## One Piece Chapter 641: What are you? - Chapter: 641 - Pages: 1-18 - Characters: Vander Decken IX, Hody Jones, Noah, Fishman Island, Monkey D. Luffy, Shirahoshi, Neptune, Fukaboshi, Ryuboshi, Manboshi, Fishman District ### Summary Page 1: Vander Decken IX finally goes still, and Hody Jones exults, "Finally, he croaks!!" The moment Decken's power disappears, Hody declares, "Decken's ability is no more!!!" Noah is no longer being pulled toward Shirahoshi as a target; it begins to fall directly toward Fishman Island. Hody laughs at the Straw Hats' fate: "Now the Noah will plummet straight into Fishman Island!!! So long, Straw Hat crew!!! You'll stand in the way of my revenge no longer!!!" Luffy, Shirahoshi, and the princes stare at the falling ship as the danger becomes immediate. Page 2: Luffy curses, "Damn that Hody!!!" while Shirahoshi and the princes understand what Noah means to the kingdom. If the ship collides with Fishman Island, both the kingdom and the centuries-old role of Noah will be destroyed. Neptune's words echo: "Listen well, my sons. The ark known as 'Noah' is no mere relic of the past!!" Noah has lain on the ocean floor for hundreds of years, waiting for the day when a promise made with a great man might be fulfilled. Until that promised day arrives, Noah must not be harmed. The princes remember their duty: if the ship has begun to move, they must uncover the reason and restore it to its rightful place. Page 3: Hody laughs, "Jahaha hahaha haha!!!" and taunts Luffy: "You think you can stop the Noah now?!!" He mocks the promise Luffy made, asking whether the claim that he would "protect them all" was just empty words. Luffy refuses to back down and shouts, "Oh, I'll stop it!!!" His answer is brutal and direct: "I'll smash that whole ship to pieces... ...before it ever reaches the island!!!" Noah continues falling toward Fishman Island while Luffy prepares to destroy it if that is the only way to save everyone below. Page 4: Shirahoshi and the princes reject the idea of destroying Noah. A prince cries, "No, Straw Hat!! Even in the unlikely event that such a feat were possible..." and reminds Luffy that Noah bears a distinguished past and a future that must be fulfilled. Luffy answers, "But what other way is there to save the island?! There's no time! I can't think of anything else!!!" Shirahoshi begs Noah to wait and then calls to Decken: "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!!" Someone warns her, "Shirahoshi!!! You mustn't go near the ship!!!" while Hody laughs that falling among themselves is exactly what he wants. Page 5: Hody interrupts the desperate plan with fishman karate. He shouts, "Fishman Karate!!" and unleashes "Umidaiko," the "Ocean Drum," striking Manboshi as Shirahoshi cries, "Mamboshi-onisama!!!" The blow sends the prince tumbling while Hody laughs, "Jahahahah..." Shirahoshi, Luffy, and the remaining brothers are forced to watch as Hody knocks another defender aside rather than let anyone guide Noah away from the island. Page 6: Hody rushes straight back at Luffy, calling, "Straw Hat!!!" Their eyes meet: Hody's hatred, Shirahoshi's fear, and Luffy's determination all converge in the deep sea. Luffy drives himself forward inside the bubble and slams into Hody, forcing the battle away from Shirahoshi for a moment. The impact is wordless, all speed and force, but it buys a breath of time while Noah keeps falling. Page 7: Luffy's attack hammers Hody, but the fight exposes Luffy's limit underwater. Hody is driven back and Noah's hull groans with a "Crack," but Luffy coughs blood and admits the problem: "Armament Haki can protect me from blunt strikes... ...but my Haki isn't strong enough to handle this kind of damage yet...!" His bubble is keeping him alive, yet the ocean pressure and Hody's advantage are wearing him down. Page 8: Hody reads Luffy's need clearly. He asks, "So you mean to face me on board the sinking ship?" and then says, "But I know what it is you're after... You just want... ...the air... ...on the deck...!" Luffy tries to reach that air, but Hody tears into the bubble. Luffy realizes, "Ahh!!" and Hody confirms the trap: "I suspected he might do this... Didn't you know, boy? Bubbles can't hold up... ...if you rip a great big hole in 'em...! Jahahah..." Page 9: The bubble's air is gone. Luffy shouts, "Oh, man!!! The air's all gone!!!" Hody mocks him: "Hahah... Pathetic human. With your air gone, you're powerless to do a thing!! And you claim that we are the inferior ones!!" He tells Luffy to forget stopping Noah because he will not even be able to take Hody down. Fukaboshi, battered and furious, shouts, "Hody...!!! How dare you stand in our way!!! What kind of monster are you?!!! How many lives do you think stand to be lost if that ship reaches its mark?!!" Page 10: Before Hody can press the advantage, a voice calls, "Ultra... Marine!!!" and a projectile sla...
