#ch 56

There are a ton of fun action panels this time. And during the match, Jinbei recounts his five-day fight with Ace prior in a fairly one-to-one manor as the main manga told it.

There is one key different however, and it's a fun one.

Mango pudding. Ace decided to eat mango pudding using Jinbei's donburi bowl! It's got Jinbei's name on it and everything! Tsk Tsk. That would have been a good time for Ace to remember the manners that Makino taught him.

Joking aside, I love this. It makes sense the reason for the feud between these two is less severe, given the more lighthearted nature of Academy, and it's so perfectly in character for both. Nicely done Sohei Koji.

The chapter then concludes with Jinbei conceding defeat, due to him breaking ground outside the ring, then making a big gesture of camaraderie in the name of Whitebeard, with Luffy and Ace.
