On the choppy waters of the Wano Seas, the Hero Alliance forces were together. While three of the hero groups were respectively on Luffy and Kidd's ships, S pirit Force was naturally aboard Baozhai's ship, the Teotul. The others were all in ships built for them with the help of the architect Olog Ar-Kaius, and Kin'emon and the Red Scabbards were ferried on the Polar Tang.

"Phew. I was worried the bombers that ambushed us were gonna take out the vessels built for us, but they held up way more than I thought." Gemini said. "The only things that did get destroyed were the sails."

"You really went all out on these. Thanks a bunch, Ar-Kaius!" Hagakure called to the Olog.

"Haha! Merely applying my best work to its full potential!" Ar-Kaius laughed. "These foolish pirates will break before us, thanks to my craftsmanship!"

"Too bad David's not here to see the look on Kanjuro and these guys' faces." Ragna said. "Guess he couldn't wait to get over to Onigashima for infiltration."

"I happen to be very punctual, Ragna. Besides, these guys aren't worth the trouble of wiping out myself." David said on the comm.

"Just make sure you stay quiet over there and wait for us. Don't want you taking on their entire forces by yourself." Alphen said.

"Don't worry. I know how to keep up an act." David said.

"Ain't that the truth." Flamberge said. "And don't worry. Franny's in charge on your team's end while you're over there."

"Just as I planned it. Guess I didn't need to fake my death, after all." David said.

"Fake his death? Is he serious?" Law asked.

"A dead man can't lead an operation like this, after all." David said.

"I almost forgot about just how hardcore that guy is…" Peacock said, amiddently a little nervous.

"Considering this is the same guy who takes on Akainu without hesitation? Hardcore is an understatment." Barry chuckled.

"Which is why he makes the perfect mole for us." Emi said with a smile. "Well, at least we know that hasn't changed."

Meanwhile, Kin'emon was being hazed a little by his fellow Scabbards.

"Just be honest with us, Kin'emon." Inuarashi said.

"It all turned out okay, so we won't be mad if you tell the truth." Kawamatsu added, rubbing a knuckle in his face.

"You really did think it was Tokage Port all along, didnt you?" Raizo asked, doing the same on the other side.

"Stop it." Kin'emon insisted.

"It all turned out for the best anyway. It was just a lucky mistake." Kiku interjected.

"...Perhaps I will die in the battle ahead." Kin'emon said, surprising his comrades. "It feels as though I've just used up an entire lifetime's worth of good luck."

"(He's not kidding about being lucky…)" Inuaraisi thought.

"We share the same goal, so if anything, you've been channeling our good luck too." a man colored all pink by the name of Ashura-doji piped in.

"They're right, Kin. We won't let you die alone!" Kiku said.

"We served Lord Oden together." Inuaraishi said.

"We might've been born apart, but we'll die together!" Ashura said.

"Raise your sword, Kin! We'll win this opening battle for sure!" Denjiro called.

"I accept this fate then! Let us avenge Lord Oden and free the Land of Wano, together!" Kin'emon announced as all samurai and allies cheered loudly.

At the same time, the Beast Pirates were having a very different reaction…

"Look at all of them!" one pirate said in shock. "Even outnumbered by thousands, they-!"

"Get your head together!" a leading pirate ordered. "We can still call Onigashima and warn them!"

"I already tried! They won't pick up because of the festival!" another pirate said. "What do we do!?"

"D-Damn it…" the lead pirate growled. "Let's retreat for now! We can still get to Onigashima ahead of them!"

"I'm afraid that's not going to happen." Francisca said.

"That's right, the moment that you were in sight of us… none of you are making it to Onigashima." Richard declared, before throwing his hand out in a commanding gesture. "United KANSEN Navy, engage. Battleships and carriers… I mean, carrier, rain hell on the enemy ships. Vanguards, pincer them and leave them no escape route. As for you heroes… feel free to join the fun, you guys would handle the enemy commanders here better than the KANSEN."

"Understood." Enterprise answered back, before she then formed the bow in her hands, as arrows of golden light appeared in her hand. "USS Enterprise… engaging."

Enterprise then fired her arrows, as they turned into F6F-5 Hellcats, launching from her bow as they grew to their rightful size and started attacking the two retreating ships, launching bombs and firing vulcans that cut down the on-board crew.

"Whoa, awesome! She's just like an actual Aircraft carrier!" Flamberge said.

"Heh, nothing less to be expected for our Enterprise." Washington smirked, before she then aimed her cannons. "But I don't intend to be outdone. So keep the way clear… because the Queen of Iron-Bottom Sound is about to unleash herself!"

Washington then began to bombard the retreating ships, as the massive shells that she fired from the cannons, caused fires to break out all across the ships, as their massive cannon complement was continuously dwindling, and they began to slow from the damage that they were taking.

"We're losing speed!" a Beast Pirate yelled.

"Dammit! No one told us we'd be facing living ships!" another said.

"Grrr…this is bad. I need to make my report." Kanjuro said as he created a crane as he took off with Momonosuke.

"Everyone, look! Kanjuro's making a break for it!" Bow noticed.

"Huh?! Where's he going with Momo?" Luffy asked.

"Luffy, he was a spy for the enemy this whole time. I bet he was ever since you met him on Dressrosa." Catra said.

"What?! For real? That jerk!" Luffy said.

"Don't call him that, it's an insult to jerks everywhere." Kazuma said. "So, how're we gonna stop him?!"

"We'll shoot him down from the…what the?" Usopp said as black clouds were being produced from Kanjuro's hair.

"Ink Clouds!" Kanjuro called out.

"Be wary everyone, I have a bad feeling about this!" Kin'emon said. "He is doing something."

"Rain down, ink arrows!" Kanjuro called out as multiple drops of ink began to fall like rain, a number of them breaking boxes and injuring some of the soldiers. "Ukiyo Portrait: Evening Shower!"

"Defend yourselves!" Dimitri ordered as the groups and their allies used whatever at their disposal to block the sharp ink rain.

"Lady Amagi, look out!" IJN Myoukou remarked, as she saw that there was a cluster of ink arrows heading towards Amagi, as she accelerated rapidly in front of the battle-cruiser, using her anti-air to destroy several of the incoming arrows, before the rest hit her, as they did considerable damage, denting her rigging, and even taking out one of her cannons. "This is nothing compared to the perils I face…!"

"Myoukou…" Amagi remarked with worry.

"Well, that is one hell of a barrage, and he's got your ally in his hand, meaning we can't attack without worry." Gus cursed. "There has to be a way to deter him, or even better, free Momonosuke…"

"Do not fret about me!" Momonosuke called out. "That's what the enemy wants you to do. I'll…I'll find my own escape on my own!" he called out as he cried. "Destroy Kaido and Orochi, and protect Wano!"

"You heard the man. Let us bring our attention to the enemy at hand for now." Francisca said.

"Hey! Momo! For a cowardly dumb little brat…you're just a kid with a topknot who's all talk!" Luffy called out. "Just stay alive and we'll go rescue you. Cuz we're pals!"

Momonosuke was in tears as the crane flew away from the battle and towards Onigashima.

"Now… Is there a full moon out tonight?" Glacius asked.

"Yeah, but it's a little covered by the storm at the moment. Skies will probably clear when we get to the island." Hope said.

"Ah, well… I'll take what I can get. I guess I can still sic these two on the cluster of ships once we get close." Glacius said motioning to a restrained Cheetah and Valfor.

"Let's get going then." Hope said. "Kanjuro bought those ships some time, so we're playing catchup a bit. But that's not an issue."

"Uh…but that probably is! Incoming!" Pit said as they ducked down as enemy fire was hitting some of the ships.

"No way! They got a long range cannon!" Franky said.

"I see three of 'em on one of the ships!" Connor said looking through some binoculars. "Damn, Kaido's weapons factories pump out some high quality goods."

"Don't worry…I've got an ace for this." Jexi said. "You're clear."

"Right. Spear Wave!" a voice called out as water pierced through the cannon holding ship. "Though I've been with the group for awhile, I've yet to make my proper introduction on my homeworld here. So…I'll say it like this." they said as they saw Jimbei sitting there. "I am the Knight of the Sea, Jimbei. The Helmsman of the Straw Hat Pirates."

"He's on the Straw Hats?!" Kidd asked in surprise.

"He sure has!" Peacock said. "He's been with them this whole time. But this is the first time they've made it official to everyone."

"You've been with the heroes for a while, didn't you see him?" Ethox asked.

"To be fair…I recruited a lot of people on their behalf that didn't stay long." Hope said.

"...Okay, that works." Ethox nodded.

"With the sniper ship down, we can move in and take out the last one." DW said.

"Time to let them loose." Glacius said, loosening Cheetah and Valfor's restraints as they got closer. "Get 'em!"

"What?" a Beast Pirate said as he saw the two in question leap onto the deck of his ship. "O-oh god… This is not good. S-stay away! I'm not afraid to wipe you out if that's what it takes!"

"The question is… Can you?" Valfor asked. "I think you might be a bit out of luck here."

"I, uh, I…" the Beast Pirate stammered as he could feel the aura of bloodlust coming off of the two. "...I am a dead man, aren't I?"

"In every sense of the word." Cheetah said.

With those words…the hunt began.

"Y'know, it's times like this I'm glad we joined up after Cheetah mellowed out somewhat." Emo stated as the group watched Cheetah and Valfor maul everyone on the ship. "I would not want her as an enemy."

"In a way, I guess you guys were pretty lucky when they came to your world too." Glimmer mentioned to the Brionac group.

"In more ways than one. Seeing them let loose like this makes us glad they're on our side." Galil said.

"In a way, a lot of us feel that way." Francisca said.

"Take it from someone that actually faced her as an enemy." Sectonia said. "When push comes to shove, she is someone you want as an ally, no matter what it takes."

"I am so glad we never had to fight them…" Rista said, her face pale as they watched the carnage on the Beast Pirate's ship start to wind down. "Can you imagine if Ethox decided to fight Theo…?"

"Let's not, thanks." Ethox said.

"Hmm…I don't see the Straw Hats or Dimensional Heroes ships." Siege pondered.

"Oh…they went ahead towards that gate thing." Mio said.

"Not good. I forgot to warn them about the guards at the Tori Gate." Denjiro said.

"Dammit, I overlooked that!" UI said. "In front of the island, there is a Torii that acts like a small fortress. There are guards there, likely celebrating as part of the festival. If they get altered, then…!"

"Hey UI, think you're forgetting who we're talking about here." Hope said.

They looked to the Tori Gate as they saw the Dimensional Heroes and Straw Hats going wild before every single guard was taken out.

UI chuckled. "Of course. I've been away from this team for so long, I've forgotten just how strong our friends really are."

"They took out an entire fortress of guards like that?!" some of the soldiers said in surprise.

"Look at the guns on that thing. If the KANSENs got in range of those things, we'd have a few casualties." Betty said.

"But…the Dimensional Heroes prove that to be nothing to worry over." Darkrai said.

"Hmm? Oh…hey guys." Jexi said as his group sat near the defeated guards.

"What the heck are you guys doing over there?" Ty asked.

"We wanted to toast our official announcement." Zoro said, coming back with some beer.

"And that would be?" Rutee asked.

"Announcing Jimbei to our own world as our crewmate. So let's…" Luffy said.

"Actually…maybe we should hold off, please?" Theo asked.

"Kids right." Baozhai said. "This is something that's held for AFTER we take care of business."

"Yeah. Let's hold off for now. Then after we beat everyone…we'll have the biggest and best party yet!" Luffy said as the Dimensional Heroes cheered.

"Oh, I would like that. Now we have to succeed, no matter what." Francisca said.

"So they've come. Hmhmhm. I look forward to seeing how things unfold." Rime said from a hidden spot before disappearing.

"She's right. The real operation starts now." Glacius said.

"Indeed. Steel yourselves!" Kin'emon said. "Denjiro, I trust you've kept your combat prowess?"

"Please. If I hadn't, these last 20 years would have been a waste." Denjiro said.

"Hah! Sorry for the wait! Let's end this now!" Kin'emon said.

Inside of the Skull Dome, the Beast Pirates, Demon Lord soldiers and Shadow Knights were partying like there was no tomorrow as David stood near Orochi and Kaido.

"Where is he? Where is my son? Urp. This is a feast." Kaido said as he drank.

"He seems to have gone missing, esteemed sir." a servant said.

"Sir. All six of the Tobi Roppo are here. Shall I send them in?" another servant asked.

"Yes. They should at least meet Linlin. Where is she?" Kaido asked.

"She's currently changing into a kimono." a servant said.

"Eh?" Kaido said in surprise.

"Sir…the Tobi Roppo have arrived." the servant said as six figures walked right into the room.

"That stupid Queen. He's dancing out there singing about how we're arrogant punks-arinsu. The nerve-arinsu." said the one known as Ulti.

"Is this another one of your weird trends? Stop it. It's embarrassing." spoke Page One.

"Aww! Pay-Pay, you don't have to be ashamed-arinsu!" Ulti spoke cutely as she hugged her brother as they walked.

"Don't call me Pay-Pay!" Page One protested.

Whos-Who, the former CP9 agent gone rouge, let out a puff of smoke. "I'm just spitballing here… but if Queen were to die, say tonight, who'd take his place as All-Star, I wonder?"

"I suppose you think that would be you." spoke Black Maria.

"I have no interest." X Drake said.

"If you're dropping out as a candidate, Pay-Pay should drop out too. He can't cut it either." Sasaki said.

"What?!" Page One said.

"Didn't you let that idiot named Soba Mask escape you in town? No way you're worth it." Sasaki said.

"Hey, Sasaki! Keep insulting my Pay-Pay and I'll break you in two!" Ulti threatened.

"I said stop it, sis!" Page One said.

"Don't tell me to stop!" Ulti yelled as she pounced on her brother.

"You little brats are so annoying with your screeching…" Whos-Who groaned.

"I love it when Ully will snap at anyone~." Black Maria said.

"Why did they call us here? Just to make us wait?" X Drake said.

"They said it's urgent. And when Kaido says 'urgent'..." Sasaki said.

"Another family issue, then? Is Kaido stupid or something?" Ulti said.

"Snap at anything except that!" They all said.
