Unfortunately, not in pirate. Because I'm just not that good, to fangirl in pirate 8D;

539-542

• I haven't been too active on the comms lately, but please, please, please tell me someone wrote about Iva and Dragon's whacky hijinks before Iva ended up in Impel Down. Or if the hijinks were the reason why Iva ended up there...
  
• Inazuma the Scissors-man? Oda, I love your brain XD Does this mean there's a Paper-man and a Rocks-man too? You know, though, I have infinite love for Inazuma, just because he can do all of this crazy running around and not spill a drop of wine XD
  
• Luffy's face omgggg I love it when he gets all serious and determined
  
• Crocodile's arms look kinda bizarrely skinny. Then again, he is missing his pimp coat, so I think that's why he looks so odd to me.
  
• ....please, please, please let Crocodile's secret weakness involve a secret love affair with Iva love of lacy undergarments. Pffft and he's already gotten himself a new pimp coat. Where did that come from? But woo sand-effect fighting again! \o/ I always did like the way Crocodile fights. Bitch to icon, though.
  
• Ahahaha Buggy and Mr 3 breaking everybody out XD XD XD
  
• DAS BONES WOOT FUCK YEAH COME WITH US! WE'RE BREAKING SHIT UP, BUSTIN' SOME HEADS, YOU WANT IN ON THIS, YOU KNOW YOU DO. I don't remember him having that scar over his eye before. Something to remember Zoro by? Nobody I know then pffft Luffy why so tactful?
  
• THEY'RE WEARING SOME KIND OF PROGRESSIVE OUTFITS. Because when I'm being attacked by a group of prisoners, I pay attention to their fashion trends XDDD BUT AWESOME ENDING PAGE IS AWESOME. FUCK YEAH PIRATE PRISONER GROUP.
  
• Probably meant to be tugging our heart-strings, but Ace looks really young to me here.
  
• Ahahaha Blackbeard with an honest-to-god "Blackbeard" or maybe it's just a bicorn. Not pointy enough for a tricorn.
  
  ....he hasn't always worn a hat, has he? I can't remember o.o
  
• WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE WHEN DID LAFITTE SPROUT WINGS?! WHAT THE HELL. I DON'T REMEMBER THAT.
  
• Pffft a return to the simplistic heads XD I love that Iva's is so much larger than everyone else's - his hair could eat everybody - and Crocodile's cigar XD XD
  
• Crocodile actually helping defeat strong enemies? Pffft dammit Oda why do you take horrible villains and make them look so bad-ass?
  

543-548

• Keh, I just got the Sadi-chan = sadist connection orz
  
• OH MY GOD I LOVE IVA. IVA IS JUST. MY HERO. There needs to be more kick-ass, gender-switching characters *__*
  
  ....I wonder who's Iva's VA. Or rather, if there will be two.
  
• The Dark Fire will not avail you, Flame of Udun! Go back to the Shadow! /been done before, most likely. But I had to.
  
• ...I do sort of like Hannybal's speech, given that, in all honesty, most pirates are/were horrible people who did commit horrendous acts of violence. But then he veers back into that black-and-white world view that a lot of the Marines seem to have - that meeting extreme violence with extreme violence is not only acceptable but respectable, and there can be no differentiating between what kinds of pirates there are - and that just always never sits right with me. Some day I'll be more coherent about that, but really, it irks me.
  
• And then Blackbeard comes in, sounding like he's criticizing Hannybal's speech, but he's the power-hungry ass who killed his own nakama for a Devil Fruit. Love the three panels that just sums up the "what the fuck angle is this guy playing"
  
• OH OH OH OH LUFFY VS BLACKBEARD OMG I DON'T CARE THAT THIS HAS PROBABLY BEEN RESOLVED BY NOW FOR EVERYONE WHO IS UP-TO-DATE BUT OMG. OMG. OMG
  
• NO DAMMIT JIMBEI! I WANT TO SEE A LUFFY VS. BLACKBEARD FIGHT! ARGH. CURSE YOUR LOGIC AND REASONING AND BREAKING-UP-THE-FIGHT...NESS.
  
• Crocodile and Teach lookin' pretty awesome there, guys. Crocodile also doesn't really...look like Oda's usual style.
  
• Argh, Teach what are you doing. Although I'm wondering if he's using the confusion to break someone else out of Impel Down/take it over for himself/steal something from there. He's like...chaotic evil/neutral? Or he's just reveling in the Pirate Age and becoming as powerful as he can be?
  
• NO IVA-SAN OMG WHY DID YOU FIGHT THE POISON GUY DON'T LEAVE ME ;___;
  
• Hahaha it's like Mr. 3's worst nightmare.
  
• OMG MISTER THREE FOR REAL?! AHAHA SICKENINGLY INFECTIOUS. Luffy's a disease :B
  
• ...Robin would join a freedom fighter group on her mini-arc. Oh man, I can't wait for them all to get back together. "So, what did you end up doing?" "Freed myself from capture again, and then freed a whole group of people." "Oh yeah? Well I found Vegapunk's house!" "Sanji, why are you so quiet?" "..."
  
  Who knows, maybe this will get him in-touch with his inner-woman and he can stop slobbering over all the girls.....naaaaaah.
  
• Instead of actual mecha, I will take wax! XDD Oda, sometimes I wonder how much of this you do just because you can. Luffy looks so happy to be able to hit someone XD
  
• Jimbei is just, awesome old man of the sea or something.
  
• ...Crocodile and Bones the new Zoro and Sanji?
  
  ...and Buggy is so Usopp.
  
• I also have a huge respect for the fact that Bon-chan can hold all of his Okama poses for so long. The guy is ridiculously limber! ...I mean, I know he has to be, but still. His balance is also amazing. /totes not jealous
  
• IVA!
  
  oh thank god ;;
  
• ......
  
  ......
  
  I...I have seen the glory that is the whale shark. AND THEY ARE AWESOME. And Magellan's faaace, he's all "dammit, what the hell dues ex machina is this, rescued by a bunch of freakin' whale sharks like this is Avatar with its mixed animals or something"
  
  ...although I think whale sharks actually exist? Or maybe not. Could have sworn there was some weird kind of whale that...ate sharks? Maybe? *head tilt*
  
  omgstillsocute
  
• Pfft love the reformed pirates. NEVER AGAIN SHALL WE RETURN TO OUR THIEVING WAYS. And Buggy's brilliant idea, pfffft. WE'RE BEING ATTACKED, SO, LIKE, LET'S...FIGHT BACK! XD Genius, how did you ever think of that.
  

BON-CHAN WHY DO YOU ALWAYS SACRIFICE YOURSELF. GOD DAMMIT, YOU CRAZY OKAMA, I HAVE SHED SO MANY DAMN TEARS OVER YOU, AND NOW I'VE GOT TO SOB MY HEART OUT SOME MORE. GOD, EVEN THE DEN-DEN MUSHI'S CRYING. DAMMIT.

YOU BETTER NOT BE DEAD. ;_______;

Now I'm gonna go listen to "Oh Come My Way" and console my bruised heart ;_; Look for another manga update soon!

Avengin' the many a sea-dog who perished 'gainst the silent, sneaky bastards, the battle be ragin' on...
