Reading One Piece pt 291: You Can Do It
Chapter 538
Thoughts:
- ok, I’m not gonna lie, Ivankov scare me
- in a flashback now
- “Ten years of your life! That’s what it will cost to save you, Straw Hat.” “Okay” D: but honestly, Luffy doesn’t exactly have a choice here
- “And even then there’s no guarantee you’ll make it! But right now your chance of survival is zero. I can only increase that to 2 or 3 percent.” Can we get some more miracle workers here? And increase Luffy’s chances to at least 50%? Please?
- “Whether you live or die… depends on your own will power!“ oh, ok. We’re good then. Beat these odds Luffy, just like you beat bad guys
- The healing has begun
- (D:)
- end of flashback
- Bon Clay can’t believe someone could scream for 10 hours straight. So do I. It must be some kind of record
- oh, Ivankov raised Luffy’s immunity factors, so his body can actually fight off all that poison. His body is in overdrive AND the poison is hurting him. Poor Luffy…
- Bon Clay are scared but Ivankov HAVE NO PATIENCE FOR QUITTERS!!!
- “MIRACLES ONLY HAPPEN TO THOSE WHO NEVER GIVE UP!” damn, ok
- later, during a party
- oh, Ivankov are explaining their powers
- “In short, I ate the horm-horm fruit. Now I can freely manipulate hormones at will.” Jesus, that’s scary
- it feels like Bon Clay normally would be super happy to be on this party but now they just can’t. Their friend is in pain
- wait, they’re explaining Secret Garden
- I really wish Impel Down would stop being horrible for 5 seconds but no
- “The guards don’t notice” I’m not surprised, no one expects Spanish Inq… I mean, such a nice place to exist in a Hell on Earth
- so they know outside news, huh
- oh, so Ivankov didn’t create Secret Garden, it’s way older than them
- “There’s a Level 6!?” if this is Level 5.5…
- Jeez, how bad has a guy be to be send to Level 6 (that people don’t even know exist)? To be erased from history, huh
- …Ivankov are telling a story of how Impel Down used to be even worse. Haha
- So Magellan had to put down his coworker (Shiryu of the Rain) who was killing prisoners for fun? Wow.
- Actually, I understand mentality of both wardens. I mean, nobody really cares about those prisoners, they’re there to die, so why not kill them for fun (if you’re a kind of guy who likes that stuff)? But also, professionalism! And maybe, just maybe, putting people who like unnecessary violence in charge of applying unnecessary violence wasn’t in fact such a brilliant idea. Add all the things place like Impel Down does mentally to ALL residents and you have a catastrophe
- Ivankov are giving me some Big Names who are/were imprisoned on Level 6 but there’s no chance I’ll remember it
- oh, Crocodile is there.
- WAIT. If Crocodile is there, it means Ace and Jimbei are there!
- aaaaaaa
- “Hey, weren’t you and Straw Hat enemies?” “That’s old news” haha :D
- yep, they’re on Level 6
- They’ll transport Ace in the morning! They have mere few hours before execution! And Luffy is still fighting for his life! How is it even supposed to work!!!!
- All they can do now is wait.
- And Bon Clay will wait next to Luffy. Goddammit, where did all that friendship and loyalty came from, holy shit
- “You can do it, Straw Boy! You can do it! You can do it!” this is amazing. Me and Ivankov are speechless
- …Bon Clay made everyone in the party encourage Luffy too. Power of Friendship, people
- Above them, warden are slowly realizing their problems aren’t solved at all. Below them, Ace is waiting for Luffy in anguish
- “My brother has always been foolhardy! Ever since he was a kid, I always had to worry about him! He’s a reckless idiot!” Ace. Ace, come on. Ace
- Eight hours passed.
- It’s time for Ace to leave. And Luffy stopped screaming
- shit, so much blood
- they think Luffy’s dead of course. BUT WE KNOW BETTER
- “Klang. Klang. KA-Chang.” :D
- …
„FOOD!” :D!! :D!!! :D!!!!
