Dellinger vs Hody

[Roarchu]

How would Dellinger fare against Hody without drugs and Hody with drugs?

I set up the Poll options relative to if Hody is drugged or not, I thought it was easier.

 

[Holt]

Normal Hody loses but drugged one wins.
Hody was actually on drugs all the time so I think his normal form was pretty weak or atleast not strong enough to beat dellinger.

 

[Impossibility]

Yep, regular Hody loses. He's effectively useless. Hody on steroids wins the second match. There's a massive gap in power between the two.

I guess that normal Hody would win... but only if fight took place in water

Drugged one also wins thanks to his durability.

We didn't see anything about normal Hody, his only feat was destroying the wall in the castle with just one hand and after that he was cut down by Zoro in one slash (Dellinger would end up the same way against Zoro IMO), so i don't really know...
Hody on steroids just need to sneeze on Dellinger and the fight is over though.

Dellinger is also a water fighter. He's a descendant of the fighting fish so he'll be equally comfortable fighting in water

Actually he had already taken about 4 pills by then. Right from when he was introduced, he had been taking pills. He took some before defeating those pirates. Then he went to the palace, and broke the wall. Then got one shotted by zoro underwater before he overdosed. The only info we have of him while normal is that he served in the army.

Maybe it's a faulty translation, but in this scan it's stated that it is his natural strength.

Oh. I remember that. My bad.

No its probably not a mistake.

Well at least Hodys hands are very likely helping him more than what Dellinger has. Half fishman is still not a fishman I guess- Delli has a fin, teeth and bloodlust but he still is not a fishman.
I would put Hody above Dellinger in water, I dont say that Del is incapable in water but I value more Hody in that situation.

 

[Holt]

Doesn't the same go for hody and other fishmen? They're mostly only half of fish composition. I mean yeah he has webbed hands but would it really make much of a difference? Well maybe you're right.

I think that its like comparing person that dives with equipment to person that dives without it. I also didnt seen any gills on Dellinger so thats another handicap for underwater fight.

 

[Holt]

He certainly has gills though. It wouldn't make sense if he has fins but no gills. Well he might not have visible gills but he definitely should be able to breathe underwater.

Then it would make him fishman. Oda never shown/ hinted to it. Its safer to assume he has no gills and is at least in half a human.

Maybe but then associating him with a fish wouldn't follow. Why have fins, fighting fish horns and teeth but can't even can't do the basic fish thing which is surviving in water? I just find it weird.

If he would have gills to all that he already has he would be considered fishman I believe.

I think he's considered half because he is for the most part human or his fishman mode is temporary/deactivateable. Arlong for example was in what you would call a permanent fishman mode. Fins, gills, teeth were always there. Same with hody, hatchan etc. Dellinger looks human but can transform. That's what it looks like to me atleast.

Also it quite weird for Oda to give dellinger things to thrive in water/sea, fins for swimming, sharp fish teeth, even the horns yet exclude the basic thing needed for survival in water in the first place which are the gills.

I chose the second option. Dellinger would own hody without his roids. I also believe that zoro would have had an easier time owning the roided up hody than luffy too. Anyways, screw hody, Without his roids he would have been dominated by luffy like how pacquiao owned Ricky Hatton in their fight.
