@Ares:
A chapter this week?? Awesome considering the situation over there,the week without chapter should have been this one. cheers japan, you will recover for all of this!!
After reading the chapter, it seems pretty obvious as most of us though that Hodi wont be the main villian, in fact I think more than never that he will be redemed.
And I am also quite sure about who will be the final boss of FI. I am betting on Luffy fighting Caribou and his brother Coribou both at the same time. Think about it: The combined bounty of Caribou and Coribou equal Luffy's bounty. Also, Caribou is a confirmed Logia, so the fight would show Luffy's improvement with Haki over this 2 years.And also it would be quite cool to have the Luffy beating the (Probably) top 1 new Supernova captains. Him beeing MIA make this even more plausible, since it could mean Oda wants us to forget about Caribou in order to surprise us later.
The thing that really is surprising me is that people are treating him like fooder when he is in the top 10 of the known (For us, readers) bountied people and a Logia Fruit user. As far as we know, in all the island only Luffy would be able to stop him, since no other people has been confirmed as a Haki user and no weakness about the fruit has been revealed. What make you people think he will be so easy to deal withm that you consider him more an annoyement than a threat?
He's dumb… that's pretty much it, and being a logia he would be a pretty good fodder example ... err...well I just can't think of him as a serious threat, I just can't... even though he is a logia!
