Wow. Seeing that chapter makes me think Bon Clay should win the character tourney. Getting caught in the excitement, i forgot they didn't show Mr.2 on the ship and when the gates started to open, i suddenly got sad. That pulled a heart string seeing Mr.2 again save Luffy. That "thank you" from everyone on the ship(except Crocodile and Mr.1 probably) will keep Mr.2 alive as he serves his time in ID. He'll be back, and i'll be really happy to see him again when he does. It's nice that it was shown when he touched Magellan's face. I'm still really wondering what's happening with BB and crew, maybe the next chapter, maybe not. Either way it will be very exciting, 4 hours left…
Chapter 548 "Thank you" Discussion

-
awesome chapter indeed
Mr. 2 aside I really hated seeing christmas wolf die too. he was skinned and is now a hat :< (see page 5)
:<
-
The arc hasn't ended yet, according to the end of the chapter.
Those boxes represent the end of the arc. What Teach does there is not a part of Luffy's story.
-
So was that our 1st look at a rear admiral on pg 4? Guess they're no name fodder.
Anyway great chap as expected. Bentham did his thing, pretty good sacrifice and although he did it before this was better, not because he's probably dead but because we knew he was only arrested back then.
Oda once again shows superior incompetence in ID staff. The marines will have to get their #1 spot back in Marinedford.
-
I half expected Black Beard to be standing up at the end of the chapter unhurt and laughing. But all in all a great chapter. I shed a tear for Bon-chan
-
Oh god, great chapter, very heart warming. This defenetly made me cry a little, especially at the 'Thank you' from Luffy and everyone. I'm acctually surprised that Mr. 3 and Buggy and even Ivankov cried along with Luffy and everyone, but that just made it even better for me. To think that they think of each other closely enough to cry for him. The Mr. 1/2/3, Croc, Buggy and Luffy aliance was always my favorite in this arc. <3
I like how they compared Bon's sacrafice from this chapter to the last time he did it in Alabasta. And how Luffy was frustrated at how he was always getting saved by Bon was cute, but in a sad way.
I'm acctually very shocked at how… what's the word? Easily fooled the fodder marines are. I mean, Magellan was at the entrance. How in the world would he get to them in that short amount of time? Seriously. And he was intent on not letting the pirates and escaped prisoners get out of Impel Down. So when he suddently changed his mind, that should have given them some sort of idea that something was wrong. And if they remembered the the escaped prisoners profiles that they chcked a few chapters ago, they would've know of Bon's ability. But I guess the comotion and crazyness that was going on kind of threw them off a bit.
Over all, great chapter. Oda did an awesome job here. :D
-
Great chapter,but is Impel down arch really over?
What about Black Beard and Shiiryu? Maybe they just sneak away in the chaos,but that doesn't seems like BB style.
-
Well, maybe BB already got what he came for, and he didn't want to get the attention of any top ranked marines and have them tell someone higher up (because, maybe he still has some plans that involve him seeming like he's still with the WG), so he quickly and quietly left?
-

I think it's more self preservation on their part? If you remember a few "fodder" got poisened when Magallen and Luffy first fought without even an eyebrow raised from him so I think that would be in everyones mind as well as all the crazyness that was and has been happening. Plus it's not their job to think and on top of that they have never experienced anything even close to this scale of escape and chaos in ID (I'm assuming that that guy taking the orders isn't much older than 20 and therefore wouldn't have been around during the last escape)
Anyway omg what an amazing chapter! One of my favourites without a doubt. Bon-chan you will be missed! (I totally cried during this chapter :cwy:)
And Inazuma's style just took on a new level lol -
Wow, depressing chapter. Yet I'm thankful that we're moving on to a different arc, Impel Down was beginning to seem…not boring, but just too dragged-out. I am waiting very impatiently for the next chapter D:
-
The next guy who will possibly sacrifice himself is Jinbei. Remember that.
-
It's chapters like these that make me glad i don't read spoilers.
I am torn on whether or not I want Bon Clay to live. He's one of my favorite characters, but it might be better if his story ends here. It's not like he has a great chance of doing anything too significant if he returns later in the story. -

Damn Fool… Thanks Bon-Chan
-
DAMB YOU ODA!!! WHY'D YOU HAVE TO REVEAL IT BON-CHAN'S DOING!!! RIGHT WHEN THEY SAID THEY STILL HAD TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE GATES I KNEW BON-CHAN WAS NOT ONBOARD AND HE WOULD DOIT, BUT NOW I'LL NEVER BE ABLe TO GET RESPECT FOR AN ACCURATE PREDICTION BECAUSE IT WAS ALREADY REVEALED!!!
-
This chapter was simply awesome in all aspects. I've never felt this way for a character outside the flashbacks. Bon Kurei is now one of my favorite manga characters of all time.
-
I'm thinking that when Black Beard will get out of Impel Down, he will take Mr.2 with him :P
-
Man, I planned to read the latest fairy tail today as well, but after this chapter, I doubt fairy tail can even compare, I'll have to wait.
-
Fuck everyone that doubted Oda! yeah i said it I don't care if I get banned. FUck you guys haha. Over excited nerds full of prejudice in the spoiler thread. Hahaha. Always forming over conclusive assumptions on little spoilers.
"when did bon boy touch magellan's face?"
"how did whale shark shichi know about bonboys ability?"Haha serves you right. The chapter is perfect. Answered all of your questions doesn't it? Haha
-
^ I agree with this guy to an extent. People should not judge a chapter with only the spoilers.
-
Sad as this chapter was, it's gonna be freakin' tragic when we get to it in the anime. I can already imagine a sad remix of "Oh Come My Way."
-
Awesome chapter. I can't wait to see what the Impel Down group will do now that the escapees are on the other side of the gates of justice.
While someone else mentioned it before, I loved seeing Croc suggest "firing cannons" and Buggy stealing it. Too funny. That's what I love about Buggy's character. He has all these interactions with incredible people while being a wimpy scoundrel himself.
I also found the two prisoners talking about "going how to their families" interesting. See, if that's how more prisoners act they Impel Down really should let some of them go once in a while instead of torturing them for life. A prison is for rehabilitation after all.
-
Great ending to the escape from Impel Down. Bon Clay's sacrifice was as noble as it can get.
-
So, does this officially mean that Bentham is dead? I think that what he did in this chapter should allow him to win the character tournament. I mean, this is the second time he's saved Luffy. And I don't believe now that Ace is going to be executed, It's not possible anymore. Bentham will probably die (he better die, I don't want Oda to pull a Pell again) and I just can't see Oda putting 2 deaths so close to eachother. And I LOVED that poem at the end, so sad :cwy: .
-
How about Magellan is fired , and decides to chase Luffy.
Ace is saved by Luffy and becomes the new nakama.
When Magellan finds Luffy he will get his ass kicked by Ace , cause normally fire vs poison is a easy victory. -

More like third or fourth time he's saved Luffy. He covered their escape at Alabasta, saved Luffy from Level Five and brought him to Iva, cheered on Luffy's recovery from his poisoning (which Iva acknowledged as having had to play a part in Luffy's getting better), and just now covered their escape.
And I'm inclined to agree on the Pell thing. This is too big for Bon to survive without cheapening it. Given Oda's preference for not killing, he may just never mention Bon again so everyone can draw their own conclusions. If he does survive, I can't help thinking Bon's bought a one-way ticket to Level Six.
I'm still not too sure on Ace's execution. The thing I'm liking about this arc is that just about anything can happen. Even given Oda's general No-Kill rule, the only character with a guaranteed free pass in all this is Luffy.
-
Awesome, awesome chapter, the Impel Down arc could not have ended better!!! Mr.2 is really amazing, I hope we'll see him again soon…
But what I'd like to know is how he got Magellan's clothes (and Hannyabal's as well) ^^
-
I think that in the next chapter there will be no Luffy and co , and that we will get Whitebeard's arrival and the war start.

I personally don't think Bentham is dead, but it appears most people do, and I agree with their reasoning "Can his sacrifice really be topped?". But Bon-clay says let us meet again, which leads me to assume that he's not going to die. Who knows maybe he's wrong and magellan will kill him or it may just be wishfull thinking on my part.
http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/548/19/On another note, in las weeks chapter when the whale sharks appear Jinbei tells them "Please bring them here", did anybody else think he was telling the whale sharks to go out and find the Strawhats? Although, on second glance it seems like he could be ordering them to bring the escapees to the ship.

Bon Clay won't die, its OP. Magellan will probably poison him into submission then lock him back up(unless BB does something to Magellan). We'll see him again later, his moment was to epic to never have him meet up with Luffy again.
-
What I really liked in this chapter is that Magellan did let Mr.2 and Luffy & Cie say their farewell, as much as he must hate Luffy right now.
-
This is one jawesomesauce-filled chapter. This will be the first time a major character will die in One Piece, holy carapace!
And how the heck did Iva recover from Magellan's poison? (I srsly don't know)
-
Ace is saved by Luffy and becomes the new nakama.
Nah, way back when we first met Ace, Luffy asked him to join his crew, but Ace said he would never leave WB, ever.
Smoker, AoKiji, Sentoumaru, Kizaru, Blackbeard?
Don't forget the Mountain Bandits!!!
Technically Luffy never won against them, Benn owned all of them, and then the Local Sea Monster finished off the leader…Don't know why, but everyone forgets them. I mean, they were the first villains in the story, how can one forget them?!
...
As for this chapter, it was awesome up until page 18, and then, thanks to the poem, it became amazing!!!
No matter who the story focuses on next week, I know this can only get better!
-

If it's sarcasm you should join my pirate crew.
But if it's not, you might want to consider the Omegas…
-
Awesome chapter. I think it was a good escape from ID, and I didn't expect it to end that way. I think it's possible for Bon to be killed, but it's equally possible for him to end up in Level 6.
-
Looks like I caught up with OP just in time for a great chapter, and possibly the beginning of the Marineford arc!
Bon Clay is quickly becoming one of the all-time best OP characters, but I just can't get TOO emotional about it. Probably because I'm 100% sure he'll survive.
Nah, way back when we first met Ace, Luffy asked him to join his crew, but Ace said he would never leave WB, ever.
Maybe if Whitebeard dies. Not likely, but still possible. …Of course, that's just me being overly optimistic that a certain something happens after they save Ace… :whistling:
[hide]@ABSMr.Prince:“They vill still ve avter Ace” Iva-sama let out in a shrill tone.
“But what can we do?” Sanji asked.
“Oooh Ohhh I love this game! Brain-storming time!” Bon-clay said excitedly slapping his hand against his face, causing him into change into a mimic of Luffy.
“Vait! Bon-Clay you are a genius!” Iva exclaimed, slamming his hand down on the hard wooden table.
“Disguise” the room said in agreement. It just so happened to be a special ability of Iva’s. Iva had taken Ace into another room.
“Wait! What!” could be heard before muffled screams of terror coming from Ace in the room they had just entered.
Minutes passed, and then hours.
“The hormone transversal! It vas a complete success!” Iva shrieked with girlish pride. That’s when it happened, a busty beautiful transformed Ace walked out. He was slender and built as always just in a different way than before; his build was more of a bust. It was then Sanji realized two things in the room Iva-sama’s smoldering and smoking blue afro and that the he that was formally ace was now a she.
And She was beautiful; Tall, Skinny, with her long black hair tied back into a ponytail, and even the freckles on his face looked even more girly. Sanji was stunned, he had never seen such a beauty even Nami or Robin couldn’t compare.[/hide]

yeah, I'm not really sad because I think that he'll die, I'm just sad that he may not turn up again for like 5 years.

That was… a little disturbing Super-Franky...

When Magellan finds Luffy he will get his ass kicked by Ace , cause normally fire vs poison is a easy victory.According to Pokémon, steel is immune to poison, so Franky will be Magellan's nemesis.

@Dream:

I erased the more disturbing details…
[hide][Sanji] felt a hand on his shoulder, and turned suddenly. Only to be pulled into a kiss. It was Ace and her lips were the softest Sanji had ever felt, although it would only be rude to point out they were the only he had ever felt. Sanji looked at ace in shock and bliss. Sanji pushed her away.
“AA-Ace-San this isn’t right you’re a gu-“
“A girl Sanji-kun I am a girl” she looked at him sadden. “ Didn’t you notice?”
“ I have..” he looked down in half shame.
“I’m no longer a guy Sanji-kun” sweat beaded down her bright orange bikini and dripped on to the cutting board she gently kneeled on. “ and I know you know that, I never will be again, I know you have noticed me, and..I have noticed you Sanji-kun” Ace said to Sanji defiantly. They had both become the same intense shade of red, blushing intensely they stared at each other in silence.
“I Ace..I” Sanji moved forward and kissed Ace passionately on the lips. “Ace-Chwan I love you”
“I love you too Sanji-kun”

We shall never forget!

Bon-chan T.T
I have a feeling there could be a Magellan cover story in the future.

Oh, yeah. I forgot the other times that Bon Kurei saved Luffy during Impel Down .

I was thinking that by "Okama Fields" he meant the after life. I don't know maybe Magellan will just poison him, lock him up, and then cure him :ermm: .
-
In all likelihood Mr. 2 is going to end up back in Level 5.5 as the next ''Ivankov'', and we'll see him again the next time there's a montage of people from all around the world reacting to the Straw Hats.
But until then he will always be in our hearts~~!!!!!
-
Well, Bon said something like "We'll meet again!".
This is a sure sign of him meeting the strawhats sometime in the future.
-
Great sacrifice ending. Mr.2 isn't going to die. He'll either be stuck there as a prisoner or he'll end up leaving along with BB when he leaves ID.

He could, but it seems like he might be put on level 6.
-
I wonder why pepole wont just face the fact that he might be dead, I for one would like to see that happening. Because if he does not die, then this really reminds me of Naruto, where they pull clones out of theyr asses. =&
-
He could be dead but the line "may we meet again" makes people think he isn't dead.
