I think he'd be able to breath, but only move with great effort, and would be pretty much parralysed. Luffy could breath despite beign underwater in the arlong Ark, when his head was pulled up, and breathing is done with the chest, which was underwater, so I think breathing is only lost for those who can't normally breath
