Sure enough. Blackbeard is a pirate God
Chapter 577 "The Incident Continues to Escalate"

That is a very interesting comment by Shiryuu.
Seems like the arrival of Blackbeard will help the Alliance escape.
I thought Shiryuu was referring to the risk/unsuccessful rate of the "stunt" that BB is performing under the black sheet?
-
Wow. Whitebeard was 72 yrs old??? I expected Mid-60's at the very least. Which makes him even more impressive.

Jinbei: Luffy… hang in there, you must live!!
You must live through this world without Ace... tomorrow and the day after it!Marine: fire!
Jinbei: You have to live on strong!!(Flashback)
Ace: Jinbei... if I die like this, I'm sorry but can you take care of my bro?
Jinbei: I hate to say this, Ace... but you're overestimating me. I'm not that kind a person...
Even if he is your brother, this is a world of piracy.
The only one I would lend my hands to is the one I respect myself.page 8
Pirate: Jinbei, get on this one!
Jinbei: gotcha!!
Pirate: huh!?? Damn, the sea is frozen!!
Pirate: Do something about it!! We can't set sail like this!!
Someone stop Aokiji!!!page 9
Akainu: When I said "I won't let you go"... you need to give up living, you fools
WB Commander: Akainu!!! He's still alive!?
NW Captain: He melted the earth and came around through it!!page 10
Akainu: Hand over the son of Dragon... Jinbei
Jinbei: I can't do that. I've vowed to protect this man with my life!
Akainu: Fine then... I won't ask you ever againpage 11
Pirate: Protect Ace's brother!! Ace's family is OUR family!!
Ivankov: Out of the way, Jinbei!! I won't let him touch Strawhat boy!! HEEEEEEL WINK!!!page 12-13
Marine: Blackbeard came out!! What was he doing inside...?
There's nothing wrong with Whitebeard's body!! And nothing wrong with Blackbeard....Teach: Marines!! I'll show you what power really is like
We're going to be enemies again... ZehahaTeach: Black Hole!!
Marine: whoa, what the!??
Teach: That was my Yami-Yami fruit power!!
Teach: and.... this
Marine: ! What !?
Marco: That pose....!!page 14-15
Marine: What....!!! That was the Gura-Gura fruit power!!
How is it that he can use the power of the dead Whitebeard!?
Teach: Zehahahahaha!!
Jesus: Weeee Haha!! You did, Captain!
WB Commander: Pop's quake powers!!? What's going on!? That bastard Teach!!!
Laffitte: hohoTeach: Zehahaha!! My Darkness gravity can nullify everything!! And now with the Earthquake power to destroy everything!!
With this in my possession, I have no equals!! I am the strongest!!!page 16-17
Marine: I don't know what he did, but.... he stole Whitebeard's power!! How is that possible!?
Marine: Then the threat of the Gura-Gura fruit... hasn't left us!!Pirates: I thought it was impossible to have two Devil Fruit powers at the same time...!!
Marco: Yeah, a "normal human being" would be impossible to.
But as you guys know well... Teach is a little different!!
His body structure is... abnormal! That may be what caused this...!?Teach: Hey, did you see, you guys? Zehahahaha!!
Crowd: are we seeing a nightmare!?
Teach: Alright, tell the world now!! Those pathetic island dwellers that love peace!!
Marines!! World Government!! And... the Pirates!! The future of this world has been decided....
Zehahahahaha!! That's right, from now on....This is MY ERA!!!End

Whoa, WB is older than is grandmother.
-
I thought Shiryuu was referring to the risk/unsuccessful rate of the "stunt" that BB is performing under the black sheet?
Yes, Shiryuu was basically saying, "If Teach isn't able to steal Whitebeard's power then what is Plan B".
I just thought it was interesting because it kind of implicitly tells the audience that without Whitebeard's power, the Blackbeard Pirates would have a very tough time on the battlefield.
Wow. Whitebeard was 72 yrs old??? I expected Mid-60's at the very least. Which makes him even more impressive.
Yeah, I thought he was in his 60's as well.
-
So he had 50 years when he fighted with Roger!!!?
-
Well the sheet makes me think that the 2nd thing BB wanted the shishibukai status for, is to abduct/meet/… Vegapunk.
-
Thanks Aohige
and now i can finally go to sleep (different time zone here) -
Got a theory on how BB did it.
Maybe this one is a bit absurd, but if it's true u heard it here first^^
BB has somehow a connection to Shiki. Shiki said his plan would take 20 years to be started/fulfilled. The time is now. Maybe it was about getting WB's power to rule the world. Earthquakes are feared by all people. As Shiki was too old he passed his will/dream to rule the world down to BB, his little brother or maybe even his son (they are both ugly) or clone.The clone was created by Vegapunk. Vegapunk is the guy on Shikis side in chapter 0. He seems to know a lot about stuff like Devilfruits and machines or whatsoever.
He found out about the secrets of DF's and the secret to steal the powers of other users and didn't tell it the WG.Well, what do you think?^^
-
thx aohige for those quick trans
let`s see what we got here in the full chapter..
-
now after that it's said and done what about ace's df?
-
So he had 50 years when he fighted with Roger!!!?
That's exactly what I was thinking. He really had a late peak.

The guy on shiki's side is Dr. Indigo… And shikis plan is something different, it has to do with some special plants and giant animals.

Thanks for the translations, Aohige.
Jinbei just had a tragic flashback. He's the next nakama.~

gotta go translate a diff manga now. ciao later

Buggy+Luffy vs. Blackbeard for the final fight.
Edit- Also <3 Aohige.

The only part I would disagree with is the notion that Vegapunk has information about how a person can eat more than one Devil Fruit.
I think it would be more likely that Vegapunk would know of "a single" Devil Fruit that allows someone to eat more than one Devil Fruit and maybe this is how Teach knew about the Yami Yami no mi.
As to how Teach is able to do it, whether it is his body or the Devil Fruit, my thing is, why would Teach wait years on Whitebeard's ship to get the Yami Yami no mi, if his body is what allows him to eat more than one Devil Fruit?
I still say that the Yami Yami no mi is what gives him this ability and not his body.
-
Wll people stop going on about BB absorbing every other DF power. He doesn't need any other power. He has the 2 ultimate powers. The power to nullify & power to destroy. What possible reason would he want any other power besides that?
-
thank you for the trans aohige! you're the best ;)

I smoshed Aohige's tranlation into one in case someone needs it for some reason.

Why the sheet? it's gonna drive people mad not knowing what BB did…even more insane imagining what BB might have done :ninja:
Jinbei being part of the strawhat crew looks more likely now. That flashback confirmed it was the last will of Ace. The Knight of the Sea will now protect the future Pirate King. Or not.

With this in my possession, I have no equals!! I am the strongest!!!So I'm speculating here, but he either doesn't want to grab up anymore DF powers or he can only take up one? Maybe?

Marco: Yeah, a "normal human being" would be impossible to.
But as you guys know well... Teach is a little different!!

And I just love the end of the chapter. Man, that's gonna make a great episode!Oh yeah, and I almost forgot. Thank you for the translation Aohige!
-
thanks for the raw and translation everyone
-
I now have to wonder if Blackbeard stole got the Yami-Yami fruit from Satch before OR after he ate it!?
-
First, I am going to predict that Blackbeard is going to use the Gura Gura no mi and inadvertently break the ice or he is going to absorb Ace's power and inadvertently break the ice.
I am a little disappointed in Akainu. The biggest and baddest Pirate stands before him laying seige to Marineford and yet the guy only focuses on a Rookie that simply has "potential" to be dangerous.
Not sure why Sengoku doesn't take charge and declare that all able Marines should focus on Blackbeard?

We did get a Akainu reaction shot right at the end, so he is turning attention to BB.
I would think Garp would do well against BB. After all, he fought Roger plenty of times, he uses haki and of course his punches are stuff of legend.
Draw him into a close quarter and just hammer him with lotsa punches. I'd think Sengoku & WB are old rivals, so they fought many times as well. Garp-Sengoku vs BB. -
This is a strong, strong, strong, strong, strong point for the 'Jinbei will join' party…
Yep, that's what i was thinking too when i read this. Damnit, i don't really want him to join. But he's still better than Hancock and Iva.
And i am pretty sure one of them will join, most likely Jimbei -.- -
Why the sheet? it's gonna drive people mad not knowing what BB did…even more insane imagining what BB might have done :ninja:
Jinbei being part of the strawhat crew looks more likely now. That flashback confirmed it was the last will of Ace. The Knight of the Sea will now protect the future Pirate King. Or not.
Out of curiosity, why do you say that?
I think Jinbei will serve as a protector for Luffy during this arc and will get him safely to Rayleigh or maybe Amazon Lilly.
I don't see Jinbei joining. After Fishman Island, I see his character being marginalized.
-
That Flashback makes me think Jinbei will join the Straw hat crew. I can't see another important character dieing this arc…
-
This is a strong, strong, strong, strong, strong point for the 'Jinbei will join' party…
It would be completely awesome for Jinbei to join but Im not really comfortable adding a member who's strength is equal to or more likely surpasses the Captain. Thats also the only reason why I'm iffy about Hancock joining, although she's my top candidate for joining right now
-
Oh great…Jimbei really feels responsible for Luffy now. Please please don't end up on the SH crew.
Well, there is the fact that Ace wasn't a part of Luffy's crew and yet Ace asked Jinbei to do it in place of him. And obviously there would be no way that Ace would ask Jinbei to actually join Luffy's crew. So he could do the protecting now and through Fishman Island but then they separate. But I can't deny that it is a strong point for the Jinbei supporters.
-
Yep, that's what i was thinking too when i read this. Damnit, i don't really want him to join. But he's still better than Hancock and Iva.
And i am pretty sure one of them will join, most likely Jimbei -.-Luffy & Dragon will meet pretty soon. Maybe Ivankov & Inazuma will hook up with Luffy temporarily and take him to where Dragon is.
I just don't see Jimbei joining Luffy. He is still the Fishman Pirates captain.
-
Wow a readable raw! I guess that my WEEKS of complaining have finally paid off! And what a chapter! The spoilers were pretty vague about how Blackbeard got Whitebeard's power, and now the chapter itself is even MORE VAGUE than the spoilers! Hopefully this isn't a puzzle that we have to wait five hundred chapters to see figured out. I don't know if I could take it.
I forgot in my haste to say thanks… So THANK YOU to all that made the raw possible!
-
Scientists have confirmed that the number of twin conceptions greatly outnumbers the number of actual twin births. Some estimates offer that 1 in 8 people started life as a twin, while in reality only 1 in 70 actually are a twin.
So, most likely blackbeard is a freak who has a fetus in his back.
And the sheet has devil fruit powers, and was the true reason that he went to impell down
And blackbeard already had the bunny zoan
And shinryu thought that it would fail because Blackbeard should have exploded right there.
And Jimbei can't join on a dream as retarded as that.
-
Thanks Kaze, huron & Ao.
lol at the BB the magician. :D
-
Out of curiosity, why do you say that?
I think Jinbei will serve as a protector for Luffy during this arc and will get him safely to Rayleigh or maybe Amazon Lilly.
I don't see Jinbei joining. After Fishman Island, I see his character being marginalized.
Purely speculation so it isn't set in stone. It's a likelihood because the flashback indicates it was Ace's last wish. That could be very important to the plot as being a strong hint that Jinbei will join the crew. Jinbei himself is titled the 'Knight of the Sea', he's certainly not a leader per se as Croc or Boa have been. A knight without a King even.
In the 1988 film Excalibur, Lancelot goes around defeating all challengers until he is defeated by Arthur, and he decides to serve Arthur as being a worthy King (for having bested him).
Or it could just be a temporary thing as you suggest in that Jinbei simply escorts Luffy to the next safest port.
-
Please please don't end up on the SH crew.
I don't see Jimbei joining but I believe he will be a "major" character until the end of the Fishman Island Arc, but he won't join.
Well, looks like Luffy's just inherited a whole crew of brothers.
Yep, in losing one brother, Luffy gained several new brothers that will help support him in the New World. I believe every member of the alliance has profound respect for the way Luffy performed on the battle field. Also, that flashback of Ace and Jimbei is implicitly stating that Jimbei has respect for Luffy and that is huge considering Jimbei was a former Shichibukai and no slouch.
We did get a Akainu reaction shot right at the end, so he is turning attention to BB.
I would think Garp would do well against BB. After all, he fought Roger plenty of times, he uses haki and of course his punches are stuff of legend.
Draw him into a close quarter and just hammer him with lotsa punches. I'd think Sengoku & WB are old rivals, so they fought many times as well. Garp-Sengoku vs BB.I'm waiting for Mangastream before looking at any pictures, so I haven't seen any but a lot of people said the same thing you said with regards to Akainu starting to focus on Blackbeard.
As far as your comments on Garp, man, I am really starting to think that Garp may be killed by Blackbeard in this battle. Besides the training of Coby, Garp really has kind played out his role and I really could see Garp going down at the hands of Whitebeard and this could be Oda showing us that regular Haki users don't have a chance against Blackbeard.
A lot of people feel that Coby is going to be a VA or Admiral in the future and this war would serve as a great way to open up some of the positions. Coby wouldn't immediately become an VA or Admiral but maybe they don't fill those positions into later in the story.
-
This might be a stretch, but I don't believe the ability to consume two devil fruits has anything to do with the Yami Yami no Mi.
My suspicion is it has more to do with the "Will of D."
It has been stated over and over again about something being special about those with the Will of D. And though I have no facts until Oda states something along those lines, it seems like a plausible theory. After all, no normal person can have more than one devil fruit, but the D.'s are not ordinary people…
Just my thought....
-
**I was wondering how Oda was going to make Blackbeard a top-tier, so this is how.
And it seems that if there is a timeskip, Jimbei joining the crew is probably gonna happen.**
-
Yes, Shiryuu was basically saying, "If Teach isn't able to steal Whitebeard's power then what is Plan B".
I just thought it was interesting because it kind of implicitly tells the audience that without Whitebeard's power, the Blackbeard Pirates would have a very tough time on the battlefield.
Yeah, I thought he was in his 60's as well.
Imo he meant that if it failed Blackbeard would die like normal people from two fruits. He only joined BB pirates for teach, thats why he would leave if he died.
-
Damn, given the translation, Marco's line really is confusing as hell. I'm still leaning towards it all being due to his fruit power, but what the hell Oda? Oh, and I might as well repost the conversation Greg and I had; well, other people were involved as well…
Student of mine came to me with an interesting theory he read on a Japanese board:
[…] the author suggests that Teach may have more than one DF within him and that one is a Zoan, possibly tiger. How is this possible? Since the power of the Yami Yami fruit absorbs even DF's power, is it possible that more than one can exist in his body via the power of that particular fruit?
The whole absorption thing definitely makes it plausible…
Shanks never suggested the scar was given to him by BB with the Yami Yami power. He could have eaten the Zoan fruit THEN the Yami Yami.
But isn't it the Yami Yami fruit that would have allowed him a second fruit?
They're suggesting that the nature of the fruit in being in his body, absorbs the power of the other. It doesn't matter which way you take it. If the moment you bite into a DF you gain it's power, that means that the moment he bit the Yami Yami fruit, it suppressed/absorbed/I-don't-know-what his other fruit's power. By the nature of having the Yami Yami fruit, he can absorb/hide the other power, then unleash it when needed.
Perhaps that is the word I should have chosen. Having eaten the Yami Yami fruit he may be able to neutralize the so-called 'curse' and store multiple powers within him.
One more time. The author of the theory suggested that in eating the fruit, with the fruits innate ability to neutralize DF powers it's possible that it may react the same way to OTHER PAST EATEN, PRESENT OR FUTURE DF'swithin a single person.
-
Yep, that's what i was thinking too when i read this. Damnit, i don't really want him to join. But he's still better than Hancock and Iva.
And i am pretty sure one of them will join, most likely Jimbei -.-I think Iva has his matter with Dragon and Hancock either won' t lose her Shichibukai title or, in that case, she won' t leave her island to its destiny. Jinbei is the only candidate IMHO…
It would be completely awesome for Jinbei to join but Im not really comfortable adding a member who's strength is equal to or more likely surpasses the Captain. Thats also the only reason why I'm iffy about Hancock joining, although she's my top candidate for joining right now
Yep, that bothers me too, but it' s time to start finding some really strong nakamas, or Blackbeard will eat Luffy alive when their time comes…
-
Damn, given the translation, Marco's line really is confusing as hell. I'm still leaning towards it all being due to his fruit power, but what the hell Oda? Oh, and I might as well repost the conversation Greg and I had; well, other people were involved as well…
I'm going to go with my dumb-ass theory in the spoiler thread, that because he Might have a partial twin in him, it allowed him a bit of time for him to absorb the Zoan DF out of him.
-
As far as your comments on Garp, man, I am really starting to think that Garp may be killed by Blackbeard in this battle. Besides the training of Coby, Garp really has kind played out his role and I really could see Garp going down at the hands of Whitebeard and this could be Oda showing us that regular Haki users don't have a chance against Blackbeard.
I've been thinking about that too. Garp is one of the few old timers left and considering what's happened lately there isn't much left to happen with him. I can only see him either retiring at some point or dying.
And Garp vs BB would be a pretty interesting battle IMO.
Course, that would just give Luffy one more reason to really hate BB.
