Before I download it, what's the Raw version of the manga? Is it non-translated or something?
Raw is the original Japanese scan.

Don't underestimate the power of lightning.
If there's enough voltage, it can pierce through flesh and ,possibly, bones.
Of course, but without that high of a voltage, a person can get knocked out, and not killed. And Nami's attack could have that kind of voltage. ^-^
In real life there are no way to get fire to pass through a person without making a hole…
Obviously it could be just to look cool, and I think thats the reason. But it would be really neat if it wasn't... I mean the "fire" part would be meaningless if the fire is just for show...
From the art, it looked like (I will regret this analogy) the water tank Naruto hit with a rasengan...
Hodi's abdomen will have a small hole but the back will be completely blown out...
But that would be just too gruesome for a shounen. Yet One Piece stands at the top and if Oda felt it was necessary I think know one would be able to stop him... No other manga sells as good as One Piece, so I doubt an editor would say anything about it... And it wouldn't stop selling because of some increased gore.

I dunno editors are very influential in a manga and can be pretty picky about this sort of thing.

If they didn't stop him from showing WB with half his face blow off, something that didn't even make it to anime air, I doubt they'll stop him from blowing a hole in Hody's back, just so long as he doesn't focus on any gorey aspects.
As long as a stomach and intestines are not shown jumping out of his back, nor we have a detailed shot at the wound, I guess it would be fine.
Still it would be kinda bad for the plot Hodi dying here, thats the only thing stopping me from believing is back is ruined.

I think the wound will only prve to be fatal once he refuses treatment.
I stated a while back in the thread that Hody will have the same rare blood type as Sanji (thus making that story thread relevant and also providing a solid reason for the Sanji nose bleed gag) but refuse to accept blood from a human, instead choosing to die.
This would also be an excellent storytelling device, as it parallels Tigers death, but at the same time is incredibly different. This would also be the optimal time for Jinbe to reveal the truth about Tiger's death during an inspiring speech to bring the arc to a resolution.
Hodi just needs to be done with so we can move on.

Although i enjoy the current arc, I agree, because at the same time I'm just way more excited for the new world.
But him dying here would make the air around the boat seem pointless. I mean, HE IS SWIMING IN THE LAST PAGE… And [fish]people can't swim in air…
Obviously this could be a twist, Hodi's fight ending here, and the air serving another purpose... Well, I don't know. Its a point where anything could happen, from the probable, "Hodi gets damaged but not totally blown, and solves the problem with more ES" to "Hodi dies, and the air becomes merely a way to awake Van der Decken, since he can't swim"...
One thing is for sure, this arc is good shit, and I DON'T want it to end quickly... The longer the wait, the bigger the pleasure, right?

Really sick of these kinds of posts because it seems like people don't realize how important this arc and its history is for the OP world. We'll get to the New World.

I'm pretty sure the air was always meant to be for VDD.

Well, Luffy and Fukaboshi requested it so Luffy had somewhere to fight Hody, but yes, it's also necessary for Decken's survival.

Maybe Luffy needs all that air to suck up for a massive, Arc-stopping Gear 3rd move? That or they need it to let VDD wake up and use his powers again.

even Wadatsumi can't get nearly that big -.-
don't you see how the bird with an E on his head is pointing to West and the one with a W is pointing to East? At least it was what that guy was talking about, the prongs could be random, tough.
The west bird is facing east and the east bird is facing west….probably to troll humans lol.Remember,the south bird liked to mess with people,so maybe the children face different directions intentially to be annoying
@Baou:

lol your right. but thats assuming the "E" bird is the east bird, and the "W" bird is the "west" bird. no-one said they were for sure ;D
I would absolutely love for Hody to die, even after the magma punch cliff hanger I assumed Ace would live. Still though I just don't see Oda killing anyone for a very long time.
With that said, what in the world is Oda going to do with him after he is defeated? He wont reform, even if he needs to be given blood and it's Luffy himself giving it to him, I just don't see his ideals changing. Is he going to live all alone on the ocean floor with the rest of his racist followers? I have never been more interested in the outcome of a villain's lively hood like I am now.
I think that the most likely solution, if Oda intends to keep him alive, would be some pretty nasty side effects of the excessive drug abuse who would render Hody useless for the rest of his life, like a complete paralysis, or an atrophy of all muscles without any chance of recuperation, or something like that… Though maybe that is just too cruel for OP, I don't know...

It could also just be Oda trolling everybody by putting a W in the Eastbird's head, and an E in the Westbird's head, or maybe just it was really a mistake by Oda.

as a cabin boy ? =D
i hope luffy can get new attackes with the initial RED, just like "JET" and "Giganto"
and it seems like his new Post-TS attacks are all animal themed, is it cause of teh island he was training on ?
You answered your own question, other attacks wont get red because it was only for the animal theme of "red hawk." This also fits a gun theme too with all the other attacks, "elephant gun" and "snake shot." (bullet for snake shot)
Next week you will change your avatar to a Hody one for the million time
Maybe… only Oda knows

Good thinking there. I actually want him to reappear in the current storyline, we've seen several neat designs in the flashbacks now - I want a 2Y Arlong.

I can't wait for the next chapter. It should give a big hint as to how long this arc will be from now on. If the SH's are shown having won their individual fights, then we know it's a matter of time. But if there's going to be another twist, it'll probably be in this week's, or at least heavily hinted to.
Maybe… only Oda knows
I still don't get you, you like Hody right? So why do you only hava his avatar when there is a change that he really is not that evil? I don't think Sanji will be mad at you for liking another character lol

Exactly, Hodi character is all over the place. He went from crazy evil, to calm, and then crazy evil again. I just want him to die or get defeated already. He even hated humans before Fisher Tiger died, he really has no reason whats so ever. He just a roid up villian with moodswings. He should never compare himself with Arlong.

I'm not saying he's a bad villain or that I'm bored of him at all, far from it. He's one of my favourite villains, I'm just pointing that out to show how off his rocker he really is.
You seem to be missing the point entirely
I understand his point perfectly. He saying Hodi is acting like how he previously decribed arlong. I am just saying Hodi has moodswings and wasn't really consistent the whole chapter. He can't be compared to Arlong has a villian at all.
In the firsts pages of this topic, some guy ,who seems to have been ignored by everybody, noticed that daidaros appeared next to ikaros here

Yeah but from how I read your comment, it seemed like you thought Oda didn't plan his character or that it wasn't intentional
Hodi is just as great as Arlong (as villains I mean) and its ridiculous to call Hody a clone. He has no respect for his influences. I love Hodys character

I think he was planned from the start, but the way he potrayed him wasn't so impressive. I think this is the reason you get so much people who are against Hodi character(Also Roids + being no real threat is a factor). He seemed to have had moodswings throughout the arc and his battle with Luffy is noting special. Hodi has been getting punched over and over the whole time.(Through red Hawk was cool). He just seems like someone Luffy is using his new moves on.
Arlong had a personal reletionship with the SH's. Hodi just made luffy mad because he weirdly declared wanted to be PK. Hodi is Meh
I liked seeing how much of a personal affect Arlongs crew had on the NFP.Like,I always thought Hody's gang admired them from afar as local hero's ,but for Arlong to tell stories to Hody makes Arlongs character even cooler.
And I like how Zeo dismisses Tiger when he died,Jinbei when becoming a Shich and I bet when Arlong was defeated,Hody dismissed him as well…I think especially Arlong being defeated gave him more motivation to plan world domination because there no more Fishman pirates.

Not really, no. At this point I'd be happy about him showing up in any possible way.
And by "any possible way" I meant every way Oda would go for - nothing ridiculous, of course. But you just know if Oda reintroduced him now that it'd be awesome.
No, the sunny's bubble disappeared because it ran out of air thanks to a coup de burst, hody's seakings didn't lose their bubbles when they entered in fishman island.
They entered through the entrance legally.So I guess the border patrol just allows a horde of fishman riding ontop of sea-monsters into the country lol

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/one_piece/v59/c615/10.html Hody's comment that Arlong was "barbaric and lacked sophistication" gets more and more ironic with each chapter.
To true. Hodi is far more barbaric than Arlong. While Arlong treated Nami's home island badly, it was as bad ad Hodi does. Arlong was vivious to them and always stated that Fishmen were better than humans but none of the Arlong Pirates ever put collars on people and dragged them along after the fell in exaustion like the Fishmen Pirates. Another thing is that Arlong would never be so barbaric as to use one of his fellow fishmen as a shield against an opponents' attack, Arlong would face the attacker.
As for the "lacked sophistication" part, Arlong took his pride in his fishman strenght and did not use artifical means like ES to increase it. Both are great antagonists but Arlong is more sophisticated than a druggie like Hodi who takes teh ES before even testing the opponents strength or to take care of minor pirates that lesser crewmates of the Fishman Pirates caould take care of (refering to first showing of him usign ES and destroying the fleeing human pirate ship)
Odacchi-sensei~! Every side character who got a flashback later got at least one appearance in a cover story. Let "Hody's Rehabilitation" (or something like it) come true!
I wish I could send questions to the SBS. Well, he's already flooded with random stuff, but there's always a certain chance that my question would show up! ( w)/\ (Counting on you, Japanese readers!)

Because they're doing just fine airing crap. Why would they put in actual effort or money when it won't affect the ratings or viewership in the least? The built in audience at this point is going to watch it regardless of how much it sucks.
I still don't get you, you like Hody right? So why do you only hava his avatar when there is a change that he really is not that evil? I don't think Sanji will be mad at you for liking another character lol
It has nothing to do with that
The real challenge for SH crew will be freeing the Fishman District from racist way of thinking. Converted Hody and his crews will be a suitable agents for that.
The question is how can Luffy win their heart? I hope Hodi cruelty was also a part of the drugs side effect..
Cannot bring down racism/hate by killing and kicking down every racist person.

I already speculated about this… Of course the hate has grown cuz of the past stories and the influence of others... But maybe the ES are working like in real life making someone even mroe aggressive and out of mind... Mayve Luffy's punch into the stomach will make him pop out all thouse pills reverting him back and bringing him a bit back to his sense.
How could you change them. Luffy maybe will reach a hand out to Hody after this or maybe a blood transfusion will be needed... This would be the perfect time for Jinbei to reveal to them the true story of Fisher Tiger and on the same time the Sanji blood transfusion rejecting by fishman would have deeper meaning as well.

The point is they have to go through a bubble without losing theirs
the entrances (both, to the palace and to the island) are also bubbles
http://www.mangafox.com/manga/one_piece/v59/c638/9.html
but they are a kind that let thinks go through them, even other bubbles (the proof for this is that megalo and hoe went through the palace's entrance without lose their bubbles http://www.mangafox.com/manga/one_piece/v59/c612/12.html )
finally proof that there are two kinds of bubbles
