And, WB will probably die in the coming chapters.

And don't forget the vivre card, Oda didn't throw show that card randomly. The card was used as a conformation that Ace died.

It's ironic that the reason Luffy was wide open like he was is because he was stopping to recover Ace's life card. >_>

After this weeks chapter...there will be a break.

no, Luffy stopped and fell to his knees because his wounds and fatigue was finally catching up to him. He was at his limit and loosing the ability to keep on moving... it was just a coincidence that at that moment he dropped the card and was gonna pick it up.

Yeah, I was just about to mention that, myself. Really makes me wonder what sort of cliffhanger Oda will have in store for us in chapter 575.....



Edit: Slightly unrelated, but the cover for volume 57 has been revealed. Definitely awesome, though it's a bit odd that Luffy and Whitebeard are shown in color, yet the division commanders are not.....

So the card fell and then he went to pick it up, leaving him wide open.

Cliffhanger better be a time skip. Or have Hancock raping Luffy. Either works for me.

I'm sorry, if it's a stupid question, but I just got a little confused.

Since it's sunday now, does it mean there won't be a chapter next thursday? Or does it mean, there won't be a chapter before two weeks, after the chapter on thursday?

I really hope, there will be a chapter next thursday, or else I'm not sure if I'll survive

It means we'll get the spoiler probably tomorrow...as well as chapter this week and after that..It'll be a break.

Kool.

I'd really love it if there was a big colour spread of the WB Pirates...& some of the NW Captains like Oda did for the Shichbukai. That'd be awesome.

[marvelB]

^Yeah, that'd definitely be awesome, all right. I was also hoping that Oda would do a marine colorspread at some point, since all 3 of the admirals have already been revealed.....

Either Luffy being knocked out of the rest of the fight (and Whitebeard ordering everyone to save him), or Luffy doing something extraordinary (even for him) or a surprise character shows up (Blackbeard?)...there, I distilled the possible cliffhanger down to the most likely/obvious outcomes .

So what do you think will be in the SBS? Possible bounty for Whitebeard (very unlikely)? Names for the unknown commanders? Unknown New World allies?

As much as I'd love to see Oda answer those types of questions, it's much more likely that he'll be answering something silly, like "How many gura guras does it take for Whitebeard to open a pickle jar?", or something like that.



Personally, I wouldn't mind learning (somewhat) useless info like the ages of Whitebeard, Garp, Sengoku, and the admirals myself.

[james0246]

^Yeah, real questions and answers are few and far inbetween when it comes to the SBS, but the kernals of information are always quite interesting. As you say, the ages of the older characters would be great to know. Brooke specifically mentioned a rookie named Roger was hanging out on the Grand Line around the time he died (which would be about 40-50 years before the present events), so it would be nice to know just how old everyone (from the older generation) is/was.

[marvelB]

^Uh-huh, I've always liked it when Oda reveals those little details about the characters (one of my favorite details would be when he actually drew the entire CP9 as kids, BTW ). I actually prefer that kind of info over the more plot-relevant stuff like DF questions and whatnot. It just goes to show how much care Oda puts into the series and its characters. I guess that's also part of the reason why I prefer the splash page ministories that focus on the secondary villains like Wapol and Gedatsu over the ones that focus on major villains like Eneru and CP9 (that, and I just plain find them more interesting overall).



BTW, another SBS question I'd like to see answered would be about the birthplaces of Blackbeard's crew. We know that Lafitte originally came from West Blue, but what about Teach and the rest? Maybe Oda can include Shiryuu as well, seeing as he's a new recruit......

Oman, that revelation + a time skip would be kind of awesome. >_> Have her be not so little, with Ace's DF, and meeting up with her uncle Luffy at some point . . . Too awesome. <_<

and the lover is none other than...PRINCESS VIVI!!

New spoilers have arrived, so I went ahead and made the thread for it, guys! Let's get at it, now!

yeah i noticed too
But at first that Akainu intentionally made Ace mad

Same here i found that pretty weird as well. I found it pretty depressing now that Ace is dead and how terrified Luffy looks right after. I guess he's going to go on a rampage now since Ace died and Whitebeard nearly dead. Overall this chapter, i think is one of the most emotional chapters of one piece

[kira-sama]

the most i scare is Luffy will rampage all the way and then get caught by Akainu or whoever

[Cub-Sama]

I just caught up to the manga and I really wish Akainu a painful and agonizing death, I wanted to see just a little bit more of Ace before he died. But considering how Luffy survived being stabbed, buried, dried then poisoned I still have hope he might survive I mean even Pell was in the middle of an explosion and didnt die.
