The cover story continues "From Shipdeck Around The World Vol 10: Cocoyashi Village - Yosaku and Johnny's Brotherly Boat." Yosaku and Johnny stand on their brotherly boat with a huge fish and fluttering flags, turning the extra page into a lighthearted stop far away from Fish-Man Island before the chapter returns to the heavier history of Otohime, Fisher Tiger, Jinbe, and the Sun Pirates. Page 1: At the Marine G-2 base, the narration closes in on the aftermath of Fisher Tiger's death: "Following the death of Fisher Tiger, hero of slaves..." Arlong's hatred for humans grew still stronger, and he turned upon them viciously, only to be captured. While Jinbe sits in silence, Arlong cannot accept the official story. He rages that if they had only had fishman blood, Fisher Tiger would not have died, then spits the blame outward: "You filthy humans... ...drove him to his death!!!!" The scene fixes Arlong's fury as something that hardens from grief into vengeance. Page 2: On the Grand Line, the Sun Pirates' ship sails on while the public explanation says that "due to the humans refusing to offer a blood transfusion," Fisher Tiger, captain of the Sun Pirates, met his end. Yet aboard the ship, Jinbe reads the paper and knows the report is not the full truth. The ultimate blame does lie with humans, but Arlong must have lied to the Marines. It was humans who betrayed Tiger and deepened his grudge enough for him to refuse the transfusion; his past as a slave makes the truth crueller still. Jinbe chooses silence, because Arlong would not reveal such things and because exposing Tiger's past would cast a stain upon his honour. Page 3: Even with their leader gone, Jinbe understands that the Sun Pirates can no longer turn back from the path ahead. A lookout cries, "Nyuuhh!!! Captain Jinbe!!! It's an enemy vessel!!!" Jinbe gathers the crew and gives the order that defines his command: "Prepare for battle!!! And remember - we will not take a life!!!" The crew roars back, and the narration marks the change: under their new captain, "Jinbei, Knight of the Sea," the Sun Pirates continued to live out their days of inevitable conflict. Page 4: At Marine HQ, a Marine identifies the true danger as Jinbe: his strength is nothing less than astounding. Meanwhile, in Ryugu Palace on Fish-Man Island, Jinbe writes to Queen Otohime. He tells her that he feels she at least has the right to know the entire truth. Otohime reads about Fisher Tiger's last choice and says she has made her decision. Tiger had no choice but to choose the path he did; the hollow scream she heard in his heart that day now makes sense. Still, she refuses to give in to fear. Page 5: On Fish-Man Island, Queen Otohime stands before the people and declares, "We must live under the rays of the sun!!!" She insists that the day will surely come when fish-men and merfolk can achieve true understanding with humans. But the crowd pushes back: Tiger was a righteous hero who rescued all slaves regardless of race, yet humans left him to die. People ask how they can forgive that, and even supporters hesitate to sign. Back at Ryugu Palace, four-year-old Princess Shirahoshi finds her exhausted mother after another day with not a single signature. Otohime smiles through the strain: "Ah, Shirahoshi... My haven and comfort..." Page 6: Otohime promises the children that she still believes, telling them, "For the sake of your futures...!" Day after day, she throws herself into action: saving survivors from shipwrecks as they shout "Pirates again" and "Let us take you back to the island," teaching the island's children about the world above, explaining that a place with many "trees" is called a forest, and camping out on the streets to gather signatures. Her campaign becomes exhausting daily labor rather than a speech alone, and every act is aimed at making the surface less frightening for the next generation. Page 7: When someone tells Otohime that kind people have offered their signatures, she asks how many have been gathered. The answer is bitterly small. She has been gathering them for over five years and still has only around one hundred sheets; with ten signatures on each sheet, that makes around one thousand supporters, while Fish-Man Island's population is around five million. Otohime lowers her head over the box of papers and admits that if possible she would like to take back around fifty of those sheets. Her aides can only say, "Your Majesty..." as the scale of the request weighs on her. Page 8: Otohime greets children in the street, asking if they want to hear more about the surface. One child carries a piece of paper from home, but the adults around her co...
