Hmm chapeter seems to have an apocalyptic feeling of upcoming 'world war'
All supernovas seem to be shocked to the core at news of Ace's executions. Only rough translations are out and some pictures but it I expect this to be good chapter and reveal alot of what happening to Ace and we will see how Luffy react to latest news. Looks like things are speeding up again. |

There is no way Luffy will not learn of this now. Its big news everywhere. I hope Ace doesn't get executed but goodness me, the last 2 chapters have really stepped it up a notch. |

Yup, looks like things are REALLY starting to heat up now. The "great incident" that was mentioned in the Ace/Blackbeard battle is finally coming to pass. Ace's execution is going to unquestionably bring forth Whitebeard's wrath across the Grand Line. Looks like the Straw-Hats are gonna have an even rougher time in the New World when they reach there than I thought...
At least now we know why Rayleigh is getting auctioned off (gambling debts? Yeesh!  ). And while Nami may stop Franky from wrecking the auction house now, it's inevitable that the place will get smashed to smithereens when Luffy and Zoro get there. It's definitey most interesting that Kidd wants to meet Luffy now, as well....And I just realized something: Impel Down is an underwater prison, right? I think that chances are good that it's located at Merman Island.... |

Marine HQ was beyond the GoJ also, yet the crew is near there right now on the Sabaody Islands. My guess is that the Gate of Justice is just a kind of shortcut to those two places...

Also, it turns out that Rayleigh's pirate alias is "冥王" which means something like "Underworld King". Pretty badass title if you ask me.

Rayleigh and Whitebeard.. Because theiy're going to face Whitbeard because of Ace's execution. and Rayleigh is legendary because of him being the right hand of Gol D. Roger. and i think that rayleigh does know somthing about: The Will of "D". him, Garp and Dragon of course. but another thing.. When Luffy hears about Ace's execution, he will chase the WG right to Impel down until he finds him .. along with Whitebeard and his crew. and then luffy will get the title of being the Fifth Emperor of the pirates. (along with Shanks,Whitebeard and the two other guys.) the YONKOUS. |

Executing Ace. Wow. That is a Pirate King treatment. It seems WG is really stupid to start a war against Whitebeard and Shanks. And that is the two of them. Who knows whether the others will stay quiet, and that others include Shichibukais (I would love to see Mihawk joining the action).

Luffy, an Emporer? Nah. He's reaching for greater heights than that! So for now, we'll just have to settle for him being a supernova.
Speaking of the supernovas, judging by how shocked most of them were about the news of Ace's execution, most of them may high-tail it out of Sabaody sooner than expected. I kinda doubt that the news will affect guys like Kidd or Law, though (especially Kidd, considering his opinion of the World Nobles in chap. 500). Oh, and I have a feeling that the Rayleigh situation will be resolved long before Garp gets the chance to do something about it... |

it would be great to see world war happen, but i doubt it. certenly whitebeard will have a say in the matter as well as other pirate crews coming into it, like shanks. but, i doubt that luffy will be among them, he is still not at that level. i think that he might find out about it much later after things have been solved or are coming to an end.
can't wait to see Garp's role in this as well as Dragon. Grandfather, Father and son might be at the same point in one time.

I think you are expecting too much out of Luffy's inclusion to a war scenario. While Whitebeard and others are busying WG, Luffy might use the lack of attention the WG might show regarding the Strawhats to their advantage and save Ace in the commotion. It would achieve the goal of saving Ace while not putting so much attention on the Strawhats.
