I'm glad oda made this chapter extra long.
i like all the prison staff already.
Though he has survived up to now in the grandline without seemingly much trouble, so it is very likely he has improved.
he's in impel down, LOL. I think that's trouble. But I do think that he's gotten stronger. It's a shame that he didn't break 100 million though.
@Zik:
That Domino chick seems to only have one half of shades. I really don't see the bridge over the nose connecting to the other part.
Can you see it now?

@Zik:
]The translation on Om is saying "vigilant" snails, shouldn't it be video? A couple of spelling and grammar errors as well.
Vigilant -adjective: keenly watchful to detect danger; wary: a vigilant sentry.

Yh lol, thats why i said up til now
@Fire Fist:
Please, quit it. It's a bit immature to call another person's idea stupid, no matter how unlikely you think it to be.
Said the walking reason as to why this is wrong.
Hah, everyone was saying that Luffy was just gonna rush in and rampage but he was actually bein' pretty sneaky till Buggy ruined it.
Why do I get the feeling this arc is gonna end with one of Impel Down's outer walls somehow getting destroyed and flooding the place? Even if they have some sort of emergency backup to keep all of the levels from filling up, I'd still love to see it.
Ahahah, a big uproar! That's great!
it seams like the greater the levels are the more dangerous the prisoner is im geussing the floor luffy is on now is only full of useless pirate hincmen that would easly be captured so he should probally go down a floor or two then realease the prisoners. but we cant even be sure luffy or buggy will do that.
^well isn't buggy from that floor?
You know, I didn't really like this chapter as much as 525… Not as epic? Sort of preditcable? Fuck me, right? :/ That last scene was bad-ass, though. I was expecting Luffy and Buggy to talk about Ace.
^well isn't buggy from that floor?
No, I'm pretty sure Buggy was from Level 4.. His bounty isn't over 100 million.
^well isn't buggy from that floor?
Buggy escaped from the fourth floor.
Shame, that means he hadn't passed the 100 million mark.
Overall, great chapter, shame we have to wait two (?) weeks till the next one…
2 weeks? man, we just took a 2 week break.
^We know.. We waited.
2 more weeks, blah. My xmas break is 2 weeks, so w/e.
Gonna be a bunch of bounties going up after this arc, Buggy'll finally be worth a dime.
@Deltron:

Looks like you need to change your troll rag there, chief. That one wasn't even original.
Anyway, on topic:
Any ideas on what role Jimbei will play, if any, in this arc? I found it kind of odd how Hancock didn't even react to his name being mentioned, since, if he shares some background with Tiger Fisher, the two may at least know each other, even if loosely. Considering those "Bullgory" or "Blue Glory" or whatever they are things are excellent swimmers, I guess I can see how they can keep them there, too.

man i cant beleve this after 2 weeks we have to wait 2 more this sucks this should have been like a tripled chapter.
Going by the OneManga version:
You don't know anything do you!? These guys have no blood or tears!
Sentoumaru robot clones ala the Kuma PX series confirmed, they even have the axes 
but yeah, nice chapter, another break next week, right?
Gonna be a bunch of bounties going up after this arc, Buggy'll finally be worth a dime.
If you ask me, Luffys and some of the SH's are probably already being reassessed after Moria and punching a Tenryuubito. Kuma and Kizaru also saw Monster Chopper, hopefully they'll consider that being worth a bit more than 50 Beri 
Hancock over reaction to what Luffy said are funny, but if you think about it how often did Luffy call others aside from his crew/nakama by name ? He gives every one he meets a "description" name Old guy, Ice guy, Acorn guy, etc.. . When he flat out states he owes her and calls her by her real name, well to me it looks like he already considers her his nakama. Nakama, but not necessarily crew, like Vivi and Ace are still considered nakama by Strawhats that got to know them, or Hachi that Luffy now calls a friend.
With that if she wants or if circumstances force her hand, Hancock has a free ticket to join Luffy as crew or traveling companion or whater. And yes I know there is reasons that that should not happend with her being Schibukai and status of her Island but wierder stuff has happend in One Piece.
Not really: the WG kept the Moria fiasco under their hats, and after punching the noble, the Straw Hats were "utterly defeated", or so the world thinks.
Also, heck yeah, Buggy! Can't wait to see what he does in this arc. I've been waiting for Buggy to come back for a while.

She actually did react to his name specifically, though that may have been just because he's a fellow Shichibukai.
Can you see it now?

I was confusing vigilant with something else and didn't bother to look it up, thanks. As for the bridge I see it now her hat leaning to one side and her hair just threw me off to not seeing it I guess….....

This is how you know the words been overused and lost all meaning if you think every chap is suppose to be epic or expect epicness to happen consecutively.

LOL "if any" my ass! Like Oda will have him sit in his cell the whole arc. I think Jinbei's gonna be the main reason all of the prisoners break out(after Luffy releases him).
She actually did react to his name specifically, though that may have been just because he's a fellow Shichibukai.
Or to Croc or to both of them. I'm pretty sure they all met before atleast once and the impression they made on her wasn't the typical "Your so beautiful Hancock!"

It looked to me that she didn't really react or anything.
I'm confused, did Luffy say Hancock's name or was it one of Hancock's daydreams again?
no lessOR I'm too lazy and uninspired to make a proper sig
I think Luffy say it correct
Buggy from Level One, right?
Translation from Carlos Net
I think this translation are better
I'm confused, did Luffy say Hancock's name or was it one of Hancock's daydreams again?
As I look back it was probably a daydream. There's quote bubbles of Luffy saying Hanmock and she wouldn't daydream that. Seems this love sickness nonsense involves delusions, hallucinations, and hopefully delirium, dementia, and sudden death.
It looked to me that she didn't really react or anything.
Hmmm then what does "….." mean? deep thought? no comment? does it just indicate the person is listening?
If the last one is right then does "....!" mean the person didn't give a fuck about what was being said until the last sentence and then reacted? lol
I thought she reacted.......
Zik Of The 7 Swords: Vision? What do you know about my vision? My vision would turn your world upside down, tear asunder your illusions, and send the sanctuary of your own ignorance crashing down around you. Now ask yourself, Are you ready to see that vision?
This is how you know the words been overused and lost all meaning if you think every chap is suppose to be epic or expect epicness to happen consecutively.
I don't use the word much, but it is overused. It just seemed it would be "epic" since lately, most previous chapters have been "epic".. (Oh God, I'm getting kinda tired of it myself) I'm not complaining though. I expected a less amazing chapter sooner or later.

"….." looks like it means that there's no reaction. It's just what it looks like to me, I don't want to start an arguement.

Nothing to argue over, I was asking since I'm not sure myself.

Luffy did say Hancock's name–he is not that stupid.
Proof:
Luffy: Okay! I Promise! Thank you so much, Hancock!
Luffy: I promised I wouldn't make a ruckus but you brought me into this!!

What he's trying to say/ask is if that was the daydream since in the next panel you can see two bubbles around her where she is being called "Hanmock" not to mention Luffy called her Hanmock before they left AL. So it would make sense and be funny…...

Just covering all my bases here, boss. I'm sure Jimbei will have some part in this arc, but the main focus right now seems to be on Buggy and Ace. Plus, we still have the Warden, this Mazelan guy, to introduce, and of course a Croc Cameo, so Jimbei's time to shine may not be this arc, but definitely will be the next (Gyojin Isle, finally)
I called it wrong, so long ago. I guess this needs to be changed.
but the main focus right now seems to be on Buggy and Ace.
Main focus on Ace, overall focus on the war, recent focus(last 2 chaps) on Buggy. Since Jinbei was mentioned during the part the was was still progressing he's guaranteed to get out of his cage and wreak havoc. W/e he does will probably directly hamper the war or the marines/WG in the long run. I don't know why but from his silhouette I got the impression he was very angry lol.
EDIT - Thanks again Kami_Sama I wouldn't know where to look if I was gonna look it up. It's a pretty detailed definition and description with good examples.
I do my scanlation with Carlos Net translation, just want to test this is my first scanlation
Buggy escape from Level One?
sorry if any wrong doing
Great chapter,I like the part when Buggy saw Luffy XD
The Color Spread is good but i didn't that it's just Luffy,Zoro,and Nami
Kamen Rider OOOs
The story gets better and better. Luffy and Buggy were bound to meet again.
I'm glad Luffy and Buggy have teamed up. I was thinking they'd fight but too much fighting will slow Luffy down, although I suppose there has to be atleast 1 awesome fight. I'm thinking he might get into a fight with Crocodile or something but with sea stone handcuffs on, Croc might not put up much of a fight. Luffy could fight Jinbei but I'm not sure if they'll even meet. If they do meet, I'm thinking it'll be because Luffy will release him from his cell. I want all the prisoners to be freed. That would make the situation even more hectic for the guards and WG.
amazing chapter, maybe one f my favourites ><
i can just see attacks coming up like Gomu gomu buggy carnival!
or other things like that or maybe a gomu gomu jet buggy punch ><
but my favourite panel out of the whole panel has to be the last one when both punch together,
and buggy has to be one of my favourite bad guys out there
Whats up with some people here? Calling other people dumb because of their postings, ok. Calling postings stupid because of missing arguments, ok.
But what's up with the trolling down of the intelligence talk? And without any reasons. Are the sweets of christmas eating up some people's brains? I don't know if this was the right place for the dicussion, but i think it was a very interesting point in looking at Luffy's thoughts and personality and the ones of other Shonen Heroes, like Naruto or Son Goku. It came up in the spoiler thread, so it was taken here too… perhaps not wise, but hey, its a great side-topic.
Don't know what some people are thinking... they should know better, well at least i think that when i look at their join date.
@Chapter:
I love it.
so next week is a double issue
what is that exactly?
2 chpters of 17-19 pages or 1 big chp of 38-40 pages?
-Haki is the same stuff on which is made the smoke creature from Lost-
nah, this week is a double issue and there is no updte next week, and in the double issue there arnt any extra chapters unfortunatly
so next week is a double issue

A double issue of Weekly Shonen Jump means it covers 2 weeks but contains the normal amount of chapters.

In that case I'm not sure. I'm not familiar with techniques used to define perspective in manga. Usually, a rather objective account is used to describe the events taking place. While it is possible that Oda was using perspective, I've never seen Oda use it before though (or any manga-ka, though I do speed-read and would not be aware of such instances). if that is the case Hancock misheard him, it was not a daydream since it clearly happened.
I have three interpretations for the panel:
Hancock is recalling previous times Luffy called her Hanmock (my original interpretation.)
Hancock misheard what Luffy said. Which now that I've thourougly analyzed the panels makes more sense.
Luffy mispronounced Hanmock. Also entirely possible.
In the end there is no clear answer and all interpretations are valid. I'd have to chalk it up to bad panel choreography (or whatever you call it) on Oda's part. Though generally speaking narrator perspective and unrealiable narrator techniques are rarely used in manga (with good reason, as seen here it only causes confusion).
tl;dr We have to wait until we see what Luffy calls Hancock in their next meeting to determine what happened. (In this entirely pointless gag panel.)
"So it goes." - Kurt Vonnegut
does anyone notic that on page 18 and 21 in the big panels, luffy ad buggy ar symmetrical, and those two have to be my fav panels
so next week is a double issue

2 chpters of 17-19 pages or 1 big chp of 38-40 pages?
niether
it's one chapter that lasts for two weeks
in other words, usually a weekly shonen jump issue is around for a week, than it's replaced. in this case, it's around for TWO weeks (hence the word double). It sort of sucks really hard considering we just had a break the week before 526… then I think there's ANOTHER double issue after 526... then like a 2-3 week yearly holiday break. It sucks big time.
nah, this week is a double issue and there is no updte next week, and in the double issue there arnt any extra chapters unfortunatly
So next week we are out of luck for any new chapters of anything on a weekly basis and then don't they get another week off or should we expect a chapter in 2 weeks time?
EDIT: Can someone clarify (Moria doesn't seem too sure about the breaks that Weekly Jump is taking, nice avatar btw) the breaks that Weekly Jump takes during this time of the year; I'd just like to be sure is all…
so next week there is jump but is same chit as this week
then the week next to it is no chp
that sucks!!
-Haki is the same stuff on which is made the smoke creature from Lost-
