Last time, the story of Luffy's past had finally came to a close. What new events await us now that we're back in the present? Let's take a look now, shall we....?

-Chapter title is "Hey, brother". The splash page features Jinbei and Mihawk this time around.

-Garp returns to his home in East Blue's Goa kingdom. The Fuschia villagers greet him, and express their concern about the state of the world now that Whitebeard's dead. They also say that they spotted a pirate ship in the vicinity, but Garp reassures them that he sunk the ship in question. They also tell him of a mountain bandit that's been hanging out at their bar, and it's at this time that a very upset Dadan rushes at Garp and attacks him with a log. She then accuses him of doing nothing to prevent Ace's death, but Makino comes to his defense, saying that there was nothing he COULD do during that situation, and that he's undoubtedly traumatized by the event. However, Dadan says that Luffy's the one in the most shock, and Makino has a brief flashback of the two brothers. The mayor then asks Garp about Luffy's whereabouts, and the vice-admiral replies that Luffy most likely survived since he escaped in a submarine. Dadan then expresses her concern for Luffy, but says that she'll always be on his side, and that he shouldn't let this experience bring him down.....

-Meanwhile, Shanks and Whitebeard's crews are holding a funeral for the fallen emperor and his son. Shanks tells Marco that despite being his enemy, he had great respect for Whitebeard, as did Sengoku. He then leaves, silently expressing his concern for Luffy. He says that both victory and defeat is necessary in order to become a man, and while Luffy may be grieving now, he must learn to cope with his loss......

-Back at Amazon Lily, a devastated Luffy still calls himself weak. Jinbei tries to calm him down, but the young pirate just gets filled with rage and lashes out at the merman. Jinbei restrains him and tries to reason with him, saying that he's been letting himself be consumed with guilt due to all of his recent losses. He then asks Luffy to think of what he still has left, to which he replies..... his crew. He then says he has to meet up with them, and Jinbei has a brief flashback where Ace talks to him about Luffy at Impel Down. He says that Luffy's not just a little brother who clings to him anymore, because he had reliable companions of his own to support him now. Back in the present, Luffy voices his great desire to reunite with his shipmates once more.......

...Wow, what a powerful chapter. I actually think the scene Dadan may have had a bigger impact on me than Jinbei's talk with Luffy. While she may have been a questionable choice of a guardian at first, she really has proven to be quite a mother figure for Luffy, after all. The scene with Shanks was nice too, since it's great to see that he was also genuinely worried about the boy he bet the future of piracy on. Now this makes it even harder to guess what will happen next chapter (although I'm still betting on that timeskip coming to pass)......

Amirali · 2010-06-30, 02:14

I wonder why Dadan didn't join the "Rescue Ace" mission then, if she was so keen to save his life? True, it would have been near impossible, but given that she was upset at Garp for not doing anything against ridiculous odds, she's one to talk.

Freya · 2010-06-30, 02:19

So since they had a funeral....Ace is dead. K? yeah.

Luffy finally remembers his crew!! haha.

Still waiting for Shanks and Luffy to meet up. Probably won't happen till after Luffy gets his crew back.

Yep, there's even a grave and everything:

Personally, I'm wondering how they found his hat.....

velocd · 2010-06-30, 02:28

I'm glad to see Luffy finally remember his crew. I wonder whether his cremates have been traveling to Sabody all this time, or Luffy arrives at Sabody and finds nobody there. At which point I see him taking his ship back from the Rosy Life Riders (assuming they still have it) and sailing off to find his crew.

At first though I don't see Luffy going anywhere in his current state.. time for a Kuja feast.

Was thinking the same.. surprised it didn't burn up in giant fireball aftermath that was Ace v. Blackbeard.

The last time Luffy remembered his crew was in Amazon Lily until he learned of Ace's execution.

He then focused everything on the execution for that 1 week of travel, the time he spent in Impel Down and at the battle at the execution site. He was then left unconscious for an amount of time.

I don't think he took long to remember his crew, in fact he remembered his crew really fast. He remembered them even when he's still grieving over Ace.

I wonder if Whitebeard's crew will be disbanded or will Marco take over the crew.

There simply wasn't have enough time for "ordinary" people, especially those outside grandline, to reach execution site in time. Remember that the world only knew WG would execute ace some 10-15 days prior D-day.

Darmill · 2010-06-30, 02:41

Wow sounds very promising. Speaking of Luffy, he doesn't only have his crew waiting for him. We're awaiting the probably biggest marriage ceremony in One Piece history (the wedding of Luffy & Hancock)

Still doesn't explain how Whitebeard's crew came into possession of it, though. That is, unless Blackbeard picked it up and handed it over to the marines after thrashing Ace or something.....

I still think the remaining Whitebeard pirates will form an alliance with Shanks' crew, since Shanks had even offered Marco a spot in his crew during his last chat with Whitebeard. I don't expect it to happen right away, but it could definitely happen sometime in the near future.....

THey should all merge with Shank's crew.

The Chaos · 2010-06-30, 03:20

Finally Luffy remember his crew , I hope Boa join him with the searching

Homura7 · 2010-06-30, 07:10

Did you notice that after two weeks Garp is back from Marineford to the East Blue? Then not even half a year passed since Luffy left his hometown.

Don't see anything wrong with that. Marines can travel across the calm belt easily.

DJ Trouble · 2010-06-30, 07:48

I was going to read the spoilers, but . . . since this is the first chapter in awhile I've really been looking forward to, I'm going to wait until it comes out. >_>

MihawkXGP · 2010-06-30, 07:52

U can see Joz in that picture...he has his arm...albiet bandaged up...but it looks like he isn'#t gonna spend his days with only 1 arm.

Great chapter. I loved the memorial for Ace & Whitebeard......and the 10s 1000s of pirates that are there.... i wonder what Island it is...

marvelB · 2010-06-30, 09:21

BTW, in that pic I posted, you can see that Ace and Whitebeard weren't the only fallen pirates to have a memorial, considering the number of swords shown there (curious that there doesn't seem to be one for Oars Jr., though..... I guess this means he either survived or became Moria's newest toy after all

).

Yeah, I definitely see that Jozu's patched up, but it looks like his entire body is wrapped in bandages, which makes it hard to see whether or not he really did lose that arm of his. As for the location, the only thing we know is that it's somewhere in the New World. Perhaps Luffy visit this location at some point during his travels.....

james0246 · 2010-06-30, 09:25

^Oars grave would be too big, so they put him in an urn and gave him a plaque instead

.

Seriously though, great looking chapter. From Dadan's emotional outburst, to the great 2-page spread of Luffy remembering his nakama. Great stuff indeed.

marvelB · 2010-06-30, 09:29

BTW, something interesting I noticed is that Buggy doesn't seem to be present for the funeral, even though he had apparently left Marineford with Shanks. Could this mean that the two of them parted ways before Shanks returned to the New World....?

Blackbeard D. Kuma · 2010-06-30, 10:37

Seriously, Jimbei should have given Luffy a nice punch to the face. You don't lash out at somebody who genuinely cares for your well being and is trying to help you out. Can Luffy not compose himself? He has much to learn.
