## One Piece Chapter 558, pages 9-10: Brother - Chapter: 558 - Pages: 9-10 - Characters: Luffy, Portgas D. Ace, young Luffy, young Ace, Jinbe, Marines, Whitebeard Pirates, Gecko Moria, Moria's zombies ### Summary Page 9: Luffy rejects Ace's attempt to push him away, roaring across the battlefield, "'Cause I'm your brother!!!" Ace is stunned. A flashback recalls the ritual that made their bond: "Did you know? If you exchange drinks, you can form a bond of brotherhood! From today on, we are brothers!!" Young Ace and young Luffy smile together. In the present, Luffy adds, "I don't give a crap about those stupid pirate rules!!" Ace can only mutter, "You idiot, Luffy..." The page makes the chapter title explicit: Luffy is not there as a subordinate or ally, but as Ace's brother. Page 10: The Marines are confused by Luffy's claim, asking, "Did he just say, 'brother'!? Then... he's Roger's son as well...!?" Another points out that both of Ace's parents died when he was born, so he could not possibly have a younger brother. Moria orders, "Attack, my zombies!!!" and the undead charge, but Jinbe steps in. The zombies recoil with cries of "Sea-water!!?" and Jinbe explains, "Those zombies of yours... I seem to recall salt was their weakness, right?" He uses seawater to neutralize them, and Luffy happily shouts, "Jinbe!!!" as Jinbe clears a path through Moria's forces.
