Hody continues his overthrow of fishman island and finally gathers in the plaza along with the New Fishman Pirates and the subdued royal family.

After a little bit of a distraction in town with Shirahoshi, Luffy finally reunites with Jinbe! While it feels like a happy gathering at first, the tone darkens due to Nami and Jinbe's mutual connection to Arlong. To give further background to why Arlong was in the East Blue as well as on the rising tension at fishman island, Jinbe tells the group about 2 huge role models for Fishman Island. Fisher Tiger and Queen Otohime both fought to end the prejudice between fishmen and humans, but they did so in their own separate ways.

Longest title in the history of our pdcast...just had to make me do it Moria. Still a pain in my ars. We are back this week and Luffy is making massive strides in the eyes of the Marines and some of the strongest pirates in the world. Ace's execution is almost carried out twice, but he is saved by both Crocodile and Luffy himself, though the race toward the platform continues. Whitebeard still is one of the strongest men on the battlefield, but he is losing steam as the battle rages on. The marines have all the momentum on there side. Time to see if Luffy can turn it back and free Ace.

Im pretty sure we reviewed the right episodes. Somebody check back to last weeks recordings and take a gander. Regardless, Luffy continues to run toward Ace going nowhere fast. Boa and Jinbe still coming in clutch while Marco tosses his hat into the ring of making a difference. Whitebeard takes a shot in the dark while Vista makes his presence felt as a swordsman. Admiral Akainu continues to show how ruthless he is as a leader and this battle is proving to be no holds barred.

i think...
Luffy has finally arrived to the Battle of Marineford and he makes his presence known early. Whitebeard senses something fishy and orders a majority of his forces to stick back outside the bay while his main crew pushes the marines back. Luffy runs into a few foes from the past, but thanks to recent allies, he doesnt have to worry about them at the current point in time. The race to save Ace continues. Can our straw hat get there before it is carried out?
Next Week: Episodes 469-473
Out of nowhere we hit a fantastic set up episodes full of action, lore dumping, and many new faces and powers. We dive deep into the conversation to set things straight and figure out how this could impact the world going forward. Stakes are high but our favorite straw hat boy has disappeared following a flashy entrance by Whitebeard.
