The highlight of this ep was seeing Dragon since he's been rarely seen in the OP series. Seeing Ace's haki animated was good. What I don't get is why didn't the Captain get knocked out. He doesn't seem to be a person that could withstand a person's haki and he doesn't even know about it to boot. This arc is winding down to a close. Can't wait for the next one though I doubt they'll continue going by the manga since the opening kinda hinted that we may get filler eps about what's happening with the rest of the crew.

lol fail suspense is fail. dunno how the director expects us to believe that Ace's life would ever be in danger at this point in time. :D

Episode's a bit slow now, hopefully next episode makes up for it.

Good episode. I expected to see Dragon within the fire after the haki was used since it didn't seem that Luffy used it and I'm uncertain if Ace has that type of power since I can't remember ever seeing him use it in the past. Can't wait till next week.

Judging by the preview it looks like two more episodes will finish it. I feel bad for ace and luffy, but sabo's easily got it the worst, he actually has to live with that now. You know, until...

I didn't find the suspense "fail." It's definitely not about whether Ace's life (or Luffy's life for that matter) is in danger. I want to know what happens next.. and considering that I can't wait for next week's episode I'd say they did a good job.

Great episode.

lol! have you even been watching OP so far? is that your first ep? or do you just not get the concept of a shounen?
coincidentally, dragon is luffy's father. and omfg.... luffy is the protagonist. and oh, almost nothing is known about dragon. so, why do you think there is a hype around this mysterious creature?! well, well, well.

I'm actually amazed that Bluejam was stupid enough to believe that deal with the King. I mean this is the same nobility willing to massacre everyone in the Gray Terminal and he believed any deal with the King would be honored? The whole point is to destroy everything they perceive as ugly which includes the local pirates. That group might be similarly evil, but they wouldn't fit into the nobility. Besides the nobility are so full of themselves they'd never accept pirates being given titles. What's funny is that even if Bluejam survives the whole thing can just be pinned on him.

Interesting to see Dragon around though. When hearing what Sabo has to say it's somewhat easy to see how he could be driven to revolution. Monsters like that royal family are so corrupt and able to ruin so many lives, something had to be done.

Still I'm looking forward to getting to the end of this arc. Been way too long since we saw the crew.

There will be at least 3-5 episodes after the childhood, and maybe they can stretch them even more actually, so the crew is still far away... :)

Ugh, tell me about it. When he was stalling in disbelief, going "hey, open the door", I was this close to palming my face.

Good episode. Glad it came out the same day I caught up to episode 500.

Dragon is priceless. Makes sense why Garp would raise Luffy there of all places, but I can't say I'm too approving of how he chose to raise Luffy.
The dialog with Sabo was really powerful. Sabo's a really smart kid, and I loved the insight about why Dragon became a Revolutionary (not Sabo specifically, but the overall state of his country). Can't really blame him. Gosh, Windmill village is in such a contrast to almost everywhere else in the kingdom x_X

Luffy and Ace are adorable. It's sweet the kid who wanted to kill Luffy would go as far as to use his Haki to save him <3

So much hype for Dragon. Anyway, the people that was torn between who used the Haki Dragon or Ace, are you fucking serious? -_- Dragon is on the OTHER side of the door, also rewatch Marineford, when Luffy uses "Haoushoku Haki", Ace said "you too?" Just like how mentioned Sabo in Marineford arc, all to clear it up. :) Not to mention how obviously, they made it that Ace is the one who used it. Though, why didn't he train haki, he was Shirohige's 2nd division commander, he should have learned how to use Haki from the other commanders.

I want to know if Dragon posses an Akuma no Mi power or not.

2 more episodes and Luffy's past is done. :D

It's made like to reflect their inner world. Is like when you meet a really awful person. Even if his/her appearance looks relatively good, after knowing the person even it's outside appearance starts to seem ugly and distorted. Obviously in a manga there is no time for such a thing for secondary characters so he gives them the appearance they would have had if you knew them and knew well what disgusting creature they really are.

Dragon wasn't quite in the area at that time. And Ace is Roger's son. There's no reason why he wouldn't have the Haki.

Sigh, when it happened Bluejam looked at Ace and said, "what did you do?" there's nothing which hints that it was Dragons doing. When Dragon saved Luffy in Loguetown I'm surprised Smokes didn't draw the conclusion their related somehow (friendship,family,etc)

Maybe he did, but found no evidence. I'm sure the Marines must've investigated Dragon's background thoroughly, but if there was no record of Dragon having family ties, it'd be a dead-end lead-wise.
At least, such records weren't accessible to Smoker and Tashigi. At the very least Sengoku knew but that might've just been due to his relation with Garp.

No, all that Dragon implied is that he was also born in Goa Kingdom. That doesn't mean he is part of anything.

There's a difference between Haki and its variants. All those you mentioned can use Haki, but the "King's Haki" that Luffy is supposedly capable of using was only implied to be an ability of Roger. Ace now shows he could have had it as well (he is Roger's son after all).

OHMYGOD! Just got goosebumps when Ace used the King's Haki! I think Ace had to die for Luffy to become the Pirate King, Luffy just doesn't compare to Ace's strength. And Dragon?! DRAGON SHOWED UP?!
Also, I am not looking forward to seeing that damn booger faced Celestial Dragon.

It didn't make sense to me either. Maybe the haki wasn't very strong?

Was great to see Ace's haki. I think it would be safe to assume that being Gol D Roger's son he has also the king's haki. As for the captain who didn't faint we have to keep in mind that Ace is 10 at the time. He is just a kid. Luffy's haki appeared at 17... Also the captain might be an idiot but maybe he is strong...??? A strong idiot XD
Anyway, I was suprised to see Dragon. Will he take Sabo with him? I mean so far Sabo is revolutionary material :P
