(Voices what?! Whose "voice" did you hear go silent in your head kid? And what the hell does that mean?!! It's... not a fruit ability, is it? Or perhaps related to Roger's ability to hear the voice of "all things"?! And why one? O_o Lots of people have died... right?)

Oh Coby &hearts&hearts&hearts So awesome standing Akainu (that bastard!) down, and knowing he's going to die and having no regrets!!! &hearts&hearts You be an awesome Marine Coby! The world needs decent caring people like you. (*grumbles about the current Admirals*)

I had the oddest feeling after the chapter, I mean besides the squeeing and the massive gleeing over SHANKS IS BACK!!! and such. It's the end. The war at Marineford that is. Coby's words jolted everyone back to their senses, so now that Shanks is here in full force, it's time for Luffy to get to safety and heal. I don't know how. I wonder if Shanks will actually get to see his little Anchor face-to-face and hand the hat back to him, jolting him back to his cheerful and determined self. I certainly hope so! Luffy is still in that state with the same expression and he's...just an object now that everyone's either trying to destroy or protect and it's wrong! Luffy's always been an active force, choosing his own destiny and now that he's failed someone for the first time... Sorry, I know I should be happy now that Shanks is finally finally back, but Luffy... ;_;

Well on a brighter note, Coby's shown how much he's grown from that scared boy that finally had the guts to go against Alvida and join the Marines! I'm so proud of the little pink-haired Marine brat! *ruffles hair* You did good, kid! I see you as a powerful mover in the future! Shanks said it, and even Blackbeard paused to listen!

The voice he heard...I think it's Luffy's spirit. The thing that's kept him going all this time, trying to become strong so he can match up to the incredible pirate that inspired him. Now that Luffy's broken down, both physically and spiritually, Coby can't feel his spirit anymore. That's just my theory! :)

You always get me so pumped up after reading OP! It's really nice! Thanks! ^^

[identity profile] eiliem.livejournal.com 2010-03-25 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Luffy is in a bad state now, yeah ;_;

I'm torn - on the one hand I want Luffy and Shanks reunion after so long to be an awesome happy triumphant event - Luffy deserves that dammit!

On the other hand TT__TT - someone make Luffy better!!!!

The voice he heard...I think it's Luffy's spirit.

TT___TT I hope not, if only because of what that means for Luffy. *cliiings*

You did good, kid!

&hearts yes, this so much! Oh Coby. You will be great one day sweetheart.

\o/ I'm glad I get you pumped up! &hearts *snuggles*

..."You did good, kid", that is the translation? Seriously?!

Okay. No.

Shanks said "Well done, young marine," which has a rather different tone. For one, it's much more respectful. And then there was more, but I'm sure the scanlators made a good job of it, even if they are making Shanks sound like he did back in Fuusha, instead of rather formal.

Hey, I am going crazy over here and being nitpicky is easier than PACKING MY ENTIRE APARTMENT.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

OMFG, SHANKS! You know how we said that the only possible people that could help Luffy heal are his crew or SHANKS?

SHANKS!!

And Coby, of course!

I am actually NOT SURE what Coby is hearing, but I do hope it is like you said--the voice of all things. :D that would be super cool!

Luffy...the straw hat...

SHANKS!

Hahaha, "OMG#&# *hearts*hearts* *flailing'" is the universal reaction to this chapter.. and the word epic... I couldn't overuse the word epic in my post-reaction to chap 579. xD

Coby owned the world in those few seconds, but he owned them goooooooddd!!! I wonder who that voice was... What Coby has is most probably Mantra as explaned and shown somewhere before in the manga... Very few people have it. <3

I almost forgot Luffy during all of this... I seriously am waiting for some magic, Mister Trafalgar Law. ;___;

"OMG#&# *hearts*hearts* *flailing'"

XDDDD so true


Coby owned the world in those few seconds, but he owned them goooooooddd!!!


*GLEEEEE* Yes he did! It was beautiful. Oh One Piece - only in this manga could a boy sobbing his heart out have the power to change the world &hearts

MAGIC! TRAFALGAR LAW! \o/ yessssss please!

[identity profile] darylchan.livejournal.com 2010-03-25 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Isn't the "voice of all things" like mantra, though? And with mantra, a person's voice goes out when they die...and Koby said he heard ONE voice go out. Not TWO. And it was only after Whitebeard died that he said that...

...oh god. I don't want to get my hopes up. ;A;

It would be totally like Oda to slip a hint like this in where no one will notice it, too. =w=

Thank you, I wasn't the only one who noticed Coby is using Mantra! ^__^

Although, I think there may be a problem with the translation... I haven't read the scanlation, but in the original, Coby says:

"The voices in my head... are disappearing... one by one..."

So he's definitely talking about people on the battlefield in general, not a particular person.

[identity profile] eiliem.livejournal.com 2010-03-26 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
That... is a much better translation. Thank you &hearts

Poor Coby.

[identity profile] darylchan.livejournal.com 2010-03-27 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
o_o Daaaamn. There goes that theory. And the better translation just makes the situation worse. Poor Koby.

[identity profile] schneefink.livejournal.com 2010-03-25 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
YES EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!

(On the one hand, it´s great that I found out where to get scanlations on Wednesday instead of Thursday. Wheeee! But I always loved reading mad squeeing immediately afterwards and now I have to wait. *sigh*)

And I will be OPTIMISTIC because there is HOPE and I will NOT think of how Shanks will end the war because somehow suddenly everyone seems to be self-sacrificing (Ace! Whitebeard! Jimbei! The WB pirates!) and Shanks WILL survive, yes he will!

Also, Luffy got away!

*hugs you and jumps up and down* SHANKS IS AWESOME!

*snuggles*

SHANKS WILL BE FINE!!! He has Ben! And Yasopp and everyone else and they are BAD ASS!!!

There will be NO SELF-SACRIFICE! Thank you very much! >.> *glares at Oda*

Luffy got away!! He did he did and now Law can make him all better! except for, you know, emotionally but... *clings to denial muahaha*

*Hugs you back!! Jumps up and down with you!* &hearts

HAAAAAAAAAT.

[identity profile] thisistony.livejournal.com 2010-03-25 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
AHahahahahaha, I'm glad I'm not the only one who went "VOICE OF ALL THINGS?"

I think the "one" part was maybe one right then..? Or, idk. But I think it would be Epic if Coby had that same power as Roger -- but now thinking about it, Oda-sensei wouldn't do that. XD He would totally come up with a new power. (Unless having that Ability makes Coby a better Epic Shounen Rival)

In response to some of the other comments here, I don't think this is hope that Ace is alive - but there's always the point of no one keeping track of Ace's body. I feel that is extremely significant. ESPECIALLY SINCE I DON'T WANT MERAMERA BLACKBEARD, HOLY FUCK, so I've been looking for Ace's body...


Also, keep in mind that the "doctor" that has Luffy is LAW, so maybe Law'll graft some part of Ace's body onto Luffy to help him recover. :x

Anyway, HAT. I think you totally called it in the last few chapters when you were all "DID HE LOSE HIS HAT?"

Re: HAAAAAAAAAT.

[identity profile] eiliem.livejournal.com 2010-03-26 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Apparently, "one" was a mistranslation. The correct one, brought to us by [livejournal.com profile] shayera &hearts is "The voices in my head... are disappearing... one by one..."

Which makes so much more sense.

And, if I had been paying attention, is the Mantra that Aisa had on Skypeia.

ANSWERS PLEASE ODA!!!

Are Mantra and Haki the same thing? (I've been assuming so, but - ha, this is Oda's story) How do they work!?!?!?

And when will Luffy learn to use his?! (How will he learn? Will he have a teacher?)

so maybe Law'll graft some part of Ace's body onto Luffy to help him recover.

o_o I really really hope not ;_; that would be... disturbing. And sad. T_T

HAT

HAT AND SHANKS! Team Awesome, right there. XD

[identity profile] shayera.livejournal.com 2010-03-26 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
Coby hears voices that disappears when people die on the battlefield. That's exactly the same ability that Aisa had on Skypiea. Coby just discovered that he can use Mantra! (I can't believe I'm the only one who noticed this?)

That said, SHAAAAANKS!!!!! ^_________^ This totally made my day.

Shanks is late. I wish he could have been there sooner... But better late than never, and I seriously didn't expect him to arrive at all! And his entrance was made of glee.

HE PICKED UP THE HAT. One of Luffy's goals, except for becoming the Pirate King, was to return that hat to Shanks. It's returned now! ^^ Except I expect Shanks to return it to Luffy instead, and that's going to be made of WIN.

Did you notice that Beckman threatened Kizaru with a gun? I'm assuming this means that Beckman has enough haki himself to hurt logia users with pistol bullets (the Amazon Lilies put haki into their arrows, so yes!).

[identity profile] eiliem.livejournal.com 2010-03-26 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
MANTRA! ☆_☆

Oda, we can haz explanation nao!??!?!!! Or soon?!

Haki/Mantra - how do these things work!?!?!?


SHAAAAAAAANKS!!! *flails, glees, does happy dance*

HAAAAT! HAT HAT HAT! HAT and SHANKS!!! &hearts&hearts&hearts&hearts&hearts&hearts

Beckman and his gun were awesome and Kizaru was definitely concerned so, yes, I expect Haki is involved XD

(seriously Oda, explanations!!!)

Oda's story is the best I have ever read, and moments like all of these is why.

So in this whole arc, two of the most important things we've learned has been:

GENDER IS A CHOICE

and now STAND UP AND SPEAK UP AGAINST THINGS THAT ARE WRONG, even if you are the only one, and weak, and nobody else does.

These are pretty damn awesome messages.

Just like Shanks, and Coby, who are BIG DAMN HEROES. SUCH BIG DAMN HEROES.

I cannot get over this chapter. I wasn't even questioning why Coby was hearing the voices go out one by one and this is why I do not read scanlations :P - at least all the mistakes in my understanding are my OWN!, just going with the flow and the way it was affecting him... oh.

(Randomly - do we KNOW this is the first time?! He might have had the power of mantra for a while, but never really paid attention to it/thought it was anything out of the ordinary...?)

I am so happy, and so sad, because SHANKS CAME but by that time it was TOO LATE for Luffy, who was being whisked away, and had failed in his rescue attempt and failed at the whole hat thing and... I don't know; Luffy pretty much NEEDS to be the best Pirate King the world has ever seen because he needs to FINALLY SUCCEED IN SOMETHING.

SAILING HAS NOT BEEN SMOOTH FOR LUFFY. AND NOW SHANKS KNOWS THAT HE LOST THE HAT.

So. It's not just squee and flail here but also goddamn Luffy has been crushed in so many ways PLEASE BOUNCE BACK ... he is made of rubber, HE CAN BOUNCE I BELIEVE IT...!!

(Randomly - do we KNOW this is the first time?! He might have had the power of mantra for a while, but never really paid attention to it/thought it was anything out of the ordinary...?)

I guess we don't know, really. I just got that impression from Helmeppo asking what's the matter, and Coby going "I don't know..." before explaining about the voices. It's like it's unexpected to him.

Shanks arrived, but too late for Luffy, and too late for Ace (and Shirohige). In time for Coby, though. ♥

Coby did something AWESOME, and he lives to tell about it. The hat is okay, and Shanks of all people has it. Luffy got away and Law will save his life. There is HOPE. *hugs*
