I'm sure the flashback will last maybe one more chapter and I agree, this is far better than Luffy's flashback.

Seeing more fishmen/merfolk is awesome and I think the fishmen island bit it's a nice parallel to Japan, and its history of isolation and xenophobia.

That was a good chapter.  Liked how they brought together all these characters from the arc and how the ending turned out different than you'd expect.  If Oda doesn't screw up, the next chapter could be pretty good and give the main arc and everyone involved a little more depth.

What.  This chapter was way better than the Fisher Tiger death chapter.  The Fisher Tiger half of the flashback was one of the weaker ones like the Luffy flashback.  I thought the Queen/Princess/Princes/Van Decker half was pretty good.

No, this chapter felt anticlimatic. Fisher Tiger is a great character and his fall was great because the entire chapter undoes his legend and tears down the myth of Fisher Tiger while expressing the reality of human-fishman relations. We go in thinking that Arlong was a dick, but it turns out Arlong was quite right all along in regards and you can't help but feel sorry for him, the Fisher Tiger side of the arc helps establish this. Queen Otohime is boring. The only thing she does is ask for signatures and shit. Boring character, boring resolve. So a Celestial Dragon shoots the very same mer-woman who saves his life? The queen thinks a bunch of papers will change their situation? What a naive idiot. The entirety of the Otohime side of the flashback sucks.

Fisher Tiger 4 lyfe.

I think Shirahoshi is interesting but that's it.

That said, the greatest thing about this flashback is both Fisher Tiger and how it has managed to humanize (lol) one of the most ferocious villains in the series. I actually REALLY feel for Arlong now after this flashback. I mean, I did during the Sabaody arc, but now I can't help but really like him and how he constantly hovers over a vast array of greys. I mean, sure, what he did was unforgivable. But the more you learn about his history, the more you kinda think he was a man (lol) who suffered much and ended up going too damn far.

This arc also has made me REALLY like Jimbei.

I don't understand how you can say Otohime is more interesting than Fisher, but whatever.

Good chapter.  Needed one more page at the end to transition from TALK TALK to FIGHT FIGHT better.  Was way too sudden at the end.  The Robin but was interesting.  Wonder where they will go with that.

Errr, obviously Hordy took steroids and roided up + water advantage is how he got Zoro.

Yeah, was just more setting up for the upcoming fights.  I really hope the confrontations start next chapter.

Hodi is kind of hmmm.  Oda had to power him up because he'd be no match for Luffy at normal strength.  But he also gave him his weakness so the drugs will probably be what makes him lose and not Luffy's awesome abilities which would be kind of lame tbh.

Isn't it a little late to be complaining about this though?  Oda brought them into this arc months ago and we knew it'd be the only way Hodi would be competitive since otherwise he's just an Arlong level punk.

Although it's kind of lame that the last boss arc where Luffy actually won was a similar situation with dracula guy being wimpy until he took his POWER UP and became giant super boss.

We need Luffy to start fighting more Villians around or higher than his level natural who he beats through skill+luck+nakama+courage

No chapter next week :(

Kind of lame that it's all up to Luffy to destroy everyone.  I mean they take half of Luffy's crew, Jinbe, Princess, Shark, princess, king out of the picture.  Basically building it up so EVERYTHING is on Luffy's shoulders.

Just seems a bit much drama.  Guess Oda wants to show off Luffy's upgrades some more.
