Glad that Sanji and Chopper are going to the forest as well and that it was hinted that VDD and Hodi aren't the main villians and some people out there are stronger than them.
Can't wait to see them.
Its Jinbei :getlost: He's bad.
Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...

whew, was worried that mangastream would cut the colorspread to pieces. glad they didn't
So that's what happened to Mangastream! I thought my computer had a problem, but they did that -__- Well, doesn't change the fact that my PC has problems to load the pages now.
The person who supplied the Fishmen with the energy steroids is probably the main arc villain. Using Fishmen to test his drugs…doesn't get more evil than that.
Dekken seemed like he was so crushed. The face emphasized how hurt he was.
I feel bad for him.
I tend to not feel bad for homicidal stalkers.
Poor Megalo. :sad:
Of course there are bigger fish: about damn time it was foreshadowed.
Haha, Shirahoshi rejects Decken after 10 years and now he wants to kill her? Right.
And yeah… Luffy and Zoro continue being badass.
Oh man Hodi is gonna flip out now! Like 100 steroids coming this way!
And I like the foreshadowing about guys much stronger than Hodi, of course he meant Jinbei, but also underlings for Big Mama?
Best part of the chapter: "You're not my type". Ice-Burn.
Luffy was so excited for such a long time to make it to fishman island, but now he hates it? I wonder if that little statement will grow into something important later, probably not, but for him to say that is pretty interesting.
Well there is that prophecy to remember. This could be the start of why Luffy would want to destroy Fishman Island in the first place.
The scene with Sanji would carry more weight if Shirahoshi were actually hot. She is the most underwhelming "beauty" in the entire series and way less attractive than every other hot mermaid they've met. Its like Oda didn't even try to make her seem especially attractive.
Kinda lame there wasn't a fight between Hodi and Zoro. Wanted to see Hodi becoming increasingly frustrated before getting taken out and resorting to the pills.
He will take out the pills soon my friend.
Yeeep, Hyouzou's hype was justified. He blocked a Jet Pistol with no sweat. Anyone still think he's Brooke's opponent?
Was NOT expecting this in the slightest.
And these two pages

they are so wondrous I think I might have just orgasmed.

She looks like Nami and nami is hot. Is Sanji not in love with Nami? :getlost:
Can't wait to see the true baddies + the history
Guys stronger than Hodi:
Jinbei
Hyouzou
Big Mama Underlings
Any of the Princes?
???
first 5 pages yaay ! xD good chapter lil short for my liking
Goddamn my head is spinning too much excitement.Bravo Oda!!
Every single bit of this chapter, I loved. Special lol at how VDD and Hordy were taken care of in split seconds bring in davy jones now pretty please .
A lot of fuel for speculations until next week Sea Forest here we come!!

It depends on what definition of beautiful you're going for. Shirashoshi is a "cute" type of beautiful while Hancock would be more of a "hot" type of beautiful.
I suddenly find myself wanting a mock up archie cover with Shirashoshi and Hancock replacing Betty and Veronica.
Hyouzou is probably hired by someone else and not Hodi and VDD that useless fodder.
I seriously doubt Hodi is down already, but this shows that he will not be this arc boss anyway.
His lieutenants are still in perfect condition, so I believe we'll learn they actually work for another fishmen and are as strong as (or stronger than) Hodi. There is also that octopus merman who could be hired by the said person.
I expect some ex-ally of Jinbe back in the time when he worked along with Arlong (someone as strong as Jinbe or maybe even his previous boss).
u can tell if someone is fodder or not just by lookin at the character if they are not unique = they are fodder..
Villain might be Doflamingo. He could have supplied the energy steroids so they would get rid of Neptune. Then he could waltz in and take control of the island.
@Sonic:
Guys stronger than Hodi:
Jinbei
Hyouzou
Big Mama Underlings

The 3 princes? But for me, all the "stronger than hodi" talk points to the 'candy' factory. Totally looking forward to the next chapter now, so what if I say this every week…
Wow, what a better chapter than I was expecting from peeking at the spoilers. All the issues discussed there were pretty much nullified, like the loss of tension being mitigated by Nami's stating there are way stronger enemies on the island and such.
Despite VDD being being beaten by Luffy quickly I think he is one of the people stronger than Hodi, also Hyouzou of course,
I think the guy who is the master of Fishman Dojo (if there is one of course) is another contender.
Good chapter.
Epic
I hope I'm not the only one wanting Nami x Camie porn now….
On another note, I'm kind of disappointed that Nami and Camie kind of abandoned Usopp and Brook. I mean, Zoro will make his way for sure but she could have at least cared a bit for the other two...
And I know that Camie can't carry more than one but still...
Still, I'm excited for Nami's meet-up with Jinbe and the others~
And I love Shirahoshi even more now
And no, she doesn't look like Nami, god dammit :getlost:
so many awesome bits in this chap
Thanks for the chapter…even with all it's sadness, Japan gets a little joy this day.
Well...that was quick. Both Vanderdecken and Hodi are down...so...now what? Hopefully Jimbei will give us some answers we need on that.
Luffy seems to be using jet for everything
And i doubt big mom underlings would be a problem if anything she dislikes hordy if they were working for her than i dont see how they couldn't have taken over the island already.
I guess Robby has been right all this time, this is gonna be one looong arc, with many more bad guys. I have a feeling that Hodi and Decken will still have a big part to play, but at least we know that Hodi won't be the big bad of the arc.
I wonder if Big Mam left any of her subordinates to protect FI.
Zoro = Badass
Zoro is the most Zoro character in One Piece.
I love how Luffy doesn't call the princess by her name lol. "Scaredy-Cat don't run away!!!"
With Jinbei having contact with Nami… I am almost sure that he will join the crew... unless he has his own crew and we get special peepz there. TBH I would like a blowfishman >:.
About Luffy:
Jet Attacks are just his normal attacks now I think.
Decken's still got a part to play in this, I think. He took a pretty heavy blow from Luffy - and got up quickly enough. Now he obviously isn't going to give our top three any serious trouble unless they're really handicapped, but don't completely write him out yet. Not as arc villain, mind, but not a complete non-threat. I still think he may be one of those people that Hatchan was talking about as stronger than Hodi.
Hodi, though… well, now I just wonder about Jimbei's message. Even so, he still hasn't popped any pills. Maybe it'll be like back in the Kuro arc when Zoro fought those cat guys - his fat stopped Zoro's cut from taking him out entirely and he powers up massively >_> Though he's obviously (and thankfully, I felt all along that we just couldn't get Arlong 2.0 for a big bad) not the arc villain.
Yeeep, Hyouzou's hype was justified. He blocked a Jet Pistol with no sweat. Anyone still think he's Brooke's opponent?
Why not? That just puts more emphasis on how powerful the SH and M.trio have become if Brooke handles somebody who would likely be a good opponent for pre-ts Zoro. I doubt Luffy has used CoA since hitting the Kraken so Hyouzo is still fair game for Brook or a Prince. Won't be Zoro's serious fight.
The scene with Sanji would carry more weight if Shirahoshi were actually hot. She is the most underwhelming "beauty" in the entire series and way less attractive than every other hot mermaid they've met. Its like Oda didn't even try to make her seem especially attractive.
Kinda lame there wasn't a fight between Hodi and Zoro. Wanted to see Hodi becoming increasingly frustrated before getting taken out and resorting to the pills.
PERSONAL TASTE MAN
obviously to oda she is the hottest. hell take 20 celebrity females and the votes will be split between them all randomly. some find some type hotter. some will find nami hottest, some hancock, some robin, some shirahoshi, some ect.
though i do agree that the scene would have been better if she weren't balling her eyes out and looked good in teh scene
He was called strong by **post-**TS Luffy and blocked a **post-**TS Jet Pistol without breaking a sweat. Remember how Rob Lucci couldn't block **pre-**TS Jet Pistols? Why would he not be Zoro's serious fight at this point?
But whatever, I'm not going to continue a power level discussion, but I don't get why you would think that Brooke can handle Hyouzou as things stand now.
Wow, I am so appreciative right now, To be able to publish Manga during these times and so quickly, Thank you so much to everyone.
My thoughts and Prayers go to everyone over in Japan during these difficult times, I really hope the best for you guys, stay strong.
VDD reminds me of buggy for some reason.
Nami remembers something from her time with arlong im sure of it. Neptune knows whats up also. Obviously a deep dark secert hangs over Hodi so scary that neptune decided to switch to offense instead of being a sitting duck in his castle.
Seems like the keyword in the last few chapters is "Sea forest". All the answers lie there.
figure base Hodi is probably weaker than most of his subordinates, pill popping time.
TBH I would like a blowfishman >:
Wadatsumi (I think that's his name) is a blowfish if I remember correctly.
I noticed a translation mistake in page 18
Mangastream has it totally opposite of what Nami said.
In the original script (and what I can make out of the Japanese cam pic of the page, although the stupid watermark is hiding half of it), Nami is worried that Zoro and others will piss off Hodi.
However in the translation by mangastream, it says exactly opposite of that, Nami ISN'T worried about the fact.
I thought it made sense that she wasn't worried. I thought Nami was just being Nami but if Aohige says it's wrong then it probably is.
