## One Piece Chapter 623, pages 7-8: Pirate Fisher Tiger - Chapter: 623 - Pages: 7-8 - Characters: Koala, Jinbe, Arlong, Otohime, Fisher Tiger ### Summary Page 7: Koala runs toward the village, then keeps turning back to wave. Jinbe watches and challenges Arlong's certainty: "Try thinking about it for a second. What good is it going to do if one girl tells the villagers that fishmen are good people? Just like Otohime's pleas, her words will just fall on empty ears!!" Arlong snaps back, "Why, Arlong, you...!!" while someone mutters, "Dammit, Arlong ...!!" Jinbe answers from his own change: "Jimbei... you've changed an awful lot in these past three years." Below, Koala finally cries openly while waving, the tears no longer forced down by fear. Her farewell is small, but it is exactly the kind of fragile hope Otohime believes in. Page 8: The farewell stretches across the cactus-filled road. Koala runs farther from the ship and closer to the village, repeatedly turning back, waving, and crying with a smile. The Sun Pirates watch her go in silence. The absence of dialogue makes the separation heavier: Koala's home is near, but the crew that protected her cannot belong there. Tiger stands behind her like a guardian at the edge of a world that may never welcome him. The page closes the emotional promise of the journey before revealing how cruelly that promise will be repaid.
