Chapter 576

Chapter 576 is called "The Great Pirate Edward Newgate".

Summary
After quickly highlighting the escaped level 6 inmates/new members of Blackbeard's crew, Whitebeard and BB begin to fight each other. BB's yami yami no mi powers negate WB's gura gura no mi powers but WB still gains the upper hand as he exclaims that he could never call BB 'son' after everything he had done. We see a flashback of a conversation between WB and Gold Roger in which Roger offers to tell WB how to get to Raftel to claim One Piece. WB turns him down saying treasure isn't what he's after. Roger notes that everyone is calling him Gold Roger when he is Gol D Roger. WB inquires about the D and it's meaning and Roger tells him off panel. Meanwhile as WB nearly kills BB by crushing his skull with one hand, cryptically saying that BB isn't a True D and that Roger is not waiting for him. BB signals his crew to attack WB and he gets mauled by BB's crew. We hear the end of the flashback conversation where WB tells Roger he isn't interested in treasure. He wants family. He apologizes to the WB pirates for letting BB defeat him. and is eulogized by the narrator listing all the injuries he had taken in this War yet his back, where his jolly roger is tattooed, bore no marks/scars of retreat as Whitebeard dies standing up.
