Thank you very much for the chapter. This was an extremely satisfying and enjoyable arc.
Agreed, and after all that i cant even imagine whats still left in store for us.

And so ends one of my most favourite arcs! Now to go back and reread it in all its glorious completeness…
To say the ending is anti-climatic is ridiculous; I suppose Whitebeard's death, Blackbeard's new ability, Shanks showing up, and Law's submarine out-swimming a freezing ocean and a hailstorm of laser beams just isn't good enough for some people.
I'm really hoping Oda's focus for the next few chapters is on the rest of the strawhats. A chapter each person would be nice so they don't all meet up and we never know about their adventures.
Oh shit. This fuck got serious.
Shanks on the scene, and WhiteStache and Ace are definately definately "no magic miracle comin' back to save 'em" dead.
Man, I said, Oda don't kill much but when he does, it's a fucking massacre.
Nice to see Shanks back. And Hawkeye refusing to fight him. I liked this chapter.
The reasoning behind ending the war was that both sides suffer heavy casualties and further bloodshed would be pointless? What heavy casualties? The Marines have all their top fighters still untouched, except for Akainu but he is still game. It's only Ace, Whitebeard, and Oaz Jr. that died. Still plenty of pirates left. The ones that got hurt or died were those weak fodders but those guys are meaningless. I'm suprise Sengoku would agree to stop. They still have a strong front. This is a good opportunity to take out as many top pirates. I see no reason to stop. It should have been a 3 way fight between Blackbeard Pirates, Shanks+whitebeard pirates, and Marines. Until most of the top guys are seriously hurt, then they can all call it a truce. But most of them didn't even break a sweet. The war ended too prematurely.
My point of view is that sengoku and BB thinks Shanks is way too strong! BB wasnt scared at all to go against sengoku and garp, but shanks calls BB and he flees, for me BOTH thinks Shanks would crush them! Shanks+BB would win the marines and shanks+marines would win BB So they decide to stop fighting, both sides…
I think that next the chapter will be about the pirates departure and WB's and Ace's funeral.
Ending with a funeral instead of a party…would definitely be different than usual, but that is to be expected with the turns that One Piece has taken. I like it.
I cant belive people are still talking about ROCKSTAR he was a newbie pirate when he was introduced ( fodder, still he had 97 bounty at the time that was high but compared to the new world that is very low still good for crew, note that wen rockstar says iam well known marco never heard of him) currently shanks has 9 main crew members all strong (10 if u include the monkey but i assume he fights with that creappy guy). is it just me or did lucky get fatter lmao
omg moria's face is so epic :)
So that's it?
This is why I don't put my trust in man.
I think that next the chapter will be about the pirates departure and WB's and Ace's funeral.
If that's the case, I bet Crocodile goes with them. We might actually learn something of his past and of his future.

If you thought Merry's funeral was heart wrenching…
You ain't seen shit yet.
People keep saying that the ending was anti-climatic, but isn't that the meaning of ceasefire (all sides agreeing to put down their weapons). They had a ceasefire, the war was over. We can now move on with the rest of the story.

People think this is the last chapter of the arc so it's gotta be full of explosions, white eyes, and Luffy yelling how everything is right with the world. The climax was a few chapters ago with the big double deaths, then things start to settle and somehow people forget all the absolutely zanny revalations that came to be. Dopes.

I'll ready my tear ducts.
Who am I kidding. I'm gonna cry harder than ever before.
Awesome Chapter!
2 Complaints:
As far as this being anti-climactic, I disagree. It was short and too the point, this is the resolution of the arc after all. It was hinted at last week that Shanks was there to end the war. It ended and was nice and concise. The climax happened weeks ago.
If anything there were a few moments of climax (this was like a multiple orgasm) in this arc.
Also, Buggy is the MAN!
From a purely Marine perspective he was captured with a 15 mil bounty, broke free from his ID cell, revealed unknown (to them) DF powers, helped organize a jailbreak with Strawhat Luffy (who burnt down EL), made it to Lvl 5 before disappearing (having caused a riot on Lvl2). Shows Up again causing another riot and helping commandeer a marine vessel for the break-out of numerous prisoners. Shows up on Marinford and takes hits from 2 admirals, helps Luffy escape, then helps Shanks end the war.
To the Marines and his followers Buggy must look like the ultimate badass. And, with Shiki (from the movie which is cannon) waiting 20 years to make a move, this must seem like a grand plan years in the making.
Buggy for 4th Yonkou!
this was probley the best OP arc ever. ace & whiteberds funeral are going to 100 times sadder then merry
s and i will cry a ocean.

I doubt it - moreso be the grieving period with Luffy reminiscing about the past with Ace. Problem is we the viewers do not have the connection with Ace that we did with Merry, while you can share the emotion empathetically it will only be that. Even the Ace Fan(boi/grrls) while obsessed with him will not have the same feeling they would had Ace been central to several years of the journey they shared.
Also to tidy up some older things in the thread - on the Shanks vs the Smokebomb - the guy dropped the smokebomb not as a hostile gesture but as a fleeing gesture. So with no hostile attack incoming he would have been happy to let the guy run - it was the taking Luffy with him that Shanks didn't anticipate.
Vs the Seaking all I could say is it was a plot device something that needed to happen and can not be explained away so you either accept it or get all fanatical about it. Won't make his arm regrow but I like that he keeps the left side covered, makes you wonder if somehow he has somehow gotten a left arm and he is keeping that a secret.
Like Sanji eventually showing us what's behind the hair.
Yeah, I was looking at Romance Dawn too! And, like a previous poster, I only saw the bald guy (at least I think it was him), and the pony-tail guy in that same page…LoL.
Regardless, I thought it pretty cool to see a spread of Shanks' crew. Though, what I want to know is: Is Yasopp's hair really supposed to be blonde?
When I see his dark hair, I can't help but think he looks better that way, and seeing him in the recent spread only makes me think it even moreso. Who the hell decided he was to be blonde!? The anime? /mindless griping.
especially if his hair's been black since Romance Dawn…

A SHARINGAN!!! Oh well, the jokes been here for a while but I still cant help myself.
So just to clear things up, when will we get the next chapter? Two weeks later right?

Oda did.
[hide] Technically, it's a dirty blonde [/hide]
Lame anti-climactic ending to such an epic war.
So we're going on a break, which will likely return with some sort of time skip (whether it be a week or years). Luffy will be waking up. In the event the time skip is longer, all the SH's might be together, and we'll be told their stories in a series of flashbacks.
OR
We get some side stories on the other Strawhats immediately.
Was watching return of the king and had an revelation. My ch 581 prediction
Someone from Narutofan Forums claims to have found Rockstar in this chapter.
http://www.mangastream.com/read/one_piece/580-92/5
Center panel on the far left side…
Im not familiar with English idioms, but what does SAVE FACE mean?
I think it was already answered:
Isn't the character to the right of Lucky and Yasopp, in the Red haired pirates crew panel, Rockstar? O.x
http://www.mangastream.com/read/one_piece/580-92/10
He looks similar to me matching the picture to the wiki.
http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Rockstar
He has the same pointy cheek thing in his facial structure.
Edit:Admittedly their teeth and eyebrows look differently but many of the characters on Shanks crew look different then their old pictures but you can still tell it's them.
I don't know maybe I'm wrong but I think that's a poorly draw picture of him since he's so far of to the side and behind people. :/ His mouth being open also makes it hard to tell.
Oda did.

[hide] Technically, it's a dirty blonde [/hide]
Then, I retract my statement if Oda colored it as so. Still, his hair looks closer to brown than blonde if anything. But oh well. Don't know what it is about his darker hair though, but I like it like that moreso than thinking it to be blonde.
Anyways, thank you.
ON that note, from the picture you posted, we can see another crewmate that appeared in the recent chapter spread. So far, ones Oda's brought back were:
Okay, maybe it might not be the same monkey that was in the bar with them back then, but you never know…
^I don't think that's Rockstar; The nose, eyes, brow, forehead, hair….none of them match what Rockstar looked like when he was first introduced....
...unless it's him turning zoan or something. Just sayin'...
Here's hoping the monkey is a knife fighter.
@Muda: Yeah, someone made that same correlation within the actual chapter thread. However, it's much nicer that you have a side-by-side comparison shot.
i just thought of something. couldn't blackbeard get to the new world by destroying a huge chunk of the redline? now that he has the quake fruit it is certainly possible. that way people could come in and out of the new world easily and maybe luffy could even backtrack if he needed to without having to go through fishman island. with san juan wolf on his crew i think it is going to be hard to travel to fishman island and i doubt blackbeard is going to go through mariejoa to get to the new world so maybe he ends up destroying a huge chunk of the redline. since shanks and all the whitebeard pirates and allies are going back to the new world then they are all going through fishman island to get back. i don't think blackbeard would be able to go through that route without encountering a bunch of fights.
Tsuru: Fleet Admiral, you sure you are leaving the bodies of Ace and WB to shanks? U know every well what they can do with it.
Sengoku: We are too weakened to have a choice now.
Shanks: Crew Retreat! and yassop….
...prepare for the revival ritual.
OP Fans: Fuck you oda!
I have a feeling Ace and WB's funeral won't do too much to my tearducts. Well, mainly Ace's.

i hope oda shows what a pirate funeral looks like. one of the things we haven't seen in one piece is pirate funerals.
I liked this chapter. Not something I can call great like usual, though, since it indeed is kinda underwhelming due to the ending somewhat rushed. Nevertheless, I like how things ended in a peaceful way rather than stretching on with more bloodshed.
Can't wait for Ace's and WB's funeral. Tears will overflow, definitely.
I feel a storm coming but we've seen shanks in basically all the openings ince the begginng and especially around those 3 other people mainly which are all gunners and maybe special in other areas. We all know Oda makes importance of a character in an opening and makes a later reference to them such as Black beard, Tashigi, and Smoker. We now see tashigi and Smoker coming in to play but after luffy leaves Oda will leave no detail about the war until they (Mugiwaras) reach a tv station or get a newspaper of some sort IF the WG decides to put a horrible loss in a newspaper XD so if there are any predictions on Shanks or whatever then shoot.
BTW if your gonna curse me out or some crap DON'T POST I know that you know that after the last chapter you have some more questions about Shanks.
I know i wanna know the names of those four people (only the fatso's name wasn't said i believe) we already know Yassop and insert forgotten name here goes to read the chapeter again
An old character appears after a time in the story again and you guys open a new senseless thread for this character without even knowing Shanks' closest crewmates:
-Lucky Roux
-Ben Beckman
-Yasoppe
Go play the PS2-game "OP - Grand Adventure", in that game Shanks has those three guys as his support characters.
@Muda Muda no Mi:
Nice find and posting the panels, dude! THANKS!
I also recognized the bald crewmate (cause he appears in the anime also when Mihawk and Shanks met) and the one with the hat, but its amazing that you even found the one with the ponytail.
Maybe lion-guy is the grown up rockstar.:ninja:
That leaves only the one in the background with the long hair and sun glasses.
NO APRIL FOOLS THIS YEAR?!!
…me disappointed...
dissapointed that ben beckman's threat was hollow. Kizaru did whatever he damned liked, and ben beckman didn't bother to stop him.
Read the chapter, was a good chapter, but will say it once again, the war ended to promptly and perhaps unrealistically.
Really like The Red Hair Pirates
I'm wondering after reading this chapter, whether Shanks considers Dragon his enemy…
The way I understand it, I think aside from Shank's freedom, he also wants to take down Dragon. It's interesting that we didn't get a comment by Ivankov on Shanks, in fact I doubt she was even conscious/alive when he arrived. It would certainly be an interesting twist if the second great war was between The Red Hairs and the Revolutionaries, but if the SH's were also involved (and split down the middle between the two sides, Robin owes the revolutionaries a favor…)
That's all, tldr thanks for reading.
I really like Buggy's new crew =p
Imagine him in a Davy Back fight now!
"Uuuuh.. I'm too lazy, you! Level 5 prisoner, go fight them on your own!"

Shame over Oda that he let Beckman fail

His new crew are only Level 2 and Probably one as well :ninja:
So here's the rest of what I'm guessing is the main crew. Any theories on em? Also.. MONKEY! YOSH!
Funnily enough, the monkey is the only one of the guys on that spread (other than Shanks, Beckman, Roo and Yasopp) that already has a name. If he is the monkey that was celebrating with the Red Hair pirates in chapter 1 that is. If yes, he goes by the unspectacular name of "Monster" as can be seen here:
[hide][/hide]
It was a good chapter. The next chapter will either be the funeral of Ace and White beard or it will skip to Luffy being treated. That's what I think any way. But it was nice to see Shanks again. I think that Black Beard is going to be other devil fruit powers, but it's to early to tell.
Yassop is Wearing a Super Hero Cap
His new crew are only Level 2 and Probably one as well :ninja:
Lookie here
[hide]
ooooh can you see it ?:ninja:
[/hide]
Buggy's followers are ALL ID prisonners (except lvl 6 guys naturally)
And these guys escaped the great gaol of Impel Down and survived the biggest war in history between marines and pirates. Not bad.
Great finale, loved it :)
i hope we will see something about magellan now in the next episodes…
aaannnndddd SH reuniting is now NEAR!!
