One Piece Highlights from EP1-516

Lets see One Piece with all it arcs before starting Timeskip, i wanna review One Piece as whole big story from East Blue saga till Summit War saga.

Before reaching Grandline, most arcs were about recruiting nakama, When reaching Grandline they met Chopper.

Alabasta is the first arc and it was long! but we met new characters:

- Vivi, she is still part of the nakama.

- We knew about Luffy's brother is Ace, that he is chasing Blackbeard

- Crocodile, the villain of the arc and he is a shichibukai (was).

- Robin was part of the crew

Later on the story continued to reach Skypea Arc, new island

- Luffy met Teach, only he did not he was Black Beard and the crew went to Sky island

and we met the villain, he was Enel.

the story of Norland was explained though out the arc.

---------

Water 7,  the huge arc:

- Where we Robin left the crew and Ussop did too, but they both are back and Franky part of the crew too!

- The crew said goodbye to Going Merry.

- Thousand Sunny was made.

---------

Thriller Bark arc is where the crew met Brook and through the whole arc fights happened and the highlight of it, was when Kuma came and he spared the crew lives and Zoro had to bear his captain's pain. and so

and then Saboady was the next island but it wasn't like we expected. From this point on everything was chaos. 

the crew got separated

when luffy find out about his brother being executed and running to impel down

and we met some characters again, crocodile, mr.2,buggy,mr.3,mr.4

Marine Ford arc where we saw WhiteBeard and his crew and allies,

the Marines, the Shichibukai and the Three Admirals and Garp and Senguko.

what happend:

-Ace's father is Gol D. Roger

-White Beard's Death

-Ace's Death :'( 

(omg i will cry *sniffs*)

then we have the post marine arc:

where Luffy is recovering and we see his past

and we know Sabo is ALIVE.

and then the message that Luffy sent to the crew that they are meeting in Saboady in 2 years.

---------

there were plot twists and touching moments and sad ones too. i felt as if this whole 516 episodes went by so fast, i needed to take a deep breathe and just appreciate the times i had so much fun watching it, i cried and laughed. some episodes were fillers and boring but i couldn't just miss them and some were amazing and thrilling i had to re-watch them.

what i love about one piece is the fights:

for example when Luffy fought Enel and Luffy is a rubber man so the power of lighting that Enel has was just useless against Luffy, Luffy was the only one who can defeat Enel

that just caught me off guard.

---------

Next is 517-522

Fullmetal Alchemist Vol.1 (manga) Review

i read volume 1, it was nice and adventurous

i remembered a story i wrote from 2010-2012 and it consisted in three 3 arcs but i stopped writing it.

reading this volume made me continue writing my story.

I want to say that all whats in this review is based on my own understanding so if i misunderstood something please correct me

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edward Alphonse Elric are both alchemist, they work for the military.

alchemy is a power that an alchemist have.

you can remake objects and use them and actually make a new kind of metal. and sometimes it involves science and technology.

but "foundation of the alchemy is the Equivalent  Exchange" 

so that mean to make something you must have the same amount of the thing you want to make?

for example if i want to make a statue, i have to use enough materials to make one, enough rocks or metal.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edward and Alphonse are in this town and there is this religious man, more like god to the people there.

he heard the people saying that he is a man of miracles.

so Edward and Alphonse went to see this man and they knew he was a fraud because they attended this ceremony of his. 

he uses this ring, which is powerful and Edward and Alphonse have been looking for. 

this ring gives you energy to make objects and stuff and its illegal according to the alchemy rules.

so Father Corenello (the fraud) expected them.

fights happened and then Edward make a mic in the room and let Corenello confess that he is a fraud and he wants people to follow his religion and be able to die for him and the sake for his religion.

when Edward defeated him and he was to take the ring, it was a fake. 

----

the next chapter was an adventure, they stopped at coal mines, and the people there were so poor and barely paid there taxes, when Edward and Alphonse came they were excited that they had customers and when they found out they were alchemist they kicked them out. the man who owns the mines is a lieutenant, he barges in and tells them to pay the taxes. he notice Edward and Edward shows him a medallion that shows he works for the king and stuff.

so the lieutenant change his attitude and invite him to dinner. and the lieutenant bribes him but edward is all like silent.

the lieutenant decided to burn down the people's place. and so when edward knows about this, he takes the coal left overs and turns them into gold (which is illegal) and he sends it to the lieutenant and asks him to sell the coal mine for him, the lieutenant agrees and edward asks him to add  "free of charge" and he sold it to edward. 

edward went straight to the people's house, and sold the coal mine for food and a place to stay. 

- it was a good happy ending *^*- 

the next chapter is that edward and alphonse are in the train and its hijacked, the military, are about to make a move but when they check the list of the passengers, they notice Edward and Alphonse in the list.

mean while, edward is sleeping and one the bad people are like waking him up, and when he says the word shorty, edward automatically beat the shit out of him (that part made me lmao)

so yeah he beat the shit out of them, when they reach the station, the military or Roy Mustang to be precise is there

Roy Mustang: a new character. he is a flame alchemist

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edward and Alphonse Past:

you will see that i did not include this in the description because its important.

so when the Elric brothers were young the wanted to bring there mother back to life, Edward was a smart boy, more like intelligent, he came up with a way to bring his mother back, but he was punished, how? i dont know, by who? i dont know, god?

the result of it that Edward lost his right arm and left leg. while his little brother lost all his body, back then Edward tried to bring his brother's soul to the robot and succeeded. 

and now they're looking for a stone to bring their body parts back.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hopes and Expectations:

- i hope Alphonse get his body back, i wanna see him!

- looking forward to a female heroine character? more brave and independent.

- Edward is funny and has a great personality, i hope they dont change that in the anime.

- i look forward for more explanation about Alchemy? and how does it work? can any one obtain such power? 

- i have a feeling Alphonse is gonna die. 

✧ Timeskip Predictions ✧

so before i start watching episode 517 i want to write a list of predictions:

1. The crew won't get together that easily.

2. Something will happen to Sunny, maybe because Kuma appeared in Saboandy so am kinda worried.



Character's Prediction:

Luffy:

he will finally master Haki, and will be able to control it, and i am looking forward to see a fight using Haki.

if Haki is hard to master maybe he will face some difficulties.


Zoro:

he will be fully trained by Mihawk, will he challenge him after the training is finished?

i dont know.

but Mihawk will be his sensei.

of course he will be way more hotter after timeskip, i have no doubt in that.


Nami:

she will more familiar to the New World weather, which will help the crew in their adventure

her hair will be longer, i think they really changed her completely after the timeskip.


Ussop:

i can't predict what might change in Ussop?

i would rather be surprised.


Sanji:

Well, Sanji will be handsomer i have no doubt in that.
he will learn the Okama Kimbo fighting techniques and cooking secrets.


Chopper:

chopper will be more informative about the medicine.
and yeah.


Robin:

she will change completely!! that i know

but if she is meeting with dragon, she probably have a message for Luffy? from dragon?


Franky:

he will also change entirely, after the explosion he will have to fix his cyborg self. and pf course reading Vegapunk's blueprints he will develop himself and change Sunny from head to toe??


Brook:

last time we saw him he was captured by the Longarm gang, he will be free from them so easily, but Brook was like in his ship for 50 years, so if he can go and explore the world and see what has changed, he need some quality time with himself, but will he go see Laboon? i wish he is.

Post-War Arc EP 505-516

Description:

last time we stopped at the flash back: when Luffy set sail and kicked the sea monster ass.

so later on,

the news about Luffy and Ace's death had spread all over the world.

so Dadan fights Garp and tells him how could he not do anything when ace was in front of his eyes. (he kinda deserve it)

Shanks and Marco are taking care of Ace and Whitebeard funeral.

Luffy is having a hard time struggling with all whats happening because right now he i the only one left, Sabo died (i dont think he is) and Ace died too, but Jinbie comes and tells him that he is not alone, and if he wants to be a pirate king he has to let go of all this self-blame, so Luffy remembers his crew *^*

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

so am gonna explain each memebers of the crew and how they reacted to the news, about Ace is death and luffy and the Marineford war.

Zoro:

so we all know Zoro was sent to this castle and Perona was there, so as they look around the forest and basically got attacked by the monkeys with swords and armor.
----
so he (Zoro) fights the monkeys, and they suddenly stop and have this frightened expression on their faces, and we hear footsteps.. its Mihawk! and he tells him the bad news. and Zoro is shocked and all what he could think of is how to get to Sabaondy.

and the castle belongs to Mihwak or his hometown am not sure.

isn't he handsome without the hat and all *v*

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nami:

she was sent to an island called Weatheria its a skypea island. and she discovers this new weather science and how can they make it rain in some places. so after she heard about the news she tries to escape but fails.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ussop:

he is in an  island called Byong and basically a big flower-like island and there is a lot of delicious food in it, but it closes it petals (its a flower shaped island) and in the middle there is a big hole more like a mouth that eats the animals. so Ussop meets this Herecele'n guy, but Ussop is tempted by the delicious food and gets fat, and Herecele'n guy save his from the eating island. but when Ussop hears the news he is surprised and he knows that he must hurry back to Sabaody.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sanji:

He is in the Kamabakka Island and its all Okama (basically men dressed as woman) so they try to turn him into an okama and he is forced to dress as one. but when he read the news he is back, and he wants to get out of this island. at the same time Ivankov is back (he is the queen of the island) and Sanji asks him about Luffy, Ivankov doe not believe him at first but then Sanji says he is gonna act like a pirate and fight them and steal a ship and hurry back to Sabaondy.

Wasn't Inazuma a guy?? or did Iva-san turns him into a woman?! 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chopper:

Chopper is in this island with only big huge birds and a bunch of people. those bunch of people tried to cook him before but he escaped and he raised and aided one of the huge bird's baby.

So later on he is captured by those bunch of people but he tells them that he can help them. so those bunch of people want this plants that are at the huge bird's nest to cure their patients. so Chopper said that he can talk to animals and he will help them. he goes and talk to one of the adult birds, but the bird says that they won't let the humans take their treasure and they attack Chopper, so the bunch of people attack the birds but Chopper protects the birds as he is falling off the cliff but he is rescued by the baby chick *^* so the story is that in the past humans tried to steal the birds' treasure, because those birds love shiny things so they kept them in their nest, and humans came to steal them, that is why they were attacking those bunch of people, so after that they make peace, a news paper arrives, Chopper gets the news and he is shocked.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Robin:

Robin is on Tequila Wolf  and its a construction of a massive bridge, she meets a girl who she helps her but later robin is captured by the guards. luckily this area is liberated by revolutionaries and so when she tries to escape they help her, and she received then news about Luffy and the war and ace's death. the revolutionaries asks her to come with them but she decline their offer because she had to go back to Sabaondy.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Franky: 

Kuma sent Franky to Karakuri Island where its also Vegapunk's hometown. he meets this boy and his father and they help him, his personality change after drinking tea, because they did not have cola there. he fights bunch of wild animals, and the boy takes him to Vegapunk laboratory and when they enter a fax is received and Franky reads about the news and he is shocked and worried. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brook:

at the time brook has arrived to this village, there was a ritual praying for satan and when brook arrives the exact time and place, the villagers believe he is satan and he has come to help them from the Longarm gang. brook he is in a room composing a song while the villagers thinks he is writing a curse.

he reads the news and so he is shocked..

____________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________

Back to Amazon Lily:

Law is chillin' with his crew, till a sea king rises from the waters and its defeated, who defeated it??

Its Silver Rayliegh! (he swam from Sabaondy and crossed the calm belt just to see Luffy)

while Luffy and Jinbie heading back, they notice that law is gone and Rayliegh is here. Rayliegh suggest something to Luffy.

Luffy goes to the marine ford with Jinbie and Rayeliegh, they hijacekd a war ship, Luffy goes the Ox bell and rings it 16 times (the first 8 means the end of an era, the next 8 meant the start of a new era), and throws flowers at the place and took off his hat, and people and the media took pictures and the news spread all over the world.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now the secret message is actually the tattoo on Luffy's left arm 

so i am gonna explain each member of the crew reaction after understand of the message:

Zoro:

so Zoro asks Mihawk for any more info about the Luffy and the war and stuff but Mihawk says that he already told him what he knew and he tells him there is a raft he can take it. so Zoro goes but he is attacked by the armored monkeys and they had copied all his techniques, (these armored monkeys actually copy human's fighting techniques) so he fight them but later he receives the news about Luffy and he notice the tattoo on his left arm.

Perona explains that if "3D" means "3 days" and Zoro understand that they will meet after 2 years. 

so Zoro goes to Mihawk and asks him to train him, but Mihawk says that you couldn't defeat the armored monkeys, Zoro shoots back saying that he defeated them. 

Zoro realized that he should be more stronger so he can go to the New World. 

and Mihawk told him to fight the huge armored monkey that is copying Mihawk's techniques. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nami:

so Nami goes to the elder man and tells him that she wants to study the weather technology and the weather about the New World.

Nami opens a book that had a picture of an island that rains thunder, and thats made her more aware of the dangers they're gonna face in the New World so she insisted on learning more about the weather.

and in the previous episodes one of the pirate crew that we saw in Saboandy had arrived to this island that had thunder rain in it, so it is obvious that they might encounter this island as well when sailing to the new world.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ussop:

when Ussop saw the sign he understood and asked the Herecele'n guy to teach him how to be stronger and survive this island.

i expect Ussop to be less fearful and more determine. but i hope his personality doesn't change though.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sanji:

so Sanji read the news, he understood the message, he was invited to have eat at Iva-san castle, when Sanji tasted their food it was amazing and he felt he was full of energy, so he asked for the recipe and the secret behind it, Ivan-san said that he will have to fight them. Sanji had a flash back, he lit a cigarette and began to fight them, he said that he will have to be more stronger and cook the best food for his nakama. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chopper:

chopper left the island heading to Saboandy but when he read the news he went back and decided to stay in the island to study their medicine, the bunch of people showed him their library which had all kind of medicine and treatments and things that he was so eager to learn.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Robin:

robin agrees to the revolutionaries offer to see dragon, which is very interesting. so am hoping things will change, i cant pinpoint from what aspect, but i think we might see Sabo?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Franky:

when Franky wanted to leave the Karakuri Island but there was no ship, for ships come only once a month. he went back to Vegapunk's laboratory, the old man told him that there is a button that will self destruct the whole laboratory so he should be careful, when Franky went there he pressed the button and the it exploded, thankfully Franky is still alive. so he ends up in some of Vegaounk rooms that is full of blue prints, so Franky decides to study them and yeah.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brook:

when the Longarm gang comes to the village to steal food and goods, brook plays the song so all the villagers get the confidence to fight them and defeat the Longarm gang, so the Longarm gang take brook and put him in a cage and shows him to the people to get money and here is where he reads the news and understand the message.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#Back in Saboandy Duaval (the one who looked like sanjo in the wanted poster) is protecting Sunny, but Kuma came to attack Shiki and Caime??

#Law did not sail to the New World, (BEST DECISION EVA) he said to let all the pirates fight among each other and then he will decided to sail.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

at that same time:

- Coby Haki's has awakened

- Garp and Seguko resigned

- Captain smoker was assigned to a job in the New World

-Moria has disappeared and Douflamingo is being all crazy and rebellious?

- Buggy receives a letter from the Navy HQ, --he is gonna be a shichibukai, i know--

he also mentioned something about that Silver Rayliegh is Luffy's uncle? does that mean that Dragon and Rayliegh are brothers??

- Crocodile and Mr.1 are heading to the New World

-BlackBeard has captured Jewelry Bonney crew and they contacted the marine that they would give them Jewelry Bonney in exchange for a ship. but Akaino, came and so the Blackbeard crew escaped leaving Bonney. i hope nothing happened to her though T^T

-Eustas kid is fine. 

(am not gonna mention any pirates)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luffy:

Rayliegh took Luffy to an island near Amazon Lily and he is training how to use Haki.

and Rayliegh teaches him the different kinds of Haki

Color of Arms : fight against devil fruit users

Rayliegh tells Luffy that normal people who practice oaki are really good at one type

but Luffy has to master all three of he wants to be a pirate king.

Next Ep is TimeSkip (517)

Post-War Arc: EP 490-504

Post-war arc EP: 490-504

Description:

we all know that Traflgar Law took Luffy and Jinbie and aided them. so they are now on his ship. so they go to the surface to see that a marine warship was following them but it turns out to be Boa Hancock and Ivankov and the gang, they went to check on Luffy, Law indicates that luffy's condition is stabilized but he is still very injured. later on Boa Hancock says that she will take Luffy to Amazon Lily (to her island) and keep him there in secret away from the marine so they can recover.

of cousrse the islands that were under white beards protection (and his home island) has been attacked. while the navy thought that the pirates will clam down after White Beard's death but it was completely the opposite.


when arriving there, the old woman refuses to let the other men into the island so she suggested that they take their ship and go to the gulf of the island.

so luffy wakes up, and he is destroying everything unconsciously, and all what on his mind is to know where is ace? later on he comes back to his senses and Jinbie was there with him, so he asks, "Ace's death is a dream right?" (not its not T^T XC) he keeps hitting his head trying to forget whats happening.

----Luffy's Past Starts Here----

So its all starts when Garp takes Luffy to the Dadan Family up in the forest, and its where he meets Ace (10 years old). Luffy keep chasing ace and after three months of chasing Ace, Luffy discovers the Grey Terminal which is a lawless zone and basically a junk yard. Next, its where Luffy sees Ace and his friend Sabo, and they both have been stealing from pirates to save up for their pirate fund to sail and become pirates. Luffy sees the location of their treasure so they have to shut him up, but a bunch of pirates comes looking for Ace for he stole from them recently, they capture Luffy, while Ace and Sabo run to change the location of their treasure because they expeted that Luffy is gonna tell them about it location. but it turns out differently, Luffy was beaten up by the pirates yet he refused to say the treasures's whereabouts. when Ace and Sabo knows about that, they run to save luffy and kicked the pirates' asses. Sabo stays at Ace and Luffy's place because its dangerous to go around the Grey Terminal, so they all become stronger and close friends at that time. 

They go to the city to sell their goods and some man stops Sabo but they run away, and then Ace and Luffy asks Sabo about more information, and it turns out that Sabo is the son of a noble family but he ran away because his parents were mean and all what they care about was the money and status. so Garp pays a visit, and the three of them later build a tree house more like a hideout.

Luffy makes a challenge that who ever kills the great tiger gets to be the captain but they meet an old guy who was a captain of his own pirate crew and he actually took on Gol D. Roger. when Ace heard that he goes away, and Sabo explains that Ace's father is Gol D. Roger. Luffy gets all excited and all and Ace gets all mad.

Luffy was missing for a week, but it turns out he was training with that old man. later on Ace asks the old man if he hates Gol D. Roger, but his reply was surprising to Ace, for he had said that he was grateful for meeting and challenging him and that Roger spared his life. and he asks what he would think if Roger had a son, he replays that the kid's life would be difficult and hard and the fact he is roger son will haunt him and stuff, so Ace challenges him in a fight and he looses so the old man shows him that he is building a ship and asks them for their help so he can find his crew. they agree.

The old man says that there is a much more important thing than strength to become a captain, but he forgets, later on at night Ace goes to the old man and asks him about it, but he says that he does not know and he is still looking for that answer however its about the crew's approval in other meaning the crew's willingness to call you their captain.

They finished his ship, but before he leaves they have to fight the king tiger, when the fight start, Ace begin the attack and everyone fights on their own but at the end they all fight together and win following ace's idea. After that Sabo and Luffy says that Ace should be the captain but Ace's refuse and says that we all did it together, and the old man leaves.

The (ASL)'s hideout gets destroyed by a storm so they have to get some materials to build it, they go to the Grey Terminal. the Bluejame pirates captures Sabo, Ace and Luffy appears to help him but they get captured and Sabo's father appears, and he is mad at Luffy and Ace for tempting Sabo to run away but Sabo said that he ran on his own and stuff. Sabo's father orders the pirates to take those children away but Sabo make a deal with his father that he is gonna listen to him if he let Ace and Luffy go away.

So the pirates take Luffy and Ace to their place and tells them to work for them, Luffy refuses but ace agrees, they give offer them a job to deliver some boxes.

Back to Sabo, he is at the police office and his father is telling to say that Luffy and Ace are the ones who made him a delinquent obviously he refuses and his father threatens him but Sabo still denies it. so his father bribe the officer to forget all of that. later on Sabo finds out he has an adopted brother, and the town is all acting weird, since a celestial dragon is coming to town, and they are gonna burn down the Grey Terminal for the Celestial Dragon arrival and that explains the boxes that Ace and Luffy were carrying, it had explosions in them. Sabo runs off to confirm the news he just heard.

The whole town is so calm about it, and the he asks an old man and he explains that the reason why they are all acting like that its for the news doesn't reach outside and they are so much better from the people who are gonna die at the Grey Terminal.

Sabo is chased by the police but he has to tell the people at the Grey Terminal and tell them about the fire but he fails.

The fire starts and the guards close the gates. people at the Grey Terminal will die with the trash, even Bluejame the one who actually made a deal with the King that he will burn down the Grey Terminal in exchange for noble status. so he chase down Ace and Luffy to take their treasure.

while Sabo is trying to run off but he is helped by Monkey D. Dragon, and he says that he is ashamed he is born in this corrupted country and his words inspires him.

Bluejame was about to kill Luffy but Ace uses Haki, then Dadan comes along to order her gang to take Luffy, Ace refuses to leave so he and Dadan fights Bluejame.

People at the Grey Terminal are saved by Monkey D. Dragon, Kuma and Ivan.

Next day the whole people are gathered at the dock to greet the Celestrial Dragon. Sabo thinks its the perfect time to run because everyone is busy. so he sails off but the effin Celestial Dragon blow off his ship because he had a pirate flag and he is a mere commoner dares to sail near his ship (fu)

back at Dadan Place, Luffy was so sad that Ace hasn't come back, but then he appears with Dadan, later on they heard about Sabo death and get a letter that Sabo wrote before sailing, that explains why he sailed off early and he hopes he would see them out in the sea someday :(

Tears were shed, Ace and Luffy promise that they will their lives without regrets and Ace promise that he will never die.

Together they train harder and become stronger. Ace sets sail when he is 17 (Luffy was 14)

Three years later Luffy sets sail as well. and the first thing he do is defeating the sea monster that took shanks's arm.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Opinion:

1. best flashback. i would lie if i did not cry :(

2. i think this flash back appeared after the marine ford arc which is the best timing, because if it appeared in the middle of the marine ford arc it would be just distracting.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Characters:

Ace: he was strong and determine when he was young, he resembled his father in many ways, judging
 from this flashback. he could have been the pirate king, i swear. another thing about Ace is that he was tough and hard to deal with but Luffy wanted to be his friend anyway, so after the pirate incident he asked Luffy why does he want to be his friend so badly? Luffy says that he does not want to be lonely. and this made Luffy not just a friend who would tag along with them, but actually he became their brother.

Sabo: he is the wisest. he knew how to act when situations were hard. he did not see Luffy as a drag but he admired him and believed he would be stronger. Sabo is an amazing character and he did not die i tell you, HE DID NOT DIE. however if he did not die, why didn't he show up to save Ace?

Luffy: he was determine in being friends with Ace and Sabo, he was faithful and he is pretty much the Luffy we know. we can see how he started his fighting techniques in the flash back. luffy arrived to the Dadan Family after the incident with Shanks and all, so he chased Ace, and did not get all mad because it was not worth it at all, also

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Predictions:

1. i believe that Sabo did not die, and Monkey D. Dragon used his powers to save him and took him back to his ship. because in the episode (504 i think) Ivan asked for a doctor and the one who would be injured must be him. or Dragon? we dont know. but if we assume that Sabo is alive, then why didn't he showed up to save Ace? where was he? In what situation he was in that he could break that brotherly bond and not save his brother?

Well, only time would tell.

2. i do not know how will Luffy recover from this shock but i bet it will be so so so difficult and overwhelming, i mean Ace was always there for him and he promised he would not die.

- in Marine Ford arc Luffy used Haki to stop the navy from executing Ace. (EP478) (le cries).

- in the Post War arc in the flash back Ace used Haki to save Luffy from Bluejame.

this is so :(

3. i still cannot figure out how will the timeskip occur or how will the crew will meet up.

                                                    > NEXT EP 505-516 <

Part 2: Marine Ford Arc is killing me slowly

Hello,

How are you guys doing? Fine? That’s great

Me?

Am NOT!

Last Tuesday I couldn’t stand al marine ford arc spoilers that were on twitter so I had to finish the arc for once and for all. i cried my heart out and i was in a state that i couldnt talk to anyone, i went to uni with all buffy eyes >.<

It was 12 midnights and then it all begun.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately Ace and Whitebeard died through this war:

Ace died smiling, he finally found the answer, it was good that he was born. He had Luffy, Whitebeard, his comrades and some guy called Saboo? That made him feel the worthy of living and he lived all his life without regret and finally he said he wished he saw Luffy achieving his dream. All that happened when Luffy held Ace with disbelief.

Whitebeard died standing, after he punched Akaino (but that shitface lived) and kicked the hell outta BlackBeard and destroyed all the Navy HQ and it was worth it. his final order was to let all his sons escape and live happily. We have seen flashback of whitebeard when he said that all what he wanted was family T^T.  But before all that happen, when Ace hasn’t died yet and was just free, he asked Ace is he was a good father? Ace said “Of course” *^*. He died standing and his back had no sign of any injury that showed that he never ever and not even for once let his back on any of his sons, he was determine to face this war, and he was astonishingly amazing, it left me speechless.

The War was still going until Coby snapped and talked to Akaino and most of the marines! And shanks, SHANKS stepped in to stop this idiotic was the only led to more losses! And he said that he will take Ace and WhiteBeard and give them an honorable burial!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why didn’t Shanks come earlier?

Well, I though that he didn’t want to interfere in whitebeard’s fight. Maybe it some kind of pirate code thing or if he had interfered that will make the WB looked down at?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Predictions:

·     __ Luffy will have hard time recovering from ace’s death.

·      __As the episode said there will be a new era and all the pirates we met on saboady we will soon encounter them in the new world.

·    __  The crew will know about the war and hurry back to saboady?

___As I mentioned in my previous post: Luffy's Bounty will go up.

Marine Ford ARC is killing me slowly

hello everyone,

am watching one piece (started May 2013)

Reasons:

1. I think the plot of the story is amazing, adventurous.

2. At that time i just finished Gintama and i felt i can start a new long term anime.

3. Many people told me to watch one piece on twitter and i was motivated.

4. It is so popular and i dont know a thing about it. (i didnt know spoilers back then)

5. i had time to watch it since the summer 2013 gave me a lot of time to watch it.


------------------

so i have reached the Marine Ford ARC.

*SPOILER ALERT*

i know Ace is gonna die, but i feel that if i said that "he will survive" it wont happen.

i just recently discovered that White Beard is gonna die although am not sure YET.

here is my hypothesis:

if White Beard gonna die and Ace too, because if they since luffy will have to confront them in the New World sooner or later.

the author wanted to give a huge arc before time skip?

but if WB died, who will he (luffy) confront that has equal power as WB? Shanks? i dont know.

maybe its not a pirate that he will confront in the New World, maybe its the whole Navy aka Marine.

i cant accept the fact that WB is going to die.

i feel as if ace died and WB didn't, it will be okay. but both of them will make me confused and i cannot predict that will happen. i will have hard time or knowing what is gonna happen as long as i dont see any spoilers.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luffy:

well after this tremendous arc luffy's bounty will go up!

i think that when Ace is gonna die, someone will be killed, meaning that luffy is gonna take revenge like a BOSS.

i dont know how or when is all of this is going to happen so we all just have to hold on to tissue and white chocolate and continue watching.

The Crew

well, we all know that Bartholmew Kuma sent them away to places back in the Sabaody Arc.

he sent them to specific places to be stronger so they can be more stronger and be able to go to the New World.
