Marigoa, Pangaea Castle:
"How can this be!?"
The Gorosei Warcury's mustache trembled after reading the shocking backstory of Hancock. He could only stare at his comrades in bewilderment.
"So, Boa Hancock and her sisters were slaves in Marigoa? What a shocking revelation! Cough!"
The same went for the Gorosei Mars, who coughed on his coffee in sheer shock.
"Tsk... mere slaves daring to act with such audacity..."
The Gorosei Ju Peter felt a pleasant satisfaction upon learning about Hancock's background; mockery was all he could muster.
"What's the deal with this Fishman...?! How can this be-"
Before Saint Saturn could finish his sentence, his eyes widened in shock as he discovered what Fisher Tiger had done.
"Unacceptable!" 'Pa!'
At that moment, Saint Ethanbaron slammed the table in anger. After all, seeing Marigoa ablaze and engulfed in chaos was nothing short of a desecration by Rob.
"We warned him at the time not to touch the dignity of the World Government, but apparently, he didn't heed our words, did he!?"
"And who is this damned Fisher Tiger! How in hell did a mere fish manage to cause all this chaos in Marigoa? Even if he surpassed all Cipher Pol agents from CP9 to CP1, he surely couldn't surpass CP0!"
"Even if he could miraculously do that, he wouldn't be able to do as he pleased under the noses of the Holy Knights! Is it reasonable that they were on a mission?"
"Well, if we assume that's true, what about us Gorosei? It's impossible for a mere Fishman to cause chaos under our noses and Lord Imu-sama's! It's illogical nonsense!"
The five Gorosei were completely perplexed by the fact that a one Fishman like Fisher Tiger could cause chaos in Marigoa, liberating thousands of slaves and escaping unscathed.
"Fufu, interesting... Was the fellow in that universe asleep or something?"
At that moment, Imu's voice echoed as she strolled into the castle, referring to her counterpart in the manga.
"Welcome back, Imu-sama!"
The five Gorosei stood and greeted their lord with respect.
"You may sit... I hear a commotion outside. What is happening?" she asked.
Upon hearing their lord's question, Saint Saturn nervously replied, recalling what had happened moments ago.
"A member of the Maniard family had a heart attack inside the art store... He died immediately after declaring his intentions to enslave Hancock... the 'Sky Sword's' adopted daughter."
"Fufu~ foolish puppet." Imu's response was indifferent.
...
Ohara:
"Fisher Tiger... what a great man!"
"I want to meet this man with a kind spirit."
"I also want to meet him... He is one of the heroes of the past in the manga; surely, the manga will highlight his heroism someday in the Fish-Man Island arc!" Homing was certain of that.
Seeing how a 'hero' from the Fishman race and a 'villain' like mere humans, claiming to be descendants of the creators, were portrayed, Homing felt a profound narrative wisdom in this, so he expected Fisher Tiger to be a significant character in the mentioned Fish-Man Island arc.
"The brave adventurer Fisher Tiger has not started his adventures yet, so we can find him on Fish-Man Island, right?" Saul suggested.
"Good idea. I've always wanted to visit Fish-Man Island after it was linked to the miraculous Sky Port, but I haven't found the right time yet... It seems the time has come!" Professor Clover cheered.
"So, this is why the Sun Pirates were founded? The sun... hmm, the sun is the most fitting title for pirates formed from the remnants of slaves!" Vegapunk felt excited after recalling a certain legendary figure.

"One Piece" Events:
—————————
"Tiger freed many Fishmen, who escaped to sea. But the slaves' brands could not be erased..." Hancock continued speaking.
"Tiger, who had made an enemy of the world government, formed the Sun Pirates with those former slaves, and they set out to sea...!!" she added.
In the background, a Fishman slave appeared with a dragon hoof mark, which had a second mark burned onto it, representing the sun!
"And, as if he was lifting a curse... the Tenryuubito's mark that had been burned onto everyone's bodies... Was changed into the symbol of the sun!!!"
"The mark you mistook for ours was the sun symbol of the Fishman Pirates," she announced.
"Ah, I get it! The mark on Hatchi's forehead looked like the sun!!" Luffy remembered the mark on Hatchi's forehead and connected it to Hancock's story.
"So was he a slave, too...!!?" he asked.
"We can't say that for certain. They were given those symbols so that you couldn't tell the difference between those who had been slaves and those who weren't. Though he was definitely a member of the Sun Pirates..." Marigold explained everything to Luffy.
"By the way, Fisher Tiger is dead now. The Fishman Pirates have split into a number of pirate crews..." Elder Nyon stated clearly.
"Hatchi's been through a lot..." Luffy decided after hearing all of that.
•———•———•———•———•———•
Back to Fish-Man Island:
"So, he's dead... that's expected. The world government won't tolerate such a thing... they won't rest until they kill you."
Fisher Tiger's expression didn't change upon discovering his counterpart's death in the manga.
That was expected in his eyes.
"Well, you've given meaning to your life and died as a true man. I look forward to seeing how you lived from here on and how you died as well... Sniff!"
"I look forward... truly...!"
Fisher Tiger wiped his tears, but they refused to stop; every time he wiped them, they only increased in intensity.
"Here, sir,"
Fisher Tiger opened his blurry eyes and found three little girls approaching him. A small, beautiful girl offered him a white towel with a gentle smile on her face.
"My father said you're a great hero..."
"...?"
