What are you?

Explosions rock the scene as Decken's massive form is hurled backward. A large speech bubble declares "DECKEN'S ABILITY IS NO MORE!!!" Nearby, Hody Jones grins viciously and shouts "FINALLY, HE CROAKS!!" Below, the massive ship Noah plummets through the sky toward Fish-Man Island. Shirahoshi cries out in alarm while Luffy stares upward with wide eyes. Hody taunts, "NOW THE NOAH WILL PLUMMET STRAIGHT INTO FISHMAN ISLAND!!!" and "SO LONG, STRAW HAT CREW!!! YOU'LL STAND IN THE WAY OF MY REVENGE NO LONGER!!!" Impact lines and debris fill the air as the ship descends.

Luffy glares furiously and yells "DAMN THAT HODY!!!" Shirahoshi screams in terror, "IF THAT SHIP COLLIDES WITH THE ISLAND, IT WILL ALL BE OVER... BOTH OUR KINGDOM, AND THE ROLE OF THE NOAH THAT WE HAVE PROTECTED FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS!!!" In a flashback panel, a figure explains the Noah's ancient purpose: "IT HAS LAIN UPON THE OCEAN FLOOR FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS, AWAITING THE DAY... WHEN A CERTAIN PROMISE MADE WITH A GREAT MAN MIGHT BE FULFILLED!" Neptune's sons respond, "LISTEN WELL, MY SONS. THE ARK KNOWN AS 'NOAH' IS NO MERE RELIC OF THE PAST!!" and "VERY WELL, FATHER!! WE WILL UNCOVER THE REASON WHY THE SHIP HAS BEGUN TO MOVE, AND RESTORE IT TO ITS RIGHTFUL PLACE!!!" Another voice adds, "THAT SHIP HAS YET TO FULFILL ITS PURPOSE!!"

Hody laughs maniacally, "JAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! YOU THINK YOU CAN STOP THE NOAH NOWI!!!" Luffy roars back, "OH, I'LL STOP IT!!!" Hody mocks him, "OR WAS YOUR CLAIM THAT YOU WOULD 'PROTECT' THEM ALL JUST EMPTY WORDS, STRAW HATI!!!" The massive chained Noah continues its descent as Luffy declares, "I'LL SMASH THAT WHOLE SHIP TO PIECES... BEFORE IT EVER REACHES THE ISLAND!!!" Shirahoshi watches in shock while impact effects and motion lines emphasize the ship's unstoppable momentum.

Amid swirling currents and falling debris, the group debates the crisis. A voice cries, "I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE!!!" Another adds, "BUT WHAT OTHER WAY IS THERE TO SAVE THE ISLANDI! THERE'S NO TIME!" Someone warns, "DECKEN MAY STILL BE ALIVE!!! IF WE CAN AWAKEN HIM..." A large speech bubble declares, "NO, STRAW HAT!! EVEN IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT SUCH A FEAT WERE POSSIBLE......I HAVE TOLD YOU ALREADY, THE NOAH BEARS A DISTINGUISHED PAST AND A FUTURE THAT MUST BE FULFILLED!!!" Below, characters react in smaller panels: "THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE STILL ON THAT ISLAND WHO ARE VERY PRECIOUS TO ME!!!" "YOU MUST WAIT, NOAH!!!" A roaring fish-man laughs, "JAHAHAHAH!! FALLING OUT AMONGST OURSELVES, ARE WEI!" Another shouts, "BUT IF YOU TRY TO DO THAT, EVERYONE COULD END UP DEAD!!" A final voice insists, "IT MAY STILL BE POSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE SHIP'S COURSE, SAVING BOTH THE NOAH AND THE ISLAND!!!" In the lower section, Shirahoshi weeps and pleads desperately, "SHIRAHOSHI!!! YOU MUSTN'T GO NEAR THE SHIP!!!" while crying out, "PLEASE, DECKEN-SAMA!! IF YOU STILL LIVE, THEN PLEASE, YOU MUST TARGET ME ALONE!!! DO AS YOU WISH WITH ME, BUT YOU MUST NOT HARM FISHMAN ISLAND!!" with sound effects like "んあぁん" echoing her sobs.

Action erupts as Hody Jones launches a powerful strike. He yells, "FISH-MAN KARATE!!" while delivering a blow labeled "UMIDAIKO" (TN: "OCEAN DRUM"). Shirahoshi reacts with shock, "!!I" A close-up shows a hand grabbing toward her as someone shouts, "SHIRA-HOSHI!" Below, chaos unfolds with "!!I" and "MAMBOSHI-ONII-SAMA!!!" as figures are sent flying. Hody laughs "JAHAH AHAH..." amid impacts marked "ダッ..." and "ガァ!!!" while Shirahoshi watches in horror, hands raised. The sequence shows rapid right-to-left panel flow of the assault, with water splashes, motion lines, and debris scattering as the fish-man presses his attack.

Luffy is hurled through the air inside a massive bubble, with "SWIISH" and impact sounds "ゴゴゴ..." Hody yells, "STRAW HAT!!!" Close-up reaction panels capture intense expressions: a clenched fist, Hody's roaring maw, Luffy's wide-eyed surprise turning to a determined grin, and a narrowed glare. The sequence builds to a massive collision as Luffy charges forward, fist extended, with Shirahoshi watching anxiously, hands near her face. Enormous onomatopoeia "メドゥブリー!!!!" explodes across the bottom panel amid swirling water, bubbles, and debris as the strike lands.

The brutal exchange continues with heavy impacts "ドゴォン" and "ドゴン" as Hody's fist connects. Luffy is shown bloodied and strained, panting "*PANT*" while thinking, "...BUT MY HAKI ISN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO HANDLE THIS KIND OF DAMAGE YET..." A voice notes, "ARMAMENT HAKI CAN PROTECT ME FROM BLUNT STRIKES..." Hody grunts "UGH HH..." as Luffy grabs him with "GRAAAB". Sound effects like "CRACKK", "!!!!", and "メキメキ..." mark the strain on the massive structure and bodies. The right-to-left panels depict the escalating damage and desperate struggle inside the confined, watery space.

A massive fish-man creature looms with jaws wide open, shouting, "...ON THE DECK...!" and "...THE AIR..." while panting heavily. Nearby panels show the same creature gasping, "*PANT* *PANT*", as smoke and debris fill the air. Hody Jones, the long-haired fish-man, glares and declares, "BUT I KNOW WHAT IT IS YOU'RE AFTER... *PANT*... YOU JUST WANT..." and "SO YOU MEAN TO FACE ME ON BOARD THE SINKING SHIP...I" In a huge central panel, chains whip around a massive wheel-like structure as a small figure in a bubble darts with "FWWP FWWP" sounds, prompting a shocked "!!!I" Below, Hody Jones laughs maniacally, "...IF YOU RIP A GREAT BIG HOLE IN 'EM...! JAHAHAHA..." while telling Luffy, "DIDN'T YOU KNOW, BOYI BUBBLES CAN'T HOLD UP..." An unseen voice worries, "I SUSPECTED HE MIGHT DO THIS...!!" Luffy cries out in alarm, "AHH!!"

A massive impact sends debris flying as Hody Jones charges forward. Shirahoshi screams, "HODY...!!!! HOW DARE YOU STAND IN OUR WAYI!I!" while Luffy shouts desperately, "OH, MAN!!! THE AIR'S ALL GONE!!!" Hody Jones taunts, "HAHAH... PATHETIC HUMAN. WITH YOUR AIR GONE, YOU'RE POWERLESS TO DO A THING!! AND YOU CLAIM THAT WE ARE THE INFERIOR ONES!!" Shirahoshi cries out, "WHAT KIND OF MONSTER ARE YOUI!I!" and questions, "HOW MANY LIVES DO YOU THINK STAND TO BE LOST IF THAT SHIP REACHES ITS MARKI!I!" Hody Jones retorts, "FORGET STOPPING THE NOAH... YOU WON'T EVEN BE ABLE TO TAKE ME DOWN!!"

Hody Jones transforms dramatically, his body swelling as he roars, "MARINE!!!" and "ULTRA..." with explosive force lines and impact effects. Shirahoshi demands, "HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO COMMIT THESE ATROCITIES, HODYI!I!" while Luffy yells, "HOWI!!!" Hody Jones continues his assault with powerful strikes marked by "FWUUSH" and "!!!" effects. Close-ups capture his fierce, veined face and bulging muscles as the battle intensifies around the sinking ship and chains.

Hody Jones looms massively over the scene, bloodied and enraged, as Shirahoshi and Luffy react in horror with "!!" and sweat drops. Shirahoshi pleads, "FUKABOSHI-ONII-SAMA!!!" and "BRO-HOSHI!!!" while Fukaboshi's voice questions, "...!!! WHAT ARE YOU, HODY JONES..." Hody Jones pants heavily amid the chaos. Shirahoshi accuses, "...YET DIRECT THAT MALICE AT OUR OWN FISHMAN ISLAND...I!I!" and "...THAT YOU CAN CLAIM TO BEAR THE WEIGHT OF OUR RACE'S HATRED OF HUMANITY..." Other voices shout, "ABANDON EVEN THE COMRADES YOU GREW UP WITH IN THE FISHMAN DISTRICTI!I!" and "HOW CAN YOU SEEK TO DESTROY THE VERY ISLAND YOU SOUGHT TO RULEI!I!" Luffy watches tensely as the destruction continues.

Hody Jones, now massively transformed with bulging veins and a monstrous form, looms over a battered opponent. A large narration questions him: "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU, HODY JONES, TO DRIVE YOU TO THISI! WHAT IN THE WORLD DID THE HUMANS DO TO YOU!!!" Smaller panels show close-ups of his fanged maw and dripping saliva as voices demand, "WHAT MANNER OF LOATHING COULD DRIVE YOU TO SUCH ABOMINABLE LENGTHS!!!" and "WHAT WILL REMAIN FOR YOU ONCE THIS CRIME IS ACCOMPLISHEDI!!!" Below, Shirahoshi's wide eyes fill with terror as she covers her mouth. Luffy stares forward with a grim, sweat-streaked face. An unseen voice reacts with "!!I" while Hody's savage expression fills another panel.

The massive Noah ship plummets through the water with a loud "ズバッッ!!!" Shirahoshi screams, "FUKABOSHI-ONII-SAMA AAAAA!!!" A voice calls out, "STRAW HAT LUFFY-SAN!!" Luffy, gripping the deck, shouts back, "YOU REMEMBER ME - WE MET EARLIER!! WE HAVE REACHED THE AIR TANK!!" Shirahoshi pleads, "YOU HAVE BUSINESS ON THE DECKI! THEN I'LL WAIT FOR YOU THERE!" Hody's name is spat as "HODY...!!!" Luffy yells, "HOLD ON A MINUTE. WE ARE IN THE DEPTHS OF THE OCEAN, YET RIGHT NOW, YOU, A HUMAN, ARE OUR ONLY HOPE!!" Shirahoshi adds, "I CAN SEE THE NOAH RIGHT NOW, FALLING STRAIGHT TOWARDS THE ISLAND!! I HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING!!" Luffy leaps into action: "HEY, BRO-HOSHI, HURRY UP AND GO AFTER HIM!!! BUT NOW WE ARE READY!"

Fukaboshi commands from the deck, "MEN, I NEED YOU TO HEAD TO THE AIR TANK AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE!!" while noting, "WE MAY END UP REQUIRING AN IMMENSE QUANTITY OF AIR! I WANT YOU TO MAKE SURE... THAT WE CAN MAKE USE OF THE GIANT AIR BUBBLE THAT SUPPLIES THE ISLAND AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE...!!!" A sign marks "FISHMAN ISLAND - MAIN ENTRANCE" as "PRINCE FUKABOSHI!!!" appears. Shirahoshi holds a small creature and says, "TAKE THIS BABY DEN-DEN MUSHI, AND KEEP IT SAFE!!" She continues, "...WOULD ALLOW YOU TO CHOOSE A BATTLEFIELD THAT WORKS IN YOUR FAVOURI!" Luffy questions, "DECKEN IS ONE THING, BUT DO YOU TRULY BELIEVE THAT HODY..." Shirahoshi replies, "I'LL JUST BEAT THAT LIP THERE!! DO WE REALLY NEED THATI THERE'LL BE ENOUGH AIR ON THE SHIPDECK!" Below, she cries, "HEY, YOU!! HOW WERE YOU PLANNING ON GETTING THAT AIR TO USI! MY BROTHERS HAVE ALL BEEN...!!!" Luffy answers, "LUFFY-SAMA!! WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT THE NOAHI!" and thinks, "WE MUST ALWAYS PLAN FOR THE WORST!! AND NOW, AFTER HODY!!"

Mechanics around the air tank are shown with arrows and spheres. A voice explains, "HOWEVER, A BUBBLE WOULD NEGATE THE SHIP'S NATURAL BUOYANCY..." Shirahoshi proposes, "IF WE FORM A BUBBLE USING THE FULL SUPPLY OF THE AIR TANK... IT SHOULD BE POSSIBLE TO FIRE IT AT THE NOAH AND ENCLOSE THE SHIP COMPLETELY!!!" Luffy, straining, shouts, "FORGET ABOUT THE COMPLICATED STUFF... JUST SHOOT THAT BUBBLE, RIGHT NOW!! AS LONG AS I HAVE AIR, I'LL WORK SOMETHING OUT!!!" while the ship continues its descent with impact sounds "ゴゴゴゴ". An ally admits, "I'M INCREDIBLY SORRY, BUT THERE'S NOTHING MORE WE CAN DO!! IT'S UP TO YOU!!" Another warns, "...SO IT WOULD NOT HELP THE SHIP TO FLOAT BACK UPWARDS!! IT WOULD DO NOTHING TO HALT THE NOAH'S INEVITABLE FALL!!" Crew members react in panic near the controls.

A massive bubble containing the Noah looms as voices cry out. "LUFFY-SAN!!" "VERY WELL!!" "FISHMAN ISLAND IS IN YOUR HANDS!!!" The scene shifts to Hody Jones glaring with a vicious grin. "STRAW HAT... SHIRAHOSHI...!!!" He demands, "WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO ACCOMPLISH BY PURSUING THE NOAHI!" and sneers, "WHAT CAN A WORTHLESS HUMAN AND A SINGLE MERMAID PRINCESS ACHIEVE!!!" Shirahoshi screams in terror, "AAA AHHH HH!!" as Luffy charges forward with a powerful kick. "KIRISAME!!!"

Luffy's rapid strikes land with explosive force, "THOK THAK" sending Hody Jones reeling through the air amid impact lines and debris. Hody crashes violently but recovers, roaring in fury, "NGHHHAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" He glares upward, questioning, "JUST HOW TOUGH IS THAT GUYI!" as Luffy continues his assault. Hody grunts, "NGHH...!!" and is sent flying once more with a "FWUUSH".

Hody Jones bellows with rage, "I DON'T CARE IF I HAVE TO SHORTEN MY OWN LIFE!!! I DON'T CARE HOW MANY LIVES I HAVE TO SACRIFICE!!! I'LL PUT YOU HUMANS IN YOUR PLACE NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES!!!" He threatens Shirahoshi, "GIVE IT UP, HUMAN!!! ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME, HUMANI!! 'PANT'... JUST LOOKING AT THE LIKES OF YOU MAKES MY FLESH CRAWL!!!" Below, Luffy hears a voice, "CAN YOU HEAR MEI" and recognizes, "THAT'S FUKABOSHI-ONIISAMA'S VOICE" as Fukaboshi urges, "STRAW HAT... HEY... AIM WELL! WE ONLY GET ONE SHOT!" Shirahoshi stares in shock, realizing, "...WHAT HODY JONES...REALLY IS...!!!" while panting, "PANT*...I'VE WORKED IT OUT... I KNOW... *PANT*..."
