Awesome chapter!
I join the "black and white guy is not Iva-san" bandwagon. No intro-box. Not really okama. Not corresponding to the silhouette of Iva from the same chapter. No prisoner outfit.

Uh huhhh that guy is the chief guard living at level 5 in a guard room. Super prediction. Now good night!
One Piece has once again proved that it's simply the best at pacing. Compared to the other two big manga in shonen jump. It's almost ridiculous how much material there is in One Piece each week compared to Naruto and Bleach.
can someone help, by redrawing page 1 from the chapter? ~ http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/4707/01copyi.jpg
Oh, so it's an alpaca, not a llama!
Isn't that mysterious character excentric enough?
It's OP. He is pretty normal.
Hm, Luffy's spontaneously coughing up blood. That's usually a sign of the end. He doesn't have very long at all.
Well, I'm definitely interested in urban legends like this, adds mystery and some intrigue. Mr. Cognac looks a bit okama-ish to me. Dance-like pose, manly square jaw, and his overcoat looks very feminine. If he isn't Ivankov he's certainly one of his men, I'd wager. And hey, for all we know, since Mr. 2 admitted to never seeing him before, Oda could be the sillouette to deliberately throw us off. We'll see.
Well, I personally believe that this mysterious person could very well be the okama queen. He is definitely linked to okama in some way, shape or form, at the least. Notice his stance; his free hand is held parallel to the ground in a rather effeminate way. His right leg is tilted to the side while his left leg is bent. Quite an eccentric pose. Also, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the human who is revered as a god by an entire people (for performing acts that are like miracles) would have this sort of… air about him/herself. Just look, doesn't s/he look otherworldy?

Most of my friends think OP is currently less interesting than Naruto and Bleach. They always say OP is always focusing too much in showing minor battles (like those with the guards) which don't really appeal to them. Well, my friends are the type who just want to see battles a lot. And when I say battles, it means battles with awesome moves and power ups.
Another funny thing is that they see OP now as the one which has the very slow pacing. For how many chapters now, my friends would say that nothing much happened. Or I guess what they are trying to say is that nothing much special or major twist is happening. Unlike in Bleach and Naruto where we got to see some big events (Ichigo's total hollowfication, Ishida's arm being amputated, Pains attack on Konoha, etc.) It's really a matter of preference on what type of story we are in on how we guage the pace of these series.
Oh yeah, when the guard was explaining how the prisoners who are demoned away are the calm and quiet ones who show no signs of escaping, did anyone else instantly think of a certain someone who was left behind…?
ha maybe he isn't saving people but the guy that appeared takes and kills/steals all the inmates that dissapear outfits and has fashioned his outfit from it.
notice how it is only black and white, the colors of their prison outfits (assuming)
but i'm guessing that isn't what he is doing, though i imagine that the dead prisoners outfits do get taken if they can, or the killed prisoners from the wolves. and even kill wolves and use their fur for the coat.
but would be cool if all of a sudden a huge army of missing prisoners come out charging when luffy is healthy again and they save Ace and counter charge time. Though then i would be scared of ANOTHER Rayleigh incident. you know Iva-san stops Maggellan for Luffy. But man woudl that piss off the government if all of sudden you have Luffy charging out of Impel Down with a whole slew of inmates and Ace on his back

Thanks for the Bleach spoilers, very interesting stuff that I didn't know yet as a Bleach reader
I feel the complete opposite in regards to the pacing in Bleach vs One Piece, but I guess that's why i'm here and not on the bleach forums.
One Piece needs to have variable length chapters damn it! I'd like to finish One Piece in my life time, and i'm already on 30+ haha! I say every five chapters, we get a 25-page or 29-page chapter. oh yeah!
first of all oda is rushing through impel down - so it seems by now
and i do not dislike it ! i like how oda is finally rushing this arc -yahoo~~
and about "that black/white guy is not iva-san!!111"
well guys all i gotta tell you is … maybe, but just look at his right hand,
that is definatley a small okama karatee pose, because mr.2 does stretch his
hand like this as well sure i might be mistaken, but i think it is a nice hint that
it is really iva-san; he does look so weird, why should not he be iva-san?
Oh yeah, when the guard was explaining how the prisoners who are demoned away are the calm and quiet ones who show no signs of escaping, did anyone else instantly think of a certain someone who was left behind…?
I actually have no clue who you are alluding to. Well, outside of the scope of people already suggested, that is.
I wonder will the world gov admit to allowing a single pirate into breaking into ID or will they say luffy got in with the help of his crew
i've been thinking whats sounds 1 single pirate breaking in by himself or A whole crew
nice chapter luffy is using haki finally
Oda is also speeding through this arc and rightly so making luffy do this solo wasn't a great idea in my opinion but at least luffys got mr2 watching his back
With 26 hours remaining and i bet that person is iva then it probably be a 5 maybe 6 hours for luffy to fully recover
On recovery Luffy might stay there for an hour eating and listening to what has to be said
then as luffy goes out Ace is being prepared to be taken to HQ
Luffy reaches the location finding jembei who says they have already taken ace to HQ
Luffy breaks him out and then they proceed in escaping ID Ace is on the ship in the dock when news of luffy reaches the marines Of course whos there to supervise the transfer but garp and sengoku
sengoku orders luffys capture which happens and luffy is taken on board with ace to Hq for execution with his brother
at least my prediction on the next chapter
For this chapter, well its alright i wonder what mr 3 n buggy will be up to and i hope its not gonna take up too much time
to the guy ho aid hes 30+ oda roughly the same age i doubt he'll keep this manga going iin his 60s
lucky for me im only 17 so i as long as im not hit by a bus anytime soon i should live to see one piece's end
(i hope ^__^)

Wow. Interesting "friends" (it's really just you, isn't it?). Nah, just kidding.
But I couldn't disagree more. OP consistently delivers killer plot points and fights week after week, whereas the other two have barely any dialogue (this week's Naruto was a big exception, although it's not as if something new and incredible was revealed) and consist mostly of huge character/battle shots. But it's certainly worth pointing out that OP is much more of an adventure manga (read: has extensive and in-depth plot) than Naurto or Bleach, which are focused far more on battles. They're really incomparable, imo.
EDIT so this is on-topic: mystery man at the end seems to be completely unaffected by the cold. No breath condensation or frost on his clothing. Weird.
^The recent chaps of OP haven't been top notch. I thought Oda would've did more focusing on Luffy to show us more of him, not just him and old enemies turned unlikely allies doing all of the intrical parts for him. Right now the actions of Luffy and co. are no different than him with the SHs down to the arbitrary arguments and to be truthful I don't give a damn about any of these guys, they're generally lame to me. I think I'd rather see Luffy pulling off crazy shit by himself right about now. Like right now I don't think I'll be interested in some Bentham focused or heavy chaps where his bleeding heart has a hard on to save Luffy.
I wonder will the world gov admit to allowing a single pirate into breaking into ID or will they say luffy got in with the help of his crew
If they're smart and I say "smart" with doubt lol they'd lie and say Kuma managed to capture Luffy and now he's in ID or is going to be killed.
If somebody tells them about the recent events they could tell the truth and just say Luffy broke in trying to save Ace and failed(dead).
I actually have no clue who you are alluding to. Well, outside of the scope of people already suggested, that is.
I thought he was talking about Gohan from DBZ… I'm just as lost as you.
@Neomaster121 - Thanks. That's good to know regarding Oda's age! :happy:
Oda is also speeding through this arc and rightly so making luffy do this solo wasn't a great idea in my opinion but at least luffys got mr2 watching his back
As hinted in my previous post you probably don't like this all Luffy arc cuz he really isn't doing this by himself and his help is lame although helpful in their own way. I'd argue if Luffy had the 10th's family from Reborn! helping him it'd be better lol.
I happen to think Oda passed up a prime opportunity to bring in a couple new characters as prisoners to help Luffy. They don't even have to be nakama material or candidates(although ppl here would make them that) but he could've mixed up some old and new.
@CCC:
Wow. Interesting "friends" (it's really just you, isn't it?). Nah, just kidding.
Have you ever wonder why Naruto and Bleach get more page views than OP in onemanga? That's the same thing happening in my circle of friends.

Like I said, my friends always tell me they're only minor battles. They don't give shit about Luffy and Co. battling those beasts and other guards. They seem to like an enemy with an established charisma which is what is happening in Bleach and Naruto right now.

That's why its really a matter of preference as I said. I like adventure series than battle ones and that's why I'll still rank OP higher than those two other.

Wait… So, you're saying that random prisoners that Luffy has no connection to should help him instead of people he's had an established relationship with? hmmm.... interesting...
Ok, seriously, I see what you're trying to say, but isn't Oda doing both? Isn't Luffy about to be helped by someone who he's never met before. Isn't this mixing it up?

Not necessarily random prisoners coming out of the woodwork helping him for no reason, just ppl he doesn't know that have alterior motives yet to be revealed. Also it wouldn't be hard to create a plot like that. I probably would've preferred that than the chance imprisonment of Buggy and those chap endings with BW members but thats me.
As for what he's doing now not so much I said mix up, not a group of this then a group of that. If he had thrown in an old enemy as ally then a new guy as ally and so on that'd me mixing it up to me. I was specifically talking about before Luffy was poisoned btw not now after he failed. Also I don't know if this guy is going to help for sure, probably will but its draggin for me.
Awesome chapter, Clay's turned the badassery up to 11 this time(yeah I know, sorry)
I'm with the 'not Iva' group since the 'demonings away' seem to be commonplace so its not much of a strech to imagine that Ivankov could've broken out, make shelter in the woods and formed a small resistance group (like someone suggested earlier)
Maybe the black+white split suit is just resistance 'uniform', and this one guy is Iva's 'general' (just throwing it out there)
iirc Bon made his subordinates practice ballet in costume so…(I'd like to say something about parallels but i'll leave it here)
Amazing chapter, probably they best of ID so far.
I maintain with a manga/anime series, if you take out the fight scenes, whats left should be enough to keep interests going… If you take the fights out of Naruto, it collaspes on itself, Bleach however is a bit stronger. One Piece doesn't even need the fights most of the time.
Good manga/animes can survive without fights.

When Jimbei made his appearance, and with the follow up of Crocodile stepin back into the story, that was the best so far for me, in this Impel Down Arc.

I don't think so, but thats just me.
A few comments.
That panel of Luffy on page 10, right above the bottom left corner one was so sad ;_;
Also, Bon Clay is a fuckin' g. F-U-C-K-I-N-' G. If he isn't intimately involved in the plot after ID, I will be disappointed in Oda. Bon Clay has personally sacrificed so much for Luffy, all in the sake of "friendship," that it would just be an absolute travesty if the character weren't delved into more (not necessarily as future SH nakama)
Also, obligatory "half white-half black man is Harry Potter" comment
I figure it would be a little too much of a coincidence for him to Iwa, but this is One Piece…who knows lol.

The problem with what you're suggesting is that in a way it's very idealistic. For starters, you'd expect most people who are thrown in jail to be immortal and generally bad people, who wouldn't want to help anyone but themselves. So, getting someone who previously had to connections to Luffy to help him is really out of the question. Especially when you factor in the ridiculous strength of Magellan's poison poison fruit. No one would want to oppose Magellan, and therefore Luffy's attempts and cries at saving Ace would go on deaf ears.
More or most importantly, Luffy asked for help, and when Buggy for example didn't want to help him anymore, Luffy was just planning to continue on by himself. So, either way, I doubt there'd be an opportunity that would be consistant with the story that would allow for a new character to help Luffy prior to now.
One Piece doesn't even need the fights most of the time.
I agree. But I hope the main SH-vs-Enemies (in one arc) match ups will happen between shorter intervals. Most of what is happening now are only random battles.

At least not for shonen.

I disagree. Expectations about the ppl in the prison shouldn't be assumed to be so for all, that's a little irrelvant and Oda's already done a good job of showing that with some of them and at the same time showing their desire to escape/get out of their cells. As for a prisoner that doesn't know Luffy "helping" him that would all be left to how Oda molded that character. I'm not talking about prisoners who'll help Luffy or escape and that's it. I'm talking about actual new characters for the manga that'll show up down the line. So in making w/e character tag along in this arc they'd have characteristics that'd explain or be believable for why they've involved themselves with this dangerous situation.

I agree with your whole idealism theory as it was even perfectly explained in this chapter by the other LV 5 prisoners who commented on the 'every man for themself' policy
this is the typical one piece pattern. luffy always has to be beat down for him to come back stronger. i have no doubt that luffy will learn to control his haki from some of the prisoners on level 5. these guys are truly heavy weights on the level of someone like Raleigh

Nothing against you and forgive me if I get a little heated up about this.
This is coming from someone which has read Bleach from start to the current point twice (thrice if you consider all the times I went back reading old chapters at random) and watched all the anime once by itself and twice with different friends.
Your friends' sanity is questionable. Bleach's pace is HORRIBLE. Let me reiterate: HORRIBLE. Nothing happened from chapter 316 to 339, just random newly introduced, badly characterized, generic, minor Arrancar characters fighting freakin' secondary chararacters. Then we get back to the protagonist and we get 11 chapters (3 MONTHS!) of an ABSOLUTELY BORING fight full of sword slashes and nothingness…
You can't seriously consider what happened in the recent Bleach chapter "shocking", I'd call it expected at best, Strawhats getting separated and sent to isle miles away from each other, that's "shocking". I'd go as far as saying that a lot of stuff happened in the latest chapters of OP (Impel Down arc) is pretty surprising (even though not shocking or story-changing) while in Bleach we have months and months of simply dull and repetitive combat.
Bleach had style back in the day and a fresh style of drawing with a great cast of characters. I loved it and I'm not afraid of admitting it. Now it sucks.
At least not for shonen.
Death Note, Bakuman, To Love Ru, Eyeshield 21, Prince of Tennis, Slum Dunk, Yakitate!! Japan, Kochikame, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, Detective Conan (Case Closed), Gintama.

There's no way the level 5 prisoners are anywhere near as strong as Rayleigh. He was Gol D. Roger's first mate. He's level 6 material.
Mysterious chapter
There better be some good explanation for those deamoning and stuff I mean they have the entire level five unchecked and people missing and people were claiming that if Luffy beats magellan ID would look incompetent…
Idk but at this moment it looks pretty incompetent...

I see your point, nothing is absolute, and there are always exceptions to the rules. But the norm is still the norm, and more likely than not I'd expect 99% of the prisoners to not care about Luffy's mission. Even the prisoners Buggy released on Level 2, ran back to their cells after their heard the growls of the Sphinx (I assume). Similarly, the Level 1 prisoners were incapable of dealing with the Bluegori.
As we get deeper, into Levels 3, 4, 5 etc, I'd expect the moral of the prisoner to be worse as stronger pirates will probably have more pride, and will be a lot less likely to help someone they don't know and instead would just look after their own backs like we saw in Level 5.
I think it's a real stretch for the situation you're describing you would have preferred IMO. Having established characters up until this point was the better route. While it maybe a bit formulaic and perhaps that the reason you would have prefer something a little bit more mixed up as you call it. I'm sure many more rabid fans would have disliked new characters helping Luffy out of nowhere.
this is the typical one piece pattern. luffy always has to be beat down for him to come back stronger. i have no doubt that luffy will learn to control his haki from some of the prisoners on level 5. these guys are truly heavy weights on the level of someone like Raleigh
I highly doubt this. Luffy will pick it up on his own. We'll continue to see him use it on and off until he gets a grasp of it himself.
I agree with your whole idealism theory as it was even perfectly explained in this chapter by the other LV 5 prisoners who commented on the 'every man for themself' policy
Yeah, this point is probably more accentuated on Level 5 because of the types of prisoners they have done here, but in general I think it's normal to expect that prisoners wouldn't help someone they had no attachment too.
However, just like with Buggy, they could help with an ulterior motive, but it doesn't work the same. We knew that Buggy would end up back with Luffy as many times as he ran away. There's no way to build this kind of character relationship with a new character, and this is the main reason I think Oda didn't go this route.
I have to say, I thought this chapter was amazing. After reading the spoiler, I thought it would turn out really boring. But as usual, the actual chapter is much better. I love the design of Level 5, And Bentham is quickly becoming one of my favourite characters. Seriously, he gets cooler every chapter. Wandering around a frozen tundra in nothing but Hannibyal's skirt and fighting off wolves with his fist is great, but I love the way Oda draws him covered in blood and Snow the most. Especially on page 11. He's pretty much a Strawhat, the way he cares for Luffy.
this is the typical one piece pattern. luffy always has to be beat down for him to come back stronger. i have no doubt that luffy will learn to control his haki from some of the prisoners on level 5. these guys are truly heavy weights on the level of someone like Raleigh
Think of the thrashing luffy received in shapody arc he hasent gotten stronger since then. Raleigh as a old man i can say is prolly 10 times stronger then him currently. So what i am saying is they are in different leagues people as strong as raleigh are few in the one piece world. No way luffy will meet someone of that caliber on leval 5.
Amazing chapter bon Clay has some of the most epic moments. I love it when people start doubting luffy (prisoners) And in the end he succeeds.
Yup, I didn't think of Bentham Disguising himself as Hannyable. But it makes perfect sense now.
So, Do you think the person on the last page is Iva-san. If so, do you think she is just a good doctor or possesses a devil-fruit power?
lol at the Pandaman being on the list.
chances are that mysterious guy is the queen of okama, he dresses and poses like one anyway. Anyone trying to refute this using the silhouette must remember thats just an impression reflecting from bon chan's mind, who has never seen iva-chan before. the shicibukai are nothing like their silhouette too when they are first introduced.
ps: i only realise now iva's hat is his hairdo
most likely its a devil fruit power knowing how the story is, so then luffy when get cured and he eats and I don't know the rest

The shicibukai silhouettes were made 10 years ago.. and the last one was revealed a few weeks ago.. and they all looked identical. Oda probably never meant for them to be the real ones just tried to make a visualization of 7 pirates.
Iwa's was shown a few weeks ago and will be revealed soon. I doubt they'd make that much of a difference that much apart. Black and white guy is probably a subordinate.
Also, I'm pretty sure Jinbei had a silhouette recently as well and it matched up to him.
Hi, guys I'm new to the forums, but I've been reading One Piece and Arlong Park for years. Just a thought, when I first saw the guy at the last page, I thought he looked like Mr.5. O_o Idk, just a wild thought.
Hmmm Miracle Worker, black and white appearance, face scar… Seems like a tribute to Dr. Blackjack.
loul shit yeah a tribute to Dr. Black Jack
nice found Wild Seven
@Wild:
Hmmm Miracle Worker, black and white appearance, face scar… Seems like a tribute to Dr. Blackjack.
yay, and mysterious too.
But everyone is black and white in manga, isnt it
@Wild:
Hmmm Miracle Worker
It's not Iwa, bro.
I would be willing to make a small wager that it's Iva-San at the end. Seems like the appropriate point for him to show up. Given the natural build up in the story. Plus nobody but an Okama would pose like that while holding wine with one hand.
Look at that pose and tell me that's not a Okama!
If it turns out it's not Iva-San I'll be shocked and Oda is up to tricks again.
As for Iva San not matching Bon's little shadow Silhouette. I don't see how this is a problem. Silhouettes never match up in One Piece unless the person who is thinking of Sihouette has actually seen the person or people they're talking about. That's why when Garp speaks of the 4 Yonku, the Sihouettes match up, because he knows what they look like, but when we're initially introduced to the 7 warlords it didn't match up because the person describing them had never seen any of them.
Doesn't this make sense? No? hmm…. plus we don't know what Black and White man would look like if he tilted his head back and started laughing... might match Bon Chan's silhouette.
Overall, a great chapter. Lots of emotion. Mr. 2 was epic. I think Luffy will someday pay him back for this. They need to free Ace now... I think a person made of fire might come in handy inlevel 5.
