Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

The Fishman Islanders may be the most discriminated race in this ocean. They were once treated as fish by humans, and later were insulted and traded. It can be said that they have suffered a lot.

But even so, this race still produced two people who can be called "heroes" or "pioneers."

Inside Ryugu Castle, Neptune and Jinbe also told everyone the stories about Princess Otohime and Fisher Tiger respectively.

-

Princess Otohime possesses a special innate awakened observation Haki, which allows her to hear the inner voices of others and give speeches using this ability.

14 years ago, in an era when fish-men and mermen still had no status, Princess Otohime began to give speeches, hoping to get signatures from the residents of Fish-Man Island so that she could propose that mermaids and fish-men be able to live on the sea when she attends the World Conference later.

But at that time, even Jinbe did not understand what Princess Otohime did.

8 years ago, the Celestial Dragon Donquixote Musgard Saint was stranded on Fishman Island. When he was about to be shot by the angry fishmen, Princess Otohime used her already weak body to block the bullet.

And decided to follow the Tianlong people on a voyage for a week.

In the end, Princess Otohime moved the Celestial Dragon and brought back signatures from the world's nobles agreeing to friendly relations between the fish-men and humans, thus moving the residents of Fish-Man Island.

Everything is going in the right direction.

But Hodie Jones, who had hated humans since childhood, planned an assassination when the signature collection was about to be completed.

Ignoring Jinbe's obstruction, he announced to the public that it was humans who shot and killed Princess Otohime, once again stirring up the anger of Fishman Island against humans.

This truth has been buried until now.

-

Fisher Tiger was born in the chaotic Fishman Street and possesses powerful strength.

Jinbei and Arlong were also his younger brothers at the time.

Afterwards, Tiger went out to sea as an adventurer. Not long after his last journey began, he was captured in Marijoa and became a slave of the Celestial Dragons. He witnessed the madness and cruelty of humans.

After three years of being a slave, Fisher Tiger escaped and returned to Ryugu Castle, telling Neptune and Princess Otohime about his desire to save the slaves.

It is worth mentioning that Princess Otohime, who advocates peaceful coexistence with humans, was unable to say anything to stop Tiger because she heard the huge cry coming from his heart.

Eleven years ago, Fisher Tiger climbed up to the Red Earth Continent with his bare hands, causing arson in Marijoa and the rescue of thousands of slaves.

Tiger, who had tortured humans for three years, chose to treat everyone equally and rescued slaves of all races.

As a result, he became the leader of the slave liberation movement, the hero of Fishman Island, and a criminal who dared to challenge the majesty of the World Government.

After Tiger was wanted, Jinbe, Arlong and other fish-men chose to leave Fish-man Island and follow him, thus the first generation of Fish-man Pirates - the Sun Pirates were established.

In order to make the rescued fish-man slaves forget their past experiences, all the crew members of the Fish-Man Pirates had the mark of the sun branded on their bodies. During the subsequent voyages, they fought against the navy that was chasing them and the pirates who wanted to become famous.

The Sun Pirates were given only one rule by Tiger: "Don't hurt humans without reason, including those who are at war with them."

Tiger believes that the meaning of the Sun Pirates is "liberation" and "freedom" and they will not kill anyone.

8 years ago, in order to send the slave girl Kerla back to her hometown, the Sun Pirates caused Tiger to be surrounded by the navy and seriously injured.

Before his death, Tiger told everyone the truth that he had once been a slave. He cried and said, "I can no longer love humans." He then refused to use human blood to heal himself and died.

-

"Two people who have worked hard for Fishman Island in their own ways said the same thing before they passed away."

Jinbei spoke slowly: "Don't let hatred be passed on to the next generation. Those children who are still blank slates should not live in hatred."

As soon as the words fell, the banquet hall, which should have been bustling with activity, fell into complete silence.

Even Nami, who had been ruled by Arlong for so long, felt genuinely sad about the fate of Fishman Island, Princess Otohime, and Tiger.

In other words, it is precisely because Nami is just like them, understanding hatred but still able to see the world clearly, that she can better understand what they are going through in their hearts.

The same goes for Robin. As a former O'Hara student, she knows too well the feeling of suddenly becoming the enemy of the world.

Zoro drank silently with an expressionless face, but one hand couldn't help but touch the knife at his waist.

He remembered what he had said to the blind swordsman, and his determination became even stronger.

In troubled times, we should cut through the dust!

Sanji smoked a cigarette silently. He thought of old man Zeff. The purpose of opening a restaurant on the sea was to make sure that no one on the sea would go hungry again.

Now, he also has the idea of ​​"making sure that no one on the ocean is discriminated against anymore."

Usopp, Merry, and Chopper were already in tears, wailing over the fate of the two.

Franky and Brook stopped playing tricks.

Even Bai Ye, who had already read the original novel, was speechless at this moment.

After experiencing this world personally and understanding the truth of this world more deeply.

Bai Ye also had a better understanding of the two of them.

Perhaps Bai Ye before would have thought that in a world like One Piece, Princess Otohime and Tiger were complete saints.

He talks about great ideals all the time, without any consideration of reality.

But looking back at the two of them now, Bai Ye can only say admiration.

Perhaps their ideals were unrealistic in that era, or even a little too idealistic and utopian.

But in every troubled time, aren't it those people with unrealistic ideals and utopias who use their lives to change the world?

Bai Ye's country in his previous life had a history of humiliation. Even if one could open his third eye and go back to that era, no one would be 100% sure that Bai Ye's country would win.

But at that time, there was a group of people who were steadfast and willing to fight at the cost of their lives.

They are not doing it for themselves, but for the next generation, or even not their next generation.

[If the sun never rises, live in the dark. If making a sound is dangerous, keep silent. If you feel you are powerless to shine, hide in a corner. But don’t get used to the darkness and defend it, don’t be proud of your own cowardice. Don’t ridicule those who are braver than you.]

At least in Bai Ye's opinion, Princess Otohime and Fisher Tiger are the brave people in these words.

"I...maybe I can do more in this world."

Just as Bai Ye figured out this point and muttered to himself.

Zoro, Jinbe, Sanji and others looked in his direction at the same time.

They, who had a high level of Observation Haki, could sense that some inexplicable changes had taken place in Bai Ye at this moment.

If the Bai Ye before was like a gentle gentleman like jade, then at this moment, Bai Ye was like a sword that had been sharpened into an extremely sharp blade.

In a nutshell, Bai Ye's state of mind broke through.
