>>268129502O MY WHALE SHARKS
Sweet, only 570 plus some yet unreleased chapters to go
o7
So we embark forward to save Ace, but without our dear friend...End of Chapter.Tomorrow: Battleship
>>268129965>>268129997>Satisfaction That's why he's THE BEST. THE BEST!Thanks OP.
>>268129902every time. every time he keeps sacrificing himself again for the sake of his friends. He can't keep getting away with it
>>268129707>once that ship goes through the gate close it right away! Understand?>yes, sir!those have to be the most braindead staff-members of all time
>>268129836>the wings are just part of the uniformI'm weirdly disappointed
>>268130031Thanks OP for the daily OP!Bon, OUR HERO!
>>268130771Would you talk back to your boss if he was a walking lethal poison?
>>268129864>>268129902>>268130031Thanks for the read, OP
>>268129764I hope Luffy goes back and frees him one day.>>268129799>he was a sussy baka>>268129902O7>>268130031Thanks, OP.
>>268129997>on this day 241 prisoners succeeded in escapingdoes that figure include blackbeard's level 6 prisoners?
>>268130031Thank you OP.
>>268129902o7One of the best characters
>>268129836>>268129864>>268129902I didn't think this moment would actually make me cry...
>>268130031Thanks OP
>no oden0/10 worthless chapter
>>268130460>SatisfactionI don't get itWhat did he mean by it?
>>268129902MY FUARKING HERO FOREVER
>>268130031o7 Thanks OP, this stretch is such a great read.
>>268129902Manliest character in OP.>>268132129What do you mean? There are no level 6 silly.
>>268129502>I'm gonna change my waysDo you think he actually does?
>>268129902;_;7What a terrible day for rain
>>268129997>Any last words?!>Satisfactionis one of my favourite lines of the series, goddamn does it hit. What a great character.>>268132730guy just wants to help his friends help other people, he's satisfied that he's done that even as he stares down Magellan (definite loss)
>>268129997I'd rather headcanon Bon was the one who gave Magellan his scar than the BB pirates.
>>268129965>>268129997manly tears
>>268129965>>268129997Peak One Piece.
>>268134364I like to think he did Inb4 he appeared in the background in Buggy's crew post ts and nobody noticed
baroque niggas
>>268129965>>268129997o7What a great guyThanks for dumping OP
This was the first chapter of One Piece I ever read, here on /a/, back when it was brand new...Thanks for the thread, OP
>>268139239Only one of them
Sagebeard won...
>>268130771anon, rank and file marines in this universe are fucking retarded.
>>268129902absolutely based.
>>268129997do you prefer 'satisfaction' or 'I have no regrets'?
>>268141735I think I have no regrets works better as a sentence
>>268130031Thanks OP.
>>268141735>'I have no regrets'This for sure. The other translation of the poem feels more romantic (in the classical sense) too:>Even in Hell, the single flower known as friendship blooms>As waves break on the shore, it leaves its flowers as mementos>May it one day bloom again, Okama Way
>>268129902i had a vietnam type flashback reading this as it came out and being convinced right then and there "Luffy is for sure saving Ace."
>>268129607>>268129678why can't crocodile just use his powers to reduce enough of the door to sand for them to pass through?
>>268129997Mr. 2Bon ClayBenthamGoes by many names but forever an okama of honour.
>>268147179It's presumably a gigantic fucking hunk of (super unrustable) steel, we have no idea if it's post VC or pre VC. Just another one of those 'what in the actual fuck' and 'how in the actual fuck' does it work things.
>>268141648Isn't that what a lot of militaries kinda want at various levels?>must some additional 4d chess move planned out>talking back/not complying is insubordination/court marshalUse what ever justification you want.
>>268135424So how does he even survive?Assumptions: BB is still like an hour away from his trip upBon is getting poison fucked in the next 10 secondsBon gets thrown into some hole left for dead a few minutes laterSomeone else has to throw antidote on Bon (could be BB as a token thanks?)Bon has to get to 5.5 (someone helping)I thought everyone in 5.5 left
stay alive, fucking thread
So is the senior staff at Impel Downs non-standard sort of humans or is it just all costume?
>>268129902>>268129965>>268129997o7A real human bean.
I will never not love "OH COME MY WAY" as a translation of Okama, it's so fucking stupid, nonsensical and completely incoherent. What the fuck could it even mean? I always laugh at it.
>>268149048 It's just Oda not being able to kill characters, just think that he escaped Magellan and run back to Level 5.5
>>268141735the game
>>268153361Death upon you, sir.
>>268149048I imagine Magellan was so pissed off he personally made sure Bon stayed alive for torturing purposes. Eventually Bon snuck off through one of the hidden 5.5 passageways and worked on rebuilding Newkama Land and rescuing other prisoners.
Surprised there aren't any Rukia's execution jokes considering the impending execution we're building up to
>>268155959Probably not many Bleach fans here
>>268135013>>268130460This "Satisfaction" line gives me the same vibes as this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6EDlD_fWn0It just doesn't fit
>>268150969See >>268129799Bon Clay has the wings on the suit after transforming back, and we already saw Magellan's horns come off. It's all just costumes, except Hanyabal's horns.
Can't wait for the Impel Up arc. Must be way cooler than Impel Downor maybe that's where Enel is at, the moon is the Australia of the One Piece world
Chapter 549 - Battleship
>>268129965>>268129997The anime handled this self-eulogy so well.
>>268158387isn't burgess' laugh WIHAHAHA
>>268158528cool it with casual racism, Crocodile
War draws near.End of Chapter and the Impel Down Arc.Tomorrow: Navy Headquarters
>>268158488>Luffy forgot everything about Buggy except what makes him tickKek
>>268159032But Jimbe it's confirming what he said so it's fine Post timeskip Jimbe did a 180 on racism apparently
>>268158793Was it ever revealed why Rayleigh is known as the Dark King? We've never seen that mood from him, but it makes it sound as if he would act immorally and brutally.
>>268158593I cope that the tub current cover a very large area so that the grand line doesn’t look like very thin from that map
>>268158836>buggy>a yonkolollmao even
>>268158836>>268158881>>268158915>>268158957MY KING
>>268158462so Luffys life is shortened by this healing hormone and by using Gear 2he has like 10 years left tops?
>>268158528>You figgers are all barbaric scum and should be eradicatedWas that really necessary?
>>268158593What even is the purpose of Enies Lobby?
>>268158593what is stopping them from sailing out of the tub? the currents outside of the triangle will take them awayit's the entering part that is difficult, but exiting it should be easier
>>268148909I mean sure, but marines in this world will happily ignore how their leaders are calling humans insects and they'll also happily carry out exterminations for the people who take slaves.
>>268158528>jimbe taking it in stride still because he doesn't like humansI forgot about this little detail.
>>268160378it's the usual entry point to head to HQ or impel down, and serves as the place for suspects to have their 'impartial trial'.
>>268159233I mean, zoro has the title king of hell now. Robin is the devil woman.
>>268158836>buggy as a yonkou, sailing with bigshots like crocodile on his crewthe very concept is LAUGHABLE.
>>268159197luffy and Ace changed him, and I'd imagine going back home and seeing shirahoshi reminded him of Otohime
>>268160769 Celestial Dragons are considered gods so it's not like humans killing humans to them
>>268159084>10 years later, we'd get a live action adaptation with a brazilian luffy, a swedish nami, a japanese Zoro, a black Usopp, and a french SanjiHonestly, I had issues with the LA(90% of which is focused on Arlong Park), but man, they put a LOT of love into it.
>>268161129Problem of the live action was condensing all of East Blue into a season, imagine if they didn't had to rush the plot
>>268161209I hope, HOPE season 2 is a lot longer.Honestly, the pacing of season 1 wasn't THAT bad...just certain details were retarded.Like...why the FUCK did they cut nami telling nojiko of her long-term plans, which meant Nojiko legitimately hated her, and the villagers of Cocoyashi never forgave her until they found out the truth and were like 'oh, sorry for doubting you, nami'Why couldn't Luffy actually fight Arlong one-on-one, so he had to outsmart him?Orange and Syrup village were great, and I honestly didn't hate the changes to Baratie. Focusing entirely on Mihawk gave him more room to breathe, and having Arlong show up there gave a better motivator for Nami splitting than just...seeing a wanted poster.
>>268158836>buggy becoming a yonkoTOP KEK
>>268161209One thing they seem to do as well is squash later revelations that bring more context to moments and characters into the earlier material. I think the stuff we learn about Buggy in this manga arc ends up in the LA in his introduction (I don't like the shitty dark Joker Buggy from the LA though).
>>268158354Wow I can't wait for when Franky finally meets Vegapunk for real, I bet that would be so cool.
>>268158425>but whoever gets scared first losesGuess Teach is a loser then.
>>268159401>>268161030>>268161429You stfu Buggy D. Clown is a HERO and he WILL become an Emperor. Just you wait and see.
>>268162246
>>268158462is iva implying that he's less important for the success of the revolutionary army than Inazuma? How come?
>>268158996>those fuckers making him go up a mile of stairsI'd rather kill myself
>>268158593when are they going to get to Fishman Island
>>268159048reading Ace’s arc and the buildup to the war since W7 really makes this scene a lot sadder.
>>268159084Thank you OP.
>>268161329>>268161209My biggest issue wasn't with Arlong Park, it was with Baratie. No Don Krieg gets rid of all the plot of that arc and all of the storytelling with Sanji and his convictions are fucking gone. He just leaves Zeff after a very minor spat.
>>268158714all the buggy-stuff is so crazy good. Everything leads up so naturally to this chapter, even stuff from the very beginning of the east blue arc
>>268159233Are you really surprised the government is giving scary names to dangerous criminals? Next you'll be telling me Kuma is a tyrant.
>>268160490The stream is too strong too escape, you'll just be dragged in circles. Opening the gates allows the stream to "escape" and flow out of the triangle so it's the only way to get out.
>>268159084Thanks OP for the daily OP!
>>268158836>>268158881>>268158915>>268158957These pages remind me, and cement, of Oda's comment that Buggy is fully capable of existing in and thriving in the same weight class as Shanks and the other yonkou if he was willing to actually train and apply himself. He is absolutely the kind of guy who'd have CoC if he bothered.
>>268158387OH MY ANTIDOTE TO LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE POISON>>268158462How did Iva heal in like, 1 hour?>>268158714>blood brotherEither this is crazy foreshadowing that nobody noticed before, or Viz fucked up yet again.>>268158836>Weakling thinks that he has a chance of becoming a YonkoKek, no way that'd ever happen.>>268159084Thanks, OP.
>>268165559>Oda's comment that *headcanon*if it didn't happen in the manga it didn't happen at all
>>268165905>you can't believe a character might have a certain potential if it didn't "happen in the manga"What kind of retarded comeback is this? What's there to be opposed to, even?
>>268166099the argument is that not a single letter is canon unless it appears in the mangaSBS is not canoninterviews are not canontweets from Oda are not canon (does he even tweet?)
Sweet, only 569 plus some yet unreleased chapters to go
>>268158528
>>268158633
>>268158793
>>268166315>SBS is not canonYeah it is, SBS is all about Oda explaining how certain things work that be doesn't get the chance to in the manga. Even if there's some gags there too.Saying something isn't canon even if the writer explicitly says it's canon is beyond autistic.
VENOM BUMP
Doru Duro Bump Wall!
>>268159084Thanks for the dump like always OP.
>>268163229Those fuckers had to take the stairs too
>>268165905>[headcacon] postingBack to /opg/ please
>>268166778>>268166866>>268166950when will it be revealed that pandaman ate a devil fruit that makes him appear as an easter egg in manga panels
>>268158387Luffy was too coated in poison to survive even if given impel downs own antidotes they said. Now Iva, Scissor hands and the entire BB gang, being just as coated, lives off a off hand given antidote? Lame.
>>268158528Crocodile showing her CD side. AlsoThat girl with Pandaman is so hot...
>>268171510>Crocodile>her>CD side
>>268158528Crocochud
>>268171510>>268171553Let him cook.
>>268159084Thanks OP
>>268158528wtf Raimi?
>>268158915>>268158957god I love Buggy. MY CAPTAIN!
>>268171553>he doesn't know
>>268151485At this point my brain autocorrects to>OKAMA MY WAY
>>268171021Rare Hackda moment from pre timeskip
>>268170231kek
>>268159084Thanks OP.>Navy HeadquartersHere we go...
>>268151823I guess after timeskip he doesn't have the same restraint anymore. Like I still believe Vergo and Monet survived off-screen but then we never see them again
>>268165732Don't question it. Or pretend that Iva heals when applied to himself are super effective.
>>268171510>>268171598>>268173962We already established that Crocodile's secret is that he was bald
>>268182469poor girl. Being a bald little girl until she met Iva?
>>268160769It's almost a feudal like world, the elites have elites of their own and can get away with so much shit before there's any form of blow-back.
>>268159084Thanks for the read, OP
>>268158528is jinbe the fishman version of uncle ruckus
>>268165732Magellan was fighting Luffy solo when he soaked him in a thousand poisons. He just washed past the BB pirates and didn't apply nearly the same, they cover this when Bon tries to get Luffy antidotes. Iva at least has the ability to pre-empt his body with hormones to undo poison ahead of time unlike fixing Luffy hours into his body being destroyed.
>>268165732Blood brother is a term that means "not of blood." Normally brother already covers that, in this case it refers to the blood of the covenant/battle. Ace and Luffy are blood brothers.
>>268184458Nah, he's just fucking croc.
>>268179715 I originally believed Pedro wasn't really dead for the longest time until near the end of wci. it really weirded me out that he wasn't considered the amount of stuff other one piece characters have tanked.
>>268181835>Iva heals when applied to himself are super effectiveI guess that works.
>>268158354I hate Oda so much>>268158528I hope we get some kind of development on this racism from Croc at some point. We already know he's a bad dude so why the Racism on top of that?>>268158633>>268158669Somethings never change lolI miss this Luffy>>268159084Thanks
>>268189685Outside of the few hour break after defeating the seraphim there hasn't been the down time for franky to gush and try eek out info/tech from vegapunk. They do know at that time that they've got larger problems on their plate than interrogating vegapunk.
Bump Gatling
Ace must've been a pretty good navigator to chase after Blackbeard on his own.
>>268187522Right, before we have characters survived off-screen like Pell, Conis's dad and Mr 2 so it feels jarring after timeskip where characters really dead for real.Like Vergo, Monet, Pedro. The most pointless death are Asura Doji and Izou that died off-screen. You're telling me Kiku and Kinemon survived worse on-screen injuries, and then Asura Doji and Izou just die off-screen? Lame.
>>268194771 I think Lola and Chiffon's dad and that Big Mom son that she herself killed during her rampage are the only people that survived off-screen post timeskip
>>268162056yeshe got scared against S-Hawk
>>268158488Galdino is a good guy
>>268159084Thanks for posting!

The Truth Behind Ace's Execution!End of Chapter.No SBS / Afterpage.Tomorrow: Whitebeard of the Four Emperors
>>268171021luffy's problem was being hit by too many different poisons. Iva, Inazuma and the Blackbeards seem to have only been hit by the hydra-attack which was stated right from the get-go to be treatable
>>268197894ENTER
>>268197625>A Naruto and a knife that looks threateningly similar to ZangetsuBLEACH AND NARUTO REFERENCE CHANGE MY MINDPRO TIP: please let me have it
>>268197860MY HEROES AND THE BITCH.
>>268198141Was this theorized at the time or did the reveal come as a surprise?
>>268197894Poor Akainu broke his foot to strike that pose
>>268198100>was born 1 year lateis this why Ace is so retarded?
>>268199737imagine how tight his mom must've been if she can hold a baby in for a yearRoger was a lucky man
>>268197894Fun fact, Akainu's design is evocative not only of a specific actor like the other admirals, but also evokes a Yakuza with his tattoos and a flowery/fancy shirt and rose. To cap this off, he's wearing gloves, which in Yakuza media is usually a dead giveaway that the character owns/will use a gun.
>>268198100ok hear me out guys>Rogue was the previous user of the gomu-gomu no mi>she streched her womb>she died after 20 months>the fruit power gets transferred to another fruit>new fruit gets in the hands of Shanksyou know the restthe timeline checks out
>>268197860MY HEROES and a certain superior swordman's bitch
>>268197860MY HERO MORIA
>>268198141Thanks OP
>>268198141One of the few plot-twists I wasn't spoiled about and genuinely surprised me.
>>268198141The anime ruined this scene by showing the Roger's request before the reveal of Sengoku.
>>268198141Thank you OP.
>>268199606total surprise. because of garp's visit to Impel Down almost everybody was absolutely convinced Ace was Dragon's son per the whole "luffy and I have the blood of a low-life criminal flowing through our vains". There were a couple of dissenting voices in fandom, every now and again there were threads questioning Ace's choice of words that maybe he and Luffy had different criminal fathers, but the vast majority of responses came down hard on them for overanalyzing.
>>268197860>Decide the outcome of this battle.Confirms that Vista would've solo'd Marineford if Mihawk didn't stop him, considering they did jack shit beyond that.>>268197894I really like how low key Akainu's introduction is, yet you can immediately see what kind of guy he's supposed to be.>>268198100>>268198141>holding a baby for 20 monthsWish we knew more about Rouge because that's fucking crazy.>>268198141Thanks OP!>Tomorrow: Whitebeard of the Four EmperorsCan't wait.>>268199606Considering we knew him as Luffy's brother and knew Luffy's dad was Dragon basically nobody doubted Ace's dad was Dragon.
>>268198141So Rayleigh will show up soon to help save his captain's son, right?
>>268201390not to mention that the whole reason Iva got involved is because he thought Ace was Dragon's son too. It's funny how it turned out to be a complete misunderstanding, but at the time there was no reason to assume that Iva wasn't completely in the right. I remember there were fans who genuinely expected Dragon and the revolutionary army to jump into the war as well, but even back in the day I thought that would bloat the event up too much.
>>268201646He's just letting the young 'uns have their fun.
>>268198027>the One Piece world has televsionI could tolerate the phone snails but that's too much for a 17th/18th century looking setting.
>>268202329But cyborgs with lasers are okay? Also did you miss the cctv snails in Impel Down?
>>268202479>But cyborgs with lasers are okay?Yes, because the cyborgs with lasers are more like another mythical creature while TVs change whole lifestyles.>Also did you miss the cctv snails in Impel Down?I always forget them.I had the same feeling when I saw videotapes in Naruto. I saw it as something that doesn't belong there.
>>268202329>a 17th/18th century looking settingI mean, just look at how people dress. It's a weird mix of somewhat modern-looking stuff and old technology.>>268202576>TVs change whole lifestyles.These are just individual screens used for special transmissions, I'm pretty sure they don't even have recreational radio transmissions. It's kind of like how certain news were "broadcast" in theaters before TVs ever existed, except here there is no visual entertainment either.
>>268201832>there were fans who genuinely expected Dragon and the revolutionary army to jump into the war as wellAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
>>268198100>She hid her child in her womb for 20 months Nope nope nopenope
>>268198141>Ace has to sit kneeling for 3 hours Also poor Garp.Thanks OP
>>268197667>>268197709>>268197747This is such a cool sequence.>>268197894Ace KNEELS before the ADMIRALCHADS>>268198141Thanks, OP.>>268197860Mihawk's only 6'6'', how much of a manlet is that marine?
>>268197709I'd forgotten about this. The part where the children are singing a nursery rhyme and the nun is praying are so great. It reminds me of something from a movie I can't quite place (maybe a Western?). Really helps with the hype.
>>268197785>until Ace's head rolls.But isn't it weird? Didn't they stab Gold Roger with those glaive type things, rather than use them to slash and behead?
>>268204538I always imagined that the just lift the sword really fast, slicing the head from front to back instead of the reverse.
>>268197860Does this make them the Gobukai?
>>268197860>mfw trying to tell the nutjob pirates the government hired about our battleplans but they're just striking poses and staring into the distance, half of them laughing their asses off at seemingly nothing, and I can't get them to take me seriously I'm only dick-height to them at best so I'm not even sure they're even aware I'm here
>>268198625Thank you, anon! I was not expecting that.
>>268202576>I had the same feeling when I saw videotapes in NarutoSee that much makes sense. They already had fridges. Wartime innovations would be hoarded but anything that doesn't benefit the cause could be distributed far and wide. Something like recorded surveillance, in a ninja-based warfare society, would be invaluable.>TVs change whole lifestyles.The broadcasting technology at the very least is privatized by individual users and entities. There's nothing that says outside of OP Red which is aiming for a specific type of character that suggests just anyone can send video feeds between snails, or even would. As we see even with modern chapters, even having visual transponders isn't super common and setting them up takes time, which implies they're taken down and only put into place as temporary broadcast fixtures. Transponders already operate as radio which is a turn of the 20th century thing.
>>268197993>it's not your faultThen who's fault is it?right in the feels
>>268205133It seems like video den den mushi are much much much more expensive, which is why a whole village can have one or not be able to afford one. Breeding that type of snail must be more difficult. They probably won't be having TV sets any time soon. It's kind of like a world where only the cinema exists but not TV.
>>268197860I don't want to say Oda DELIBERATELY messed the perspective up, but mistake or not, it looks very imposing. I like it!
>>268201646
Sweet, only 568 plus some yet unreleased chapters to go
>>268197667I remember the theories about the old man being someone important
>>268202329>>268202785>>268205133Uhhh guys you do know that's not a tv screen right? They're still using snails to record in marineford and then transmitting them to sabaody with a visual snail which is basically just a projector, we saw the cctv works the same way in Impel down tooUnless I just completely missed the point of what you're saying and this is still too futuristic for you which then I have nothing to say about it I guess
>>268198100>20 monthsD clan pussy it’s just on another level
>>268198141
>>268197860For all the hate/indifference Boa gets, her actions during ID and Marineford really made me appreciate her. I'm no shipperfag, but her interactions with Luffy are just too cute.
>>268207263Ace's mom was actually the original user of the noro noro ability and used it to slow down her pregnancy.aone of the things that initially attracted Roger to her were all the freaky ways she'd use it in bed.
>>268197993>garp laughing through the pain
>>268207063He does have a way too good design to only give three line of exposition in one random throwaway panel
>>268197785obvious but a cool callback to Roger
>>268202576If you think that's too much just until doffy string tvs
>>268207101There's no appreciable difference. Projecting vs a built-in screen is nothing compared to sending of images and video worldwide with no form of satellites or other transmission equipment. It never bothered me because of the reasons outlined, but I get it.
>>268201390>I really like how low key Akainu's introduction isWhile this is the first time we see him in the present, his real introduction was in the Ohara flashback where he bombed the ship of civilians.
>>268198141EHHHH?ROOJAAH!!!
>>268207447>infiltratedBold of you to think that Pandaman can't be both a marine and a pirate, he will fight himself during the war
>>268197966There are way more Marine giants than I remember there being.
>>268197894Akainu actually looked slightly different in the Magazine compared to the tankoban.I have a better picture of all the comparison shots but I can't find it right now so I made this one really quick.
>>268198141Thanks OP btw.
>>268214160He looked older
>>268129902>>268129965>>268129997What an amazing fucking character. Bon clay was a likable character in alabasta but after this arc oda solidified him as one of the best characters in the series.
>>268203874>Mihawk's only 6'6"He's standing on salome
I like jinbei
>>268217436Good for you.
>>268211871God that's a blast from the past. What's Uzumaki Khan up to now, does he still injure himself making reaction videos?
>>268218771Hes my friend :)
>>268198141Thanks for the dumping.
>>268129902o7
>>268194771I think some of those deaths are just to play into the 7 samurai thing.
>>268198141I remember reading that the first time while I was on a summer trip with bad internet connection. I genuinely thought it was some late Aprils fool joke scanlators tried to pull.
>>268204675Why ain't the executioners some known stronk individual? What the fuck do you do when trying to execute someone who just gigga nigga haki gods their neck? absurd base endurance?
>>268206323Just pretend the marine is like 3 feet or something.
>>268222206maybe they do have those issues vs dudes who aren't devil fruit users. He's too weakened by the cuffs to resist like that here though
>>268202329Phone snail is half the way there. Isn't it just a transmission to sabody? So the distance they can send might be limited. The recording snail breed might be rarer than the projector, what ever excuse works for you. Phone snails are way to erratically used in the series as is. Everyone should carry one at all times, and the crew could have been doing so since they entered the GL (they don't seem expensive or anything). It would have changed some arcs a fair bit, both for SHs and enemies.
>>268222500Fisher Tiger was killed by bullets and so was Whitebeard. Maybe they just beat the crap out of strong prisoners until they don't have the will to manifest any Haki anymore.
bump
>>268222850whitebeard was killed by a LOT more than just bullets.
>>268225456>inb4 the cancer did it and not the few hundred bullets, cannonballs, a couple skewerings, cooked stomach/intestines and loss of half a head. Like he's a big guy, but the amount of physical damage is typical 'bandages will fix it' shit we see most of the series. Remember that Jinbe gets a fisting too and we haven't seen that scar or what fucking organs got cooked.
>>268198141ROJAAAAHHH *BANG*
>>268222333For Pete's sake, how would that help?!Anyhow, these are some nice sequential double trips you get there, anon.
Bump Bazooka!
Are there actual anons actually reading this manga for the first time?
>>268227093Me, but I already know about some stuff like time skip and some of the lolis, but not the context around them.
>>268197820Marinford looks so cool
>>268201646I don't think any of the Roger pirates knew about Roger having a kid. Other than Shanks but he actually met Ace in person.
>>268228138They broadcasted Sengoku revealing Ace's heritage to Saboady so Rayleigh should see it, but I don't know how long it would take to reach Marineford from Saboady.
>>268225574>typical bandages will fix it damage>half his head blown offanyways it's a combination of everything in your post that took him out. That and we're not quite at post-timeskip powercreep that turns the series into DBZ so this big war can still be fought with a bunch of muskets and swords
>>268227093Me.
>>268228337He should have made it before the worst happen for sure
>>268227093Sure, but I came from the Anime so I know what's going to happen, so I'm mostly here for fun.
>>268197709who is she praying to
>>268199823maybe we can add that shanks knew rogue and that's why he was guarding the fruit (sentimental value)
>>268232694>guardinghaven't you read it yet, or did you just speedread it?
>>268232958why what's wrong
>>268228337Maybe he wasn't watching TV at the time.

As a bonus, here are the Usopp Gallery Pirates submissions from the original Japanese release of Volume 56.
>>268236539SO HIGH!!
>>268236492>>268236539HOLY ENTERThank you OP.
>>268236358Pirate GOD Buggy
>>268236539Where's his cockThanks for the read, OP
>>268232470 Nika like everyone since chapter one
>>268236004Fat Usopp powerlevel?

>>268236390>Ship on the leftPandaman is trying to save Ace too!!! The Marine is fucked!!!
>>268236539Thanks OP
>>268236038>the bloodline of the pirate king???it's just one dude, not like he has a long list of forefathers who were Devils, right? So why the outrage?It's not like all his descendants will become violent criminals...
>>268237713He could easily solo an admiral but he's nowhere near Sogeking levels
>>268236539MY FUARKING EMPEROR
>>268236182Yeah I've seen it used fairly often. Those bubbles with rays on them tend to be used for thoughts/remembering just as commonly, but thought bubble as whisper isn't crazy.
>>268236107holy shit that Moria worm neckit looks so squishyI want to bite it
>>268236182I've seen thought bubbles used for whispering pretty often in manga while plain text with no speech box is used for thinking.
>>268236140>I know you. You'll do it. like he helped with genocide of innocent civilians for sport?
>>268236539ENTER. Thanks, OP.
>>268238974>taking the marines/WG's 40-year propaganda at face valueAnon...

>>268236539Thanks OP for the daily OP!
>>268238790Okay, hear me out: Fat Sogeking
>>268238869>t. Kaido
>>268239718>two kids that the WG didn’t know about>the second in command of the crew, one of the strongest in the world >random doctor living inside a whale
>>268158714the speech bubble in the top panel transitioning based on where it's said/heard is very cool
>>268238853It's a very odd convention, but Western comics do it too. I guess the idea is that a whisper is a voice so quiet it barely rises above being a thought.
>>268198100>>268236183I've heard people call this contrived, but it's not like Oda wrote himself into a corner here; he chose to introduce the idea of Ace being the son of the pirate king at the exact same time he concocted the 20 months thing as the reason it wasn't found out. From the perspective of somebody in this universe though, it sounds like something the government made up as an extra reason to kill Ace.
>>268236539Fuck you op!
>>268238184This is something that one piece characters (japanese people) really care about
>>268236390Well anon? Are you joining the caterpillar pirates?
>>268242790>one piece characters (japanese people)
>>268236390Holy shit, is that Surume?

>>268245648Start me up!
>>268243379deepest lore
>>268236539ENTER MY HERO AND THE STRONGEST!This is actually the arc that first got me into One Piece all those years ago. I was like 8 years old watching Marine Ford AMVs on classic YouTube and absolutely loosing my shit at how cool it was. It also made me appreciate Ace much more as a character because of the nostalgia I have with watching him and also being the oldest of 3 brothers.
>>268243044>japanese """"people""""
>>268236539THE ONE PIIIIECEEEE
>>268245648We are
Fake leaks of Akainu from back in the day

>>268251890We really lost out on peak

>>268159233wasn't it just to make a parallel with roger?
>>268161129I'm pretty sure Luffy's actor is mexican
>>268251890He feels like a rapist.
zqézqa
>>268239718I assume it's a mistranslation and Moria means everybody related to Roger? which would be quite fucked up in its own right
>>268236183>everybody related to Roger is being hunted down and killed>"Our child's name... is 'Gol D. Ace'"for fuck's sake, woman
>>268239718I wouldn't put it past the WG to lie and say they executed Rodgers whole crew just like how they say Garp caught Rodger. It could also mean everyone outside of his crew who he ever spoke with. Like Tom, any family or neighbors. Hell they might have straight up killed anyone who'd ever spoke to him.
>>268236214>Two years ago... you took your mother's family namewait, so Ace actually went around calling himself Gol D. Ace until he was 17? And they only learned about his heritage after he changed his last name?
>>268235548>>268236029Surely there'd be lots in level 5 to keep warm?
>>268257477Gold (and Silver) is probably a pretty common thing for pirates to call themselves, same with [Color]beardOr he just went by Captain Ace
>>268257308Problem is that they wanted to kill Tom, but the judge basically pardoned him until the Spandam subterfuge thing. Like WE know how hard the WG likes to spin shit, but they're doing just as shit a job at it like real world governments, lie through their teeth about X, yet do Y which is counter to X, all in the hope that by next election the betrayal is forgotten with the current thing happening.>tom got nicked (and I don't think he's dead, or at least there's a plausible reason he could come back) for something not related to Roger>ray is still running around>somehow they didn't know about crocus>I doubt everyone got hunted to extinction, many would have hit the ground like ray>shouldn't it have been a bigger deal at some point where ray admits he's one of very few from the roger pirates alive? Like we'll see more of Garp duplicity soon and after the arc, but holy shit he's a giant traitor, even if they lie about who brought in Roger, Garp could have had 'an accident', 'gone missing at sea' or something to try mitigate just how fucking traitorous he is.
>>268236214Bets on Dadan being Dragon's mother? Just who the fuck was Dadan to Garp that he threw the boys at her, and knew she wouldn't snitch?
>>268236259I don't know how hard Sengoku believes any of this. It can't be orders from on high to kill Ace for being a D, otherwise there'd be hit orders on all of them. Killing him JUST for being Rogers kid makes zero sense (PK is a title to vilify Rog er for the info he uncovered by reaching 'Laugh Tale') because the kid doesn't know anything at all, hell WB knows the full truth, so is this just bait for that, but WB could have told fucking anyone in the last 20~ years. I just can't figure out what level of bootlicker/coolaid drinker Songoku is meant to be, he's aware his 2nd is a traitor, he works with D's and CD's but also seems to buy into the pirate menace whole sale knowing exactly how fucked up the world really is.
>>268236492>coating lasted from Sabody onHang the fuck on. This is something else isn't it? How do NW -> Paradise ships get coated if there's no groves. And the coating should pop once out of Sabody range?
>>268236539MY FUARKING DAD
>>268236492This is real cool >>268236539ENTER BEST DAD!>>268258556Marineford is pretty close to Sabaody. Or maybe coating lasts underwater regardless of distance to Sabaody.
>>268258479I think that Sengoku know that WG is corrupted, but is still better to have them ruling the world, and commiting "some" evil is better than letting pirate roams free, and sincerely believed that Roger is the threat to the world, even if he is not that evil. As demonstrated by Whitebeard's declaration regarding one piece has plunged world into chaos due to pirates rampage(granted, half of it is their fault for wasting most of their force into destroying the whitebeard pirates, which is like using most of your bullet to break your neighbor's gate that is essentially keeping people from invading your house as well.) I think that the end of this arc will suggest that Sengoku doesn't realize that his government is far more evil than the pirate until He witness how the WG handle the end result of the war. For someone called genius, he seem pretty stupid, in grand scheme of things.>>268258556I think that the atmosphere allows the bubble to to forms within the island, but the coating itself doesn't need the island atmosphere to last, unless the coating in this case refers to the bubble covering them under the water, in this case, I will guess that the coat composition is modified to last under water or that underwater also keep the bubble in shapes.
>>268163040I think he just Likes Inazuma that much Friendship is one hell of a drug
>>268197993Garp is coping hard
>>268239718Did scooper get executed?Did they execute the egg?
>>268259901The scrambled egg needs to be addressed.
>>268236183This is truly fucked upJust kill anyone because one dead guy might have convinced a child
>>268158714>We found no connection between you and "Fire Fist" Ace...That's funny since he actually meet him one time
>>268243957Caterpillars like to make holes in leaves so the Caterpillar Pirates love to make holes in ships
>>268254228>the court is a shamShouldn't the vast majority of people that go there be pirates that are actual criminals?
>>268258379Garp seems to have lived in those mountains too when he was young, maybe they just knew each others since childhood
>>268259901They made Scooper eat all the egg
>>268260483The fact that most of the judged are guilty doesn't mean they got a fair trial.
The strongest bumper in the world, Bumpbeard.. has arrived.
>>268262190Nani?!
>>268236140while i'm not a fan of how Roger was portraid as basically proto-luffy in the flashback, i think is undeniable Oda always had in mind he would be like that. He's pretty playfull here
>>268262190He's no match for Sageffy.
>>268259901RIP egg
>>268258379My theory: She's his baby momma but not his wife. They had a complicated enemies to lovers relationship in their youth, but circumstances meant their relationship could never last. With Garp being a marine and Dadan being a criminal, they probably never saw eye to eye on a lot of things. This would also partly explain why Dragon never grew up to be the marine Garp wanted him to be.
Do you think at any part of the story Oda planned for Luffy to be Roger’s son?
>>268269016Luffy's dad was introduced all the way back in East Blue, so if he did it would have had to have been VERY early on.
>>268269633True, but I could believe that Oda didn’t have Dragon’s story mapped out at that point, just that he was a powerful mysterious character to use later on
>>268264770 The problem with the flashback is that we only have seen Roger in calm moments and not serious ones
>>268269016 He didn't even planned for Ace to be Roger's son
>>268258479Ace's execution was only ever about optics. Get the second commander of the Whitebeard pirates captured, that's not a worthwhile execution, otherwise they'd have executed Ivankov as soon as he was captured too. But the son of the king of the pirates? In a generation where there were ELEVEN supernovae reaching the end of Paradise, they needed to put a good foot forward and demonstrate their power.Plus, it'll come to a war, and after the damage Croc's dethroning did to the image of the Warlords, they need to have them all on full display- Oh what's that? One rebelled? Another refuses to come-oh wait now she's in? And then the one that started all this vanishes? Good thing we can debut the Pacifistas here and make short work of pirates. All those would-be pirates in the world will think twice when they see the terrible might of our oh fuck did Whitebeard just say it exists on live footage oh god damnit
VOLUME 57 - PARAMOUNT WAR
>>268272597YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Chapter 552 - Ace and Whitebeard
>>268272762>T-Boneis he also at marineford? Did I miss him?
>>268272932I always liked that in the beginning of the series the characters had to "cast" their skills by shouting the name of the attackit always threw me up when characters, like whitebeard here, just uses his ability without shouting something like GURA GURA... AIR CRACK
>>268273359Whitebeard being too old to fuckin bother naming attacks is what made him seem like an entirely different tier. Wonder if THEY have any named attacks or just use brute force too.
It begins.End of Chapter.No SBS / Afterpage.Tomorrow: Paramount War
>>268272932Nothing will ever top the way he just rolls up and cracks the fucking sky. I don't know what I was expecting him to, but it sure as hell wasn't this.
>>268272891>Luffy casually dropping that he always knew the big plot twistI'm curious what the theories were back then about how Luffy would react to Ace's parentage.
>>268273570>the two greatest forces of the world governmentexcept for the Gorosei, Imu, and the God's Knight
>>268272891Kek.>>268272932HOLY FUARK>>268272971>Ace went from upstart to warlord tier in less than 3 yearsMan, Mihawk has to be carrying the entire warlord system.>>268273257>boy with daddy issues starts to love an older manHMMMMMMMMMMMMMM>>268273421How do they hear each other?>>268273570Thanks, OP.
>>268273570Thanks OP for the daily OP!
>>268272891Luffy is really hard to pin down sometimes. Obviously he knows who Roger is, but its hard to tell whether or not he understands or appreciates what Roger did, or if he just heard the term Pirate King, thought it sounded like something he'd wanna be, learned that Roger was Pirate King and just assumed he was probably pretty cool from that.
>>268273570is he trying to sink his own fleet?
>>268274294>>Ace went from upstart to warlord tier in less than 3 yearsI mean Garp powerleveled Luffy and Ace(?) to hell and back so hard that they are were able to go face to face with the top dogs of Grand Lines first half by raw force since the start, gimmicky issues aside>>268275572He knows it would be stopped, but its a great moral boost on his side and desmorilizing as for the marines
>>268273570Thanks OP
>>268272891I wonder what is the role of those soldier in brown uniforms is, they can’t be all reserves for the executioners
>>268276408It also forced kuzan to freeze the ocean, making solid ground for the fleet to disembark
>>268272762weird that they used updated portraits for everybody except Ace.
>>268273303>with WB the longestHe really is ROCKs fucking kid.
>>268278613I'm pretty sure Ace means the longest out of the ones who aren't division commanders. We saw in the Oden flashback that he joined WB recently at the time
>>268274284Silly anon, neither of those serve the World government, only their own cliqueYou could have made an example of the Cipher Pool though
>>268273570paramecia truly are the strongest fruits
>>268236390>bohemian knight Doma>cool name>cool epithet>cool design>cool monkeyshame he is secondary as fuck
>>268273570Thank you OP.
>>268264770i think the issue is that Roger should be similar to luffy but with key differences, not a carbon copy. He should know full well that he's a bit of a prick trolling everyone even if he has fun with it while Luffy is a genuine dunce who does things just cause he feels like it instead of having a genuine mischievous/malicious streak. Playful with his rivals, but not immature about it.
>>268274294>Man, Mihawk has to be carrying the entire warlord systemI mean, he got a fire logia. It's hard to argue that he wouldn't be able to fuck over every minor pirate in east blue and most of the grand line. Like, what would someone like Arlong do to him?
>>268129997o7
>>268272597Casually becomes the protagonist of the story for a short time
>>268272932People say he can create earthquakes om any surface but I say fuck thatThat man can litterly bent space itself
>>268270017>to be used laterstill waiting on that to happen
>>268273570Imagine just being some random regular marine with a gun, all proud you got called up to defend headquarters and then seeing this shit happen in the first minute of the war.
>>268272971Garp has to be an idiot to be angry at this
>>268274294>Ace went from upstart to warlord tier in less than 3 yearsLuffys rise to power is far more insane, the entire journey to this point has been like 6-10 months and in that time he's beaten 2 Shichibukai and destroyed Ennies lobby He's also never had to train or get stronger until Ennies Lobby. He was the same strength in chapter 1 as he was in water 7 where he actually trained for the first time to get stronger.The first saga of Post TS take place in like a month and Wano a few weeks. So at Luffy has become a Yonkou in 3 monthsIt's as crazy as Jojo part 5 taking place in a week and I really dont like it. I wish each half of the Grandline took like a year and a half. Because at this point the strawhats spent more time apart them together with the time skip.
>>268273257>Simba...
>>268281482you basically have to pretend like covers and spreads also happened and that it has taken the real time it took to read the whole thing
>>268272597Still the best Yonko to this day
>>268279023>Inb4 Mythical Zoan with same power of the Gura Gura no Mi and other shit
>>268272714Luffy's dick n balls...
>>268273570Thanks for the read, OP>>268283164Goda would never do something as ridiculous as having a Zoan act like a Paramecia, like if the Gura-Gura no Mi belonged to a race of tremor people, or the Supa Supa no Mi was turning you into a specific sword human. That'd be stupid.
>>268281482>the entire journey to this point has been like 6-10 monthsIt's been more like 7 weeks.
>>268258479How much do the average marines know about WG and CD's debauchery and evil? Do they just thought we're the good guys because we protect the world from pirates?>>268279653Yeah logia can carry you to Sabaody unless you met the Warlords or hakiman.>>268273514How did the WG never managed to get their hands on this fruit?
>>268274284>god's knightsHave we seen yet even a hint at how strong they are? They couldn't stop kuma, they couldn't stop the revolutionaries...I think the only thing we've seen of them is Figarland having the authority to kill tenryuubito...or did I miss something?
Sweet, only 567 plus some yet unreleased chapters to go
>>268272891 (...)
>>268227093Yeah. Back in the day, I dropped the anime around Whiskey Peak, as the dub was starting to annoy me too much. Paired with the people I knew that liked One Piece, I just started to view it as loud and obnoxious, and never felt like picking up the manga.I started reading it now because in the like, 15 or so years since then, I've gained an appreciation for the fact that manga humor doesn't always translate to anime so well, and OP deciding to make a multi-year trek out of posting this felt like a good excuse to get in on it. Otherwise, I probably would've just binged it when it finally ended.
>>268286034>the dub...4kids or funimation?
>>268227093Same as >>268231374, but I came through one pace instead so right now I'm stuck at Wano
>>268286517Funimation. Whiskey peak would be almost 20 years ago if it was 4kids
>>268129764>>268129799this made me cry in the anime...damn
>>268275248The latter, he knows enough about Rodger to understand how important Rayleigh was but I don't think he cares about him. Luffy probably thinks of him like you would you friends super cool rich uncle in elementary school. Never met him but every story he tells you makes him sound amazing.
>>268227093I was anime-only for a while, so reading from whiskey peak onward was novel. On top of that, Skypiea, Sabaody, Amazon Lily, and Impel Down are blind spots in my One Piece knowledge. Should be closing on the last of them as we get into Marineford, but I'll still be reading beyond that.
>>268281482>He was the same strength in chapter 1 as he was in water 7my headcanon is that every time the strawhats defeat an opponent they "get experience" and "level up" and get stronger
>>268272932who can defeat him?
>>268289557That person.
>>268284726It's over 3 months at minimum for pre-TS and at least 2.5 months for post-TS thus far. There's numerous 'a few days later' scenes that can be anywhere from 3 to a week (or more really). It is criminal they've spent more time apart than together, but I think the sheer length of an arc has made readers and Oda think more time has passed and just accept the weirdness that they'd know some of the crew for like a week before BTFO.
>>268284752Grunts, hailing from WG allied nations must all know about not fucking with CDs, for they could visit your backwater hole at any time, and you should bow and suck dick. They make YOUR LOCAL KING bow. They don't hide their slaves either, so that should for the most part be open.
>>268285045it's true though, remember loguetown?
>>268272843he had a quick cameo some chapters ago, yeah. Odd that he of all people gets singled out though
>>268273208so Whitebeard is also a proper haki-user who can touch logias, just like Rayleigh
>>268273421>>268273471I fucking love Whitebeard
>>268275248I don't think he really cared about Roger as a person either, I was always under the impression that Luffy's goal of becoming pirate king was chosen pretty arbitrarily. He wanted to one-up Shanks and prove that in time he could become a bigger and better pirate than him, and that's all there ever was to it.
