LeftMinister: Oh, what a catastrophe......!! / To think that we have abandoned the King alone in his own palace!!
RightMinister: This is no time for whining! We did as His Majesty ordered!! // Now, we need a means of communication!! / We must get in contact with the Princes without delay... // ...and return to the Palace with a fighting force!!!
Soldier: Yes, sir!! / The nearest town is Gyovalley Hills!
[Box: Fishman Island's Elite Residential District: Gyovalley Hills]
Ikaros: You will do as I say!!! Muhhi!!!
People: Aaarghhhhh!!

Someone: Stop - stop, everyone!! Now - you are from the Fishman District, are you not?! // Why are you doing this?!!
Ikaros: Muhhi!! Be quiet!!! This country belongs to Captain Hordy now!!! // So shut up and get trampling!!!
[Box: Northwestern Fishman Island: Sweet Factory Town]
People: Stop, please!!
Pirates: Shut up and do it!!
People: I can't! I could never trample on this face......!!! / Anything but that...!!
Daruma: ......!! // Anyone who refuses to trample on the face is a friend of humans!!! // Kyakkyah!!! That makes you our enemy!!!

Hyouzou: It's not hard. / Either you trample on the face, / or you leave the island......!! So hurry it up...... // If you don't like either choice, I'm allowed to slice you up instead. / Whiiii~~!
People: No way......!!
[Box: Western Fishman Island: The Marine Shopping Mall]
People: You're telling us to leave the country?!! / There's nowhere else on the sea floor where the sun shines...... // And you can't expect us to live amongst the humans...!!
Zeo: You see...? That just proves you understand that humans are brutish and vile!!!
Human: !!
Zeo: Humans and fishmen can never truly live in harmony!! // So bow down to your new King Hordy!! The man who will conquer the humans and change the course of history!!!

People: Fukaboshi-sama~~~~~~~~~~!! // Your Highness~~~~!!!
Dosun: ...............!! // Unghh...
Someone: Dosun-san!!
Dosun: Nghhh...
Fukaboshi: What is the meaning of this villainy......?!!! // To think that you fiends would stoop... // ...to making the people of this country trample upon images of my late mother!!!

7
[Box: Southeastern Fishman Island: Coral Hill]
People: We failed to capture Vander Decken... // ...and Shirahoshi was kidnapped by the Straw Hats right before our eyes.........!! // The Princess did say she'd be back "in time for dinner"... // Obviously the pirates made her say that!! // If those pirates sell the Princess to the Tenryuubito, why, I'll...! // He~~~y!! Word is that those Fishman District thugs are causing trouble in towns all across the island!! // What's happened to the Palace?! What's going on on this island?!!!
Caribou: (..................) // Kehihihihi~~~~~~!! Well, look what I just saw~~~~~~~~!! That was one biiiiiiiig mermaid all right~~~~~~~~!! // An ordinary human-size mermaid goes for 70,000,000... and that Mermaid princess was about 7.8 times that size...! / If I were to capture and sell her......!! Mmmmmhhhhh~~!! I'm getting terrified just thinking about that kind of cash!!

[Box: The Ocean Forest]
Shirahoshi: Waaaaaahhhhh~~!! Father~~~~~~!!
Jimbei: Do not worry, Your Highness. Those fiends are in no position to harm His Majesty just yet!!
Shirahoshi: Eh...? / ...R...Really...?
Jimbei: Indeed. Now, I must speak with Luffy-kun and his companions for a short while. / But I swear to you, I will rescue His Majesty myself!!
Shirahoshi: ......Thank you... Thank you so much, Boss Jimbei-sama.........
Sanji: LLLLLLLADIIIIIIIES~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!♡ // Your tea. ♡
Nami: Thanks. Just leave it over there for me, would you? And for the record, I'm trying to have a serious conversation... / ...so stop ruining the mood.
Sanji: Mmmm, I love it when you get all stern~~~~!!
Nami: So, Jimbei-san... what do you mean when you say that you... // ...unleashed Arlong upon East Blue...?

9
Hachi: Nyuuuuu... Jimbei-san......
Jimbei: Quite...
Sanji: I've heard the same thing!!
Nami: Huh...?
Sanji: Quite some time ago... Back when Luffy and I first heard the name "Jimbei". / I remember what Yosaku said back then.........
Flashback!Yosaku: In return for his status as Shichibukai... // ...that Jimbei unleashed a monstrous terror upon East Blue!! // Of course, I'm sure Luffy's forgotten all about it.
Luffy: Hmmm... Did he say that...? I wonder how Yosaku's doing now~!
Sanji: When I saw you and Jimbei together in that newspaper two years ago... / I gotta admit, I didn't know what to think. / After all, up until then, I'd been thinking of Jimbei as something like the "man behind Arlong"! // So, Jimbei... I'm ready to listen to your excuses... / But you'd better choose your words carefully.........!! // I'll have you know that our lovely navigator Nami-san here was a resident of the island Arlong took control of.
Jimbei: !!
Sanji: She's suffered more than anyone thanks to Arlong's reign of terror...!!

10
Sanji: So depending on what you say next... // I may not be able to forgive you!!!
Hachi: It's true, Jimbei-san... The pain we caused to that girl is something we can never atone for...
Jimbei: .........
Hachi: As long as we live......
Nami: ..................
Flashback!Bellemere: A map of the world, huh...? That I can't wait to see! // I guess that makes this map of the island the first step towards your dream!!
Flashback!Arlong: It's a pleasure to meet you all, filthy humans!!! / From this day onwards, this island belongs to us!!!
Flashback!Nami: Bellemere-san!!! You can't die!!!
Flashback!Arlong: Die for your worthless love.

11
Flashback!Nami: BELLEMERE-SAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!
Flashback!Fishman: We ain't got no food for a filthy human brat like you!!! Gyahahah!! // So shut up and keep drawing those maps!!
Flashback!Nami: ...............!!
Flashback!People: A thief~~~~!!! That ruffian just stole our treasure!!!
Flashback!Nami: *pant* // *pant*
Flashback!People: It's a brat!!! // Like I care!! Shoot to kill~~~~!!! // Take the brat's life~~~~!!!
Flashback!Nami: (Seven... / ...million to go...............!!)
Flashback!Arlong: Oh, look...... You're back already......! / .........Not that you have a choice... // Welcome home... our cartographer. // Shahahahahahah......
Nami: ...............!!

12
Jimbei: .................. / That must have been very difficult for you.
Sanji: Don't talk like it's got nothing to do with you!!!
Nami: .................. // That's right. No matter what happens, I have no intention of feeling any compassion towards Arlong. // However... // Until I arrived at the Shabondy Archipelago two years ago... / I had no idea that a race as powerful as the fishmen had suffered persecution at the hands of humans. // But when we were pursuing those slave traders who had captured Caimie...... I saw something that made me doubt my own eyes. // It hit me as soon as I set foot in Shabondy Park.
Flashback!Nami: !!
Nami: It was the spitting image... / ...of the "Arlong Park" that they had constructed on our island!!
People: !!

13
Hachi: .................. // ...Nyuuuu... We all idolised that place... / I'm not saying this to earn your forgiveness, Nami...!! / Arlong-san hated humans bitterly, resented them above all else... / And what we did was truly wrong...... But still... // Even Arlong felt that same longing, ever since he was a child, to be part of that world. // Up until two hundred years ago, fishmen and merfolk were officially considered types of "fish"...... / Then, two hundred years ago, the Ryuuguu Kingdom became a part of the World Government... / The King was granted a place on the Reverie world council, and we took the first steps towards peace with humanity... // But the humans never stopped hating us.
Den: .........
Hachi: The most horrible period that I can remember in my lifetime... / ...was the beginning of the Great Pirate Age......!! // The terror caused by the human pirates running rampant on this island... / ...stays with me even to this day.........!!

14
Jimbei: The man who freed our kind from that terror......... / ...was none other than the late Whitebeard......!!!
Flashback!Whitebeard: From now on... // ...this island is my territory!!!
Jimbei: And so peace returned to our island. // But the hatred that the humans felt towards our kind lived on......!! / You all must have witnessed the truth for yourselves on the Shabondy Archipelago.
Hachi: Nyuuuu.........
Jimbei: It is a sad truth that the greater the authority a person possesses, the more he tends to fear change. // And so it was that the closer one looked to the central spheres of government, who held sway over human-fishman relations... / ...the deeper-set were the discriminatory prejudices that could be found among them...!! // It was in the midst of this seemingly hopeless situation that two individuals rose up, and made their valiant attempts... / ...to change the course of history...

15
Jimbei: One... / ...was Queen Otohime. // She preached at length to her subjects of the importance of living in harmony with humans. / As you know, she was Princess Shirahoshi's mother. // And the other individual... / ...was Fisher Tiger, the Hero of Slaves. // He, for his part, resolved that fishmen and humans should go their separate ways. And so, breaking a great taboo... / ...he mounted a lone assault upon the Holy Land of Mariejoa, freeing the slaves held captive there...!!
Luffy: .................. / Thingy Tiger......? / I've heard that name somewhere...
Jimbei: Following this great feat, he gathered the former fishman slaves... / ...and formed a group known as the "Sun Pirates"...!!!

16
Jimbei: Both I and Arlong, as well as Hachi... // ...were once members of that pirate crew...!! // However, the existence of this dangerous band of fishman pirates, who had to flagrantly defied the World Government...... // ...also had the unfortunate effect of sealing the fate of Queen Otohime, and her dream of harmony between races...... // Queen Otohime chose to endure the suffering of the present, in hope of building a better future... / Whilst Fisher Tiger abandoned such hopes for the future, in favour of saving those who were suffering there and then... // I cannot say which of their ideals was the greater. / All I can say, is this...
Flashback!Someone: Enemy vessel sighted~~~!

[Box: Fifteen years ago; The Grand Line]
Hachi: Boss~~~~~!! // Boss~~~~!! / It's an enemy ship~~~~!! Nyuuu~~!! // Boss!! Boss!! Boss!!!
Arlong: Quit your yapping, Hachi......
Tiger: You are a noisy one...
[Banner: The Sun Pirates / (Captain's Cabin)]
Hachi: Boss Tiger!!! It's terrible~~~~~~~~!!!
Tiger: Is it the Marines?
