Ronse decided to yell out "ah ha! caught you off guard!", where as Squado did what you are supposed to do when you catch someone off guard... which is just attack Ronse pretty much ruined his advantage with that line... Lesson for Ronse... Attack THEN gloat Not to mention Squado was also a lot closer when he launched his attack |

The way the chapters are moving is getting a little annoying. Every chapter seems to have to have some shocking end.
It feels that a LOT is happening, but very little is being said. I'm curious how long it will be until the crew is reunited. I guess right now the VA for the rest of the crew are enjoying some vacation time from the series, unless they voice other characters in these arcs. Zoro shows up during Impel Down and Nami, but those are really Bon Clay. I'm guessing when they get to the escape from Impel and and the rush to Marineford. They will probably have some filler episodes telling the tails of the rest of the crew. They way they were told in those splash pages to the chapters. Out of all of those, the only one that seemed t get any real finale was Robin's. The revolutionaries saved the people.

Once again a plot twist which makes the wait for the next chapter unbearable. Also, I now think Luffy isn't going to have any major opponent in this war and he'll be merely running around briefly encountering the major enemies but continuing to head for ace.
As for squado why couldn't he stab whitebeard in the heart? Was that the hightest he could jump? |

granted though, when you consider the level of strength of these characters, splitting bone would be child's play... unless Whitebeard really really enjoys his milk |

Also, even if you can reach a spot you still need to be in a proper position to be able to exert enough force... That's why in forensics they can give a pretty good guess to the height of an attacker from a stab wound. Bones I imagine are fairly easy to break (and just as easy to heal) in the OP world. Now chest muscles...those might be a problem for some of the characters. |

Not to mention they are already pretty damn zealous... an injured Whitebeard would sooner make them careless than more effective |

If Whitebeard dies then world of OP will have its biggest shift since Gol D Rogers death. Even if remaining pirates could prevail and save ace world would still plunge in chaos.
Whitebeards death will summon massive power vacuum in New World and other emperors will step in to gain power plunging New World in total chaos. If Luffy and other SH's regroup again and continue to New World it ain't gona be pretty, entire ocean will be in chaos and there wont be much order on it. But for lesser pirates this is good news, now that Whitebeard wont be guarding One Piece anymore pirates have better shot towards One Piece. And judging by that wound I guess Whitebeard has received a fatal found, he may not die in next chapter or chapter after that but he has been killed anyway. |

I think whitebeard's death at this point is pretty much a given. As many others have pointed that his death is the only way for the story to move forward. And it would be poor writing if the whitebeard pirates were able to rescue Ace without a major loss.
The question now though is how Whitebeard will die, I highly doubt one stab is enough to take him out, He will still be alive after rescuing ace but succumb to his injuries i think. Its a pity though, i wish we were given more background to his character in flashbacks. Last edited by Poetic Justice; 2009-10-30 at 16:01. |

But, the way they arrive will also be a shocking end-scene in some of the future chapters. Chaos means an open invitation to the Revolutionaries to start their biggest attack on the WG. And, this time the pirates would provide some significant help for their plans. If you consider the risks that WG is taking to end this fight, I think, this will be a good opportunity for the revolutionaries to become known as one of the good sides to follow. As long as doubt will be triggered in people's minds regarding the WG. |

Also, A character like Whitebeard will die a death that befits a character of his awesomeness. Although frankly, I'll NEVER acknowledge Blackbeard as being superior to Whitebeard even if he does come out victorious, because i have no doubt WB in his prime would annihilate Teach. |

If majority of military power of WG is focused on one single place then he should take an advance of situation and overthrow more kingdoms... Of course I am not sure can Dragon really affort to lose Whitebeard in this war, even if Dragon dont have any ties with pirates he still cant afford someone like Whitebeard to fall, that would mean that World Goverment would have luxury for sending even more forces against Revolutionaries. |
