Being the first one over the wall is not always the best.
Chapter 565 Summary:
Back at the Shabaody Archipelago, the crowd wonder why the execution broadcast suddenly cut off. Among the crowd are the big bounty pirates that had fought Kizaru and PX bots at the archipelago, and all of them decide to set sail for Marineford.
Akainu rains down lava fists into the bay which turns the ice into pools of lava and destroys Whitebeard's flagship Moby Dick. The Marine then rain down on the pirates with cannon fire from the siege walls. Whitebeard tries to break the Marine's siege walls but the walls are able to withstand his attacks. Seeing that the pirates are being held off, Sengoku orders Ace's execution to proceed. Luffy charges at only gap into wall but ends being blown up, but he refuses to give up and asks Jimbei for a favor.
The battle has awakened Oars Jr. who is still barely alive. Kizaru prepares to finish Oars Jr., but suddenly Luffy vaunts over the siege walls with Jimbei's help and starts fighting the three admirals. Seeing the situation, Whitebeard orders Oars Jr. to stay where he is and the rest of the pirates prepare to charge the execution platform.
Strong World 0 Summary:
Years ago before Gold Rogers became the pirate king, there was another powerful pirate named "Golden Lion" Shiki who fought Gold Rogers in a famous battle. When Gold Rogers was arrested, Shiki charged into Marineford and demanded to have a rematch with Rogers, but he was eventually apprehended by Garp and Sengoku. Shiki was thrown into Impel Down, but two years after Roger's death Shiki escaped from the prison by cutting off his own feet. Shiki eventually finds his way to Whitebeard and states that he has a grand plan for the world.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We got two chapters of One Piece this week which was a nice surprise. The special "Strong World" is supposed to a tie-in to the upcoming One Piece movie of the same name. About half of the chapter was introducing Shiki who's likely one of the major characters in the movie, and the other half of the chapter was just showing various other characters in their younger days. The special wasn't that interesting, especially since I'll probably never watch the movie.
As for chapter 565, the situation hasn't changed that much, but Whitebeard's forces have a sliver of hope as Oars Jr. wakes up. This will give Whitebeard's forces a path to rush up to the platform and get themselves into a better position. Luffy and Whitebeard still look overmatched though. It was a bit weird seeingthat all the Shichibukai including Hancock lining up again. I thought Hancock was openly defying orders, but why isn't she helping Luffy when he's fighting the admirals? And I thought all the Shichibukai were engaged in fights as well, and there was no mention of the Pacifista bots in this chapter. I suppose there's just too many things going in the battle for one chapter to touch upon.
