…Buggy explained level 6 this way: "a floor where they keep the kind of monsters who were so evil they've been erased from the face of history altogether". It doesn't seem to apply to Ace or Jimbei at all. Whatever is in level 6 will be way more dangerous and unexpected than Ace and Jimbei....
Actually I thought Buggy was talking about some kind of nasty animals,
that were kept there, since in freedom they were way too dangerous.
You think he could be talking about humans?
Persons that were so sick in the head or dangerous for the WG that they had to be thrown into the darkest pit,
so they'd never see the sunlight again?
If yes I'm EXPECTING one of them to make an appearance, and get out thanks to the jail break. A Must-See

This is called indirectly talking to one person.
The highlight of this chapter is without a oubt he Buggy/Mr3 secret pact.

Thx for the clarification.
As for the chapter i was quite amused by the sphynx. I must say that this monster is really cool lol. A lot of laugh though. But waht i found interesting is the fact that jimbei is hoping for a chance : "Jimbei: …...I haven't given up hope just yet... I'm still believing... hoping... // ...for a "miracle"... a "chance"...!!!" lol and luffy is coming through the floor to level 3 with a dumb sphynx :) WB can die. Luffy's time to shine is coming.
Luffy better be riding the Sphinx around in the next chapter or I will be very disappointed..
Anyone thinking to possibillity shanks is near death from his "little" whitebeard encounter or did they work it out and the WG/Marines have to brawk against 2 yonkou

I'm currently undecided whether that is awesome or not.
It'd have to be executed well though.
Ah yep, more things pointing towards ID being modeled after Dante's Inferno.
They seem to be blowing by these levels pretty fast. Since Greg reported that the Impel Down arc is 'prolly going to last the entire year, I wonder if the jailbreakers are going to emerge from Impel Down only to see the war between WB and WG already in progress and have that eat up a volume or two.

I think they just clashed swords and went about their business afterwards….

Yeah I was just about to say that at this pace we should hit level five in another 2 weeks.

Sorry but I'm not going to waste my time learning a new language so I could read raw japanese material.
People like that are commonly called:"Weeaboos" or "Wapanese".
Derp.
Boo, I was hoping to see a Kurei cameo at the end of the chapter. No such luck. Oh well, Crocodile being his usual asshole self is always amusing, and it was nice to see both Buggy and Mr. 3 contributing to the "good fight". At least we'll (probably) have Kurei joining the band next chapter, and then Daz to follow shortly.
Overall, a good chapter, even if nothing really happened except the trio blazing through Level 2.

The point is, quit your bitching.
On-topic: Ace is going to burn Bon-chan's clothes off.
wait
Chapter out at OM!!!
I hate it when people who put the text into the bubbles don't even bother to fix typoes/spelling mistakes …
do you think those 3 prisoners are giants or just really big men?
Ah yep, more things pointing towards ID being modeled after Dante's Inferno.
How so? It certainly has a hell theme of course, but I don't see anything that matches Dante's version of hell. The only thing I can think of is the various layers, which are a common element in depictions of hell, and at any rate the number of levels in Impel Down doesn't match Dante's 9.

It's also possible that Luffy's pace will slow down a lot the lower he goes, as things get more and more challanging.
are the emperors really that equal? whitebeard and his crew seems to me like they are definitely the strongest of them all. i think the main reason why they don't fight among themselves is because there would be real heavy losses on both sides if they fought each other. i wonder how the distribution of territory is like though. how many paths is there in the new world? is there 4 and the emperors control 1 path each? if that's the case then luffy will probably end up going through whitebeards path or perhaps kaidou's path and end up fighting him at some point. if i had to guess it would be kaidous path so luffy would have an enemy to fight at some point. blackbeard will probably take over whitebeards territory if whitebeard is killed.
@kuma:

Looks like a giant with two super big men.
You can tell because there's cages in front of them that are much smaller, and you can see the other human-sized prisoners in them.
Finally, scans are here. Checkout onemanga.
If ace was beat up by jinbei, does this happen before he ate DF or not. Or jinbe have haki too, which can damage logia user.
Crocodile lookin fine. But putting him with the temporary SH..!!! Reject!!!
Another poke at Fishman Island. When will you show us Oda??
Finally to lvl 3. Mr.2 to the rescue!!! (I hope)
!
! Anyone think the big giant on the left looks like Saul? Even though he's dead?
I thought so too. While I don't see what the point of him being there would be (plus I can't imagine him jeering anyone like that), after the self-censoring on Shabondy I really wouldn't put it past Oda to pull something like that.
Saul never died.
Besides that… can someone retranslate the first 2 pages? I read carlos script, but I really cant grasp what's it saying...
Wow, look's like there really is a super big prison for giants. And I thought the marines back at impel down were just BS-ing Oimo and Kashi
WB must have taken down giant's pirates. Explains why they're furios at him.
As I think about it, giants are all talk but no show. They live almost 300 years, strength of a 1000 man, have superpowered weapons, but never reach the end of grandline. Yet that feat was done by a "mere" human goes by the name of roger.

Jinbei says some thing about ace got status to travel around the world doing his business w/c is obviously hunting BB, my theory is that each div of wb crew has a designated task.
First Div. (marco)- On WB main ship, like his right hand or secretary or something
2nd Div (ace)- Division who performs missions such as assasination, man hunt, messengers, etc.
3rd div (Jozu)- Warrior on WB main ship.
4th div. - I wonder if thatch was already replaced. Maybe another force on the main ship
5th div - 16th div my theory on their task are
1. they are scattered around the new world defending white beard's territory. I guess two or three of them are in the fishmen island.
2. Medicine
3. weapons development
4. archaeology branch
etc…
Man, Mr. 3 vs. the Sphinx gave me some really wonderful nostalgia. I hope the Sphinx continues on in level 3. Him and Luffy seem to have a good thing going on.
MOOOOREE FOOOR MEYYYEEE THEEORRYY~!! :silly:
Ooooo… the sixth floor. I have a feeling that Luffy will get to the fifth floor, run into Hancock there, free Ace and Jinbei, and then somehow manage to accidentally knock himself, his ragtag gang, Hancock, Ace, Jinbei, and Crocodile into the sixth level and we get to meet something horrifically nasty. I got goosebumps (good ones!) just thinking about it.
I think this shows that Ace and co. are on the fifth level. It also shows despite the respect and fear Whitebeard gets he isn't loved by all and many would love the chance to take him out. I could see a few pirate crews temporarily working with the government to ensure that he falls. And fall he will, I'd say. I doubt that help will arrive for him, as the other Emperors would probably love to add his domain to their own (except for Shanks, who probably realizes that the era of Whitebeard and his ilk is over and has already bet the future on Luffy). Croc is a new element; I expect several of the Warlords to turn against the World Government after this (Hancock, Jinbei, maybe Blackbeard) and he may use this to be reinstated. No matter what happens there's an undercurrent in this arc that the world is about to go to hell and no one can stop it.
Does cnet's translation talk about whitebeard's father? or am I wrong?
I can see it now SH second division all-stars: Luffy,Buggy, mr.3, bon kurei, daz bones, croc, hancock, ace, jinbei for colorspreads!!!.
Yes I agree, Ace and Jimbei are definitely on the 5th floor
Wouldn't it be cool if the prisoners shouting were previous Yonkous who lost to Roger or Whitebeard?
I just came up with an amazingly amazing theory. The Sphinx will escape with Luffy and a few select others, and they will use it to fly to Saboady. Or somewhere.
Edit: LMAO!! Zkaiser, remember when I kind of made an ass of you by showing you we could count with the whole "Levels 1-5" business? HAHAHA, well it bit me in the ass on page 9. Hehe, oh well.@Kiavik:

I am equally confused. I think it was meant to say "Thanks to your old man Whitebeard." and not "Thanks to Whitebeard's old man."
the original phrase is this:
全て白ひげのオヤジさんのお蔭じゃからのう。。。
somebody care to translate?
hey i just thought of something. crocodile can suck the fluids from peoples body with his devil fruit right? could he also suck the poison from somebodies body with his fruit? at some point magellan will poison people and crocodile might be the only one that can save them. i'm thinking that luffy will end up getting poisoned after defeating magellan in floor 6 and crocodile might end up saving luffy as a thanks for letting him out or will have a change of heart after witnessing luffy fight.
Edit: LMAO!! Zkaiser, remember when I kind of made an ass of you by showing you we could count with the whole "Levels 1-5" business? HAHAHA, well it bit me in the ass on page 9. Hehe, oh well.
Well, we were both wrong. Oda tripped us up by having Levels 3 & 4 on the same tier.
@smurfx:
Or will have a change of heart after witnessing luffy fight.
No. Croc's heart will not change.
I love the way Oda re-introduced Crocodile… he's still as evil as ever. Now I'm thinking that it is even more likely Whitebeard will die, just because of the fact that Fishmen Island will become hectic again and that's the next destination for the SHs (a hectic Fishmen Island makes a great arc). And Jimbei and Ace once faught... and they were as strong as each other... that shows the power of Whitebeard, if his second division commander could duel equally with the likes of Shichibukai Jimbei.
One thing I LOVE about this arc is the fact that the rest of the SHs are not in it. Having an arc with Luffy on his own is a great breath of fresh air, and develops him more as a character. Not to mention that we're in for one epic reunion!
Well, we were both wrong. Oda tripped us up by having Levels 3 & 4 on the same tier.
No. Croc's heart will not change.
i'm not saying he will become good but who knows what's in crocodiles past. i've always theorized that he was a member on gold rogers crew and luffy might end up reminding him of roger and he will save luffy for that very reason. that or maybe buggy will end up convincing him to save luffy since they were old crew members.
Great chap as expected after being spoiled.
From what Jinbei has said he seems dedicated to Fishman island and he even recognizes as a shichibukai he couldn't protect it himself. How do you "Jinbei 4 Nakama!" supporters get around that? I recall someone theorizing Luffy makes Fishman island his territory and I'm sorry but even if he manages to break everyone out of ID, beat an admiral and escape there'll still be a bunch of pirates in the NW who don't give a fuck about what a rookie says. Even if some pirates obey and flee due to fear the moment Luffy leaves, Fishman island might as well be called slave trade island.
Anyway hopefully these prison guards catch on to Luffy n co. releasing prisoner after prisoner on each floor. I like the running gag of every prisoner(former enemy) of Luffy's planning on leaving him for dead and not wanting to have anything to do with saving Ace. funny thing is when things are done there'll probably get partial credit after (if)Luffy succeeds. I don't think Mr. 2 or 1 will act like that tho, so maybe we might find another funny enemy from the past.
I guess the sphinx will be knocked out next chap? cuz that plus w/e is on lvl 3 won't be good for Luffy n co. unless they quickly release another prisoner that can help. Luffy's regular attacks really aren't working as much smh. We might see him really struggle on lvl 3 unless Oda's makes up some comical way for them to get to lvl 4.
Also again, I don't think merman exist anymore and if they do, they must be rare as hell. Merman for strawhat.
I can't say its strange or that merman are rare ye cuz it took so long for him to show us a mermaid and some ppl didnt believe there were fishwoman until the cover story. There probably will be merman Im expecting Aquaman look alike gullible types and one exception that looks like Namor/Captain Nemo/Ishmail that's unusally badass for mermen.

I think Crocodile would be more likely to use his power to kill the people Luffy loves in front of him. And then some kittens. And a turtle. And then laugh about it.
Oh, and I have now warmed to the idea of Mr. 3 joining Buggy's crew.
Oh, and I have now warmed to the idea of Mr. 3 joining Buggy's crew.
If Mr. 2 joins as well Buggy will actually have a very capable and dare I say strong crew if you add in Alvida. I'd guess Mr. 2 is stronger than him too…..

I have to disagree. For one thing, it sounds too much like the Gotei 13 in Bleach. Additionally, it was stated that Ace was going around to hunt BB because BB was his subordinate, not because the 3rd division is designated for such tasks.
I do agree that certain divisions are stationed in different areas though. It makes sense considering WB apparently has territories, and I assume a division or group of divisions keep watch on certain territories.
@Zik:

Get around what, exactly? His Pirate-hating Pirate sentence makes me think he has an even greater chance of being a Strawhat. The Strawhats sound very much like a combination of Roger Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates "in the making". Dude is gonna get starry eyed (just like we will) when Luffy makes a badass comment about protecting his friends or protecting something and then OHKO-ing someone. Will probably say, "Fisher Tiger reborn as a human? With Whitebeard's blesing!?"
the original phrase is this:
全て白ひげのオヤジさんのお蔭じゃからのう。。。

Yeah, like brennen thought, it should be "thanks to old man Whitebeard" (or something more natural sounding in English than that).
This arc is driving me nuts, absolute amazing chapter.
-WB is the boss, i guess the only reason he isn't PK is the missing OP
I thought he wanted to protect Fishman Island because it was his homeland, and as a result he has a debt of gratitude to Whitebeard for protecting Fishman Island.
OK, my wild long-term predictions: Whitebeard will die in the war and the chaos which Jimbei predicts will result from Whitebeard's death will begin. Luffy will do something absurdly impressive that will skyrocket his reputation even more (freeing Ace, destroying Impel Down, beating an adimiral or other strong person, etc). After Luffy reunites with his crew and ship and things settle down again, they move on to Fishman Island, which is in chaos due to Whitebeard's protection being gone now. Luffy will see this, become enraged, and declare Fishman Island his territory, and due to his new super-reputation pirates will leave Fishman Island alone again (or alternatively, Luffy beats some or all of the rampaging pirates and then things quiet down). This will then set up Luffy as beginning to take Whitebeard's place as he enters the New World.
This could tie into Jimbei becoming the next crewmaker (which I personally don't think will happen, but I like speculating on stuff): If Whitebeard dies and Fishman Island becomes chaotic again, Jimbei's dream could be to restore peace to it and/or all the other places that would suffer without Whitebeard's protection. This would give him a reason to accompany Luffy, as Luffy could prove to Jimbei during the events of Impel Down that he is the only person with the potential to take Whitebeard's place and protect Fishman Island (although in this case Luffy couldn't restore peace to Fishman Island when he passed through it on the way to the New World, but maybe he could temperoralily calm it down, or otherwise demonstrate his potential to become its new protector).
Agreed, I posted a similiar theory in the spoiler thread

I don't think we're supposed to be judging Luffy by how well he measures up to others. Luffy is Luffy and I think (know, this isn't a very deep story) that he will become greater than all who came before him. He's also probably more suicidal that most who came before him as well.
Besides which Luffy lacks several traits that Jinbei seems to admire. For instance, Luffy can be a bit amoral and uncaring about things that don't directly concern him or people he cares about. He doesn't seem to care about political power or wealth and just wants freedom. And he just pushes ahead without look back (much). Should Whitebeard fall I think Fishman Island will have to learn to look after themselves and not rely on outside power to protect them.
