Nice chapter. Luffy's entrance was a great idea, just as they were gonna kill Ace.
Chapter 556 "Justice Will Prevail!!" Discussion
-
-
Yeah he could have some newfound courage, but I prefer this way anyway, Coby still has a hell of alot of room to develop, and this isn't any normal war.
Oh and I really can't imagine someone underusing that damn quake fruit, it definetly goes down with enel's as godly! Enel = WB, I hope they fight!!!!
-
-
Ok, if the other chapters of this war were good, this was effing kick-ass great!! So many things happened that I didn't even notice it was just 17 pages. I was completely caught up and I was so thrilled when I finally saw a war raging. Not just a battle, a friggin WAR!! :w00t:
Still no idea what the heck DoFlamingos fruit could be if not strings. A leaked spoiler in the 555 thread made me think it was the "Washer Washer Fruit", but that was obviously meant for Tsuru. I almost don't want the fruit revealed, since it's been the biggest piece of fruit speculation since Jaya. Also, his speech in this chapter was epic.
Nice to see Coby and Helmeppo again. And there you were, Garp! And you're not a giant vice-admiral with a dog fruit. Sucks to be you, speculation n00bs.
Strategist Sengoku, huh? But what good could come out of executing Ace more than enraging Whitebeard? I think there's more to that than what meets the eye.
And in the end of the chapter came something falling through the sky. At first, I thought it was magma, sent by Akainu to punish Coby and Helmeppo for running away. But no… Instead of feeling sorry for the two escapees, a big smile spread on my face.
LUFFY HAS ARRIVED!!!!!
Now for speculation:
-
Smoker. I've completely overlooked him till now, but now I remembered. This might be where he'll have his final fight with Luffy. He'll be perfect, seeing as how Luffy needs to get a hang of Haki without beating an overpowered enemy such as Magellan or... Akainu?
-
Let's see how Moria, Aokiji (Where is he, btw?) and Hancock react to this. Will the amazon princess change sides now that her knight in shining rubber is there or will she continue to petrify people of both sides?
-What will Luffy do when he notices Kuma or Kizaru?
-
-
Sengoku "the strategist" and all he can come to is execute Ace before time ??? :-?
Well here's to hoping there's a bit more to it than that. We know Akainu casually strolled away from the battlefield to start an "operation", and orders were given out to a lot of the marine forces. Now aside from a secret armada of pacifista's I can't really think of anything, but I'm sure it's something outrageously unpredictable not unlike Luffy falling from the sky
-
Luffy will probably look past everyone to save Ace, that's what he came to do, yeah he might make a few comments like how Moria brought Oars with him, or maybe berate his granfather for not doing anything to save Ace. this should be intresting enough, i'm really more intrested in the real main character of the story thought…what will old croc do?
-
Luffy has a link with a lot of the big names. Kuma, Kizaru, Aokiji, Hancock, Garp, Dragon, Ace, Moria, Sengoku (for driving him insane !!) and even Donflamingo (as he knows Luffy is the one who beat Bellamy).
I'm looking forward to their reactions (especially Ace) and what Luffy will do. Oda could have anything planned.
-
Wtf is up with aka inu? He should fight on the battlefield against the strongest powerhouses and not execute fleeing fodder. That sure is related to the "disappearing" of aokoji and sengokus plan. And this masterplan has definitely more in it as simply executing ace or some pacifistas. Maybee some sort of bombardement or explosion in the bay. They didnt seem to care too much about lower marines casualties.
-
Anyone else think Sengoku might have a power like choppers brain point that lets him do thing like Pride from FMA. You know being able to automatically see weakness and analyze any situation for the best outcome allowing him to fight and plan better than anyone else hence his nick "The Strategist"

I'm hoping he's like Zhuge Liang, and is an all natural brainiac/strategist.
Besides, the intellectual augmenting DF is clearly going to be Vegapunk's, and any sort of precognitive fruit would just be ridiculous. Unless he has the Sharingan DF, it's not a fruit skill, I think.
-
what's up with HER? was that a DF or something? Laundry Laundy no Mi?
-
This is so AWESOME! Can't wait for the next chapter! Amen!!
-
i'd like it better if Vegapunk was really just the smart guy who was ahead of his. If he got his intelligence from a DF then all those things he invented weren't really him, they were just the fruit which kinda cheapens him in my eyes…thats just how i feel about that.
And im not talkin Precog abilities if you read FMA and see how Pride(Wrath manga) moves and fights you'll get what i mean, it would make him a very formidable opponent in hand to hand and in the overall...i never pegged Sengoku for a super powerful guy anyway...he seems just lame enough to cool ability like that to me though...

I like to think it as bubble DF on steriods with additional ability.
-
cant wait for next weak, reactions are going to be awsome
-
the ability to analayze any situation is called Accelerated probability, it0s the ability to see what choice one should make when confronted with a situation, to predict the outcomes of certain situations…
he didnt really do anything like that so dont know if thats his Df power,being strategic dosent mean u got to have a Df power.
-
I don't expect much from luffy. We saw that doflamingo is able without problems to control a commander of WBs division. What can luffy do in this war?
Mihawk probably won't attack him.
Neither will Hancock.
Kuma? Who knows. It's not clear!
Doflamingo? He is there to slaughter so he is a dangerous opponent.
Moria? Why not?
Akainu, Sengoku, Kizaru, are there… It's obvious that they won't hesitate to kill luffy.Regarding all the powerhouses who might actually find a reason to take luffy down, i think that his main task will be to try to save ace and basically run away. The clock is ticking for him (hormones doping) and ace.
-
Ive been waiting for this since this war started, Sengoku finaly has them where he wants em and can spring the trap that's been slowly closing around them. Almost cant belive its finaly time for the force's of justice to kick some ass.
-
epic ch!!!!!!!!
garp crying is so thatching!!!
and falling for the sky is the most unexpected thing i see so far
plus buggy in new outfit!!!!we also done withe nami only left is brook and zoro
(i bet next its brook time!!) -
Great chapter but still I wish we could see more. Damn the manga for giving us such small chapters. I can't wait till next week and knowing my luck next week they will probably take a break
I liked Luffy's entrance . That ought to make an impression on the battle but seeing as how he is finally here it's quite likely that the Pacifista corp is going to enter the action soon as well and then all hell will break loose. What I wonder will be if they will manage to free Ace so he can fight as well or not. I think they will really need him. So far as big guns are concerned we have only seen Whitebeard and his two division commanders on the pirate side.Well unless some of the other captains start really showing some powers. And I hope they do
-
Awesome chapter!
Can't wait for people's reactions to Luffy's entrance! Especially their reactions seeing a Shichibukai and ex-shichibukai on Luffy's side. But the thing is, I still don't know what Croc's full intentions are. He COULD take on the Marines as revenge for imprisoning him in Impel Down. Or he could take WB's head just as he said.Can't wait for Oda's plan to be revealed!!!11
-
I'm glad the scene with Garp was not in the spoilers. That's awesome what he's doing. He's a badass old man for sure. I'm guessing Akainu's plan is executing Ace now.
Awesome chapter this week.
-
I really want Luffy to put up a good fight here. If he gets knocked around like he did on Shabondy and ultimately contributes very little, I'll be extremely disappointed. I want to see him be a major force in the battle.
-
Jinbei's reaction while falling from the sky is great. It's like he doesn't even notice.
-

If you brace yourself for it now you might not be as disapointed.
-
I don't understand:
- Morgan was jailed because he was a tyrant and kill his men.
- Shiryu was jailed becaused he abused his position in Impel Down and killed many prisoners.
Then, why Akainu is free and not in a jail!!? He kills his own men!!
-
Ah Coby…. You pussy. Also Doflamingo is crazy but right.

Well that would be because there is a death sentance on fleeing in the middle of battle and endangering the lives of the men you are fighting with. Even if he hadnt killed him there, a firing squad would probably have done the job later on.
-
Interesting. I wonder if we were all wrong about the Vice Admiral last chapter? I was certainly wrong in my assumption that the Giant Squad members weren't Vice Admirals, as this chapter proves. So, I wonder, was it the giant hitting the floor that was Vice Admiral Lacroix, or the man shouting orders? The way the scene is portrayed, I am still leaning towards the guy shouting orders, but at the same time, I can understand the viewpoint of it having been the giant that hit the floor…
-
And we still don't know who opened the gate !!!
And what if BB appears too !?!?OMFG !!!!

Ronse was shown in the VA spread, I knew he was a VA of the giant squad but they were clearly referring to the french guy with the stereotypical french mustache as Lacroix (french name even).
-
So wait..Sengoku's full nickname is "Strategist Sengoku the Buddha"?
If this is the case, this isn't the most impressive plan. On the one hand, killing Ace quicker was one of the most obvious ideas. On the other, the rammifications from doing so will probably ensure his death.

I don't think we need to worry about powerhouses confronting Luffy. Though they probably will. Luffy and co will serve as an excellent distraction for the seconds WB and co need to continue penetrating the bay and establishing a foothold. With Garp and Sengoku probably being the only "big" shots who won't be occupied.
As for Luffy's vigour hormones, it's supposed to last 24hrs, so I'd imagine that this war will be well over by then. Though this will last us till the end of the year LOL
I'm expecting that Sengoku's plan is to somehow destroy the bay to defeat the pirates, at least a large portion (say like 90%) of them all in one swoop, while using Ace's early execution as bait (a distraction).
-
Yeah i'm thinking, WB seems to know what's going on, he hasn't gotten of his ship yet, I mean the way his smashing heads he could have done and Oars and plowed through everyone.
-

I am guessing the plan is to kill Ace thereby enraging the pirates enough to cause chaos. Once they are more disorganised use the Pacifista's to hit them in the back, use the Shichibukai to engage the heavy hitting Division Commanders , thus leaving the three admirals to concentrate their efforts on killing Whitebeard. And I doubt even he can withstand three Admirals at once.
-
Anyone got a link to a site that hosted a decent scan? The 2 I regulatory go to does not have clean ones.

@Best:
no…the earthquakes are so enormous and powerful that they can be felt all over the world
the people in shabondy did not feel that one that caused the huge tsunami,and shabondy is very close to mf
Shabondy didn't feel the earthquake because that place is not an island!!!
http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/496/14/If I got the explanation right then it is just a floating forest.
-

Like I said, I am leaning more towards the guy shouting orders; the mustache/name makes a decent argument as well. The giant from the VA spread, however, is not the same as the guy from the giant squad who was taken down this chapter. One has white hair, one black. One has no apparent weapon, one has a giant axe. One has horns on his mask, one has nothing on his mask. Etc.
-
The sky island Nami is on has plants. I thought plants didn't grow in the sky islands? Maybe its just Skypea.
Now that I think about it, Giant jack was there before Jaya. And all those funny fruits. So never mind!
Or maybe I was thinking there was no soil. Yeah thats it right?
-

I don't think they're now in a Sky island. Probably they're going island to island showing how the clima rope works ( I don't remember the name XP). Last week Nami and the wizard are in a desert island like Arabasta.

No, they did have plants on Skypiea. Remember?

maybe coby will grow a back bone when he sees luffy again

- Shiryu was jailed becaused he abused his position in Impel Down and killed many prisoners.
Then, why Akainu is free and not in a jail!!? He kills his own men!!
Because Akainu is an admiral. Only sengoku and the WG leaders can give him orders.
Wasn't Morgan stripped of his rank on garps ship?
Wasn't shiryu put in jail because Magellan who had a different view on dealing with prisoners were in charge thus had the power to do it?Who is gonna stop akainu? He rules with absolute power. As long as he follows the orders…
-
Ronse was shown in the VA spread, I knew he was a VA of the giant squad but they were clearly referring to the french guy with the stereotypical french mustache as Lacroix (french name even).
Ah so can you point him out to me?
http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/553/10-11/http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/554/04-05/
I can see him here however, with the axe and the boba fett mask, next to the giant with the cap that goes down when they shout "vice admiral Lacroix!!!". In pretty much exactly the same way it happens in this chapter to Ronse.People responding to orders looks quite different, like here:
http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/554/04-05/
The focus is still on the people in the actual panel, either talking, or being talked about. Not an unknown voice shouting to a person that isn't seen. -
After this war who can say One Piece has no important death in present?
-
I'm expecting that Sengoku's plan is to somehow destroy the bay to defeat the pirates, at least a large portion (say like 90%) of them all in one swoop, while using Ace's early execution as bait (a distraction).
That's exactly what i was thinking about. Let them all flood in and completely destroy them in one shot. Would also explain why Akainu is behind deserters (not that he wouldn't have done it without this plan though…). The marines need everyone there to occupy the pirates.
-
If Oars gets up when this is all said and done how will you all react? I think he is dead, but you know…
Doflamingo's speech was pretty cool.
Also notice the Girafe captain. Probably the first of the Long Neck tribe that we found out exisited during the human auction.
I wonder what the Mario Bros, and the Chain Chomp wrangler are up to.
-
So unless Kuma takes off somewhere real quick, or has already, his line about Luffy never meeting him again is going to turn out to be wrong.
I was kidding when I said it last, but I'm starting to actually think that Luffy vs. Sengoku may be where this is heading. He's the guy right by Ace, we don't know what his strength is so he might not be too much for Luffy, and he's an extremely important person, so Luffy would play a big role in the war by fighting him.
-
@RPG:
maybe coby will grow a back bone when he sees luffy again
I'm actually hoping this will be the case. Otherwise, Coby's character just got flushed down the toilet.
I don't understand:
- Morgan was jailed because he was a tyrant and kill his men.
- Shiryu was jailed becaused he abused his position in Impel Down and killed many prisoners.

Don't give me the wrong impression please. This question has already been addressed with a much more plausible and consistent within the storyline answer.
Well that would be because there is a death sentance on fleeing in the middle of battle and endangering the lives of the men you are fighting with. Even if he hadnt killed him there, a firing squad would probably have done the job later on.
