## One Piece Chapter 648, pages 15-16: The Path Towards the Sun - Chapter: 648 - Pages: 15-16 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Jinbe, Tony Tony Chopper, Shirahoshi, Fishman Island, Nami, Usopp, Otohime ### Summary Page 15: The narration names what the transfusion means: "The deep red of blood... it flows from those who are hurt, and in those who do the hurting. Though far too narrow to be called a path... it was the tiny tubes... through which that blood now flowed..." The blood crosses a line "that tore through prejudice and fear" and passes through "the battles of those who sought to wash away blood with more blood." The page frames Luffy and Jinbe connected by medical tubes while the history of hatred watches around them. The blood flows "so smoothly and easily," clearer than any dream or ideal, and becomes "a path to the sun." Page 16: Luffy opens his eyes. Shirahoshi cries, "Ahhh! Luffy-sama is coming to!!" and Nami and Usopp shout, "Luffy!!" Luffy looks at Jinbe and says his name: "Jinbe..." Jinbe asks, "You're conscious?" Luffy answers, "Well, I never..." Then the moment cuts to another memory of Luffy by the sea, smiling and saying, "Hey, Jinbe... join my crew!!" In the present, the invitation hangs over the medical scene and the cheering island. Shirahoshi says, "Mother... we have finally reached your 'zero'," tying the blood shared before everyone to the long path away from hatred.
