How could he have died. It was just a shovel

You don't get it, it's the pump action shovel like in Scary Movie 3

u/gordon0813 God Usopp 1d ago

How is that sounding racist? Calling his jaw strength strong enough to eat a shovel is somehow racist???

8

u/misterclean101 22h ago

Other commenter was likely joking, but its because not all fishmen have strong jaw strength. Your other comment was the equivalent of all black people run fast.

As opposed to saying "Arlong could just snap is in half because of his jaw strength".

2

u/WushuManInJapan 20h ago

So you're saying all because he's a fishman he can't enjoy a succulent meal of a finely varnished oak handled carbon steel shovel?

u/Infinitedeveloper 21h ago

She isnt really in a good position for leverage though.

u/zaerosz Void Month Survivor 20h ago

reminder that 4Kids Luffy killed Bellemere by collapsing Arlong Park on top of her (since she was locked up in the dungeon instead of being killed like in canon)

31

u/MrLuxarina 19h ago

She already died in the time between the flashback and the present day. Nami and Nojiko still visit her grave in the 4Kids version, they just didn't want to show her being murdered on screen. Which, if you think about it, means her death was probably worse for her in the 4Kids universe. Instead of a quick bullet to the head she died in a dingy cell from either starvation, dehydration, exposure, infection or injuries suffered at the hands of Arlong and his crew.

u/HyperWhiteChocolate Cipher Pol 14h ago

u/TackoftheEndless 19h ago

Where did they ever say the dungeon was in Arlong Park in the 4kids version?

7

u/zaerosz Void Month Survivor 19h ago

Where the hell else would he put it? Somewhere outside the seat of his power, where all his strongest fighters hang out? That's a great way to get jailbreaks happening.

Not that it matters, because nobody on the writing team thought about it for longer than it took to ask and answer "how do we avoid saying she died".

-4

u/TackoftheEndless 19h ago

So it was never said that the dungeon was in Arlong Park in the 4kids version, like I thought. Got it.

Ah yes, right before Bellemere was sent to Darling's totally not sus dungeon.

6

u/Tao626 1d ago

Would honestly take the gun over the bullet.

At least the gun is most likely quick, unless you're one of the unlucky ones. That shovel meanwhile is very unlikely to do the job the first time, but you'll be left in a state where you're hoping they quickly just finish the job...So they try again, and again, and again whilst you lay on the floor looking like Beaker from the Muppets.

u/NhecotickdurMaster 1d ago

Darling had teeth harder than bullets. He could bite faster than she could pull the trigger probably.

208

u/dontrike 1d ago

Based on how deep that gun is in his mouth, I don't think he really has any teeth back there to bite that bullet.

103

u/BlameTheButler 1d ago

Unless he bites right through the barrel before the rifle goes off.

87

u/WhyAmIHere800884 Galley-La Company 1d ago

So... you mean... unless he does what he actually did?

Arlong in the Franxx

1

u/Necessary_Piano_153 Soul King Brook 1d ago

Still will cause damage that close

12

u/BlameTheButler 1d ago

If he bites down on the barrel I imagine the bullet would collide with his teeth and break off inside the barrel. At worst I could see Arlong taking some shrapnel to the face and lips, but with his tough skin I wonder how much damage that would actually do.

4

u/NhecotickdurMaster 1d ago

He bit the whole barrel to get out of that situation.

20

u/dontrike 1d ago

Yes, but the question is if he can deep throat a bullet.

23

u/NhecotickdurMaster 1d ago

I refuse to powerscale a bullet versus Arlong's throat

32

u/Necessary_Piano_153 Soul King Brook 1d ago

Not if he was cocky enough to think she wouldn't pull the trigger.

u/Spencer5610 1d ago

You completely missed the point of the post.

u/NhecotickdurMaster 1d ago

If Bellemere took the shot there, darling would not have died, as he would bite the gun faster than she could pull the trigger.

6

u/Spencer5610 1d ago

Illiterate. If she took the shot, she’s already pulled the trigger.

2

u/NhecotickdurMaster 1d ago

if she shot - the bullet leaves the barrel

if she took the shot - she decides to shoot

literacy

u/Spencer5610 1d ago
  1. Your argument is completely invalid as the bullet would leave the barrel in both instances.

  2. Don’t lecture me on literacy when you clearly have none to begin with.

u/NhecotickdurMaster 1d ago

If Bellemere took the shot there, darling would not have died, as he would bite the gun faster than she could pull the trigger.

Mine has been horrendous for months. And from perusing online, it seems like a LOT of people's autocorrect has been shit for a while.

I'm sure Darling would have found a way to worm out the situation but I don't see how he relates to One Piece.

u/Ambitious_Row_2113 Pirate 10h ago

Even if Arlong died, the whole island would be conquered and treated cruelly by his comrades. Hacchan is the only compassive.

9

u/Dizzy-Kitchen7243 10h ago

Yea but then zoro and sanji would have solo’d this island

7

u/Ambitious_Row_2113 Pirate 9h ago

I don’t think so. Nami would have stayed there if Arlong never gave her the chance to try to gather that money, so the Straw Hats would have never gone to Cocoyasi in the first place.

However, if they coincidentally arrived, Luffy would defeat the Fishmen band just bc he doesn’t like tyranny so…

This is a crime. I want Nami to see him, freeze, and Zorro cut him to pieces as a reflex for noticing her reaction without checking who she's looking at before moving in.

7

u/Raptormind 1d ago

I’m guessing Arlong would have noticed her finger move and bitten off the end of the gun before she could finish pulling the trigger, and I kind of doubt the bullet would go through his teeth with enough force left over to kill

6

u/Basic_Mastodon3078 Devil Child Nico Robin 21h ago

No, but i doubt he wouldn’t take a severe injury. He’s a fishman sure, but thats a point blank shot that wouldn’t be stopped by his hard skin.
