History

Past

Sea Kings summoned by Shirahoshi.

Ten years ago, Underbite was one of the Sea Kings inadvertently summoned to Fish-Man Island by the six-year-old Shirahoshi's emotional outburst when her mother was threatened by Saint Mjosgard. As it emerged from the sea at the port, Underbite crushed the Mjosgard's wrecked ship, the Migohai Gaimika, between its teeth. After Mjosgard fainted in terror, Underbite and the other Sea Kings left.

Fish-Man Island Saga

Fish-Man Island Arc

Underbite was one of the Sea Kings unconsciously summoned by Shirahoshi when Luffy was attempting to destroy Noah to save Fish-Man. Underbite and five others of its kind—Mottled, Birdy, Googly-Eyed, Scales and Topknot—took ahold of the ship's chains, halting its descend. Conversing with Shirahoshi, the Sea Kings explaining that she was their sovereign and had called them. After Shirahoshi left to save the fainted Luffy, the Sea Kings talked amongst themselves. They noted that it had seemed as if Luffy had heard their voices, something that previously occured with Gol D. Roger. They then wondered if Noah could be repaired before the "promised day". After pulling Noah to the Sea Forest, they swam away.

Anime and Manga Differences

In the manga, Underbite was not present during the Roger Pirates' descent into Fish-Man Island, and did not experience being heard by Roger and Oden firsthand. In the anime, it and Mottled were both added to the scene, and witnessed the event directly.
