gotta love that DR/ 5 sharkman.

Given this is luffy, and that was maximum damage, we are likely looking at more like DR/30. Anything less and I don't see Gordan being surprised.

Wouldn't that be written "DR 30/-"?

Depends on if it can be bypassed and if so by what.

DR that can *only* by bypassed by exactly 30 damage

IT BEGINS.

It's fine. Arlong has a stance for that.

Would not surprise me if shark fish man have a racial great they can take to gain fast healing. It would explain Arlong's great durability as well as Hordy's later.

Maybe even a racial paragon class that gives him DR and fast healing.

More likely that a form of Fishman Chops gives them some sort of DR. "Seawater Movement" or some sort.

We learned in the hawkeye fight that even half-fishmen have health regen in water, so I wouldn't be surprised.

I thought that was from the "energy steroid" (I think I got that right) that increased strength at the cost of decreasing lifespan. Or at least greatly enhanced by it.

And it would explain Zoro's great durability as well, if he were able to take a lesser version of that racial. Isn't GL3.5 Zoro 1/16th fishman?

Don't worry Luffy, try again with diplomacy

This IS the diplomacy.

I wonder if he gets bonus damage for using his diplomacy check

‘ere we go

East Blue final boss Arlong ain’t going down without a fight
