User blog:Neowitch/644 - Oh, the flashback...

Is it just me or does this chapter sound like a stereotypical "growing up in the ghetto" story? Oda sure managed to squeeze everything we know about racism into this arc. I remember watching a movie when we talked about that topic in school. It was about a bunch of Afro Americans killing white people for being racist and those who sympathized with them. Right, Oda, you are very original. But it's still kinda cool.

Basically Hody hates humans because he picked the wrong role models. Wow...

So because Hody choose to grow up to become a dick, Shirahoshi's brother asks Luffy to destroy Fishman Island in order to erase the dark past and start once again just like MDM tries with his new image. And the decent people have to lose their homes because of a bunch of jerks. Jeez...

But Luffy refuses to do that and says that he'll protect everything. Sure, otherwise his hard training in the past 2 years would have been for nothing.

Not much more to say about it other than: I support Luffy's fist in Hody's balls.
