Nice chapter, the Champion Luffy thing was hilarious. Although I'm still surprised that Luffy didn't attempt something similar in his first encounter with Magellan. And shame nothing was shown concerning BB or Shiryuu though.
The prediction for Luffy using Mr. 3's wax as armor came true, and the prediction of Jinbei providing an escape also did (although not by summoning a Sea King). Jinbei was pretty damn awesome in this chapter, he truly shines in the ocean. It's no surprise the chapter bears his name. The ministories are a bit too short for my taste, wish they had started up sooner and were elaborated upon more. |

Especially since I'm sure their ministories will be SO interesting. I know that when the crew comes back together, Zoro would have learned something AWESOME. I can't wait to see everyone together again.

Yep, as I expected, Jinbei's absolutely insane in the water. I still eagerly await the appearance of Ultimate Ocean Splitter in the coming chapters.
And once again I've gotta comment on how badass Buggy looked standing beside Croc and Daz. I'm still pretty sure that he'll pull off some awesome stunt during the battle against the marines. There would be no point in him teaming up with 2 Shichibukai and the el numero uno of Baroque Works if he didn't contribute to the ship hijacking plan in some way...... By the way, I found it pretty cool to see that the level 2 prisoners are helping Luffy and Mr. 3 fight Magellan. Sure, they'll probably get taken out in due time, but I still thought it was a neat moment, nonetheless. Seeing as Mr. 3 told Luffy that his wax will hold as long as there's no extreme heat, I wonder if Magellan plans to raise level 1's temperature to melt Luffy's armor? That would probably be the best course of action for the warden to take during the battle (maybe he can accomplish this by setting that forest on fire.....?). I still can't wait to see how the poison man will ultimately be finished off, though..... Yep, definitely an awesome chapter here! |

Sigh. I suppose you really enjoy seeing Buggy on screen . Who knows: Buggy may actually come back and really show us all what's what, but really he's been downgraded. He actually has lost a lot of his orignal style, come to think of it, seeing as I just read over the Buggy fight. He was actually pretty cool. Just that lost his shine to the cooler baddies who appeared after him. Personally, I think, in retrospect, that he could have been a pretty twisted villain if he'd gotten the chance.

Okay, who else here thinks that Luffy needs to pull out an afro?
But then he would be too overpowered, I guess? (Afro-Luffy + Champion-Luffy + Adrenaline-Luffy = pure and total win...) I'm still unsure why Luffy wasn't able to simply metabolize the poison, considering that Gear 2 forces the body into overdrive. |

Buggy is definitely out of his league here, and, as is befitting for a clown, is mostly used for comic relief. I did love his teamup with Mr. 3 though, and he did look pretty cool standing on the makeshift raft. Unfortunately for him, he came off looking quite uncool pretty soon afterwards.
By the way, it's nice to see another 'natural enemy' in terms of DF powers. Where Luffy was Enel's natural enemy, Mr. 3 is Magellan's, which is what Crocodile basically noted. If he wasn't so intimidated by Magellan, I'd say he could have made things difficult for Magellan on his own. Candle locks should still work fine, and with his full body wax armor he doesn't have alot of places for the venom to hit him. The main thing I guess he lacks is hand to hand combat skills. |

Buggy sure did look cool on the raft with crock mr 1 and jimbei
But I thought Mr. 3 would give luffy a full coat of wax armor not only wax his arms .. luffy can still be defeated his whole body is unprotected

With the wax, it completely becomes a different component, separate from the body. Anyway, I think Crocodile said something on why it worked, basically matching abilities (even though the way he was saying was more like comparing a mouse and an elephant). |

This looks like a chapter designed only to measure Jinbei's strength.Magellan looks like he is in trouble now.But the thing troubling me is : He has no chance to attack now that there is mr3 to prevent.Even the lesser prey is taking actions against him now and he is not saying anything...So according to shonen manga rule book, I say prepare yourself for some secret doku doku no mi tech that will melt through everything

So we end the chapter with just landing on a battleship after all that "content".....Pretty boring and slow.^^
And as I read every passing chapter it seems to me that the SH pirate's will be in this war....I'm still hoping they don't but right now it seems very likely and that would suck. |

F*cking awesome chapter, I didnt checked spoilers this week and wait really paid off! Nice for early release though. Jinbei is hardcore.... seriosly it was theorized that he would be unstoppable at sea and he truely is, he could decimate entire armada of ships in minute if he would want to. I dont think Croc can even try to betray Luffy now by attempting to steal ship because Jinbei would own him in instant. Mr.3 was GREAT in this chapter, hes ability truely synchronize well with Luffys gomu-gomu powers resulting the ultimate Candle Champion Luffy! Magellan is awesome and has truely shown that he is fit for chief-warden but I don't think he got much chance now Luffy means business and Mr.3 wax powers fixed his weakness against Magellan, together they will take Magellan down, not without fierce fight I believe. Can't forget Buggy either, its kinda shame that there was no double page image for Croc,Daz Bones and Buggy riding that raft storming towards Battleships, it would been awesome. Very content rich chapter even though we only had 17 pages this week, very much happened and Jinbeis full powers were revealed, more Croc is always awesome, Mr3+Luffy combo has been unleashed and battle over Warships are about to start with super flashy combo of Buggy/Crocodile/Daz Bones... Aaah shit can't wait for next chapter, this arc just wont slow down |
