Ace may your soul be eternal, and your brave soul will always be with us

This volume was so good and features the death of well mentioned in the volumes name and when he dies, its so emotional and seeing Luffy's reaction to it just broke me and like even after they rescue him and he wakes up and cries for his brother, its just emotional. And then there is the death of whitebeard and the blackbeard twist with his powers and a massive victory for the marines but now that ONE PIECE is real has been declared, more and more pirates are coming out. And we learn of the backstory of Luffy and Ace when they were kids. Its such a great volume and sheds so much light on one of the most crucial moments in the series history. Brilliant writing and twists and turns just wow!

5 TURNING POINT STARS!
The first REAL death that really knocked me off. I'm wailing like a baby!!! What a feeling. This two great man death will bring another movement in the pirates' world. Damn Ace always be my fave and the most handsome/normal character ever :D

La guerra terminó :( Ace y Shirohige murieron, me encanta el sueño que tenía Newgate el de firmar una familia 💜 si la llore con este volumen xd me lo leo en dos partes. De nuevo tengo ganas de ponerme al día, quiero saber que onda la fruta de Luffy 🤭 he estado un poco floja para leer, ya perdí mi racha 🥲 pues ni modo, toca volver a empezarla
En resumen Akainu y Kurohige me caen mal, Buggy tiene una suerte (solo por ser el favorito de Oda xd), koby tuvo su momento y Shanks fue el que dió por finalizada la guerra.
Law fue para rescatar a Luffy y ahora empezamos los capítulos cuando nos cuentan la historia de niños de Ace, Sabo y Luffy.

The War was the climax of the first half of One Piece. The peak. Where mostly everything came to a head, where the plot threads up until that point were bound together, and where we could finally see just how high Luffy yet needed to rise - just how formidable the true great powers of the world were. It teased great many things, gave us a bit to taste of so many characters and plot points, all the while still leaving the main course for later. To this day, it has not been topped, and the main course remains uneaten, yet we can already smell it coming...
Anyway, now it's the time for wrapping up and denouement. Some extra backstory for Luffy, who was somewhat lacking in tragedy and loss as compared to his crewmates. Ace desperately needed some fleshing out, too. But Sabo rather came out of nowhere.

Ouch! This one hurts! I did not expect this war to end the way it ended. I just don't have the words to talk to how devastated I am. But this was so beautifully written. I am excited for the new era and how things will go in this new era. I also loved the ending showing the background of Luffy and Ace’s friendship/brotherhood. Felt it was a great way to wrap this volume up.

Muy bien mantenido el ritmo y el tono durante el final de la guerra. Ahora toca lamerse las heridas (yo sigo llorando a Ace) y admirar la epicidad de Barbablanca. Ay, este arco intermedio de flashback me va a partir el corazón.

In this volume, Oda concludes the Marineford war; It was an action-packed, fantastic, emotional arc.
What an amazing conclusion to Paradise saga; the first half of the Grand Line. A new era will begin with the second half, the New World.
New threats and challenges that Stawhats must overcome, a Power-up is needed or they won't survive.
Wonderful arc. I can't wait to find out what will they do next.

First chapter of this volume is Ace's last words and they destroyed me. The parallels between Ace's life and relationships with his father figures are done really well. Then Blackbeard comes. Then Whitebeard's death. Then hell breaks and Shanks has to save everything. This was Oda's goal from the beginning and he executed it perfectly.
After the dust settles we go ten years back and we heal with a flashback of Ace, Luffy & Sabo. Like that doesn't end in tragedy, right...

For me, One Piece is best Manga ever written. The story always touch my heart, it is a combination of faithful friendship, laughter, loyalty and action.
Some people might find this manga as silly and pointless (I’ve heard this before) but they never truly read the Manga and therefore judging it simply from the cover. I’ve been in that position too…and thank God I finally looked beyond the cover and found the greatest adventure any Mangaka ever written.

This volume one hell of an eventful volume by far the whole series. It had too much action but they were all really interesting and meaningful. Nothing was unnecessary. And the elements like tragedy, betrayal, loyalty, courage, inhuman treatment, deception, pay back(for better and worse), flashbacks were all perfectly portrayed in this war arc making this volume the best of best. I have lot of feels. One piece finally broke my heart. Congratulations.

December 31, 2023While I found Marineford generally too long for my liking and did not care much for Ace until the very end, I can certainly see the reason why so many people regard it as of the top tier arcs in one piece. The conflict and portrayal of power-struggle are superb and I especially love how 'the end of the era' can be felt even by newer fans like me just through the sheer emotion. While I would have preferred more focus on emotional feats of the story instead of constant power-scaling, I would like to revisit this arc later in anime adaptation

”I'm a worthless man…With the blood of a demon flowing through me… Thank you.. For loving me…”
ace died in luffy's arms.
the death of akainu will be a satisfying one to read.
”Take Ace's brother and go, Jimbei. His life is Ace's living will. We'll protect him in Ace's place. If we let him die, it'll be a disgrace to the Whitebeard pirates.”
teach got more criminals from impel down to follow him.
i've always told “gold d. roger” was his name but it's actually “gol d. roger” and apparently teach has “d” in his name as well.
“one piece is real” whitebeard ignited the belief again. he wasn't after the one piece nor was he after fame. whitebeard just wanted a family and he got his wish. edward newgate died standing up at age 72 after waging a war to get his son back.
blackbeard stole whitebeard's devil fruit. (first the similar name and now this? be original dude) but then again, now blackbeard has 2 powers???
crocodile's a surprisingly good ally??
LAW CAME AROUND!!! SHANKS CAME TOO!! sengoku allowed shanks to take ace and whitebeard away for burial.
— the war has ended —
with whitebeard's death, chaos still ensued in the territories that was once his. innocents were still killed and lands were taken over by other pirates. regardless, there are more problems on the marine's side as well despite their “win.”
many prisoners had escaped impel down and the government is trying to cover it up.
jimbei and law's crew were brought to the isle of women with boa hancock while ivankov left.
luffy's awake and in grief.
backstory on how ace and luffy became friends, and the subsequent friendship with sabo.

No puedo decir mucho sobre este tomo sin entrar en claros spoilers. Lo que sí puedo decir es que es mi tomo favorito hasta ahora.
Hay mucha tensión, mucha acción, muchos giros, mucha emotividad, muchos flashbacks y escenas desgarradoras de varias formas. En varios momentos del tomo, distintos personajes mencionan que es el fin de una era, estoy convencido que lo es, el tomo te deja claro que habrá un parte aguas en la historia después del volumen y eso habla de la buena narrativa de Oda.
Los flashbacks entre Ace y Luffy me gustaron mucho. Luffy de niño me da mucha ternura, y tenía rato que no veíamos flashbacks de su infancia. Finalmente aparece el muy mencionado Sabo y eso fue sorpresivo pero gratificante.
Entiendo un poco más el tipo de relación que llevaban Luffy y Ace, también me quedan claras las heridas emocionales que tenía Ace y por qué era tan importante para Luffy salvarlo. Estos flashbacks solo potencializan las emociones del tomo anterior. Con la conclusión de este volumen, toda la guerra duele más.
Barbanegra parece alzarse como el villano máximo de One Piece hasta ahora, será interesante ver cómo evolucionan los personajes hasta poder enfrentarse. Pocas veces agradezco que un autor maneje las cosas con un ritmo lento pero creo que Oda ha mostrado que vale la pena confiar en el aunque su ritmo sea muy lento.
Quiero saber más sobre Shanks, como personaje es interesante y me dejó muchas interrogantes sobre sus habilidades y su pasado, ¿Qué habrá hecho para ganar tanto respeto?
El arco de Marineford sin duda es el mejor arco hasta ahora.

One Piece, Vol. 59 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next eleven chapters (574–584) of the on-going manga series.
This tankōbon concludes the Marineford Arc and begins the next one. Portgas D. Ace dies from his injuries and Monkey D. Luffy is devastated by the loss and the pirates, having failed to rescue him, flee. Whitebeard tries to avenge Ace, but he is killed by Blackbeard and his own crew of Impel Down escapees.
Blackbeard absorbs Whitebeard's ability to create earthquakes and uses it to lay waste to Marine Headquarters. When the battle turns into a battle royale between Blackbeard, the navy, and the retreating pirates, Red-Haired Shanks – Luffy's idol, intervenes and convinces all sides to stop fighting.
As the world comes to grips with all that happened during the war, Hancock takes Luffy back to the island of women to recover. Luffy spends his time there reflecting on how he, Ace, and a boy named Sabo, have come to consider each other brothers despite having completely different backgrounds.
This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Eiichirō Oda. For the most part it is written and constructed rather well. Portgas D. Ace dies from his injuries after protecting Monkey D. Luffy and he does not take his death well. Luffy reminisces about the time he and Portgas D. Ace and another boy named Sabo became brothers.
All in all, One Piece, Vol. 59 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems really intriguing and I can't wait to read more.

The Paramount War of Marineford.
The biggest arc yet. There are some characters in one piece that don’t appear that often. But when they do it’s always a moment of epic proportions. And this arc is full of those. And I believe his moment in this arc is what made Shanks a legend for the first time. Blackbeard is also going crazy here, opening up a lot of questions and seemingly pulling all the strings. Of course Whitebeard is also manifested as a legend with one of the most epic moments ever.
This arc subverts the readers expectations in one of the most heartbreaking twist in all of one piece.
The war itself is very well done in all regards and we also see more of the navy’s most powerful players. One of them you learn to hate.
I noticed some foreshadowing connected to a reveal that just happened in the anime a few weeks ago so that’s also crazy considering how old this arc is.
It’s just crazy what oda did here and I can’t wait to see how he handles the final final battle of the series, as this has been sort of a midway point of the series.
THE ONE PIECE DOES EXIST!

AND IF I SAID I WANTED TO WALK INTO TRAFFIC WHAT THEN? God, that was so upsetting. Ace just wanted someone to love him and wish him to be alive bc he only received so much hate as a child for something that wasn’t even his fault. And baby Luffy, loved him unconditionally. I would be stunned too if I witnessed that. I’m legit crying. There are tears pouring down my face. I am distraught. AND now you want me to sit thru their backstory??? Ugh. Oda, when I see you, it’s on SIGHT! Also, I gasped when shanks showed up! That’s shit was insane!! And everyone being like yeah absolutely not we ain’t fighting him. What a beast he is! Even whitebeard didn’t have this much fear behind him. That’s saying something. I can’t wait to find out more.
