## One Piece Chapter 652, pages 1-2: Grim Premonitions - Chapter: 652 - Pages: 1-2 - Characters: Neptune, Jinbe, Sun Pirates, Big Mom, Aladine, Fisher Tiger, Whitebeard, Monkey D. Luffy, Fishman Island ### Summary Page 1: Inside Ryugu Palace, Neptune asks Jinbe directly about the Sun Pirates: "So let me ask you, Jinbe... How are the Sun Pirates getting on... as part of Big Mom's fleet?" Neptune admits he would never have expected a man of Jinbe's calibre to serve under another master after Fisher Tiger. Jinbe explains that Aladine remains the most reasonable person to work with and lets the crew keep their freedoms. He has no grand aspiration toward absolute leadership; in the New World, affiliating oneself with one of the Four Emperors is simply the most sensible way to ensure one's comrades' safety. Neptune says that, thanks to Jinbe's connection, the island could obtain protection under Big Mom's name and remain safe even after Whitebeard's death. Page 2: Jinbe calls Big Mom's protection "a coincidence, nothing more," and says he would prefer to remain with his crew and protect the island themselves, but with bounties on their heads that is impractical. Then he reveals his intention: "However, Your Majesty... I am now planning to leave that protection behind...!!" Neptune immediately understands the implication and asks whether Jinbe means to accept Luffy's invitation. It is tempting, but Neptune warns that his world is one of duty and honour, where some bonds are not written contracts but spoken vows and shared cups. Severing such a bond is not always simple, and Neptune cannot deny that doing so may turn Big Mom's wrath against Fishman Island.
