Yep, Whitebeard was definitely full of awesome quotes this chapter:

On a somewhat unrelated note, Greg of AP forums recently pointed out that Oda mentioned a former enemy of Luffy's would become his partner and head to the New World with him. If that's true, then I'd say that Buggy or Bon Clay would be the top candidates (Hancock and Jinbei were never really enemies, after all). I dunno about Crocoboy, since he's a distrustful bastard who'd sooner kill a would-be partner than join with them (just look at what happened with Doflamingo). However, I'd still sorta exclude Buggy since signs are already pointing towards him becoming his own beast. So... I'd say that Bon Clay's the best bet (I highly doubt that Magellan actually killed him, anyway)......

Buggy is likely to run off with Ace or even the Revolutionaries. Perona is likely to join too. She was lonely on that island until Zoro arrived. She'll probably tag along as the rest of the crew meets up. |

This chapter is all kinds of awesomeness. Great speech by WB.
So WB took Squardo in after his crew had been wiped out by Roger. Although its understandable he'd despise Roger, but what did he expect? He's a pirate, he challenged Roger and got beat and his crew wiped out. Thats the life of a Pirate All Buggy's been frozen, but I'll be expecting Marco will come along any moment and melt the Ice away. I can't wait for the next chapter. The Marines are pissin themselves with fear now that Whitebeard has taken to the battlefield. One can only imagine how powerful WB would have been in his prime, its a scary thought Akainu vs Whitebeard, this is a battle that must happen. |

Perona doesn't have any real fighting skils though. All she has to do is use her negative hollows and that will defeat the enemy. i know she used all of those other mover against Usopp, but she won't have to because her hollows will work anyway. plus, she was perfectly happy in thriller bark crew, but boroqe works were all separate, so i feel Bon Clay will be the better choice. I'm pulling for buggy, though as he is my favorite villain.

I would have preferred it if Squado found out about Ace being Roger's son somewhere in the past, and his hatred for Roger made him resent Ace until the order to rescue Ace made him turn against WB. But not triggered by this farfetched story about a deal between WB and the marines, that he never should have believed at all. |

Would have posted earlier if I hadn't had problems with the computer I was using. Here are my reviews:
Squado mentioning his reason for stabbing Whitebeard. Having something to do with Akainu mentioning Whitebeard's deal with Sengoku. Then we go into Squado's past and then Marco's past. I can't believe Sengoku planned to put distrust among the NW captains. It was quite effective. |

I hope WB's speech this chapter about all sons being equal means that Sengoku's speech about WB wanting to make Ace the pirate king a complete lie.
I hated the idea of a greenhorn like Ace succeeding WB, when there are more experienced crew like Marco around. I hated it with passion. |

I was wrong. I have never thought that the WG would be this dirty in their attempts to stop Whitebeard. Since Aokiji froze Buggy and the rest, I don't know if that part will make it to the rest of the world, but hopefully it will. And hopefully WG will suffer the worst damage they had ever felt since the crimes they committed hundreds of years ago.
Another interesting thing is Akainu is doing the dirty work as usual. I guess this also tells something about the Vice Admirals and their personalities. And, the waste of the phrase, Government dogs, by using it for the Shichibukai. Anyway. Whitebeard will definitely die before this arc ends. There is no question on this anymore. And the way he dies, in terms of the results, will get closer to how Roger died, in terms of strengthening the flames of the young ones. I guess next chapter will be an extremely emotional chapter, showing the response of the pirates to Whitebeard's words and actions. (And I won't be surprised if he actually dies while saving not Ace's but Luffy's life) |

Then again, maybe Squado really didn't believe that he would actually strike Whitebeard, so the attack was supposed to be a way of confirming the situation (i.e. Squado attacks, Whitebeard dodges, then they talk...but that is not how it played out). |

tell you what guys its about time the marines suffered some defeats on there side, preferably in the manner that oars jr did!
as for squadros betrayal, consider the fact that in the heat of the battle watching his men die he mite hav had a error in logic due to emotions running high, if this scenario shows the darker side of any1 its gotta be the marines more so then any1 else. |

That may be Sengoku's main plan, to shake the support Whitebeard had with the captains following him, and weaken him at the same time. But, Crocoboy's cry may tell a lot in this situation. Even weakened, he is still the strongest pirate, with all the qualities needed to shake away all of these stains. |

And what exactly has Marco proven? We've seen him in exactly one fight, Kizaru kicked him and he kicked him back, that's all that happened. This isn't about current strength, its about potential. None of the big shots in One Piece are worried about Luffy's current strength, Luffy would get utterly owned if he tried to fight one of them. There worried about how strong he has become in such a short period of time especially considering how young he is. It's the same story with Ace, he's only 20 years old. How old do you think Squado is? Or Jozu, or even Marco? Anyone with eyes can tell that its only a matter of time before he passes those guys up, if he hasn't already.

Well played sengoku, well played.
The chapter sounds awesome but i am a bit disappointed because Roger was sick and now WhiteBeard is also sick/old. I really wanted to see WhiteBeard at his best vs the WG. I wanted to see the great pirate WhiteBeard at full strength going all out. Whitebeard: Anyone coming with me… throw your life down with me, and follow me!! Everyone: Uooooo!! Let’s go!! Whitebeard comes down from the ship, and heads to the enemies. So WhiteBeard is going in ! |

Some of you are being a little hypocritical here. The marines are living in a world infested with devious pirates who play by no rules/fairness, and yet you guys accuse the marines as being treacherous, cheap bastards? Pirates can get away with this kind of behaviour and the marines can't? Come on now. It's just like the saying, "fight fire with fire." This was by no means a cheap shot.
