Probably showed the wings off to give us a hint on how he sneaked into the Shichibukai meeting and since it looked badass for the BB crew on ID reveal panel.

The Shichibukai will be disbanded because of Blackbeard's treachery.

great chapter!
And I really like those theories in here:
a) BB is recruiting somebody (Shiryuu is possible, since he is sentenced to death)
b) The Ship braught by BB will be just by Luffy for his way to Marineford
c) Hannyabal is going to be pirate (He is a perfect character for a cover story)I thought about predicting what could possible happen next, but then BB appeared suddently out of nowhere and told me, that Oda is unpredictable.

The Shichibukai will be disbanded because of Blackbeard's treachery.
or a collection of all the things the shichi do.
1. crocodile incident
2. jimbei's current refusal to partake, plus his retaliation now
3. blackbeard's current state
4. luffy beating moria
5. kuma (whats his deal, is he a dragon spy or something. plus his whole saving strawhats both times now)
6. hancock (though nothing known of yet, i'm sure to come)To me it doesn't sound like much of a group of people you can really trust and are loosing face in the world's eyes as well
-

They can't they need the shichibukai to keep the balance
the marines are not enough for the Wg to keep the level of order they have now without them this could go very badly for the WG

Probably a few hours after cnet's translation is out. Since that's the translation that scanlaters seem to use alot.
-
Oh snap, Hannyabal is gonna be a pirate!?
Adding to this theory, I bet he'll be first mate in his crew.

based on all the stuff we have seen do you really think they believe that the shichi are helping balance.
kuma let the strawhats escape when tenryuubito wanted them. blackbeard is doing something right now that most likely won't be good. hancock will most likely swap sides when luffy arrives. crocodile already made a bad name for WG by his actions in Arabasta. Jimbei rampaging and all, plus currently going to go against now with luffy.
Hell if i were WG I would disband them because then won't have to worry about being fucked over by them all the time. I mean look at just this one event here (the WB WG war). Hancock helped luffy into impel down, Jimbei rampaged before and now helping luffy now. Blackbeard's current situation. Kuma sending the strawhats away instead of capture.
That's 4 people who screwed up sengoku's plans big time during just this one little war incident. Oh wait it isn't a little war incident it it the biggest thing to ever happen and over half the shichibukai are doing things that are totatlly messing up their plans, plus an extra ex-shichibukai.
some world balance, to me it seems like they are hurting more than helping the WG.
-
The Shichibukai should be disbanded after this. Their invovlement has been a total clusterfuck for the WG.
-Crocodile planning to revive Pluton
-Kuma on two seperate occasions let the SH go (Zoro on TB and teleporting the crew on SA)
-Moria plans to be Pirate King
-Don Flamingo wants to be a part of the New Pirate Age.
-Hancock helped Luffy go into ID, probably help him when he gets to MHQ.
-Jinbei revolted when he heard about the WB war and is now helping Luffy.
-Blackbeard leaving the War to invade IDBlackbeard, Jinbei, Hancock, Crocodile, and Kuma have all basically turned screwed over the WG at around the same time with things that hindered the WG vs. WB war. If anything this has basically shown the WG that they can't control them at all.
-
@Don:
than were else should the marine bring such dangerous pirates?
they have to be escaped cause kizaru went to the SH and so they had a chance…but what marine would do that?..okay kizaru was alone and he don`t care but marines should have arrived to the point kizaru leaves the scene...weird:blink:Probably Mariejoa or Marineford or whatever place they use for temporary detention. It was already stated that they didn't have the papers ready to deal with the pirates he captured, so there is no reason to believe that they have been moved yet.
-
Kuma getting completed by Vegapunk (I think he will be fully controled by the gov and they already have an army of kuma bots which work)
Flamingo maybe doing his own things but yet to do anything major
Blackbeard seems to have known luffy was their and from the translation seems like he their to deal with luffy (probably collect new members but capturing luffy will make the gov forgive him)
Jembei i think he has to join SH
Hancock has to be a shichibukai or they rampage her village (shes done whats shes done but won't go against them again)Yes theres weakness
but as former pirates the shichibukai provide a great roll in attacking pirates in their secret spots

It seems interesting to me how Black Beard is playing his cards. Really clever strategy. He is obviously avoiding the clash with WB by traveling from Marine HQ to Impel Down. This way while WB fights it out with the Marines, losing or at least weakening his forces, BB will recruit new strong Nakama from the prison (I doubt he has any other interests in the gaol). Which brings him one step closer to his ultimate goal (Pirate King if I remember correctly). He is practically using Luffy and Ace (Luffy creating a mess in Impel Down, allowing BB to intrude and Ace as bait for WB, in order to weaken him). By doing so he is also weakening the Marine forces (from the presumed clash with WB). I doub't this has been his strategy from the start because he couln't have accounted for Luffy's actions or the chance of running into Ace and the aftermath, so he is improvising on the move seemingly very successfully. I like how Oda is building up this character. Of course only in case I'm right, that is. But it seams logical. What do you say?
-
After looking through the raw, this chapter does not seem as great… And I almost never say there's an unsetting chapter. This makes me curious to what is the big finale in ID.
Maybe I'll wait for the scanlation.
-
Lol, Sadi sort of has an Eneru face at the end of the chapter but it still doesn't show her eyes and she doesn't have the snot.
-
Guh. Ace just looking at the seagulls and the sky sort of broke my heart. ;; Also Sadi-chan you crack my shit up, I love you. XD
-
hmm is shiryu the swordsman in BB's crew?? Will he take that spot, the one that zoro might have to fight against???
-
SQUEEEEE
Awwwww~ the little faces are so cute~! Girly squeal
-
Good god… what a fun chapter! I had a grin on my face through the entire thing. It was sort of directed towards a certain group of people... luckily I fit in that group. I'm a bit of a sucker for a group of badasses running around just fucking shit up. Blackbeard was awesome too. This situation just keeps getting better. I really can't wait to read the upcoming chapters. We'll probably see Magellan vs. Luffy soon.
Also, Sadi wasn't hit at the end of the chapter. She was just freaking out. Think she'll end up doing anything?
-
The most character development we're getting from BB is his beard growing, but i'm not complaining. He also seemed to have slimmed down a bit. So I say it now, Shiryuu for BB nakama!!!!
-
Good chapter, what happened to Saldeath?
-
Also, Sadi wasn't hit at the end of the chapter. She was just freaking out. Think she'll end up doing anything?
I dunno. Thier(Sadi and Seldeath) jobs in ID seems to be only ordering the creatures of ID. Blugori are just strong enough to handle weaker prisoneers and gather ID's food supply and the Demon Gaurds only proffession seems to be torturing prisioneers rather than fight stong ones head to head. Other than that, I think they are just currently buying time. Dissapointing, but it makes sense.
Also, this chapter revealed somethin cool. Jimbei says he's using very little power. When he reaches the sea, he could end up overshadowing everbody…..
-
Shiryuu of the rain….
!
Huh? Huh!? HUH!?!?!?!?!
-
Yeah I've been waiting to see Jimbei in the water for a while now. Arlong was crazy powerful underwater back then (remember that technique where he took a handful of water and slapped Zoro and Sanji and it inflicted a TON of damage?). Would love to see Jimbei use some of the techniques that the fishmen back at Arlong Park were using. I loved the wave of nostalgia I got from seeing Jimbei use some enhanced attacks that Kuroobi used.
It's a shame that Sadi and Saldeath have really done nothing in this arc. I don't even know why they were introduced. Waste of a good design.
-
So, with Blackbeard renegading on the WG, and Luffy, Jimbei, and Crocodile wreaking havoc on Impel Down, the WG has lost much of its power. Not only are they diving their attention, but the Schichibukai/WG coalition seems to be about to break down. Plus I'm still expecting Dragon to get involved at some point.
So with the WG and WB weakened, Blackbeard is setting himself up to be WB's replacement yonkou if he gets defeated by enlarging his crew. Just as Shanks predicted.
Quite an unexpected chapter.

They got general zombie syndrome :D
Oh and awesome chapter. For all those saying that this is nothing but mindless chaos, why not wait until after the arc ends where we can see the bigger picture? that's why i enjoyed the plot twist so much myself, because I BELIEVE enough in Mr. Oda to know that it'll make sense in the end.
-
FUCKING EPIC!!!!!!!!!
i just read it and I about pissed my pants too awesome…..
Oda's unpredictability astonishes me I'm in love
-
Epic chapter is epic.
And to Crossword, trust in Oda,bro.
Believe me, he will make so that Luffy ends fighting Magellan one on one, nothing about that will change,you will see Luffy having difficulties winning.And because of this chapter, I decide to change my Avatar and Sign.
FUCKYEAH!!!
-
This is getting to a point where Oda has so much to show from trillions of charachters at the same time, that one chapter is not even remotely enough.
-
I haven't read through the thread and I suppose it has been mentioned, but since when do Lafitte have wings? :O
-
Wow. BlackBeard just showed up and started fucking things up for god only knows why!!!
And shiryuu's intro into the fray was badass personified!
Croc continues to be the ultimate, but, c'mon…it's CROC! I expect it at this point.
Luffy almost seems tame by comparison.Also, it's a children's comic from Japan.
Why are you comparing it to cultural engravings and burritos.
-
I guess that's how Lafitte infiltrated the Marine Headquarters in vol 25…
and I must say, Crocodile kicks ass in this chapter ^^
-
@Ao:
Wow. BlackBeard just showed up and started fucking things up for god only knows why!!!
Why too fight against the man he had sought to beat in the first place the exact opposite of him MONKEY D. LUFFY!!!!!!!
i say opposite because luffy's pure good i think he's pure evil and they have exact opposite opinions (in food at least)
-
Epic chapter is epic.
And to Crossword, trust in Oda,bro.
Believe me, he will make so that Luffy ends fighting Magellan one on one, nothing about that will change,you will see Luffy having difficulties winning.Yup, Luffy vs Magellan will be the deciding fight in Impel Down. No doubt about it.
I only wonder though how Luffy will defeat Magellan without getting poisoned again. There are basically two options I can think of.
Will he somehow have become resistant against poison- perhaps even become completely immune- or will he learn to attack without touching his opponent like Jinbei demonstrated?As for Blackbeard, I'd say he's there to get a couple of those level sixers Ivankow named in 538 to augment his crew. He wouldn't bother with fodder from the first five levels. And I've got a feeling that Shiryuu will join his crew. Blackbeard's crew is the evil mirror of the Strawhats, but they still lack a real swordsman to be Zoro's opponent. Shiryuu would fit the job description.
-
Magellan: You're on death row, I'm only delaying your sentance. This is your last chance!
Shiryuu: Oh, yeah… Makes me wanna puke. [[Note: Not entirely sure about this one, someone please calrify.]]
Looks like someone isn't happy with their death row sentence.
No, the translation is wrong.
肝に銘じる, literally "I'll tell my liver", is a Japanese phrase that means to keep something in mind strongly. It's used when something important happens, and you need to remind yourself of it.
He's telling Magellan that he'll be sure to keep his warning in mind. -

-
But that was definatly said with a sarcastic tone i guarentee for it considering Shiryuu´s personality. The Chapter in itself was again the epitome of awesome i have no idea how he can get better and better but i sure hope Oda doesn´t stop at it :p.
-
Does anyone wonder how big a fight BB can get into while inside Impel Down? Pretty much a whole island was destroyed when he fought Ace. And if he is forced to go all out, what does that mean for everyone who is stuck inside Impel Down when it is destroyed?
-
No, the translation is wrong.

He's telling Magellan that he'll be sure to keep his warning in mind.Thanks for clearing that up. I had a feeling that part was way off. :cwy:
-

Believe me, he will make so that Luffy ends fighting Magellan one on one, nothing about that will change,you will see Luffy having difficulties winning.Nah, it's cool man. I fully expect and look forward to Luffy's rematch with Magallen. My only concerns are that this arc is turning into a giantic brawl with no end in sight. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Oda raises Gold Roger's decomposed body from the grave and has it join the fray.
Anyway, I have a feeling that out of everyone who makes it out of Impel Down, which I dont' expect to be too much, not all of them are going to go to Marineford. I can imagine the group getting separated and having to split up in their escape. Luffy, and Jimbei are most certainly going to end up at Marineford, and I bet Buggy will too because of how Ace was his party-buddy and it would be funny if he runs into his crew there, and I guess by extension Mr. 3 and the rest of Baroque Works. I expect the actions of Magellan, Shiryuu, and Blackbeard will end up weeding out the fodder from their ranks, and the big players to move on.
-
Magellan: You're on death row, I'm only delaying your sentance. This is your last chance! I don't understand that phrase. Did this mean, Shiryuu gets a chance and If he beats up BB he That he is acquitted or has Chnace back in the ID to be able to work again as Head Goaler?
Or does it mean that its execution is completed, no matter what he does and he was only a little more "life", through his release if he helps Magellan?The second one would not bo a motivation for Shiryyu and it's unwise of Magellan … Strategically failure to recognize Shiryuu, that he has nothing to lose!
-
I love the way Impel Down is playing out
When the arc first started we expected the usual vs matches, taking down strong enemies one by one etc etc
But this is just one huge all out brawl, it's fantastic!
Arghhhh -

ArghhhhI know i don't think anyone expected it to turn out like this so excited
and question is luffy now stronger since iva did the hormones thing…. not the energy one she did to mr.2 also but the one where she aged him
Member of Beelzebub is Freakin' Awesome Group
what I'm catching up on currently: Gintama, lone wolf & cub, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, and lost in poem (by our very own AP member GEPPETTOSMONSTER)
-
Didn't know that luffy actually got aged, looks like I'll have to reread that chapter.
Anyway, I think BB is going to very well in the character tournament now that ch 542 is out.
-
Nah, it's cool man. I fully expect and look forward to Luffy's rematch with Magallen. My only concerns are that this arc is turning into a giantic brawl with no end in sight. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Oda raises Gold Roger's decomposed body from the grave and has it join the fray.
I agree! But unlike you, I am excited about it. This arc was playing out to predictably for me.
Also, it's a children's comic from Japan.
Why are you comparing it to cultural engravings and burritos.

I swear that that wink is out of one of the "American Pie" movies. The one with the prison gang and new school.
