Jon look around and see Luffy is at disadvantage, because Hody can move freely underwater. Jon want to help, but then the princes appear and help Luffy. Ryuboshi & Manboshi try to attack Hody, but he's stronger than them. Luffy ask Fukaboshi to bring him to Noah, because there is air in there.
Fukaboshi bring Luffy to Noah and Hody chase them. Jon hinder Hody with his Susanoo, altough it can't move fast underwater, but it's enough to buy time. Luffy arrive on Noah, but Fukaboshi stay in the water. He try to fight Hody like his brothers, but get defeated too.
Hody know that Luffy is stronger than him, and he will certainly lose if he fight on Noah. So Hody put a fin blade, then he swim around Noah's bubble to break it. If this continue, the bubble will really break and Luffy will be drowned.
Jon follow Hody's movement, and then when Hody is close with Noah's deck, Jon store the space between Hody and Noah. The sudden disappearance of space, pull Hody and he enter the bubble.
"Now that the attackers have been taken care of, i'll treat the victims."-Jon
Jon sigh and take the three of princes, then put them inside Susanoo's hair with Shirahoshi. Jon then enter Noah's air bubble too, and stand on the railing. He let Shirahoshi and the princes out, and cancel his Susanoo. Jon then stay there to look at Luffy's fight.
He need to be there so Luffy can go back to Fishman Island, because he can't swim. However, he has no doubt of Luffy's victory, and he won't meddle in it. Jon then treat the prince's wounds while looking at Luffy's fight.
"Jon-sama, can Luffy-sama win?"-Shirahoshi
"No need to worry about that, Hody is not Luffy's opponent at all. He might have a chance if they fight underwater because Luffy can't swim, but he don't have a chance here."-Jon
"You really trust him and have no doubt for his victory."-Fukaboshi
"What's a crew without trust to each other, furthermore for their captain."-Jon

Meanwhile on the plaza when Jon hold Noah & Luffy fight Hody, the Straw Hats continue their battle. Wadatsumi that feel he has been abandoned by his captain cry, but one of fishman pirate leader convince him to fight the Straw Hats. He is convinced and start to throw around his attack.
Wadatsumi then try to attack Neptune, but Jinbe appear and kick his punch, hurting the giant. He fall backwards, and it create a strong breeze that even make Nami got pushed back. Sanji see this and got angry, so he kick Wadatsumi's head from behind and make him stand up again.
"Ouch, who've just kicked me?"-Wadatsumi
"Oi big guy, you've just hurt Nami-san, so feel some pain too."-Sanji
While this happen, an octopus merman, Hyouzou try to attack Robin with his sword. Zoro suddenly appear and block the attack. He is excited to meet a swordsman that can be used as a warm up before going to New World.
"Ooh, hicc, a strong swordsman."-Hyouzou
"Maybe you can be a warm up before we go to New World."-Zoro grin
Nami also fight many fishmans that call her witch because of her attacks. Nami got angry and correct them to call it science, and she's more of a magician. Then she electrocute them with her Clima Tact.
An invisible officer grab Nami's feet while a squidman try to attack Nami. He try to stab Nami with his spear, but Brook block it. He mock Brook and say he will get dried up by the spear, but Brook is already dried up, so it's not working.
General Franky appear and punch the squid away. Then Franky proceed to fight the squid when some fishmans try to tell Brook to move away. He is standing on top of the invisible officer which actually camouflaging on the floor.
The officer try to save face by saying he is headbutting Brook's feet. No one believe him though, and he proceed to fight Brook. Brook draw his sword and fight the officer.
Chopper is playing cat & mouse with an officer, Daruma by digging the ground. Chopper use his new form of Horn Point to dig holes. He looks more like a beetle than a reindeer now.
Usopp call Chopper to get out, but Dosun, a hammerhead shark fishman try to hit Usopp with his big hammer. Chopper tell Usopp to move away and he punch the hammer with his Heavy Point. He looks cool at first, but then his fist got hurt from punching the hammer.
Usopp compliment Chopper, then he shoot his new bullet, exploding pop green at the holes. The explosion blow Daruma from the holes and also caught the pirates above it. Usopp & Chopper has fought similar kind of fighter before in Alabasta, so they know what to do. Now Chopper fight Dosun, while Usopp fight Daruma.

After getting treated by Jon, Fukaboshi suddenly call Hody and ask why he do all of this. Hody say he hate humans and will send punishment from them. He say he and his crew are the ones that are chosen by the heavens.
Jon see that Fukaboshi is holding a denden mushi and seem to call someone. He don't know what Fukaboshi is planning, but he also want to know Hody's reason. Jon keep listening to Hody, and Luffy also try to listen.
Hody continue his speech, telling them his story of childhood. He was being told that humans are enemies, and Fishmans are superior. Humans drive them to the sea on fear of their superiority.
Fukaboshi ask what humans have done for Hody. He think that Hody must've had a painful experience to have this much hatred. Hody just say that humans have done nothing to him. Of course this surprised all of them, because Hody have this much hatred for nothing.
It is then revealed that it was Arlong's group that always filled their head with hatred for humans. They grow up thinking that humans are enemies and grow hatred for humans. They are like brainwashed soldiers that think what they're doing are the right things.
"When Fisher Tiger died, i know he is not the chosen one. Arlong is not the one too, he is too weak. Then that woman, Otohime said a foolish thing to make peace with humans, so i kill her."-Hody
It was after that assassination, when Hody find his source of strength. He found Energy Steroids that can give them great power in a short time for the exchange of their lifespan. He say that it's not a problem, because he's not afraid of death as he is the one being chosen by heavens.
"He's crazy, there's no use talking to him."-Jon
"All of this, just for an empty hatred."-Fukaboshi's eyes are shaking
"Brainwash is a scary thing, because the victims grow up just with one mindset."-Jon
"I'll just beat him up, he's nothing but an empty shell."-Luffy
Luffy attack Hody and easily injure the Sharkman. Jon keep his guard, because Hody can suddenly use dirty tricks. Just like Jon's prediction, Hody suddenly try to attack Shirahoshi with water shots.
Jon jump on the air and take out his swords from his back. Then he flow fire chakra on them and block every attacks that are sent by Hody. Jon move around the air with his Geppo to block the water shots. The fire chakra evaporate the water shots upon contact.
"Luffy, just focus on him, i'll protect them."-Jon
"Alright."-Luffy
Hody clicked his tongue and then he take out many pills from his pocket. He eat those pills and suddenly he grow bigger. Jon see his chakra also spike up, and uncontrollable. Those must be the Energy Steroids that he talk about before.
Suddenly Hody flash, he move a lot faster than before. Jon flicker to the right and block a punch from Hody. He is still trying to kill Shirahoshi even now. Jon can block him and he seem to give up for now. He need to defeat Luffy first before defeating the others.
"Straw Hat, if i kill you, your crew will lost their morale and will be easier to defeat."-Hody
"Try it if you can."-Luffy
Luffy use his gear 2nd and Hody try to attack him. Luffy flash at Hody and hit him with his new attack called 'Red Hawk' which create a friction on the air and generate fire. It remind Jon of Sanji's diable jambe principle, but it looks more like Ace's fire that still live inside Luffy.
Luffy's attack hit Hody, and the fire is causing an explosion on Hody's back. Hody flung back and hit Noah's rear deck and break inside. Luffy know Hody is still alive, so he prepare himself.
Something come out and it's not Hody, but a water shark. It is a water shark bullet that Hody shot to Luffy. Luffy avoid the first one, but many more sharks are coming while Hody come out. Jon is reminded of Kisame's jutsu, he is a sharkman too afterall.
Luffy then run forward while avoiding the sharks. He bite both his thumbs and blow air in them. Then Luffy harden his giant arms with colour of armament and jump toward Hody.
"Gomu-gomu no: Grizzly Magnum!"-Luffy
Luffy's attack hit Hody so hard and knock him back harder than before. Hody crash to the rear deck again and crash many walls until he hit the keel. He pass out from that attack, because even if he didn't really feel the pain, the damages are still there.
Jon go to catch Hody and handcuff him with seastone. Then Jon also tied him with seastone chain all around his body. He can wake up suddenly from his Energy Steroid's effect. Then Jon bind Hody and Decken with his adamantine chains before going out.
"It's done."-Jon
"Yosh, let's go back!"-Luffy
Jon & Luffy make a bubble to wrap themselves. Then Jon and Luffy sit on Shirahoshi's shoulder. They all go to Fishman Island again after finishing their battle.

At the plaza, the fishman pirates continue to attack the Straw Hats. Among them is Hammond that also bring many human slaves. The slaves are being treated cruelly, and forced to fight.
Jinbe ask Robin to free the slaves, and Robin ask if he's sure of it. The human slaves might have a grudge to Fishmans after this, but Jinbe doesn't mind. He didn't want to see Fishmans acting like Tenryubito.
Robin free them all, and they ask her reason, so she tell them it's Jinbe's request. Now these humans start to help them fight the Fishman Pirates. Robin also defeat Hammond using double clutch with her clone.
The enemies are cornered, so they start to use their dopping. They take Energy Steroids and the officers even eat many of it. They suddenly become stronger, but it's not a problem for Straw Hats.
Wadatsumi is angry at Sanji and say that he is the biggest one here. Sanji see that he is an idiot, so he say that Kraken is bigger than him. Wadatsumi got angry and puff his body, but it knock the fishman pirates.
Sanji keep taunting him to make his body bigger and knock more enemies. When he has become big enough, Sanji kick him many times and make him release his breath. After sometime, he fly out from the island & pass out.
Zoro fight Hyouzou and it's not hard for him. He cut all Hyouzou's swords into 2 vertically. Zoro leave Hyouzou that lost his will to fight, but it's just a trap. Hyouzou squeeze poison from his body and throw it at Zoro. Zoro call him a frog and defeat him easily with his swords.
The other also gain victory even after the enemies took Energy Steroid. Brook has defeat Zeo, the invisible man with his freezing hell sword art. Usopp defeat Daruma with his new Pop Green attacks. Chopper defeat Dosun with his controlled Monster Point. Franky defeat the squid, Ikarus with General Franky. Nami also defeat many enemy goons.
