@kevo_koma:

I am a little bit confused with the G-5 marines, as it was stated they have no order and presumably no discipline, they are more or less like Pirates heck they even look like them(I think they are the first marines we have ever seen acting this way), So why are they still functioning if Akainu is the Fleet admiral, I don't think he is the type that can condone such behavior from his men and especially leaving them in a Marine base, I don't know they don't seem to fit into what I pictured the Marines to be when we heard Akainu was fleet Admiral.

First, it takes time for a new leader to put his "stamp" on an entire army. Regardless of that, you are always going to have people that will not follow orders irregardless of who is in charge.

@kevo_koma:

There are also some confusing things about Jinbei. Basically, unless I am wrong, he kind of "gave" FI to big Mum, and I don't get why, Fishman Island was whitebeards territory and unless they were disbanded the Whitebeard pirates should be defending his territories, but Jinbei kind of ignored this and asked Big Mum for help?? I don't know something just doesn't add up, and why did Blackbeard allow Big Mum to take such a valuable and strategic territory, since he has apparently conquered most of the others, why did he leave FI alone long enough for Jinbei to make his deal with Big Mum?
Isn't jinbei leaving with the straw hats and inevitably going up against Big mum kind of make him become an oath breaker? because I am assuming the candy thing was part of the agreement that Jinbei obviously consented to, so him claiming to be going against Big Mum to me seems kind of out of character.

Pure speculation, but I don't think the Whitebeard Pirates are strong enough to proclaim that entire areas in the New World are under their protection. Jinbe did what was best for Fishman Island. Big Mum is an extremely powerful pirate and a great candidate to carry on Whitebeard's role as protector of the island and therefore keep relative peace.

There isn't any important reasons why Blackbeard would care about Fishman Island.

So based on what I have read in Mangastream regarding Akainu and Aokiji, it makes me wonder who exactly makes the decisions in the World Government.

So you have the retiring Fleet Admiral recommending Aokiji and you have some in the "upper" echelons of the Government pushing Akainu.

Kind of wondering where Kong and the Celestial Dragons fit into this picture with regards to decision making as oppose to two Admirals fighting it out to settle things.

BTW, when does the Aokiji for new crew mate start ?

@Baou:

Im surprised that the government would allow Aojiki to roam free,especially with that power,I would think theyed lock him in Impel Down.

I guess I kind of am as well. After all, they wouldn't allow Sengoku or Garp to outright quit the Marines.

More importantly, the guy surely has a lot of knowledge about the inner workings of the government and some tightly held secrets.

But as already stated, it isn't like he is a criminal.

Sweet chapter, lots of information.

Kind of sucks that Aokiji is not in the Marines anymore but I have to admit, it would have been odd to see Akainu reporting to him. It would interesting if Aokiji decided to turn pirate.

So the stage is being set for the Straw Hats to save the world from two extremes, the Blackbeard Pirates and this new Marine Corp styled after the extreme Akainu.

Sweet chapter.

And congrats to all those who predicted Jinbei would join the crew, I never thought a former Warlord/Former Warlord would join.

Good chapter as always.

I love the concept of a Devil Fruit that allows a user to aim at a target and be able to hit it from any distance.

I wonder if the user has to have met the target or just know exactly where it is?

Anyway, you know it is coming so I will start it off:

Princess Shirahoshi for nakama!!!

Man, what an epic "tease" this chapter ended on.

I am extremely interested to see what Robin was looking for and who is Tom-san's relative Franky went looking for.

Good chapter.

Interesting chapter.

if Hodi Jones is the "Boss" of Fishman Island, then I think Fishman Island is going to be a disappointment.

If this is the case, I am hoping there will be other big revelations such as Fishman Island having a Poneglyph, a Big Mam introduction and learning more about the Celestial Dragons.

@Therrester:

So, from what I got from this chapter, after the war, Jinbe returned to Fishman Island but, since he lost his Warlord status, the discrimination was too much and he went into exile with the original members of the Fishman Pirate. This probably lead to the creation of the New Fishman Pirate. Brilliant.

I didn't come to the same conclusion about Jinbe.

Keimi seems to indicate that since Jinbe lost his Warlord Status that he and and everyone associated with him had to leave Fishman Island. The pressure most likely came from the World Government ala the Marines.

In general, I think Jinbe's message is going to denote another meetup spot in the New World.

Also, I would not be surprised if Jinbe has joined forces with the Whitebeard Pirates.

Why would any member of Arlong's family give the Straw Hats an opportunity to join their crew, which is what the New Fishman Pirates did.
