One Piece Manga Discussion: Scanlation/Translated Only

[RyougaZell]

I haven't seen the older chapters... but I found something interesting... not sure if any of you readed the manga during this time...

Hatchan's Sea-Floor Stroll (はっちゃんの海底散歩 Hacchan no Kaitei Sanpo), ch. 182–228 (40 installments)
Hatchan escapes from prison and travels the ocean, meeting a mermaid named Camie and starfish named Pappug. He is spurned by Octopako, the object of his affections, but later finds fulfillment in running a takoyaki stand.

So... we have a chance to see Hatchan/Hatchi again.

This was shown during the Alabasta Arc...

[Augury]

Yeah, I thought about that cover story too after she mentioned the takoyaki.

I really like One Piece during the in-between arc and beginning-of-arc chapters. Things really get bogged down once they switch over to fighting mode.

Chapter 491

Whose that in the Iron Mask I wonder? Could it be Belamy?

[Death BOO Z]

I think it's more the guy who attacked the kitchen ship, back when we got Sanji to join the party.
or it's Spandham, and he leveled-up his mask. there are quite alot of options, Luffy has been kicking ass for almost ten years now.

Whose that in the Iron Mask I wonder? Could it be Belamy?

The crosses along the visor area are the same as those on T-Bone's helmet IIRC. Maybe he got kidnapped after he got knocked in the water and something has caused his character to make a 180 in terms of honor.

[RyougaZell]

Hehehe... loved the way they bad-mouthed Hacchan saying it could not be him... they are in for a surprise all right...

Wonder how Nami will react to him though... he was the 'nicest' of them, but he was still part of Arlong's men... fishmen.

And the man on the Iron Mask... I do not think its Don Krieg, even if the armor somehow resembles him... because he believes in numbers, and this group does not look to have many... plus he was scared of the Grand Line because of Mihawk.

Spandam? only if he went on steroids or ate a devil fruit... because it has not been that long time wise since Ennies Lobby.

Bellamy? Now that is one possible dude. Because many he survived Doflamingo's attack, and got scarred, thus he now wears a metal mask or whatever.

Yeah... I think Bellamy.


Another option is Morgan Axe... since we only saw the mans left hand, plus he has something weird on the right shoulder.

[Assertn]

I'm pretty sure Doflamingo killed Bellamy.......

We're talking someone who...
1) Had encountered luffy
2) the consequence of which has ruined his life
3) is not currently dead or captured
4) has probably not been shown again sometime later without said iron mask (aka buggy)

To be different, and to follow the theme of resurrecting characters from the arlong arc, I'm going to say that weasely looking marine guy that gave luffy his first price on his head. (Knowing my luck, it will be Bellamy)

Anyway, that was seriously one of the funniest chapters of One Piece I ever read....

"Can you lend me some money?" - Brooke
"Do you poop?" - Luffy
"Even if we might die, we must save takoyaki!" - Luffy
"With Caimie around, we can have all the fish we can eat!" - Luffy
"Ah! The memory completely vanished!" - Chopper

[RyougaZell]

Nezumi? Nah... he is still a Marine. And who kicked his guts at the end was Nami.

But I do agree about Bellamy...

Now I strongly believe it is Hand-Axe Morgan... he did escape from Garp after all.

And yes, it was a very amusing chapter.

[Assertn]

I had considered captain morgan....but I thought coby and that blond guy recaptured him

[RyougaZell]

Noup. Coby and Helmeppo were not able to capture him. He escaped while Coby and Helmeppo were rescued from the ocean. After this was when both of them trained under Garp.

And technically... Luffy DID ruin his life when he defeated him.

[Carnage]

Yea when I first saw him I definitely thought it was Morgan. He is the one character from the beginning with the affiliation with Iron. The only other character I can recall with a similar emphasis would be the Steel Assassin guy from Alabasta arc, but I dont think its him, since this villain hates Luffy.

[RyougaZell]

The one you mention from Alabastra is Mr 1, and he was sent to Impel Down alongside Crocodile and Mr 2 Bon Clay.

[Death BOO Z]

aren't we missing something here?
the bad guy says that "this" is the ship he has been looking for, but the SH have this 1000sunny for barely a story arc. they aquired the ship after enies lobbies and been lost in thirlller bark ever since, so I guess that not too many people know about thier new ship, and information about it should be avaliable yet (for people outside the marine, at least).

I think we're going from the wrong angle, maybe he also wanted to get the wood from the "Adam" tree and lost his chance becuase of Franky? maybe becuase of franky's order another war started on adam island and this guy wants to avenge?

[Onineku]

i thought it was don krieg, and it wasnt the ship they were looking for, but the strawhat crew... which makes the fact of what ship it specifically is obsolete... as long as they recognised luffy... mermaid said the guy was looking for a specific dude all along...

+ don krieg allways had an affinity with iron... or at least alloys... and hed been to the grand line before...

[RyougaZell]

Don Krieg did not arrive to the Grand Line. Before entering Mihawk attacked him.


Alas... what Death BOO Z is also plausible... but this may be a problem of interpretation behind the translator... sadly we do not have anyone who can confirm 'this'

[poopdeville]

I'd love it if it was Arlong. Or Crocodile. Crocodile is even kind of plausible -- if he escaped from the Marines, he'd have to hide his identity to pull off any sort of plan. And Luffy definitely destroyed his ambition to become the pirate king.

[Carnage]

Crocodile and Arlong wouldn't wear an suite of Iron Armor.

[Onineku]

i'd spontaneously cum in my pants if it was buggy...

edit: or if it was the guy from choppers arc... the eating dude... forgot the name

[RyougaZell]

Wapol is the CEO of a Toy Factory.

[grrbrr]

I say its the guy who captured Zoro in the first volume, if i can remember he had an iron jaw or something and his son is now being trained under luffy's grandpa.
