## One Piece Chapter 901, pages 9-11: Even If You Die, Don't Die!!! - Chapter: 901 - Pages: 9-11 - Characters: Aladine, Wadatsumi, Jinbe, Monkey D. Luffy, Nami, Sanji, Tony Tony Chopper ### Summary Page 9: The Sun Pirates answer Aladine with unity. "Jinbe's departure on his new voyage!!" is declared as the reason for their stand, and the crew roars, "Yeeaaahhhh!! Everyone made up their minds!!" As the Charlotte fleet advances, Luffy looks back in alarm, but the Sun Pirates place themselves between the enemy and the Sunny. Someone calls, "Stand down, Wadatsumi!!!" because Wadatsumi has already done his part. The ship moves ahead while Aladine looks over the warriors who remain in the water. He shouts, "Aladine!! Everyone!!" and they form a living rear guard against the pursuers. The escape is no longer just a trick; it is a deliberate sacrifice by Jinbe's former crew. Page 10: The Sunny surges away while the Queen Mama Chanter looms behind it. From the rear, someone urges, "Run away, Jinbei! You too, Straw Hats!! We wish you a safe voyage!!!" On the Sunny, the crew fights to keep the ship moving. "A sail ship becomes vulnerable when flooded," one says. "Quick, remove all the water!!" Another warns, "The ship is becoming heavier and slower." The order follows: "Patch the holes in the sails so they're able to catch the wind... Work together! Escape at the fastest speed possible!!" Jinbe gives the harsh calculation: "It will still take a few hours for you to get out of Big Mom's territory...!!" Luffy asks, "What are you saying, Jinbe!? What's that explanation for!?" and the silence before him says Jinbe is preparing to stay. Page 11: Jinbe finally says what he has been building toward: "I can't... leave them behind!!!" Luffy, wounded and breathing hard, listens as Jinbe explains the tactical necessity. "They're guarding our rear to help the ship escape!" Jinbe says, and when Luffy objects, he adds, "...Alright!! I understand! Then we'll also...!!" But Jinbe cuts off that impulse with his own request. The fleet is still moving, and he warns, "We've made it this far, but... if the flagship and fleet continue to chase us... we won't be able to make it out...!!!" Then he asks for the duty himself: "The rear guard!! Please leave it to me!!" His choice is both loyalty to his old crew and responsibility to his new captain.
