Chapter 562. Oda. What.

[eiliem]

Well.

Fuck!

Did not see that coming.

Except... I worried for that Squard might have disappeared for suspicious reasons. But then I dismissed my paranoia and reminded myself that Whitebeard trusted Squard enough to put him in charge of the pirate allies. Except he couldn't. Because Squard went missing.

For suspicious reasons.

I any case. I never saw the sword coming.

And neither did Whitebeard.

Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck.

This is so very very not good.

Ahahaha. Understatement. @_@

Ooooookay. Um. Oda! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?!!??!

Why?!

And oh please Oda for the love of our sanity answer that next week. Or so help me I will sic Tanaka Mayumi and a basket of squashed kittens on you.

So... thoughts? On the heel face turn Whitebeard was so very obviously not expecting a;sdkfjhads;gkjah;fsgaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Squard:

made a deal with Sengoku

is mind controlled

is just generally evil and wants to take Whitebeard's head as much as most everyone at Marinford presently.

disagreed with Whitebeard's decision to storm Marinford on behalf of one man and wants to "save" the rest of the Whitebeard pirates by having everyone get the hell out of there.

is being controlled by Doflamingo
-unlikely as we've seen him otherwise occupied - at lest when Squard first disappeared

is dead and his body is being possessed by one of Moria's shadows: he's a zombie
-also less likely as Moria was busy first with Jinbei and then with... whoever he was fighting in this chapter

made a deal with another of Whitebeard's enemies: Teach, or Kaidou (okay, that last one is a huge stretch but we know he tried to attack Whitebeard on his way to Marinford so... not a friend certainly)


At the moment... my money is on "he wants to save Whitebeard's crew". If only because of the little speech he gave right before running Whitebeard through with his BFS - the whole "for the sake of the Whitebeard pirates we would gladly lay down our lives"

But he said "we". As in, more than just him. So. who else is in on this!?!?!??!?!?!!

Pirate ally mutiny would be so very not good right now!

And what debt do they all owe Whitebeard? (putting aside the question of who the hell "they" are!!!)

And and and... ASDKFJHASKDGJAH;DSKAF ODA WHAT!!?!?!

Do I share my random moment of morbidness, or don't I? ...skip if you can't handle my random morbidness: Squard's big fucking sword probably perfectly bisected Whitebeard's symbol on the back of his coat... that's kind of, um, creepy... above and beyond the whole stabbity stab thing. Okay, random morbidness over. o__o


Before the whole Marinford stuff even started I was thinking "ominous foreshadowing is ominous, Whitebeard is doomed". And then he showed up at Marinford. And was awesome. And I thought "no one that awesome can die! Nobody dies in One Piece, nobody dies in One Piece nobody dies in One Piece nobodydiesinOnePiece."

...

Until Oda proves otherwise, I'm going to believe Whitebeard won't leave Marineford alive. That way, if I'm wrong when when when, oh please ODa I can be joyously surprised. Rather than... the other way around.

:( oh Ace. And Marco. And everyone! This is going to suck so hard.

Silver lining: he's not taking a break next week? And Buggy. There was Buggy - and rescuing of the video feed AAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAA. Not quite how I pictured it but... I totally called that!

EDIT: IVNAKOV! IVANKOV CAN HEAL WHITEBEARD! ...oh I am so bad at this emotional distance thing. Whitebeard don't die Ace will be sad! And... even more broken. ow ;_;

More excellent chapter musings (and squee and freak outs) here and here and here. Is it next Thursday yet?
