Whoa! Talk about a battle on a grand scale! 😲

Oda-san really took a lot of effort on this chapter, and considering the delay, I think this was worth the wait.

Everything was just fantastic, from the way this chapter unfold to the tension it has, especially how it ended.

I wonder how Luffy and every pirate is going to handle a lot of those Pacifistas, since it took a lot of teamwork to take down one (it's time like this I wish Oz Jr. wasn't seriously injured).

Anyway, can't wait to see what happens next. 😀

See ya!

DUDE....does any one else think dragon is gonna join the fight?

CUZ IF HE DOES!!!OMGEEEEE.....

Haha, yeah thats how I saw it too. Good one, eagerly awaiting next week!

It is nice to see his progess in terms of world strength though.. I mean Luffy(who at the time was about as strong as Zoro) has gone from Mihawk using a small letter opener type knife to actually using his real sword and trying(maybe not his utmost hardest though) to cut him down. That is some good progress. And it's only taken him like 500 chapters to get there..

The Rear Admirals haven't even started fighting for the most part.. And now you have atleast 9 Kuma's joining..

I think that the most amazing part of this chapter was that there were only 2 double pages...

Was Luffy using Haki when he predicted that his arms would get cut off if he attacked Hawkeyes? Or was that just him utilizing his battle experience? Anyhow, Hawkeyes truly deserves that title of the world's #1 swordsman if he cut a frozen tidal wave without any apparent effort. I'm looking forward to seeing if Whitebeard or Luffy have up their sleeves to get out of this new bind or if they'll simply use brute force to win (it's worked so far, after all).

i loved the part where Luffy dragged Buggy into his fight. and for once Buggy was actually useful.

the Kuma army was unexpected..! they could prolly wipe out almost everyone on the battlefield, be it pirates or marines, and only the strongest will be left standing... and hopefully the Strawhat pirates will be united and maybe Dragon & his revolutionary army will come??

oh and has anyone noticed that guy on the last page w/ the SHARINGAN symbol on his shirt? 😲
i just had to point that out 😛

I think its Hawkeyes swordsman aura is what Luffy saw. And, for Luffy was able to read it, is quite a feat. Even Mihawk acknowledged it when he said Luffy is actually quite "calm". I guess you can say he has grown in battle experience as well... He has met so many strong people he is able to gauge the strength of an opponent and read their attacks better. But remember, Mihawk is rumored to fight on equal terms against Shanks, so its safe to say that his aura is similar to Shanks.

Also, the funny thing about Luffy, he always knows who he should fight. I think even Zoro mentioned this once in Enies lobby when Luffy was fighting against the leopard guy, Rob Lucci. He knows Mihawk is not his opponent, because he saw him own Zoro (too powerful as of now), also because he is a swordsman (not really compatible with a brawler like Luffy who has rubber DF abilities) and to top it off, he needs to save Ace!

I completely agree with you on the fact that Mihawk is the most powerful swordsman! He is my favorite anti-hero (wont really call him a bad guy) and one of my favorite characters in OP.

Also, notice that even the fifth division of WB can fight on equal terms with a Shichibukai like Mihawk. That truly says something about the WB crew!

Overall, nice chapter. Especially when reading it after a week of exams! 🙂

we haven't really seen whitebeard make a move. maybe the some of the straw-hat crew or dragon and the revolutionary army or maybe the fish-men will turn up to give luffy a hand. .

it looked like whitebeard new something was going to happen that's why he barely made a move himself and we haven't seen blackbeard's move yet. 😀
