Unlike Arlong, who suffered under the sun and saw his hero Fisher Tiger die, Hordy Jones never experienced human cruelty firsthand. His "true identity" is not that of a victim, but of a . He is a monster created entirely by his environment—a product of the toxic resentment passed down by his ancestors that he and his officers adopted without ever having met a human themselves. A Legacy of Emptiness
The New Fish-Man Pirates fear that the grudge against humans might one day fade, leading to peace. To prevent this, they actively stoke the fires of hatred to justify their existence.
