It was rather predictable the Princes was pretty strong, but I'm affraid that it's like Tsumegeris with Crocodile, strong men, very strong, but not enough.
I think they would have kicked Hody's ass before but now it seems bad for them.
Moreover to me, Hody's power up is a bit excessive. Isn't it a bit too much to be able to improve from some ordinary fighter to such a monster level, maybe Shichibukai level? And to be on the edge of death and finally not dying, even improving?
I thinked there would not monster of power in the story , just bad guys messing around, not strenght ,just vicious guys like Van der Decken is about to destroy the island.
