Introduction

Chapter 554 is titled “Admiral Akainu”.

Cover Page

Straw Hat’s Separation Serial: Chopper’s ‘I’m not food, Dammit’ Final Volume: Birds and Human in battle.

Short Summary

Marco takes Admiral Kizaru’s attacks head on. The Giant Squad start advancing but are stopped by Jozu. Admiral Akainu sends a volley of volcanic projectiles crashing down onto the advancing pirates, sinking one of Whitebeard’s ships; however, Whitebeard defends the Moby Dick. The war rages on between the Marines and pirates. Little Oars Jr. then appears at Marineford.

Long Summary

The Marines are still shocked that Marco took an attack from Kizaru and is still standing. They all talk about the rumors of Marco’s ability. Kizaru comments on the “Mythical Beast” Zoan, saying it was scarier than a Logia as Marco takes on the form of a phoenix. Marco hurtles towards Kizaru in his Zoan form and turns into the common hybrid form for a Zoan, half animal and human. He kicks Kizaru, sending the Admiral crashing to the ground.

Kizaru seems unharmed and orders the Giant Squad to prepare for air assaults. The group of Marine giants prepare themselves, heading towards the Whitebeard Pirates. The pirates of Whitebeard prepare themselves for the “big boys”, telling everyone to stand back. Jozu appears to lift something and turns out to be a gigantic piece of an iceberg, big enough to easily cover the Giant Squad of the Marines. Akainu admonishes all the Marines for not being able to protect Marineford.

Akainu then uses a magma fist to evaporate the entire iceberg and also sends magma projectiles towards the Whitebeard Pirates. Whitebeard still stands on the whale head of his ship, watching as the projectiles destroy one of his ships….

Akainu then uses a magma fist to evaporate the entire iceberg and also sends magma projectiles towards the Whitebeard Pirates. Whitebeard still stands on the whale head of his ship, watching as the projectiles destroy one of his ships. Whitebeard mutters, saying that Akainu thought he was “cool” with his fire. Whitebeard catches a flaming rock from Akainu, catching it on his naginata. He tells Akainu to go light a birthday cake, which the Marine admiral retorts that he would like to light Whitebeard’s funeral pyre. Battle rages throughout the bay: two Whitebeard Pirates take on a Marine giant, while a man holding a flaming katana attacks a group of Marines. During this fighting, the descendant of Oars, Little Oars Jr. arrives, looming over Marineford. Gecko Moria crackles, surprised that Oars’ descendant was under Whitebeard’s command and that he wanted to claim his corpse. Donquixote Doflamingo also laughs, saying that things have just turned interesting.
