One Piece 561

So, marines pull out their secret weapon. Wonder who's gonna fight that shit... maybe Dragon arrives?

LOLOLOL Gomu Gomu NO~~~SCAPEGOAT

Yeah, that was awesome. And then... "Buggy, I won't forget you!!!"

I was like WTF!!! Damn Hawkeyes is strong. Did he use Haki on Luffy when Luffy says he almost got his arm cut off?

Nah, He was charging, and he saw what was gonna happen when he did, or something, and barely managed to avoid it. I don't think Hawkeyes has Haki, not sure though.

As for the Pacifista: I say Dragon, or maybe Shanks. It's just getting more and more awesome.

But whose the new swordsmen that Hawkeyes is fighting? I've never seen anyone actually block Hawkeye's sword before (Except Shanks, and he's a Pirate Emperor!)

This chapter proved what I have been saying all this time: the Whitebeard pirates are the weaker force in this war. The Pacafista is insanely strong and can be mass produced. And remember, a single Pacafista was enough to give the entire Strawhat crew trouble. This war is settled unless either Dragon or another Emperor show.

For what its worth, I don't think any of the two will show. First, this is due to my belief the Whitebeard will die in this story arc and the appearance of either Dragon or Shanks greatly reduces that possibility. Second, I think it is still far too early for Luffy to meet either Dragon or Shanks and such an epic moment is best reserved for another story arc. And third, only in such dire circumstances will Garp be forced to aid in the saving of Ace.

I could be wrong but if I am, its because Oda thought of a much better story development. Long live Oda!
