Chapter 558 summary
Whitebeard questions Luffy about the intercepted message that Ace's execution will happen ahead of schedule, and Luffy confirms what he overheard while shouting that he is coming for Ace. Whitebeard accepts the warning as Sengoku notes that the information was deliberately allowed to reach them. Luffy charges forward until Kizaru fires at him, but Ivankov redirects the blast with a Death Wink. Luffy recognizes Kuma and Hina as they attack, yet he slips past both while Ivankov fights Kuma and Jinbe later neutralizes Moria's zombies with seawater. Ace repeatedly shouts for Luffy to turn back and insists he does not want his brother dragged into his fate. Luffy rejects this and declares that he is Ace's brother, recalling the childhood ritual that formed their bond. Sengoku announces to the battlefield that Luffy is also Dragon's son, shocking the assembled forces. Luffy inflates his arm with Gear Third and strikes a giant Marine while Whitebeard orders Marco not to let the boy die.
