241 on a ship, I guess that's reasonable with a ship that size.

Let's hope Blackbeard gives him a chance to escape.

what an amazing chapter!

Bon-chan won't die, right? He won't, he won't! We will see him again, Oda sensei, right?

And now the Impel Down arc has officially ended.

YAY, let's save Ace!

And with this...it seems like the Impel Down arc has finally come to an end. And what a hell of a ride it's been. Seriously, as this manga keeps going and going, Oda just keeps on improving on the previous arc. Is there an author like him that does that? No...every other manga (especially shounen) largely falls into the trap of worsening as they extend the plot. But not this story.

And man, does my respect just blossom of Bon Clay seeing him in action after this arc. This truly just may be the last time we see him (that is, unless Blackbeard works his behind the scene magic and inadvertently saves him as he escapes ID...because, as we all know, Blackbeard and Shiryuu are definitely going to be coming back into the story down the road.

Now the question remains...with only 4 hours remaining till the execution, can Luffy and co. make it in time?

My thoughts of the chapter summed up eloquently in in four words.
'Fucking Fuck Shit Fuck'
Tears were shed. Tears of (wo)manliness. Bon-chan, here's to ya. We'll miss you. *raises glass*

Oda, you are truly a master of storytelling, I love you, but this crossed the line a bit too much for me. Continue doing excellent work for him ;_;

Bon-chan is now the Manliest transvestite I have ever seen. Man, after all this bounties are probably going to be raised. Alot. Especially Luffy's.
Now on to save Ace. I really hope Whitebeard shows up (most likely making an epic entrance)

Yes. I think this is true. I think Oda did something absolutely momentous in this chapter: show us a template of how someone dies in One Piece. I mean, this is not like Pell, who many people think miraculously survived. But it wasn't Oda outright 'killing' him, it was that the circumstances made it very unlikely that he survived.

But Mr. 2 is different. This chapter is really in most aspects similar to Going Merry's death. Especially with the overall sadness over his death, and Luffy's thanks to go with it. Plus there's the poem celebrating his life.

Magellan has been said to use lethal poison, a variety of which would have so single cure. Magellan even asked Bon-Clay if he has any last words.

Some people may be wondering if Bon Clay is going to die. I really think he's not. I think he's dead. And his death (and life) is great - if anyone were to die in One Piece, this is how Oda should do it.

Lastly, I think this will become one of the major turning points in One Piece, not just in the arc, but in the whole manga. It just seemed such a larger-than-life moment, one with many ramiifications for everyone especially Luffy.

One of the best chapters indeed.

Damn you Oda, I really believed that characters won't die unless it's Strawhat crew members' past.

See you, Bon-chan, in okama fields filled with happiness and pink flowers. Rest in peace.

Even if Bon-chan should be dead, I honestly think that Oda doesn't have the balls to kill off his characters. He even said in one of him interviews that he didn't like killing off his main characters. Pell should have died, he took a fucking bomb intended to kill 5km of town, took a direct hit from it, and lived. That still pisses me off even now.

^^ Pell should have died, given the circumstances, but Oda never killed him off like he did to Bon-chan in this chapter. If Bon-chan doesn't die, then it's definite Oda will never kill anyone off.

I was hoping so too, he always does so much for whoever he considers nakama...

If he uses his mane mane no mi to transform to one of the gaol warden, he can still try to escape Magellan... ?! *thinking of a lot of way for him to escape*

I don't think the arc is over just yet. Because they left the gaol doesn't mean they're through. Oda even said so on the final page: "But the Impel Down incident didn't end there." I'm guessing that Clay is going to find some way out (because Oda doesn't believe in killing off characters, even villains. He even said he prefers for the villains to live and witness their own dreams being shattered by the heroes).

But what a way to bid farewell to Bon Clay. *salute* For the Okama Way.

I figure what Oda meant by that is the fact that Luffy and co. still need to raid the Marine HQ and rescue Ace, hence the event still not being done. But hey, you do bring up a good point. After all, Blackbeard and Shiryuu are still in Impel Down, and we definitely know they'll be up to something. Plus, Blackbeard did say that he was up to something that was going to shake the world, as he said a few chapters ago.

On an unrelated note, who was the lone person who voted 4/5 of this chapter? Boo...

^^ Yeah you're right. But Luffy is out of the prison, so Impel Down arc is over (like water 7). Those things can happen later.
