The ocean is the domain of the merfolk. For those merfolk with considerable strength, crossing the ocean is not a difficult task, even without a ship.
The future of the Sun Pirates was entrusted to Jinbe.
The fishmen, tired of their old lives, can return to the mining company; Kuzan's previous report has essentially wiped the slate clean of their past actions.
Those who wish to carry on Tiger's "legacy" continue to follow Jinbe.

Even if they are wanted again, this is a new Sun Pirates crew, completely different from the Tiger era, and they won't attract as much attention as Tiger did.
Moreover, the Sun Pirates probably won't be setting sail again for some time. At least until the end of this year's World Government Summit, Jinbe doesn't plan to cause any more trouble.
Tiger and Shaq were unaware of these things as they sailed across the sea, heading towards Piltover.
The chances of encountering Sea Kings outside the Calm Belt are slim. Even if Sea Kings are present, they are usually small individuals that do not pose a significant threat.
Although the fish-men are not as fast as the mermaids, they are among the fastest swimming creatures in the ocean. After some time, they successfully reached Piltover.
"Speaking of which, Tiger, you've never been here before, have you?"
"Yes, although I've heard about the situation here, this is indeed my first time here."
"Relax, this island is different from other places."
Shaq has been here more than once and knows which location is the easiest to land.
After groping along the seabed for a while, they surfaced together with Tiger.
"Meow!"
An orange cat on the beach, searching for small crabs or something similar among the rocks, was startled by the sudden appearance of the dark shadow. Its fur stood on end, and it bared its sharp teeth at Shaq.
The cry also attracted several children who were also searching for hermit crabs and small seashells on the rocky beach.
A shark-faced man and a red-faced fishman emerged from the sea. They neither screamed nor ran away, but continued to rummage through the rocks on the shallows as if nothing had happened.
Some people were greeting Shaq.
Fishmen appear frequently in this country, and these children have long been accustomed to this minority race. Compared to the fear and disgust in many countries, there is even a sense of envy here.
I envy the fish-people's innate ability to move underwater.
"Tiger, can you feel it? If there's any country that matches Princess Otohime's expectations right now, it's definitely this place."
"Yes, it's definitely different here."
During his voyage leading the Sun Pirates, Tiger landed on many islands and encountered all sorts of people.
Arrogance, fear, and discrimination were all undisguised in their eyes.
Children raised in this environment naturally learn this attitude from their parents and carry on this idea from generation to generation.
Changing this approach won't be something that can be done in a year or two.
The attitude of the higher-ups is important, but the opinions of the people are equally important, and Piltover has done just that.
Oran's orders and ideas were implemented on the island, and many people who had experienced slavery or wandering could understand the feeling of being discriminated against.
Although it has its flaws, the overall environment is much better than that of other islands.
Only children like this can teach the next generation more "correct" ideas when they grow up.
"Shaq, you've been having a lot of free time lately, coming here more often. Meow has been picking you up quite a few times these days."
Even in Piltover, Shaq didn't take Tiger into the main city, but instead went to a remote mountain forest where he met Kate, who had been waiting for a long time.
Shaq would definitely have informed Oran beforehand if he brought people here, especially since he had told Tiger some very special things, which made it even more necessary to inform him in advance.
"It's quite leisurely indeed. The mining company is on track, and it can operate normally even if I don't follow them. Fishman Island has also been quite peaceful lately, so overall it's a good thing."
"Let's go, Oran is already waiting for you. Be prepared, this time the move might be a little faster."
Looking down from the sky, you can see a huge spherical space enclosing this place.
Without a doubt, that was the "operating room" of the surgical fruit.
The stronger the ability of the operator, the larger the operating room will be, and the more procedures can be performed.
With a flick of Kate's finger, the people present changed positions as if they had teleported, and arrived directly in an underground tunnel.
