## One Piece Chapter 522, pages 6-7: Fatal Disease - Chapter: 522 - Pages: 6-7 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Elder Nyon, Marguerite, Portgas D. Ace, Whitebeard, Blackbeard ### Summary Page 6: Luffy is overwhelmed by the political information and shouts, "Wait wait wait, this is too much for me to handle all at once." Elder Nyon tells him his ignorance is almost a prediction, because a battle is likely imminent. Luffy hears the scale and panics: "The Shichibukai and Marine Headquarters...!!? Are going to fight with the Whitebeard Pirates!!? What the hell is going on!?" Elder Nyon explains that the World Government caused this because Whitebeard is not a man who would let one of his men die. They still plan to give Portgas D. Ace, Whitebeard's trusted subordinate, a public execution. Luffy freezes, cup in hand, as the words sink in. The page ends on the phrase "A public execution...!!!" and Luffy's blank stare, beginning the true crisis of the chapter. 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.
