[Insert text: The ship sails onward to Koala's homeland...]
Crew: We finally found it...... // An Eternal Pose to Koala's home.
Hachi: Nyuuu~~~!! Koala!! You're gonna be able to go home!!
Koala: .........
[Box: Koala / (Former Slave)]
Hachi: Ahahah! You look so different.
Koala: I - I don't think this is really...
Hachi: Don't start complaining after we went of the trouble of buying it for you! / And we got you a nice haircut as well! // Trust me, your mother will be delighted.

3
Koala: I - I think I'll clean up!
Hachi: Nyuuuu~~~!! You need to fix that habit of working whenever you're uncomfortable! / This isn't Mariejoa, you know!!
Aladdin: Let her work if she wants to.
[Box: Ship's Doctor of the Sun Pirates / Aladdin / (Brotula Merman, former soldier in the Neptune Army)]
Aladdin: There's no use in rushing her. This kind of trauma doesn't vanish overnight, you know!
Hachi: I see...
Arlong: You tell him, Aladdin...!! I guess you former slaves understand each other pretty good, yeah?
Aladdin: !

4
Arlong: Go on, admit it!! Really, you want to kill the brat here and now, don't ya?!! / She's a human!! No different from those monsters that kept you imprisoned!!!
Aladdin: .........
Tiger: Give it a rest, would you, Arlong......?!!
Arlong: You should be more honest an' all, brat! What did your mother teach you, eh? // Your parents look down on us just like the rest of the humans, right?! Shahahahah! // That's the way of human society!! They fool themselves into believing that their own race is the greatest and most splendid in the world! // And their children learn from their parents to think the same way...!! Unless somebody puts 'em in their place, that ain't ever gonna change!! // Oh, you've all seen it for yourselves in the three years we've been at sea...!! // Those scornful looks the humans give us wherever we go!! / If it weren't for the Boss's orders, I'd've sorted them out pretty fast!

5
Jimbei: Certainly, some humans look at us with scorn. / But others... I see something different in their eyes.
Arlong: !
Jimbei: It always seems to me... // ...as though they are afraid of us. // Is it because we are pirates.........? What is there to be so afraid of.........?
Koala: That's because... // ...they don't know anything about you...
Jimbei: ! // ..................
Flashback!Otohime: We still know next to nothing about humanity as a whole!!
Jimbei: Fear of... the unknown...?! // Will things change if we learn more about one another.........?
Koala: Ah!
Hachi: Where is it now~?
Koala: There!!
Hachi: Wrong! It's over here~!
Jimbei: .........

[Box: A few weeks later... The Grand Line, Foolshout Island]
Tiger: Koala! // Step out onto the shore. / This is your homeland......!! / Which way is your village? I'll take you as far as the entrance.
Macro: Guehhhh~! Don't go, Koala~~! Let's all keep sailing together~~~~~~!! // You're a great kid~~!! Even though you're a human~~~~!!
Kuroobi: Oh, stop crying.
Koala: I'll tell everyone in the village!! / That lots of fishmen are really nice people!!
Crew: Take care of yourself~~!! // Koala~~~~~!!

8
Arlong: By the time she grows up, she'll be just like the rest of 'em.
Jimbei: Why, Arlong, you...!!
Macro: Dammit, Arlong...!!
Arlong: Jimbei... You've changed an awful lot in these past three years. / Try thinking about it for a second. What good is it going to do if one girl tells the villagers that fishmen are good people?! // Just like Otohime's pleas, her words will just fall on empty ears!!

[no text just tearful reunion and parting]

10
Tiger: !!!
Strawberry: My name is Rear Admiral Strawberry, of Marine HQ!!! // We received word from the residents of a certain island... / ...that you would be visiting this place!! // The people of the village you just left, too, have kindly agreed to our causing a slight disturbance here. // In return, that is, for our agreement to overlook their possession of a certain girl who rightfully belongs to the Tenryuubito. // As you should be well aware... // ...you are guilty of two crimes. // Your raid... // ...and your flight.

11
Crew: ?!! // What were those gunshots......?!!! // They came from the direction the Boss headed in!! // Hey - look over there!! Out at sea!!
Chuu: It's the Marines... They have us surrounded!! Chu~♡
Kuroobi: This was a trap!!
Arlong: You see...?! This is how humans work!!!
Crew: ?!!
Jimbi: Everyone, abandon ship!! Retreat to the sea bottom!!!
Crew: Aaaghhhhh~~~~~~~~!!!
Jimbei: Boss Ti is in trouble...!

12
Marines: What's with this guy?!! He just won't go down!!! // Don't let your guard down... This is the man who successfully raided Mariejoa all on his own!!! // Eh...? // !!! // Aaahhhhhhhh~~~!! // Where the heck is all this strength coming from?!!!
Crew: BOSS TI~~~~~~~~!!!
Marines: Rear Admiral!! // It's the Sun Pirates!!!
Strawberry: So that is...

13
Jimbei: CURSE YOU, MARINES~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!
Arlong: Our ship's done for!!! // We're stealing one of the Marine vessels!!!
Crew: Yeahhhh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!
Koala: Mummy... // What's all that noise?
Mother: ...It's nothing...
Koala: ?
[Box: As a result of the ambush... / ...the Sun Pirates were taken unawares, and their Captain mortally wounded...]
Crew: Boss~~~~~!!
[Box: However, they succeeded in stealing a Marine vessel and escaping to open waters...]

14
Crew: Boss!! What are you saying?!!! // You've lost too much blood!! If you don't have a blood transfusion soon, you're not going to make it...!!! // Your blood type is extremely rare... There's nobody in our crew who is a suitable match!!
Tiger: But... The blood samples stored on this ship... *pant*... are human blood... are they not...?!!! / *pant*...
Aladdin: That's right! Human blood is no different from our own!!! We can use it to save you...!! It's your only chance!!! // I will begin the process immediately -
Tiger: I forbid it!!! / *pant*...
Crew: ?!!
Tiger: I don't want to live on with their blood in my veins!!! / *pant*...

15
Tiger: That blood is tainted!! ......It's the blood of those who have scorned us all their lives!!!
Crew: ?!
Tiger: I refuse to be in their debt...!!! I will not accept their pity...!!!
Jimbei: ..................Boss......?!
Tiger: I will never submit... // ...to the humans!!! / ..................*pant*... // *pant*...
Arlong: ?
Tiger: I didn't want you... to know about this... On my final voyage...
Crew: ?!
Flashback!Jimbei: This last trip certainly took you a while!!
Flashback!Neptune: What in the world did you witness on your latest journey...?!!!
Flashback!TIger: Humans, Your Majesty.
Tiger: Not long after I set out... *pant*... I was captured...!!! // They took me to Mariejoa... I was there for years...!!!
Crew: What?!!

16
Tiger: I was... // ...a slave!!!
Crew: ?!!
Jimbei: What.........?!!
Tiger: What I witnessed there.........
Arlong: ...............!!
Tiger: ...was the madness of humans...
Hachi: Boss...
Tiger: I managed to escape with my life...... But I could not abandon the other slaves I had witnessed all around me... / *pant*... *pant*... // ......Listen, all of you... / I have lived according to my selfish wishes... // ...and as a result, caused great trouble... / ...to Queen Otohime's designs.........!!! // But Otohime... is right! / Peace for everyone - that is what we should all strive for!!

17
Tiger: But... We're not the ones... who can really change things for our people... / It's only the next generation... Children like Koala, who still know nothing... that can do that......!!!
Crew: ...............!!
Tiger: That's why I beg of you!! Don't tell anything of this to the people of Fishman Island!! / Of the tragedy that has befallen us!! Or of our rage towards the humans!!! // There are countless kind-hearted humans out there in this world!!! I understand that!! / And yet... as we die and vanish from this world...!! We leave nothing behind us but resentment and hatred!!! // ......My mind can see the truth, but the demon in my heart stands firm!! / My body... refuses to accept their blood!!! // It's too late for me...!!! / I can't...... // ...love the humans any more......!!!

18
Jimbei: Don't say such things, Boss!! You have to live!! Please!!! // There is still life left in you!!!
Aladdin: Boss!! No matter what you might say... / As far as all the slaves you released are concerned... You are our saviour, and we owe you a lifelong debt!!! / You are the hero of Fishman Island!!!
Tiger: ......!! / That makes me happy.........
Flashback!Tiger: If there's nobody else who'll challenge me, then I will take charge of the Fishman District!! // My name is Tiger!! / And I will protect all those beneath me!!!
Crew: BOOOOOOOSS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!
[Box: Thus ended the life... // ...of Fisher Tiger, Captain of the Sun Pirates......]

19
[Box: Koala's homeland, Foolshout Island]
Arlong: Nguaaarrhhhhhhh!!
Borsalino: So you're Arlong, eh~~~? / Now, why in the world... / ...would you decide... // ...to come crawling back here~~~~~?
[Box: Marine HQ Vice Admiral / Borsalino / (The future Admiral Kizaru)]
Arlong: Urghhh......!!! // I'm here to slaughter every last one of the humans who sold out Big Bro Ti!!! / I'll go to the island that sent the report, too......!!! // Fisher Tiger is dead!! Murdered by you and your inferior kind!!!
Borsalino: Ohhhh~~~? Is that right~~? Dead, is he...? / At any rate... I think you need to come along with me~~~!
Arlong: !!
[Insert text: Kizaru in his younger days!! What is he planning...?!]
