#chapter 576

Thoughts:

- aww, Old Trio made a birdhouse

- Blackbeard took all prisoners from Impel Down Level 6 with him. Not so forgotten to the world anymore, huh, WG?

- “Those are the worst criminals in the world!” you know, now I’m actually confused why they’re even alive. It’s not like WG would have a problem with executing them. They’re already established as cruel and not caring about pirates’ lives, and Impel Down must cost a lot of money - Level 6 alone is a lot, just look at that giant, how much does he eat, as much as Luffy I bet. They don’t even get free labor out of it, they already have slaves, besides prisoners didn’t seem to do anything except suffering there. I don’t get it

- big name, big name, big na… oh, look, finally, an ugly woman! They’re all ugly to be honest. But hey, piracy isn’t a cat walk

- (so who’s the biggest giant around? First it was Oars, then Oars Jr., now it’s that Juan guy)

- oh right, what happened in Impel Down?

- WAIT, ARE BON CLAY OK

- Sengoku wants to know how Blackbeard got here undetected. It was hypnosis, lots of hypnosis

- “If the government had seen me as a pirate, I couldn’t have opened the Gates of Justice or infiltrated Impel Down! That’s why I needed to become one of the Seven Warlords! But now that it’s done, I don’t need that title anymore!” wow, Blackbeard used WG politics to his own gain perfectly. Respect where respect is due

- You got played, Sengoku, played HARD

- “Releasing them was your plan all along?” “Zehahahaha! That’s right! It was all about it from the beginning! And that is everything! You’ll know what I mean soon enough!” damn, what plan do you have, Blackbeard

- Whitebeard had ENOUGH

- right, Blackbeard was one of Whitebeard’s people. It’s even worse now that I know Whitebeard treats his crewmates as sons. Betrayals are the worst

- “You’re the only one I won’t call son, Teach!” …yeah

- and Blackbeard continues to say important things. Looks like we’ll get a duel on our hands

- “Thatch died, but so did Ace, Pops!” Thatch’s the guy Blackbeard killed when he ran away. And DON’T call him Pops, your rights to do that got revoked

- “I respected and looked up to you more than anybody! But you got old! You couldn’t even save one of your men from execution! I spared his life on Banaro Island but that was a waste!” !!! Ace WAS saved from execution! He WAS saved!! He just acted stupid right afterwards and protected his brother!!!!!! It’s completely different!!! And, and, do you just like to hurt people or what

- “Your powers have no effect on me anymore!” *Whitebeard stabs him* YEAHHHHH  

- “That hurt, blast you!” lol

- no mercy for you bro

- Blackbeard’s crew jumps in to kill Whitebeard! Wasn’t it supposed to be a duel

- no, he’ll really die this time

- yep, flashbacks started

- oh hey, it’s King Roger

- “Want me to tell you how to get to Raftel, Whitebeard?” “I won’t go even if you tell me. Not interested in that” huh. I’m not surprised, but then where did Ace get the notion Whitebeard wanted to be a Pirate King?

- “What is that “D.” thing anyway?” “You wanna know? Then I’ll tell you” !!!!!!!!!!!!! WE COULD HAVE KNOW!! Somehow (I’m salty)

- “You’re not him…” hm?

- “The man Roger is waiting for… is definitely not you, Teach.” OH BURN

- “Just as there are some who inherited Roger’s will… someone will eventually do the same for Ace. You can sever bloodlines, but their flames will never be extinguished.” Yeah!!!

- “It has been passed down like than since ancient times! Someday one will arise who will challenge the world… and shoulder centuries of history.” …Is Whitebeard recalling the prophecy? Are prophecies a thing in One Piece? Anyway, this is IMPORTANT, I hope Sabaody and world hears that

- “Sengoku, you and the World Government… fear the Great War that will come to this world one day!” ?

- “I’m not interested in the treasure, but when it’s found… the whole world will be turned upside down!” oh, he’s talking about One Piece

- “Someone will find it. That day will come”

- “The One Piece… DOES EXIST!” Sabaody hears!! It’s live!!

- oh no. Here come the tears

- “Forgive me, my sons. I couldn’t finish off that fool. This is it for me. You’ve given me everything.” damn it

- “What kind of pirate isn’t interested in treasure? Then what do you want?” “There is something I wanted ever since I was a boy.”

- “A family” *through tears* told you

- “I owe you everything, my sons. Farewell.” Farewell, Whitebeard. You were great

- “Huh? H-he’s dead… but he’s still standing!” huh?

- “Whitebeard is dead! Even in death, even with half his face gone, he would never fall. He will forever be remembered as a monster for the way he destroyed his enemies that day.”

- “In this one battle alone he suffered 267 sword wounds… was struck by 152 bullets…and 46 cannon blasts. And yet…”

- “..neither that mighty body… nor his pirate’s pride…”

“…suffered even one “coward’s wound”!”
