The land of the giants teems with appropriately oversized insects and plants as well as other savage jungle beasts, much like Strong World. Soon, Usopp will try to investigate strange distant rumblings in the forest by cautiously peeking from behind a tree and suddenly spotting with equal parts terror and delight the gargantuan warriors he so admires sparring with each other. The giants will cotton on to Usopp's newfound boldness and teach him the secret techniques of their homeland, upon which no other puny human dares tread.

*** The above point about what Jinbe's likely dream would be has already been explored a few points further up: that he'd likely wish to see peaceful coexistence between the Fishman race and humans. After all, this was a dream that Queen Otohime [[spoiler:and Jinbe's late captain Fisher Tiger]] truly wanted to see come to pass, with the queen [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething actively lobbying among Fishman Island's people for support to bring about peaceful coexistence]] [[IllGirl despite her own frail health]] [[spoiler:and Tiger, in his dying moments, acknowledging despite his own FantasticRacism that Otohime's worldview is correct]]. There's also the matter of Jinbe's promise to Ace that he'd look out for Luffy's well-being in case anything ever happened to Ace [[spoiler:which it did at Marineford]].

* If this prediction is accurate, it would be [[ReverseFunnyAneurysm hilarious because of how 4Kids edited out her 'death')]]. Pity we'll never see how 4Kids would've dubbed this scene.

[[spoiler: A. The guy who opened the Gates of Justice for the opposing army, B. A Fishman of some sort. (He looks a bit like Tom), or C. The guy who made Level 5.5 in Impel Down (Notice the drill-like arms: http://mangastream.com/read/one_piece/575-55/11)]]

** Chapter 625 shows that Decken's motive for pursuing Shirahoshi is anything but love. [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/one_piece/v59/c625/14.html He seems to be more interested in her legendary power.]] It certainly explains why he'll kill her if she goes off with someone else. His mindframe is one of "If I can't have her power, no one can."

The fact that Shirahoshi [[spoiler:is the Poseidon]] means she's at risk no matter where she is. If the World Government found out, they'd be after her in a heartbeat. And the Fishman Island Royal Army would be no match for Admirals and the Pacifista. Because of this, her father will ask the Straw Hats to take her with them so they can look after her. Also, Shirahoshi ''did'' [[http://i33.mangareader.net/one-piece/613/one-piece-2434433.jpg seem excited about the idea of adventures]] when she first found out Luffy was a pirate.

* Jossed [[http://www.mangareader.net/one-piece/659/18 he is alive and became a Shichibukai]].

* Jossed he IS a Shichibukai [[http://www.mangareader.net/one-piece/659/18 proof]].

** In the flashback where Shirahoshi's mom defended the World Noble from the ex-slaves' vengeance, it seemed Deckan's pursuit of her was revealed to be [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/one_piece/v59/c625/14.html because she has a legendary power]] that [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/one_piece/v59/c625/12.html allows her to]] [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/one_piece/v59/c625/13.html control sea kings.]] At the very least, she will prove important to the current arc for this ability. Although personally I would love to see her join the crew. Something about her innocence makes me see her as a female counterpart to Luffy's innocence.

*** She has that legendary power to control the sea kings, and according to Otohime in chapter 626, Shirahoshi doesn't even know she has such a power. Her mother also said it was the most "fearsome ability in the world" and that [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/one_piece/v59/c626/12.html Shirahoshi could cause everything to sink into the ocean by sending the sea kings on a rampage.]] CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass indeed.

* Problem. We DID already see them. [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/one_piece/v58/c624/ They're still in Cocoyashi village, and they are fishermen now.]]

* Jossed: It was Law. [[http://www.mangareader.net/one-piece/659/18 and he is a Shichibukai]]

Going through this arc and the recent flashback, it's becoming apparent that one of the main reasons for all the inter-species discrimination is that neither race really knows a lot about the other. It's also been mentioned a few times that Fishman Island is only where it is because it's the only spot on the sea floor where sunlight reaches, thanks to the Eve tree. Luffy will put the pieces together, as he's occasionally known to do, destroy Fishman Island, and force the fishmen and mermen up to the surface. As both sides realize that they really [[NotSoDifferent aren't so different]], relations will heal and prejudices will begin to disappear. Similar to how Whitebeard's conquering of the island seemed bad to the world but was gracious in reality, this will set the Strawhats on a new level of infamy to the world, but as savior's to those involved. Also sets up a possible antagonist in Big Mum.
