Anyways, if you still don't agree with me, I don't really care to be honest. If you reply to me about this matter again, I'll only provide you with a few examples to show you that bounties serving as an approximate indication of strength simply doesn't work. It is quite a flawed system when it comes to strength. Beyond that, I won't bother to try and persuade you to understand my valid reasoning. It seems like we've been getting newcomers on this forum who are stubborn and like to argue just for the sake of arguing, even when they are presented with well detailed evidence to suggest that they're wrong.

^Was that a self-referential jab....
Joking aside, this chapter was fun, and it moved the story along quite nicely. I'm predcting 2 chapters, at most, before the climax of Impel Down starts. Specifically, before the Magellan v. Luffy fight officially starts. Last edited by james0246; 2009-06-07 at 17:14. |

I am very curious to see if Blackbeard shrugs Magellan's poison off.

Good point. I guess it isn't the old characters appearing that bothers me, but rather that many of the other prisoners of Impel Down seem generic and the old characters stand out so much. Mr 3 was the only one on level 2 who attempted escape before the Sphinx was defeated. Other prisoners should also have devil fruit powers and be strong, so I would think he wouldn't stand out so much on his floor. Similar with Buggy just happening to be escaping at exactly the moment to run into Luffy. More than that, it annoys me that Luffy is kind of at a low point with all his losses lately and loss of his crew, and yet he is sailing through Impel Down itself by pure "main character" luck and family name and moving up to higher and higher weight classes.

I disagree. I think criticizing helps me enjoy things even more. If I didn't criticize, that wouldn't make me enjoy it any more. But I wouldn't know why, it would just be a mysterious sense of disappointment and I would have nothing to look forward to. However, by writing down some specific things I don't like, it is no longer mysterious, and I can let those things go as much as possible and look forward to when the things I don't like will end (which I expect will be very soon). I also criticize because I like the art of storytelling itself, and I like thinking about what works and doesn't work. |

Well, we've been shown 4 zoan fruit users, the guardians, Magellan's Poison Fruit, Inazuma's Scissors, Iwa's Hormones, we learnt of someone who had a digging fruit. On top of that we had like 8 old characters with Devil Fruit abilities, Luffy, Hancock, Mr 0, 1, 2, 3, Ace and Buggy. Then Black Beard came crashing in with his ability and Lafitte may also have an ability for those wings.
We're actually shown almost 20 devil fruit users in this single arc that's not complete, I'm not sure if even Oda can fill in more. Criticism does promote discussion if applied correctly and if the critic himself is up for discussion. If a critic's mind is not open and doesn't have any intention of viewing in other perspectives, that criticism ends up as nothing. Anyway I'm also interested in what Shiryu is up to, could he be just a one dimensional character who just enjoys killing, or could he have some greater intention? Could Magellan actually be wrong in letting him out?

I agree with you ID has many good points as well. I never said it was terrible, even the worst chapter of OP is better than most mangas. |

Though, again, it goes back to our preconceived notions regarding the jail. Originally, I expect that most of us would have assumed that the majority of the prisoners would have been DF wielders (and the few regular pirates that can stand up to DF wielders). Quote:

[QUOTE=grey_1960;2440739]I always wondered what happend to captains who battle Kizaru on the Island. I wonder if they were sent to Impel Down?QUOTE]
i think kizaru left them alone after sentomarou called him,there main mission was to stop the 3 top supernova,luffy,kidd and law. he did what he did to the other 4 supernovas just bcos he was bored,so i think after sentomraou called him he just forgot about them and went on his way to meet up with sentomarou... |

You know better than anybody, Phenomenal don't debate, my scan/quote obliges...
I just pray to God that Magellan's plan is to move the battleships AWAY from ID so Luffy does not get off..... Hopefully next week One Piece will pick up... Last edited by Phenomenal; 2009-06-07 at 21:52. |

That is correct. Arlong was arrested, but it was only mentioned that he was in prison. Since we haven't seen him in Impel Down, I guess it's safe to assume that he is in confinement elsewhere at the moment.
