From Volume 56 - Chapter 543 / Season 7 Episode 446. Vice Warden Hannyabal was going to risk his life to stop Luffy, but was suddenly stopped by Warlord of the Sea, Marshall D. Teach. Luffy's reactive personality would make him quick to pick a fight with Blackbeard, but he's in a rush to head to Marineford and save Ace, there's no time to lose!! How will he act?
From Volume 56 - Chapter 550 / Season 8 Episode 459. The unfortunate execution of Portgas D. Ace has arrived. To the world, this is a ploy to anger Whitebeard and start a war with one of the Four Emperors of the Sea. To us the audience, it seems like it'll also be a blow to the Revolutionary Army. Given Ace and Luffy are brothers, they both surely share the same father, though Ace seems to have some sort of grudge with Dragon. But Sengoku and Garp know the true meaning, and that's to end the life of the most likely candidate for future Pirate King!!!!
It's been almost a year since I started this blog, and though my following is small compared to my main blog, I'm incredibly proud of my creations and whatever love they've received. It's a fun little project where the Toei anime, original manga, English dub, Shueisha manga colorization, and Viz translations can all be appreciated simultaneously.
Most colored volumes don't have fan releases that include official translations and redraws, so most of the panels seen here I had to redraw myself. Even though my posts [usually] only consist of one panel, I try to redraw SFX for the full page if I feel it won't consume too much of my time, so I'm posting full pages here where applicable.
From Volume 58 - Chapter 563 / Season 8 Episode 472. After being convinced by the Marines that this raid on their headquarters was a trap, that Whitebeard was trading his crew and allies' lives to get Ace back, Squard pierces his captain with a potentially fatal wound! One can only imagine the betrayal and frustration felt between, not just this captain and subordinate, but father and son. How will this Emperor of the Sea react?
From Volume 60 - Chapter 590 / Season 8 Episode 505. After the death of his brother Ace, Luffy succumbed to scars and injuries that wrought his body near the point of death. But worse than that is the mental toll it took on Luffy. Not just because it's his first major failure to accomplish something, but his biggest major loss since Sabo died. Jimbei tries to restore Luffy's composure, and asks him what he has in life that's still important to him.
From Volume 59 - Chapter 574 / Season 8 Episode 453. Against all odds, Monkey D. Luffy breaks his brother Portgas D. Ace out of a public execution! But things go south faster than anybody could've anticipated. Admiral Akainu picks a fight with Ace, and to make matters worse he takes a fatal wound to protect Luffy!! He doesn't want to believe it, but feeling his life fade away from him, he has some final words to say to his family!!
