#chapter 561

Thoughts:

- “I don’t have time to fight someone that strong! I’m here to save Ace!”

- Mihawk’s face is priceless in this (it’s his normal face but more). He’s just so unbothered

- sword swinging!

- “Ugh! He cut me!” wait, how, Luffy wasn’t even CLOSE

- fight is happening but it’s mostly silent

- what was that

- “That was close! He woulda cut off my hands if I’d attacked!” “You’re much calmer than I expected.” Yikes

- A ******* MOUNTAIN

- HE CUT A ******* MOUNTAIN

- (the ice one. There’s no real mountains nearly)

- back to Doflamingo and Crocodile

- “You and I team up? Don’t pretend we’re equals. Maybe you want to be my henchman, eh?” Doflamingo is still sitting on Jozu, it’s funny

- “Heh heh heh! I thought prison might’ve humbled you a little.” “If it had, I’d never have come here.” They’re smiling at each other :) That’s so unexpected here that I want to say ‘aww’

- (I know they’re a semi-popular ship. I see and feel the chemistry there but they would be such a MESS together. Like these couples who break up and make up twice a week. Disaster)  

- “Get lost!” hah, it didn’t last

- Buggy is flying in Crocodile’s tornado

- Luffy is still with Mihawk

- whoops, Buggy fell right into Mihawk’s attack. Good thing it can’t hurt him

- no, wait! Luffy used him as a human shield! Luffy, how bastardly of you :D

- lol

- alright, Luffy is running away and Mihawk got stopped by Vista (the Flower Blade of 5th Division of Whitebeard Pirates)! We’re good!

- Mihawk is thinking thoughts

- “It’s not his powers or techniques. He possesses some quality that makes people want to help him. And in these waters… that is the most formidable power of all!” you hit the head of the nail, Mihawk, that’s exactly how Luffy survived that long. And that’s how he’ll become a Pirate King

- a lot of narration’s coming up

- “As the scheduled time of execution draws near, many truths are revealed one after another.” Wait, how long are they fighting? Was it three hours already?

- “Due to the escape of over 200 prisoners from the impregnable Impel Down vicious pirates continue to flown into the battle zone.”

- “The spectators can hardly believe their eyes. This battle could truly determine the fate of the world! The viewers around the globe can only watch helplessly and wait for the outcome that will decide the future of all.” …right, that’s still going live. Jesus, just watching and waiting for world-changing news… and it’s a battle at that… you don’t want to watch but you just can’t stop…

- AAAAA Marines are ready!!!!  They want to kill Ace right this second!!!! AAAAA

- LUFFY HURRY

- “They’re starting the execution! But there’s still a lot of time left!” why is everyone surprised, there’s a battle going on. WG isn’t so methodical that they have to do everything right on the clock

- “Cut the broadcast on all video transporter snails! We mustn’t lose the world’s trust.” Sengoku? What are you planning?

- “The shock of what about to happen might shatter the trust people have in us. There’s no need to broadcast this tragedy to the rest of the world.” What the… if it’s that bad, then just DON’T DO IT GODDAMMIT GOVERNMENTS ARE SO STUPID GOD

- (even Aokiji and Akainu are like “hmm… this is a bad idea I’m doing”)

- “In a few hours… the inhabitants of the world need only know… that we were victorious. That is all.” Sengoku, WHAT ARE YOU DOING

- ??? Navy got reinforcements from behind the ice?

- What

- MULTIPLE KUMAS!!!

- “So those are the Government’s human weapons.”

- I feel sorry for Ivankov :(

- “We waited long enough! Our time has come!”

“The tide of battle shifts quickly as the final stage draws near!”
