## One Piece Chapter 623, pages 8-10: Pirate Fisher Tiger - Chapter: 623 - Pages: 8-10 - Characters: Koala, Fisher Tiger, Jinbe, Arlong, Strawberry ### Summary 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. Page 9: The trap springs immediately. A Marine officer steps forward and declares, "My name is Rear Admiral Strawberry, of Marine HQ!!!" He explains, "We received word from the residents of a certain island ...that you would be visiting this place!!" The villagers Koala trusted have agreed to overlook the possession of a girl who rightfully belongs to the Tenryuubito in exchange for allowing the Marines to cause only a slight disturbance. Strawberry tells Tiger, "As you should be well aware ...you are guilty of two crimes. Your raid... ...and your flight." Koala's homecoming has been used as bait, and the island that should have ended her nightmare has delivered Fisher Tiger into Marine hands. Page 10: Tiger refuses to fall even under concentrated fire. Marines shout, "What's with this guy?! He just won't go down!!!" and "Don't let your guard down... This is the man who successfully raided Mariejoa all on his own!!" He keeps cutting through the ambush with terrible strength. Then the Sun Pirates arrive, and the Marines recognize them in alarm: "Boss T?!!" "Rear Admiral!!" "It's the Sun Pirates!!!" Someone asks, "Where the heck is all this strength coming from?!!" The rescue begins in chaos, but Tiger has already taken the wounds that will decide his fate.
