## One Piece Chapter 558, pages 1-2: Brother - Chapter: 558 - Pages: 1-2 - Characters: Luffy, Whitebeard, Portgas D. Ace, Whitebeard Pirates, Impel Down escapees, Sengoku, Kizaru, Marines ### Summary Page 1: Whitebeard questions Luffy about the message that Ace will be executed early: "They mean to execute Ace ahead of schedule!? Are you certain that is what you heard!?" Luffy answers that the Marines said they would do it when their preparations were ready, but he did not really understand the codes. He adds, "Since we both want to save Ace, I figure you should at least know that much!!" Whitebeard accepts the warning: "I see... This is indeed valuable information. I must thank you!!" Luffy says, "Nah, don't worry about it!!" and then shouts toward the platform, "I'm coming for you, Ace!" The pirates around them are stunned by Luffy's confidence and by how casually he talks with Whitebeard. Page 2: Whitebeard reasons through Sengoku's plan, saying that the Marines do not feel the need to adhere to their promised schedule for a mere pirate, and that the "preparations" seem to be the key. Sengoku confirms that the pirate side intercepted a message to the Marine troops indicating Ace's execution time is to be moved forward, then notes calmly that this information reaching Whitebeard was undoubtedly part of their plan and that accidentally allowing a key strategy to be overheard is not a mistake he would make. Luffy charges ahead, but Kizaru fires at him and says, "If we don't capture you, the Tenryuubito will never let us hear the end of it, you know... Strawhat Luffy..." Marines shout that Admiral Kizaru has appeared and that Straw Hat Luffy is done for.
