I'm really tired of the generic angry mob. Are they all really so dumb to unanimously assume that Luffy and the others kidnapped the other mermaids?
They hurt our mayor!
They defied God!
They tried to assassinate Iceburg!
They kidnapped the mermaids!
STFU

What's sad is they could easily prove that the strawhats were all with other people at the time of the kidnapping.
All they would have to do is just ask.

Angry mobs are never like that. They're so predicable, by the end of the arc they'll be throwing the strawhats a party like morons because they're so quick to change moods.
Well, does this shut up the people who thought Hodi would be a cakewalk? Without pills, he fucked up the palace. And now he is going to abuse his underwater advantage fighting Zoro. And he brought a trident.
also, I feel kinda sorry for Megalo. That didn't look comfortable at all.
They kind of always did that.
Though now we have no ever pre established characters in said mob. Closest we have is Madam Shirley who at the present might end up becoming a realy minor character.
I hope when she unavoidabely has to apologise, she won't use tsundere tactics to make her not have to eat her own words.
Well, does this shut up the people who thought Hodi would be a cakewalk?
Not really no. 16 characters
I think we don't get a map till oda reveal where is fishman district and what there are in the upper bubble.
Fishman district could be in the lowest large bubble (Large Frame, Bottom Left) as it's always dark and shown around more eve tree style roots.

Unless that's where the sea forest and Den are located.
@Mr.:
As much as I want to see Hodi get sliced up, this fight between him and zoro only seems like a brief spar before one gets away or there is an interruption. I get a feeling that Hyozo is the one Zoro is going to have a real match against. Anyways it would be anticlimactic. Obviously Luffy will be his opponent.
I don't know that this is obvious since there are currently two enemy captains, not just one. To me it seems more likely that a fight between Luffy and Vander Decken is more imminent than Luffy vs Hodi, since Luffy is with the Princess and that is Decken's goal.
Good chapter.
With each step, Hodi is proving to be a destructive player….but hell yeah, Zoro's gonna fight him underwater. (Next disadvantage for him)
Also, Usopp in action rocked....and I lol'd at Brook's Arlong joke.

It's confusing all right. We'll just have to see who the stronger one is. It's not as clear cut as the CP9 saga when we got the douriki readings and saw that Kaku was a swordsman. Although back then I thought that Franky was going to fight blueno and chopper was going to fight Fukuro. I know for sure that Hyozo will fight Zoro though.
What if Madam Shirley's prediction was false..She might be one of the bad guys and was trying to avert the attention to the StarHats so that their plans would go smother.
Um, Zorro is badass yeah but still he plans on fighting Hodi underwater… is he really that confident of his abilities ?
And something else xD. For all those "nakama haters". I'm actually a "nakama" lover, because for me there is absolutely no word that can mean that one !.
I mean yeah the russians were our ally's duyring second world war... wanna compare that ally term with luffy's nakama ?
Comrades just makes me think of brothers in arms that dont really have anything in common but the fight they're in.
And i could go on forever, for me nakama represents a strong bond of friendship, loyalty, and love (yup i think luffy cares deeply for all his nakama). It's just so much more than any english word can provide.
Also the meaning of nakama is to belong to a group. A co-worker is a nakama, even if you don't know him , all japanese are nakama with themselves because they belong to the same nation. Si its a really wide-spread meaning, and can by NO MEANS be reduced to a single plain english word.
I'm sorry i had to put it out there, because for me each time i've read a scan having either ally or comrades in it i would literally choke to death (yup i have died many times)
With all my love :).
The truth is out ther….

Maybe she's hodi's sister, or wife
or both….:ninja:
I think Zoro is about to lose…
Zoro pledged that he would never lose again after he fought mihawk, although he lost to Arlong, Oz, Kuma….
All those fights weren't fair though, and he didn't challenge them with the intent of winning, rather just holding them off. Hence they weren't real duels. This fight is similar, so he may lose or he may be overwhelmed before someone saves him.
I think Zoro is about to lose…
Maybe. If Hordy Jones takes those steroids again I'm sure he'll beat Zoro's ass. As for Nami I do hope she's not off doing something stupid like others have said jut 'cuz she saw Hodi's Arlong Pirates tattoo. Brook on the other hand hasn't really shined yet. The only 1 on 1 battle we've seen him in was his duel against Ryuma and he almost died there. But Sanji, he better not die next chapter!!!!

I'm probably the most happy go lucky guy in the world. Don't curse a bit, prefer bright happy games over gore filled titles and I have several Disney sound tracks. But seriously man yuck! I understand why you like the word and respect your opinion but its because of those kinds of statements that I hate it!
Folks who read One Piece… Just better people. ¯\(ツ)/¯

I've just started reading the chapter and seriously, the cover page gave me shivers. I love Oda :wub: .

Everyone has their own uses to their crew. Brook may not have dominated against a name worthy henchman, yet, but he's able to take out groups plus he's nailed every one of his skull jokes.
I'm betting he'll fight someone during this arc though. My money's on ikaros or Zeo. Although there's little he can do to really defeat a serious enemy. He either puts them to sleep or does a quick jab with his fencing sword. He's got no finishing move.
Although he's got a guitar now. He might be able to split the earth with some awesome riff.
I think Luffy is gonna make Van Der Decken's right hand touch something else making him REALLY angry…..the more I think about it the more I want it to happen^^! 
sure she's behind him. I am just wondering why he's asking if something is behind HER, instead of immediately turning around by the mention of her name. it sounds like he already caught a glimpse and just didn't care. XD which may be unbelievable .. but who knows.
No, that sounds like just a bad translation.
Sanji is asking what's behind HIMSELF, he hasn't seen the princes yet.

That sounds like something Oda would do. Complete with Enel/Perona like face fault 
.
So I finished the chapter, I didn't really like how it ended but oh well. Hodi is starting to REALLY remind me of Arlong which I suppose is the point. He has the same sort of heavy water drop thing as Arlong but with arrows. I wonder how much of a fight Zoro will be able to put up under water though.

It would be great if during his two years zoro did some of his training underwater. Makes sense, since it builds up lung strength and speed, among many other things. Also there are sea kings that move quickly underwater and he would need to slice them up to survive. If that's the case then Zoro would have less reason to worry in this fight. It looks like those shark might pose a threat to him too.
The only thing Zoro has to worry is finding the way out of the palace to the surface.

He will definitely fight someone strong in this arc , its about time for him to shine.
Besides its to early to make any prediction about brook and his abilitys , yet. We dont know for sure what kind of training/powerups he had during the timeskip , i bet he will suprise us all soonish ;].
Same goes for Zoro we dont know yet what exactly he is capable of , so far we only know that apparently , he improved alot during the timeskip and his training with mihawk and in the next chapters we will most likely see how mutch he imrpoved and what he is capable of.
@Mr.:

In Unlimited Cruise Brook's signature move was Three-Paced Hum, Notch Slash. His second was the one where he plays his violin and everyone falls asleep. But who knows maybe he's upgraded to four paces now!
OK where besides against Hatchan and against Kuma and the PXs had Zoro are handicap?
Mr1? No, he just had to overcome the special ability of him like all other SHs had as well
Against Ohm? Yeah Ohm had mantra and Enel even a better one. Where was he more handicaped than Luffy?
Against Kaku? Yeah he was handucuffed but after that he could go full out and no handicap. Sanji was owned before and still was fighting Jabura
Against Ryuuma Yeah he had 2 swords… Sanji had to protect Nami from a invisible man
Seriously your love for Zoro is awesome. But don't hype that in most fights he is more handicaped than any other SH. If you name it a handicap that he has to overcome the abilites of users like Mr1 than each SH has done the same.
THIS TIME it is a handicap. Bbut all this BS speaking fo him being always handicaped is getting on my nerves.... awesome as he is.
totally agree with this.. always find this "zoro handicaped" things is BS

That would be cool, but at the same time I like it that we know Sanji did underwater training. It is such a unique ability among anyone in the entire series, I hope Sanji keeps anything like the Blue Walk exclusive to himself in the crew. At least until some type mer or fish person joins. I'm sure Zoro can handle himself just fine underwater, he did well against the sky sharks years ago so he is probably even better now. I just hope his agility in the water is nothing compared to Sanji's. We'll know in a chapter or 2.

Well we don't know for sure if he did any underwater training. He probably developed some variation of soru/geppou to help him run from the Okamas which he applied to moving under water. We know he was busy trying to get the 99 attack cuisine recipes. Perhaps he also had to swim underwater to get away from okamas though. Anyways, fighting underwater isn't something that should just be limited to Sanji. We know that Luffy, Robin, chopper, and Brook are useless in the water so it's beneficial for the rest of the crew to be formidable in the water to compensate. Maybe not Nami and Usopp but definitely Sanji and Zoro.
Hodi used a fellow fishman as a shield. Arlong wouldn't have done that. He must be extra eeeeeeeeviiiiiiiiillllll!

Or perhaps he is not that interested in fishman rights at all, maybe he is just a kid who is mad his mentor/dad/idol lost to a human and let him down.
I just noticed that Zoro can't use his three sword style in this fight. He only has two swords out because if he puts his third sword in his mouth he won't have any air at all.
So I guess the water isn't his only handicap lol.
Would've been more eco-friendly if he had just wrapped a human around his neck.
hahaha this made my day. Although I believe someone mentioned it was one of those level 5 wolves from Impel Down.

It's not even close to being one of those wolves. It looks more like a dog. Maybe one of those looooong dogs from the ring islands where they had the davy back fight. That's way more believable than Hodi obtaining an impel down wolf. Could have been brought to FI by a pirate group that passed through that part of grand line.
Edit: In case no one noticed ZORO CAN'T USE HIS THREE SWORD STYLE UNDERWATER!!! HE NEEDS ROOM FOR AIR IN HIS MOUTH!!! Just thought there'd be more of a response to that but guess not.

Like five people have said that, you're not that special.
It actually helps to read through the thread, then you don't restates things and look like an idiot.
Gotta say I didn't like or dislike this chapter. It just felt really standard. But that's the case in long arcs like these.

Lol thank you person I don't know for informing me of my stupidity. Forgive me for committing the unpardonable sin of not going through all 15 pages of text b4 posting, I'm sure such an occurrence never happens to normal people.
Looking at Hodi's efficiency with the water arrows I think there's a good chance he's capable of jinbei level fishman karate. If he is then he's probably the ultimate combo of Arlong's ambition, Jinbei's strength, and Decken's evil nature.

Nope.
Water bullets are more of a Fishman street fighting tactic.
Where are the other Fishmen (which oda introduced) ?
Nope.

I know but he's so much better at using them than arlong that he might have expanded to fishman karate. It's just a thought, it'll be proven true or incorrect when we see him deal with zoro. All those combat techs he learned in the neptune army should have included more than fishman street fighting tactics.
It makes me wonder if land-based fishman karate is not about manipulating air currents, but manipulating the water in people's bodies.

Where'd your idea come from? Gotta give an example or I can't follow your logic. If it's the water arrows, Hodi had to cover his arm in water before he could use it but I'm sure you already know that. Confused about where manipulating water in people's bodies comes in but it'd be nice if you could explain your theory.

When Jinbe was breaking out of ID with Luffy and Crocodile, he did fishman karate on land and it's assumed that he was manipulating air currents in a similar manner he manipulates ocean currents. I'm wondering if what he was really doing was manipulating the water in the bodies of the ID guards.
And how would he do that?

Oh yeah…Well it seemed like he took a tech meant for controlling water and used it on a different medium (air) and the effect just happened to work out ok. Probably uses the same theory but air doesn't work as well as water does. I doubt "the manipulating water in people's bodies" theory is viable but its an interesting idea.
Wow, I haven't been this thrilled about a manga page for months. Zoro vs Hodi, underwater? I greatly look forward to this fight!
