I kinda wish they were still brothers, hell they even look alike. Dragon is totally better than Roger anyway.

Wait.... I thought luffy was Rogers son! That old military guys grandson...
>< I'm soo confused. Probably because I'm reading too many series.
I'm probably going to have to reread the whole series now, just to know what you guys are talking about.

Maybe I missed an arc somewhere...

I don't know anyone who can say they saw Ace being Roger's son.
Good to see Oda revealing some answers.
I wonder how the Marines will react if they find out Luffy is Dragons' son.

Are they just broadcasting the execution on that one island?

Wow, this is the first time in a while that the One piece chapter discussion thread got 3 pages, let alone in one day.

But man this is a huge shock. It does seem that Luffy and Ace are cousins now, but the thing that's just as shocking to me is that Rouge held Ace in her womb for 20 FUCKING MONTHS.

I mean, I know people are freakishly strong in the One Piece universe, but damn...

________________

Wow! Ok... Even though it might seem like 'nothing really happened' in this chapter...It was still epic!! Holy crap. Ace just had a whole new dimension added onto his character and...Luffy!! How the hell are you going to get to him?!

________________

If that wasn't mentioned, I would have been shocked at the news on the last page, but that other thing completely blew me away, and when I got to the end I was like, "So. That's not so impressive." I mean, shit. 20 months.?!

Sarcasm just doesn't work over the internet.

I don't see Luffy and Ace biologically related anymore, just Garp and Dragon going along with Roger's wishes. But given this new information, just who is going to show up now to take on the marines? It might be a possibility that Roger's crew (i.e. Shanks, Rayleigh and maybe even others) will show up, though it's probably be too late for them to save Ace. And would Dragon even show up now, since Ace isn't his son? This is sure one hell of a twist that Oda pulled on us.

Even though he isn't his biological father Ace was raised as a brother to Luffy so Dragon will come to help him out.
I'm starting to think that Ace's mom might have some relation to Garp and that is why she went to him for help even though hes a marine.

I somewhat saw it coming LOL.

The whole time I thought Ace looked just like Roger did and that they might be related, then BAM on the last page LOL.

Wow!

Think about if for a second Ace took the maiden name of his mother maybe Roger did the same and that whatever Garps wife was her name could have been "Gol D.".
