Lola's mother? The lips in the flag kind of remind me of it and Nami could be with her.
Big Mom being Lola's mother has been a theory before we even knew her name (just going from how Lola's crew talk about her massively powerful mother in the New World, her being an Emperor seemed likely), and only looks more and more probable since then.
But yeah, not sure if she actually is anywhere near Fishman Island.

So... not that much new. Well, Neptune showed up and I guess we know what the next arc will be about but apart from that... Well, we got to know the new Strawhat fodder (as if they were any more than that)
Seems to me that this arc is getting stretched out too much. Now that doesn't mean I want it to end immediately, I just dislike how scattered the story feels. I like the island and I certainly wouldn't mind staying here but please keep a pace. Yes it's fishmen isle and yes it's been anticipated for years but don't make every little thing take so much time just to keep us here. Example: the ally confusion at the beginning seems to be there only to put off Luffy hearing what Jinbei has to say.

Is getting stretched out? it has been stretched out, but is just starting to pick up. It has had a few dead chapters though.

I think maybe the reason things feel so slow right now is that we're coming down from a big action-packed arc that was the Impel Down/Whitebeard arc. There was a ton of fast-paced, exciting action there and something awesome happening every chapter. Right now we're taking a bit of a breather and setting up for the new adventures to start, which means things don't seem as quick or exciting as before.
Still good, but it'll get more enjoyable once the breather slips back into action, I'd imagine.
I didn't use to, but I started some years ago when I found it made it more enjoyable.
Of course, then I'd go and watch the anime and the voices in my head don't really match the ones on the screen, and then it all gets creepy. For example: I always imagined that Chopper would change his voice when he changed forms... then I watch the anime and the big hulking gorilla Chopper has this little kids voice. It was just weirding me out.
I take back whatever I said, OP is picking up again, yay ^^
So, the fodder guy's (I can't remember his name atm) power is swamp and he likes to be in a hentai instead of in OP. Well... I can see the doujinshi coming...
All the Strawhats are fine, Neptune is a bit off, and even though the last joke could be seen coming a page earlier it's still kind of funny. Well, I'm fine with the new chapter.

Well, guess I'd be kinda interested but no knowledge of the rules whatsoever, so... ^^'
Also, giant mermaid might be hot but... hell, what yre you going to do with her?! Okay, a few things but most of the awesome stuff is... impossible. Okay, getting off-topic here *cough*
^ Not if you have Luffy's powers. Remember, anything stretches. And he's shown ability to make parts of him extra-large in the past...
I'm indecisive whether to be aroused or or freaked out by my mental images right now...
But... okay apart from Luffy (and probably some giants) noone will be able to enjoy her extra curvy body very much. Too bad.

Even removing the size issues, there's still the Mermaid Problem in the first place.
Still, it might be interesting if they explore having a crybaby of that size near a fruit-user. If someone who's eaten a devil fruit is paralyzed in salt water, shouldn't tears that big be capable of stunning one for a while?
Don't forget, much like reed richards he is also most likely prehensile in every appendage...
Except Luffy has never demonstrated that level of control of his powers. The gum-gum fruit isn't a Logia-type after all, and at least a couple of his moves require that his body isn't prehensile (Gum-gum hammer for instance). I wonder where you got that from.

That's not a fish thing, that's a mermaid thing. You've never seen a mermaid with two tails? The Starbucks logo used to have one before they wised up to the implications and cropped the picture.
Thought it was in the 30s or so. Speaking of which... isn't Neptune the first merman that's popped up in One Piece so far? And man... that daughter of his. o_O

Word of God has it that he can. Apparently Luffy's bones can shift between states, converting back and forth as Luffy requires. The only real difference between Luffy and Reed Richards is that Luffy can't just stretch as he wills, he needs to put some momentum into it first. (So whereas Richards could just reach up to that top shelf, Luffy would need to wind up as if throwing a softball or punch).
