Chapter 639
I guess to start off we learn that Hodi didn't mainly kill Decken because he "betrayed" him but more importantly because, it more suited his plans. Which furthers on his "status" as a ruthless villain who cares nothing to very little about his comrades
The entire scene however was done really well and in a way "realistically" I dont expect Decken to come alive from that in any case
so than we switch to Hodi, the princess with her brothers and Luffy. I dont quite get Luffys attack and as far as I understood it is weaker. I expect to see a lot of tactical fighting and what not and overal for Luffy to kick his ass naturally.
Ok than for the end we get basically a picture of what is happening down bellow on FI and this part… I disliked. It felt forced, especially with the resulting pairings, which even if they were made could have been I guess made in a more natural way. Again a build up chapter, with not a "lot" happening or revealing so, not really to my liking
Thats that
Did someone say God?
Chapter was nice. Build up was good. Problem is the wait every week. You would love the chapters more if you just wait and read an arc in his whole xP.
BTW, did everyone notice the newspaper they were holding in the frontpage? I could count 9 pictures there, probably the SH? Bounty Raises probably?

Chapter 639 Mock-Review
enjoy~
! ONE PIECE 639
! "Protect Everything" OR "Someone should make a .gif of all the raep-faces hody makes"
! -we start of with From The Decks Of The World #23 Alabasta kingdom - New clothes for this year's reverie
! -we see pell, chaka, Igaram and histwinwife, a random girl (or maybe she isn't..its Oda after all) and a
kung-fu dugong all… in a....... fitting room....
......
that sounded wrong.
! REWITE:
-invincible bird-man Pell and jackal guy Chaka are getting new clothes for the Reverie with the help of igarams
wife and another girl while igaram tells them of the strawhats big comeback. Also kung-fu Dugong.
! -notice, dear readers, that while chaka has igarams gender bent clone measuring his waist, pell has the
cute girl measuring hisscarchest.
! - you now know why Oda kept pell alive with a huge scar. For the ladies.
! -also, HOLY MUSTACHE IGARAM.
! -Also also, the fact that they are getting ready for the reverie is sort of promising. After all, most of the crew
regard Vivi as a member of the crew. Long distance relationship, but a relationship none-the-less. I think it
would be awesome if we saw her with the crew again, if just to see her see them set off into the new world.
But really, I wanna see how she would react to the new crew members. Especially Robin. Because of the
whole…you know... "Destroy your country" thing. But that's probably not gonna happen, seeing as how the
Reverie takes place in Noble-Land. But I can dream, can't I?
! TO THE BAT-MO-CHAPTER
! -We continue on from last week's chapter with Hody stabbing VD with the trident.
-Ursula would be proud. But her trident was better. It shots lasers.
-"Hody lashes out!! what is his intent...?!" At this point, he's probably doing it for laughs.
-VD starts pulling out the trident while also holding Hody's shoulder.
-He pulls out completely in the following panel.
-Now a moment of your time. I've said before that VD, being a fish with 4 legs, probably has 2 butts. And
with this panel, you can try to imagine how that phenomenon would look like.
-Hody's thinking it too. Look at his face.
-VD is not pleased.
-with the stabbing or the inappropriate staring.
-VD then flings an axe. Yes, axe. Very...big axe...that he pulled...
-....
-rereads a few chapters
-analyzes drawings
-....
-out of one of his asses.
-VD expresses his surprise.
! VD : "What the hell are you trying to pull?!"
that's what she said
Hody: "Seriously? You did the exact same thing no more than 20 minutes ago. The boat came out of
no where, i almost shat myself. But whatever its actually a great idea! IM GOING TO GET RID OF FISHMAN
ISLAND! I HAVE NO IDEA HOW IM GONNA GET RID OF THE FISHMAN DISTRICT BUT WHATEVER
HURRY UP AND DIE NOW!!"
! -poor poor Hody.. now i know he's going insane. Those drugs are really doing a number on his brain cells.
I can practically here them fizzle away.
-He went from "make fish people strong" to "JUST KILL EVERYBODY" in less than 20 chapters.
-And if you think about it, in One Piece time, that's like.....half a day.
! -FI is also starting to look like Oda's take of a "Say no to drugs" program.
! "Hey kids. If you take drugs, you will turn into a giant white shark with hairy legs, no eyebrows, and bad
fashion sense that will start stabbing people with a giant trident all while you're face is stuck in a permanent
state of 'I murdered somebody and i liked it TeeHee' giving you no chance to have anything less than
an execution sentence by your fellow jury in a court of law.
This program is paid for and endorsed by the Tea Party. "
-SAY THAT 3 TIMES FAST
! -ANYWAY
-Hody starts taking with "we"s which was is a bit confusing at first. He says things like "We must " and
"We can" and "Let us". I thought "Why say that when you know that VD is dying?" But i figured that Hody
is probably losing it. Along with that, he says he's going to destroy everything, and kill the straw hats
even though hes killing tens of thousands of henchmen to do it because he can always get more slaves
later on.
-Hody is starting to become more and more intimidating as a villain.
-VD says he doesn't care fore a single thing he said, and that he is going to kill him
-VD attacks with his knife-sandles
-VD has lovely ballerina legs
-Seriously cover his 2 legs that are on the floor with your hand. He looks half man, half woman.
-The axe comes back with a vengeance.
-Hody notices the axe, and instead of just dodging, he bites VD's leg, preforms a over shoulder throw
with his TEETH, and use the axe to rip right through VD. Next time a guy shows up behind me with a gun,
im doing the same thing to the nearest person available.
-Hody is becoming one demented fish.
-Also, i think he died this time you guys…Last panel shows the axe slowing down to the ground. Also, the
AXE THROUGH THE BODY.
-...
.............
-or is there a reason the cover story has Pell in it.....
....
.
! -Hody laughs and decides its time to kill boobhoshi.
! Hody : " hmm lets see my to do list...
(1) gather lots of slaves. check
(2) take over plaza. check
(3) kill neptune. ..... ..... ...... damn it..
(4) kill strawhat. .........FFFFFFFUUUUUU-
(5) kill the princess. ...Meh, guess i'll just jump to this one.
! -So our drugged out fish villain swims after boobhoshi.
-He takes out the 2 prices "guarding" the princess by front-rolling and using his scythe blade to cut them
up
-boobhoshi yells out to her bros, and Hody continues to look menacing. Bros tell their sis to run.
! -In the next panel Hody is... on top..of...
REWRITE
-In the next panel Hody is pulling...shirahoshis hair.... while...
REWRITE
-In the next panel shirahoshi screams while....
! GOD DAMN IT
THE HELL WITH IT
! -Hody then puts on the most scariest raep-face i have ever seen drawn. I mean, i thought Gender-bent
nami and robin had scary faces, but this one takes the cake
! -Shirahoshi, how does one show her tears IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN
! -Luffy is pissed. So am I. That hair must have been hell growing out that long. And a pain in the ass to
take care of. You don't pull a woman's hair, Hody. Fishstick move.
-Luffy shows us a new move
! Luffy : "Gomu Gomu No Snake Shot!!!"
! -Luffy extends his hand in a snake like motion and hits Hody's chest with his fingers.
-Hody's ribs crack
-Is that a piercing attack? I dont see any holes on Hody's chest....
-Shiraboobs gets rescued, if for a moment
! -Also, Luffy's ride is running out of gas
-This might mean we'll get to see a fight without the 3rd prince around
! Hody : "This is the deep sea you INFERIOR LIFE FORM!!! You wont win, I WILL! SOMEONE LIKE
YOU INST CAPABLE OF PROTECTING ANYTHING!!!"
! -says the fish that got beat around by a 19 year old rubber boy just 15 minutes before.
! Luffy : "NO...I will protect everything!!! I spent those two years for that reason!!!!
! -luffy looks ready to kick ass.
-Luffy's eyes are interesting in this panel. We only say those eyes when he's at the peak of his anger. We
never saw him have that look with a smile before.
! -We pan out to see how our friends in the plaza are doing
-Giant fishman is crying because he got dumped by VD
-Wow, everyone in VD crew must take rejection pretty hard.
-To solve this problem and get the dude on their side, I-would-make-a-great-emo-sweater Zeo tells him
that he misheard VD, and that he actually said "Take care of the plaza for me"
-he believes it
-zeo gives him a energy steroid.
-wha? what's one tiny little pill going to help if you give it to a giant fi-
-....
-i've heard of being allergic to medication... but ..sensitive?
-Im pretty sure thats what the gag is supposed to be. silly mangastream
-So big hairy fish KOs the kraken and the poor thing twitches in pain. His face while twitching,
however, is hilarious.
-a random fish, points and tells Wadatsumi to beat up Jinbei.
! JINBEI : "Damn. Didn't even get to choke that guy."
! -Wada goes in for the punch
-nami calls out to Jinbei to look out ...."Jinbei-chan".....hmmmm
-silly nami. Jinbei already seeeeeeeEEEOOOOHHHHHHOLY CRAP
R...R...R.RRRRRRROUNDHOUSE KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG
-THE BREAKING OF THE FINGERS
-MY GOD
-Its official. After his death on Way of the Dragon, Chuck Norris came back to life with 2 souls. One to
carry on his life in the human world. The second flew into the sky, broke through dimensions of space,
time, and the human mind, and was born as Jinbei in the One Piece world.
-ladies and gents, i think we all know who the next strawhat needs to be.
-Yes fishfodder. Jinbei better be scary.
-So Wada falls and knocks nami over by the wind pressure of his fat ass hitting the floor
-Sanji is not pleased
-he kicks Wada in the head
-fishfodder are in awe
! MATCH UP #1
WADATSUMI VS. SANJI & JINBEI
! -Somewhere else in the plaza, Robin is giving fishes huge bitch slaps when she spots something in the
distance.
-Hyouzou is cutting through friend and...well just friend up to this point, with a sword on each hand. And
tentacle.
-He also has lovely white locks now. Everyones joining the bandwagon.
-What will happen if Zeo gets all steriod-y? Will he turn all white? emo zoidburg to angelic zoidburg?!
-Well. Wow. An alcoholic , a drug user, and also A OCTOPUS WITH SWORDS EVERYWHERE
-The sword octopus says he can feeeeeel the power flowing through him, and really wants to cut something.
-his says this while sporting his very own raep-face....with blush-circles.
-...
-you know what. Those aren't steroids. They're Viagra. All they've been doing after taking the pills is smile
creepily at EVERYTHING THEY SEE.
-sword octopus runs after Robin
-OH NO...
-OH SHIT..!!!!
-RUN ROBIN RUUUUN!!!!
-TENTACLES AND WOMAN DON'T GO WELL TOGETHER!!!!!!!!! RUUUUUUUUNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!
-that was close. Thank you Zoro.
-wait...do you hear that?
-listen....
-thats the sound....of a million ZoRo fans fangasming.
! MATCH UP #2
HYOUZOU VS. ZORO
! ZORO : "He MIGHT make a good "Warm Up" before we enter the New World"
! -hyouzou's response?
! HYOUZOU : "UIIIIIII~!!!
! -HORNY OUT OF HIS MIND
! -CHAPTER END
! Hody Raep-face count this chapter : 5
the fourth one is worth a thousand though.
! ~#$%** crazy dabble **%$#~
! HYOUZOU : "Youuuuu'rrrrrreee my o-HIC-pponent?"
! ZORO : "Hmph. I true swordsman doesn't allow the drink to cloud the mind."
! HYOUZOU : "yoooooouuuu'reeeee pwreeeeeeeeeetty"
! ZORO : "No words can- wait what?"
! HYOUZOU : " I just wanna -HIC- Touch you~ with MY BODY UIIIIIII~~"
! ZORO : "WHAT?! !! DONT TOUCH ME! R-R-Robin, a little help-"
! ROBIN : "No."
! ZORO : "GOD DAMN IT WOMAN!!!!"
! ROBIN : "I suggest you put your shirt back on."
! ZORO : "DAAAAAAAAMN IIIIIIIITTTTTTT AAAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!"
Haha, I love your parodies! And damn, I wouldn´t be surprised if he weren´t dead :D
Nice chapter, although I bet Sanji could take care of Wadatsumi all by himself as well ( Jinbei as well of course ^^).
But I personally don´t mind all these fights, since they are - like Zoro said - only warm-ups. I´d like people not to take them THAT seriously, since they aren´t "New World level" opponents!
And I´m really curious bout Luffy´s Snake attack :D
Chapter was nice. Build up was good. Problem is the wait every week. You would love the chapters more if you just wait and read an arc in his whole xP.
BTW, did everyone notice the newspaper they were holding in the frontpage? I could count 9 pictures there, probably the SH? Bounty Raises probably?
It's the news about their comeback. This is what this cover series is about, every week someone is reading the newspaper.
If Madam Shirley was on Hody's side and faced Robin, it would've been the sexiest fight in OP history.
Yet more proof we aren't living in the best of all possible worlds…
Thank you, sir.
Ah! Warden Magellan! There you are.
Can you help me with this poor excuse for tortu–Huh? What's that?You want me to clean your toilet? With my toothbrush?
Yes, warden~! Right away!
Blasphemy that man is an impostor!
now if you wanna clean my toilet its over there, let me get in there quick before you do it though.
If Madam Shirley was on Hody's side and faced Robin, it would've been the sexiest fight in OP history.
What I mean is a true and worthy opponent who'll give Robin a challenge so we can see what she is fully capable of.
But yeah, Her vs Shirley would of been hot as hell.

And since there's a lot of mud, well…:ninja:
I totally loved the chapter, felt it was quick, but still loved it. And finally! the matches are getting ready!
HELL YEAH!
I can see why Jinbei might join the crew, but honestly i don't think they need him. Each crew member has a specific role and I don't know what Jinbei's role would be, Unless he is a secret scientist on his spare time or a Bartender or something, I don't think he will be much useful
They do need a guide and Mr. Exposition for the New World… cough
Did Oda kind of copy the Ren punch with Jinbe's kick making the water in Wadatsumi's arm rupture? So all high tiers are more than twice as durable as a 100-200 foot giant. Moriah took a comparable move and Ace must have taken plenty.
I really hope the Snake Bite hints that Luffy can use palm thrusts to cause internal damage on enemies when smashing with his fists doesn't work. Only what would be the animal theme?
I guess we'll see Wadatsumi continue to pop pills and continue to get wrecked by Jinbe and Sanji.
How would Robin have fought a doped-up blue-ring octopus merman swordsman, when her only means of attacking are susceptible to both swords and poison? It would've been like Luffy's first fight with Magellan, except with three swords.
That was perfect!
Robin fandom is running high…she was never going to have a chance against Hyouzou. He was Zoro's opponent the second he appeared.
My thoughts EXACTLY, anybody who thought she was going to even attempt to go up against Hyouzou is dreaming. Also, not really a zoroxrobin fanboy but this is what, at least the 2nd time he's saved her from death via sword (or at least injury via sword)..
This chapter was awesome. The thing that always makes me laugh is that while Luffy name's his shots, he doesn't say which one it is until after he's already hit you with it. Also snake shot it awesome, I'm glad to see he has some brand new techniques. I am looking forward to Zoro vs Hyouzou but I wish this chapter had focused a little more on Luffy, still this was just a set up to all those individual battles which will be a great deal of fun.
I kinda gotta disagree, we've had over 2 years of Luffy-centered material, if anything we need a bit less Luffy right now. I personally need to see more crew!
Saw the chapter!
Not bad! Liking the match ups so far.
I wonder who Robin's gonna fight?
Zeo would be my guess, invisible fighter vs. Robin's DF could prove to be verrrry entertaining.
Hyouzou taking pills I don't favor but if it makes him a good match for zoro then whatever. Once I saw the white hair I immediately assumed he turned into what Hodi did.
Maybe Jinbe could be Crew Dancer.
Do you guys think, now that both Hody and Hyouzou had an "awakening", that the other commanders of the NFP will do the same? This whole thing will probably have a terrible side effect like instant death or a long coma after the effect wears off, but considering how many pills they already took, I don't see them caring about dying as long as they get the job done.
Brook vs caribou (cause the only thing you can use against a logia user in a fight besides haki is music!!!!)
This totally brought a new idea to me. Maybe Brook can attack logia's so fast they don't even have time to react and turn to their elements? It seems kind of overpowered now that I think of it but it could work. Also, it seems like Brook's powers aren't really great for one on one fights. Just taking out fodder.
I really want to know how far Robin has taken her skills while with the Revolutionaries, I'm sure she might have actually fought against Hyouzou, but swords vs swords just HAS to happen. I mean, who else is Zoro going to fight! He needs a swordsman to test his skills, not fodder :happy:
Wadatsumi will be a very quick fight, me thinks.
It's too early to judge brook's new powers and no strawhat is only capable of only fodder duty at this point D:<

Something definitely happened to wadatsumi's hand after jimbe gave it kick. That new visual affect leading to his hand may very well be what you described. Giants just don't seem to cut it in one piece, hopefully he will put up at least 1/4th of the fight Oars Sr did.
My thoughts on the chapter, page by page:
Ok, with the mention of the Reverie even in the cover story, i`m officially convinced there will be a Reverie arc soon
Ok, major focus on Deckens hand touching Hodi.
That little flashback panel wa sa little unnecessary, we all saw him touching Hodi, Oda.
Knifes in his shoes?? He`s Buggys long lost brother!
I feel so sorry for Decken now :(
He pulled her hair! You fight like a girl, Hodi!
Snake Shot looks pretty cool, though I don`t know why it hurts Hodi so much.
I love how sure Hodi still is of himself even after getting owned repeatedly. Love Luffys line about protecting everything, reminds me of when he learned the Gear technique after fighting Aokiji.
And I feel so sorry for Wadatsumi, too. Poor guy, he is crying like a little child. So innocent…I hope he doesnt get hurt too much.And Zeo is pretty cunning, I
ll give him that.
Impressive move by Jinbe. Wow. So he can do more than just strangle random fishmen.
He has to fight against both Sanji AND Jinbe?ß Thats not fair at all!
Hyouzo turned into a monster guy like Hodi? Cool. And he did so because he was using Energy Steroids while he was drinking all the time?
And Hyouzo vs. Zoro is official, nice.
Pretty cool chapter. Much setup, but still.
Do you guys think, now that both Hody and Hyouzou had an "awakening", that the other commanders of the NFP will do the same? This whole thing will probably have a terrible side effect like instant death or a long coma after the effect wears off, but considering how many pills they already took, I don't see them caring about dying as long as they get the job done.
Basically the first thing Zeo said when he was introduced is that they didn't care about dying, so yeah, I can definitely see it happening.
Now I feel bad for Van Der Decken I mean….
How could one not. :(
I have a feeling maybe he lost consciousness, like Shiki's powers wear off when he loses consciousness. Just Hodi, being his insane self took it one step further and tried to kill him.
I definitely see Decken returning and maybe he catches Hody by surprise and ends up beating him while he's attacking Shirahoshi and she thanks him and they actually get married and become an ally of the SH. :D TOTALLY FANFIC. I KNOW. And he can lock on to Luffy with the other hand and like send photos. ;DDD
Quick, probably stupid question: is the Noah coated or something? Are Decken and Hodi fighting in air? Because I don't see a bubble for Decken.
Least favorite part of this arc has been trying to understand the physics/logistics of it all.
Noah is coated I noticed the bubble stretches and sun reflecting off of it in one of the first panels. Atleast it has the coated effect

http://mangastream.com/read/one_piece/30792763/7 It looks like there's a relatively flat coating stretching across the outer rim of Noah, over the deck.
Hyouzou taking pills I don't favor but if it makes him a good match for zoro then whatever. Once I saw the white hair I immediately assumed he turned into what Hodi did.
Same here I actually never thought that Hyouzou would transform but then again he needed to transform if he's going to fight zoro does anyone think that some of the other NFP will also transform?
If they all transform it'll make Luffy and Zoro's fights look less suiting. :/
If they all transform it'll make Luffy and Zoro's fights look less suiting. :/
Well yeah but I hope one of the NFP tranforms so that Sanji can fight him ALONE jimbe can take care of himself xD
the fuck Oda? Wadatsumi versus SANJI and JINBE isnt a fight, this is bullying !! this chapter was pretty bad, clumsy writing all around.
first impressions:
-reverie should be the climax of this arc/saga
-and hell yes this is my kind of chapter
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
the fuck Oda? Wadatsumi versus SANJI and JINBE isnt a fight, this is bullying !! this chapter was pretty bad, clumsy writing all around.
you really think that's not gonna change?
you really think that's not gonna change?
i hope so, but the WADATSUMI VS. SANJI AND JINBE card makes me doubtful ! unless Wadatsumi becomes a demon or something this is a very weird match up.
Same. At this point, I'd be more surprised if he didn't than anything else. He fits in pretty well skill-wise, he's a fishman, he's Luffy's friend, he had a connection with Ace, he vowed to protect Luffy, etc. So many more reasons for him to join than not. Either way, great chapter. Looking forward to Zoro's battle and the Sanji/Jinbe asskicking.
I don't see how anyone defends him joining anymore entirely because of his last line here:
http://www.mangareader.net/one-piece/634/8
Let me protect it from now on. Thats like a 90% chance of no joining
DerangedBones, I missed your mock reviews in the last thread, because they were posted so late in it. But wow, theyre hilarious :) Please keep
em coming.
the fuck Oda? Wadatsumi versus SANJI and JINBE isnt a fight, this is bullying !! this chapter was pretty bad, clumsy writing all around.
HERETIC! no but on a serious note maybe the fight was to show jimbei's strength compared to one of the monster trio to give us a little hint on whether jimbei is too powerful to join or not
was this chapter hard to read for any one else. anyway pretty good chapter. half of the matches are set. the cover story was a little bite more interesting to me. future reverie arc and all.
JINBEI : "Damn. Didn't even get to choke that guy."
Can't fight it, that's my fav line.
Unrelated, I think pretty much all of the NF Pirates need to overload on steroids to be serious threats, otherwise it'll make the other SHs look bad. Regardless of how strong or weak you think the guys below Luffy are…come on. It stands to reason that these guys were probably weaker then Hodi originally was, who was OHKO'd by Zoro. This is probably the start of a pattern. Wadatsumi is probably going to get more roids from Zeo before this arc is done. He could become a drug pusher, how unexpected.
