It was a great chapter, however I do understand Jinbe's point of view but I also think its just silly too. I mean you'd think as soon as people learned about Hodi's actual evil idea that they wouldn't be rooting for him, once Luffy takes him out they shouldn't hate him. Ask for the new moves, they look pretty sweet, I'm really liking Zoro's and Robin's from what it sounds like. Luffy, maybe Gear 2 mixed with Haki??? Any ways, great chapter. I'm sure will be seeing what Sanji can do soon.

There are people who side with Hodi, those are the ones that are the problem.
And I'm almost 100% certain he's responsible for killing the queen. He's definitely lost it.
-
I gotta say, this was an outstanding chapter… Loved the cover, loved the colour spread (hurray for sig!), great to see a few new abilities, hopefully they are all to be seen later, especially Robin's Hana-clone?! And the chapter itself was great.
Thanks to everyone involved in the release and posting!Few thoughts: Good thing there is an official countdown coming from Hodi... This is likely to improve the pacing of the chapters again, which IMO was a bit weird during the flashback, and also it pretty much screams "Action starting now!"
Also, it gives me the feeling that things are really going to get serious now, not unlike the Upper Yard Survival Game... Called it right when we saw the Tenryuubito letter that it will play a giant role by being destroyed or something similar, in this case, making it something that has to be preserved by Hodi's enemies and can be used as a leverage by him - also loving how he announced to track down every Fishman that gave his signature to Otohime's cause. This really makes him a tyrant, and I am with those arguing that Luffy beating him will actually be a good thing and show a good side of humans by helping the Fishmen.
Seeing the princes' reaction was also interesting, everyone was shocked seeing Neptune caught except Fukaboshi, who acted calmer. Interesting.
Luffy passing on his bodyguard-role to Sanji was great, especially the high five. Also loved seeing the three in the cage, especially "Robsopp"
And now who is Joy Boy?! Sounds like some porn name. Or is that just me? :ninja:Luffy's reaction to his new bounty was so sweet to see... He looks like Chopper trying to hide being happy
And Jinbe face-faulting again! Wonderful. I'm really looking forward to their fight, hope it doesn't get interrupted by Nami - and I would love to see Luffy win without breaking too much of a sweat, I think he should be able to. Jinbe's chances to join are... still immensely high, probably risen again due to this chapter in my eyes, although I don't actually like him that much, but he's growing on me. I can see his point, but I don't think Luffy beating Hodi would cause that much of a negative reaction as Jinbe fears it. Hyped for next chapter.
-
Usopp impersonating Robin was comedy gold. Best part of the chapter for me.
-
Im sure Joy Boy is either arlong or neptune… hodi is too young at the approximate time that the poneglyph was made. Don't know what the apology might be about but it definetly sounds interesting
-

What did you get from that? The Poneglyph might not be telling the history of Fishman Island, let alone recent history.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Gasp! I can't find Pandaman in the chapter!
Oh, yeah, awesome colorspread with some suspicions confirmed. Also, page 15 is win. Not just the impression, the whole page.
Another facefault, Oda? Now it's looking more and more likely that Jinbe will join!... Not that I'm complaining. I still haven't seen him as proper SH crew material yet, though.
Edit: How can I leave out the princes who are looking more and more badass the more I see them? In particular, the two younger brothers.
-
finally things are starting to heat up. awweee yeah.
Jinbei is about to get his ass kicked. me thinks.
Remember roger wrote on one before, so the letter could be just as old as when roger wrote what he did in skypiea.
But Joy Boy does indeed interest me.
The difference here is that the Poneglyph itself had the term Joy Boy, so it was written hundreds of years ago. Roger enscribed something on gold, not the indestructable stone itself.
-
God please stop whining about Zoro being captured… Luffy was captured by fodder citizens and thrown into ropes which he hasn't broken alone...
It is just for the plot for god's sake
Yeah, and wasn't he underwater ? I'd bet he collapsed and wasn't beaten.
-
Edit: How can I leave out the princes who are looking more and more badass the more I see them? In particular, the two younger brothers.
Yeah, I thought that as well, especially seeing that Ryuboshi apparently has two swords? I like this guy. Always been a fan of two swords-based fighting styles… Pure win.

Random and completely baseless unlogical guess #2475
The end is near. -
I wonder if Luffy's skirmish with Jinbei is going to be on panel. Anyway this development makes me lean more towards the possibility of Jinbei joining the Strawhats. I'm certain that Luffy is going to be considerably stronger lending more credence to Luffy being his captain.
-
Oh that was weak. Spoiler fooled me. That's not water boarding.
Love the timely placed Brook jokes.
Hopefully, Decken shows up to prevent any more of this painful shitty "twist"
-
Decken showing up would probably the best turn of events… And I guess the most LOGICAL solution for the problem at hand is Jinbe and Luffy fighting Hodi together. It would somewhat show a bonding between Humans and Fishmen and their ability to work together, and therefore set an example... But seeing that they're both probably capable of defeating him on their own (at least without using any ES) and this being a Shounen, it won't happen.
-
brook is really useless, fail nakama
-
If people were right about the color page indicating Brook could detach limbs, then I could easily see him being the one to free the captured crewmates
-
brook is really useless, fail nakama
Ahhhh come on man!!!! Brook will have his day to shine I know it… I think lol. I mean... I hope...
-
Good chapter, wonder how the marines and the world government are going to react to this. While they ignored what happened with Arlong in east blue, they just simply can't ignore a whole revolution of really pissed fishmen, driven by very strong racial hatred against humans, especially at such an important spot like fishman island.
And there is also the whole Big Mom protecting fishman island thing, wonder how that will play out. All in all, great set up for the coming chapters. -
I had been waiting for last week's chapter (with Nami and Jinbe clearing the air) for years. I assumed last week that I was waiting for next week's chapter more than this one which I figured wouldn't be much more than Hodi's announcement, but it was still a good read.
-
The color spread is freaking great. All the new foreshadowed powerups! I especially like Robin's clone, Franky's gun, and Chopper's crazy new form. Brook's is interesting if he can now separate himself. Zoro's could also be interesting with the demon enhancements he showed in Enies Lobby, and it's cool to finally see him with the bandana on. Usopp's new ammo is cool, but nothing we didn't already really suspect. Luffy's, Nami's, and Sanji's are all quite bland in comparison to the rest.
-
Hodi's so cruel, making people step on Otohime's picture before killing them anyway.
-
It's good to see that Hodi has good reasons for waiting to kill Neptune and the crew members. Shirahoshi's power stops him from killing neptune and drawing Luffy out is his reasoning for not killing his crew yet (if he only realized how much he'd get his ass kicked). Hodi's evilness makes him a worthy villain, and it's great, but his strength doesn't so he's still not the big bad. This is further reinforced by the fact that Dosun apparently got his ass kicked.
-
Some hilarious stuff in this chapter starting small with Jinbe's face fault. The page with Zoro/Usopp/Brook is hilarious, and Usopp's Robin impression is the icing on the cake for it. Luffy's initial reaction to Hodi's broadcast being "yaaaay new bounty!!" also got me pretty good. The Franky/Chopper human line was also a bit amusing.
-
Yet again, Robin only gets one page and it's ridiculously important. Hopefully she starts getting more involved soon. The big obvious question is "who's Joy Boy" but that only seems like the 2nd most important question of that page to me. It seems to me that the spirit of Joy Boy from 900 years ago was reincarnated and eventually became Roger and then Luffy, and the ancient civilization knew that this would happen. The biggest question for me is what the apology is. I hope it's more than just a burden.
-
I sort of thought Luffy might leave Shirahoshi under Sanji's protection the past few days, but I don't think I ever bothered to mention it. Oh well.
-
The last page is amazing. It's really quite hype inducing. Of course, it won't be long at all before Nami literally beats some sense into both of them. I hope for a quick exchange first, though, like a kingbition blast by Luffy and a comment by Jinbe about how he won't be able to win on land and will have to resort to using the deep sea against him. They're both idiots in their own way, but that's necessary for Jinbe to be able to join the crew. :ninja:
-
I like the cycle of hatred theme in this arc, but I dread the thought of how many people on this forum won't be able to wrap their heads around the usage of it by the author, and its purpose.
-
-
I can't even put into words my enjoyment of the new chapter. Oda is love.
-
Random and completely baseless unlogical guess #2475
The end is near.no one can make any real logical guesses because we can't read poneglyphs and all robin said was joy boy but since it was underwater on fishman island i would assume that it has to do with a member of the island..
-
Luffy's, Nami's, and Sanji's are all quite bland in comparison to the rest.
I don't know, I found it interesting that luffys boddy didn't didn't turn red while steaming. Agree on Nami and Sanji.

There is also the misfortune of naruto raping the theme, leaving a bad aftertaste on the whole premise.
-
I don't even want to begin speculation on Joy Boy… What a fuckin cliff hanger... Like come on Oda... :/
With that one page with Robin I now have no idea what's about to go down. Brilliance
-
I wonder if the green affect behind brook means something. I bet his music can control emotions. It seemed that way when he got his fans to riot, but I bet he has even more hypnotism like affects now. I wonder if he can blow things up like music fruit dude.

wow, for me It just looked like he farted and laughed because of it.
I didn't even think about all the possibilities! -
More than Jinbe and Luffy fighting I'm really interested to see what Fukaboshi has in mind. After the flashback the three brothers became really likeable and I look forward to seeing their role in all of this. Considering what Hodi has been doing I hope it's Fukaboshi that defeats him, I really do.
I also wonder what the deal is with Pappug. We were reminded of him last chapter as one of the captives, and in this chapter he was forgotten again. Does this mean he might free the imprisoned straw hats?

… Really? It's fit for a mod to spout out this kind of crap about reincarnation? specialy if it hasn't been stated in any way that's possible in this work, and the whole "A man dies with it's dreams and memories" being cheapened by just coming back to life and remembering himself.

I asume he doesn't mean it as literaly as that.
-
What… did you not pay attention to the whole thread so far... Jinbe definitely has his reasons. My boy Archtyrant did a good summary of the situation at the top of this page.... Jinbe is definitely not an idiot lol.
let me get this situation correct from the fishman perspective
the strawhats invaded ryuugan palace. luffy kidnapped the princess
then jimbei goes and defeats hodi and saves the strawhats (or humans)
so why did jimbei save these BAD humans, who not only invaded your kingdom but kidnpapped your princess.
the strawhats look like HORRIBLE people right now. and the strawhats for all purposes are HUMAN. So if they don't do something like stop a fishman from killing thousands of fishman then how will it change anyones purpose
it was mentioned that jimbei beating hodi will sway a few (b) group? doubtful. the b group is a minority, what needs to happen is to get the (a) group to stand up for themselves and their beliefs. the (b) group is a lost cause, you can never hope to sway racial prejuduce people liek that. the (a) group needs to revolt or stand up
will jimbei inspire this? doubtful in my eyes. he has ZERO charisma, and he is a pirate who is even banned from fishman island. can luffy inspire this? hell's yes
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
and after that comment, you're stupid. the point isn't that the majority will like humans. the point is the minority that will HATE humans. logic runs low for some people.
if you know anything about that group, they will NEVER change.
the hate filled group is a lost cause. the other group needs to stand up for themselves.
this arc isn't going to end with the fishman pirates going "oh jimbei your my here, lets go join humans"
and jimbei is stupid to think it would. he wants to STOP more from joining that lost group of people. But what he is going to do will just be at BEST a stalemate. It will cause ZERO change. The good fishman won't do anything they will jus tbe thankful. the bad group will go back in hiding and slowly recruit people again and rinse and repeat. -
We might see jimbei saving luffs crew and luffy thanking him by bowing his head down while on tv/monitors?That might be good.
We need some Robin action right now!!Also i hope Oda wont mess up all those little Poneglyph stories in the end.

Looking at the rest of your post… that's my line.

Me being a mod has nothing to do with anything.
specialy if it hasn't been stated in any way that's possible in this work
Not specifically, but you're blind if you think it hasn't been at all implied with all the connections between Luffy and Roger. This concept is big in Buddhism and Hinduism, which manga typically draw from heavily.
and the whole "A man dies with it's dreams and memories" being cheapened by just coming back to life and remembering himself.
Nothing about reincarnation implies a person remembering their previous life. The hell?

Yea i know what you mean. Just i will say it again, Hodi's got nothing on this arc. This is just some frickin 20 something chapter long arc introduction. Lol i dont know but i havent been this excited for this arc's possibilities since Luffy was stating he was going to go to impel down.
-
Can we cut the nonsense that luffy is fighting jimbei. This what not offically said or is the immediate effect of jimbei's thinking. Right Now we know that:
Jimbei wants to beat Hodi to settle a score and to stop the prejudice against humans because luffy will only prove hodi's speeches by defeating him
Luffy wants to save his crew mates and kick some ass
Oda wants to show off some new powers and a sexy plotlineBut jimbei isnt always the fighter. He has been proven to be aggressive but he usually finds a more peaceful way around things. Luffy on the other hand…

The good fishman won't do anything they will jus tbe thankful. the bad group will go back in hiding and slowly recruit people again and rinse and repeat.Hodi is threatening both the King and the Straw Hats. Jinbe destroying Hodi will probably be seen more as "thanks for saving us from this retarded tyrant, boss jinbe" than "why did you save those pirates?!?!"
The staw hats WILL probably do something. You forget we have two depraved bastards called Decken and Caribou roaming around, both after Shirahoshi. Straw Hats protect the princess and probably help jinbe and the princes, and people realize "hey, they're good guys". Which is what happens in almost every island they visit … Water 7, Skypeia ... you get the point (I hope)
Thinking that the other group can't be convinced and should be abandoned is a terrible idea. The reason they're so extremist is because they grow up in a district that society doesn't really care about as orphans. Jinbe defeating hodi, in his mind, involves showing those kids that it's wrong to think like Hodi.
And Jinbe not having charisma?? The whole island knows him as BOSS Jinbe, if that doesn't entail respect I don't know what does. He's not allowed in the island because he renounced his position as Shichibukai so he fears that by being in it he threatens its safety.
-
I doubt its reincarnation so much as that "Joy Boy" is related to the Will of D and Luffy's one of the people who has "inherited" that will and carries on their spirit, but isn't really a reincarnation in the noral sense of it
-
Great chapter.
The funny parts were downright hilarious, epic hilarious. Usopp's Robin impression was epic. The whole cage scene was epic. Franky and Chopper stating themselves as "humans", epic.
And, of course, Robin's investigation of the Poneglyphs fill us with intrigue. "Joy Boy" could refer to Roger and Luffy, and their predecessors. Who was he?
Hodi is just completely insane and homicidal. He obviously can't imagine himself failing. Well, that's what a psychopath is like.
As for Jinbe, one one hand, he believes that Hodi is his problem and no one else's, and on another, he doesn't have a clue to how strong Luffy is now. The whole "remnants of hatred for humans" sounds more like an excuse to handle things selfishly. This "battle" of Luffy vs Jinbe will not last long. Inadvertently, Jinbe will team up with the Strawhats to defeat Hodi.
And since Shirahoshi doesn't know how to use her power, she's gonna learn soon :happy:

Sure, the inherited will is a vaguely similar idea with a broader scope, and we've already seen it referenced, as mentioned. But "Joy Boy" from 900+ years ago doesn't really make much sense in that context, so it doesn't make for much of a theory at all.
and none of them makes sense whatsoever:wassat:
It could just be a boy who's happy. I doubt Oda does research on Urban Dictionary.
-
One thing that I first understood but now don't understand is Jinbei's ideology. Jinbei could use all the help he can get. I understand he's powerful and etc, but there's no way he can defeat all those NFP's. For example, if a racist is saved by the one he hates, do you really think the racist will become more enraged that they were saved? Or, would it help release some of this hate. Maybe a human saving Fishmen Island is the route Jimbei needs to take. I mean, does he actually think the Fishmen don't know there are stronger people out there that can whip the floor with them, I mean they are be safeguarded by a Yonkou.
As for the rest of the chapter, it was great, especially the coverspread. Oda really needs to get the main event started to see the SH's power-ups.
-
So Zoro doesn't know how to use CoA. Because CoA should be powerful enough to break some chains.

Dude, first, please, please stop spelling "liek". I don't even think you write it like that because you don't know it better, but using liek is like declaring; "I have no dignity or any self worth at all. For what I care, people can think I'm a lobotomized chimpanzee with a learning disability."
Now about the whole "who should beat hodi up" thing, Luffy defeating him won't necessarily mean he will redeem himself for the fishmen people. For what they know, Luffy is a serious criminal and pirate, someone anybody has a bad opinion about. For what they know, he could just end up beating hodi and decide to loot the whole place. And while group (b) might never change their opinion, group (a) still can, since most folks on fi don't really hate humans with such passion like hodi and his gang, but they are afraid and suspicious of them. Just look at how long it took them to even dare to believe in the posibility of rising up. And let say they manage to pass the bill, that still doesn't mean everything will turn alright for them, considering there is still fucking slavery on dry land and many other reasons to still fear humans.
oh, there is also the fact that that the islands most famous and accurate fortune teller predicted that the would destroy the fucking island. -
I don't know, I found it interesting that luffys boddy didn't didn't turn red while steaming. Agree on Nami and Sanji.
Luffy's body doesn't turn red when he uses Gear Second. There have been several color covers with him using it where he wasn't red. It's an anime only thing.
-
I agree that there will be no big fight between Jinbe and Luffy because of Nami punching some sense into them next chapter.
Loved the Jump Cover. Loved the Colorspread…. not so much. Well, Robin rocks in this one and all in all it's a cool Colorspread. It's just... Perhaps it's just me but I think that something is very off with Oda's drawings in this Chapter and the CS. I would have loved another angle for Nami in the CS btw. And just all in all Oda's style seems to be a bit different in this chapter. Especially when I look at Robins profile drawing in the Chapter.
... Am I really the only one who noticed that?
Perhaps I should wash my eyes or get some glasses. -
Great chapter.
Usopp impersonating Robin was funny, and it seems like Jinbe and Luffy's "fight" may not even be a full out fight. Just a tease.
And Joy Boy…may be related to Ivankov somehow. Or Kamabakka Kingdom.
-
So does this mean that Luffy and Jimbei are going to fight next chapter? And Joy Boy eh?
-

It could just be a boy who's happy. I doubt Oda does research on Urban Dictionary.
It could just be that Roger "inherited" the will from someone else, with JB being on the other end of that chain of "heirs".
Of course it's prety vague so far, so arguing over the precise meaning and nature of the thing right now is rather silly :P
-
One more thing…where the HECK IS PAPPUG? Shouldn't he be captured too?
