Hyouzou attacking everyone while being completely drunk was actually terrifying, and seeing Daruma tear through that factory shows how dangerous the steroids made the whole crew.

You can see the life draining out of Hody every time he takes another pill and that transformation was just pure body horror

Episode Context

This episode runs on dread. The New Fish-Man Pirates are on the march, and the atmosphere shifts from political tension to outright menace as Hody Jones reveals just how far he's willing to go for power. The focus here is on the corrupting cost of artificial strength, expect unsettling transformation sequences and a villain whose desperation makes him genuinely dangerous. Meanwhile, the philosophical rift between Luffy and Jinbe continues to simmer, grounding the action in a meaningful debate about when to fight and who gets to lead the charge. Pacing leans toward buildup rather than payoff; this is the deep breath before the plunge. King Neptune and the Straw Hats orbit the same crisis from different angles, and the tension at Gyoncorde Plaza is unmistakably heading toward a boiling point.
