Blackbeard and Ace…
Two D's fighting...
We haven't seen this one before! I'm excited about the result.
Is this the first chapter without any Mugiwara action???
I think Blackbeard's gonna win against Ace.
@AD-HD:
Anybody thinks a spear (or whatever) that Whitebeard use, maybe could be Roger´s? It would be kinda cool.
BTW: Awesome, pure awesome…
i considered making that my avatar too.
that scene also shows just how tall Whitebeard is man…....
this is the 1st spear since Krieg right?
oda is beyond godlike!!!
anyone else besides me noticed that the dude on page 017 besides marco/jozu is wearing the same hat and medallion as ace ?
which also makes me wonder, why is his tat so different from the rest of the other's

Nah, since that shandian guy I think…
Shura had a lance, not a spear.
I think he was talking about Kamakiri
Exactly Taleran. :P
okay seriously just the blade on that thing is the size of Shanks Upper Body…..WTF!!!
Y'know, I SO think that Marco and the other one are Zoranji's match. I'll go for the godzilla-Zoro match for now.
Also, I actually think Ace's fall asleep while they continue with their own business, although it sucks and shitted from hell. Or that Oda's planning to go with a blast of finishing with alot of unfinished business before going for the New World.
And..
ISN'T WHITEBEARD SICK?! HOW COME HE FIGHTS?! WHERE ARE THE NURSES?!
WE WANT NURSES!
Seriously, Maybe his condition is what will cause the nurses to stop him? That'll mean he has something to keep his condition to. Like a plan?
OMG Whitebead is planning to take over the world!!!! Or become the PK!
IMO I think the whole Ace hunts down BB alone is fishy, i think there is some weird connection between the both of them.. got some theories o-(>_o)o
A. maybe they work together (BB & Ace)
B. maybe its a whole big plot by WB (or by BB, if theory A is correct) to destroy or controlling the new world & WG!!!
C. everything is as oda told us, someone is gettin an asswhoppin its 5 VS 1! Sorry i think its to much for you, to be fighting BB and 4 kickass pirates…!
Why does everyone assume it'll be 5 on 1? Is there something I'm missing regarding that? I think that if Oda wants to make Blackbeard live up to the reputation of the only man who scarred Shanks it'd be silly to have a 5 on 1.

A. Blackbeard was Ace's subordinate by choice. Of course they worked together.
B. Hardly. Whitebeard doesn't give two shits about the WG. They're beneath his notice.
C. From what Shanks seemed to indicate, Blackbeard doesn't need his crew to beat Ace. And it looks like he either has an animal zone or uses claws to fight, based on the scar that he gave Shanks.
a Zoan DF
Claw like weapons
both possiblities
could also be paramecia
or
blackbeard "casued the wound" that doesn't mean it was with a weapon or directly him though

A. i said work, not worked
B. i dont think we can assume that as we dont really got anything from him, it seems to be pretty naive of him to think that he can send one pirate agaisnt a pirate like BB and if anyone knows of BB stregth its WB who worked with for so many years. for me it just doesnt seem that logical of a move by WB, i mean for being a such high up pirate he gotta have some brains for making his moves
C. it doesnt need to be about who beats who, pirates dont follow rules and pride aint worth that much
Does the big maybe-fishman type person behind Ben, Yasopp, Lucky Roux, and Rockstar remind anyone else of Tom?
New Yasopp reminds me of Hermes Costello from Jojo Part 6.
Weird chapter. What did they mean by a war?

(this chapter was so awsome for Avatars)
hehehehehe…... and Shanks is using one hand to block it....... either Whitebeard doesn't have the much strength as he used too or Shanks is really freaking strong!
Does the big maybe-fishman type person behind Ben, Yasopp, Lucky Roux, and Rockstar remind anyone else of Tom?
looks more like a "regular" human to me…
wow, their blades clashed and the heavens were sundered...
fighting those guys will be left for the very end of the story...
one thing though, even if Ace is being captured and handed over to the marines, wouldn't Whitebeard sent a rescue party anywayz?….. so, unless Luffy finds out about it, the mugiwaras are going to just continue on their journey, which from the looks of it...isn't going to be long, as Blackbeard is on his tail...... not to mention the numerous marines that are going to be on his tail too!
however, I don't think Luffy and the mugiwaras are going to engage the Blackbeard's crew as yet....... as the new ship might be too "fast" for Blackbeard's ship to catch up...... with "fate" being the word of play for Blackbeard again.....
cooool
i really like Yassops new look…
i can´t wait to find out what´s going to happen to Ace and the Strawhats(i hope there won´t be a BB vs. SH too soon)
Maybe Ace is good enough to take down Blackbeard and Shanks wants to stop him because he wants to take him himself.
I don't want Oda to show the Ace/BB fight so that his ablilities are kept as a surprise for later =p
great chapter! i never would have guessed whitebeard as a polearm user. also, this is pretty pointless, but i think you can see rockstar behind yassop & lucky roo, is that him?
I really wish people would stop calling it a "spear" it's ether a Glaive or a Naginata, which are weapons of a much different concept then a "spear".
It just keeps getting better. Incredible. I seriously can't wait for next week.
edit: oopsie, someone else did ask it already…
Yasopp keeps getting funkier and funkier looking - and looking more like his sone every day…
It looks similar to a Naginata, but remember that Whitebeard is about 20 feet tall, so the blade would be rather large. It can go either way.
Besides, it would make more sense if it was a spear. Roger fought with a spear (supposedly), so Whitebeard using the same weapon would make sense.
One other possibility for Blackbeard's fighting style is spiked knuckles or rings. If you notice in the last page, he has big ass rings on every single finger. Those rings also seem to argue against zoon type fruit as no animals are capable of wearing rings (save monkeys, which would be too ironic.)
If just one of those rings is seastone, we could see Blackbeard take down a firey Ace with a one hit K.O. I wouldn't put Blackbeard past using such dirty tricks. If you notice, his team is surrounded with unconscious/dead commoners and the WWF crewmate is carrying a giant bag of loot. These are not meant to be "good guys."
Also, Shanks seems to be using his shoulder to add some strength to his parry of whitebeard's attack. What is up with shank's sword, anyways? It's like a daikatana had a cutlass grip attached. How the hell does he unsheathe that monster with just one arm anyways? It's as long as he is.
…good lord, when was it ever said that Roger used a spear?
Page 69 of Light Purple Data Book, next to "Mihawk can cut elements" and "Lucky Roux is the fastest man in Grandline".
Seriously, though, is it that hard to accept? His name is Roger, which means "Famous Spearman" in German. The person he's modeled after, Woodes Rogers, used a spear in combat. And it's also a reference to the Spear of Longivus.
Another thing that points toward Roger using a spear is Zeff's comment about Luffy's "Spear" during the Krieg fight.
ps Lucci can beat Enel
Shanks owns people with his "spirit".
So he's a Jedi then…

<.<
Yay for forum drama!
I had forgotten how annoying it used to be to read chapter discussions, thanks for reminding me guys.
So anyway, Shanks is the man, Blackbeard is the man and Ace is going to get his butt kicked because he's a cocky punk who thinks his odds are good enough to take on 5 guys.
This is an amazing chapter. The past few weeks have been nothing but one awesome revelation after the next, and now Ace has finally found BB.
I can't say for sure how their fight will turn out whether there will be an clear winner or a tie, but I am sure that Ace will not defeat Blackbeard. Based on Shanks experience with him, BB is going to give Ace a tough time, and ultimately be a huge part of the story. You don't just name someone after history's most famous pirate and not expect him to do much.
I…am shaking in my seat for the next chapter. Are their going to start being deaths in One Piece?!?
It's quite obvious Ace will get crushed...hopefully, he'll die in an amazing, plot-moving way. And pleeeeaze no emo stuff Oda. The last thing we need is a Vegeta replacement.
D-Die?! No way! Ace's just gonna lose [and maybe get his will crushed, depends on how fairly he lost]. That's all OP is about in battles.
If we see Ace cry in front of Luffy or play strong face and cry alone when watched, that's gonna work way better than his death on me.
BB wins
BB goes poof
Ace struggling on the floor
Ace dies
Man, Whitebeard's size keeps changing.
Art error or hint that he can change size :P
Maybe Teach plans to use Ace as leverage against Luffy somehow… or vice versa. "You can't capture me, Fire Fist! I've got your little bro!" Or something like that.
Page 69 of Light Purple Data Book, next to "Mihawk can cut elements" and "Lucky Roux is the fastest man in Grandline".
Can you tell me if anyone has scanlated these Data Books? They seem very informative.
These last few chapters are full of so many revelations. O.O
Shanks and Buggy apprentices in Roger's crew?
Alright, there is one thing I'm having a hard time understanding. The reason why Shanks wants Whitebeard to stop Ace. First he's saying Blackbeard is a threat to them all, but he doesn't think Ace should go after him. Can somebody explain this to me better? :sad:
ps - Yasopp's dreadlocks keep getting sexier
First he's saying Blackbeard is a threat to them all, but he doesn't think Ace should go after him. Can somebody explain this to me better? :sad:
He thinks Ace is going to get 10 ****s kicked out of him.
Ace won't die are you nuts. But he will lost to BB and swear revenge on him. Maybe we will see next chap Dragon, because all the people Garp speaking of are shown until now so Dragon will definitly come.

Because he knows Ace will be beaten, and that will give Blackbeard the Shichibukai spot he's been going after for a while. Shanks probably thinks Blackbeard becoming a Shichibukai is the first step of his rise to power.
And it makes sense; if he stayed a regular pirate I doubt Blackbeard would ever pose a threat to Whitebeard, as he'd have to fight Shichibukais and Marine HQ. If he becomes a Shichibukai, he's safe against 2 Great Powers and can focus on taking Whitebeard's spot.
Giant revelations of world-altering proportions are so bittersweet…
To me, Whitebeard's power has always been a burning question. If he is the Strongest Man in the World, and the only one to tie Gold Roger in a fight, just what can he do when he gets serious? I've wondered the same about Shanks, and now I see that with their opening strikes they can part the heavens…!
I think this fight isn't a serious one, and will probably end before either of them shows their true power. I think that Ace & Blackbeard will also not have a genuine 1 vs 1 fight. This way, nobody will see how strong they are until later when Luffy will kick their asses!
Does this chapter let anyone think that Buggy might be stronger than he lets on? I mean for someone who was a apprentice to the world's greatest pirate and for someone who has connections to 2 of the Yonkou (I mean he knows them personally at least), he's awfully "weak," isn't he?
I think Buggy could be stronger than he lets on given the fact that I recently read the mini-story of mini-buggy and realized that his body alone beat the holy hell out of three cannibals who beat up his entire crew. Granted Buggy could have been controlling it from afar, but it goes to show that his physical strength may be greater than what we think. Sort of like Shanks, but to a lesser degree.
@Bad-Beat:
He thinks Ace is going to get 10 ****s kicked out of him.
He's just worried about Ace's saftey? It seemed like it went beyond that. :/ I'm not saying that Ace's life is a small matter, it just seems wierd that he would go to war with Whitebeard over that.
