Hm... Magellan is proving to be tougher than expected. No sign of Blackbeard either... I wonder what will happen with all the poisoned characters.
Looks like the cover stories are going to be rather short. This could have dire repercussions on Sanji's personality (!)
Sanji probably learnt Okama-Kenpo. But... will he remain an Okama? Lolz
Robin is ready to escape. Nice.
They said 14 small stories. Two are of Sanji and one of Robin. Does that mean most of them will get 2 covers and some just 1?
Magellan is indeed powerful... and as hard as it seems for him to be defeated... I don't like the fact they keep escaping and leaving powerful opponents behind undefeated (Kizaru, Sentomarou, Kuma, Magellan)
Loved the reaction of Mr3 and Buggy upon seeing Crocodile and Jimbei alongside Luffy.
A lot of stuff happened this chapter. Looks like Iva-chan and Crab-chan are dead.
According to the narrator, Shiryuu betrayed the Marines. He's going to have to join a pirate crew or die.
"After all, I am strangely colored."
This is one piece, so obviously ivankov and inasuma won't die. My guess is that Blackbeard's power will allow him to suck out the poison from everything, and he is going to undo all the damage Magellan did.

Somebody's been reading too much Naruto....
"After all, I am strangely colored."
Being cured is nowhere near the level of being resurrected. Besides, if that wasn't in BB's capacity to do so, then how would he be able to save even himself and his crew?

I agree.Originally Posted by Assertn
There is simply too much hype behind BlackBeard for he to die just like that. He'll probably say some thing along the words of 'dreams' (as he told Luffy before Sky Island) and save them. Then go an fulfill his purpose. I don't think it was Shinryuu, otherwise he would have left with him before.
Did his crew get splattered? I didn't notice. (Ha, yes I did, I just forgot. Good point)Originally Posted by Assertn
I figured he would touch Magellan, negate his power, and punch him in the face until Magellan keeled over, like I imagined he did with Ace...
Edit: I also noticed Blackbeard said his plan wasn't going smoothly, when he was talking to Crocodile last chapter. (I mention it since everybody seems interested in Blackbeard)
But come to think of it, Blackbeard's plan doesn't seem so great to me. Unless the Dark-Dark fruit has another "fundamental" power, like the one Assertn suggested. Merely suppressing other Devil's Fruits isn't the amazing power it first appears -- Garp and Raleigh can do it too.
I am not denying that Blackbeard (or Garp or Raleigh) are epically strong. I'm just saying it's weird that Blackbeard would base his plan around what other people can already do.

"After all, I am strangely colored."
There's a big difference in totally suppressing a person's powers and just being able to override them and make contact. Only Blackbeard and ocean/sea-stone have shown an ability to actually suppress powers. If you completely take away a fruit users abilties most of them are going to be completely worthless. They rely on the fruit and have almost no real combat ability of their own. Think of Crocodile and Moria, they wouldn't have been a challenge for Usopp if they didn't have their fruit abilities much less anyone else in the crew. Even Kizaru and Aokiji seem like they would be insanely weak without their abilities.
Ace was considered respectably strong before he got his power, and did Blackbeard scar Shanks before he got his power?

I thought he got the scar from Mihawk?

Nope, he told Whitebeard that Blackbeard gave it to him.

I still think Luffy could beat Magellan here and now. All he has to do is have Mr 3. create a candle over his arm like what they did against Minotaurus, and it should protect Luffy from the poison.

Didn`t Mr.3 said he his candle can`t hold on much? plus luffy is kinda beat up at this point.

His wax couldn't hold its form long when they were on level 3, because the heat was melting it. Now that they're on level 1, he shouldn't have that much trouble.
Also, Luffy is far from beaten up at this point. He's supercharged from Ivankov's hormone injection.

Also if you think about it, doesn't Blackbeards fruit negate your Devil's Fruit power only if he's touching you? So when they mentioned Ace's strength without the fruit, it was probably also referring to his ability to take hits, since every time he was in Blackbeards hands, that's all he did. I'm sure there has to be quite a bit more characters that can take hits like that.
So far the yami-yami fruit seems powerful, but not as powerful as BB thinks it is. It really should be a combination of BB's already immense power in combination with the fruit that he acquired.
I've always thought NO. 3 had pretty useless powers but against Megellan he may be the most effective, covering his body with wax could prevent the poison from touching him.
I wonder how you would beat Megallan? Throw a bunch of antibiotics or medicines at him?
