Meanwhile the other Straw Hat Pirates face off against the New Fish-Man Pirates officers who are equally eager to finish their opponents off as everyone prepares for the fight once again as the fate of the people of Fish-Man Island rests on Luffy's hands and his crew. As Luffy and the siblings deal with Hody, Decken falls after trying to throw his axe and passes out and the Noah starts falling to Fish-Man Island. | ||

He states the officers are all the same and how they are just monsters born of hatred born from their ancestors and they fear their hatred will fade one day and so will their hatred towards humans and want them to be evil to justify their actions not even wanting peace for Fish-Men. He recalls what he asked what Humans did to Hody and Hody answers "nothing" and that they've been chosen by the heavens to punish humans and granted power. He goes on to state that their hatred is not from beliefs or experience, but they are nothing but empty opponents. At the same time, Hody laughs maniacally and with blood-shot eyes he charges at Luffy and Shirahoshi. | ||
