Princess Shirahoshi is a major character in the One Piece franchise, serving as one of the main characters of the Fishman Island arc. She is the only daughter and youngest child of King Neptune and Queen Otohime, the younger sister of Fukaboshi, Ryuboshi and Manboshi, and the princess of Fishman Island.
Despite her tall size and possessing powerful abilities, she is incredibly shy and sometimes anxious. Despite this, she possesses a kind heart and is willing to help anyone in dire times.
She is voiced by Yukana Nogami in the Japanese version of the anime, and by Bryn Apprill in the English version.
What Makes Her Pure Good?[]
- Inadvertently saves her mother's life from Mjosgard by summoning the Sea Kings in distress, causing him to pass out from fear.
- Allows Luffy to stay hidden in her room and eat her food despite being an outsider and having entered her room as an intruder.
- Holds no hatred for Vander Decken even though he is responsible for having forced her to stay isolated in the palace for ten years and the reason why she wasn't able to visit her mother's grave for ten years. When asking for her hand in marriage, he politely rejects him only because she's not his type.
- Pays respects to her mother at her grave.
- Sheds tears after hearing Jinbe's story and seeing Nami forgive Jinbei for letting Arlong free and being indirectly responsible for her terrible childhood.
- When Hody reveals that she killed Queen Otohime, Shirahoshi states that she'd already known for several years, but instead of showing hatred for Hody, she merely cries in grief over the death of her mother.
- She chose not to tell the truth about Hody Jones killing Otohime so that the people of Fishmen Island wouldn't hold a grudge against Hody, since her mother's final wish was that none of them become angry over her death.
- She forgives Hody Jones, a pure evil villain, for the death of her mother and all of his actions against her family.
- Though her decision not to reveal the truth about Hody Jones allowed him to continue his plans for several years, she was very young when she learned the truth and thus wasn't able to understand the impact her secrecy would have, and only kept it secret to honor her mother's wishes.
- She sincerely thanks Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates for helping fight Hody Jones.
- When Vander Decken prepared to sink Fishman Island with the Noah, she bravely swam up and asked that she be sacrificed instead of her people.
- She flees from the island in order to draw the Noah away.
- She uses the power of Poseidon to summon the Sea Kings, preventing The Noah from falling onto Fishman Island and saving the entire population of the island.
- Along with her mother, her decision to forgive Hody inspired her father and her oldest brother, Fukaboshi, into following their wishes, taking pity on Hody and his crew when they become old and decrepit and choosing not to hold a grudge against him either.
- Politely refuses the crowd of noble suitors by telling them they are not her type.
- When she is imprisoned by Charlos, she begged her father not to hold any hatred towards him, willing to become a slave in order to ensure that no violence or hatred is created against the human and Fishman races. When she was captured again by this persistent Charlos, she begs anyone to help her when she was rescued by both Sai and Leo (the two division commanders of the Straw Hat Pirates Grand Fleet) by smashing Charlos' already injured head (presumably killed the Celestial Dragon). She and her family were eventually sent back home by Monkey D. Garp (Luffy's grandfather and the Marine Vice Admiral who also hates the Celestial Dragons (similar to his grandson).
