This manga was pretty good. But the fight going to get really good. I hope they start the battle out with the three Supreme Admirals. I am putting my bet on some of the Royal Shichbukai are going to defect or betray the marines in some way in this battle. That was shocker that White Beard is a Devil fruit User. It makes me wonder if Gold D. Roger was a devil Fruit User.
I agree also that Ace got to the top pretty fast becasue of his Logia powers. Good percentage of the well known powerful one piece characters are valued pretty high on the list becuase of that Logia factor. Ex The supreme admirals, Smoker, Croc, Ace, Eneru, Black Beard, and that not counting how many are in the new world or the ones in this big war that just got started. The Marines probably offered Ace Shichibukai status becasue they have three Logia users of there own and they know how powerful they can be. If you take away there powers would any of them even make it to the top? Black Beard is another good example. He never made his move until he got his Logia powers. After that look how fast he rose to the top. They offered him Shichibukai status too. That now Three Logia users that have been offered Shichibukai Status. If you can't touch a logia User (which majority of the one piece characters in the universe can't) then that pretty much makes you a power house already without even trying. |

Again Oda delivers
Great chapter as always, can't remember when Oda has ever let me down though Thriller Bark was bit slow to start for me but this is just too awesome. Very filling chapter with a TON of content just for 18 pages. - Luffy did know that Gol D Roger was Aces dad - Ace was very famous as captain of Spade pirates - Ace was offered Shichibukai status - Ace tracked Shanks to deliver Luffys message (and had great party with him) - Ace and Jimbei fought for 5 days (!!!) - Spade Pirates were defeated and assimilated by Whitebeard pirates - Ace had a huge grudge against Whitebeard - Ace attempted to kill WB for over 100 times (omg) - Ace became very famous and beloved member of Whitebeard pirates - Ace offered second division commander spot to Blackbeard but he refused - Blackbeard was in Ace's division (not 100% if this was revelead earlier) - Whitebeard DIDN'T order Ace to hunt down Blackbeard but it was Aces own decision - Whitebeard is devil fruit user and can cause quakes and tsunamis - Chats are done, fighting has started For some other mangakas this amount of content could taken multiple chapters but this didnt even felt crammed and it was still had excellent level of art. Excellent informative chapter with bit tragic emotion around it, give tons of information of both Ace and Whitebeard. |

I'm guessing Jimbei can use Haki, since he fought with Ace for so long.

Holy crap. Oda surprised me again.
Luffy, Whitebeard, Ace....almost everyone did know Ace was the son of Gol.D.Roger. Also it is sure now, that White Beard's power is beyond any of the admirals. Only perhaps if the go 3 vs. 1 , they'd have a chance. Also: Oda will do funny shit with Zoro. I mean after what he has done to Ussop..... |

@MihawkXGP: We will see. We saw him in action once how he froze a big area just effortlessly.
@D Lusion Al: Luffy would be a weakling in that battle. Can't see him doing anything besides being the emotional backup or to trigger something bigger. |

Think Luffy and Zoro are equals, it just one's the Captain and the other one is not. I don't based character strengths and looks. Luffy and Zoro aren't even in my top 3 favorite characters. I believe that Luffy and Zoro are equals based on that info in Bold Print. And the fact Zoro inevitable defeat of Mihawk who is a Yonkou-level Pirate is more proof. Zoro and Sanji ARE NOT near-equals. That's been made pretty clear in the manga. When Sanji and Zoro do fight, neither one of the are serious. Based on the opponents they receive, its evident Zoro is much stronger and stronger Willed then Sanji. Zoro was even shown using Haki (in the CP9 Battle), something only him and Luffy has been shown to use (within the Strawhats) |

We've known that Blackbeard was in Ace's division since the Alabasta storyline. He clearly tells Luffy that he was his subordinate. Still, the fact that Blackbeard turned down the commander position is pretty interesting indeed. It looks like Whitebeard and his crew already acknowledged Teach's strength (which is further evidenced by the fact that Whitebeard tried to stop Ace from hunting him down)...... Anyways, awesome chapter, naturally. Whitebeard's become one of my favorite characters, though I already liked him after Oda revealed his inspiration for the character in a 10th anniversary interview (for those that don't know, Whitebeard was based on an old bar owner that Oda knew. He also had some of the same life support equipment that Whitebeard wore, and even referred to booze as his "medicine". Sadly, he died around the time the interview was made.....). And about Whitebeard's crew, I'm really hoping that the dude with the top hat and mustache turns out to be one of the commanders, because he looks awesome. I see that a merman is a part of the crew, as well (also a commander, perhaps)? By the way, I find it highly amusing to see that Aokiji and Akainu are looking all series when they see the tsunami raging towards them, but Kizaru still has that dazed, goofy look on his face. I think he'll still remain to be my favorite admiral overall, even after Akainu reveals his abilities/personality. And now to look forward to the next chapter (even if there's a break afterwards)! |

It's all just a game of rock, paper, scissors. Luffy's weakness is swordsmen, so Zoro matches up really well against Luffy. Whether he is actually stronger, I dunno.
Now if we are debating which character is tougher, I would say Luffy. This being simply because he is a rubberman and can take a lot more physical damage then a normal human. |

But I think Jimbei may have a affinity for water, him being a powerful merman. The full extent of his power has yet to be revealed. Quote:

This whole time I had the impression that Blackbeard was intentionally hiding his strength. __________________________ Sengoku seems to be panicking (or showing more lack of self-control) than the Admirals themselves. Kizaru is my favorite Admiral because he's funny. He just got this confident/careless attitude when shit is easy-going but the moment somebody strong appears he's just like, "Aww shit, now I actually gotta try hard [sighes]" lol. Another interesting fact was Sengoku was wrong. Whitebeard didn't know Ace was Gol D. Roger's son. Ace told him. It would've been pretty ridiculous if Whitebeard would have somehow found out. You can't say Ace look like Roger, and thats how he knew because looks doesn't necessarily mean relations. Whitebeard even said Ace is nothing like Roger (personality-wise). |
