Well, to be fair. I'm not sure if anybody can endure a bite like that unless he's wearing Busoshoku Haki (Or some kind of akuma no mi). Maybe he could have dodged it... I'm not sure if it really matters at this point, his "sacrifice" had an awesome impact back then when I read the 1st chapters. FEELINGS, MAN.

If you think about it, Shanks wasn't strong when he was on the East Blue. In fact, you can assume he was a bit below Luffy-level when Luffy was about to leave East Blue. Buggy is the proof that having lived on the King's ship does not make one strong, and Shanks might just have become ridiculously powerful over the course of time.

Actually, there was reference to Shanks dueling with Mihawk on a regular basis before he lost his arm so...not really sure how he would lose it. Not to mention he also had Haoshoku Haki when he stares and the Sea King just runs off.

On the other hand Luffy also had Emperor's Haki, even if he didn't know how use it consciously. I can't remember anyone stating that in East Blue Shanks already had fully mastered Haki in any shape or form, just that he has the gift of Emperor's Haki. What I'm saying is that Shanks might have subconsciously used it on the Sea King.
I like to think that Shanks doesn't get a replacement arm or whatever out of sentimental reasons. He literally did give an arm for Luffy and he would probably have given a leg, too.
Maybe it doesn't bother him that much to only have one arm, or maybe he just doesn't like the thought of having an artificial limb.

I feel like if they were really powerful they would have at least introduced some of them. Normally once a character is introduced, they have some effect on the story. It just seems like his crew, even if they're from impel down, is mostly fodder.
There's also the fact that the 80-150m bounty range is presumably mostly captains. How many captains would really want to follow Buggy? I think we should get some facts straight about the potential power level of Buggy's crew. First of all it is quite possible, if not certain, that some of the prisoners are from The New World. Shiki and Ace were both sent to Impel Down. Secondly there is no evidence to support that Level 5 should only hold prisoners with a bounty between 80m to 150m. At the time Luffy was sent to Level 5 his bounty was at 300m. Now let's assume that Impel Down does indeed hold prisoners from The New World, there is no reason to assume that people with a 150m bounty would be a captain. Buggy could potentially have a several subordinates with power levels equal to or greater than that of Zoro and Sanji during Marineford Arc.
Well I only said 80m-150m out of reservation instead of just saying any random number. :D

Not to mention that some of the worst pirates were locked in there and freed who then ended up joining Blackbeards crew. That fact alone can help testify to the fact that pirates within Impel Down not only can be from the New World but also be insanely strong. Oh btw, you don't see many Pirate crews with heaps of crew in the range of 80-150m bounties unless they're either Yonkou Crew or some insane pirate crew. Hell, I think only two of the Supernova crews had a member who wasn't a captain part of the Supernovas pre-timeskip arc.
None of the Supernovas had entered The New World when they were introduced. The Supernovas were obviously very strong compared to everyone else in Paradise, but Blackbeard himself mentioned that Bonney Pirates were not strong enough for The New World, even though were one of the Supernova crews.

That would be pretty cool if he really is Fujitora.

What an interesting island.
I'm looking forward to this arc. Getting an Alabasta vibe with the build up and temp crew members. =D

Such a strong Zatoichi vibe from the blind guy
