| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Early chapter is early. Not a bad chapter for one that's meant to be transitional. I'm glad that it's moving pretty fast, and not brushing over every single detail of the brother's childhood. |

| Good chapter. We also find out who Sabo was too...an old childhood acquaintance. And man, Ace was surely an ass back in the day. I can already imagine that Luffy's honesty and happy-go-lucky attitude problem helped convert Ace slowly, but man, it's still going to be interesting to see how it happened. And my image of Dadan also changed somewhat too. I had thought that she would have trained the boys somewhat. Doesn't seem like that's the case though. Anyway, yep. Good chapter. Pace went quickly and good start to the backstory. Doesn't seem like it'll last too long either. PS: Luffy's face when he sucks at lying is priceless. :D |
| Medium chapter. |
 |
| Liked it, but yea Ace and Sabo are a bunch of jerks. I do get the feeling Sabo isn't gonna make it till the end of this flashback. |
 |
| lol i do not know... Luffy kid is one crazy kid. |
| i don't think we have heard of sabo in the present- so i don't think hes going to make it |

|
| And he persisted! that's Luffy XD |
 |
| His face when he was lying was adorable. I <3 Luffy! |
| Lol "wow you suck at lying" Go Luffy |
  |
| nice. i see this going on for another 3 chapters. :p |
 |
| I love backstories. <3 |
     |
| It's interesting to see these guys at a young age before they became almost god-like with their abilities. I liked Luffy's lying talents. That was funny. |
| I reject your reality, and substitute my own. |
| Looks like the new cover story will be about Absalom and Dr. Hogback. Unless it's a one time thing. And dayum, spoilers were super early and so was the chapter. |
     |
| Wow, Luffy was so presistent into befriending Ace. And also, lolz at his face when he was lying XD |
| This is a signature. |
| Well I hated this, I really only wanted this back story to be a chapter long because I want the crew back so badly. I don't want Oda to drag this out to long. |
| Hopefully this won't go for too long. The Straw Hat crew is the best thing about one piece |
| niiiice chapter :D for a moment i thought Sabo has Ace's hat )) but he has another one) |
| lmao seems Luffy is getting in trouble straight away xD |

We are still going to have to wait a while for everyone to get back together. And I doubt this will get dragged out too long. I give it 2-3 more chapters. This flashback is also VERY important to the storyline, so I hope it is not rushed and Oda takes his time. I am interested in this Sabo character though. He is a very important friend of Ace, and will probably become a very important friend to Luffy. But since he is a good friend to Ace, I wonder why he has never been brought up before in the storyline. We knew about Dadan, the Admirals, and a few others before they made an appearance. I wonder if he is still alive in the present OP time. He has to be, right? Then again, everyone dies in a flashback, so = smokes said: for a moment i thought Sabo has Ace's hat )) but he has another one) I did also, but it's missing the smileys. Maybe it is the same hat, and Ace just puts smileys on it, or something. edit: Alright, the hat is way too large to be Ace's. So nvm. edit #2 mulderman said: God dammit Oda you did it again! kage-bunshin said: i don't think we have heard of sabo in the present- so i don't think hes going to make it Only other time he was brought up was when Ace died. The translation I read has Ace saying "....If it weren't for the Sabo thing...." So basically, something happens to Sabo, and it made Ace want to live.... so yeah, I am 100% sure he dies. I should also read every post in a thread before posting srsly, but w/e. |

| Luffy is Luffy, but man, Ace sure has changed over time. I'm loving this flashback though. All these kids are some tough little bastards. |
 |
| Luffy lying is so cute! He was one persistant little brother though! |

You took the words right out of my mouth. It's been such a long time since we have seen the crew and Luffy alone isn't really enough to keep this going, for me at least. I understand completely, I also can't wait till the crew gets back together. But we have to keep in mind that them splitting up was a major part of the story, as well as finally getting some real background info on Luffy and Ace. I think everyone wants the crew back together, but it's not a reason for Oda to skip stuff and rush trough important material in order to do so. Have a little bit more patience. Flashback should take 2-3 more chapters, and I'm pretty sure Luffy will go after his crew then. |
|
| @Justice316 yeah, everybody dies in flashbacks :( so i think Sabo will die.... damn |
| Huh I wasn't a fan of Ace before but now I hate him :> |
 |
| Luffy ain't made for lying. XD |

 |
| I would have liked to get some kind of explanation for Luffy's persistence to make friends with Ace, and why he went to the pirates. And the part where Luffy thinks back to Shanks was clumsily handled. Aside from those details, this flashback is very interesting. Ace's reaction of Luffy is ok, he has no reason to trust anyone because of his experiences caused by his background, and he has to keep the stash a secret + he's very busy collecting funds for the pirate ship. I just wonder what his motivation for becoming a pirate is. |
 |
| Little Luffy is just too cute ;__; |
| I like where this is going. Last page was a huge lolz. |
 |
| Luffy is a nub. |

But he wants to imitate shanks so thats the best way he could think of. I meant technique-wise, the Shanks-recollection's placement and presentation as panels on paper were lacking. It's not that big of a deal though, Oda got the message across to me. The way Luffy was trying to be more like Shanks by forgiving Ace for spitting on him was perfectly in character for 7-year-old Luffy, and in my opinion the most clever part of this chapter. |
| |
| ^yeah.. best part also the funniest part was his reaction to Dadan when she said that he should eat for himself XDD he was like 'Okay' XDDDDDDDDDDDDD |
| Ace was so evil and Luffy sucks at lying. =) |
 |
| Luffy is a talented little kid when it comes to lying. xD |

| I liked how we got an early chapter, but this chapter was alright. |
 |
| It was an okay chapter. |

| I was surprised that Luffy didn't fight with Ace but followed him all the time. He seems to have liked Ace from the beginning :D Damn, Luffy and lying don't match one bit. I laughed a lot at his face :DD Now, Ace & Sabo for the rescue 8D |

| that was pretty boring...I tend to like all the One Piece backstories....but I can't bring myself to care about this one at all...not to mention it feels like a very cookie cutter type flashback |
