## One Piece Chapter 617, pages 1-2: Major Incident on Coral Hill - Chapter: 617 - Pages: 1-2 - Characters: Vander Decken IX, Neptune, Princess Shirahoshi, Hody Jones, Nami, Jimbei, Arlong, Usopp, Roronoa Zoro ### Summary Page 1: At Ryugu Palace, Vander Decken IX launches himself after the coral that tracks Shirahoshi. He screams, "Vander Decken has gone after my beloved Shirahoshi!!" while Neptune, bound and desperate, begs his men, "I beg of you all!! I will give you anything you desire!!! Just let me go after Decken!!!" He promises, "I will give you gold, silver, treasures, even the lives of my soldiers!!!" but a guard can only say, "Y - hold on a moment, your majesty!!!!!" Neptune sees Decken flying away and cries, "He is going to take Shirahoshi from me!!! Shirahoshi is my one greatest treasure!!!" Hody Jones watches with contempt and says, "What a pathetic sight you are, Neptune...!!!" The page holds the king at his lowest point: stripped of authority, tied up in front of enemies, and reduced to begging for any chance to protect his daughter. Page 2: Hody recognizes the convenience of the chaos and gives credit to the Straw Hats: "To think that my sworn enemies, the Straw Hat Pirates, would aid in my conquering of the Ryuuguu Palace...!!" Nami studies him and notices the mark on his body: "...?! He bears... Arlong's mark..." Neptune, still chained, remembers Jimbei's warning: "...Nghh... I had heard from Jimbei that there was something afoot in the Fishman District... But I never expected you, former members of Neptune's own army, to be behind it...!! Have you no shame, Hordy?!!" Hody laughs at the idea of shame. He says Neptune assumes he served with pride, but the only reason he joined the army was "to hone the skills I would need on the field of battle." Hody declares, "And it worked. I have become strong!!!" Nami, Usopp, Zoro, and the others realize this is not simply a random uprising but a rebellion rooted in Arlong's ideology and in Neptune's own ranks.
