I am sure we will see a flashback with Fisher Tiger later on. Maybe we will also see a young Jinbei and the next nakama as a little kid.
Chapter 609: "Adventure on Fishman Island" Discussion

Love the chapter. Can't wait to see Jinbei.
But…..no chapter till 19th of January? Why such a long break? -
For all we know, the next nakama could be older than Jinbe.
-
I doubt it. Jinbei is in his mid forties.
-
Another great chapter. I hate having to wait after such an awesome chapter!!!
Damn you Oda and your wanting to have a life!!! -
@Mr.:
I doubt it. Jinbei is in his mid forties.
And Brook is 90 and was 38 when he died, your point?
-
-
Where did Oda ever say that a character can't be over X in order to join?
I want a younger nakamate as well, since we haven't had one since Chopper, but it is nowhere guaranteed that the NN will be around Luffy's age. -
If you want to talk about the next nakama we have a thread for it
http://apforums.net/showthread.php?t=28386talk about the chapter itself here
On topic: Alot of Royals in the past normally had more than one wife/husband if the same is true for the King or Queen of fishman island whatever one of them is in charge of the island then it explains why each of the princes are based on different types of fish.
-
and if sanji got a blood transfusion would he gain anything from the donator? say abilities or fishman-like swimming if it were a fishman. whatever, who knows
This isn't Axe Cop.
-
Also am I the only who noticed that if these three dudes are actually brothers, that means that there's no fishman hybrids.
Wonder how genetics would play a role to have three brothers with different fish bases though.This. and for some reason when I heard Hodi Jones keep me remember of Davy Back Jones..
I vote for this Hodi jones actually Real father of Fukaboshi (hence King of FI)..

@Mr.:
It's likely though.
No, it isn't. You have nothing to base that off.

it'd be the first time polygamy appeared in One Piece, unless I'm forgetting something.

So, the more they talk about Fisher Tiger, the more it becomes incredibly apparent we're going to be getting a massive flashback about that incident later. There's already too much history, precedent and bad blood entwined it in for Oda to not show it… I figure after we get to see and know a whole bunch of these characters, the current situation, and whoever the next crewmember is? we'll then get to see the whole thing 20 years ago.
Along with young Jimbei, little Hachi, Arlong and Hancock.
But that probably won't be till near the end of the arc before the big fight (against whoever that may be) to bring better understanding to the whole thing, given Oda's track record. Looking forward to that.
As for the actual chapter, really digging the way the city looks, the shell armor, those quintuplets are still incredibly cute, and its nice to see that the Strawhats aren't default enemies of the state right off... they might in fact already be friends with the royalty and not even know it.
But we've already got neo-Arlong pirates, ghost ship, and even Caribou set up... plus decades of race relations that Luffy is obviously going to fix to some degree, and we've barely even gotten into the city. This arc is going to be insane.
Month till the next chapter huh? That's gonna suck a little. Nice Christmas present though.

What if they are adopted?
-
thanks and merry christmas
-
great chapter. too bad for the wait tho…
-
@Aegir:

While adoption is far more common among noble families in Japan, I kind of doubt it.
-
With this chapter, Sanji lost so many points with me…
-
the princes dont exactly have to be blood brothers. they can become princes by marrying the princess. we know of 1 mermaid princess, so many possibilities exist as to how they're brothers
-

I can hear KiShiDo Blue Walking his way here now…
-
Loved this chapter. Sanji was getting on my nerves until it became a plot device and now i'm all for the nosebleeds.
-

Thank you for being one of the few people who realize that you become a prince with no ruling power if you marry a princess, and not a king.
Although, I'm sure if that were the case we would have heard of mermaid princesses, and as far as we know we were told there was only one in Thriller Bark. Then again there is no difference between plural and singular in Japanese, so it's a possibility… -
Dat Color Spread
-
A nice way to end my Christmas day! Thanks to all that made it possible!
It's just like Oda to leave us with a tantalizing message just before a big break. A month is a long time to wait, but it will be worth it. Bed time…
-

We weren't told of the Mermaid Princess until Sabaody. (Incidentally, I hope she's a red head)
-
In that case I got confused then, my bad.
-
What a great christmas gift! :wub:
I'm really interested in Fisher Tiger's backstory. What a horrible way to die…
Oh, Sanji! But I understand this massive nosebleed attack... being so close to the mermaid's boobs was too much for him xDTHREE week break? NO! D:
well that lead u to ask who injured him so badly
-
Wow, nice spread. :D
Reading now..
-
In that case I got confused then, my bad.
Back when the mermaid princess was first mentioned, a lot of people were making jokes about the goldfish princess >.> I don't suppose that's how you got confused?
-
What about the normal way you have 3 princes…by having 3 sons as offspring of the king/queen
-
Well that is most likely, hence why I find it fun that all three of them have different fish bases. I'm curious as to how that works, but I don't think we'll get an explanation from Oda, sadly.
-
^just wait for Oda explanation..Oda never leave us a PLOTHOLE!
anyway, i repeat myself a vague theory: what if this Hodi Jones was blood father of Fukaboshi..that will explain of Fukaboshi look like mix up of fishman and merman altogether..
and Hodi Jones soound like Davy Jones, doesn't it?
-
The use of the nosebleed as a plot device is pushing it a bit. Using Luffy's stupidity, Zoro's lack of direction, and Sanji's love of women as plot devices is one thing but using the actual nosebleed of a character to advance the story…...I don't know.
If this were Naruto and Bleach and this happened we would be hammering the author but since its Oda he gets a pass. He did drop hints that something was going to happen with the situation after Chopper kept saying that Sanji was running out of blood. Because its Oda and because he dropped hints beforehand and because it was funny, I'm not too bothered by it.
However I hope he doesn't make a habit of it and hopefully Sanji fixes this thing because after a point it becomes annoying and not funny anymore.
-

I wouldn't call it a plothole though, just something unimportant up for speculation.
-

Nope, definitely heard it from Lola's crew
No wait, that was Hancock
-
mermaid-shaped nosebleed fountain, wow
interesting story about rejected blood-transfusion
-
What I don't get…
Mermaids are looking like real women with tails... But merman are still lookin like fishes and even have different types... I thought they would look more like a male human just with tails...
-
Mermaids have different types as well, Kishido. Kokoro is an icefish mermaid and Caimie is a kissing gourami mermaid.
-
Maybe the princes are the half-merman half-fishman hybrids that Almost Legendary has been wanting ;p

Like the Skypiea flashback. Sweet. That was one of my favorite flashbacks.
-
The Neptun's Army is gay. Oda's designes are getting more worse and more worse.

Considering it was hyped since Amazon Lily and hinted at since the Arlong arc, something tells me this arc is going to be huge and important. So I think it will be like Skypeia's at the very least.

Great chapter! First page was amazing.

This.And why do merman have gills and mermaids doesnt?I think Oda did a mistake in there somewhere.
Blood fountain in the shape of mermaid.Thats funny but using it to move the plot.. meh.. but funny.
I really like the page that has the Island and kingdom tag.It looks really great and detailed.
Also check the 7th page.Usopp and Choppers suprise faces because of the fish.I laughed hard.

I think having the males more fish like is fine. I mean, how often do you really see mermen drawn out? Lots of room for artistic license. I would have been just as happy if they looked more like he females, but eh. I've been a fan of shark-type mermen for years. :happy:
-

Female mermaids have as well different types of "tail". But Their upper half have nothing fish like, but many fishes have a different morphology between males and female fishes, so the possibilities are indeed endless.

Okey, good to know Mister Negative (If you mean that being gay is bad)
