"One Piece" Events:
—————————
"At the age of twelve, the three of us were abducted from the Kuja Pirate Ship and sold." Hancock began narrating her painful past.
"After that..." "…!! I don't even want to think about the abominable things they did…!!!"
In the background of the story, a dark-featured celestial dragon can be seen holding an iron with a dragon hoof mark and placing it on her fair back. The wicked smile on his face was incredibly terrifying.
"The first man I ever saw was nothing but a ball of terror."
After hearing her sister recount their painful memories, Sonia couldn't control herself and started screaming. "Uuu… Waah!!! AAAAAAH!!!"
"Sister Sonia!!! Calm down!" Mari tried to soothe her.
"Hey!! It's fine, don't force yourself! You don't have to talk about it!!!" Seeing this, Luffy felt uneasy.
"Now that I've started, I can't stop… It was terrible… we couldn't find any hope at all… I just wanted to die…!!!" Hancock continued, her eyes glazed.
"Whoa, come on!!" Luffy was shocked.
"But after four years, in one night… An incident occurred that shook the world government itself. The iron law of the world was that nobody could oppose the Tenryuubito." "Yet one man climbed the red line with his bare hands and entered Marijoa, where the Tenryuubito resided."
In the background, a red-skinned Fishman with a fierce expression appeared, saying these words to Hancock and her sisters: "Run!! Don't get caught again!"
"That man… Would later lead a crew of Fishman Pirates. The adventurer, Fisher Tiger." "In order to free the many Fishman slaves who were being oppressed in the city…"
"He rampaged through the city with all his strength… and even though he, a Fishman, hated humans… he did not discriminate… He freed thousands of slaves, of all races."
In the background, 16-year-old Hancock and her sisters were seen running away from the burning Marijoa behind them.
"We ran, prepared to die…!! We owe that man an unfathomable debt…!!!"
•———•———•———•———•———•
"Thus, I understand."
Shakuyaki closed her eyes calmly, pondering something strange. How were Hancock, Sonia, and Mari strangely neglected from the Kuja ship?
'Maybe they weren't neglected but rather sold by the Empress, who was also the captain of the Kuja at that time.'
'… Certainly, Gloriosa and Kikyu weren't either… Well, an unknown Empress.'
Shakky stopped thinking about this matter and looked at the rest of the store goddesses who were deeply moved by the fate of the three sisters.
The same goes for the Amazons who were cursing the Celestial Dragons angrily in the "Global Forum."
Shakky refocused on the events of the chapter; there was still something significant that caught her interest. 'Fisher Tiger… This man, I know him…'
"It's him!! He did it!?!" Bell-mère's tearful eyes widened when she saw Fisher Tiger in the background.
"This man… He's that powerful young Fishman…" Even Olvia couldn't help but feel shocked after experiencing despair and sorrow for the fate of her three children.
"Tiger!" exclaimed Otohime, even more astonished than the others.
After all, she was the most aware of Tiger! This man was formerly the famous captain of King Neptune's Royal Guard, but due to a dispute with the royal family, he stepped down and began living in Fish-Man District, where he cared for orphans.
Despite the fear the citizens of the Ryugu Kingdom had for him and describing him as a traitor, Otohime wasn't afraid of him at all. She knew that his fierce appearance was entirely different from his kind essence… How could a man who took care of homeless children be evil?
"What a great man! He climbed the Red Line with his bare hands and saved thousands of slaves from the most dangerous place in the world! This is truly unbelievable!" Shakky couldn't keep her composure anymore.
After all, what Fisher Tiger did—or more precisely, what Fisher Tiger did in the manga—shocked the entire world!
...
Fish-Man Island:
Ten thousand meters below the sea surface, every Fishman shouted the name Fisher Tiger repeatedly.
The readers' excitement reached record levels… Only the Fishmen themselves could describe their current feelings… It was a mixture of pride, honor, and a strong desire to cry due to overwhelming emotions.
What was depicted in the manga not only represented Fisher Tiger but all the Fishmen!
Like Fisher Tiger, that buried desire deep within each of them, who lacked the ability and sufficient sadness to act.
Finally, in One Piece manga, as a hero, emerged from them and did that thing they always wanted to do and could never do for one reason or another.
On his way to the art store, the strong young Fisher Tiger could hear cheers for a certain name, sounding somewhat familiar.
When he got close enough, he heard it… 'Isn't this my name? Why are they cheering for my name?'
Confusion deepened on Tiger's face, especially when Jinbe came out, having received news of his arrival, to greet him with a big smile.
"Elder Brother Tiger… You must not have finished reading the later chapters yet, right?" Jinbe looked at Tiger's hand holding the closed volume.
"Yes." Fisher Tiger nodded in surprise.
"That's why you seem confused… Well, congratulations, Elder Brother, on your first appearance in One Piece manga… Your heroic and splendid appearance!" Jinbe said with extreme enthusiasm.
"My appearance in the manga—me?" Tiger's eyes widened as he quickly opened the volume.
...
..
After reading the entire volume, mixed feelings appeared in Tiger's eyes.
Suddenly, he remembered that day and the words—without explanation—that the human, Rob, said to him.
"Why are you doing this? He's just a child, despite his intense hatred for humans, there's justification for it, can't you see that too?"
This was Tiger's question to Rob about the Arlong arc, which deeply dug into the rift between humans and Fishmen at that time.
"Don't worry, Tiger. One day, you will be the one to fill the pit and correct the mistakes of the youngsters… What you will do in the future, your character, your efforts, and your entire presence will be like the healing medicine for your race. You will become the greatest in the hearts of all slaves, only the Sun God will be above you."
These were the words Rob replied with to Tiger's frustration at that time, years ago.
Now, Tiger understood them only now, although he didn't fully understand all of them yet.
'Do I deserve this honor…?' Fisher Tiger silently wondered.
