| I'm shocked...no, I'm past shocked. I'm in a state of numbness. Blackbeard at Impel Down!? What!? Seriously, did anyone actually think this was a path Oda would take? Anyway, here's what I'm thinking: 1) Obviously, Sengoku did not know the Blackbeard was at Impel Down, so that takes away any notion that the WG sent him to deal with the chaos that is ensuing at ID. Plus, I think that the WG still thinks that Magellan took care of Luffy and do not know the current status of chaos it in. 2) This then leads to the question, why exactly is he there. This is my prediction. He's there to recruit Shiryuu to his crew. I may be over thinking this bit, but Blackbeard is there with his entire crew! Why would be bring his whole crew there? I think that he somehow learned about Shiryuu being bottled up in ID with his access to knowledge by being a Shichibukai and wants to bolster his ranks. Remember, Blackbeard also extended an invitation to Ace to join his crew before he took him down. With Shiryuu being kind of the rebel child and supposedly being extremely strong, it would make sense Blackbeard wants him as part of his crew to help take down WB....or whatever his ultimate goal is. Of course, I'm probably totally way off here, but I thought I'd share my thoughts and see what other people think. 3) I'm getting kind of giddy of the possibility in seeing Luffy and Blackbeard meet face to face (though I don't think they'll battle each other). |
| Simply amazing... seriously, I don't know what to say... week after week after week Oda leaves me speechless with an amazing chapter...

Good idea, this would certainly make Blackbeard and his crew much more interesting than they already are. And also would draw another paralel between Luffy's and Blackbeard's crew (since so many people think they both have the same kind of fighters, we would now have an "strenght based" swordsman to fight Zoro). Also, nice to see Crocodile kicking some ass. He was being treated as a weakling by many since Luffy defeated him. |

| Fucking epic epic epic. Yet again epic. Blackbeard just comes out of nowhere. I suspect he either wants to confront Luffy himself or add someone who's currently in prison to his crew. It just so happens that Luffy's whole attack in Impel Down makes it much easier to infiltrate since they're all distracted. *Patiently waits for next week* |
 |
| heh. double post. |

| Holy shit I did not see this coming.... Blackbeard in Impel Down? What could he possibly want there? You have a very nice prediction, Vindemon , he could really be looking for more crew members. But really, it could be anything! :O Also it's just awesome to see that Luffy is as strong as Crocodile and Jimbei hehe. Anyway, Oda... how will you surprise us next week? >3 |
     |
| Complete chaos, and totally unpredictable. Yet still freaking awesome! This is why I love One Piece folks! You can NOT predict the crazy stuff Oda has in mind for us. But it is always great. Take Lafitte for example. First Oda tells us there are 5 fruits that allow the user to fly Then he has Lafitte suddenly appear on a balcony at the WG Now he tells us Lafitte is one of the people who can fly. Also take a look at the time between those chapters. Oda has his shit planned ahead thoroughly and it makes One Piece all the more awesome! |
 |
| damn good chapter but y blackbeard there weird so will it finally be a match i wanted to see blackbeard vs.luffy i sure hope so^^ |
 |
| If there wasn't enough with Luffy, Jimbei, Crocodile, Buggy, Mr.2, Mr.3 and the rest of the prisoners rampaging through Impel Down, here had to come Blackbeard!! One Piece never ceases to amaze me. Who would have expected (realistically) this would happen?? ALso, the amount of things happening in only 1 chapter is very impressive! You just have to compare the amount of content of 1 chapter of One Piece to any other weekly series to notice how much more compact the story is in One Piece, how many more things happen... in exactly the same number of pages!! Those who also read Bleach know precisely what I'm talking about... In Bleach, even 100 pages don't make up to one One Piece chapter, sadly. |
 My Claims: |
| LOL!! Kurohege has the greatest timing ever!! I'm starting to pity Senguko, he has so much shit to deal with XD |
| "Every man shall reap what he has sown, from the highest lord to the lowest gutter rat. And some will lose more than the tips off their fingers, I promise you. They have made my kingdom bleed, and I do not forget that" |
| first time seeing shiryuu, and now blackbeard shows up just decimating the marine forces; and luffy and co. take out more of the guards including the giant demon animals, awesome! |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| So Blackberad joins the madness, will be interesting seeing how he will act. |
| Man, didn't see Blackbeard showing up at Impel Down either. It was nice to see Croc, Jinbei and Luffy kick some ass again. Awesome chapter as always :D |
     |
| I wana see what Shiryuu can really do with his sword. He seems to be stronger than Magellan, or at least on par. I think the entire of Luffy's 'crew' would have to work together to take down Magellan and it would still be a tough fight, I still don't see how its possible to win a guy made purely of poison. |
| Ace looked pretty calm, although he is going to his death. Just like Roger, Luffy and everyone else with D. And on the next page, there is total chaos! :D Poor Sengoku, poor Hannyabal... Oda has said that it will take a whole year to finish Impel Down arc, but now I'm starting seriously doubt it. It will take several years to finish this mess! I thought this was already complicated with Strawhats separation, Ace's excecution, Whitebeard's attack, Impel Down infiltration/escape, revolutionists etc. and now we can add Blackbeard and Shiryuu in. What a mess! :D |
 |
| Oda continues to amaze me. There's chaos and many characters being thrown in, but he is still able to manage it correctly and not overdo things. Didn't see Blackbeard coming. I see that his plans to be Pirate King are falling into place very nicely. 1) Be a Shichibukai to prevent Marines from going after his head. 2) Instigate a war that will involve Whitebeard pirates and the World Govt n Marines. The outcome of the war will certainly weaken both parties. 3) Then, in midst of the chaos, recruit strong crew members at Impel Down |

I hope that we won't have to wait another year to see the rest of the crew members again..I don't see how it's possible for them to get inside Impel Down if they go there at all(maybe slip through the chaos?:P)..Well, this is Oda sensei, he will think of something xD |
| Amazing. That's all i can even utter [type ^^'] |
 |
| I am absolutely loving the Luffy, Jimbei and Crocodile combination!! Good to see all of them taking action. Ass for Blackbeard appearing at Impel Down? Honestly I didn't see that coming. I have a feeling he's there for Luffy. I would like to see that confrontation. Oda you are a frickin genius! |
    |
| I also see that coming as Blackbeard wanting to recruit Shiryuu as it the size of Shiryuu is also big, that it really is intended for him to become one of the Blackbeard pirates. I'm really amazed how Oda puts it like that. It's already complicated, yet he still wants it to get complex!! Hahaha! LOL! Love it. |
     |
| INTERESTING!! Blackbeard & Shiryuu , Let's see what those two are planning to do. |
| woah blackbear really surprised me here. but the 3 combo arent really bad. wont surprise me if croc join luffy in the ned. |
     |
| Last pages were epic shit man. Actually, the chapter was fucking bomb too. |

Honestly that might be the most interesting thing to me in this chapter. Ever since his introduction I've been really wanting to see more of Lafitte. To see that he is one of the few with the ability of flight is quite satisfying. |

| Really good chapter. My first thought about Blackbeards intensions are that he's there to recruit Shinryu, but that seems kind of obvious in one way and we all know Oda. I don't think Luffy will fight Blackbeard either. gah im getting psyched! |
| In nomine Patri. Et Fili. Spiritus Sancti. |
zerron said: Luffy doesn't stand a chance against Bleackbeard right now. That's true. But threre's no need for Luffy and Blackbeard to clash yet. Blackbeard wanted to capture Luffy since he needed prove his power to Marines. Now he is already a Shichibukai. And Luffy is in hurry to save Ace. Only reason why they would start a fight would be if Luffy hears that it was Blackbeard who arrested Ace. |
| |
| Only thing i want to know is wat the hell blackbeard is gonna do oO |
     |
| Recruiting new members seems like the best explanation. To be a dog of the marines doesn't suit him really, he's a true pirate after all, although evil. |
| WTF?, i seriosly don't understand what happen to shirriu, he don't fight with blackbeard. or he only leave him to pass. And Magellan has waiting Luffy in the gate, is possible that blackbeard finished Magellan so easily. i don't think that but the escapes of Impel dowm, is gonna be bad for luffy and his party. And Ivankof is beautiful, she make herself wonderful to fight back sadi-chan,, that's gonna be a spectacular fight.  |

 |
| Wow, wonder why Blackbeard showed up. And I knew Shiryuu would betray them just to slice someone. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
Gunbladewarrior said: Kubo's problem is that he seems somewhat better suited to being a novelist then doing a weekly serial. As he himself has said he knows where he is and where he wants to get to but in order to buy himself time to get there he introduces loads of characters and uses them to stall. Then he has to use those characters. If he was a novelist his deadline would not be as strict and he could take his time to come up with plot as needed.SoraKing said: Those who also read Bleach know precisely what I'm talking about...

| Sengoku has to deal with a lot of shit didn't expect blackbeard to show up he is properly trying to recruit someone. |

| Epic chapter!! It was awesome how Luffy, Jinbe and Crocodile beat the Demon Beast Guards! Also, the SBS was funny, lol at Oda's advice on studying. |
If you don't like me, acquire some taste |
| You can never trust Teach. |
 |
| The 3 monsters beast, DEFEAT!!! lol Easy for those " monster" of the level 4!!! kekeke |
| Shiryuu would still probably want to stop the prison breakers. The only reason he attacked those gaolers was maybe he's having an itch to slice someone. He's been in that jail for a long time after all. |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
| I reckon Blackbeard is there to expand his crew. |
 |
| What is Blackbeard doing!? he's supposed to be a shichibukai but he's just defeating all of the guards? Also I really wanna see Jinbe fight underwater now! if he's strong up here imagine down there!!! |
| Between this and the small alliance he had on Sabaody, it's been really refreshing to see Luffy work with ppl other than the strawhats!! I believe they can save Ace but idk what Blackbeard is gonna do.. :o |
