## One Piece Chapter 522, pages 7-8: Fatal Disease - Chapter: 522 - Pages: 7-8 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Marguerite, Elder Nyon, Portgas D. Ace, Blackbeard, Whitebeard ### Summary Page 7: Luffy turns sharply, asking, "Ace... Fire Fist Ace...!! Who?" Elder Nyon explains, "Apparently, a pirate named Blackbeard defeated Fire Fist Ace... and became a new Shichibukai..." She adds that the Government suddenly gained a major chip in the way of the pirate Ace and plans to use it in a big way. Luffy is stunned and asks, "Ace is going to be executed!?" Then he grabs Marguerite and shouts the truth: "That's my big brother...!!! Ace is my brother!!!" Everyone reacts in shock. The page links the world-shaking war news directly to Luffy's personal life. What sounded like distant politics becomes an urgent family emergency: Ace is not only Whitebeard's subordinate, but Luffy's older brother. Page 8: Marguerite and Elder Nyon reel from the revelation. Marguerite asks, "Really!? He's your brother!?" Luffy says he did not even know Ace had been captured and asks whether there is no way to escape. Elder Nyon says, "Uuuhhm!! If Whitebeard wins this fight, he could be saved." Luffy urgently asks where the public execution will be. Elder Nyon answers that it is at the plaza of a town called Marinford, owned by Marine Headquarters, and that it is "in one week," about six days from today. Luffy is horrified: "Wha!? That's so soon!!!" He asks how long it takes to get to Shabondy from Amazon Lily. Elder Nyon says it will take at least a week, and Luffy realizes that if he goes to Sabaody first and meets his friends, it will be all over for Ace.
