Is the raw out? Didn't realize it.

Man, I am stoked!!! Of course the reactions and such were expected, but did you see that epic 2-page spread with Luffy and Whitebeard!? Man, oh man. I don't know, maybe I'm just a sucker for 2-page spreads of the epic proportions.

Anyway, I kind of had to do a lol at Whitebeard's non-reaction to Crocodile attacking him. It was almost like Whitebeard didn't even notice him. And to think, during the Alabasta arc, we thought he was a pretty strong person. Makes you put things in perspective.

I'm kind of happy that despite being a rookie, Luffy is still getting the well-deserved recognition from Shichibukai and Admirals alike. Even though -- at this point -- Luffy hasn't shown us that he could control his haki and actually put up a fight against some of the tougher opponents in this war, it still makes me pretty excited to see that Luffy is viewed as a pretty big threat to them.

Loved Garp's reaction and can't wait to see how this all unfolds.

And finally we could learn how they ended up in the sky XD

well when 2 of the Shichibukai have been beaten by him why wouldnt they take him seriously?

hes been doing allot of insane things 2 out of the 3 major marine bases/HQ in the first half of grand lane have fallen to him and now hes at the 3rd

he takes em down here then the first half of grand lane truely did fall to him

so 2/3 of the marines have lost to him and 4/7 Shichibukai have fallen or befriended him and 1 is natural out of admiration of his crew i think

not only that but he has ties to 2 of the 4 pirates that rule over the new world

and his father is leader of the rebellion

one of their biggest goals as marines/world gov'n was to keep the balance of the 3 major power and luffy has thrown it all off

as i see it 2/3 of the first half have been defeated and 1/2 the second half isnt a major threat to him

govn knows all this thats why they have taken him seriously or they would just be foolish

this chapter is another huge build up kinda getting me down with all these build up chapters and soo few fighting lately well the intro to white beards streaght was just a few chapters ago but still i was hoping they would just start off beating them marines down

brooks didnt get to see the panties T.T she was stolen
well its ok im sure he can beat them down and save her

That 2 page spread was freakin' overkill. I loved it too.

I'm happy to finally see Luffy getting some recognition from the big bosses of the war, though we still don't know how he is going to keep up with Whitebeard's "importance" throughout this entire epicness. As for the next chapter... I have no idea about what's going to happen. It's all up to Oda-chi.

Yeah. I still want to see what Ace's thoughts are. We really weren't shown much of what he is thinking right now of Luffy's arrival. Surprised, yes. But I'm curious to see if he's angry with Luffy on coming (which he probably is) or somewhat happy too?

Also gotta keep in mind this is being broadcast to the entire world. Everyone is going to see Luffy now. :D

But man, I wonder what direction this war will go in next. The next chapter is definitely up in the air.

Luffy challenging whitebeard... can't see why the others are so surprised, but hell yea, tell it to the old man and show him whos boss. Now I'm even more stoked to see how Luffy will grow stronger. Although despite the attention given to him I can't see him affecting this large scale war of the worlds with his current power.

On a side note, Luffy's crew is becoming so obscured by all these big figures, so much that it doesn't matter if they don't return for the next 100 chapters lol.

It was very lucky that Akainu melted that ice some chapters ago. So Luffy wasn't the only survivor. Luffy just appeared from sky in front of WB and declared that he is the one to become pirate king. In national broadcast. In front of THE Whitebeard!

Btw, I have been thinking...
You believe Whitebeard would use his connections to bring Strawhat's together after all this is over?

Now, He's only widening the gap :P

Recently, each chapter makes me want to read it over and over again and wonder what's going to happen next.
I hope the rest of the Strawhat's crew will show up in the near future.
And I think that Dragon and Shanks are going to make their entrance soon too.

Oda is amazing, each and every week it is some new kind of epicness. Whitebeard and Luffy's 2 page spread was amazing, can't wait for next chapter.

I am also a little curious as to what Boa is going to do now that Luffy has shown up.

O-Y! O-Y! Luffy challenging Whitebeard? He's totally not strong enough to take care of anyone down there, unless they are gonna tell us that he had developed some new moves that powered him up behind our backs(like that hakki stuff they were talking about earlier), like he did with the whole second gear and third gear moves (We were never shown how he got the moves, only that he has already gotten the moves). Cuz I definitely can't see him making any damage not to even talk about saving Ace, without a huge power up.

2nd gear was developed after his fight with the spring dude

3rd gear is just balloon +

imposible

they have no clue where each other are they can only find thier way back to Rayleigh they have his card not luffys or any1 elses just Rayleigh and the card doesnt tell you where the other cards are just the original owner

i got a feeling nami will find her own way back

robin will take a bit of time with the rebels who are connected to luffys dad so will some how find a way through them

chopper is gonna kick that big bird into submission and fly back

i bet the guys sent them to islands they would end up on in the second half with the exception of the people who have been mentioned i think they will just pick each other up or something

chopper and robin gotta use thier own means to get back

Excited. But unless Luffy miraculously has a higher control on haki I don't see him doing much damage. I think at most he should stick to saving Ace. The downside is next is round 2 of the war. An things are about to get serious.

Words can't discribe this chapter. They need to put the name Oda Eiichiro next to Epic in the dictionary.

But yeah can't see Luffy actually doing a lot in this fight unless he releases his enormous haki .

Luffy meeting WB was even more epic than the epic epics usually are. I'll post more observations later.

Luffy's gonna have an impact, but it's not a Kobe-type of impact, more of a derek Fisher or Shannon Brown type. Look at Luffy's immediate impact this chapter:

+ Jimbei
+ Iva-san
- Croc/Mr. 1
? Buggy and Impel prisoners
+ Hancock

In short, Luffy's a game-changer. Plus, he has that X-factor with him as well. So while I still don't believe he'll actually defeat someone outrageous, he'll still contribute (I can't really see how Ace will actually die at this stage).

^^ yes, there has. maybe some other work for the movie this december.

now, some observations:

I completely didn't see WB's waves being why the prisoners dropped from such height (LOL at them falling the other way).

I had an inkling Jozu's ice hole would save them so good on that.

Page 6 top panel. Wolverine-tonfa guy. Awesome. Wish the SH would meet some of these pirates in the New World.

Great reactions from everyone.

Oda using Crocodile to get some Luffy/WB interaction = Brilliant. one of those things that makes you believe Oda has this scene in mind ever since Croc started expressing his intention to kill WB.

Luffy's PK speech = great. It's naive and bashful, but we all believe him.

All in all, this chapter was Luffy's big debut to the Top Tier club, with WB on his side. I can't think of a better entrance.

I love everything in this chapter but like everyone else favorite WB and Luffy, a little bit past and recognitions from everyone, well everything was awesome... I love Garp's and Moria's reactions, Moria seemed afraid made me laugh a lot and Kizaru got the permission... I wonder how Luffy gonna stand up to him...

I hope Luffy will have some influence on Garp and then Garp will join Luffy's side.
