We open up with what I feel is the PERFECT summation of Ivas and Dragons working relationship. I… I don’t even know how to describe this rainbow wonderland. I just don’t.

In a flashback Bluejam, communicating with Goas king, seems reluctant to burn down the Grey Terminal seeing as it's such a rocking hideout slash neo-80’s grunge clubhouse. But the king tells him that if he shuts up and does what he says he can make him and his crew into nobles: then they can own a REAL clubhouse. With blackjack, hookers and pools filled with champagne! As Bluejam stares at his burning ship, lost as so much else to him in the blazing Grey Terminal, he sorta figures out that maybe, maybe the king was pulling a fast one on him.

Back in the city the king is being a rich douche, and a young girl with a most unfortunate set of genes is TRAINED in how to be a rich douche. Because it’s the poor peoples own fault for burning: if they had any sense, they would have been born rich after all! I wonder if a rich person killed Odas parents or something, really…

As the Grey Terminals populace flee the inferno Ace and Luffy are set upon by Bluejam who is NOT a happy camper. Having his dream and ship snatched away from him on the same night has not done his rational thinking any kind of favors as he tells the boys he’s going to let them die with him unless they tell him where they hid their loot, which he will use to gain revenge on the nobles for looking down on him at some undefined point in the alternative future in which he is NOT a charred corpse. Ace tells him it's a stupid idea, but relents to save his brothers life and Luffy makes a face that is just as stupid as Bluejams idea.



I am sorry but… man that face really sucks the tension out of the scene.

However Bluejam doesn’t let the boys go, but order them to show the way! He tells the boys that nobles are all alike and that Sabo just wanted to feel superior and have someone to lord over, and that he had no other reason to hang out with two poor trash-rats like Ace and Luffy. They flip their shit which makes one of the pirates cut Luffy, and Ace summarily ULTRA-FLIPS.




Bluejam is shocked by this turn of events, so shocked that he temporarily gains the power of clairvoyance and looks into the future, where he sees that Ace not ONCE used haki in any of his battles as an adult. This shocks and enrages him even further, and in an attempt to prevent the paradox from happening he hurls Ace to the ground and prepares to shoot him when…!



BIG MAMA DADAN IN THE HOUSE, BITCHES. The rest of the gang arrives, and the little guy (Dogura apparently) even asks where Sabo is. Daww, they DO care! Bluejam recognizes Dadan, who promptly introduces herself.
”My name is Dadan. You hurt the kids I got stuck with… prepare to RUN AWAY!”
I kind of love Dadan right now. She and Garp are about equal on the horrible-yet-awesome-parents scale. But something is wrong: Ace has NO intentions of running away. Oh Ace. Dogura sees his chance to qoute Lord of the Rings (he’s a closet fantasy fan, see) and tells Ace that no man can beat Bluejam! Which is why Dadan steps up to the plate, tells the others to haul ass out of there with Luffy, and we get this super-badass scene.



And now for something completely different: the poor helpless villagers, trapped to roast alive. All hope is lost for these unfortunate souls…



But Dragon has had enough of villain songs being all that Goa Radio plays, and switches things up with ”Go the distance”, while discussing his policy with an inquisitive Ivankov and… is that…



… Fancy seeing you there, Bart. Gathering all the poor and downtrodden, Dragon rallies them on his awesome dragon-ship and sets sail for new adventures… Also Ivankov totally keeps bugging Dragon to pick ”Colors of the Wind” as his themesong but Dragon refuses because goddammit he’s already helping Iva water his snailphone garden and that’s all the emasculating he’s willing to take.

The king is seen sleeping soundly (once again we do not see his face) and the gang weeps for Ace and Dadan who they never saw leave the Terminal but they’re still alive later so whatevs. We then cut to the soldiers cleaning out the remains of Terminal, and Sabos dad and Stelly being MEGADOUCHES. Sabo, fearing that if he stays there he shall soon absorb their doucheyness via osmosis and become just as bad sets sail the very next morning: his ship adorned with a VERY FAMILIAR looking flag, a song in his heart and freedom in his eyes! Surely nothing can- HE IS SAILING RIGHT TOWARDS THE DIVINE DRAGONS MOST LIKELY HEAVILY ARMED SHIP GODDAMMIT ODA WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO US

WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO US?

So! What a whopper of a chapter this was- Dadan and Kuma utterly and completely sold it in my opinion: seeing her stand up to Bluejam, even if it probably ended up feeding Aces bad habit was sheer awesome, and Dragon in action with all his revo-pals was just… mmm. Delicious flashback, even if most of it has been due to events Luffy had no idea even happened. Now we tune in next week, where we will see just how badly Oda can make our hearts shatter and break into tiny-whiny achey-breaky pieces.

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL WE HAVE FOR YOU TONIGHT, FOLKS!




That’s right, a new volume (58) was recently released, and the information contained therein is a real doozy! Courtesy of Arlong Park, I bring ye the names of the Whitebeard commanders, and the ages and height of the shichibukai (which could be interesting for at least Boa to know). And man, the years have not been kind to Blackbeard…

Hancock: 6 feet 3.2 inches
Mihawk: 6 feet 6 inches
Crocodile: 8 feet 3.6 inches
Jinbei: 9 feet 11 inches
Doflamingo: 10 feet 0.1 inch
Teach: 11 feet 3.4 inches
Kuma: 22 feet 7.3 inches
Moria: 22 feet 8.4 inches

Whitebeard commanders
1.Marco (マルコ)
2.Ace (エース)
3.Joz (ジョズ)
4.Thatch (サッチ)
5.Vista (ビスタ)
6.Burmenko (ブラメンコ) (chin pocket)
7.Rakuyou (ラクヨウ) (dreadlock chain chomp)
8.Namur (ナミュール) (fishman)
9.Blenheim (ブレンハイム) (Tilestone wannabe)
10.Curiel (クリエル) (hipster glasses)
11.キングデュー(Kingdue/Kingdew?) (he-man guy)
12.Haruta (ハルタ) (Prince Valiant cosplayer)
13.Atomos (アトモス) (giant, I think)
14Speed Gilles or Speed Jiru (スピード・ジル) (Fatso McBuckethead)
15.Fossa (フォッサ) (old man cigar)
16.Izou（イゾウ/以藏） (Captain trap)

Whitebeard apparently has a pet dog called Stefan, who is cooler than Sengokus goat in every way. We also get info on Marcos and Tsurus devil fruits. Tsurus is called ”Wash wash no mi” and can "clean someone up, even the darkness in their heart”. It is apparently not an offensive ability, most of the time. Marcos phoenix flame cannot hurt others, only heal him (there is a limit to it but Oda doesn’t say what it is) and absorb energy attacks, and apparently we haven’t seen the last of him yet. Exciting stuff! Hope you enjoy this info, and that your browser didn’t explode from all the images!

Dragons favorite Disney-flick is totally Dumbo. Calling it now.
