Chapter 535 "Buddy" Discussion
-
Prepare! The new age is coming!
-
Thank you my new friend ;)
-
bonney, capone, kidd, and law all got away. the rest got captured. At least I think kidd and law should have been able to handle that pacifista.
-
Mr. 2…more than a man...more than a friend...an Okama!
-
Did Mr.2 touch Magellan on top of page 16 ?
And Mr.2 is so loyal, do you think he will finally really join the SH ? I can't see Luffy abandoning him again after that !?
-
ahh good chapter. Luffy put up quite a nice fight i'd have to say. But Magellen is a freaking beast!
Mr. 2 FTW.
-
So.. What exactly did happen to Hannyabal?
-
^ do you think Hannyabal genuinely got defeated by Bon Clay?
-
-
Did Mr.2 touch Magellan on top of page 16 ?
Not in any panel, no. Although that would make for another great trick later on, it seems unlikely considering that it wasn't explicitly shown (explicitly yet subtely, I mean; like the first shot of Luffy eating the devil fruit in chapter 1. But no. That didn't happen here).
My question is: where did they stash Hannibal? And what does he look like without his headgear? We at least know that he has long hair, because the tassels protruding from the hat disappeared when Bentham changed back.

No that wouldn't make sense, he would not have a unique place in the crew, neither social nor in battles.

Amazing chapter. It did seem like a lot of things happened in here. Magellan really messed Luffy up. And Bentham is now going to rescue Luffy. Between him, Goldino and Buggy they should be able to come up with a viable plan. And Mr. 1 is still a mystery as of now. As far as Hannybal goes, I bet he's in on the plan. After all, this would be his big break.
Level 5 is the Freezing Hell. That must mean Ace and the rest are on Level 6. Quite interesting. As someone said, the Wax Wax powers should work quite well here since they can now hold a form. That means that keys to the prison doors should be a piece of cake….as long as no Guard Beasts and such are around. The clock is ticking for both Luffy and Ace, and Ace is already very worried. He knew the insurmountable odds that his brother was going to hit against, and now things are looking pretty grim.
Oh, and I really liked all of the shots of Luffy during the fight. He was extremely intense.
-
Plus they need a fishman nuff said!
They don't need a fishman and they could get both.
At any rate, I doubt Mr. 2 is gonna end up joining, they already a former Baroque Works agent (and a higher ranking one to boot), as well as someone who focuses in kicking…Although...they could use a dancer...they already have a bard.. -
Bepo will defect from Law's crew and join the Strawhats.
Moving on to other news, Magellan is pretty strong, definetly to much for Luffy to handle. Unfortunately we are setting up for hax. It seems that Luffy is too far poisoned for the antidote to do anything, looks like the worst has been realized.
Haki can heal all things….
-
Yeah, Bentham just doesn't seem to fit with the crew. On the other hand, he may possibly join the Queen of the Okama Iwa-san. That would make more sense.
-
@Scratchmen:
So.. What exactly did happen to Hannyabal?
Mr. 2:
Can you go away so I would look like you and help a lot of dangerous prisoners get away from this stupid place?
Hannyabal:
Sure
Mr. 2:
k thx -
So Magellan touches Mr 2. It is getting better and better.
The chapter was nice. I like MR2 mmore and more. The other two loosers are somewhat annoying.
Oda cheated a bit, did not gave us a hint how defeated /where warden is.
Well, lets see what happens next. I hope the story advances very fast and they visit chapter 5 soon.
-
@Fiasco.:
Haki can heal all things….
If that was so GR wouldn't have died…
Besides I doubt Oda would do something so cheap.

I noticed something in the first panel on this page. Although Mr.2 has reverted back to his own body, he still has Hannybal's wings. That means, Hannybal's wings are fake, just like Magellan's horns. Maybe Magellan's wings are also fake? Maybe they want to look more intimidating this way. ^^
-
That could raise the possibility that Mr. 2 did indeed defeat him and stole his clothes.
-
Mr 2 = Man of The Chapter
-

Why? If Hannybal was part of the escape plan, he would give Mr.2 his wings too, wouldn't he?
-
I don't think Magellan's wings are real, they'd be growing out of his body if they were, and they don't. (You can see that in page 9)
-
Why? If Hannybal was part of the escape plan, he would give Mr.2 his wings too, wouldn't he?
Eh, I just think him being in on this too isn't necessary, but we'll see I suppose.
-
Also, Franky and Bon-chan have the same Seiyuu. Any scenes with both of them in it would be extremely awkward if he joined.
Good chapter, good chapter. It's pretty much cemented Ace and the others being in Level 6, though. Question is, why is level 6 seemingly tame compared to the crazy levels before it?
I called it wrong, so long ago. I guess this needs to be changed.
-
Wow. I lost my time reading this chapter. It just went by so quickly and I was ready for more. Can't wait for the next one.
Thanks for the chapter from all the providers.
More to come…. -

Bottom left panel the guard explains Mr 2's involvement with croc and says "ah no! an okama!" Magelan replies with "not important" He seemed to be shocked when he read the Okama part.
Is he talking about what went on with Croc? Or that for some reason being an Okama could mean something serious for them?
Folks who read One Piece… Just better people. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Or maybe homosexuality isn't accepted at Impel Down, which would be unusual for a prison….

Damn I miss the rest of the crew

Maybe Luffy will have a poison-induced hallucination or dream about them or something. Could happen. Possibly. Now would be the time to throw people a bone.

Actually it's Level 5 (there are only 5) and it's more mellow because it's the freezing hell. So everyone can't move around as well when they're near frozen. When you think about it though, it's the perfect place to keep "Fire-Fist Ace". I hope that Ace-san and Luffy get reunited soon!!
"We have to live our lives so that we never have any regrets. One day we'll set out to sea, to live our lives the way we want. WITH MORE FREEDOM THAN ANYONE ELSE!"

Mister 2 lord of friendship!
"Beacuse he's a friend!! I don't need any other reason!!!" Best words eva =D"Because he's a friend!! I don't need any other reason!"
-
This was such a sad chapter. I almost cried seeing Luffy scream Ace and Ace rattling his chains.
-
It seems as though Magellan has poisoned Luffy to the extent that he expects him to die within the next 24hrs, and has cast him off to Level 5: Freezing Hell to suffer in his last hours.
Now, we know Luffy will not die, but just how will he manage to survive this poison, and how will Oda make it so that we're not gonna call Bullshit on how he does it.
I'm guessing we'll need something more than just the antidote for the poisons. Maybe a character on Level 5 will have a unique skill for such a situation as this one. The way I see it now, Bon-chan along with Buggy and Mr. 3 are definitely gonna attempt a rescue. Magellan is off to the crapper, and Hannyabal is probably just hiding letting the chaos build up in an attempt to make Magellan look bad. But back to point, let's assume that Bon-chan makes it to Luffy within the next chapter, what else can he do with a super-over-poisoned Luffy. So, will we get a new character being introduced, or will someone (from the Impel Down staff) be forced to give Luffy the antidote in an attempt to interrogate and get information out of him.
-
Thanks for the scans and stuff…
Well... of course Luffy can't die at the moment... that would just be unsatisfactory... and antidote seems out of the question at the moment (and a bit anti-climatic as well)
...Hmm...
-
Now that the chapter is fully out, I realize the brutality of it all…but it still felt more like two, even three regular chapters. I know I shouldn't be worried at all but I just wish Oda let this first Luffy/Magellan fight last a bit longer.
-
I love fast paced fights that have a decent amount of bulk to them, and I found Luffy vs Magellen to be great. I LOVED that fight. Luffy got messed up man, He wont die of course, but Oda probably has some genious plan to keep him alive.
-
Ah. There is an ice level, but it isn't the bottom level like I thought it'd be. That's assuming there's a sixth level, which is basically a yes 'cause OP "rumours" are almost always true.
Poor Luffy. He got his ass kicked. At least you can always count on Mr. 2.
-
@Fiasco.:
Or maybe homosexuality isn't accepted at Impel Down, which would be unusual for a prison….
Bon Clay is not gay. Okama is not another word for homosexual. That's a stereotype.
One thing that really stuck with me from this (awesome) chapter was this page: http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/535/12/ "No long a way to cure it…!" Well, this is an interesting development. So matter what Luffy is boned. I hope, while not expecting, that Haki is not a way to cure this poison. I would rather see Luffy fight it out, return to the Sunny, find Chopper there and have him treat him. I just feel that Luffy taking down Impel Down and saving Ace would be more epic if he did while lethally poisoned.
So many people in the world. And so many bullets. Lots and lots of bullets.
-
I'm confused though. If Buggy and Mr. 3 were beaten, and Hannybal was letting them pass, why didn't this guard report Hannybal?
http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/535/02/Anyone notice that Mr.2 as a six pack? Never would have guessed.
-
Thought the 500 pirates were still in the process of being sent to ID after Luffy&Hancock had already departed. Really think all 500 pirates made it to ID, got baptized, then sent to there specified levels before Luffy&Boa made it there?
I think people tend to misunderstand something here. It was never said that Impel Down doesn't have the manpower nor the time to take in 500 prisoners at once. What was said is, that they were lacking the manpower to do all the paperwork. Hence why Sengoku said the Labor Department should take care of it (the paperwork that is). To put 500 pirates inside the prison was never said to be a problem so all those guys should be at Impel Down by now.
-
The 3 shounen characters are down this week but Luffy is the only one that doesn't have some deus ex machina. I highly doubt they can get an antidote and haki would be too ridiculous. The only thing I can think of:
1)the poison being frozen
2) Hancock will help and petrify Luffy to prevent the poison from spreading and head off to gather the crew
3) ???Naruto has his damn fox power and Ichigo has his Hollow power. Luffy has nothing that he has developed to help in this time.
Luffy probably won't be cured next week either.
-
This isn't Hancock's fight, and I doubt she'll interfere.
She went to a lot of trouble to help Luffy, and he definitely won't rat her out.I think you're right though, in that Luffy will not be cured next chapter. We'll probably have to suffer for another two maybe three chapters before we see what "mysterious" (Luffy's favourite word) cure Oda contrives for us.
-
Besides Hancock should be long gone. Last time we saw her was when she boarded Momonga's ship which was just setting sail. There'd be no reason for her to longer remain there.
I think an antidote is most likely, because Magellan needs to interrogate Luffy before he bites the dust. This is Luffy we're talking here after all, so even if antidote wouldn't help a normal guy with that much poison for Luffy and his strong will it should do the trick.

I've thought about this and while I think it works, I feel like this is one of those times where Oda will put a fast one on us, and use something that's not entirely left-field, but something we just aren't thinking of as a way for Luffy to get out of this situation. Something still in-line with the story.
And for the DEM'ers. Please learn what DEM really means.
Just because something is "shocking" doesn't mean it's DEM.But either way, I'd imagine Magellan would want to interrogate Luffy, but Magellan just ran off to this porcelain throne, probably for the next four, maybe five hours. And Hannyabal just really wants Magellan to look bad, but I doubt he'd go out of his way to help Luffy.

Ok well I'll take the my chances of inciting another debate but the way I see it Haki could play a role in counteracting the poison.
Since according to Magellan there is no antidote to cure the poison, there are a few possible outcomes.
- Luffy dies: not really an option
- Hannyabal could possess an antidote Magellan does not know about
- Luffy is a badass, he'll fightoff the poison through sheer willpower
- Poison shmoisin…a little bit of meat and Luffy will be up and ready.
- Haki as the answer to everything in the one piece world (kinda like 42)
I really don't see the point of Hancock petrifying Luffy as when he's unpetrified, he will still be poisoned. Plus petrifying him did not work before, it will probably notr work again.
And as for the poison being frozen, Lvl 5 is the Frozen Hell, would that mean Magellan's poison is ineffective on lvl 5, I don't think so.

Like Jinbei swallowing everybody in his large whaleshark mouth and swim away with everyone underwater?
-
Crazy Idea.
The poison mushrooms from Amazon Lily will help Luffy fight the poison from Magellan! -
What the…? I actually really like that idea and it really would fit Oda's foreshadowing style.^^
