What it concludes

• The arc serves as a statement to the rest of the world that the Straw Hats are here and forced to be reckoned with.
• Hody Jones works well as a villain because he represents racism and hatred in their purest forms, showing what happens when a character inherits hatred for no reason.
• Queen Otohime's character embodies the core message of the story, which is forgiveness.
• Jinbe's decision to give Luffy his blood breaks the cycle of hatred and resentment between humans and fish-men.
