"That blood is tainted!! ...It's the blood of those who have scorned us all their lives!!!" he says. "I refuse to be in their debt!! I will not accept their pity...!!! I will never submit... ...to the humans!!!" Then he reveals the secret behind his final voyage: "I didn't want you... to know about this... on my final voyage... Not long after I set out... *pant* ... I was captured!!!" In memory, Neptune asks, "What in the world did you witness on your latest journey...?!!!" Tiger answers, "Humans, your majesty." He admits the truth he hid from his own men: "They took me to Mariejoa... I was there for years...!!!" Page 14: Arlong crawls back toward Foolshout Island, consumed by revenge, but Borsalino is waiting. The island is labeled Koala's homeland, and Borsalino is introduced as "Marine HQ Vice Admiral Borsalino (the future Admiral Kizaru)." He asks, "So you're Arlong, ehh? Now, why ... would you decide ... to come crawling back here?" Arlong answers, "I'm here to slaughter every last one of the humans who sold out Big Bro T!!! I'll go to the island that sent the report, too...!! Fisher Tiger is dead!! Murdered by you and your inferior kind!!!" Borsalino replies, "Ohhhh? Is that right? Dead, is he...? At any rate... I think you need to come along with meee!" 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.
