I cried… I couldnt control myself when the brothers started dancing and singing to Shirohoshi to make her stop crying... my god, I'm starting to like these brothers now :')
Chapter 626: "The Three Neptune Brothers" Discussion

Does one of the fishmen in this crowd look familiar? XD
Lol, that's epic. If it's on purpose … Oda is awesome :D
-
It seems like we're supposed to think it wad Decken, the panel after she's shot a guard chases him away from the princess and he has a rifle at his waist.

But it seems so obvious it wasn't him. He was WAY too close to have aimed and fired a rifle with no one seeing. He also had no relevant motive (or motive at all). And he's too much of a silly character to have done it imo.
Not a very good red herring.
-
I knew Otohimes death was coming and Oda still managed to surprise me, because it just happened so suddenly and out of nowhere. I love the character developement of the three Princes in this chapter, I thought they were pretty bland before, but now I like them. Well done, Oda.
So, who killed Otohime? I don
t think it was Vander Decken, why would he needlessly have to kill her to touch Shirahoshi? That doesn
t make sense. The Nobles are prime suspects (there had to be a catch when they signed these papers), but I dont know how they could have done it. I personnally suspect Hodi. He was absent in this chapter and we know fromt he present that he doesn
t think too highly of the Queen.I bet we`ll get a scene later this arc where someone tells Shirahoshi "I killed Mufasa:devil:…I mean Otohime".

Hahahahahahahahah, thats awesome
-
I never cared much for those brothers until this chapter. That panel with them dancing is both funny and sad. And I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who thinks that the shadow bears a resemblance to Shanks.
-
The shadow is just "generic person image".
-
VDD had the gun on his back in the begining of this chapter when he decided to wait 10-20 years to marry her. I can see him taking advantage of the confusion to touch her. But doesnt seem smart to kill the mom to marry the daughter.
He clearly doesnt care about shirahosi or otohime so i guess its possible he shot her. Maybe someone said it would be easier to marry her if otohime was dead and being as stupid as he is he did it.
-
doesnt anyone suspected aladdin? he appears in both tiger and the queen deaths. he smells fishy to me.
-
Been spending my morning doing things so didn't get the chance to read it until now but I do thank those who worked on it.
I really don't want to hop onto any "Shirahoshi for SH" campaigns but this chapter is hinting she is due for something major soon. Interesting though that the other two brothers became musical to prevent her Sea King summoning from occurring on the day mom died.
And the "magic age box" Vander Decken spoke of…something tells me that it's actually the DF Bonney ended up with somehow or another. (could be something else but considering all supernatural things seem to be DF related and Bonney is the only character we know of with time/age powers...though how she could get it prior to diving into the New World would have to be explained...if it is)
-

Of course he smells fishy:ninja:.
But man there are quite a few possibilities of who killed her. I am intrigued.
VDD makes me feel like he's the Fishmen version of Buggy. He's so weirdly goofy I couldn't actually think of him as a threat.
-
I found it funny that Vander Decken's lackey's had the letter's 'A' and 'B' on them. It reminded me of Zoro and Sanji fight on Enies Lobby, that Sanji was pirate lackey 'A'.

As a side note, The "magic box" is pretty well known in Japanese Culture (called the Tamatebako) and its folklore with Urashima Taro & Princess Otohime has been featured in a lot of various Manga & Anime like Dragon Ball Z, Yu Yu Hakusho & the like.
You can read about it here:

The assassin is the assassin… That means it's Hyouzo:ninja:
-
- neither margaret/hancock/jinbei/shirahoshi/whatever will join…. this is mentioned so often nowadays that you almost can't tell anymore if people are trolling or are actually trying to be serious...
- considering how VDD's henchmen seemed smarter than himself , i highly doubt VDD was the one who shot otohime.. he seems to goofy.... and noone did anything against him before because it's not illegal to walk around carrying a firearm apparently..
- as already made clear last week, shirahoshi can call upon sea kings... no haki involved whatsoever..
- even though otohime says she was careless, even if you can predict someone attacking you, does not mean you can never get hit
- the image of the man of the prophecy (even though it's most def. luffy) can simply be a PLACEHOLDER image just to not already reveal an obvious silhouette.
- the whole partition paper could have been fake from the get go... for some reason if there is a spy or something from the tenryuubito involved, the next destination for the straw hats to wreck havoc could be mariejoa, if they are ever ment to go there storywise, it's right above fishman island and much like marineford it could become the last detour arc before entering the new world.
- something big is going to go down for the merfolk once the fishman island arc is over, there is going to be some big changes to the world in one form or another with luffy and crew to blame
- still awaiting robin's part of the story, whatever is inscibed on the poneglyph on fishman island can turn the whole story into a different direction.
-
If she ever had a chance these developments effectively kill it. With such a power she can actually protect and lead her people after their inevitable migration. Not just ditch the job to her brothers and dad to go sailing for some inexplicable reason.
Yes, it is possible that she'll be Vivi 2.0, but unless Luffy can somehow teach her (Maybe simply awaken fully) to use her power in this single arc, her travelling with the strawhats, increasing her knowledge and experience of the world to return to FI as a mature woman ready to be queen isn't an impossibility.
-
So the Mermaid Call was a "voice" from the heart. It's not King's Haki, but Shirahoshi has something more powerful.
The chapter was beautiful except for VDD's scheming antics in the beginning. Although silly, the Urashima's Box is intriguing. It's not really like Pandora's Box.
So the assassin is completely shrouded in mystery. Not even a shadow, there are no clues to who it is. Aladdin was there at the incident, and might be an important character, but that's hardly convincing for him to be the killer.
-
Don't like the casket shit… Dunno why... even if we have DFs and such a stuff... A magical boy which makes you older suddenly? Well dunno don't like it.... But maybe it will something different
Jeez…didn't you understand?
The urashima's casket thing is joke by oda.Urashima Taro's legend is a famous japanese child story..oda is using it here to show how dumb and childish van der decken's plans are.In fact, all that scene with decken was made to show how stupid he is. -
The assassin is the assassin… That means it's Hyouzo:ninja:
last i checked Hyouzo doesnt use a gun.
The Aladdin theory seems interesting. Maybe he's a spy for the nobles or something, in exchange for his freedom.
-
This post is deleted!
-
Maggie shot Otohime.
-
What a great chapter, the Queen finally dies and I was a little sad :sad: I wouldn't mind if the mermaid Princess joined but I'm still a little unsure if she will. I think we all know who the one that will be helping guide the mermaid princess I wonder how Luffy will do it? Can't wait to see that. Seems will be getting Straw hats V.S Hodi and his group, man is that going to be epic! I'm pretty sure the guy who shot the Queen is Hodi, oh boy that will cause problems. Over all a fun chapter and it looks like will be heading back to the present next one, Oda your a genius :happy:
-
It would be interesting if the killer was related to Jimbei in some way. Something that would make Jimbei feel responsible for the predicament.
-
What a chapter. The brothers are great and van der decken just keeps getting more hilarious.
@Nectar:Maggie shot Otohime.
It was the one-armed man on the grassy knoll. :ninja:
-
IDK. That piece of paper from the world noble to Otohime seems to me like the promise from Arlong to Nami, bout letting go of Cocoyashi.
"IF u can collect 100mio I'll let go of Cocoyashi… IF!"
"IF there are signatures, I'll support them... IF!"
There should be a non-asshole world noble? Good joke!I think this is the best theory I've read in this thread so far. I was thinking it was very suspicious that the world nobles had agreed to do something and this makes sense to me- why they would burn the signatures and kill her. Motive. I can't see anyone else there who has a clearly defined motive without having to make up a lot more speculation.
-
So i guess Decken represents the one who would guide Shirahoshi to be evil? If so that lends credence to the idea of him being the arc boss being antithesis to Luffy. But i just can't take him seriously as a threat or villain as of now.
-
this is the second time (I think?) that Luffy's drawn somethign that everyone made fun of but kind of resembled the real thing. In thsi case it really does. But I remember people saying that Luffy's picture of an ideal shipwright resembled Franky.
-
i laughed hard with VDD and his underlings this chapter. He definitely is Forever Alone Guy.
the part he touched Shirahoshi and ran to avoid being shot was epic XP
He´ll do fine on the tournament
-
VDD won't be the final boss. He's already been defeated by Luffy (who was tied up), ffs.
-
I dont think the silloute is of the specific person and to me its obvious its luffy
-
I couldn't find the Luffy drawn fishman in the crowd there. I sw Keimi and Pappug eventually but I couldn't find the bad drawing of Luffy actually existing.
-
That urashima casket sounds like a great plot device to give mermaids and mermen legs among other things like possibly make VDD younger.
Very good chap.
I wouldn't even mind if their is another bad guy as long as it's the assassin.
-
Does one of the fishmen in this crowd look familiar? XD
Hahahahahaha Great Find!
Flashback is neither about Jinbe nor Shirahoshi, but he's telling the story, except for the parts where he wasn't there. It's still really too early to say who should join the Strawhats. Let's see Luffy's opinion on the whole story.

It's actually a fish_woman._ Look for the fish version of Nami that Luffy drew.
-
VDD is going to be the new crewmember :ninja:
I actually liked Vander Decken right from the start and I'm clad he doesn't seem to be ultimate evil villain, instead he is somewhat stupid and goofy like Buggy When I first saw VDD it made me remeber the other drawing that luffy made Although there's no other resemblance than having more legs than two…
-
Oh man. Awesome chapter. I wonder if Luffy is that chosen one who'll help her use her powers and stuff…
Also, i fucking want that special edition Ace watch. I must have it.
-
I've read some theories that the princess would join the crew…
At first I was like "Lol no."
But then I realized San Juan Wolf doesn't have an equivalent in the SHR crew outside of a possible "Mecha" Thousand Lion-chan.
This is the part where my heart sinks...
-

It looks like Shanks

Shirahoshi is nowhere near as big as San Juan Wolf
-
Good chapter. But whats with the sea kings actually being a threat? They were always fodder for someone strong, I don't see how this sea king controlling power even compares to the military power of the marines and the yonkou crews.
-
What with all the JFK refrences going on here's another for you. Vander Dekken and his 'magic bullets'.
-
Just for fun, what if the age-box does exist, and what if it gets used to age or de-age one of the SHs?
And thus Robin became a very mature 17-year-old, and Sanji's heart exploded.
-
The assassin is
Hordy Jones.don
At least, until proven inocent. -

I think there's a difference between those Sea Kings and some of the other ones. The ones that exist in the Calm Belt, for example, seemed huge on a scale that's different from most of the Sea Kings seen since, save the ones that ate the ship earlier in this arc.

they are going to make the princess 30,so that she will get legs^^.
-
The Smoking Man is responsible for the assassination of Otohime.
-
Has there ever been a successful assassination in One Piece before? Because that scene was pretty brutal.
-
The Aladdin theory seems interesting. Maybe he's a spy for the nobles or something, in exchange for his freedom.
I wish people would stop with this theory. There is absolutely nothing pointing towards Aladdin having shot Otohime.

Well she does have some connection to Whitebeard.
-

Ships aren't sea monsters.
You are thinking that monsters that had Mery on top of it's nose like it was nothing, coiled up would be of the size of an island is nothing?
What about the beast of the fog of thriller bark?It's a power on par with whitebeard, with a good collection of those beasts she could decimate every island, no boat could dare to aproach her, if there were airships she just has to submerge and she and her army would be safe.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
The box could have been the price that Otohime paid for the paper. The nobles wanted to live forever, Otohime had the age control fruit in that box, she made the trade, the nobles gave it to Boney. And this is all speculation.
-
Damn, I wish Otohime had some blood from Iceburg. Then she would've survived anything.
-
Jeez…didn't you understand?

Maybe Aohige can say more about it

You seriously think that?
