Even on Fishman Island, this incident caused quite a stir, causing Otohime's peace policy, which she had been striving to promote for many years, to regress significantly.
"well"
"There's no other way. We can't announce that Tiger is still alive. It would be too dangerous for him."
Jinbe had already reported Tiger's specific situation to Shaq. Fishman Island is now collecting S-type RH- blood from its inhabitants in preparation for an emergency blood transfusion for Tiger upon his return.
But if this were reported, all of their previous efforts would be wasted, and all they could do was appease those people.
Fortunately, with the appearance of Shaq, Tiger's influence, although considerable, is not as exaggerated as it was in the original timeline on Fishman Island, and it is still within a controllable range.
Although S-type RH- blood is rare, Fishman Island was able to find some, and when Tiger was brought back, the blood was quickly transfused into his body.
In fact, there is no difference between human, fish-man, or mermaid blood. Although fish-man and mermaid races have sea-race genes, their blood can be used interchangeably without any impact.
Tiger simply couldn't get over that hurdle in his mind. As blood was transfused, Tiger's vital signs began to stabilize.
"Everyone, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."
Tiger lay in his hospital bed, seemingly somewhat apologetic for the impact he had caused.
After saying that, Tiger seemed exhausted and fell asleep.
"Shaq, Tiger... his heart is filled with destruction and despair."
After seeing Tiger's condition, Otohime called out to Shaq, because with her special Observation Haki, Otohime could easily sense Tiger's inner emotions.
Contrary to his outwardly sunny and cheerful demeanor, Tiger's heart is filled with negative emotions.
Kella initially gave Tiger some hope, but subsequent events only made Tiger sink deeper into this quagmire.
"I understand. You can leave now. Leave the rest to me."
Shaq sent everyone else out of the book world, leaving only him and Tiger behind.
"Tiger, are you still not going to say anything?"
"Brother Shaq."
"Dying is simple, but can death solve anything? Are you really willing to let your life just end like this?"
"No, Brother Shaq, you have no idea what I've been through."
While on the ship, Tiger's last words were interrupted, and he didn't get to say many of them.
But he had kept these words to himself for years, and now that there were only two of them here, Tiger finally couldn't hold back anymore.
"Actually, I didn't travel at all. Shortly after leaving Fish-Man Island, I was captured by those slave traders. I witnessed hell and madness on earth in Mary Geoise! I was once a slave myself."
Although I barely escaped from there, I cannot turn a blind eye to the others.
Queen Otohime was right. There will always be people who yearn for peace but want change. What's needed is the next generation, to let those innocent and ignorant children accept the right, not discriminatory, concepts.
There are good people in the world, but I... can no longer love humanity!
"Tiger, I understand you."
Shaq listened calmly to Tiger's outpouring of pain, then uttered words that shocked even Tiger.
"No, Brother Shaq, you can't understand that kind of pain."
"I said I could, because I used to be just like you."
"Brother Shaq, what are you saying?"
"I was once a slave, but much further back in time."
That happened 26 years ago.
Do you think you've seen all the evil of the Celestial Dragons? Those guys are beasts who hunt slaves and natives indiscriminately for their own amusement.
But as you can see, I'm still alive. Under that person's guidance, we killed the Celestial Dragons and escaped from that island.
Tiger's near-breakdown seemed to be restored at this moment, and he heard even more outrageous things.
"I've never heard of such a thing."
"Of course you haven't heard of this. The World Government wouldn't publicize such a thing. My biggest dream used to be to live a simple and peaceful life, taking things as they come. If it weren't for these things, I would probably be a fisherman now."
No one can forget that kind of pain, but you must remember who brought it upon you.
The liberation of slaves was a great thing, but it only addressed the symptoms, not the root cause. Without overthrowing their foundations, this kind of thing will happen again sooner or later.
What you see may not be the truth. Part of the plan is to completely overthrow those guys' rule. So, Tiger, what is your choice?
No one can say they have no hatred in their heart. Although Tiger forbids killing, the hatred in his heart is more severe than anyone else's. Now that he has an outlet, it has been completely released.
"Brother Shaq, you mean..."
"One person's strength is not enough. Do you think that mining ore is simply about mining? If you are mentally prepared and have the awareness, then come with me."
Mercy in sparing lives may bring some fame, but only iron and blood can bring ultimate peace.
Tiger had given up hope of living, which led to his death from excessive blood loss. After receiving a blood transfusion, his body was healing rapidly.
Having a new pursuit even accelerated Tiger's physical healing.
No one knows what Tiger and Shaq talked about; their meeting remains a secret between them.
However, the fishmen all knew that after Shaq had his talk with Tiger, there was a clear new hope in Tiger's eyes.
Shortly after that, Shaq took Tiger and left Fishman Island alone, heading to Piltover.
