## One Piece Chapter 624, pages 8-9: Queen Otohime - Chapter: 624 - Pages: 8-9 - Characters: Otohime, Shirahoshi, Fukaboshi, Ryuboshi, Manboshi, Minister of the Left ### Summary 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 confess they have listened to her, yet think the humans are in the wrong. They would appreciate it if she stopped making speeches, because everyone is tired of hearing them. That night, Shirahoshi and the princes welcome their mother home after another tiring day, but Otohime asks her "angels" to leave her alone for a little while. When she is alone, the strain breaks; the queen who never stopped smiling throws her head back and cries. Page 9: Otohime's voice suddenly broadcasts across the entire country. The Left Minister panics, asking whether she has been drinking, while Otohime shouts, "You're all horrible liars!!!" When someone protests that she is not drunk, she continues anyway. She asks why they all choose to live in one tiny place when fish-men can live anywhere in the ocean, out in the wide dark seabed. On the surface, the whole world is bathed in sunlight, the sky is vast and open, and even here they can glimpse sunlight and breathe a little air. The crowd listens as the queen's despair turns into a raw public plea.
