^I do not doubt the set-up for Fishman Island; rather I doubt the actual stay. Specifically, many of the reasons we originally had for going to the island (meeting Jinbei; seeing Arlong's roots; finding out Tiger's background; etc), have either become irrelevant (Jinbei has left, and he was one of the 2 major reasons Luffy was going to the island (the other being the Log Post)) or they need not be there that long to explore (we've already learned something major about Tiger's past (and without a flashback, the rest of what we will learn will be confined to a chapter or two); and so far there is no distinction between the new Fishmen pirates and Arlong's pirates (hopefully this will change)). About the only real mystery left that hasn't been mentioned is when they will meet the Mermaid Princess (it is still unknown if Van der Decken has anything to do with Fishman Island, so he could be a set-up for the next arc, or he could become the Gan Fall/Kokoro for this arc).
