The answer
Chapter 623 · updated
Fisher Tiger refused human blood because he did not want to live on with their blood in his veins. He screamed that the blood was tainted and came from those who had scorned fish-men all their lives, declaring he refused to be in their debt or accept their pity. ch. 623, p. 12 Tiger added that he would never submit to the humans. ch. 623, p. 13 His refusal stemmed from years spent as a slave at Mariejoa, where he witnessed human madness, leaving a grudge that his mind could not overcome even though he knew kind-hearted humans existed. ch. 623, p. 16 "I don't want to live on with their blood in my veins!!!" he cried when the crew offered a transfusion from the stolen Marine ship. ch. 623, p. 12 "That blood is tainted!! ...It's the blood of those who have scorned us all their lives!!!" he continued. ch. 623, p. 13 "...MY BODY... REFUSES TO ACCEPT THEIR BLOOD!!!" his inner voice stated while he lay dying. ch. 623, p. 16 The crew's pleas failed because his resentment remained firm after the betrayal that led to his mortal wounds.
