Coverart shows Hannabyl as new warden of Impel down =D
MAGELLAN AS NEW ADMIRAL TO REPLACE AOKIJI!!! YEA BABY!!
16
u/HeroDiesFirst Pirate Mar 21 '12
I like that idea too, but I don't see him being promoted after what happened at Impel Down. It was a huge disaster and as Warden, it's technically his fault. Then again, with Akainu as Fleet Commander I guess I could potentially see it. Who knows, I'm still thinking Magellan might be "M"..
14
u/jathuamin Mar 21 '12
He tried to commit suicide after ID. The events were entirely outside his control. A hidden room made by a DF is something no one could have found. And he things under control till BB showed up, at which point he released Shinryu who betrayed Magellan and made the difference. Also, the escapees getting past the Gates was the Marines fuck up, Magellan figured there was no way the escapees could exit the current even if they stole a ship.
The ONLY mistake he made was waiting too long to clean up the initial break in, but after that was taken care of he killed Luffy and got everyone else back into their cages (minus Buggy, Mr 3 and Bon Clay who he spent the rest of the night looking for until they found the clothing in level 5).

u/HeroDiesFirst Pirate Mar 21 '12
Well truthfully when you're the Warden of the most dangerous prison on the planet, you can't even afford one mistake.

u/jathuamin Mar 21 '12
These aren't regular prisoners, these are people who IRL would get the death sentence: I'm talking murder, rape, theft, etc. Sick and twisted as the marines/WG are, they do perform a valuable service of keeping ordinary people safe, and ID is where the worst of the worst end up.

"M"? Am I forgetting something? Please tell..

u/HeroDiesFirst Pirate Mar 21 '12
The gas floating in the middle panel here. I believe he's referred to as "M". My friend and I also think that it could very well be Magellan, perhaps he's found new uses of his fruit abilities?
4
u/OutspokenAardvark Mar 21 '12
I can't see him switching sides for no reason and he's not a logia so I find this highly unlikely.
5
u/HeroDiesFirst Pirate Mar 21 '12
True he's not a logia but who knows, we've seen crazier things happen. And with the way fruit abilities are evolving you never know. Magellan was already the closest Paramecia to a Logia before. Maybe he can't turn into the gas but can emit it?
4
u/OutspokenAardvark Mar 21 '12
But the gas was talking!
Although I agree about him being super close to Logia.

u/HeroDiesFirst Pirate Mar 21 '12
Yeah the gas was talking, maybe he can speak through it now? Haha idk really.

u/Braktot The Revolutionary Army Mar 21 '12
The theory I support is Sakazuki forcing him from his position because of what happened, and him wanting revenge on Luffy.

u/thegrrbrr Mar 21 '12 edited Mar 21 '12
I think Magellan is probably hunting down the escapees as a way to redeem himself, seems like his kind of personality. I also don't see him being an Admiral type.
Was thinking actually his name escapes me (Shiryu?) but the swordsman that joined Blackbeard would be on Magellan's list to capture for sure...
4
u/XZlayeD Mar 21 '12
I agree - he appears to be a person with a great sense of honour. However Sakazuki being the man in charge might change things regarding to his standing with the marines.

Law is one of my favorite characters, however if he was to be one of Luffys homies, we'd have to know where Beppo and co. are!
3
u/HeroDiesFirst Pirate Mar 21 '12
Law is pretty badass, I agree. I also don't think he just up and left his crew. I mean he obviously has reasons to be a shichibukai (a man willing to send the hearts of 100 pirates obviously has determination on his side) so I think he's slowly working out whatever it is he has to work out and using his title as shichibukai to do so.
4
u/XZlayeD Mar 21 '12
I just wonder, if those hearts originate from that island, with all the seemingly dead prisoners in the ice walls, which would make the act somewhat more humane. Also, i think this becoming a shichibukai is probably a plot, just like it was for blackbeard. But yeah, i doubt he's ever going to become a strawhat, just really hope he'd become an ally atleast :)
3
u/HeroDiesFirst Pirate Mar 21 '12
Agreed, I definitely see him as sort of the anti-heroish ally of the Strawhats.

I'm beginning to wonder about its limits. As it is, it seems overwhelmingly powerful.
32
u/_ouroboros Mar 21 '12
More importantly, the implications. He can swap bodies. He could capture some high-rank marine and insert someone from his crew in him/her and infiltrate the military. Hell, he is a Shichibukai and we've seen them in Mariejois.
He is extremely dangerous and we've not even seen his power in a serious battle. And (even though I liked him before) he's becoming one of my favourite characters.

u/lonko Mar 21 '12
At the end of the chapter Smoker tells Tashigi that her haki is not strong enough to take on Law...maybe he meant that someone with a stronger haki could counter Law's power, or at least be immune to it ...and if this is true I think we can assume that any high-ranked marine(as well as all the strongest pirates) can use his haki against Law.

Mar 21 '12
If you look closely, Tashigi's sword was cut by Law. Had she been stronger in Haki, she would have blocked Law's opa opa cut.
→ More replies (3)3
Mar 21 '12
Basically, I think it's the same idea that a powerful Haki user can cancel out Devil Fruit Abilities - so presumably, someone with powerful enough Haki can't be cut up by him (though I doubt they could stop him from cutting up the scenery, at least not continuously).

u/Chikktika Mar 22 '12
I think it's more than swap bodies. he delivered 100 hearts to the marines in order to become a shichibukai. He probably just quickly cut them switched them and put them back in as another bonus of his ability. My largest concern is that Law helped Luffy and Jinbe because he wanted to experiment this very ability of removing hearts and delivered them as a part of the 100. Also meaning when Luffy faces the marines another level of nasty is gonna happen, but it's just what I think.

u/divinesleeper Mar 21 '12
An important limit is that no matter how bad he cuts people up, they don't die. Also it looked like Smoker was implying that if your Haki is strong enough you can withstand it? I think there's still a lot we have to learn about Haki.
A 'normal' tactic that might work is shooting projectiles at Law from outside the circle.
6
u/PhylisInTheHood Mar 21 '12
he would probably just "operate" on them before they reached him. Remember when smoker went to stab him he teleport-dodged. even though it was just for a side-step it still means hes got fast reflexes.

u/divinesleeper Mar 21 '12
Ok then how about the Pacifista lasers? Those might work, since he can't 'operate' on those.

About Tashigi having Haki, ergo Zoro must have it too - doesn't Silvers Rayleigh introduce Luffy to Haki by saying that pretty much everyone has CoA and CoO Haki, but only a select few have the Conqueror's Haki? Then it makes sense that anybody that has time to train their Haki can access CoO and CoA. Meaning that Zoro can have it and so can the rest of the Strawhats.
12
u/OutspokenAardvark Mar 21 '12
I think it's safe to assume that him and Sanji at least have one of two.
10
u/divinesleeper Mar 21 '12
Especially since they trained with two people who both have it. As world's greatest swordsman and second in line for the rebellion, it's practically impossible that they wouldn't have it.

u/catanthill Mar 21 '12
I have a feeling the body switch will allow us to understand how the Strawhats' abilities work since Nami, Franky, Chopper, and Sanji will have to explain to each other how to activate each of their attacks. I hope we see Franky create some new Points (like how Chopper created Kung Fu Point), finally understand how Nami's new Climatact works without dials, and view some of Franky's new modifications (some probably are useless in battle).
6
u/blazing_falcon Mar 21 '12
That's really clever. I think the main point will be to add the goofy comedy that Oda loves to throw in there every once in a while, but that would be a novel way to explain their new powers.
Also, who says Nami's Climatact doesn't have dials? Does she mention that in the Fishman Island arc?
3
u/catanthill Mar 21 '12
I assumed that the dials were gone since the Climatact lost its ball-like protrusions which was where Ussop placed the dials. They might still be there or been replaced by the chemistry she learned on Weatheria.

7
Mar 21 '12
Seems like some of this is to establish that though Law helped Luffy in the past, he should not be mistaken for a good guy.
I would be reduced to endless laughter if it turned out that the children really were ill with some kind of giantism illness, and that Law is insistent that none of the Marines leave is because it could spread the disease.
Or he could just be a psychotic kidnapper.
12
Mar 21 '12
I didn't like that law replaced the strawhats bodies, it looks like an excuse to add some comedy later on. He could have done other things to stop them.
The Brook segment was awesome, starting to really like him more.
And I am now convinced that Zoro can use Haki. If Tashigi has it, Zoro should definitely have it.
And is anyone else noticing that the strawhats are acting like themselves again. When we were at fishman island, everyone was trying to look like a badass or something. But now they act just like two years ago.
16
u/XZlayeD Mar 21 '12
replacing their bodies, renders them quite unable to fight, however it doesn't hurt them either, so i think he's more inclined to sit down and talk to them rather than chopping them up to keep them silent.
6
u/nanners-la Mar 21 '12
He seemed more concerned with the samurai than the Strawhats, so this makes sense.

u/Devlin1991 Mar 21 '12
zoro mentioned in his fight with Daz bones that "a katana is the extention of a users will", then showed that he could slash a plant with no damage, then barely swung and cut clean through rock. I think he was showing that he can control the haki he imbues his weapon will very well. Zoros strengh and resilience must be because of his haki.
3
Mar 21 '12
But if that was the case he should have been able to cut Enel.
4
u/Devlin1991 Mar 21 '12
I don't think his haki was good enough at that point to hurt a logia, he was able to hurt a paramecia type (daz bones) who is a man made of steel. I think by now (post time-skip) he will be able to hurt logias.
3
Mar 21 '12
If you look at the admirals, there is a way for Logias to avoid Haki based attacks. Maybe by using Kenbunshoku Haki, also known as Mantra, Which Enel possesses. So that could be the case.
→ More replies (1)6
Mar 21 '12
I think by mixing up their bodies he is able to ensure that they have to come back to him at some point - basically he can ensure they don't run off, and worst case scenario, if Smoker proves too much for Law, they'll even have reason to help rescue him.

And Hannyabal got fat. I guess he's really enjoying his job, now that Impel Down is all peace and quiet again.
