Really didn't see anything to suggest Age Manipulation by Bonney: as I saw it, her legs were bent right in front of Zoro and the "little kid" part may suggest she may be younger than she looks. (or just looks young) Somehow could see her, though, being a good ally if Luffy's crew meet her again after this.
Chapter 499 "Sabaody Park" Discussion

Bylm – thanks for the speedy translation!
Hacci:My childhood dream has finally begun to realize. Merman or fishman, when they are young their dreams will be the same.
Brooke/Chopper/Pappag: How high!!Ha! Never thought I'd see a Rasta begging a friend not to get high …
Though this does raise an interesting point -- if the dream of every fish- and mer-person is to fly, then I can forsee the Strawhats winning their undying affection by doing something that will finally let them all fly (however briefly).
Bonney: If you're a pirate you should know the unspoken agreement between pirates!!? Are you trying to pull us down along with you?
Ah-ha! Time to pull out those Econ textbooks and have some fun with Game Theory. Zoro's just blown the equilibrium. How will the Supers cope with it. Will they continue to cooperate?
Sanji: Tell me where you are, stay there and wait for orders.
Chopper: Eh!! But -
Sanji: There're specialists in every area, and for this…!!
Sanji: Call in the Flying Fish Riders!In the spoiler thread, it didn't make sense that Sanji would call the Fish Riders without attempting to save Camie himself first – but now that we've got more context, it makes a lot more sense.
"Wait for orders" -- it sounds like he's got a strategy already, and that the Fish Riders are only a small part of it.
Excellent! I've been waiting for Oda to give him an opportunity to be a full-on strategist. Let's hope Sanji's first big set-piece doesn't disappoint.
EDIT : Hintscher -- good spot!

Zoro: Hey, where's the hospital?
Bonney: Hospital ?!
Zoro: I have to bring him there. He's been shot. Poor man, he will never reach the hospital.By the way: thanks BF and Blym

Thank you ever so much for the chapter. Wow, the spoilers yet again do not really represent how good a chapter is. A few points.
The spread showing the Sabaody Park. Normally I have a tendency to look at a spread page and go wow, and just move on. I actually stared at the artwork for a few minutes just to take in how much work he did on that page. My favorite parts of OP are the exploration parts where they show individual parts of the world. I just love it.
Slave traders look hilarious with the peter pan look. If you look carefully I don't think the pedobear thing was Peterman, it looked like he was another person although maybe I looked at it wrong.
Once again, Oda has made me hate the nobles. Awesome writing and I still can't believe how much I detest them.
Lastly, regarding Bonney and the possibility of an age-age fruit. If she has an ability like that one neat thing I think she could do would not just gain physical age but perhaps she could gain mental age to have knowledge of fighting skills. I think that sounded better in my head but hopefully you guys get what im getting at.

Oh my, that bastard noble walking with his sex slaves >_______<
I wonder for Robin and Nami, and if he's gonna buy camie
-
Zoro: Hey, where's the hospital?
Bonney: Hospital ?!
Zoro: I have to bring him there. He's been shot. Poor man, he will never reach the hospital.By the way: thanks BF and Blym
LMAO, I just notice he won't make it, lol, poor man:cwy::cwy:
ALSO, WHERE'S ROBIN AND NAMI, I MISS THEMMMMMMMMMM! I bet their gonna run into a noble, and Nami will smart mouth him, and Robin will probably clutch him, lmao, I bet their the ones that will start the fall of the nobles (I do hope the nobles will fall, knowing Oda, I bet the nobles wont last too long)
-
It seems that the Marine HQ is busy with something. I wonder if it has anything to do with Absalom/Hogback's comments about the World Government using Ace as a card to "turn the pirate era over."
-
Why wont the shot man survive now?
Zoro wanting to take the man to the hospital shows how different the strawhats are from other pirates I suppose.
-
Thanks appreciated =P
I've been looking for a suitable translation for the Noble's name. It's uncommon. Really uncommon. I think its possibly a weird translation of either Charles or Carlos (which is the more likely option)
That or some strange name I've never heard before.
-
Pretty sweet about the roller coaster is that the fact it is made on the supports of just bubbles you could imagine that they could change the design/course of the rollercoaster like every day/week or something
Curious on what they did on the tea cups. Did they spin them too fast or something and break them. Cause the guy is pissed and there is smoke. Oh and about the mermaid/fishman and flying the could just coup de burst their ship for em.
And man I am curious in how all this slave trading/pirate abuse stuff is gonna be like on TV. I mean man those nobles are pretty rough. This is kind of reminding me of Water 7. There we had franky family kind of underground boss stuff. ANd now we have these slave trader guys and stuff. And hey look a former boss is helping htem out again. Flying Fish = Franky Family. And no they aren't gonna join.

There's a variety of pirates, I wouldn't consider them all that unique even from what we've seen (such as a lot of the crews on Thriller Bark.) Some aren't (maybe most) willing to help while others are.
-
The way Bonnie talked about how surpised she was that he helped. It makes it sem taht strawhats are exception. Not saying all pirates are bad, but the other pirates that may not do anything bad against civilians also don't even bother with them.
Like example in this chapter, they ain't gonna hurt innocent civ's but they also see no reason to help them unless beneficial to themselves most likely. Kind of like how Nami was gonna help Vivi for a reward.
-
Is the new nobel the son of Rosward an the brother of Shaluria?
-
Reminds me of the concept of "Peace Mains" and "Morraganeers" out of Romance Dawn. I'm always susprised that theme doesnt come back up in One Piece. Pirates who sail for adventure and steal from morangeers, then morraganeers who prey on innocent civilians.
-
Nobody's seen that ?!
Shakky: Be careful! The marines aren't vegetarians (as opposed to blood-thirsty), they clearly know about the Supernovas docking in the mangrove.
Brooke: If…If that is so, we can get attacked any moment?
Shakky: Indeed, but it's okay. This might be the Supernovas lucky break.
Shakky: As of now, Marine HQ's presence is not there, I believe they are dealing with other matters.
Hacci: ?
Shakky: As long as nothing big stirs up, the marine's main force will not come this way. Hence we should be careful not to create trouble.Whitebeard is moving !
-
Love this chapter.
The little details in the amusement park, Pappag getting converted to the Dark Side (look! he stops whining about looking for Rayleigh already), somebody saying, "The view is…" before screaming all the way down. Not to mention lots of supernova interaction here. as well as tidbits that may very well go on to develop significant plot lines.
Yes, the new noble is the son of Rosward and Shaluria's brother, as Brook Skull asks.
It's kinda late here...its 2:30 AM so I'm gonna sleep. Catch you guys later.
-
Someone already mentioned something about Whitebeard appearing in Chapter 500, in my opinion, that would make sense. He surely will try to save Ace and for that he maybe has to pass Shabondy. And Shakky said something about the marine not being around at the moment, or at least they got other things to do … maybe they are aware of Whitebeard, coming near Shabondy.
-
Hawkins: Being resuced is a given…
Hawkins: But I do not see death in his future.
this is still making me think that Hawkins can see the future or at least sense the flow of peoples futuresmaybe he has a df fruit as well as bonney

How long have you been reading One Piece?
For that matter can't you see Zoro walking off in a random direction despite the doctors pointing him towards the hospital…?

@Tokoro:

(or just looks young) Somehow could see her, though, being a good ally if Luffy's crew meet her again after this.
If you look carefully, her arms have shrunken and her coat is missing.
Also, Zoro made me cry many manly tears.
Edit: Maybe the fact that Bonney can eat whatever she likes hints at a cell manipulation power. Probably playing on the fact that the real pirate Bonney was disguised as a man sometimes (I think)?
-

Hahaha, I just now realized the pun in the World Government using Ace as a "trump card".
-
it was worth the wait just to see luffy and brook and chopper recovering from the spinning ride.
jewelry saving zoro was pretty fly too.
thanks, bf!!! (patiently waiting for japanese version)
-
…I prefered 'Shabondy'.
anyway, this means that nobles can kill random people, and rape... 'scuse me, marry whoever they want to. this stopped being funny.
also, I'm not sure how I feel about supernovas turning into strawhat's fanboys (and one fangirl).
EDIT: I'm all for whitebeard/shanks/ace appearing in chapter 500. actually, I want a fullscale naval battle between all admirals and the whitebeard/shanks crews (assuming they joined forces, you never know with those pirates). we have to celebrate in style :D
-
Are there still no scanlations yet?:blink:
-
Dang.Have to wait for OPManga v. 2 to rip it .
-
What a beautiful chapter. I can't wait to read it.
-
hmmm… maybe Sabaody is called that because of the portuguese word "sabão"? (sabão = soap = shabon)
-
By jove,I think you may something there,Watson !
-
Interesting chapter. I'm most interested in the "mer/fishmen can be sold even if they aren't criminals." Maybe the boss of thees kidnappers is a noble? Maybe this conflict will lead the SHs into a direct conflict with the nobles?
-
3/19 of the chapter are good.
-
hmmm… maybe Sabaody is called that because of the portuguese word "sabão"? (sabão = soap = shabon)
You are most likely correct, everyone hear this man out. That would mean it's still pronounced "Sabon", though "Shabon" is acceptable.
-
What's the Maxim doing in the amusement park? (page 9)
(before anyone says anything I'm not serious)
-
Like THAT will stop them .
-
Chapter 500 will have Sogeking leading the flying fish riders.
Anyway, Sogeking's the only one who can save the day and beat down those nobles.
-
Cause they won't have a person to go after?Seriously,someone is bound to notice some day.
-
I love how the Strawhats reputation is a crew filled with weird people.
Anyway, the most interesting thing in this chapter is what Shakky said about the HQ. If you guys are lucky something big may happen in 500 going by that.

exactly about shakky statement. I'm not sure why so many people think these are pointless chapters. This all in this Chapter
1. Shakky mentions most Marine force somewhere else (RedHair/Whitebeard incident, or maybe something Dragon doing)
2. Find out Mermaid/Fishman seem to want to be up high/fly.
3. Even Supernova's shy away from the Nobles
4. Bringing back some Duval.
5. Noble info
a) Noble bringing the nurse to Dock 1 (Zoro's final destination)
b) they have multiple wives6. And then plenty of knee slapping comedy.
a) peter pan wannabes
b) Brook pukes, and they break the tea pot ride
c) Zoro asks someone if they need directionsAnd I must say I dont' even think I would need a flashback to want to see the Nobles get their ass handed to them so bad. They are doing a great job real time making me hate them as much as I did Spanda
-
Speaking of this shakky statement, how great would it be if it really was Whitebeard/Red Hair or something like that?
Imagine the Nobles trying to call an Admiral for help, only to get an "I'm busy!" because they're dealing with something "more important" (whitebeard/red hair. If they don't take priority to saving the nobles then nothing does). That'd be nice if it happened.
-

-_-. It introduces the differences of the strawhats to this new group of pirates.
sheesh
-
Weren't there ppl crying about Duval's arc being a filler? Guess not with the Flying Fish Riders having a role in this arc.
-

Nope you will never win that argument. They will just come back and say. "well they didn't need to meet Camie, or Duval and just head straight into the New World" "shabandy is all filler just like skypiea ect."
You can never please some of these complainers. I learned to just enjoy One Piece because I like it, and don't give a shit what others hate.
-
Yes.No matter how much info on the world and relations and strong people,etc.,they will call EVERYTHING which doesnt have A:A shichibukai,B:An Admiral,C:A yonkou or D:A bounty raise as "filler" (insulting the manga by aplicating an anime only device).

Wiser words never spoken.

Page 9, top right panel. There's a young arlong on the right! He wanted to go to Shabondy Park too!

Yeah, I noticed that too! Pretty awesome.
-
Maybe that's why he created Arlong Park - a place for fishmen above the ocean?
-
damn no japanese scan yet. :( anyways heres to whitebeard hopefully appearing next chapter. i'm going to try my hardest not to read the spoilers next week.
-
I don't see arlong in the picture
EDIT: I looked again and I think I see him, along with chuu and kuroobi (what ever his third subordinate is named)

Japanese RAW is finally out, thanks to Sai_the_Shaman:
