I enjoyed the interaction between the admirals in this chapter. The siege walls didn't rise in time due to Aokiji's thick layer of ice, and because of that Akainu put the blame on Aokiji for all of the structural damage. Subsequent to that, we have Kizaru say (in a witty way, of course  ) that that delay could have been avoided if Akainu melted the ice. I just found this scene funny for some reason.
@The Small One - At the end of chapter 549, we're told that 3 hours remain until Ace's execution. At the end of chapter 561, we're told that there is about 1 hr and 30 min before Ace's execution remaining. That being said, at least 1 hr and 30 min have passed since the start of this war. |
Ace is mere bait to lure Whitebeard to this trap, sure he is son of Roger and carrier of his legacy but real reason for this war is to kill Whitebeard and wipe out his forces.
Sengoku could kill Ace anytime he would want but he really wants to wipe out Whitebeard and his pirate allies.
He cant show massacre of pirates on media since it would cause an public relations uproar on the world. However they want to show execution of Ace in public media since its PR victory for marines and WG.
So aslong as Whitebeard forces stay alive then Marines are unable to kill Ace... they need to wipeout pirates off-screen and then kill Ace with visual confirmations.
