@Nimrodu:
Luffy could do that later on as I wrote before
I don't think so. A lot of people argue against Luffy pulling a Fisher Tiger because they think Mariejois will be left until the end. I think that what is going to be the finally showdown will be at Marineford - Luffy doing what Whitebeard couldn't - not Mariejois. It would make much more sense for the "final battle" to be at the place that Whitebeard - legend and demon as he was - couldn't take down, rather than Fisher Tiger who probably, let's face it, wasn't as strong as Whitebeard.
What would give more of a statement as to Luffy's strength, really?
@Nimrodu:
maybe all of them will be brought to another place in to the new world.
Maybe, but the only other place mentioned has been the Forest of the seas, and that seems more like a tourist spot than anything else.
@Nimrodu:
Fishman island is totally destroyed there's no home any more. Arlong 2 on stereoids takes the power, sends in every living soul on the island in the to the Ark includng luffy with their ship. He is driven mad by the drugs and it's obsession. He got some kind of hero complex doing it for the greater good of his people and his grudge lust for war and revenge against humanity.
I already told you that Hodi is not going to be the main villain. He may be strong but Oda is not going to make fishmen the primary antagonists once again after so much he has spent trying to make his readers view them as oppressed minority. Instead of coming up with fanfiction ideas maybe you should actually try to explain why Oda would do that if Hodi is going to be the main villain with absolutely no reference to seafolk slavery and oppression.
Nevermind that Saobody's entire plot revolved around fishman slavery.
Nevermind that slavery was also an enormous theme in Amazon Lily and was the entire reason Hancock had become who she was. Despite that she was not a seaperson, she was the first to explain who Fisher Tiger was and what he did. She was free because of him.
Nevermind that Jinbe was pretty much invited to the shichibukai for the entire reason to ease seafolk frustrations against humans.
Nevermind that one of the things that got brought up during Marineford was how Whitebeard protected Fishman Island.
I could even argue that the reason why Tom was so easy to frame in Water7 was probably related to the discrimination against fishmen and the widespread belief that they are inherently violent. Thus it could have been as early as Water7 Oda subtly brought it up.
And yet you think Oda just inserted all those constant references to slavery and seafolk discrimination for absolutely no freaking reason? It's painfully obvious that it's foreshadowing for Fishman Island. Otherwise he would have never brought - heck - created Fisher Tiger in the first place.
Even if Luffy doesn't attack Mariejois, Fisher Tiger's freeing of slaves and heroism is going to play an enormous role.
For earth's sake. Next to Raftel, Fishman Island is the most heavily foreshadowed arc in One Piece. The only way it could pass as a "minor" arc would be if Oda pulled a Thriller Bark - not particularly important compared to EL but had a member join the crew. And I'm still not buying it since only a musician was foreshadowed to join the crew, and Brook himself was foreshadowed through the Laboon arc, not Thriller Bark itself. So I highly doubt it.
@Nimrodu:
You know in that sense manipulated by the greater evil force maybe Doflamingo not literally though but as a provider of those drugs working with someone who planted these great ideas in his mind….
DoFlamingo selling drugs to fishmen makes more sense, since he does like to manage quasi-illegal business (slavery) and pull strings (Mocktown) even figuratively. Plus he is the only shichibukai the SHs have not been directly involved with. However, if he is involved he will be the main villain this time since he has already been involved in two smaller arcs and unless Oda has something absolutely enormous planned for him I don't think he's going to hype him up even further.
Being a heavily foreshadowed villain for a heavily foreshadowed arc makes sense. Again, he will be the main antagonist and not Hodi if he is involved.
@Nimrodu:
The Ark either way will be important I think.
It's going to be impossible to tell until the SHs get to the fishman district or Robin reappears and says something about it.
@Nimrodu:
Note that in recent chapters humans are being talked about as they should "washed away" or something similar to it. Maybe there is an ancient weapon capable of creating some kind of flood like that of the days of Noah in the old testament. Redemption from the sins and the punishment for evil wicked behaviour of the humans on earth…
That's an interesting theory and it would explain the foreshadowed destruction of fishman island.
Also those who have talked about washing away humanity are the New Fishman Pirates that from what Oda has shown, are not the majority of seafolk. Hence why they are, you know, criminals. It was made very clear by Hyouzou that the NFPs were wanted in Fishman Island.
Then again, so was the Franky Family.
@Nimrodu:
Well well What I meant we probably won't spend too many chapters on the location of fishman isle and its near surroundings and HJ and his gang will be the villains to fight there…
See my above explanation about why that doesn't make any sense.
@Nimrodu:
Am I onto something?
Only regarding the Noah's arc thing. Other than that, no.
