Chapter 19
The Threads of Fate

“Hmm, we meet again, Uncle Tiger.”

Kela’s eyes welled up with tears, but a bright smile spread across her face.

Her cheerful smile was as radiant as the sun in the sky.

Seeing this smile, Fisher Tiger was momentarily stunned, and he was unusually at a loss for words.

He wasn’t sure if it was relief or some other emotion that filled his heart.

The ice in his heart, deeply hidden and directed at humanity, seemed to melt at that moment.

Twelve years ago, he escorted an eleven-year-old slave girl named Kela back to her hometown, and as a result, he was ambushed by the Marines.

Fueled by hatred for humans, he refused a blood transfusion and died.

Twelve years later, the little girl he escorted back then had grown into an adult, and with the world’s most precious resurrection card, she brought him back to life.

It felt as if an invisible thread, a thread of destiny, connected them.

This thread had nothing to do with race, it was simply the good deed he had done that bore good fruit.

Looking at Kela in front of him, Fisher Tiger suddenly felt a sense of release.

He used to magnify the hatred he felt from being tormented by the Celestial Dragons to all humans, suppressing this hatred with his reason.

But now, he had completely let go.

Fishmen and humans are alike, although they may differ in appearance and race, they both share the same love and understand gratitude.

There are good and bad people in both groups.

“Queen Otohime, perhaps I can now understand how you felt back then.”

Fisher Tiger murmured to himself.

“Uncle Fisher, where do you want to go? You can choose your resurrection location.”

Kela’s words interrupted Fisher Tiger’s thoughts.

Looking at the girl with her cheerful smile, Fisher Tiger smiled back warmly and heartily, saying,

“Take me to Jinbei.”

“I understand.”

Kela nodded.

After confirming the location, Fisher Tiger’s soul gradually faded into the light.

“Come visit Fishman Island sometime, Kela, haha.”

Fisher Tiger waved his hand vigorously and laughed heartily.

As Tiger’s light faded, Kela was already in tears.

Since returning to her hometown, she hadn’t cried this hard before, but her smile had never been as bright as it was at this moment.

“I will, Uncle Fisher, give my regards to everyone.”

Kela waved her hand vigorously.

Fishman Island, Sea Forest.

After the Marineford War, Jinbei mostly resided here with the Sun Pirates.

“This is crazy.”

Jinbei was still watching everyone in the chatroom scrambling for the resurrection card.

He had also considered trying to get it to resurrect his older brother Tiger, but he quickly gave up.

Because the ones vying for it were all Emperor-level beings.

“Hey, Jinbei, don’t you think the name Kela sounds familiar?”

Aladdin asked from the side.

He remembered the little girl they had escorted back then.

“Impossible, Kela would never join the Revolutionary Army.”

Jinbei laughed and waved his hand dismissively.

At this moment, Jinbei was still unaware that Kela had joined the Revolutionary Army.

Although his friend Haku was Kela’s karate instructor, the two of them rarely discussed the Revolutionary Army.

However, as soon as Jinbei finished speaking.

Aladdin’s expression went from shock to joy as he looked towards Jinbei’s back.

“Fi, Fi, Fi, Fisher Brother?”

Aladdin stammered, calling out Fisher’s name.

Jinbei turned around in disbelief, and there stood the man he had most admired in his life.

“Yo, long time no see, Jinbei, Aladdin, you guys have aged quite a bit.”

Tiger was still his usual hearty and bold self, laughing and joking with the two.

However, neither of them had the heart to joke around at this moment, and they immediately burst into tears, wanting to rush towards him.

But they were blocked by an invisible energy barrier.

At that moment.

Kela also spoke up in the chatroom.

Kela: Everyone, stop fighting, I’ve already used the resurrection card.

Shiki: Are you kidding me? You’ve already used it?

BIG MOM: Hey, little girl, don’t think you can get away with just saying that and keep the resurrection card for yourself.

Kaido: For the sake of the eternal life surgery, unless you tell us who you resurrected, then you’ll face the Beasts Pirates.

Dragon: Do you want to start a war with our Revolutionary Army, Kaido?

Sabo: Though our strength is still inferior to the World Government, dealing with you, Kaido, is already more than enough.

The air instantly became thick with tension.

And at this moment, the Five Elders were quite pleased, hoping for a war between the Revolutionary Army and Kaido.

Despite being trapped within the energy field.

Fisher Tiger: Kela resurrected me. I’ve already been resurrected. If you want to fight, then fight the Sun Pirates instead.

Tiger wouldn’t stand idly by while Kela was targeted by the pirates.

He directly spoke up, drawing all eyes to himself.

Jinbei: If you want to target Kela, come at us.

Whitebeard: So it was Tiger who was resurrected. Although it wasn’t Roger, Tiger is one of the few people I admire in this world. The Fishman Island King Neptune is my old friend, so count me in.

Rayleigh: If it’s Tiger, I’ll lend a hand as well.

Boa Hancock: Anyone who fights against Mr. Tiger is an enemy of mine.

Shanks: It’s rare, but one of my crewmates has received a favor from Mr. Tiger.

No one expected that Fisher Tiger, just by himself, would cause several legendary figures to speak out in his defense.

But if you think about what Fisher Tiger has done, it makes sense.

The Straw Hat Luffy only became famous for punching a Celestial Dragon at Sabaody Archipelago.

But Fisher Tiger actually caused chaos in Mary Geoise.

He not only freed many slaves in Mary Geoise, but he also formed the Sun Pirates afterwards, conducting a three-year slave liberation movement.

Like Vegapunk, he’s someone who, although not particularly strong, has a world-class reputation.

On the Grand Line, countless people see Fisher Tiger as an idol.

The slaves he freed back then, even the children, have grown into adults, with some like Boa Hancock becoming a Shichibukai.

Whether it’s those who received his favor or those who admire him for his actions.

They all spontaneously came forward to speak for him.

Under these circumstances, even the likes of Kaido and BIG MOM, ruthless individuals, didn’t say anything more.

On the one hand, the resurrection card had indeed been used.

On the other hand, Fisher Tiger was simply not someone to mess with.
