Haha, I figured her "disease" was something along those lines when she abruptly stood up after hearing Luffy was here to see her.

LOL. I was expecting that too, when she stood up.

I hope they take Margaret.

LOLed at Luffy getting poked, touched and stretch by all the girls... specially the one that was charging money for that...

So we finally getting the Impel Down saga. I wonder whats going on with the others...

Nami surrely can find her way around with Lola's mother vivre card... but what about the rest? Will they peacefully go back with Rayleight's vivre?

And what did Kuma tell Rayleigh... will it influence all the Straw Hats arriving to Impel Down to save Ace?

viva la ace!!! hopefully luffy learns something before leaving that island. Gears 2 and 3 are slowing down in the way of effectiveness

Yeah..well I got you all beat...
I figured it was that as soon as they said she had a sickness!

Basement scans suck, by the way....


Edit: So anyway....as I figured, Hancock's going to return to the marine ship to answer the schichibukai summons. I didn't expect Luffy to go with her though...

As for my next prediction....

So it seems Luffy's involvement with Ace's affairs is inevitable now. However, the more I think about it, the more significant this is going to become. We already know all the schichibukai will be there, as well as the marine admirals. At least 1 yonkou will show up (whitebeard), but we also can't rule out the possibility of a 2nd yonkou (shanks). Dragon, the world's most dangerous man, could appear as well.

As I see it, there are three main directions the story could go:

1) Ace is sent to Mariejoa, and Luffy + yonkou rescue him.
The problem with this is that all the schichibukai and admirals would have to be defeated. This would crush the world government's influence, and shatter the equilibrium, turning this into a new age of pirates. It would definitely be interesting, but there is far more of a backstory to the world government that would suggest they will be around for a long time.

2) Ace is sent to Mariejoa, is executed, and Luffy flees.
This creates a similar problem, in that at least one yonkou would end up defeated. The world government's influence would grow stronger, and once again would shatter the equilibrium.

3) Luffy rescues Ace at Impel Down. Ace never arrives at Mariejoa, and war is averted. In this scenario, the equilibrium is preserved.

I could realistically see any of these three happening, however 1 (and possibly 2) concerns me in the sense that it would be extremely hard to top such an epic battle, and it would likely mark a climax of the series. It could very well be the end of One Piece.

Edit 2: Actually the more I think about it, the more I'm starting to like option 2...

I knew it since the chapter title bitches.

I like the scenario of Dragon being there for his son. Last time we saw him he was in Loguetown, where Gol D. Roger was executed. It's only fitting that he shows up once again in an execution site.

Oh yeah? well i knew it since Boa said she likes Luffy at the end of the last chapter!

At first, i thought that Luffy and Boa would be a very odd match, but after thinking it over i realize that they would compliment each other rather well.

Boa doesn't trust most men due to her trauma of being a slave and believe that most men would rather save themselves. Luffy just happens to be one of the few men in the world who dares to harm a world noble without a second thought if he believes it is right.

They both share the rare "Haki" that only appear in 1/1,000,000 peoples. While Boa had been able to use it for a while now, she had yet to master the technique and Luffy has shown us that he is a very quick learner since he was able to learn Soru from the CP9 after only watching it a few times. Boa could definitely teach Luffy how to control his new abilities while Luffy might be able to grasp it much quicker and teach Boa how to master it.

Boa also fit the bill of having a horrible past like all the strawhats. While Boa character type might seem like it doesn't fit the Strawhat, Oda had surprised us before with new members (an Afro skeleton for example).

I just realized if Boa joins the crew Sanji is going to kill himself in knowing that she belongs to Luffy.

I thought this was interesting...

I wasn't sure if it was officially stated anywhere, but I suppose its to be expected that Hancock is considered the most beautiful woman in the series, eh?

I thought it was a side-effect of her Devil Fruit...

You're thinking of Alvida
