised he had eaten a devil fruit
@KingofSarus:
I hope Luffy kicks Ace's ass as they were kids. :getlost:
Bepo, that's a manbear.
again back to arabasta, Luffy says he has never beaten Ace once in his entire life, and that again was before he even got his devil fruit.
@Croy:
Looks like Hancock didn't get to see Luffy much at all during the time on the island thanks to the "Duties" of an empress and look at that she didn't eat much at all during that time out of worry. Doesn't look like her "sickness" is over at all =P.
yea and wow it seems like the disease is getting more extreme or worse instead of better at all.
Waaaaaaaaaaaait. Were those "2 weeks have passed" the time skip? Damn, trolled by Oda.
OMG.. finally! Sedap!
Oh how I love Law's crew ;u; BEPOOO! <3
Anyway, awesome chapter, as always. Finally the backstory of Luffy! And the colorpages were indeed amazing~!
..And here I am, crying like a baby once again. ;______; Poor Luffy :'c
Dadan was not like how i expected but thats how it always is in One Piece.Looks like we are back to the 20 pages now.
Hancock: I want to see Luffy
Nyon: You can't. You have a duty to this country since you're the pirate empress.
Hancock: Well I quit then.
Nyon: WHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTT??!!
Jimbei's reaction was perhaps more telling.

That is what is so great about One Piece. People seem convinced that Blackbeard is the final enemy but it could realistically be Akainu or another Marine.
Personally, Luffy defeating Akainu will be the proof that he has surpassed Ace by succeeding where he failed.
I can see the STraw hats big 3 going against the 3 admirals.
Luffy vs Akainu
Zoro vs Kizaru
Sanji vs Aokiji
It would be epic if you see such a cover.
I think BB will remain the final boss. Shanks was hurt by Teach and by Luffy. Two symbolic injuries. It feels like Shanks is betting on Luffy to defeat BB.
I think Coby, Smoker, Tashigi and Hermepo might change completely the marines and the WG.
Actually, I can see those two members of Law's crew having Sanji-like personalities :|
I can imagine them two and Sanji (count Brooke in as well) for a trip around Kuja (includes panty stealing = w = Brooke's idea)
And while they do that, Bepo will be looking for some sweet sweet ass and when he finds that ass he's gonna be like 'dat ass' and tap. dat. ass.
By the way, Law seems to be spacing out there :|
This is true and epic, Jimbei should die now.
I think Coby, Smoker, Tashigi and Hermepo might change completely the marines and the WG.
Helmeppo will arm future Marines with Hammer Guns….
Excellent chapter with good pacing (finally) and character building for Luffy, definitely Oda at his best.
Dadan looks like she crawled out of a swamp in Lovecraft's head. I kind of like it.
Law isn't spacing out. He's just thinking holy shit. Is this the Yonkou Shank's legendary strawhat.
Good chapter. The pirates are moving to the Grand Line just like they did 22 years ago when Roger died. And Garp used blackmail to get Dadan to raise Ace and Luffy. Luffy at age 7 was friends with the Red Hair Pirates, wanted to be Pirate King, and raised by mountain bandits. Very, very low chance that he'd become a marine, Garp!

Yeah, yiou're right. I was wrong about that; I thought she was over it. Congrats.
Not much happening in this chap, felt kinda dragged on for me, best things were the nice color spread and "are there any bears?"
@Master:
Helmeppo will arm future Marines with Hammer Guns….
Hammer guns are the greatest weapon mankind has come up with.
Luffy's awake~ I would say 'finally', but at the same time I was surprised that he already woke up. I don't know what I was expecting though. Anyway, Luffy trying to deny his memories about Ace's death was heartbreaking, but I'm still glad that he still has his own personality, even if he's in pain. He could've handled this in lot of out-of-character ways. But I wonder what's gotten into Oda with these weird-looking crying faces? First Coby, now Luffy.
As for the rest of the chapter… The colorspread was really cool, Bepo was cute, and Garp is truly sly with his methods of getting a baby-sitter. XD And I really like learning a bit more about Luffy's and Ace's past. :3
I really liked the chapter even thought it's really sad. Luckily the chapter wasn't completely emo - I like totally loved Bepo on this (female bears lmao). And the flashback made me go aww… I have been thinking so long how they really reacted when they first met and no we know they didn't get a long at all. I want to see more Ace/Luffy flashback but hopefully it's not gonna be as long as Robin's. I must admit I was surprised that Garp left Ace and Luffy to a bandit and still expects
them to become Marines... FAIL :D
And I like Dadan so far, I hope we see more of her - not only in flashbacks but her reaction to Ace's death etc.
Personally, Luffy defeating Akainu will be the proof that he has surpassed Ace by succeeding where he failed.
Ace was mortally wounded by Akainu in the back while trying to protect Luffy from one of Akainu's magma fists, so it wasn't like Ace and Akainu fought a competitive battle, Akainu was always stronger than Ace was.
Also, Luffy defeating Blackbeard would be a much stronger example of Luffy surpassing Ace.
I believe Luffy could be the person to defeat Akainu, but I am not convinced that fight will ever happen.
Great chapter! .. love the colorspread ;D
poor luffy :sad:

I remember in chapter 573 that Ace was overpowered by Akainu's magama.
Akainu mentioned that his lava power was more effective than fire. Ace was losing.
Nice chapter, so Bepo is actually a bear(by his interest in bears) or did he really embrace his devil fruit to the fullest lol.
Great chapter. Oda brings out the emotional scenes much better than Kishimoto :-/…
This chapter ia making the next crew member so complicated. I can't imagine Luffy asking anyone, but I don't think Luffy should travel alone in his fragile state. Then the scenes with Jimbei and with Hancock >_>,
Anyway, the chapter was really sad with Luffy. Poor guy..
On another note, Bepo is awesome.
Wow… even jimbei cried at the end
