## One Piece Chapter 623, pages 4-5: Pirate Fisher Tiger - Chapter: 623 - Pages: 4-5 - Characters: Jinbe, Koala, Otohime, Arlong, Fisher Tiger, Aladdin, Hatchan ### Summary Page 4: Jinbe gives a different answer to Arlong's hatred. "Certainly, some humans look at us with scorn. But others... I see something different in their eyes." He says, "It always seems to me... ...as though they are afraid of us." Koala asks, "Is it because we are pirates...? What is there to be so afraid of...?" and then reaches the idea Otohime has been preaching: "That's because... ...they don't know anything about you..." The thought echoes Otohime's words that Fishman Island still knows next to nothing about humanity as a whole, and reframes fear as ignorance. Koala then plays a simple guessing game on deck, pointing and saying, "There!!" while the others correct her, "Wrong! It's over here!" The page shows understanding being built through small, ordinary contact. Page 5: Koala spends more time aboard the Sun Pirates' ship, and the story lets the change happen quietly. She walks with the crew through towns, watches fishmen and merfolk in ordinary life, sees them eat, shop, laugh, and argue, and shares space with people she was once taught to fear. No major speech drives the page; the panels show lived experience doing what speeches cannot. Koala's smile is still present, but it now belongs to days filled with food, movement, games, and shared travel rather than panic and forced labor. The crew becomes less like monsters in her eyes and more like people.
