This chapter really solidified how much of a dick Akainu really is. It will be sweet when someone puts boots to him.

You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.

Also, I love that Shanks is the one to recover the straw hat. I wonder if he's going to hold onto it until the next time him and Luffy meet again.

I wonder why exactly the "few seconds" are so important, maybe because they saved Luffy, and Shanks is still betting the New Age on him?
To add to the previous conversation: my pants are also stained white. It is great to see Shanks show up - not to mention he looks absolutely badass along with Beckman. It's great that Oda had him make an appearance after two prominent characters died, rather than before (as to stop the deaths from happening).
I think, for now, Shanks will make the Marine's realize that rather than wasting half their forces on chasing fleeing pirates they need to focus on BlackBeard considering he's destroying the whole damn island. I don't think we'll see much fighting from him, but I sure hope he lays the beat-down on Akainu, or even kills hims (though this is doubtful).
Shanks probably sees that - to a point - the Marines are needed to keep the world safe from malicious, murderous pirates (i.e. BB), so does not want them completely eradicated, especially with BB and his new found power. Shanks will also probably open a few eyes considering a pirate - one of the Yonkou no less - saved a marine that was about to be killed by a high ranking Marine - an Admiral. Shouldn't that be the other way around?
Oh, and I enjoy how arguably for the first time Akainu looks scared (when Shanks stops his attack on the double spread). I guess you could say it is surprise but I think there is some fear in his expression.

We must note that the Tsunami warning had people flee from the monitors not seeing this. And we really haven't seen more monitors on other lands... so the world missed this very big event.
I want to see Buggy's reaction upon Shanks' arrival.
probably along the lines of "you've come too late to stop me, my nemsis. I'll kill you next!"
only this time, he'll mean it.

I jizzed my pants.
Second that! Holy shit! The most awesome pirate enters the stage. The wait for the next chapter is gonna be torture.
What a predictable chapter, i totally saw this one coming... seriously...
Coby gets my Kudos. Seriously any more fighting with Whitebeards is a waste of Marine's lives.

I came. Three times.
I don't know if the chapter was that good, but I hope this arc is wrapped up soon. And man, that absolute justice crap makes people crazy, it seems like (or it it just chiefly adopted by crazy people?) . I think Sengoku will order his men to stand down. I know he is supposed to champion absolute justice as well, but they basically accomplished what they set out to do, and he doesn't seem like a fool.
Haha, look at the expression on Akainu's face..... I hope Shanks gets out of this unscathed. Theres one pirate I definitely dont want to see harmed.
Yeah, Shanks doesn't seem that strong. I recall it saying that Shanks used to rival Mihawk before he lost his arm, and Mihawk's pretty small fish at the moment compared to everyone else is he not?
Who said it was before he lost his arm? And if I remember correctly, Mihawk said he gave up on challenging Shanks, which imlpies that it was Mihawk's goal to defeat Shanks, which implies that Shanks is the stronger of the two.
Didn't Zoro want to challenge Mihawk because Mihawk holds the title for "World's strongest swordsman"?

Shanks was able to split the sky with Whitebeard back when he visited him on that ship, so I think he is probably close to Whitebeard's strength.
Just because he uses a sword doesn't mean he is a "swordsman". Whitebeard used that spear, but his main ability was the Quake. Mihawk may be the strongest swordsman, but he is certainly not the strongest fighter.

When was this? I was pretty sure Shanks or someone else had said they used to be both neck and neck in swordsmanship at least when he still had his arm. Maybe it was when they were drinking some sake together? I can't recall.
