@J2o:
I'm going to call it. Luffy takes on both Hodi and Van Der! Luffy is probably too strong for any 1on1 situation in this arc. So yes, 2 on 1. How awesome would that be?! I'm sure Oda will definitely do something like this.
I can imagine Van Der, planing ahead, tricking and grab Luffy to throw him to who know where Hodi would be? Yes, right outside the bubble into the water! Of course, Van Der will have to touch Hodi beforehand.
Im definitely calling it.
That would take away from the epicness of a 1 on 1 fight. Jinbei's going to be a team player too-I think. So I can see one taking on Hodi and the other taking on Decken.
@GoustiFruit:
Who will give his blood to Hachi ?
I think the four (Zoro, Nami, Usopp and Brooke) will defend the palace against the aggressors, without Luffy. But… hum now that Luffy's going out of the palace, Hodi can't continue to send flying humans in the tower or inside the bubble !? And the few that already got inside don't look like any threat at all. So they have no way (Hodi, VDD) currently to enter the palace ?
Luffy, without knowing (as always) has already destroyed their plan ! How could they imagine that the princess who never leaved her room in 10 years could go out of the bubble ? :-D
Let's not forget that the three brothers are waiting outside. If they don't fight the strawhats (which would be good) then it's them+the four strawhats v. Hodi+his crew+Decken+hyouzou. They might be able to fend off the attack, although with the other 5 strawhat members elsewhere it may be a little difficult.
