One Piece Chapter 552

[Augury]

The FH scan says that Ace rejected an invitation to be a Shichibukai, which seems accurate to me based on his personality. The earlier release by SukiKim says that he was a Shichibukai. I haven't read any other scans. The two translations also differ quite a bit in tone, especially in that one panel with the three admirals' comments.

I don't think Ace will be kicking the bucket anytime soon, otherwise there would probably be a more detailed flashback.

When I saw the two tsunamis approaching, I realized that most of the recognizable powerhouses on the marines' side are devil fruit users. Mihawk (and possibly Sengoku?) are the notable exceptions.

FH was also missing page 16....

Despite being logia, Jimbei and Whitebeard both seemed to be able to beat him up pretty well. I could see Jimbei maybe using water attacks to counter Ace's fire attacks, but I'm sure Whitebeard fought in the same manner as Rayleigh did against Kizaru. Of course, Oda left out the details about those fights...

I wonder if Ivankov would be pissed that he ruined his position in impel down and put himself at the forefront of a war when the guy being executed isn't related to Dragon after all. Also, I get the feeling Luffy doesn't realize Gold Roger was the name of the former Pirate King. Rayleigh did mention Roger by name when they talked, right?

Yeah, cnet's translation made more sense to me than Svg's.

I replaced Franky-House's release with Binktopia's. Their release seems to be the best.
