Who is hordy jones

His arrogance also made him extremely shortsighted, as he did not even consider the consequences of allowing the Candy Factory to be destroyed, thereby angering Big Mom, whose own power and crew vastly outmatched anything Hody or his crew were capable of combating. He will do whatever is needed to achieve his goals as he joined Neptune's army solely for sheer military knowledge and experience and has no qualms about betraying his former comrades.

He claims that he is fully willing to give his own life to destroy humanity. Hody has shown a great deal of cunning as he deceived the citizens of Fish-Man Island into believing a human murdered Queen Otohime , stole the Energy Steroids from the royal palace without Neptune suspecting him, and later allied with Vander Decken IX even though Hody does not really see him as an equal so as to carry out his plan on infiltrating the near impenetrable Ryugu Palace and in an effort to kill Shirahoshi.

Hody is also extremely arrogant and boastful to the point of being insane , showing that he not only thinks himself above all humans, but also above all his fellow fish-men, and went as far as to call the Straw Hat Pirates and a former Warlord of the Sea weak, despite their fearsome reputations and high bounties. Like many other characters, he has a distinctive laugh : "Jahahahaha!

Hody seems to be someone who would rather handle things himself, evident when he instructed Ikaros Much to stay back after the latter volunteered to go after Crab-Hand Gyro's crew and opted to hunt them down himself.

He also seems devoted to their cause to the point where he was willing to resort to the use of the Energy Steroids without any fear of the side effects. Even though the rest of his crew was shocked at the news that he killed Otohime, the officers themselves already knew. However, Hody does not have any care for his crewmates as shown when he used one of them as a shield. Dosun even admits that Hody will not hesitate to throw his comrades away.

His officers, being just as fanatically prejudiced as he is, are willing to die for their cause if Hody insisted. Regardless of that, Hody's subordinates still follow, respect, and support him.

They do seem to care about him since they did show concern for him after Zoro had dealt him a grievous wound and when he had an overdose of Energy Steroids. However, when the lower-rank subordinates were begging for mercy from Jinbe after Hody's defeat, they claimed that they followed Hody because they feared him. Hody deeply respected Arlong and wished to continue his legacy of conquering humans, though he did think Arlong was barbaric and unsophisticated, a mistake that Hody claimed to have learned from and was more prepared as a result.

He sought to defeat Luffy not for defeating Arlong, but for ending Arlong's ambitions of conquering humans. Nonetheless, Arlong was one of the most influential people in Hody's childhood. Hody respects Fisher Tiger , the hero of the fish-man race, and despises the humans for refusing to donate blood to Tiger in his greatest hour of need though in truth Tiger refused the blood transfusion due to it being tainted by humanity's hatred for fish-men, a fact Tiger asked his crew not to reveal.

However, upon Jinbe's return to Ryugu Kingdom as a Warlord of the Sea, Hody learned that Tiger wished to be at peace with humans, which did not stand well with Hody's beliefs. Even as a child, Hody despised Hatchan for speaking highly of humans such as Silvers Rayleigh , and felt the urge to vomit in disgust whenever Hatchan spoke positively about this friendship.

Hody deeply loathes the citizens of Fish-Man Island for not sharing his perspective. Not only did he terrorize the citizens with violence during his uprising, he psychologically tormented them by forcing them to step on the fumi-e of their beloved queen. Hody deems them worthless and claims that they are the reason why humans scorn fish-men and also expressed a desire to execute those who gave their signatures for migration, deeming them as traitors and their signatures as a list to track on.

During his final battle with Luffy, Hody attempted to kill the citizens by having Noah fall down on Fish-Man Island, wanting them dead rather than seeing them coexist with humans. Like the rest of his crew, Hody despises humans, looking down on them with the full intent of conquering them. He believes humans are as worthless as slaves, and was willing to use them as disposable pawns for his invasion plan.

Despite this, he was willing to grant freedom to those who completed the task he gave them, although the task he gave them had a very low survival chance. He only spared Gyro and his crew so that they could tell the terrors of the fish-man race to the rest of the world.

According to Fukaboshi , Hody hates humans more than anyone else, even though he had no reason to other than being raised to hate them emptily. Luffy , for crushing Arlong's ambitions. He made the extra effort to kill them during his coup d'etat on Ryugu Kingdom, and intended to show Luffy's head as a way to incite fear to the surface world. Even after suffering a complete defeat and his body broke down to the point of no repair, Hody continuously demanded for Luffy to be brought to him for a rematch.

Hody despises Otohime for her philosophy of interspecies cooperation between humans, fish-men and merfolks, which clashes against his hatred against humanity. To this end, he personally killed her and destroyed the signatures she worked so hard to gather and then ultimately put her hard work to waste by framing a human for the murder. While celebrating Otohime's death with his comrades, Hody calls it heaven's judgement.

During the coup against the Ryugu Kingdom, Hody forced the citizens of fish-man Island to step on her portrait, squashing her supporters and insulting her even after her death. He later bragged about killing her in front of everyone and openly ridiculed her ideals. However, even though Otohime died without knowing who shot her, she did not hate her assailant and pleaded for her children to do the same, a wish that Princess Shirahoshi went to great lengths to honor.

Hody would go on to further ridicule this mercy and kindness when he was informed about it. Hody believes that Neptune is a worthless king because he from Hody's perspective lacks pride.

He did not enjoy enlisting in the Neptune Army and only sought to gain battle experience for his own self interest. After Hody successfully captured the king, he attempted to execute him in front of his people.

Unfortunately for him, Hody failed due to Luffy's interference. Hody also earned Neptune's hatred when he revealed that he was the one behind his wife's assassination. When Hody became a frail, old man, Neptune expressed his pity towards him. Hody made an alliance with Vander Decken IX , and stated it was a pleasure to be working together, and that they were equals instead of leader and underling.

However, the reason Hody worked with Decken was because he considered Shirahoshi a threat and thought Decken would be the perfect person to kill her, and that he never really saw Decken as an equal, but instead put up with it simply to use him. After he failed to kill the princess, Hody considered Decken useless.

Hody also notes that Jinbe and the faction of the Sun Pirates that follow him are an annoyance. Even though Jinbe had no idea that Hody was the one who actually murdered Otohime until Hody reveals it , [29] he seems to be the only one outside the Fish-Man District to be aware of Hody's dark nature since he had been keeping tabs on Hody while he was plotting something in the Fish-Man District.

During the confrontation at Gyoncorde Plaza, Hody stated that he hates Jinbe the most for not being an enemy of humans especially after the death of Fisher Tiger. Because of Shirahoshi 's ability to summon Sea Kings, Hody Jones considers her as a threat to his plans.

Hody, in return, ridiculed Shirahoshi for her kindness and mercy. He was stripped of this power when he and his crew were arrested by the Neptune Army. Usopp noted that Arlong was nothing compared to Hody. However, he was shown to be vastly inferior to several of the Straw Hat Pirates, being severely injured by Zoro even while underwater and easily overpowered by Luffy; to compensate, he was forced to gorge on the Energy Steroids to become a match for Luffy.

He also possesses enormous willpower as he was completely unaffected by Luffy's Haoshoku Haki though the anime depicted his hand trembling slightly. During his time in the Neptune Army, he was recognized as a particularly talented soldier. Hody was shown to be an extensive planner and shrewd captain, carefully managing the core group of the "New Fish-Man Pirates" so that all its members would share his extremist ideals and intense prejudice towards humanity. He shot Queen Otohime of Fish-Man Island and then framed a nearby human smuggler as his scapegoat, to increase support from the wider island community in persecuting humans.

He was also more financially supportive of his members, freely willing to spend money to recruit the services of Hyouzou something which Arlong was unwilling to do , and was also able to recognize the value of an alliance with Vander Decken IX as an equal partner to kill the potential threat of Princess Shirahoshi. Prior to his body becoming old and frail, as a fish-man, he was ten times stronger than the average human, and twice that in water.

His strength was monstrous even by fish-man standards: he was able to completely destroy a massive wall of stone by simply gripping it. After overdosing on Energy Steroids and before they made him weak , Hody Jones' physical appearance drastically changed, resulting in a more muscular body and bleached-white hair.

Also, Hody's strength had increased tremendously. However, after his body became weak and old due to his overdosing, he lost both the boost he got and his natural strength to the point where he needed a stick just to walk, and when he tried to pull apart iron bars, his wrists broke. Like Arlong, Hody is also able to grow his teeth back immediately after they are broken.

His removed set of teeth are replaced by a new set in mere moments. His eyes take on an appearance similar to those of sea kings. In this state, Hody seems to have gone mad to which Shirahoshi commented that he became far more terrifying than he usually is. During his raid on the Ryugu Palace, Hody was seen holding a long, thin red trident , [39] possibly something he has kept from his old days as a soldier.

He managed to defeat Decken with it by stabbing him and then lifting him to block one of Decken's flying axes. In the anime, Hody also threw the trident like a projectile against Zoro. In the manga, Hody was seen holding a different trident after being struck a grievous wound by Zoro and then revitalizing himself with an Energy Steroid. It was a light-colored one with elaborate design underneath the spikes, similar to the one used by Neptune himself, but much smaller.

Later in the manga, he returned to using his original trident. The Kirisame is a curved blade that Hody puts on his dorsal fin to cut people while swimming at high speed, being sharp enough to slice through a large oarfish and underwater mountains. This further enhances his shark features. During his assassination of Otohime, he used a rifle to kill her. He showed enough accuracy to shoot her while she was in the middle of a crowd without detection. By taking the deadly Energy Steroids , which doubled his strength each time he consumes a pill, Hody became far more dangerous than he already was, taking further advantage of his amazing physical strength.

The pills had become Hody's main source of power for his campaign of terror. Each pill he took doubled his physical strength. During his attack against Crab-Hand Gyro's escaping ship he had taken at least four and while being underwater, granting him strength at least three-hundred-twenty times that of an average human.

His jaws were also very powerful as they were all he needed to single-handedly defeat Crab-Hand Gyro, a pirate with a bounty of 73,,, and his entire crew. Swimming with blinding speed, he punched holes in their ship and even ripped the mast off using his jaws. These pills also seemed to regenerate the users' wounds to some extent and take strain off them, as seen when a wounded and seemingly unconscious Hody, given one more pill, managed to stand up in mere seconds and to use his strength to its full extent, stopping the gigantic Neptune with just one hand.

This led him to abuse the pills as though they were painkillers. After overdosing on the drug to ease the pain of the scar Zoro gave him, Hody underwent a painful transformation into a much more massive form.

In this new form, his strength was greater than ever, allowing him to fire a drop of water like a bullet a great distance across the island, piercing through people, buildings and rock alike. Thanks to the Energy Steroids, he was also able to withstand a lot of damage from Luffy's Haki-enforced attacks.

Also, Hody was able to swim faster than a mermaid as he managed to catch Shirahoshi while she was fleeing. However, the Energy Steroids came back to do more harm than good as it made his body weak and old after his arrest. When he tried to bust through the prison cell, he screamed in pain as his joints snapped where he tried to draw his strength from. Hody was a practitioner of Fish-Man Karate and he showcased it by his manipulation of water.

He could hurl simple droplets of water and turn them into deadly bullets with extreme kinetic force. After overdosing on Energy Steroids, Hody appeared to drip with water even though he was not soaked, suggesting that he had been secreting it.

However, despite his enormous strength, and according to both Luffy and Jinbe, Hody's Fish-Man Karate was at an amateur level. This was shown when he fought Luffy, for while Jinbe could do noticeable damage to the rubber man, Hody's attacks were ineffective. After his body became old and frail as a side-effect of the steroids, he likely lost the ability to perform it altogether.

As Hody and his future officers were growing up in the Fish-Man District, they only learned one thing: hate humans. With Arlong as their role-model, they were indoctrinated into believing that fish-men were heaven-sent to rule the world and they grew to despise humans based on the belief that they are destined to be superior.

Hody and his crew looked up to Arlong and his dream. Sometime later, in the Fish-Man District , a fish-man was preaching in the street about how humans are an inferior species that are running rampant and threatening fish-mankind. Hody Jones listened to this and seemed to take it to heart. Another fish-man was talking about someone who blew up a slave shop on the surface.

A memorial wreath was in front of a large picture of the fish-man in question. People were standing around it, saying that he died, but took eight humans with him and caused widespread disaster on the surface.

Hody was pleased that humans died while Ikaros Much was praising the man, saying he wants to be a "hero" too. At another point, Hody and some other children were listening to Hatchan's story about his friendship with a human named Rayleigh.

Before Hatchan finished, Hody left in utter disgust. While they were teenagers, Hody and his companions read about Fisher Tiger's exploits at Mary Geoise. They cheered the Sun Pirates on thinking that their goal was to destroy humans, not knowing that Fisher Tiger had non-lethal methods. At some point, he joined the Neptune Army only to gain battle experience and not out of loyalty [10] while his future crew became a group of anarchists that attacked fish-men that dealt with blood transfers with humans.

During his time as a soldier, he was present in the throne room when Jinbe, the captain of the Sun Pirates after Fisher Tiger, spoke with Neptune. Hody seemed displeased upon hearing that Jinbe accepted the position of Warlord of the Sea and that Tiger actually wanted peace with the humans. When a World Noble, Saint Mjosgard , arrived on the island, Hody was in favor of killing him, considering him to be "the worst trash in the world".

When Otohime was nearly successful in her campaign for peace with humans, Hody paid a human pirate to set fire to the signature box. Amidst the chaos, Hody assassinated Otohime with a rifle. After successfully murdering Otohime, Hody then shot the pirate. Jinbe, not suspecting Hody at all, advised him to hide the pirate. Hody ignored Jinbe and declared to everyone that Otohime was assassinated by the human. Every citizen believed Hody as they grieved over Otohime's death and so, Hody successfully demoralized the citizens as well as giving them another reason to hate humans.

Hody then presented the Energy Steroids and asked Zeo to mass-produce them. Learning from the Arlong Pirates' mistakes, Hody and his crew made thorough preparations to carry on Arlong's will. Occasionally, some of the human captives attempted to flee only to be made examples by Hody. Although he embodied insidious qualities like hatred and bigotry, he was also a formidable villain who was frequently underrated.

With the power of energy steroids at his disposal, Hody was able to overthrow Neptune and would have massacred his people if it weren't for the Straw Hats' interference. By matching him against a diverse roster of the series' characters, we can better appreciate how strong the villain really is. Although Arlong was Hody's inspiration , he wouldn't be able to fare against him in a fight.

Even in his base form, Hody was powerful enough to sink massive pirate ships in seconds. Moreover, his "Water Shot" provided him with devastating projectiles that could demolish several huge columns of coral. Additionally, Hody has much more durability than his predecessor. He could withstand numerous punches from a third gear Luffy using armament haki.

Conversely, Arlong was knocked unconscious by Luffy's Gum-Gum techniques without any special enhancements. Zoro managed to defeat Hody in their first encounter and was only captured under the most unfavorable circumstances.

Not only did their initial battle occur entirely underwater, but Hody's henchmen were also there to drag the swordsman back down when he came up for air. Even with energy steroids, Hody wouldn't be able to fully exploit the water since Zoro can swim. Moreover, given that he could cleave apart Pica a giant the size of a mountain with a single slice, it follows that he could rip through a fish-man's body with even greater ease.

Under ordinary circumstances, Hancock's lust-based devil fruit can sedate and petrify her targets. This would allow her to shatter their stony bodies, effectively killing them no matter how durable they once were. In this instance, Hody's boundless contempt for the human race would work to his advantage.

It would allow him to ignore Hancock's wiles and charge forward with a direct attack. Considering that the Pirate-Empress doesn't have anything capable of putting Hody down in his steroid state, her defeat is gory and inevitable. Although Hody might have the advantage of experience, Caesar Clown is a perfect counter to him. Remove from Favorites Add to Favorites Animeography. One Piece add Supporting.

He is an admirer and fanatical believer of Arlong's ideals. Hody is a racist, overly hypocritical, prideful, brutal and vicious natured fishman who, like many of his kind, hates humans for leaving Fisher Tiger to die when he could have been saved which was not true, as Tiger refused human blood due to being betrayed. He proves this by attacking humans within his reach. He, like Arlong, believes that fishmen are the supreme race, showing his arrogance by attacking Gyro's crew with his hands cuffed, showing them that they could easily be destroyed even with the handicap.
