GET READY BECAUSE WHENEVER THESE 5 TALK ABOUT ANYTHING THINGS GO HOLY SHIT BANANAS!

Ohhhh, shell shock...

"GET THE SHIT TOGETHER FOOLS!"

Apparently... Whatever Luffy did involved him mourning...

If there was any character in this series I'd have voiced by Charlie Murphy...

Wait I can't immediately tell is he pissed because his ship levitating isn't what he wants it to be or that it's levitating to begin with.

HeeheehaHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!

It takes a second to wreck it
It takes time to build
You gots to chill

Chapter 594: Message

The Five Elder Stars are having a meeting.
Redline, the holy city of Mariejoa, The Room of the Five Elder Stars

ES1: Well, this Strawhat Luffy is never short of news is he?
Though oddly understandable, considering he's the grandson of Grap.
ES2: How is he connected with Rayleigh...? I can't believe he is coming back out to the stage of history after all these years.
ES3: And Jinbei is completely turned against us now. We were hoping for him to become the symbol of peace between the races... it's too bad.
ES4: The balace of the three powers is in shambles. How should we fill in the three vacant seats for the Seven Warlords?
ES5: We should wait till the forces in the New World make their moves. Surely the faction territories amongst the pirates will change.
We must choose someone more influential...

ES1:In the New World, Blackbeard is already on his move.
I heard one of those 100million+ rookie was taken out by him already.
ES2: No surprise, he knows Whitebeard's territory very well.
ES3: Amongst the pirates going after Whitebeard's vacant seat, I'd say Blackbeard is leading one stop ahead.
There's never been a person who ate two devil friuts reported in history.
ES4: The only one capable of stoping him would be.... one of the Four Emperors. (rest cut off)
ES5: The "D"s always causes trouble...! Just like Portgas.... (rest cut off)

Meanwhile, in Marine HQ....

Brandnew is reporting Strawhat Luffy's infiltration of Marineford.
Luffy, along with Rayleigh and Jinbei, suddenly appeared at Marineford, and took over a marine ship.
They sailed and circled around Marineford once, in a tradition of "water funeral".
Then Luffy boldly infiltrated the plaza alone, and went to the Ox bell and rang it 16 times.
Then he tossed a bouquet into the ruin of the plaza, and bowed his head in prayer.

At Kong's office, Sengoku is meeting with the World Government Commander-in-Chief Kong.
Apparently Sengoku is resigning from his position.
It seems Garp has alrady visited Kong to do the same.
Kong convinced both of them to stay with the marines to train the younglings.
He is saddened to see two marines who led the force at the frontlines since Roger's age stepping down.
Sengoku agrees to stay in the marines keeping the title, but recommends Aokiji as the next Fleet Admiral.

Meanwhile, at the medic room, Coby and Helmeppo are recovering.
The doctor tells Coby the symptoms he is suffering is a form of haki.
He explains that Vice Admiral class marines all can use haki.
Coby feels uncomfortable about the "strong presence of others" he is feeling.
The doc tells him to go learn more about haki from Garp, so that he can control it.
Helmeppo seems jealous that Coby is a step ahead of him, and wants to catch up.

At Aokiji's office, Smoker is chatting with Aokiji.
Aokiji wonders what Luffy's "Sixteen Bell" message means.
Smoker doesn't care, and asks him what happened to his request to be transferred.
Aokiji tells Smoker he must be nuts wanting to go to G5. It's infamous for problems.
Marine GS 5th division... otherwise known as the New World outpost.

Meanwhile the New World is in turmoil....
Several Supernovas have arrived at various islands.
Hawkins: I'm sorry, can you repeat that? I couldn't hear you well.
Brownbeard: I said, I am BROWNBEARD! The almighty Brownbeard, with bounty of 80 million!!!
Remember my name!! This is MY territory!!
Hawkins: Oh, I see. Your name is so stupid, I thought I heard you wrong.
Let me tell you two things.... first, I hate jokes.
Brownbeard: Joke!?
Hawkins: And second.... I see death in your future.

Enraged by this, Brownbeard pulls out a knife to attack Hawkins... bad move.

Capone is eating a meal in his ship, when... a massive black ball in the sky gravitates his ship to it.
With some screams, the ship is engulfed into the Gantz... I mean black ball. (and according to the summary, crushed)

Luffy is on the Amazon Lily ship, being tendered by the amazons.
He apologizes to them for making them sail so long.
He asks them what they are doing (pinching him and stretching him)
They are watching over Luffy so he stays put to heal his wounds, by the order from Hancock.
Hancock is resting after being so excited over Luffy.
Luffy wonders if his crew got his message.

Meanwhile, around the world, the Strawhats are reading the papers.
Chopper: I get it Luffy!! I understand your message!!
Franky is seen with half his face blown off, and other parts of his body damaged.
Zoro is the only one who seems to be confused (according to the summary) reading the news.

back to the supernovas...

Kid is seen crucifying a pirate who dared to fight them.
The pirates say they where just about to leave the New World, and plead mercy to let them go so they can return to "paradise".
He says he is disappointed that this is what New World has to offer... cowardly, weak pirates.
Kid is reading the newspaper, and sees Luffy infiltrating the Marineford again.

The meaning of the bell is explained by Killer.
Normally, you ring 8 times at the end of the year.
Then 8 times again at the start of the year.
Ringing the bell total of 16 times is a traditon of the marines.
In other words... the bell is a symbol of ending and starting of an era.

Kid wonders if that's Luffy's message to the world that the era belongs to him now.
His crew tells him it has to be a reason like that, if he was willing to go back and face his trauma of losing his brother.

Urouge and his crew find themselves stumped in front of an island they cannot enter.
The island is under constant bombardment of lightning strikes.
An old woman appears, and offers umbrellas.

Those in the New World refer to the first half of Grandline as... paradise.

Sengoku and Garp resigned from their position, but Kong asked them to keep their title at least, and stay in the marine.
Sengoku agrees, and Kong says he wants to recommend Aokiji as the next Fleet Admiral.

ohana also says it's an old man approaching Urouge, asking if he wants an umbrella.

The first half of Grandline is referred to as "Paradise" by those in the New World.

Also, Brownbeard pulled out a knife when Hawkins says his fortune
He was most likely taken out by Hawkins.

ohana also says there's no preview message for next week. (hmm...)

So that's all I got.

OH JESUS FRANKY

Sengoku's boss, Commander-in-Chief Kong.

>>9907
Don't worry, he's rebuilt himself before, long as he's alive he can do it again.

>>9909
WITH UPGRADES

Man am I glad Wednesday is comic book day. If it wasn't the wait for OP's release would be unbearable.

>>9905

Man, Kong knows what's what: He's recommending the least evil admiral for promotion...Though know Oda Akainu is probably going to get the job somehow

Well shit that's interesting

So Blackbeard's just floating around the New World inside a giant singularity, sucking up random ships and crushing them to bits? Daaamn.

>>9914
do we know for sure that its blackbeard? I hope this isn't the end of capone, I wanted to see him do more.

I feel like a complete fangirl worrying for apoo.

but god, APAPAPAPA!!!

Eustass if fucking brutal.

Also, I thought maybe shiki was involved with levitating capone but thats just wishful thinking.

>>9908
So, if Kong is Sengoku's boss, and Sengoku is head of the Marines, than I'd imagine Kong is the head of ALL WG armed forces; the Cipher Pols, Shichibukai, the black-suited agents on Enies Lobby, etc.

>>9918
maybe. So are Sengoku and Garp still on the force or what? Why would Garp leave now after years of putting up with the marines shit? Just because Ace died? He let it happen.

>>9918

Kong was the previous Fleet Admiral prior to Sengoku.

>>9920
Garp is in some sort of second midlife crisis right now. It's family or duty.

CAPONEEEEE NOOOOOOO YOU WERE MY FUCKING FAVORITE GODDAMNIT

If Blackbeard is attacking Capone, it might be for his devil fruit power, so that his crew can ride around inside him without constantly being injured. That would give him the ability to hide his ISLAND SIZED GIANT anyway.

Doubt that's what will happen though, since Oda isn't about to give Teach three broken abilities.

>>9927
For all we know, it's not an inherent Blackbeard ability, it could be a device that allows him to transplant devil fruit abilities or some such.

>>9900
Enel can't get off the moon, right? I really hope that's a freak electrical storm and not him...

>>9929
Uroge's reaction seems to imply it is indeed Enel... Why? Because if I remember correctly Enel and Uroge are from the same Sky Island which Enel already blew up before coming to Skypeia

>>9932

OH CRAP.

>>9932
Yeaaah, I was afraid of that. Especially because Urouge does appear to be Blikan and his crew are the Fallen Monk Pirates. How do we know some major shit didn't go down between him and Enel in the past? I fear for Urouge's safety if that really is the big guy.

And so a new Era is about to start...

>>9932

The ONLY reason I ever gave a flying fuck about Urouge is to see if there's any actual relationship beyond being from the same island before each leaving it.

Urouge isn't smiling anymore. Fuck this shit

>>9947
ffff-

Just realized it's the first time that happens
