## One Piece Chapter 529, pages 3-4: Beast Hell - Chapter: 529 - Pages: 3-4 - Characters: Jimbei, Portgas D. Ace, Whitebeard, Fishman Island residents, World Government, Crocodile ### Summary Page 3: Jimbei remembers that many fishmen and mermaids were abducted and sold, and that just as they were about to give in to despair, Whitebeard appeared. In the flashback, Whitebeard declares, "This island is under my protection!!!" Jimbei says he will never forget that day. With those words, nobody dared to lay a hand on Fishman Island. Jimbei explains that Whitebeard has several islands under the protection of his name and that it is not right to take him down just because he is a pirate boss. He worries that if Whitebeard dies, the Government is very well able to imagine what would happen across those seas. The page shows Jimbei's fear: Whitebeard's fall would create a power vacuum and revive old violence. Page 4: Jimbei says he wanted to stop the coming fight even if it cost him his life, and he wanted to get Ace out of here. Ace, chained flat to the floor, tells him, "...Jimbei... that's enough... You're just making it worse...!!!" Jimbei still refuses to give up, saying he has not given up hope yet and still has faith that a miracle or opportunity will present itself. In a nearby dark cell, another prisoner laughs, "Kuhahaha... Things are getting pretty interesting..." followed by "Kukukuku...!!" The page keeps Jimbei's desperation in focus while revealing that another powerful inmate is listening with amusement. Ace knows Jimbei's defiance only brings him more punishment, but Jimbei cannot abandon his justice.
