## One Piece Chapter 623, pages 15-16: Pirate Fisher Tiger - Chapter: 623 - Pages: 15-16 - Characters: Fisher Tiger, Otohime, Jinbe, Arlong, Koala ### Summary Page 15: Tiger confesses the deepest contradiction inside him: "I was... ...a slave!!!" The crew is shocked as he continues, "What I witnessed there... ...was the madness of humans... I managed to escape with my life... but I could not abandon the other slaves I had witnessed all around me..." He says that he has lived according to his own selfish wishes and that this caused great trouble for Otohime's designs. Yet even here, he recognizes her path: "But Otohime... is right! Peace for everyone - that is what we should all strive for!!" Tiger saved others because he could not leave them behind, but he admits that his own wounds have never healed. Page 16: Tiger begs the crew not to pass the tragedy forward. "That's why I beg of you!! Don't tell anything of this to the people of Fishman Island!! Of the tragedy that has befallen us!! Or our rage towards the humans!!" He looks at Koala's memory and says, "But... we're not the ones... who can really change things for our people... It's only the next generation... children like Koala, who still know nothing... that can do that...!!!" He understands the truth, but his body and heart cannot follow it: "There are countless kind-hearted humans out there in this world!! I understand that!! And yet... as we die and vanish from this world...!! We leave nothing behind us but resentment and hatred!!! My mind can see the truth, but the demon in my heart stands firm!! My body... refuses to accept their blood!!! It's too late for me...!! I can't ...love the humans anymore ...!!!"
