Sooo van der decken is essentially the bullseye of one piece. Am I the only one whose completely underwhelmed? the target target has to be the lamest fruit power seen thus far in the series.

Also why are the cannon fodder pirates so afraid of being killed by Hodi Jones if he can't get into the castle unless they open shit up?

I hope Luffy gets to that shrine so he can meet Jimbei and maybe we'll get a legitmate reason why we should consider hodi a threat.
