The battle continues...Hancock is very protective of her man.Shoddy list of highlights:- Ace decides to accept his fate, whether it be freedom or execution.- Whitebeard tricks Buggy and inmates into helping him fight the Marines.- Whitebeard catches onto Sengoku's plan and tells his pirate allies to scatter via snail phone.- Jimbei punches Moria in the stomach- Luffy is pinned by Smoker, but Hancock comes to Luffy's rescue.- Ivankov faces off against Kuma(bot).~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Since there was so much going on in this chapter, I thought summarizing it in point form would be the fastest way. No major developments this chapter other than perhaps Hancock aligning herself with Luffy. It's not a surprise of course, but Hancock switching sides will definitely help Luffy's cause. Looks like Luffy still hasn't figured out how to control his haki, so he's probably still no match for most of Shichibukai and Admirals, which means he'll need a lot of help for him to successfully rescue Ace. It seems that sufficient skill in haki can negate any sort of Devil Fruit power as demonstrated many times during the series, and that's probably why people with no Devil Fruit powers (like Skanks) can still be very powerful.On another note, Ivankov still hasn't figured out that the Kuma he's facing is (probably) not the real Kuma. Maybe Luffy should have clued him in on the fact. The real Kuma is around though, and I wonder what he's up to now that his old pal Ivankov is fighting the Marines.
