Quote from Darrick

he finally uses haki 😀 ...even though he probably knows nothing about it

yea, i wonder how he'll manage to use it.
it wont help if he can only use it accidentally during emotional surges.

another great but short chapter. can't wait to see more of Luffy.

my prediction: whitebeard survives, and takes the straw hat symbol onto his and becomes a direct subordinate to luffy <-- my wishful thinking xD

Im thinking WB knows hes going to die but will try to hang on until his crew gets back to safety. 😕
Im liking the Hancock moments and Luffy is finally using Haki.
What happened to garp this chapter?

great chap though

That my friends is what we refer to as the recognition of power on an epic scale. keep it up oda. and kick some marine ass luffy

i wonder how much would luffy be worth after this....and also for the other "rookies"....will they be joining the fight?

It feels so long ago, but even the stuff he did in the prison would have bumped his bounty many times over. In terms of rpg, he should have leveled up multiple times by now. Especially now that the whole world knows about his crazy familial ties, he may even have maxed out the limits of the bounties and unofficially joined the big shots who don't have bounties. All in all, this feels like luffy's coming out party.

By the way, can someone explain to me exactly what "haki" is and what it's capable of?

Aside from Luffy saving Ace's neck and shocking everyone, it was a pretty depressing chapter considering the conditions of the arguably the three strongest non-marines/shichibukai characters there, with Whitebeard a human pincushion, Jose frozen and broken and probably dead if thawed, and Marco incapable of his phoenix form. While it's nice and all that Luffy's Haki finally makes an appearance, it kind of seems "too little too late" to me.

Finally, just in the nick of time too 😀 , now, buzz off WB, here come the new yonkou 😀 , no disrespect i like WB but he had his moments, the new age is coming and Luffy is pretty much an unstopable train at the moment 😛 .

Ace probably will take over once WB gone assuming he survived the fight which i strongly believed he will and the two brothers will ultimately conquer the new world 😎 .

Haha... banzai Luffy and Strawhat crew, once everyone get together again i hope that each of them has power up considerably to take on the New World 😛

You like the things that i HATE, and i HATE the things that you like
