## One Piece Chapter 529, pages 2-3: Beast Hell - Chapter: 529 - Pages: 2-3 - Characters: Jimbei, Portgas D. Ace, Whitebeard, Fishman Island residents, pirates, Marines, World Government ### Summary Page 2: Ace weakly says he seems to remember Jimbei trying to kill him a couple of times, and Jimbei answers, "...Same goes for you...!!" Jimbei says he only wanted to be useful to Whitebeard. He explains that Fishman Island is at peace now, and that it is all thanks to "your old man, Whitebeard...!!!" Jimbei lays out the danger: every pirate who advances through the Grand Line must pass through Fishman Island, and when the "Great Pirate Age" began, the island was thrown into chaos. An endless stream of human pirates and Marines pursued them, turning the island into a vulnerable crossroads. The page makes Whitebeard's protection a political shield for Fishman Island, not merely a pirate alliance. 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.
