User blog comment:Fliu/My thoughts on the Fishman Island arc/@comment-3986064-20111209053223

You are right about the mermaid princess, this arc was indeed great for the story and in the last chapter we found out something incredible. Ancient weapons can be living beings too. For the kind and warm-hearted Shirahoshi who calls everyone with "sama" to be such a weapon is too shocking.

Who knows about Shirleys prediction, she was always right with her predictions, we see a burning place where Luffy stands with his Straw hat on his head. When that moment comes, we should all be able to tell that's it. After what we've found out, we can't be sure neither of time nor of location unless Shirley saw something recognizable that tells her its from Fishman Island.

Hody and Decken in the same cell is a pretty bad idea and I'm sure that at one point they'll move Decken into a cell nearby.

The best parts from this arc for me were:
 * Shirley
 * Noah
 * Decken
 * Shirahoshi's power
 * Hody's lack of reason for his hatred
 * Sanji's hell memories
 * Luffy telling the island to decide
 * Otohime and Tiger, two great stories of two great personalities
 * Every attack of Gyojin Karate
 * The moment when Luffy appears on the plaza from megalo's mouth
 * The moment where he tells FI to decide if they are friends or foes
 * Luffy's meat theories("I WANT THAT MEAT")
 * The moment when he takes out half of the NFP and says that he will become Pirate King
 * Jinbe's transfusion and refuse
 * The shocking revelation about Poseidon

A nice and long list XD
