## One Piece Chapter 650, pages 5-6: Two Changes You Need to Know - Chapter: 650 - Pages: 5-6 - Characters: Jinbe, Akainu, Sakazuki, Aokiji, Monkey D. Luffy, Nami, Nico Robin, Marshall D. Teach, Blackbeard Pirates, Whitebeard Pirates, Edward Newgate, Tony Tony Chopper ### Summary Page 5: Jinbe gives the result plainly: "The victor was Akainu!!" and "Sakazuki is the new fleet admiral of the Marines...!!" Luffy grips himself at the name and mutters, "Akainu...!!" The cost was brutal. When Nami asks, "So did Aokiji die, then?" Jinbe says both parties were severely wounded, but "even Akainu could not find it in himself... to slaughter the one-time ally who lay helpless before him." Aokiji staunchly refused to serve under Akainu and left the Marines. Robin asks whether Aokiji is no longer a Marine, and Jinbe confirms, "Indeed. I do not know what has become of him since." One thing, however, is certain: "The Marines have lost a powerful asset." Page 6: Jinbe warns the crew to listen carefully. If nothing else, they must understand "two great changes that have shaken the New World in these past two years." The first is the Marines themselves: under Fleet Admiral Sakazuki, Marine HQ "has become a more powerful force for justice than ever before." That power was granted by the measures the government took after losing Aokiji. The other change concerns "the Blackbeard Pirates." The name lands differently among the Straw Hats. Luffy remembers, "Blackbeard... the crew we met back in Mock Town!!" Chopper adds, "The guy who crushed my hometown!!" Jinbe explains that Blackbeard was once a member of the Whitebeard Pirates and intimately familiar with Whitebeard's territories. After Whitebeard's death, he conquered those regions almost immediately, using none other than the Gura Gura powers he stole from the old man himself.
