The Straw Hat crew are the only ones standing in the way of the New Fish-Man pirates taking complete control over Fish-Man Island. And when Hody puts his diabolical plan into action, only Luffy can stop him. Luffy may have become much more powerful thanks to his training, but how can he hope to defeat a Fish-Man at the bottom of the ocean?!
Eiichiro Oda (尾田栄一郎, Oda Eiichirō) is a Japanese manga artist, best known as the creator of the manga and anime One Piece.
As a child, Oda was inspired by Akira Toriyama's works and aspired to become a manga artist. He recalls that his interest in pirates was probably sparked by the popular TV animation series titled Vicky the Viking. He submitted a character named Pandaman for Yudetamago's classic wrestling manga Kinnikuman. Pandaman was not only used in a chapter of the manga but would later return as a recurring cameo character in Oda's own works.

Continúan los enfrentamientos y ya viene cerca el desenlace. Hodi es un enemigo vacío que se formó del resentimiento de los gyojin hacia los humanos desde chiquito, al igual que sus compañeros. Justo lo que la reina quería evitar pero en ese tiempo no pudo. De los muwis que estaban en enfrentamientos ya todos vencieron y solo queda la batalla de Luffy y el peligro inminente de colision de Noah con la isla gyojin.
Pd: se me olvida comentar de las minuhustorias xd ahora están mostrando cada lugar por donde han pasado los muwis, empezamos en el pueblo de Luffy y ya vamos por skypiea. Acá muestran a Makino con su bebé y el que me dio risa xd el compañero de Viví cuando estaba en baroque woks y miss Monday se quedaron juntos y tienen un bebé 🤭

Wow it's time for the enemy; Howdy Jones and friends use steroid to boost up their power. Hmph, I'm pretty sure it will has side effects later. Straw Hat Pirates still in battle while Luffy is trying to stop Noah 'pop up' the bubble of Fish-Man Island or it will be a disaster. It was a maximum battle between Luffy and Howdy. Very engaging!

A poor One Piece arc reaches (almost) its inevitable conclusion. As a pacey, page-turning volume, this isn't bad, even if its taken a while to get to the point where Luffy can deal with Hody. As an example of Eiichiro Oda's newfound willingness to tackle more serious topics in One Piece - which has been growing over the last two dozen volumes - it's something of a misstep. The theme of the arc is that the Fishmen are oppressed by the Humans, and Oda throws his weight behind the faction of the Fishmen that wants co-existence, not hatred and revenge. Hody Jones, the leader of the radicals, is revealed as a nihilist extremist, happy to kill his own. Well, OK.
But the way the arc works - because One Piece is ultimately always about our heroes punching things - is then to have a crew of 'good' humans appear to save the helpless Fishmen from their own extremist element. Does Jinbei - the most pro-active and independent Fishmen leader we've seen - get to deal with the extreme wing? No, it's Luffy, the human leader. (Jinbei does point out how unacceptable it would be for the Fishmen to be saved by humans, but then it happens anyway.) Does their rebellion fail because ordinary Fishmen want nothing to do with extremist violence? No - they are mostly shown as terrified, and reliant on human protection. By the end - I'm skipping ahead a volume now - Luffy is pledging to put the island under his personal protection. Phew! The happy ending is that the bad human oppressors have been replaced by a good human protector. Much progress!
Try to apply this to any situation of actual racial or political oppression and it's a trainwreck. Luckily, the saving grace is that Oda doesn't lean any harder on the heavy stuff or the parallels than usual - it's broad-strokes, violent comedy all the way. By the end, though, I'm grateful he didn't waste any of his better antagonists on this one.

What an amazing volume! Its just fight on all sides, as Vender Decken has set the Noah to fall on fishman Island, its an all out war between the strawhat pirates and the prices vs Hody and Vander, they somehow are able to defeat Vander but still the ship is falling and its just such a perfect setup as the hero emerges and everyone on Fishman Island hears its Luffy and he defeats Hody too and destroys the ship before it falls and the strawhats..will they be able to defeat other members of the New Fish-man pirates!? Its an epic volume with so much happening and pure action packed scenes and Hody getting a good moment while Luffy emerging as the hero he is!

Reading this volume left me with mixed feelings, and not in a dramatic way, more in a quiet shrug kind of way. While I was going through it, I was engaged. The pacing is fast, there’s a lot of movement, and it feels busy in that familiar One Piece style. But once I finished, I realized almost nothing stayed with me. There are supposed to be important reveals here, the kind that feel like they should shift how you look at things going forward, and yet they barely registered. This isn’t a case of déjà vu either. I didn’t remember this part before rereading it, and now that I’ve read it again, I’m pretty sure I won’t remember it the next time around.
I enjoyed seeing the characters operate confidently as a group, and it’s clear how far they’ve come. Everyone feels capable, reliable, and comfortable in their roles, which is nice to see. At the same time, a lot of the emotional moments are spelled out so plainly that they lose some impact. Instead of feeling something and sitting with it, I often felt like I was being told exactly what to feel and why. The themes are solid and well intentioned, but the delivery can feel a little heavy, like the story is talking at me instead of letting moments breathe.
By the end, I didn’t dislike this volume, but I didn’t love it either. It does what it needs to do, moves the story along, and keeps things entertaining page to page. It just doesn’t linger. This feels like one of those volumes that works fine in the moment but fades quickly afterward. A perfectly okay read, just not a memorable one.
This is one of those volumes that remind me why I'm not a huge manga fan. Don't get me wrong i've been loving One Piece. However, I just don't love these books that are one giant fight. I quickly and easily get bored. You think I would enjoy these more in the anime style. I did appreciate continuing to see the straw hats and how they have improved over the time skip. I am curious to see how they will start being challenged by other characters; where their improved power will be more equally matched. I do appreciate how Oda tried to give Hody more of a background and depth to him in this volume. But I feel it wasn’t as great character work as I've seen from Oda.
Lots of cool fights and the Fishman Island arc is drawing nearer and nearer to its conclusion. Not going to lie, this hasn’t been my favorite arc, but I do really like the thematic underpinnings to the story being told here!
2025 reread : This is basically an entire volume of the strawhats working together to save an island, which is everything I want in OP, so I'm raising this by a star. I still think it is a great choice to show how strong the crew has become by having them ending the fight in basically one minute. It would have felt like the timeskip was for nothing if the crew had struggled too much through fishmen island.
I'm glad that they don't have too much trouble getting rid of their enemies. It would have been annoying if they struggled a lot this soon.
Better than 64 (which tried to pack too many panels into too few pages) IMO. On the one hand, it's hard to follow along with characters who have gotten this uber. On the other hand, you KNOW it has to go down like this: not yet king of the pirates, baby.
things are really hotting up in the manga nowadays, so i needa start locking in and catching up. alright volume, hordy literally got smoked in like 2 chapters why am i even surprised he was the fraudiest of the frauds
The Fish Man Island arc starts to reach its climax in Volume 65 with the Straw Hats fully engaged in fights with Hody Jones’ crew. While the first part of the arc was mostly world building I’d think I would have enjoyed the payoff with all the fighting and attempts to stop “Noah”. They were fun fights for the most part. Of all the Straw Hats fights, I think Brook’s was the best (love his speech about death too). That said, I also liked Usopp’s line about how he’s not making up lies anymore (believe that when I see it though) and how anything heroic/badass he says he’ll do he’ll follow through on). All in all that montage of splash pages where each Straw Hat takes down Hody’s officers was great (kudos to Oda on the artwork).
As fun as the fights were I will admit they could be hard to follow at times (especially Luffy vs Hody). In general I’d say that was my problem with the volume/waiting to read this a few weeks after the last volume, there was a lot of content to keep track of which dampened my enjoyment significantly. The volume definitely came around in the last part though when Oda Sensei, through his mouthpiece Prince Fukaboshi condemns blind hatred/bigotry and passing it on to future generations/brainwashing them. No surprise for modern stories to denounce bigotry and terrorism but I appreciated Oda’s way of putting that here. Other than that there were small moments in the Volume I enjoyed. I loved Zoro and Chopper’s small moment about Chopper’s forms and Chopper saying fine with being a monster for Luffy’s sake. I also thought it was kind of cute that Robin called Jinbei handsome). That said, I don’t think all these moments added up to a fantastic climax, there was just something missing with this volume.
One Piece, Vol. 65 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next ten chapters (637–646) of the on-going manga series.
This tankōbon continues the Fish-Man Island Arc. As the Straw Hats fight the New Fishman Pirates' leaders, Monkey D. Luffy stops Shirahoshi from sacrificing herself and flies up to the Noah with her and Fukaboshi.
Hordy Jones betrays Vander Decken IX and defeats him before challenging Luffy. As Luffy fights with Hordy, Decken falls unconscious, consequently destroying the bubble. As everyone in Fishman Island is evacuating, Fukaboshi reveals to Luffy that Hordy was created from the resentment against humanity.
Encouraged by Fukaboshi, Luffy proceeds to fight with Hordy as the Ammo Knights launch a bubble to cover the Noah again. Luffy defeats Hordy and attempts to destroy the ship to save the island. Meanwhile, the Straw Hats manages to defeat Hordy’s subordinates.
This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Eiichirō Oda. For the most part it is written and constructed rather well. It more or less finishes the battle between the Arlong Pirates and Fishermen Village with the Straw Hat Pirates in the middle, protecting the village Monkey D. Luffy and Hordy Jones fights each other, with Luffy being the ultimate victor.
All in all, One Piece, Vol. 65 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems really intriguing and I can't wait to read more.
The irony of the failure of the themes of this arc is clearly lost on the majority of it's reader base because "yay, one piece."
You have the fishmen that are fighting back against oppression from the humans. Who are the "good guys" in this story? The humans coming to beat them up.
It is very interesting that in One Piece there has always been discussions of injustices against classes, race, sex, and much more. What calls my attention is that I feel that this arc is dealing with social problems more explicitly than before. I have appreciated this so much! :)
Volume 65: Chapter 637-646 Saga 7: Fishman Island Arc 25: Fishman Island
Battle fixed: - General Franky vs Ikaros Muchi - Brook vs Zeo - Usopp vs Daruma - Chopper vs Dosun - Sanji and Jinbei vs Wadatsumi - Zoro vs Hyouzou - Luffy vs Hody Jones
This arc isn't my favorite but this volume is one of the better ones containing the arc. I enjoyed some of the fights but these volumes have a way of dragging on in the middle. I wish the pacing was better for this series.
We learn the motives from the new fishman pirates and we fear that fishman island will be destroyed by the Noah. Oda did a great job on explaining how f*cked up racism is.
