Cover: Oda is one of the last bastions who fights against political correctness, letting his protagonists smoke. That shit don't fly anymore in Hollywood.
Oh yeah note how mangastream teamed up with binktopia so now the annoying watermark is twice the size! Hip hip hoorah! I love those guys for the super fast releases but that's just bleh. Anyways on with the story..
Silent Anger
Last chapter ended with a tragic death scene for Ace that made many an eye swell up with tears. Oda sure knows how to shake things up, not only did he kill off a popular character, this also means that the whole rescue operation turned out to be a major bust! The title implies that Whitebeard is going to let his actions speak rather than his words. Let's go have a look:
First we get the obligatory crowd reactions.
Facepalm by Jimbei
(this just made me laugh..)
"This isn't a flashback! Ace can't be dead for realz!"
The whole pirate collective is lamenting that Ace got rivered.
(everyone plays poker and knows what that means, right?)
Also note that Oars is missing.. Moria did you do that??
Jimbei received feedback that he was too humorless to join the strawhats, so he continues to make funny faces.
Luffy is still unconscious and looking quite gruesome.
Akainu attacks! Haha gotta love the hero to the left trying to attack with his puny sword. A+ for effort!
Marco blocks the magma attack and shouts out that the pride of the Whitebeard pirates now rests in saving Luffy. Nice PR spin bro, that's why you're Whitestache's righthand man.
I admire your determination Akainu, but killing the main character of the story, come on, that's a bit too ambitious even for you
Oh shit it's epicstache!
No country for old men? Strike one for Whitebeard!
Akainu counters and disintegrates half of the old man's face in one blow! Holy hell!
Also this confirms that DODGING is clearly not in whitebeard's dictionnary.
Halfstache retorts and shatters the screen. Strike two and Akainu is out!
WB: "GG NO RE"
Pops is not ready yet to go partying with Ace.
Close-up of Akainu in severe pain, for those that have been waiting to see this.
The Bernadelli Insurance Society now officially declares Whitebeard a "natural disaster" and refuses to pay for all of the damages.
Sengoku ffs stop fanboying over WB already and do something!
Just getting started? That would sound cooler if your brain wasn't hanging out but whatevs pops.
Hancock and Luffy's relationship just went to splitsville.
This is how I roll
Ok what's an extra from the Teletubbies doing in One Piece?
Looks like *someone special* has just joined the fray! Whoever could that be?
Here Oda employs the manga variant of the laugh track that is used in sitcoms: telling the audience how to react! Pretty slick huh.
(you hate laugh tracks? check out how bad it can be without them, clip from The Big Bang Theory with laughtrack removed, clicky )
The Blackbeard pirates?
HELL YEAH!!
After appearing in fake spoilers for months now, it's almost hard to believe they actually bothered to show up! And along with the crew we are familiar with, Blackbeard brought some new friends that he busted out of jail, they are none other than the legendary criminals that Ivankov mentionned many chapters ago in Impel Down.
1: Van Auger is sulking because he has to stand in the back. Seniority is worth nothing anymore these days..
2: Meet San Juan Wolf, aka the Colossal Battleship, sadly he was too big to fit in the picture. Does his "Battleship" nickname refer to his size, or can you actually sail around on this guy? Seems a bit awkward, but then again it's a step up from that shoddy raft the BBs were cruising with.
3: "Mighty Drinker" Basco Shot. You just KNOW this guy is gonna be fun!
4. Catarina Devon. Blackbeard got sick of having the biggest boobs in his crew so he recruited her.
5. Check out the drillarms on drillman.
epilogue
I have been waiting for Blackbeard to appear. Remember that he promised to shake the world to its core back in Impel Down, so I'm expecting a big show. He's no doubt here for Whitebeard's head, and brought some new people with new powers with him, which is always fun. All in all the war turned pretty gruesome in the last few chapters, with Luffy out for the count I expect the end of this arc to be near, and I do hope this end will be epic!
But there's some bad news too.
Oda went back to a 15 page chapter this week.
And there will be no chapter next week..
Also there is still no movie 10 sub out yet, we will probably have to wait for the DVDs in april
Oh and the financial crisis keeps searing on, with Greece being busto and all..
The end
