One Piece thread (Spoilers)

Well I guess swimming = impossible but powers I guess can work. Hodi has a devil fruit and can swim though so...

What on earth are you talking about? Hodi doesn't have a devils fruit. It was also established way back in the arlong arc that luffy could still strech underwater, he just couldn't do it willingly at that point if he was completely submerged, which he isn't because of the bubble.

pineapple sorry Loz I misread http://mangastream.com/read/one_piece/27862757/18 top left corner....you are absolutely right.

I think it'd be a bit silly to suddenly introduce devil fruit users who could swim, although It'd probably still be less of a problem for a merman/maid/fishman because they could still breath underwater, they just couldn't swim. Maybe he could steal deckens fruit the same way blackbeard stole whitebeards if he gets desperate enough.

Also, speaking of blackbeard, I guess that shows that oda isn't compeltely set in stone on breaking the devil fruit rules (i.e. one per person in that case) if it arises, and a fishman would be the most likely candidate to be able to swim using a devils fruit. I mean, it makes them feel weaker, which leads to them sinking like a stone, so no human would try, but that wouldn't be as much of a problem for a strong fishman who could still breathe under the water. Maybe with enough effort they could learn to swim again.

Edit: Anyway, at least we're getting to the main fights now, the straw hats still have Robin, Nami, Franky, Brooke, Ussop and Chopper vs Dosun, Zeo,Daruma and Ikaros. Although, I suppose Dosun and Ikaros could have been offscreened by Zoro and Sanji when they attacked Luffy and the 2 blocked the attacks.

I'm not sure who else is going to end up fighting who though.

Except now we know he's not dead. Oh well.

Fights are decided...So that leaves robin and nami just to deal with the weaklings? Boring.

Maybe robin will abuse her ability to make giant parts of herself and catch Noah?

Or take it apart before it hits the bubble (her training was to put together a massive ass bridge so taking apart a massive ass boat would make sense) which would be way more awesome.

Nah, I don't think it's possible for anyone except Blackbeard. According to Marco, there's something unusual about Blackbeard's body. I doubt that there's an obvious and easily available method for Hody to be able to do so, but good guess.

Also, I guess that what will really show off Luffy's strength after the timeskip is stopping Noah. If there's another way to make them be able to stop Noah, Nami could create thick layers of clouds or use wind to slow down Noah and Robin could use her massive hands to catch it and put it down without harming it.

Anyone else think that princess gets seaking powers to help pul the ship away from the bubble? Better than the crew going hadouken all up on Noah's arc.

Kind of boring chapter tbh. Wanted to see Zolo in big action.

Nice guess Worthy, maybe.

I think she will call sea kings and get Noah away.

She's going to call the sea kings when hody pops luffys bubble and tries to kill him. Noah will be disassembled by robin.

Well robin is an architect so I could imagine her taking apart mid air then rebuilding it somewhere else.

She's an archeologist, not an architect.

Or...maybe that ship is connected with the weird stones she reads? It's somehow important so they can't destroy it? AND THEN she franky rebuilds it somewhere else!

Think of kind of a spongebob effect

-takes apart and boxes it up like a puzzle, reopens it and rebuilds it later-

True form eh...wonder what it is.

Air bubble will help Luffy fight but...?

Luffy is kicking ass even in a small bubble, he broke Hodi's teeth LOL albeit he did take damage. Still impressive how much he blocked it, damn.

Haki Hax FTW?

"True form" Oh god, here it comes. >_> Another hax upgrade that will only make him on par with haki luffy, but not with gear second haki luffy. I just hope noah gets filled with air, luffy f'ucks hodi's s'hit, and then makes some propellers or something and saves noah.

From way back:

Damn, Hodi's transformation was underwhelming from what I was expecting based on last week's chapter. I was expecting him to become some kind of inhuman monster, but the fact he came out okay suprised me. Also, how the heck did his coat change colors?

Oh, never mind about this post. I really hope that his "final form" doesn't disappoint. I was starting to think "Oh snap" when I saw Hody's mouth gape open with water bubbles, only imagining what kind of crazy berserker form he has. I personally think it'll be more of a match for Luffy, but it'll still be fairly easy. Also, I'm not sure if you guys picked up on it, but he quickly pops an energy steroid while he's falling from Luffy's punch near the end of the chapter. Those steroids were pretty much the only thing really keeping him going this whole time, not exactly that he really was strong.
