Chapter 576

[eiliem]

"Family."

Oh Whitebeard. You. You went so far beyond family. You were Oyaji to 44 pirate crews.

And it makes this line:

"Was I a good father?"

so much more heartbreaking and meaningful.

The world's strongest man - he could have been Pirate King. He could have been anything. He didn't care about treasure. Or Raftel or One Piece.

He just wanted family.


"The men that Roger waits for are a very rare few... but not you Teach. You are not one of them."

!!!!!

Whitebeard I love you. I love you I love you I love you.

And he pwns Blackbeard! If that traitor rat bastard hadn't brought scary powerful backup (and if Whitebeard hadn't been on his last legs) Whitebeard would have killed him. Yes, with half his face missing.

THIS MAN! HOW IS HE SO AWESOME!?!?!?! ☆＿☆ ;___;


And he and Roger talked! Before he died! They were... friendly O_o

&hearts

And Roger told him everything! He would have given him the way to Raftel too. I... can you really call them enemies?


CONFIRMATION! One Piece is real!

I mean... well, yes, obviously. But still - Whitebeard confirms it to the world and Sengoku does not like this!

And something about D and One Piece is going to lead to a world war. D and One Piece are connected?


And he dies standing. It's... wrong but also so right. Unbowed, even in death.

... he has the same tattoo on his back that Ace had.

Heart. Is broken.


EDIT: Whitebeard's line: And have also come to carry the will of the late Ace slayed me. It's stupid stupid stupid I know to hope that somehow somewhere there will be a One Piece miracle to fix Ace because him dying after all this is just too cruel. And that line just... like Oda's going "Nyah nyah he's deeeaad".

Ow. ;_;

Ace and Whitebeard having the same tattoo is horribly adorable and sad and lsdfkjslkdfjsd. ;;

I'm completely broken.

I almost want to throw the towel in and go "ok, not reading any more until things get better". It's been three straight chapters of just It Got Worse and I ache.

Enough Oda. Enough. FIX IT

I can barely read the chapters anymore and between chapters I'm just staying away from the fandom and anything related to it. I can't even feel that pride, I wanted to feel, about Whitebeard's death because, as sad as it would be, he was supposed to go feeling so damned proud and happy about saving Ace.

Not dying knowing that he couldn't save him. ;________;

ODA FIX IT. MAKE ME BELIEVE THAT ACE'S DEATH WAS ONLY A WAY TO GET HIM AND ROGER FACE TO FACE FOR A LONG TALK.

I can't even feel that pride, I wanted to feel, about Whitebeard's death because, as sad as it would be, he was supposed to go feeling so damned proud and happy about saving Ace.

This. Oh so much this.

Last chapter I flipped because I was afraid that Whitebeard's death was going to be Blackbeard's victory rather than a heroic last stand. But Whitebeard pwned Teach and died standing up after delivering a Shut Up Hannibal and I still don't feel any better.
