6 buster call ship survived?
3 down?
1 originally taken out by their own buster call….

edit : after a close look, I think only 5 Buster Call ship survived.....4 were taken out by the currents and friendly fire...

I called that Kuzan was there watching it all along..and looks like he was there.......

the only thing that I don't get is why he didn't just froze the water and the mugiwaras will be sitting duck....

Ace

Oh yeah! Fantastic lookin chapter, thanks BF!

4ghost

Thanks Battle Franky. Just got to say I'm glad I was in the group that called the closed Gates of Justice.

Taz

Very nice moment when Robin thanked everyone.

Wow, the marine forces are reduced to such a pitiful state at the end, it's sad.

GODA_8000

Thanks for the chapter once again, Battle Franky.

Hooray, the Enies Lobby arc is over! Surprisingly, the SHs seem more animated in this chapter.

@Taz:

and Kuzan said it best…. "It's our complete defeat!"......

heads will roll back at marine hq after this.......... the backlash will be devastating if this whole incident is leaked out to the world.....

Pro's:

1. Ener landing on the moon.
2. Aokiji's return (it's great to see him).
3. Sanji triggering the closing of the Gate of Justice.
4. Sanji, Zoro, Usopp, and Franky fending off attacks.
5. Escaping Enies Lobby.

Con's:

1. Same old, same old.

…

All in all, this chapter is a win.

As always a big THX BF ^^ Aokiji finally showed up.. Great stuff, Oda's presenting

Malintex_Terek

Spandam's swollen face and Scarface's "…." are awesome too.

...

Ooh, and another ship was destroyed to boot.

kljs

@Malintex_Terek:

Spandam's swollen face and Scarface's "…." are awesome too.

it's been overshadow by Sanji, Luffy and Zoro's combo and the victory sign….

and "clutch" is the best word in the whole chapter!

Ganner_Rhysode · 9/2/2008

I reeally like the stance, with which Franky lands on Merrie's deck.. Fantastic XD

smashfanDS

Thank you Battle Franky!!! It has been quite a while since we had such a good chapter IMO.

Jirogomi

Thanks BF!!

I wonder if Fairy Vearth will live up to Enel's expectations? It might be hard for him having no one to rule/terrorise over…

mrpolo

Thanks BF ~~

Loved the 'V' sign by Sanji and Zoro

Skewt

Ok I was really bored, and it was bothering me, so I counted how many exclamation marks there were in this issue. 534 freaking exclamation marks in 19 pages.

kljs

didn't anyone notice Luffy is also showing the V sign?

cxtknight

@kljs:

Didn't notice until I saw your sig. Very funny

supaluigi

Thanks very much, Battle Franky. This looks like a great chapter!

kljs

@GODA_8000:

Didn't notice until I saw your sig. Very funny

and Luffy looks like bleeding somemore, and yet he still show the V sign….cool!

dewagila

thanks BF,

hey, its not only sanji and zoro making V sign, eve luffy make the V sign too …
LOL

kljs

I think a number of people missed Luffy's V sign…...

jinsj

It here the end of the arc

Riksu

thanks again, bf.

this was a really splendid end for the arc. as in, apart from the aftermath.
poor marines. only kinda not.

and i must brag that i totally noticed luffy showing the "victory"-sign. that panel cracked me up rather much.

Phlemingo

Ulp, incredible.

WarcoW

Excellent.
Thanks for the raw and the trans.

EDIT - i hope this isn't the last we see of those VAs

Juicy

Thanks for the chapter BF and for the translation Murasaki.

Great chapter overall. Eneru finally made to the moon although nobody will be there to see him gloat. Maybe he'll find Pandaman on the moon XD.
Now that Aokiji himself declared defeat we can get the closing chapters of this arc. Things that need to be done before this arc finishes:

New bounties(lookiing foreward to this the most)
A new ship(I don't think it will survive much longer). Oda did mention that the SH's would suffer a loss during this arc.
Luffy reconciling with Ussop, and asking him to rejoin the crew
Luffy reconciling with Franky, and ask him to join the crew as the shipwright
Getting all the stuff that the SH's left behind in the hotel room( Nami's orange trees and her waver for example)
Perhaps some closing thoughts on Robin's flashback

sabret00the

Thanks Battle Franky

kljs

about Ener, maybe the next one, we will see him being worship by moon rabbits! lol…

Forte EXE

claps hands

Congrats to Enel!

And AWESOME chapter.

Juicy

An oddity in this chapter that I noticed was on the last page. There was some confetti(sp?) flying around Go Merry to singal their victory. The SH's must have kept some aboard just for this occasion.

Serenity

Thanks Battle Franky, that was a great chapter~
