I just can't believe it! Oda's flashbacks are so bad. Always boring. Always.
You can't be liking the anime at the moment much then?.
The flashbacks are part of the bind that holds One Piece together, you don't like them, skip them.

Even if they aren't repeat species they're still sharks. There are a lot of awesome and unique fish I'm sure Oda would include if he knew about them. I don't think it's a bad thing to have a lack of knowledge of fish, most people don't know as much about fish as I do. We have nine sharks but there's no tangs, triggerfish, damsels, wrasse, angelfish (both freshwater and saltwater), groupers, cichlids, barbs, tetras or livebearers.
Not to mention Oda made Chew a kissing gourami, even though his abilities are that of an archer fish.Kalifa may have been the weakest of the CP9 but she was never addressed as being particularly weak by any of the CP9 to the point that it was noticeable problem.
How the hell do you know Oda doesn't know about fish? Its confirmed that Oda has done A LOT of research for the species he is using in this arc. I think it was in some interview where he stated that he was glad to have done more research after his not very unique designs at arlong park (his words). You have no idea what Oda has in store for the rest of this arc so keep quiet.

Although I am not sure about the credibility of this statement of Oda, since I can't recall hearing that anywhere, I suspect that yes, he did his research - he does in the vast majority of the cases.
Not trying to copy the 'subtle' rudeness of the post above me, but I guess what he wants to say is, you sound way to arrogant ("I don't think it's a bad thing to have a lack of knowledge of fish, most people don't know as much about fish as I do.") - what makes you so knowledgeable, may I ask?
I'm not saying that you are definitely NOT, but I'd like to hear something that backs this up, just so it doesn't sound as arrogant and I can actually see that you have something to back up these accusations - if you are a marine biologist, great, then I take my comment back.
Prove it. :getlost:

You can't prove a negative you idiot.
It's on you to demonstrate what literally nobody has "seen" to exist. Not to claim people saying he's not in it need to prove he's not in it.

Actually i heard something of the sort on the Podcast. And well this is pretty self explanatory:
Notice that most are indeed sharks. Well sharks stick together. You don't see a shark hanging with different species much do you? Also, Sharks are known for being violent. Using the fact that a majority of Odas fishmen characters are sharks does not equate to him not doing his research and using sharks because thats all he knows.
So i think merpeople are weak anyone care to discuss??
Its not that they are weak, more that they were really overhyped like the giants. The fishmen may be stronger then your average human, but the strength of an average human rarely matters, since everyone who is in the upper ranks in any organization pretty much is a superhuman freak, so the differences between the races in One Piece rarely matters for the really strong and important people. There aren't many fishmen and giants in the highest ranks of the marines, the whitebeard pirates and the shichibukai, true, but I honestly just think that just because Oda doesn't spend most of his time thinking about how it would be fair for every fictional race, since, you know, this shit isn't real so who gives a shit about race equality in a fucking comic with shark people and people who eat magic fruits.
Just don't let it bother you.

Loving you for making the effort and listing all of those - wait, I was supporting what you said before, my friend! Just in a different way. Was trying to reply to Reyairia… Just quoted your reply to not repeat what you said.

Yeah, that'd be very disappointing coming from Zephos
Zephos ? I didn't know about this account. Is it his first one ?

gaddamn, it sounds like you just walked through the aquarium section of the pet store, scribbled the names down and then rushed over to post them all
And Oda should get some skin for doing a cookie cutter shark, a fucking awesome little bugger I hope we can get to see fight underwater possibly. It's not really about whether it's a shark or not. If it's interesting, it's legitimate for him to use - and you can't bang on Oda for liking to draw sharks.
your fish list is boring
hell, adding a betta fishman/merman would be more interesting - at least, he'd be a fighting fish of sorts that only picks fights with fish/mermen
if you want to mention Otohime, the goldfish, you have to remember he made her INTERESTING because she's actually incredibly frail since she is a goldfish - it also somehow makes her awesomeness tenfold
your petstore aquarium list is also just a tiny insignificant speck of how many fish there really are in the oceans, lakes, and rivers of the world
you might as well bash on him for the eight(and up)-legged species he's also been doing: Hacchan, Octopako, Icaros, Awesome Octopus Fishman guy next to Jinbe on page 17 of chapter 624, Hyouzou etc. THAR'S TOO MANY GRRR TEH RAGE
also, genius, there are also "sharks" that are only shark by misnomer and are really only dogfish
Christ, people.
Oda really likes sharks. He may do more non-sharks in the future.
End of discussion.
Oda really likes sharks.
I like sharks too!! They taste yummy!!
real life fact: more people eat sharks than are ever eaten by them
…I just want a gulper eel Fishman.
@Cyan:
…I just want a gulper eel Fishman.
Isn't that Macro? :wassat:
Nice chapter, felt kind of short but nice.
U know, one point that supports the "Aladdin is the bad guy"-theory is:
It takes a doctor to produce a drug like energy steroids. Just like Chopper and his Rumble Balls. Its both sum kind of doping. And in OP only a doc can make such doping pharmacy-products. At least that is my opinion. It could also be produced in that ominous candy factory we haven't seen from the inside yet.
Can I also speculate what the Poneglyph says? IMO it'll say sth like:
"In the year 722 anno maris (means 800 yrs ago in the OP-timeline) this folk has been exiled to the ocean floor. And there is a (3rd) ancient weapon somewhere. Good luck, dear reader, kick the world alliance's ass.
Sincerely, the D-Kingdom!"
Well, @ least I M serious bout the first half of it, until "Dear reader…"
Whaddoyou think?
@Mr.333:

yeeep.
c'mon cyan where you been.

Zephos - Jerk Disease - Monkey King. I like his rants. :ninja:

Yes, there're lots of awesome fishes out there. But the ones you listed, while beautiful, what can Oda really do with these fishes? Can he actually design awesome looking, strong Fishmen based on them? I doubt it. It's much easier done with Sharks and Octopuses, etc.
also, every single person that has a computer and an internet connection can claim to be an expert on fish by just googling the word "fish" and I don't think Oda wants us to be in awe because of how knowledgable he is concerning fish either. It isn't about the kind of fish they are but about the part they play in the story and their designs (although I might not be an expert on design but I know what I like) are just awesome even though there might be many Sharks.

thanks good sir, can't wait until he pops up =D
he has alot of potential !
The easy answer would be that either VDD or Hodi killed the Queen but I would like it to be someone else… to have some sort of twist... anyway im pretty sure the guy in the prophecy is Luffy... he might convince the princess to destroy the Island or something like that

Agreed. If the princess learns how to use her abilities. The WG would fear even her because she is a perfect detterent and they would be able to see the outside world and accomplishing her late mother's dream.
It would be cool that the island they choose to live with the humans is where Koala lives.
Did you think it would surprise anyone ? x)
nope, I should have put "fun fact" there.
In truth Oda can make fishmen whatever he damn well pleases, it is his manga after all.

True, but you're not saying that we shouldn't criticize it because of that, right?
One random thought that came to me today about Aladdin….
If he was a slave, how was he at the Neptune guard and left with Jinbe when Fisher arrived?....Wasn't he free by Tiger?...
Edit: I guess he could be a slave after he left the guard, there is no indication he left at the same time as Jinbe... maybe I should have seen it before posting the question...
Is it even confirmed that Aladin was a slave @ all?
Arlong said sth to him in the chapter where they brought Koala back, but did this conversation confirm that Aladin was a slave?
It was the purpose of the Sun Pirates to see no difference between ex-slaves and non-ex-slaves and it worked really good IMO.
Bout Urashima's box:
Do u think that this box can really modify someone's age? I mean it could be such a legend as the Gorgon Curse of the Boa Sisters and we know what the truth is now.
This could be just another legend where only 50% are true.
But well, we'll have to wait how Oda plays that plot out.
VDD is the best:"I'm writing wedding invitations! Wait, I've got no friends!"
Hilarious!
Caution: Bad joke inside. Please do not take it seriously! [hide]I wonder how many people could identify with VDD after he said that. Just kidding![/hide]

Yeah that line made me consider him to be the Buggy of Fishmen:
*He has a really dangerous DF ability.
*A link to a famous pirate.
*The ability to gain followers.
*He's an opportunist.
*He's been seeking a certain treasure for many years.
*He's goofy looking.
*Alternates between cunning and sheer stupidity.
The simplest answer that I can think for who did it is perhaps Hodi and Decken were already partners and Hodi created the distraction and Decken shot the Queen. He had the rifle on his back and there is a reason he had a wanted poster and was in hiding all this time. Then again OP is never that simple lol

sounds like Buggy 2
If the assassin was Vander Decken/Hodi, then there's no way they ever could have been found out. Otherwise people would've said something about them killing their damn queen when they showed up at the palace. >_>
Van Deckem and Hodi both got dominated in mere seconds by the SH's, it would be kinda lame if they were revealed to be the assassins now. If that's the case, wouldn't Oda let the mystery burn and then when the mystery is found, let us get enraged at the assassin until Luffy beats his ass?
I wouldn't be surprised if it was Neptune at this point. Sure, killing his own wife may be a little bit too much, but It'd be totally awesome if he was the villain behind this arc.
@SGR:

Uh.
Sixteencharacters
Alternatively, could be someone in the Government, and Neptune ends up being the semi-villain of this arc because he got tricked by whoever shot Otohime. Would also be cool.
And yes, I'm just saying this because I want Luffy VS Neptune.
Considering Zoro blocked a strike by Neptune's trident effortlessly and the fact that Neptune's back is screwed after a single attack, I'm putting my money against ever seeing an actual fight between the two.
Oh right. Completely forgot about that.
Fuck this shit, every single possible Villain in this arc has been effortlessly defeated by Luffy or Zoro.
Although I guess we saw Zoro VS Neptune on ground instead of Water…
