If he dies, it's going to be Oda's excuse to show us Luffy super saiyan gears 1.

I won't believe it until he get funeral though. Phoenix is already taken sadly, but watch him come back to life next chapter with a power increase.

I'm okay with people dying, as long as they stay dead. Shit like what Kish did in Naruto, bringing back the whole village, is as annoying as fuck. I'm betting within the next arc or two, Luffy and Dragon will finally meet up, and this whole Operation Rescue Ace failure will help tie that in.

[Souj]

Spoilers have been confirmed true, there's still a slight chance they could be false but I doubt it.

"slight chance it could be false" and "confirmed" can't exactly be in the same sentence. Unless there's a "not" before the confirmed.

It's been "confirmed" true by the people that confirm the spoilers when they get the proof they're real. They have their ways of knowing, pics, hardproof that it is being sent by someone trustworthy or whatever. Still they're human and could be fucking around with people or mess up.

I don't mind if peolpe start dying, but if Oda want to go for a darker mood, he will have to live up to the hype. White Beard's death was acceptable in the context since we barely knew him, and he was old, but killing Ace for this would set a new standard.

Just because Oda is killing off Ace doesn't mean he's going to start offing everyone. I see it like Hughes death in Fullmetal Alchemist or Jiraiya's death in Naruto, helping to bring the manga a little bit of maturity and character development. As for WB vs Ace dying, it's not like we know a whole lot about Ace either. Looking back on it, Oda had to flesh out Ace's past and character in this arc, so it would mean something when he died. Although WB's dying can advance the story, it won't do anything to help develop Luffy's character whereas Ace's death will.

Spoilers 100% confirmed I've seen the pics. I'd link but post count wont allow it :-/

[Souj]

was more or less hoping they were false because that means the Bleach spoilers also are probably true then... and the bleach spoiler is retardedly super stupid.

I wasnt implying everyone would die, but Hughes dying in FMA (and nina before) did set the mood to something more serious. One piece has been light hearted for over 10 years now, with very little drama, something like this would definitively change how you see the world. Oda will most likely be able to handle it, but still, it's a big change.


His death wont be useless for character development. Luffy's grandfather will obviously react (he was suposed to protect him and failled), Whitebeard as well, and not to mention Luffy who will definitively flip out. From a story telling perspective, the opportunities are great, and I welcome his death. It's just weird after everything they went through, to see someone dies like this after getting beat up.


That said, I still don't think he is dead. >_> ,

Not enough emo-tears.

Mangahelpers has the full chapter raw, but the pages are out of order. Should be pages 11-17 then 1-10 (I think, iirc).

Also, sorry to derail the thread a bit, but does anyone know if the One Piece movie Strong World has been subbed? I usually watch all my Anime from Animecrazy and I have not seen it posted there. If anyone could give a link or an update on it, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

saw this movie in Japan, it was rather boring.
Nothing new, nothing amazing and no spoilers on current manga story line.

Wow @ Luffy's facial expression in the last panel. Just that tells you how furious he will be next chapter. Maybe we'll finally get to see some Kings' Haki action! Can't wait to see what happens!!
