## One Piece Chapter 627, pages 9-11: You Have My Gratitude - Chapter: 627 - Pages: 9-11 - Characters: Neptune, Shirahoshi, Vander Decken, Fukaboshi, Ryuboshi, Manboshi, Otohime, Jinbe ### Summary Page 9: A new incident interrupts the mourning. A love letter addressed to Shirahoshi appears, declaring, "I have fallen in love with you. I know it is scary me! Vander Decken." This is already the fifth letter, and the letters keep following Shirahoshi wherever she goes. Neptune orders that the children not be taken to the funeral because the assassin may still have accomplices nearby, and also commands that Vander Decken be captured at once. The threat around Shirahoshi begins almost immediately after Otohime's death. Page 10: At the Ocean Forest, Fish-Man Island gathers for Otohime's funeral beneath her portrait. The people stand in mourning while the monitor crackles: "People of Fishman Island..." Neptune, still away from the crowd, listens as the image of his dead wife presides over a sea of grieving citizens. The funeral is public and massive, but the royal family is fractured by danger, with Shirahoshi and her brothers kept away because of the assassin and Vander Decken's threat. Page 11: Prince Fukaboshi addresses the funeral through the monitor. He says his mother told him they could still reach the light of the sun, but their scars may run too deep to heal before the next Reverie, only two years away. Another Reverie will come in six years, and another in ten. Fukaboshi speaks not as a child giving up, but as an heir accepting the long burden Otohime left behind. The people listen as he begins turning grief into a promise rather than revenge.
