PYAH! 1st post!

luffy will encounter more people now. I don't think he will make it to level three though.

can't wiat to get garp's reaction.

kadenza · 2009-01-13, 08:44

no summary yet? marvelB where art thou?

kari-no-sugata · 2009-01-13, 08:46

No spoilers at the usual suspects... Maybe we won't be getting anything until Wednesday.

Bari_Phillis · 2009-01-13, 09:49

yeah, arlong park is usually where it first shows up./

anyone know where it first first shows up?

I really want to see garp

marvelB · 2009-01-13, 10:11

Yep, no spoilers yet..... though there is a chance that they might arrive sometime today.

Anyway, I'm kinda hoping that we'll get introduced to the prison's warden this chapter, or at least get his silhouette. I'm till not entirely certain that we'll see Garp at Impel Down (and see him fighting Luffy, no less), but time will tell. After all, a lot of stuff can happen in 33 hours.....

Wargumm1i · 2009-01-13, 15:04

I think Luffy will get caught and will be executed along with his brother, but i think the person who will come too Luffy´s aid will be either Shanks or his Father.

Or he could just tag along with Ace and Whitebeared.

crescent_essence · 2009-01-13, 16:21

It's going to really get good when they bring in Crocodile and Mr 1. And then when they breach the 100 mil level. Crocodile, I know, is gonna be awesome. I LOVEd that guy back when he was in Alabaster arc.

Very powerful Logia user. Cool outfit to boot, and the classic, Mafia boss style. I loved him. And here he is again. I'm happy: this arc is building up to be something really good.

kayote · 2009-01-13, 16:59

this break really did come at the wrong time. it was building up sooo well and then the holidays had to come......damn!!! the new year

i can not wait to see what oda will pull out for the readers this week.

hope we get introduced to some new bad guys as well as the ones Luffy and the strawhats pawnd.

i keep thinking is the prison just for men or are woman in there too. cause i have yet to see any woman prisoners??

We probably won't be seeing many, or any for that matter, women imprisoned in Impel Down for the sole reason of Oda not liking to depict violence against women. The level of violence females are subjected to is substantially far less than that of the men in One Piece.

Luffy isn't weak.....how can he NOT make it to level 3?

Xeiros · 2009-01-13, 17:58

I assume he means that in this chapter, Luffy will not reach level 3 just yet.

marvelB · 2009-01-13, 18:56

Yeah, we had about 2 chapters devoted to level 1. Level 2 will probably be about 2-3 chapters, as well. However, I'm pretty sure that by the time we get to levels 3 or 4, we'll see a significantly increased amount of chapters focused on those floors. Heck, who knows just how many chapters will be spent on the floor(s) below level 5....

Mmm I say like 4-7 chapters on Level 2 and w/e # more on Level 3. Then a whole arc just for level 4 and 5. then another arc for the Whitebeard battle right in the middle.

:]

I'd be hoping that Luffy would battle within all the floors for the entire arc. It's ridiculous for you to sugest that there would be a different arc for the final two floors of impel down when this current arc focuses on impel down in it's entirety.

No like since the chapters are gonna increase as luffy goes deeper. so lv 4 and 5 in itself is gonna be an arc itself.

And I say that ALL levels of impel down will be focused for this entire arc no matter how many chapters are put into each floor. So it wouldn't make sense to split the story at impel down into seperate arcs if we reach levels 4 and 5.

< "That's just stupid."

......nevermind.

marvelB · 2009-01-14, 02:17

Still no summary yet, however.....

Spoiler:

Yep, looks like all of those 2-week breaks paid off after all.

Edit: Okay, there's a small summary out:

-Luffy and Buggy encounter a basilisk in level 2. Looking at the pics, it looks like Luffy goes Gear 3 on that sucka.

-Luffy meets with Mr. 3. He accompanies Luffy and Buggy to level 3.

-Hancock meets with the warden Magellan (yay, my hopes came true!

Judging from that pic of him he looks like a gargoyle....). Magellan has the powers of the doku doku (poison) fruit. He can emit poison gas from his mouth. Hancock uses her Mero Mero powers on him (lol) so he can take her to Ace as soon as possible.

-Jinbei is locked up with Ace in level 5. Like Ace, he's also at death's border, but says that he doesn't mind dying if it will prevent the war from coming to pass.....

Ha ha ha,,,, wow. I love the designs for Jinbei and Magellan. Jinbei most definitely looks one fierce mofo. And... a poison fruit? That's some pretty hardcore s*** right there. And geez, Luffy got through level 2 faster than level 1! Guess Oda is really eager to show off the more crazier levels if that's the case. Well, I'm most definitely looking forward to the full chapter now!

aohige · 2009-01-14, 03:23

Since it looks like AP's down, I'll post here.
Himajin's summary.

Quote:

Chapter 528: Jinbei of the Strait

A Basilisk stands in the way of Luffy.

Meanwhile, Hancock meets the Warden.
Magellan is a devil-fruit user of Poison-Poison fruit.
His breaths are poisounous.

Because it looked like Luffy's presence was only a matter of time to be discovered,
she attemps to seduce Magellan and asked to go see Ace soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Luffy defeats the Basilisk and opens the cell door. The prisoners rejoice.
He meets Mr3 again, and Mr3 guides him the direction to Lv3.

Meanwhile, We get to see Jinbei. He's in the same room as Ace.
Jinbei called Ace with "san", showing respect.

@marvelB
There's nothing about Mr3's real name in either the summary or the pics.
Luffy just realizes who he is when he sees the hair, and called him "3 (san)" instead of "three", which Mr3 corrects.
Nor do I see anything about Mr2, he simply offers to guide Luffy to Lv3 to repay the favor.
You're reading a unconfirmed random post, that differs a lot from Himajin's spoilers.
I wouldn't throw that in with Himajin's mix dude... That's how fake rumors gets spread. So watch it.
