## One Piece Chapter 909, pages 4-5: Seppuku - Chapter: 909 - Pages: 4-5 - Characters: Marco, Tama, Nekomamushi, Edward Newgate ### Summary Page 4: Marco finishes treating a large beast and explains that the patient should be all right now, but warns not to push it: "My flame of restoration can't bring about huge changes in other beings." The villagers cheer over Marco's magic, but he corrects them that he has only treated the injury and raised the healing speed a little. The patient should be able to fly around by tomorrow, though Tama is told sharply, "I said tomorrow! Don't fly right now!" Marco is introduced as former Whitebeard Pirates First Squad Captain and ship's doctor. Around him, villagers immediately bring more complaints: bad backs, old knees, and a little brother who keeps bullying someone. Marco smiles and waves, but the page shows he is not living in retirement so much as constant service. Page 5: Marco tells Nekomamushi that the village was built by Pops, Whitebeard himself. The country had been too poor to pay the Celestial Offering, so the World Government refused to let it join the alliance. Like most unaffiliated countries, it fell into lawlessness, with pirates and kidnappers running amok and wretched orphans filling the streets. Whitebeard's own family had already died, but this island was his homeland. Even after he went to sea and became a pirate, he worried about it for his whole life, secretly sending "dirty" money and supplies while hiding his identity and status. The page reframes Whitebeard's treasure not as hoarded wealth, but as a lifetime of support quietly sent home.
