Episode 484

"Marine Headquarters Collapses! Whitebeard's Silent Rage!" is the 484th episode of One Piece anime.

Summary
Luffy's mind collapsed due to the emotional trauma when Ace died, so Jinbe takes him away. The Whitebeard Pirates and their Allies then vow to protect him. An enraged Whitebeard fights Akainu, having his torso pierced through once again, but still defeats the Logia user whilst starting the destruction of Marineford; splitting the ground between him and his sons. Surprisingly, the Blackbeard Pirates appear in Marineford, with their new crew members. Everyone stares in shock at the supposed Impel Down's Level 6 prisoners, as Blackbeard exclaims he's happy to have arrived in time to see Whitebeard's death.

Anime and Manga Differences

 * In the manga, Akainu burns off half of Whitebeard's face. In the anime, only part of his facial hair is burned off, and Akainu also pierces through Whitebeard's torso using the same attack (Meigo). This was most likely done to tone down the graphic nature of the event.
 * Akainu was able to push Marco out of the way to go after Luffy, whereas in the manga, he was still trying to get past him when Whitebeard attacked.
 * The fight between Whitebeard and Akainu is extended.
 * In the manga, Luffy's mind instantly collapses when Ace dies, while in the anime, there is a montage of Luffy having flashes of Ace dying while crying before his mind collapses.
