My name is Ty Takahashi, and I'm just an Ordinary Yakuza who's become an Adventurer. I got that way because I didn't really have the most stellar of stints as a team leader. After my team split, I joined Mythos Hearts and worked my way up from Intern to full time adventurer. But I never really forgot where I came from. Evident enough because I feel so proud to be fighting alongside some of Wano's most dangerous Yakuza Bosses, which include the most revered of them all… Hyogoro the Flower. But right now, even that's pretty chaotic. Because I'm in the middle of an Ice Oni Apocalypse while the Team medics race against the clock to make a cure for it.

Good times.

Performance Floor, Inside the Skull Dome…

"Agh!" Pyra exclaimed as she was sent flying back by an attack. "The longer we fight… the longer we keep others waiting for backup!"

"Not… like we have a choice in the matter…!" Mythra groaned as she sat up.

"Stand strong. We must fight for Siege!" Lucia declared, still on her feet.

"Stay strong, you three! We can't let this end badly!" Ty said as he punched a Mimawarigumi member aside. "Ginseng, how's that cure coming?!"

"I'm mixing it as fast as I can!" Ginseng said, mixing the concoction with her Pestile at rapid speed. "We're all pitching in to help Chopper as much as we can, but it's difficult with the ice oni around us."

"Then allow me to alleviate your troubles." Rime said.

"No, Rime, not yet! If you use a summon in a room like this, it could end up hitting friend and foe alike." Ty said.

"My strength is not just in summoning. Have you forgotten I am a sorceress?" Rime said.

"Sorry, I haven't known you very long." Ty said.

"It is understandable." Rime said before waving her arm. "Right through!" she said, unleashing a fusillade of magic arrows at the Ice Oni surrounding them.

"Thanks for that, but watch your fire! Some of these Ice Oni are infected allies." Ty said, hitting back another enemy samurai.

"They are merely being stunned, so do not worry." Rime said as an enemy samurai closed in on her. "Destruction!" she said as three lances popped out from portals around her as they sent the samurai flying.

"Dammit!" Apoo said as he was with a few Beast Pirates. "Can't believe we've gotta deal with a turncoat Shadow Knight now! This night just keeps getting worse! As if I already have too much on my plate with that werewolf girl trying to kill me every five seconds!"

"Oh, I'm going to get more and more into the hunt. Just do me a favor and stay still." Velouria stated, as she lunged at Apoo, managing to graze him slightly this time. "The sooner you give up, the less chance I'll tear you to shreds. I wonder what will happen if I do? After all, you're a living instrument…"

"She's not the only one you gotta worry about." Valfor said as he and Rayleigh were right in front of Apoo.

"Agh, if it's not one thing it's another…" Apoo said.

"But sir, it's not just them either! The raccoon and those medics have more than just Rime defending them." a beast pirate said, revealing X. Drake in his hybrid form and Hyogoro in a half infected state, but looking more like he did in his youth as he was taller and more burlier with his hair grown down to the middle of his back. "We also have to deal with X. Drake who's joined the enemy for some reason, And the sudden arrival of the Legendary Yakuza Boss, Hyogoro the Flower! We can't get close to them!"

"Why does he look like that? He was a tiny old geezer a second ago!" a Mimawarigumi member commented.

"Somehow he's reverted to the strength he had when Kaido was so relentless in trying to recruit him." another said.

"It's possibly due to Queen's latest virus." A voice said as appearing from the darkness was an elderly man that was pale white with black sclera in robes as he held a tome.

Bishop of Those Who Slither in the Dark

Solon

"Lord Solon!" a Beast Pirate said.

"I don't know how it's possible, but Hyogoro's exposure to the virus has brought out his latent potential bringing him back to the form of his glory days." Solon said. "I wonder if Queen ever accounted for this unexpected result. Still it is impressive for an old beast like him to regain lost strength this way."

"It's…so cold. But I've always had a strong grip on my mind." Hyogoro said. "Bringing out what little I have left. But I will use it to cut down their forces. Hear me out, Yakuza leaders! If the tanuki cannot finish the cure with the others…and I turn to an ice oni…please…cut me down where I stand!"

"Understood. Let us hope it doesn't come to that." Kabuki said.

"He's truly serious about this." Ty said.

"Hmm…he will be a problem." Nitez assessed.

"Nitez." Rime said.

"Move, Rime. I must cut that man down." Nitez said.

"Unfortunately…I cannot let you." Rime said.

"No worries…we'll do the job for you!" Hotei said as he and the enemy samurai and ninja leapt at the man.

"Flower One Sword Style…" Hyogoro said. "Flaming Hair of Holy Rage!" he called out, taking out all the ninja and enemy samurai in one swing.

"Wow!" Nuna said.

"He cut down every single Ninja and Samurai on Kaido's side in just one strike!" Caspar said.

"Very impressive." Yuzuriha said.

"(Hah… let me tell you, Oden. At times, I think about what would've been if I had challenged Kaido together with you in my highest peak. Yet here your disciples have come, pulling off this raid in your name. And I gained a fascinating apprentice as well. I am certain…dawn will come to Wano.)" Hyogoro thought as he stood there.

"I will end this man now!" Nitez said, lunging at the Yakuza as Ty stood there before lifting a leg and sending the Shadow Knight straight into the ground with it.

"No one…touches him! Hear me?!" Ty called out.

"Whoa, Ty's fired up!" Makoto said.

"He's out here fighting alongside Wano's greatest Yakuza bosses. Guess this is him getting in touch with his roots as a yakuza." Subaru said.

"He took out Nitez…with just a kick…" Rime said in surprise.

"Heh. Kaido's not the only Dragon on this island." Ty said to her. "The Steel Dragon's spittin' fire again!"

"Young man… you are indeed like us." Hyogoro said as the bosses prepared to cut him down.

"Oh…boss! Boss!" some of the waiters and pleasures called out to Queen. "Why do we gotta die like this?"

"Huh? Oh just shut up, you nobodies!" Queen called out. "Ice Oni is my masterpiece. In a way, I made it just for you."

"What?!" some of them asked.

"You Pleasures! You already took a gamble to gain powers and lost. Now all you do is laugh. You're dead weight! And you Waiters, you just wait for the chance to get powers. SMILE's can no longer be produced! Besides, we can always get more soldiers to replace you guys in the long run." Queen said.

"So… That's how you view your men, eh?" David asked.

"So you finally show your true colors." Tanya said.

"Please. They were showing long before now. Remember Anima City? Those feral beastmen were members of the crew I injected with the Werewolf Virus, a virus made to turn humans into savage beastmen!" Queen said.

"You sick, depraving man… There is no hope for you." Valfor said.

"What kind of monster are you…" Pyra asked in sheer shock.

"Mahahahaha! I am a scientist! I make viruses for a living and this is my crown jewel! You all have purpose tonight. And that is to die by its hand!" Queen said.

"You disgust me beyond words." Gus growled, as he tried to keep the room temperature high enough to slow the infection process of everyone within.

"As if!" Mythra exclaimed in anger. "A sick, sorry… individual like you… no… Monster like you… NEEDS TO GO TO HELL!"

"Hahaha! Please. We're pirates! We stab each other in the back all the time!" Queen said laughing as Hyogoro was almost beheaded before a hoof stopped the sword.

"I…I did it! I made it just in time!" Chopper said, looking completely Ice Oni free.

"Chopper! You made it." Kabuki said.

"Yes. The cure has been made." Akhekh said.

"Medical Corps! Prep it!" Chopper said.

"It's ready!" Marianne said as a cannon was brought out.

"This is gonna sting!" Ginseng said.

"H-Here it comes!" Mikan said as the cannon fired as a large plume of gas filled the room with the mushroom cloud having a cute face in it.

"Chopperphage Nebulizer! Everyone who is infected…breathe in the mist and the virus will be purged and eradicated from your bodies! Just trust me!" Chopper said.

"You heard him, Gus! Take a breath of fresh air!" Ty said.

Gus nodded, as he inhaled deeply, before the ice on his body began to recede at an alarming rate, while his own strength began to return, due to the affliction disappearing from him.

"It works… Everyone else, keep the jaws of the infected open! We need to counter this plague quickly!" Gus exclaimed, before he then pointed his blade at Queen. "And as for you… There will be no more suffering."

Gus then fired an arrow of fire right towards Queen, which surprised him, as the fire arrow hit the gatling gun itself, melting it into slag, as the portly All-Star flinched with shaking hands.

"How…how did you…" Queen said.

"It would be impossible to inject everyone infected. So I used the antibodies to make our own virus." Chopper said.

"You can stop a bad virus with a good one." Ginseng said, adjusting her glasses. "After we figured out the method, all we needed to do was deliver it in the form of this mist."

"But why bother curing my guys?" Queen said.

"Viruses aren't meant to be used as weapons. In the end, they always slip out of your control!" Chopper said.

"Looks like you should take better care of your men, Queen… If you even have any left." David said.

"I don't need to take lessons in ethics from a stupid tanuki!" Queen said, firing at Chopper.

"Look out, Mr. Tanuki!" said some Waiters and Pleasures as they blocked the shot.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Queen shouted in anger.

"Isn't it obvious? They know who treats them better." Lucia answered.

"She's right, Queen! If we have to choose how we die…we'd rather die on the side of the guy who saved our lives." one of the Pleasures said.

One by one, everybody was giving Chopper praise for his efforts, though they were calling him a Tanuki instead of what he really was.

"Why you…!" Queen said going full Brachiosaurus before being grabbed by Marco the Phoenix.

"Nice work, Tanuki…now pop him." Marco the Phoenix said.

"Thanks." Chopper said as he took a Rumble Ball as he entered Monster Point. "I just wanna make one thing clear to everyone in this room." he said before slapping Queen right in the face. "I'M NOT A TANUKI!"

"(Oh… sorry!)" everyone who called him that thought.

Mythra couldn't help but snicker at not just the declaration, but the hella slap to Queen's face. "Talk about a bitch slap." Mythra said without any regrets as Pyra looked at her with a deadpan expression.

"Really, Mythra?" Pyra asked.

"Hey, it's the truth." Mythra chuckled.

"Pyra, Mythra, Lucia!" Ty called to the three. "Thanks for the help down here, we got things now. You thinking of staying here or heading off to help elsewhere?"

"Siege told us to help David fight King. So we kind of need to stick with him." Mythra said.

"I meanwhile have no ties here. I shall search for other areas to help." Lucia would say, before looking to Pyra and Mythra. "Keep safe."

"Hey, we gotta. Siege wants us all out alive… unlike the last go-round." Mythra said, nudging back to the aspect of Siege's mission to the shared world they and Rinkah came from.

Lucia nodded her head, before she rushed off.

"Both Pyra and Mythra in the same space, huh? Rex must've been one lucky guy to have the both of you by his side." David said.

"Well… he was." Pyra said, seeming to be a little… distraught by the mention of Rex.

"Look, forget about it. We have our mission, Pyra. It's our job to finish it." Mythra said.

"Right. Sorry. I didn't mean to trigger any bad memories." David said.

"Let me put it this way." Pyra said. "Siege wasn't as heartbroken or easily triggered on the subject of fallen allies before he came to our world…"

"And that's all you're getting." Mythra sharply said. "You want more, talk to Siege."

"No need, I understand the feeling quite well." David said.

"Good. Now let's carve our way to King, shall we." Mythra declared.

"Right. Hope he's ready. Though… I somehow get the feeling he won't be easy to break through. Might need to pull out all the stops with that guy." David said.

"We'll do what we can to help." Pyra said.

"Best of luck to you three." Rime said.

Meanwhile, the Red Scabbards were running to find Momonosuke off the heels of nearly avoiding a deadly trap set by Kanjuro, at the cost of Ashuradoji's life. But they didn't get far before running straight into the one who was after them.

"Jack!" Nekomamushi said.

"That took longer than I thought…I had to break through all these flies, desperate to protect their kings." Jack said as he had a slew of unconscious and heavily wounded Minks in his wake.

"Raizo, Cat! Hurry on ahead!" Inuarashi said as the other scabbards obliged.

"You intend to stop me on your own, King of the Day?" Jack asked.

"Who said he was alone!?" A voice called out as red claw beams shot at Jack.

"Not those two again…" Jack said, seeing Hop and Rinkah. "Annoying little flies."

"Hah. I was just going easy on ya." Rinkah smirked as she cracked her knuckles. "I ain't gonna be so easy this time when I break you in two."

"Heh…there aren't any moons for the dog." Jack said.

"Nor is there any poisonous gas. Guess we all have to make do." Inuarashi said.

"I can take you out myself if I wanted to." Rinkah smirked as Hop face palmed.

"You did not just say that." Hop groaned.

"Hey, I didn't give 100% last time." Rinkah admitted.

"You didn't!?" Hop exclaimed.

"And you did?" Rinkah quipped.

"Whatever efforts the both of you gave, you managed to damage Jack this much already." Inuarashi said. "Now let's work together to finish him. I'm not fighting him for the sake of the past. I'm doing this so that he can't create any new victims."

"Yeah. We can agree on that." Rinkah said as she immediately went into Warlord state. "Let's take him down."

Hop's aura flared as she took her stance.

As that battle was beginning, the explosion Kanjuro created turned into a blazing fire in the treasure repository as a familiar face still alive watched in the shadows.

"Now…it's our chance!" they said as they started setting fire to the hallway.

Hop, her senses as sensitive as they were being a cat, immediately caught whiff of the smoke making her cough profusely, as Rinkah turned to her.

"Hop? What's the matter with you!?" Rinkah exclaimed.

"Fire… there's a… *cough splutter* Fire nearby!" Hop coughed.

"Kanjuro's decoy…it must have started a fire and it's spreading." Inuarashi said. "And since we're in the air, getting water from the sea is out of the question."

"You need to get out of here, Hop." Rinkah said. "I can handle Jack."

"No! *cough cough* I can fight still… I…!" Hop coughed.

"Damnit would you listen to me for once!? Inuarashi and I can handle this, get out of here and get out of the smoke range! I'll call you if we need help!" Rinkah exclaimed.

"...Damn you… *cough cough* Fine…" Hop coughed as she weakly retreated.

"Hopefully she can manage to warn some of our allies so we all don't fall victim to this deadly blaze." Inuarashi said. "Though…to spread so quickly…how could this have happened?" he pondered.

In the halls of the castle, a figure was lighting them up with a torch as he went on his merry way.

"Betraying me was the last mistake you fools will ever make. Kaido, Tormal, Zenos Road. You three idiots will regret making enemies of me!" they laughed as the figure was shown to be Orochi. "I'll burn everyone here alive and escape to tell the tale! No one gets away with betraying me!" he said laughing crazily.

While he was doing this, Team Jungle Cats was hot on his trail.

"I smell smoke coming from further away… that's gotta be Orochi goin' nuts!" Roxy said.

"He's started a fire? That's crazy. He'll kill himself too." Esmeralda said.

"I'd imagine he'd have some sort of contingency plan in mind. Orochi… He really is one twisted snake." Glacius said. "No matter what happens, we can't let him escape alive. We have to cut all of his heads this time."

The group would hear coughing and hacking not far up from them, belonging to Hop, with her senses dulled, having tried to get away from the fire.

"It's the ninja from Siege's group… hop, i believe it was." Cheetah said.

"Are you okay? Here…drink." Glacius said, giving her some water.

Hop eagerly took it and drank, gasping for air as she coughed a bit more. "Fire… fire… it started in the treasure room I think… I smell a lot of gold burning…" Hop coughed.

"This is the work of Orochi. We're close. We'll be able to catch him and possibly pincer him between us and the Scabbards." Cheetah said.

"It's spreading fast… Hallway to hallway I catch whiffs of it… *Cough cough* He… must be spreading it fast…" Hop weakly said.

"Let's hurry, then. We don't have time to waste. Every moment we spend looking is a moment he roams freely." Nesma said.

"Last whiff I caught… to the west. Try there… I have to get clean air…" Hop coughed as she continued away from the flames.

"We hope for your safety, Hop…" Cheetah said. "Let's move!"

On the Skull Dome's roof….

"Gah!" Luffy called out as he was launched backwards.

"This isn't getting us anywhere. Those two take our attacks like it doesn't even affect them." Jexi said.

"Tch…" Siege grunted. "I don't want to show my hand too early… but we're running out of options here…"

"And the two of them standing side by side like that…" Kidd said, looking at the crazed Emperors, Kaido himself in his hybrid state, covered in blue scales. "It's almost as if we're in hell."

"That suits me fine." Luffy said. "I've been to hell and back lots of times. Its home territory." Luffy smiled.

"The light never seems to leave your eyes, does it?" Kaido said, enjoying all this as much as some of them were.

"Nope. And it never will unless you kill us!" Siege smirked. "And with us fighting together, you'll never get the chance!"

"I have an idea…but we'll need to split them up." Trafalgar Law said.

"I talk about us fighting together and you go in about splitting them up…" Siege joked. "Go ahead."

"And it's impossible to…" Hope said looking to Big Mom. "Ah…I see where you're going now."

"You know…we can hear you brats!" the two emperors said, pulling their weapons back. "Conquest of the Sea!" they said, unleashing a powerful joint blast at them.

"Not here!" Siege exclaimed, rushing in front of the blow.

"Siege, what are you doing!?" Hope exclaimed as Siege took the shot, holding it back as long as he could….

But he couldn't hold it forever.

"GAAAAAAH!" Siege yelled as he crashed through the roof of the Skull Dome from the blast, ending up who knew where in the flying island.

"Siege! That looked bad, hope he's okay." Hope said as the others used the time he bought to evade the blast.

"He'll be fine. Besides, he bought us the time we need." Jexi said as Luffy fought with Kaido.

Down wherever Siege was…

"*cough*" Siege coughed as some blood hit the floor. "Hah… maybe… bit off more than I could chew…"

Siege managed to weakly sit up and gauge his surroundings, as he heard something nearby.

"...Oh crap is that…" Siege said as he went to move, thinking Ulti and Page One were heading right for where he was.

"I think they went down this way. Those guys won't…" Page One said as the two rounded the corner in dinosaur form where they saw Siege. "Huh? Who is this guy?"

"Kgh… oh dammit…" Siege growled as he saw Page One. "This isn't good…"

"There! Found you!" The Brazilian accent of Sam yelled as a red slash wave shot at Page One!

"Ugh…it's that cyborg samurai. He's getting on my nerves!" Ulti said.

Siege, knowing that he was weak prey in the sights of the dinos, got up to try and escape as Sam, Noah, Mio, and Koyomi confronted Ulti and Page One.

"Why run away when we're trying to get you kids to see the better lives for yourselves!?" Sam exclaimed.

"Did you say we're running? We're not running!" Ulti said. "We're chasing down those three on the dog! That woman's gonna pay!"

"Well congratulations. You got baited." Sam smirked. "They led you to this room on purpose. The entrances! Now!"

With roars, Noah and Mio slashed the supports, caving in all entrances and exits in the room, nearly crushing Siege had he not dodged.

"Gahk… damnit…" Siege whispered as he backed into a corner hoping to stay hidden.

"You guys just don't wanna give up, do you?" Page One asked.

"Not when we can change you two for the better." Sam said as he drew his sword. "Keep resisting and you'll keep getting cut."

"Are you still going on about that? It's not gonna happen! We serve Kaido out of loyalty and rising the ranks!" Ulti said.

"You idiotas! When will you see what you can become when you fight for greater purposes than tearing familias like yourselves apart!?" Sam exclaimed.

"Jeez… Sam is really intent on making sure these two change." Siege thought as he tried to subtly self heal, keeping the aura low in hopes he wouldn't get noticed.

"One question…why are you so interested in seeing us change?" Page One asked.

"You two are kids. Just like kids who I witnessed being put into the same 'loyalty' program that you two are talking about. 'Swear loyalty to us! We'll do this and that!' Propaganda mierda!" Sam cursed in Spanish. "What you don't realize is the fine print! The fine print that rips you away of all your freedoms and all those promises that can be ripped away! Just so they can use you like tools. Tools for their own beneficial gain!"

"Sam, where is all of this coming from?" Mio asked.

"Hmph. I lived in an era that abducted children just to turn them into war machines." Sam stated bluntly.

"Way to be blunt, Sam…" Siege said before realizing he said that out loud as Sam took notice.

"Que!? Boss what the hell!?" Sam exclaimed.

"Heh… hey, guys… just uhm… don't mind me. Blasted through the roof by Kaido and Big Mom, I-I'll be fine… honest." Siege chuckled.

"Wait…that makes him one of the raid leaders." Page One said as he and Ulti turned towards Siege.

"...Ah frick." Siege gulped.

"And for the record…I'm not a kid. My little bro is." Ulti said.

"Hey. I'm only 2 years younger than you!" Page One said.

"Don't talk back to me!" Ulti snapped.

"Boy, you bicker almost as much as me and my own sister… it's cute, really." Siege chuckled. "You two are lucky, you know. You still have each other."

"Guess you had your own sis once, but I bet she's what I think she is." Page one said. "But we're not gonna mourn your loss. You'll join her soon, and once you go down, the morale of the rest of the alliance will drop as soon as Bao Huang reports your death to everyone."

"Bao Huang…so…to broadcast through her…we'd get to all the Gifters…" Mio said.

"Agh! Pay-Pay, you just gave them a way to use that millet brat to turn our forces against us!" Ulti said.

"Crap! This guy got me so sentimental I…" Page One said as he shut his mouth.

"Look. Since I'm the older one, I'll…just…" Ulti said as they noticed Siege missing. "Hey, where'd he go?"

"Still here… just stopped healing…" Siege chuckled. "All you'd be doing me is a favor by killing me. But that's not what I want and that's not what you two want. Don't think I didn't see you two sharing the thoughts of climbing ranks and being respected." Siege said, before frowning. "...Then of course comes, what happens if you fail, hm?"

"This is a merit system. Only the strong can survive in this crew. As members of the Tobi Roppo, we're the top out of all the Headliners." Page One said.

"But surely taking out a leader of the raid leads to some form of strength bolstering. Sorry to say you won't chomp me in one bite now." Siege chuckled as he stood up and cracked his neck. "I may not be in full fighting shape, but you two are two large targets in a small area with a bunch of people to pounce. Yeah, we may not deal a lot of damage, but we can subdue you both eventually. What becomes of your strength then? Taken down by the least of the raid leaders and his crew."

"Don't try to convince us to stand down!" Ulti said. "I'm getting tired of his mouth as much as the cyborgs. Lets just destroy them already, Pay-Pay!"

"Are you really? Or are you more concerned about what happens to Page One more than yourself?" Siege asked Ulti. "Let me ask you. What do you really want, Ulti?"

"Boss… aren't you draggi-" Sam was about to retort.

"Hush! Let him keep going." Mio said.

"Don't you dare…threaten my Pay-Pay, you little worm!" Ulti said.

"But I never threatened him." Siege said, revealing no weapons in hand. "What position am I in to threaten him right now? See, that's what you really want. You want the best for your sibling. …You and I share a lot in common, you know. In fact if you'd have threatened my sister Sapphire, I'd fly into just as much a rage as what you do."

"I am the older sister…it's my duty…to protect my younger brother!" Ulti said.

"It was my duty to protect my younger sister too. I failed… I don't want to see you fail, Ulti." Siege said. "And I will say, from what I've seen in this crew… no one really values the two of you at all. Page One isn't safe here, Ulti." Siege said. "Every battle he participates in could spell his end… and I don't want that for you two."

"Aw…he's so sweet." Ulti said.

"She's actually buying this!" Page One said in shock.

"Sure…we'll see about moving somewhere nice and safe…" Ulti said. "After I cave in the skull of that woman who shot lightning at me!"

"Oh, never mind. She's still crazy…and an embarrassment to be around." Page One said.

"*sigh*" Siege shook his head. "We're trying to help you here. She shot lightning at you in self defense anyways, and listen, everyone you're fighting here is just as tight as a family as you two are." Siege said.

"I've been trying to tell you this all along." Sam said as he soon walked next to Siege. "Think about it, Ulti, can you think of anyone on this crew that you're part of that would work just as hard to protect Page One, or even you, as both of you would for the other?" Sam asked.

"You don't have to ask that. Were the only ones related to each other in this crew. The others just get on our nerves!" Ulti said. "But you two are really unnerving right now! Stop trying to get us away from Master Kaido!"!"

"You think Kaido won't detach from you two when he gets what he wants!? Your father fought with him and what respect did Kaido show!? Zip! Zero! None!" Siege exclaimed. "Kaido never batted an eye when your father died under his service, thus he has no connection to you two either! You two are nothing more than tools they will use to get what Kaido wants! The moment he gets it, guess what!? You two are nothing more to him than his peasants." Siege exclaimed. "That means no more protection for Page One at all. That means you two are on your own. With no one to help you."

"How much longer are you guys gonna keep trying at this?!" Page one said. "Forget it! You wont change our minds!"

"Are you two THIS DENSE!?" Sam screamed in anger. "Are you two just mindless beasts who think Kaido will just give you what you want!? No! As of right now, this entire area is being set on fire, and Kaido is doing nothing to stop it! That means if that arsonist maniac spreads here, you two are as good as toast with the rest of us and Kaido will not bat an eye!" Sam exclaimed.

"Fire?!" the two of them said in surprise.

"Yeah, you heard us, Fire." Siege said. "Found out from Hop not too long ago."

"Grrr….whoever did this is gonna pay." Page One said.

"I agree. They'll die along with the others here." Ulti said.

"Then listen up to who has done the deed." Siege declared. "Your own ally. Orochi."

"That little traitor…" Page One growled.

"Kaido killed him, but he's still a pain in the ass." Ulti said.

"I doubt the captain even knows Orochi is still alive." Page One said.

"And if Kaido would care about you two, he'd stop fighting Luffy and the others right now to come to your rescue. I don't see him coming any time soon, he's been told of it I'm sure by those fighting with him." Siege said.

"Doubt it…interrupting him during a fight like that…comes with a big penalty." Page One said.

"And that's my point." Siege said. "He's so worried about the fight right now that you two are afterthoughts for him. They could fight until this entire place, and you two in it, burned down, and he wouldn't know or care before it was too late. Now what do you think of your 'Master Kaido'. If he was really your Master, he would put you above his own matters."

"I don't think that's going to work…" Mio said.

"You make a lot of good points. However…if you want us to even consider changing our minds…" Ulti said.

"You're gonna have to topple Kaido himself for that to happen." Page One said.

"...If you two are that dead set." Siege huffed as he snapped his fingers to heal himself back to full functionality, before smelling the smoke. "I suggest figuring out a place to wade out or stop the fires then. They're closing in."

Sam shot slash waves at the rubble, clearing an exit big enough for the dinos.

"Get out of here. We'll go take down Kaido." Sam said.

"This conversation isn't over." Page One said as he and Ulti ran out.

"...Well… progress then?" Siege asked.

"I suppose so…" Mio said.

"Alright…" Siege said as he contacted the group fighting Kaido. "Hey guys! I'm fine! How's the view up there?"

"Little busy with our plan here, Siege! We're about to send an Emperor falling!" Hope said.

"I'll meet you at the drop point with Sam, Mio, Koyomi, and Noah! I think we finally broke through to Ulti and Page One!" Siege reported.

"That's nice, very nice." Mark nodded. "Talk to you later if we live! Have fun!" the half-angel smiled.

"Well that ain't concerning. Don't any of you die before I get there, you hear!" Siege yelled before cutting out.

"Wow. If Siege and his team really did get those two to change their minds, I'm so gonna thank em." Hope said.

"But first…Law! Now!" Jexi called out.

"Room! Shambles!" Trafalgar Law said as Zeus vanished from Big Mom's hands and into a metal box.

"Flame Rend: Crossing the Six Paths!" Zoro said, cutting into Prometheus.

"Hey, leave me alone! I'm just a sword! I'm just a sword!" Napoleon called out as he was being chased.

"Mama! Help us!" all three of them called.

"Now's our chance! Blast Blaze!" Hope said firing off fireball punches.

"Punk Pistols!" Kidd said, firing his metal fists.

"You fools…you think by taking them away…you can beat me?!" Big Mom said as she punched Kidd, however, the punch was held back. "Huh?"

"Repel." Kidd said as the fists pulled Big Mom away.

"Ultimate Color…Meteor Kick!" Jexi said landing a kick on the woman as she was sent flying back.

"You fools! You think this…will…" Big Mom said before realizing she was off the roof and falling. "I forgot we were over open sea! Help me, Zeus!"

"If they can't come get to her in time, she'll drown at sea." Jexi said.

"And that's one emperor taken care of!" Hope said.

"That was…suspiciously easy." Mark said cautiously. "...That's definitely not enough, right?"

"No. Prometheus will still go after her. We only needed to split them up." Hope said. "At least this way, we'll be able to take them on separately." he said, going towards the edge. "I'm not gonna rest easy unless I see her hit the water."

"Yeah…it's time to divide and conquer." Jexi said. "Hopefully, we'll get just a bit closer to toppling these two."
