- Alright, I KNOW it’s the last chapter in the arc, those are always good. Wrap it up and show me what’s next, Oda!
- Fpos/cs: “The House where Dr. Vegapunk was born” THAT Vegapunk? Damn, Franky sure found a location
- Impel Down, Level 4. I already said goodbye to that prison, come on
- oh, It’s Blackbeard and his team, just after a dose of the anti-poison antidote. They’ll be fine. Yaaaay.
- No but what are they doing here
- “Luck may decide who lives and who dies but whoever get scared first loses!” …this is extremely correct. Blackbeard says smart things. I’m sitting and stewing in indignant rage at that fact
- oh, Shiryu is HELPING them? I didn’t even notice he vanished
- “I welcome you. Looks like you’ll be a great ally for us!” “It’s obvious what the future holds for me here. I’ve been waiting to meet someone like you!” wow, new crew. This is bad news for us but hey, great for you guys!
- on the ship with prisoners
- Inazuma is out for now but he’ll be fine :)
- why is Ivankov’s head still that big
- Luffy and others are still crying after Bon, bless
- Buggy isn’t feeling it
- and for once, Luffy remains serious! Friend sacrificing themselves is a serious business! Straw Hats try to do it all the time but this the first time it worked out and Luffy saw! Don’t start a party now, Buggy!
- while Luffy and Buggy are dunking it out, Crocodile and Jimbei are having a civilized discussion :)
- (does Buggy and other prisoners even know they’re going to Marineford to fight like the whole Navy? Like, did they agree to that? I know Jimbei, Ivankov, Crocodile and Daz Bonez are very much up for fighting here but other prisoners may be not)
- “I thought only mermaids could talk to fish.” “Is it so strange for a fish-man to be on friendly terms with sea creatures?” Trans Jimbei Alert, you heard it here first, folks :D Anyway, I think Jimbei is on friendly terms with everyone, he has the vibes
- “It’s unusual for a fish-man to be on friendly terms with anyone. You must be an exception to your barbaric race.” First of all, what did I just say. Second of all, Crocodile, come on
- “I’ll take that as a compliment. You’re right! Fish-men are barbaric!” …huh?
- niece, Luffy and Jimbei like each other
- …Jimbei knows Arlong? Small world, huh
- LOL
- “Forgive me for not introducing myself sooner” Both Luffy and Buggy didn’t know Jimbei was a Warlord of The Sea, that’s hilarious :D
- “What Navy Headquarters!!!???” ah, that answers my earlier question
- Crocodile explains situation to everyone. I love how he just hangs around now
- “NOBODY TOLD US THAT!!!” yeah :D well, it’s not like you would stay in Impel Down if you knew so tough luck
- “Get off if you want.” “How can I! I’ll drown!” haha :D
- snail phone?
- “This is Navy HQs” “Hi. This is Luffy.” “DON’T INTRODUCE YOURSELF!!” :D
- anyway, Navy thinks Luffy and Buggy were leaders of the prison break!!!!
- I mean, Buggy caused a riot and Luffy caused, well, everything, but leaders? …Oh well, the point is that their bounties will go up!!! Party time
- wait, what
- “We initially dismissed you as a upstart… but we’ve since discovered that you once sailed with the Pirate King, Gold Roger… isn’t that right, Buggy The Clown?” !!!!!
- …ok, no, I actually knew this. Practically I was spoiled because I saw gifs from anime but TECHNICALLY I could figure it from first few chapters with Buggy! I mean, Rayleigh was in Buggy’s flashback for god’s sake, and we all know Rayleigh was Roger’s first mate!!! Oh, how theorists must have rejoiced back in the day (in 2008 I think. That’s soooo long ago, I need to lay down just to comprehend it)
- “WHAT!!??” haha :D
- “It has also come to light that you are the blood brother of “Red-Haired” Shanks, One of the four Emperors.” “WHAT!!??” blood brother? That I didn’t know. But of course they know each other, Buggy doesn’t like Shanks, he vocal enough about it
- “After this incident, we won’t underestimate you again.” no, please do underestimate him
- Luffy hung up :D bless this boy
- and just like that, Buggy the Clown steal the spotlight :D normal prisoners are so impressed
- “He has an impressive past.” “And yet he’s so weak.” “…” “So why do you play so dirty!!?” “There are a few rotten apples on every ship.” But Big Shot’s opinion is as low as ever :D
- and now Luffy drops the bomb of Knowing Rayleigh The Dark King :D what a good chapter, I just keep smiling
- oh no, Buggy is overthinking this
- me: Buggy no
Buggy: BUGGY YES
- oh god, he wants to attack Whitebeard
- and… he’s convincing prisoners that’s a good idea?
- HE DID CONVINCE THEM!!! Buggy, you’re so helpful, wow
- “I guess that’s settled.” And Luffy didn’t have to say a single word :D
- “Buggy seems to have a talent for leadership.” You know what, Jimbei, he does
- damn, what a nice chapt… ACE!! WE’RE WITH ACE!!!!
- “3 hours until the execution” that’s not good
- mini flashback!
- “Listen, Luffy! We have to live our lives without regrets! Someday we’ll go to sea and live however we want!”
