Scuffed Piece Arc List

## Scuffed Piece

In a small island in the North Blue 24 years after the Pirate King Gold Roger’s death a young man named Rodd is seen walking the street. He notices some marines the supposed peace keepers bullying a rather strange individual named mykul and mysteriously a purple Tigershark FishMan also seen in the area just happening to be around.Rodd walks over to the marines and to help the bullied Mykul gets their attention by saying he is a new recruit just recently hired and told to meet with them. After a conversation where Rodd convinces the marines of his story they have to set sail immediately as they have an important deal at sea. As the marines hastily try to load onto the ship they accidentally take Mykul and Ben the Fish-men who happened to get dragged away in the frantic crowd of people and now all three Rodd,Ben,and Mykul are placed on the ship as they sail away. During this time on the ship Rodd makes conversation with Ben where they both introduce themselves and it is revealed to Ben that Rodd is a fake marine who managed to swipe all the wallets on the ship and as they split the money the 9 ft tall Mykul appears trying to spark a conversation with the duo until a Pirate ship is seen in the distance. Naturally the trio get on edge as marines and pirates are enemies so they expected a battle to commence but instead the two ships slow down next to each other as the lead marine of the ship that Rodd talked to before stands face to face with the captain of the pirate crew known around the North Blue as the Barrels Pirates. The lead marine gives the Captain named Diaz Barrels a collection of what looks like confidential paperwork and in exchange the pirates haul out a massive treasure chest and as the deal is about to be sealed with a hand shake between the two leaders Rodd leaps forward from the ship knocking the two apart and backing on the marine ship with the chest in his grasp. Seeing this both sides are confused as Diaz Barrels yells back at his men to attack and in response all of the pirates pull out guns and on load fire on the marines killing them but in the nick of time Rodd and Ben hide behind the chest as Mykul runs inside to hide from the gun fire leaving them as the only ones left on the ship.Rodd quickly draws pistols from his person returning fire as Ben unsheathes his blade of red and jumps over to the pirate ship to begin his attack. As the battle rages on with Rodd and Ben displaying impressive Kicking and Swordsmanship talent Mykul also joins the fight revealing his fencing sword style and as the number of pirates swindle and all that is left is Barrels and a mysterious cloaked figure that observed the battle the figure finally goes into battle miraculously transforming oneself into a Allosaurus he leaps into the air and slams his tail onto Diaz Barrels launching him down into the water and killing him the dinosaur transforms back into a human and introduces himself to the trio on the two ships as the battle is over.

### Diaz Trading Hub

After the battle the one that transformed into a dinosaur and back introduces himself as Diaz Dory a now former member of the Barrels Pirates run by his father that he hated. After meeting the trio they all realize they are stuck in the middle of the sea so they clean of the pirate ship and use it to sail back towards Swallow Island. On the way all four boys talk to each other and with Dory telling them that they will be registered criminals now for being the cause of marine deaths Rodd proposes the idea that they should create a pirate crew with the four of them and go on an adventure after stopping at Swallow island for supplies. Ben,Mykul,and Dory agreeing due to not having anywhere else to go form the UnDead Cavalry Pirate Crew and assign positions to themselves with Rodd as Captain,Dory as Vice Captain, Mykul as Lookout, and Ben as a Shipwright.Stopped on Swallow Island they gather materials and supplies needed for they adventure and Rodd hauls over a massive load of chests and bags said by Rodd to be holding his belongings. On the ship after the departure they crew moving into their new home check the chest from the Barrels Pirates to the marines and inside find a lot of weapons,money,and a small chest that holds a Devil Fruit. Open this discovery Dory explains what Devil Fruits are and also that he has one and is the reason he can transform into a dinosaur. Rodd during their blind sailing explains that he wants to find a place with a lot of infamous pirates and in response Dory chimes in once again explaining how the Barrels Pirates were like the black market for the North Blue and their home base the Diaz Trading hub is even after the crew’s demise is filled with pirates they come to meet other crews and make deals that aren’t so legal. Hearing this information Rodd immediately claims that as their new destination and excitingly walks off. Later in the afternoon that day Mykul wondering around the ship stumbles into Rodd’s treasure ship because of a sweet smell he finds the treasure chest they took. After some debating by Mykul he opens the chest and holds the Devil Fruit in his hands but trips with the fruit close to his mouth and accidentally takes a bite out of it falling to the ground. The other members of the crew arrive and upon entering the room don’t see Mykul until Ben looks at a box and sees Mykul’s face on it staring back and they all see the bitten fruit on the floor realizing what has happened. Mykul still as a box talks and with Rodd quite angry all of a sudden pops out the box and Dory tells the crew that upon eating a Devil Fruit you gain the basic knowledge of its name and base ability and Mykul trying to remember says it the Mix Mix Fruit and goes to play around with it and figure out how it works. The next day arriving on the Trading Hub a medium sized island with many docks to support the many pirate ships they crew disembark and the trio of Rodd,Mykul,and Dory head to the main center building of the island and Ben stays behind to walk around the dock and observe the mighty ships. The trio inside the Hub building are surrounded by many pirates with big bounties in the North Blue and they spilt up to do there own thing with Rodd going gambling,Mykul wandering,and Dory talking to a familiar face.During Rodd’s gambling he is doing well going undefeated for a good while until he spots a man who seems to be on a higher win streak then he is and challenges him all or nothing but with the game seemingly going in Rodd’s favor suddenly everything goes the mysterious man’s way instead and he takes all of Rodd’s money. Meanwhile Mykul just walking around the hub sees a big man chugging down drinks that he finds interesting and bothers him which sets him off leading to Mykul having to test his fruit abilities to escape as this massive man chases him around and in the distraction after his loss Rodd steals sleeping gas from a pirate and unleashed all of it on the hub to hopefully get back his money and a whole lot extra. After the Room starts to clear Rodd quickly runs around robbing anyone he can and wakes Dory and Mykul until suddenly the bathroom door swings open and the man Rodd lost against walks out oblivious to what happened outside asks the unconscious people as Rodd and Mykul lounge forward with blades to swiftly kill the man but instead the blades break upon contact with his skin confusing them and as the man is about to speak Dory grabs the two and bursts out a window before sprinting down the island and rushing at high speeds toward to ship while explaining that the man they attacked is a Warlord named Fortune D. Kaiser and one of the most powerful people in the world. During Dory’s dash he is stopping by Kaiser who somehow out sped them to their ship and just starts a casual conversation. After a short talk where Rodd impressed Kaiser with his confidence he challenges them to meet him in the grand line and at a speed to fast for the trio to track disappears leaving them at their ship where they get Ben and prepare to set sail

### Goofy Boy Arc

The Undead Cavalry fresh off their encounter with the Warlord Fortune D. Kaiser set sail after all gathering on the ship. On the ship as they drift off a News coo arrives dropping a newspaper that Dory grabs and brings the crew together to read. The news paper informs the crew of the recent abandonment of the Germa Kingdom due to their attempts at conquest on other islands and the Marines stepping in to stop them. A big figure talked about in the news in a man called “Hero of the North Blue” who appeared around the Germa incident and has been fighting evil pirates but also attacking marines which caused him to gain a bounty of $170,000. Rodd gets up excitedly after seeing that the incident with the Barrels Pirates was covered and their crew has finally gained a bounty due to the takedown of both a big pirate crew and a marine vessel. Meanwhile as the crew is celebrating that they are a true crew now Mykul hears a strange sound come from Rodd’s treasure room and walks away to investigate. The crew a few moments after Mykul walked away heard a thump from the room causing them to walk towards the door and upon opening it launching passed Ben’s head at high speeds they see floating above the ship is a purple katana and as Rodd leaps up to grab the floating weapon it releases a dust that compresses and forms into a purple clad ninja kicking Rodd away while loudly announcing his arrival. “FEEL GRACED LOWER ONES THE GREAT MURAKAMI DESCENDS UPON YOU BOW THEE HEADS!!” the ninja exclaims. Rodd,Dory,and Ben confused at what they just witnessed paused while Ben realized that Mykul was knock unconscious on the floor and they all raise their guard unaware if they should proceed into battle. Rodd stands back up and gets in a back and forth with MuraKami arguing until Dory breaks it up and has MuraKami explain what’s happening. The purple ninja tells the crew that he is trying to kill Kaiser as he was the one who stuffed him in a box and left him on the ship and explaining further tells the crew that he is a sword through some scientist was made to “eat” the Human Human fruit which allows him to take a form and talk to people aswell as wield himself. Rodd strikes a deal with the blade telling that they have plans to meet Kaiser in the Grand Line so suggests the MuraKami should stay with their crew joining temporarily until they meet Kaiser again. During the midst of their chat in the distance a Marine ship is seen traveling towards them and the crew without the unconscious Mykul prepares for battle. As the ship pulls close a marine with a cloak having symbols for justice on the back named Captain Moris yells at them giving them the chance to either stand down or die in combat to which the trio of Ben,Dory,and Rodd leap forward choosing to fight. The battle is pretty one sided for the trio as in the background MuraKami is seen wiping his Blade before finally when the only marines left are a small pink haired boy and Captain Moris leaps into the air proclaiming loudly that he is the strongest before cutting the Marine ship into 4 pieces killing Moris in the Process and causing the vessel to sink with the trio and boy still on the ship. Ben being a FishMan grabs everyone before the sinking of the ship and leaps back onto their vessel including the marine kid. After the battle is over Rodd argues with MuraKami because of his actions with the former not caring and Dory as well as Ben talk to the boy learning that despite his young appearance, is actually the same age as Ben and is named Goofy Boy. Sometime passes in which MuraKami and Rodd cool off and just hang around the ship and the crew decides to drop Goofy Boy off at the next marine base. The next day the crew early in the morning arrive at the shore of the island with Mykul still unconscious from Mura’s hit. The crew starts to dispatch with some banter between Rodd and Mura not wanting to listen but Dory stops it and Mura goes with him. Upon entering the island 5 marines stopped the crew at the docks and Rodd makes a lie stating that Goofy Boy is a hostage and as the conversation goes on Goofy Boy disappears from Rodd’s hand and his seen atop a building held by a man in a cyan outfit making a heroic pose who starts reprimanding Rodd for having a hostage. He introduces himself as a hero named Sound Cyan. After some arguing Rodd makes an attempt to claim Goofy Boy back and Mura getting bored of the situation attacks The Hero pushing Rodd away and knocking out the marines in the process. The Hero after a stalemate with Mura leaves the scene and the crew splits with Dory dragging Mura to shop with him and Rodd takes Ben with him to sell Goofy Boy for ransom at the Marine base. At the base, negotiations break down and a fight starts and Dory and Mura joined the battle with all going well until Ben and Dory get captured by the base’s leader Gattling Gun Logan and Rodd attempts to save Ben and Dory leaving Mura to 1v1 Logan who gets a really good fight out of but Mura is filled with bullet holes and is thrown into the cage while Rodd is saved by a cloaked marine who reveals to be Goofy Boy allowing Rodd to escape back to the ship and get Mykul to reform a plan. Upon being woken up Mykul is told of the situation and is quick in responding to help with Rodd and him breaking back into the prison and gathering the crew thanks to Mykul’s devil fruit power and escaping without facing Logan again. On the ship the crew scrambles to set sail with marines in chase with everyone helping besides MuraKami who is seen in his katana form unresponsive and showing no signs of life but the UnDead Cavalry manages to sail away from the island before Logan could get to them and they head of back in search of their original target the Germa Kingdom.

### Germa Ruins Arc

After multiple days of travel the crew is getting restless and eager for the next island but also MuraKami every since his defeat to Captain Logan has been unresponsive in his Sword Mode. Suddenly the waves start to rapidly pick up as the ship is rocked back and forth before falling to its side and causing the crew to fall into the water. Due to the aggressive waves everyone is carried away against their will beside Ben who thanks to being a Fishman is able to swim and grabs the sinking Devil Fruit users that have been weakened by the water but is too late as Rodd and the ship as they are carried away with the waves. Ben frantically swims looking for land to put Dory and Mykul on when he sees an island in the distance and upon getting close is reunited shortly with Rodd wearing the unresponsive MuraKami but is also shown the capsized and wrecked ship. After the fruit users recover a plan is made, explore the town ahead and look for materials so Ben can fix the ship, meanwhile Dory comes to the conclusion based of the course they were on that this island they washed up on is the Germa Kingdom they were searching for. Upon exploring town they find out the news was right in that the town is completely wrecked and people that didn’t manage to leave the island are stuck scavenging for any scraps they can. After some information gathering the crew heads to a stand set up by a pirate that has gathered a lot of supplies from the ruined island and is selling them for high profit. Stationed in the upper parts of town a man named Eustass Kidd is talking to Rodd and they are discussing materials and prices so they can build the ship. After some negotiations Rodd leaves as he thinks Kidd has over priced everything and the crew decided to set up a small camp at the ship and Dory suggests spending the next few days scavenging and chopping trees to repair the ship that way. That same night Rodd gathers the crew and explains that he plans to sneak into Kidd’s ship and steal materials and anything else valuable, he invites anyone to help but they all quickly refuse and carry on their rest for the night leaving Rodd to accomplish his heist alone. At midnight Rodd leaps through town maintaining stealth until he masterfully invades Kidd’s ship but to his dismay find all of his pirate crew awake but decides to attack one isolated pirate but fails leading Kidd to join the scuffle. Back at the Campfire with Mykul,Dory,and Ben they abruptly wake up after hearing yelling from in the town at such a late time and Ben joined by Mykul go to investigate while Dory watches the ship and all their valuables. In town walking down the road was Kidd making a scene to call forth the UnDead Cavalry as he has a beaten and bruised Rodd held in the sky by a metal band lock restricting his movements. After a quick conversation a fight brakes out between Kidd,Killer,Ben,and Mykul in which Kidd and Killer display that they are no joke power wise pushing the two main characters back with their assaults. Ben formulates the plan to 1v2 them while Mykul sneaks to unlock the band on Rodd so they can escape. Attempting to buy time Ben is trying his best but is being beat senseless by the two ruthless pirates using assaults of spinning blades and Magnetic Scrap Beasts. This beatdown last for 5 minutes while Mykul who is still inexperienced with his abilities tries to unlock the band but finally after a solid few minutes he successfully frees Rodd and Ben is grabbed right before he was hit by a killing attack from Kidd meanwhile Mykul leaps forward to clash with Killer revealing the true power of his new sword he made by fusing his normal blade with a special metal that Rodd stole which is able to contain physical energy and launch it back. This attack upon hitting Killer who was off guard is able to make a impressive injury that convinced Kidd to call a cease fire resulting in the two crews leaving separate ways to recover. The next morning a Ben covered in bandages is instructing Dory and Mykul what to do with the ship so they at least start work while Ben recovers. Meanwhile Rodd after the fight is thinking back on his decisions and feels guilty for Ben’s near death encounter due to his recklessness. While walking around the island Rodd watches adults and children take anything they can just trying to survive and thinks about the cruelty of the royal family to just leave and take everything useful with them. Multiple days pass and Ben is able to walk and work again, in this time thanks to Mykul’s ability he can fuse together the ship while new reinforcements are added making the ship able to be sailed on and allowing the crew to depart. Ben,Mykul,and Dory all get the ship ready for departure and inform Rodd so they can leave but as they start leaving Rodd declares that he needs sometime to rethink himself and leaves MuraKami on the ship before jumping off and allowing the crew to sail away. 30 minutes pass and Rodd walks once again through town contemplating before he catches a glimpse of the Hero from their previous adventure handing out food to families. The hero walks around town spreading supplies and helping people while Rodd watches stealthily but after a few minutes Rodd and caught and they talk for a minute with the hero exclaiming to help Rodd be a better person from his request. The duo wonder the island while The Hero tells Rodd to help people but reprimands him when making wrong decisions. After a few hours of that the two head to the abandoned Germa castle, it is here where Rodd learns about the Royal Family and that The Hero whose name is revealed as Vinsmoke Goji is a modified person who broke away from the family to help people instead of cause misery to them. In the castle an old experimental robot is booted up by Goji with him telling Rodd to fight it, during the clash Rodd is quickly finding that Goji’s “unusual” methods have actual helped his focus in battle and fight more accurately before suddenly while recalling all of his efforts with Goji to help people, Rodd strikes the robot and for a split second his leg is covered in black before causing an unusually strong impact on the robot. The next day Goji quickly rushed Rodd out to the coast of the island before grabbing him and flying into the distance with Rodd against his will saying that he needs to get to his friends now that he has found new confidence which confused Rodd but he didn’t protest as the flying sensation made his sick, and with Goji’s heroic laughter bellowing across the sea the two soared off to reunite the UnDead Cavalry.

### Logue Town

A day has passed since Rodd was left in the Germa Kingdom and MuraKami has awoken and been told of what transpired during the time he was unconscious. The crew has a gloomy atmosphere but is training to pass the time before an island is spotted in the distance by Mykul and in response Dory changes the course of the ship and they head towards the new island. Upon arrival and disembarking the ship everyone but Mura leaves to different directions with Mykul wanting to explore,Ben wanting to buy a sword, and Dory needing to resupply as they are soon to reach reverse mountain. Ben after a few minutes of walking finds a sword shop in which he enters, inside he finds an amazing collection of different sword types and quite a few in very good condition but his gaze is suddenly drawn to a very high quality Jian, the same sword type as the main sword he carries now. Ben asks the shopkeeper about the blade and is told it is a rare Ryo Wazamono (Skillful Grade Sword) and that it is gonna cost a lot of money for a sword that great. Over with Mykul he is currently running around town sightseeing before he runs into the center of town and sees a giant scaffolding in the middle and later asks a resident why that’s there and he’s told that this is the town were the former pirate King Gold Roger was executed. During he investigation Mykul meets Dory in the streets shopping and joins him walking together to gather food. Ben was quite interested in the Jian but didn’t have the expenses to buy it so considered stealing it until he heard a loud crash and yelling coming from the town center nearby. In the shopkeepers distraction due to the noise, Ben takes this opportunity to steal the blade and run out rushing towards the commotion. Citizens run past as Ben sees Dory in his Allosaurus form thrown to the ground enveloped in smoke as a Man also covered in smoke stands atop him with Mykul in his hand. Mykul tries to mix with the Jitte weapon on the man’s back but is launched out suddenly exhausted as the man exclaims to them, “Back down pirates you can’t beat a marine captain”. Ben leaps forward during the scene and slashes at the man but his blade passes through as the man’s body turns to smoke. In the distance the island is spotted by Goji and Rodd as they soar across the ocean excited to take a rest after flying for a day. At the same time Dory and the crew try to dash through town with Mykul making blockades that fail to slow down the man, the ship is seen down the street as the flying Katana MuraKami pierces the ground between the two sides proclaiming he has been waiting to fight before assuming his Human form and taking a combat stance. The trio of Dory,Mykul,and Ben reach the ship and prepare it to set sail and run from the opponent they seemingly can’t beat, in the middle of the street Mura is seen slashing through the Marine’s smoke body as a counter comes in the form of the smoke man’s Jitte that Mura is able to clash and parry with. MuraKami is rapidly pushed back against the Marine Captain Smoker’s fierce strikes before suddenly when he is about to be hit with a devastating hit due to a moment of distraction, Smoker is stunned by a loud sound wave that hit him head on as landing heroically is the hero Sound Cyan and Rodd. Everyone is shocked to see the town is Cyan leaps in to punch with his fist vibrating as Smoker blocks with his weapon but the force travels through and rattles the marine. Goji yells at everyone to start leaving as he is the only one capable of fighting but Mura and Rodd both ignore his request and rush Smoker, breaking his body into smoke which gives Goji the chance to stun him repeatedly. Combat continues for a minute before Rodd manages to steal Smoker’s weapon and smack hit with it and to everyone’s surprise actually dealing damage. In response Smoker prepares a serious attack now understanding he shouldn’t play with them anymore, Cyan notices the situation and steal and throws Mura’s sword onto the ship and flys Rodd back to the ship telling them they really need to leave and as soon as Rodd protests he is knocked out by the hero before he leaves to hold back Smoker so the UnDead Cavalry can sail away. The crew depart the island with Rodd unconscious and Goji distracting Smoker in the distance, the crew escape the island safely and due to Mykul and Mura’s kicking, Rodd awakens having given up and leaving trust to Goji while investigating the Jitte he stole. After a few minutes Dory informs him that the tip of the weapon is made of a material called Sea Prism Stone and can weaken Devil Fruit user’s the same as water does before assuming the helm and sailing towards the end of the North Blue, Reverse Mountain.

### Resort Island

Reverse Mountain, a mass of red rock with water the flows upwards and is the only gate from the 4 Blues to the Grand Line, a stretch of ocean filled with dangerous pirates and spontaneous weather that changes at a whim. Dory is explaining everything the crew needs to know as they approach and ascend Reverse Mountain. Everyone hold tight as they as pulled up by the water currents and as usual MuraKami and Rodd are arguing with them trying to push each other off but failing and as the ship reaches the summit they see the vast blue sea ahead and prepare for the challenges they know lie in the water. The crew having descended the island are sailing blindly as they see and hear the splashing of a man swimming through the ocean. They make eye contact with the swimmer and they exchange nods and they go there separate ways confused on what just happened. The next day land is finally spotted, a colossal palm tree with leaves that expand over the entire island is seen and immediately the crew prepares for docking and upon reaching the island they feel it is both hot but also cool as the palm tree creates shade all of the island with rays of light peeking through the island. Everyone except Mura disembark the ship and after a quick change for the weather and explore the island splitting up into Rodd, Dory and Ben, Mykul. The island is discovered to be called resort island as the entire place is a tourist attraction known all around and is protected by a Warlord of the sea due to the attention brought and the pirates that come with. Ben and Mykul are getting information before splitting up and Mykul finds himself walking down the street taking in the surroundings as he sees a boy, young looking but also as tall as Rodd standing upside down in the sky. As he ponders what he is seeing Mykul also begins to float coming face to face with the boy, he is introduced as Jinn the Warlord protector of the island and he explains he happened to be on a stroll when he ran into someone too strange looking to be from the island and started talking to him hence getting to where they are now. The two talk for a few minutes before Mykul is floated down by Jinn and he very quickly disappears. Ben, Rodd, and Dory meet up at a beach and relax for a while before being confronted by some marines causing the civilians to leave, the trio then engage in combat easily beating back the marines and due to the encounter they decide to head back to the ship for now and Ben goes to return while Dory leaves to retrieve Mykul and Rodd separates to run his own scheme. After a meeting with some thugs in an alley, Rodd who was looking for people to join the crew decides the best place would be the Marine base prison since there are already experienced pirates and he sets of to the base but first isolates a solo soldier before stealing his uniform. Rodd informs the others in advance before infiltrating the base, inside he sneaks around for a while before spotting a female marine suspiciously sweeping in a corner. Rodd hides out unseen as she is feeling around looking for something and after a few minutes finds a switch that opens the wall revealing a corridor. Rodd then confronts the girl as she tries to cover it up but fails miserably, the two talk with each revealing they obviously aren’t supposed to be here but the to go in the corridor together and talk more now formally introducing themselves with the girl introducing herself as Melodia Nago who Rodd recognizes as she is frequently in local news for her many attempts to flee her country as she is the princess of the Harmonia Kingdom. The two having walked down this corridor for a while hear panting and screaming as a small man is seen running in their direction, Nago noticing he is also injured helps the man as he frantically explains his name is Spinkle and he was trapped in this underground area with other as everyone was murdered one by one with him narrowly escaping. They find out more that this base is holding tourists and keeping them until just now hundreds where thrown in a gladiator style arena and forced to fight, more footsteps are heard down the hall coming towards them from the direction Rodd and Nago came from, the trio prepare to engage and see Ben coming down the corridor with Rodd telling the others he knows him. Ben is filled into the situation and tells them he came because he doesn’t trust Rodd to be alone for so long and Dory left to run a “Special Errand”. The four travel down the tunnel trying to learn more as the injured Spinkle is terrified but staying with them, they finally approach a big door with Spinkle informing them that this is where he came from. Both Ben and Rodd have to work together to open the heavy door but upon opening see hundreds of bodies stacked atop each other with one man sitting on the stack, as the duo stare more the man armed with horns on their head and a muscular build turns his head and glances back, in this moment pure terror was felt by both Rodd and Ben in the same way prey trembles in front of a predator and by pure instinct the two close the door and immediately run away at full speed grabbing both Spinkle and Nago. Nago stops them and demands an explanation as 4 ghosts phase through everyone’s bodies, and they all fall limp to the ground before being dragged into the room now unable to move. With Mykul on the ship is getting bored because everyone is out besides Mura but they don’t talk, he then comes to Mura and after a while of negotiations convinces him to head towards to base but he makes a quick stop for tea while Mura keeps flying. In the Arena the four have been locked in an the horned man Rodd recognized as Buffa the Zombie Oni from his master’s story he was once told. Flying in from a difficult room is a bird Zoan user named Sparrow and the massive Buffa charges forward as everyone engages in combat excluding Spinkle. During combat Rodd and Ben are having trouble with Buffa as he has such immense strength and skill with Nago giving support with her Beat Guitar but also Buffa has his own support from Sparrow who can attack weak points and make disadvantage for enemies. Coming from the stands of the arena a women in a black dress decorated with red roses stares down at the battle while bursting through a wall is the Warlord of the Island Jinn and two others, they confront the women who is revealed to be Desdemona, a member of Jinn’s crew. Desdemona reveals she has been running this underground arena for the purpose of testing Buffa who she captured, Jinn and to others with him get mad at her actions as Jinn uses his powers to make them all float as they have an aerial battle above the UnDead Cavalry’s battle below. Bullets fly and blades clash as Ben and Buffa are trading attacks with Ben showing off his new Two Sword Style he trained in after Logue Town that allowed him to keep fighting while Rodd and Nago give support while being unable to fight the flying Sparrow, in a loud crash from outside MuraKami and Mykul come rushing in with Mykul using his legs to leap up and take down Sparrow while Mura went after Buffa. With the new added assistance things are looking great as Mykul is taking a one sided victory over Sparrow and Ben,Rodd,and Mura are pushing back Buffa, when all seems good Buffa in annoyance takes his chainsaw sword weapon and slashes three time throwing what looks like 3 Buzz saws at Rodd which hit head on causing a geyser of blood as he falls to the ground and Nago runs to assist him. Even after the fall of Rodd everyone continues to fight with Nago giving medical support to Rodd and Mykul in this time even takes down Sparrow leaving Buffa the only opponent now. Above the conflict below bullets fly as Jinn shoots at Desdemona and she blocks them by summoning ghost like creatures that eat the attacks and the two others with Jinn transform revealing Zoan forms for a Frog and Lion that are floating thanks to Jinn. In the corner of the room Nago is trying to help Rodd while Spinkle is freaking out in the corner but comes to his senses and gives a special potion to him rapidly speeding up the healing process, back to Ben and Mura and together they are dealing great damage to Buffa overwhelming him with the number of attacks they unleashed until Buffa launches the two away before and rushes towards Nago,Spinkle,and Rodd about to instantly kill the 3 who haven’t noticed him. In this moment time seemingly slows for Ben as he runs at full speed to attack Buffa from behind as he fells a surge of power and his blades both flash black as they cut in X shaped mark into Buffa’s back which puts him down and as quick as it came the surge of power for Ben faded. With both fighters of the ground now down Desdemona seeing this uses 2 ghosts to pick them up as she distracts Jinn with exploding Ghosts and heads towards a ceiling hatch with the two unconscious, everyone watches as he bids farewell before flying away and and sealing the exit as the arena starts to shake aggressively and loud booms are heard. In this moment Jinn uses his powers to make a sinkhole and force everyone inside as the underground base explodes and light fills the room blinding everyone. The smoke and light clears after a moment and Jinn in seen with the left side of him scarred and unconscious having seemingly shielded everyone from the blast, his crew takes him and starts to leave as Rodd who wakes from the noise gets his crew to leave the hole aswell. Everyone slowly leaves the hole but finds above that the massive palm tree covering the island took massive damage to the roots, causing the tree to turn and pull some roots with it that are stuck inside of the island, causing crevices and cracks all over resort island to form. The two go there separate ways to regroup and heal as the Undead Cavalry along with Spinkle and Nago talk on the ship, a day passes and they have a visit from the two that was with Jinn who introduced themselves as Kero and Q. Everyone discussed the situation that just happened and Kero says that thanks to them they found out Desdemona was a traitor so they give thanks and in return agree to stop marines from coming after them today but say they will have to be gone tomorrow. The two groups split and after some shenanigans with a panicked Spinkle who has no way to leave Rodd invites Nago and Spinkle to the crew with Nago accepting and Spinkle temporarily joining saying he just needs a ride back home and will stay until they get there, and with these new additions forms the new crew of the UnDead Cavalry.

### Little Garden

Multiple days pass since the crew left Resort Island and there bounties have risen as the news framed them for the explosion and devastation of Resort Island. With new bounties of Ben:$360,000, Rodd:$300,000, Mykul:$270,000, Dory:$290,000, Mura:$300,001, Nago:$150,000 only alive, and Spinkle:$100,000 the crew is happy but also Rodd is irritated that the island explosion was blamed on them. Everyone and the new members have begone settling into the new home and everyone is getting to know each other before a new island is spotted, Nago runs out immediately as she is excited for her first real adventure with people. As the ship arrived they dropped anchor and everyone except Spinkle leap onto the jungle island ahead of them with the former staying behind to watch the ship and work on substances. The crew now walking through the island are ambushed by dinosaurs about the size of them that are quickly slayed before they hear the sound of people deeper in the island. Everyone upon searching deeper find a camp of what seems like bandits talking, MuraKami immediately upon seeing them flys out the trees and begins combat with them while the others walk over to assist. The bandits are being beaten badly and state they won’t let the crew take the Devil Fruit and one bandit tells a group to rush towards the cave. Hearing the mention of a Devil Fruit, Rodd tells the crew to split and chase after the bandits heading towards the fruit. Ben,Mykul,Rodd,and Dory chase after while Mura and Nago stay back, after a quick chase the bandits get used to find the cave before they are dealt with and the fruit capture group enters the cave. Inside the cave lies multiple puzzles but after reaching the end of the tunnel is a large open room filled with glowing crystal and sleeping in the center is a giant old Dinosaur with the crystals growing out it’s back. The beast awakens due to the crew’s entrance and a battle begins, Dory turns into his own dinosaur form and wrestles the beast as Rodd and Ben launch attacks at weak spots. The crew is pushing back this dinosaur before Mykul takes his blade and throws it like a spear at the beast’s head while mixing with it and upon piercing the beast, Mykul leaves the blade and rips the sword out dealing damage to its head and killing it revealing his new technique: Microwave Double. After killing the dinosaur the crew spot a small tree behind the beast, on it they find the Devil fruit and Rodd takes it and they leave to meet with the others. After leaving the cave Rodd and Dory head back to the camp but Mykul and Ben each separately leave to explore the island. Mykul by himself after a few minutes of running around finds a giant chipped and battered sword that is many times bigger than him. On the other side of the island Ben finds a small house made of a material that resembles wax, inside he hears the sound of a transponder snail ringing. Ben approaches and with a little bit of thought answers anyway hearing a voice call out to him, “3! Hey 3! Answer me you fool! Are you there!?”. Ben hearing this decides to act like he is the one the man was calling for and provokes him before hanging up and leaving the house quickly. Rodd and Dory are back with the camp and learn from the beaten bandits that they aren’t bandits and are actually mercenaries that work for Baroque Works. Rodd and Mura argue for a bit before to spite Mura, Rodd eats the Devil fruit and gains the power of the Mochi Mochi no Mi allowing him to create Mochi from his body and he uses this ability to shoot a glob at Mura but he splits it in half and Everyone there including Ben and Mykul are dumbfounded that Rodd would eat the fruit for such a stupid reason. Explosions are heard near the shore close to the ship, everyone rushed back to see a man attacking the ship. After a quick confrontation the crew and the mysterious man fight, in the battle the man is revealed to be Mr.5 an executive officer of Baroque Works and he uses his explosive powers to fight the crew. After a moderate amount of difficulty they beat Mr.5 and take him aboard the ship where he is given to Spinkle hoping he can be woken up as they accidentally knocked him into a coma. The anchor is raised and the crew departs the island with Rodd exploring his new abilities and Nago logging their adventure so far.

### Clown Town

Days pass on the ship with everyone just enjoying a casual day before land is spotted in the distance by Mykul. The ship draws closer and setting anchor the island contains a normal looking town with peaceful civilians walking the streets. Crew disembarks the ship with Spinkle and Murakami being the only ones to remain on the ship, the crew split up with Rodd alone,Dory and Nago together, and Ben and Mykul exploring separately aswell. Mykul running off on his own finds that in the town are clown inspired pirates walking the streets and nobody seems to care but Mykul gains interest in them and starts talking the them. The clown pirates greet him in a emotionless manner and advertise the “ENTERTAINER’S BIG BOMBASTIC SHOW” that takes place today. Rodd wanders around before making his way to a market and stealing a stall to then posing as a Mochi seller and make money. Dory as usual handles the supply restocking as Nago keeps him company and he explains the ins and outs of pirate life to her as she was quite unknowledgeable out how ships are ran. Ben doing his own exploring sees clown pirates heading towards a giant circus tent after having been advertised of the big show. From a distance Ben follows the clowns as he wants to check out the place and as he gets close to the entrance he gets pulled to the side into a bush by a kid. Ben questions the kid but is silenced as the kid explains that his cover was almost blown, he next introduces himself as Kai a self proclaimed “First Class Sea Slug enjoyer”. Ben questions the boy further on why he is here and referring to him as Sea Slug. It is then explained that the town is ruled by a pirate known as the Entertainer, weekly selected residents are taken and sacrificed for the Big Show and Sea Slug’s parents where taken this week and he is trying to sneak in and save them himself. Ben upon hearing decides to help the boy and tells him that he has friends he can get to help the operation and leaves after telling Sea Slug to meet him here before the show. Back at Rodd’s stall he leaves momentarily to ask Spinkle for a substance that will add flavor to his Mochi and before getting a full explanation Rodd takes a substance and leaves later mixing into his Mochi and selling it to a kid. The kid notes that the Mochi was delicious before his head starts abnormally growing causing Rodd to have to flee. Mykul has been Skeddadling around the island and noticed a marine base in the distance which he thought was odd because of the clown pirates but paid it no mind before running into Rodd and later Ben who quickly debriefs the two so they can help. The trio split to gather the rest of the crew and while searching Mykul finds some cages near the circus tent, walking closer they have normal circus animals but he notices two cows which he immediately recognizes. These two cows are the vary same ones that Mykul forget to feed resulting in his Father kicking him out of the farm, seeing them angers Mykul and he steals them and in anger brings them to the ship where they are gifted to Spinkle as “test subjects” for new substances which confuses but also excites Spinkle. Rodd in his search finds Dory and Nago inside of a cafe having a conversation which makes Rodd jokingly question their relationship before explaining the situation and leaving the regroup at the tent in a few hours. As the sun sets and the moon rises people flood into the tent, the crew and Sea Slug each take seats with the plan being to intercept the “sacrifices” brought on stage. The shows starts with the Entertainer making his first appearance and exciting the crown with a few acts before he announces a new act, the child with the inflated head is brought into stage and it is explained that to start the true main event of the show he will be launching into the air and his collar will explode with fireworks. Big Clown pirates with hammers are brought to the stage and get ready to swing down on a lever that will launch the boy, the hammers are swung down and Rodd leaps out of the crowd grabbing the boy and saving him from his fate and taking off his collar. The crowd goes silent and trying to fix the mood causes the Entertainer to summon 15 clown pirates as this is framed like part of the show “DEADLY CLOWN SURVIVAL PARTY” exclaims the Entertainer. Rodd send the kid to run away as he engages in acrobatic combat with the Clowns, making use of the jump pads and ropes all combatants swing around causing the audience to clap in amazement as Dory,Nago, and Sea Slug sneak away hoping to use the delay to save the captured. Rodd seemingly as the upper hand by creating fists of Mochi that destroy a few pirates which are revealed to be robots, the destroyed have self destruction built into them as they explode like bombs around Rodd injuring him as the remaining robots kick and slice at him and now taking the advantage. Ben and Mykul sit in the crowd watching as they agreed to avoid having themselves spotted unless necessary. That time is now as Rodd beating a clown in kicking self destructsin his face almost knocking Rodd unconscious as MuraKami descends ripping through the roof of the tent and mocking Rodd as he states to the Entertainer that his is the main event and challenges the pirate to a death match. Entertainer agrees as he sees this surprise entrance excited the fans and Ben and Mykul declare their participation to the event as they destroy the remaining clowns and Ben picks up ready and leaves the rest to Mura and Mykul as he takes Rodd to a hospital. The battle begins with sword attacks from Mura and Mykul but the Entertainer reveals his Devil fruit called the Ripple Ripple Fruit, which turns his body into a waving flag to dodge the slashes. Using a combination of physical attacks and his Devil fruit which he can use to surprise attack with folded weapons like cannons and knives, the battle is quite equal between the trio lasting for a few minutes with the crowd cheering and applauding which prompts the Entertainer to play around to get the most excitement out of his audience. The tide of battle changes as Ben arrives creating a 3 vs 1, Ben unveils a new technique called “Coffin Nail” where he spins like a drill to pierce his opponent and to great effect as Entertainer has to reveal more hidden weapons. Ben takes a cannon shot at close distance but keeps fighting and Mykul’s weapon is turning into a flag and folded rendering it useless but the trio press their opponent to the edge of the tent and then MuraKami gets the finishing hit calling the closing curtain of the death match and shocking the audience as they are met with a mix of cheers and boos. Mykul decides to loot the body and finds a bow tie,money,a letter,eternal pose to an island marked G-3,and etc. In the letter they it was written by the Entertainer and it was regarding a new order of clowns,animals, and other supplies but further in they also thank someone for keeping the Marines from messing with his affairs which explains the mysterious marine base and finally they see the letter is addressed to a Ziggy Microwave. Upon reading, the duo is shocked as the man the letter is written to has the same family same as Mykul but he has no recollection of this man they then get up and leave as they have to go check on Rodd and Dory’s rescue mission. Sprinting through the town Mykul wore the bow tie and found out that it gives the authority to control the clowns but the group splits to secure Rodd,the ship,and Dory and Ben heads towards the back of the tent to find Nago and Sea Slug with his parents running towards him. Nago frantically explains that Dory stayed back fighting marines to give them a chance to run and Ben takes off telling them to stay safe, on a path big marines are seen carrying an unconscious Dory and Ben charges forth in response. Multiple marines are pushed aside as Ben charges forward but he is eventually grappled to the floor and due to his injuries loses in strength before Mura saves him from capture but by then Dory has been taken out of sight. The crew regroups as Mykul with his new control has Clown pirates look around for Dory as the crew talks and heals with Spinkle’s substances. Healed enough to move the 4 combatants leave the ship as Dory has been found at a marine ship towards the back of the island, rushing there they find a large number of marines and have to fight some clowns as they don’t want to reveal Mykul’s control yet but after a short battle they surmise Dory is on the ship and to sneak on they get the clown pirates aboard the ship to argue with the marines over the pronunciation of gif and stealth past. Everyone goes different paths inside the ship and eventually they run into little animals that look like teddy bears but with the patterns and horns of a giraffe, they approach the crew and then self destruct when close which Rodd somehow manages to predict. After more exploration they find Dory in a cage but before getting close the ship explodes and the cage is grabbed by a giant bird with a marine women standing atop of it, without a word she turns and flys away but they pursue with Rodd attaching Mochi to the cage like a string and Ben takes to the sea to chase from below while Mykul and MuraKami have to fight off the now aware marines. Rodd uses his Mochi to maneuver and dodge shots from the women but she shots of his Mochi string and falls into the water forcing Ben to take him back to land where Rodd is dropped and Ben speeds off to chase after Dory. Shots are fired at Ben but he dodges them with his swimming speed and keeps up with the bird but at a standstill as Ben can’t reach the bird but the marine can’t shoot Ben she decides to rest peacefully while Ben chases, hours pass and Ben gets tired but due to his unwavering will to save Dory he persists managing to swim for 8 hours before passing out in the ocean and watching as Dory is carried away once again. Back on the land Mura,Rodd,and Mykul rush to the ship as they decide to chase Ben and Mykul takes a few clown pirates with him for the journey. The anchor is raised and the sails are set, Sea Slug and his parents thank the crew as they hastily embark to the sea with Rodd revealing he placed a piece of Mochi in the cage that he has learned to use for tracking purposes.

### Marine base G-3

The ship races away from Clown Town to chase after Dory and his captor, Rodd is navigating with his new mochi tracking abilities. Everyone is tense and training for the inevitable battle and after around 8 hours they find a drifting unconscious Ben. They pluck him from the ocean and after a wait he awakens and they share information. The rest of the day passes and as the sun sets the marine island Naval Base G-3 is spotted in the distance. The crew assembles to form a plan as they know Dory is in the island but its coast is walled and blocked with search lights scanning the surrounding oceans. Finally reaching the island the plan begins with the ship haven been spotted but it immediately turns and leaves as Rodd and Mykul on a Mochi nimbus hover over the walls while Mura and Ben prepare to slash a hole into the wall. Alarms sound as both groups have infiltrated thanks to Spinkle using the ship as a distraction, shots fly at the sky duo and they weave through the bullets or block with the cloud. Realizing the disparity of the situation Rodd uses a lot of stamina to launch a meteor shower of Mochi fists that drop onto the attackers and simultaneously providing cover for the ground duo of Ben and Mura. The ground team fight endless waves of enemy marines and reunite with the duo in the sky and now all of them run through the island witnessing hundreds of weird animal species go past them. With the endless waves of enemies MuraKami turns around sick of running and stays to fight the hundreds of marines as the others charge towards the tower using their abilities to move forward. The massive towering Ranch Tower stands in front of the trio and Mykul mixes into the door to unlock it while Rodd blocks incoming attacks with shields, after a moment the door is open and the trio storm the 1st floor with them splitting up into Rodd and Ben leaving Mykul alone. Rodd brings Ben along to sneak through the vents into higher floors while Mykul fights his way through, reaching the 5th floor. The crew is back together and fight a giant mutant crab who was guarding prisoner cells, Rodd goes to one and talks with a bounty hunter that was experimented on by the commanding officer named Billy the Kid. Billy only refers to Rodd by his bounty number which irritates him but they strike a deal in which Billy is released and borrows 2 guns from Rodd to move forth in the tower. On the 6th floor is a jungle like habitat that shakes as a giant gorilla bursts out the trees once the stairs are approached. Billy warned the crew before of the ape so they are ready to fight with them making quick and precise attacks on the beasts as it swings around the artificial jungle, Billy demonstrates that he is a very good shot and easily dodges attacks from the beast showing he is not an average combatant. The gorilla get slain with an attack from Rodd and while taking a short breather they notice Billy missing which causes Rodd to frantically run off as he hasn’t gotten his gun back. Ben and Mykul move forward to the 7th floor, an automated armory guarded by seemingly empty armor suits that move and attack the duo but being swiftly defeated reveal small octopus that control the systems and armor suits. More armor squids appear and Mykul fights as Ben sneaks away determined to make his way to Dory, down below on the 4th floor Rodd has created giant Mochi screw arms breaking apart cells as Billy weaves his way through the attack and debris. The game of cat and mouse continues for some time as eventually Billy surrendereds the guns and continues to run using the time as a way to escape the floor, on the 8th floor Ben pushes pasts tables and old testing equipment with various labels and an ominous room bursting onto the 9th floor, Commodore Ziggy’s office. Within the large safari themed office Ben stares down the short but long limbed marine and charges forth wasting no time but is attacked by giant snakes that he kills but is sneakily grabbed by one hidden snake. Ziggy calls forth his secret weapon a stitch covered man his calls The World-01 to execute Ben. World places his hand on the ground and the floor spawns stitches which open dropping Ben supposedly through the building but Rodd makes it in time with Mykul to catch Ben and the trio stand against Ziggy. The two long limbed folk give each other a disgusting look and Rodd spots Dory in a test tube labeled World-02 and he rushes towards it while Ben and Mykul intercept the stitched soldier. Ziggy calls forth and a bear rug rises revealing a flat bear called Stanley that gets in a grapple with Rodd for Dory’s tank, meanwhile World throws the two across the room and they go back and forth against the beast which proves a challenge. Ziggy in the corner makes a transponder snail call but Rodd tries to spot the call failing as Ziggy already finished his conversation and reveals that the marines have issued a Buster Call on the island and he will escape while the rest of them explode with the island. Ben is going back and forth in a strength battle with World but is on the losing and but making up for it with the assistance of Mykul while still taking devastating damage from the tank of a man. Time passes as Rodd multi tasks claiming Dory while trying to capture Ziggy who is gathering research, Mykul is caught off guard and knocked unconscious by the enemy leaving Ben in a struggle as a wall explodes revealing the wave of cannon fire coming from a fleet of ships. Rodd finally getting Dory from the bear rushes as Ziggy who tries to escape in the mouth of a giant snake worms out the window, Rodd makes it inside with a suit of Mochi attaching Dory to his back and manages to kill the frail marine making the snake spit everyone out which causes Rodd to free fall with Dory unattached and dodge cannon balls. Giant cushion of Mochi is made saves Rodd and Dory with the latter rolling off in the explosions but back in the tower after a bloody battle Mykul gets up and surprises the two with a full force strike on World while his blade sparks black defeating the man and just in time as the shaking tower throws the 3 outside with the two conscious landing on the pad and meeting with Rodd. They rush out in their conditions having retrieved Dory and looking for Mura to make their escape but are met with man sized metal tubes that have been launched releasing what looks like armored warrior robots that surrounded the trio and as the last one flies above them out flies instead a small marine man which emits a blue bubble around the group. After looking they notice it is Goofy Boy from back in their time in the North Blue and the crew is unable to move as he says hi and explains that he is stopping them with a Devil Fruit ability, Rodd unable to move his mouth signals through his eyes to let them go but Goofy Boy explains that in this situation he wants them to live but needs to play it safe since his commanding officer the Vice Admiral Santos stands on his custom battle ship watching from afar. They come to realize in the moment that Dory wasn’t contained in the bubble and plead to be let go but he can’t as the robots surrounding them as programmed to kill if let out the bubble, a horn blaring in the background as a giant ship pulls to the island waving the flag of Fortune D. Kaiser’s Jolly Roger. The robots start to return to their ship suddenly as Goofy boy gets orders to release the crew and a giant looming man named Bartholomew Kuma appears saying he is asked by Kaiser to transport the Undead Cavalry, he assures them that MuraKami has been secured and proceeds to use his Paw Paw fruit to send the crew onto Kaiser’s ship. They land stacked together on the lavish deck with Kaiser sitting in front on top of Mura greeting them as they haven’t met in a long while but Rodd disregards the welcome and yells to be brought back as they haven’t gotten Dory but Kuma claims it is dangerous with the falling towers and intensified explosions. Reluctantly he is sent back to the island and he dashes around debris in search of his friend and locates him under a rock outside of his tank, he tries to lift the rock and Dory wearily tells Rodd to run away as suddenly a giant stitched lion face bursts up as the duo start to move. Rodd feels him being pushed away as Kuma lunges forward to warp him away at the same time and Dory is yanked back with his arm clamped in the mouth of the lion and before he disappears Rodd is told by Dory to give his worries to the crew as he is once again greeted with the sight of the deck. The enraged man gets up and orders to be sent back again but a few seconds later the Rance Tower comes falling down and is told that it is too late involving Rodd to yell at Kaiser but get his face slammed into the floor by a kid who tells him to watch his tone. A small letter falls off Rodd which is opened and revealed to be one that Dory made while in his cage anticipating the outcome of this event, there is a message for each member of the crew which is read out loud silencing all as the ships sails off from the island and the marine vessels are seen still bombarding the island.

##### Kaiser mini arc

Kaiser’s massive vessal, the Grand Treasure Ship or Dai-Takarabune sails away with the Undead Cavalry and on the deck Kaiser gets up from the ground and walks away carrying MuraKami by the collar and telling everyone to come with him. The duo of Rodd and Ben sit distracted by the events that just unfolded inside the of luxurious dinner hall of the Dai-Takarabune, Mykul not unfazed but resilient greatly drowns himself in food to replenish strength after the tough battles they faced. MuraKami leaps into the air above Kaiser and prepares a downward strike on the unsuspecting glutton. As Kaiser rapidly tears through food he dodges the strike by leaning towards the table to grab more food and as he turns to different dishes a flurry of slashes as sent his way with each being avoided without effort. MuraKami is stopped as a towering man in full armor stands having grabbed Mura and Kaiser exclaims that he took too long but also that since they are here he should introduce everyone. The sound of Kaiser’s hands clapping grab everyone’s attention and he says “Listen up guys lemme introduce you to my most trusted crew mates”. The man in armor, “Battle God” Bishamonten, a tall motherly looking women “Charity God” Tyche, a young boy “Playful God” Caerus, a man covered in robes “Wisdom God” Shai, and a rotund man with a large fish on his back “Harvest God” Ebisu stand beside their captain. They all take seats at the table and The feast continues. After an hour the crew is brought by some of Kaiser’s crew to guest rooms for them to rest. Bright and early in the morning Rodd is awoken by the sound of something crashing through the wall which is none other than Mura and Kaiser sluggishly walks through the hole apologizing and greeting Rodd as Mura lunges at him and he is slapped away through more walls. Rodd talks to Kaiser and gets to the topic of Haki as he has seen it being used before and asks to be taught and which Kaiser agrees but his explanation of the ability is a amalgamation of made up words and noises which makes Rodd resend his request. Kaiser breaks through another wall to Ben’s room and informs him that there was a call for him from a unknown man which Ben decides to accept. Ben calls on a transponder Snail and talks to someone who claims to have met Ben during their time as a slave and asks to meet whenever Ben makes his way to Fish-Man Island. Hours later the crew now feeling better are on the deck but with determination to get stronger Rodd challenges Mura to a duel. The clash begins with them matching strength for a while before Rodd gains dominance and is on the cuff of victory before Ben jumps into the match and strikes the two quickly which takes them both out. The two dueling argue with Ben for the interception of their bought before the man shrouded in armor Bishamonten appears, he doesn’t speak much be gets Ben to follow him to the back of the ship where he gives some instructions and demonstrates him using Haki on his weapon to slash the air which creates a rift in the water. Ben follows this example for hours and finally summons Haki for his slash once but can’t resummon the feeling and continues striking for hours while everyone else goes about their day. Days pass and Kaiser gathers the Undead Cavalry as he informs them that he had sent Bartholomew Kuma to search for their ship which took time but it has been located. After goodbyes the crew are one by one sent away thanks to the paw paw fruit but MuraKami refuses to leave and in response Kaiser drop kicks him into Kuma sending him away too. Time passes and the four crash into the ship reuniting with Spinkle who already knows the news of Dory from the paper and explains that Nago was quite distraught and is sleeping in her room to which the rest of the crew also decide the rest and relax the rest of the day.
