"Remain calm. Stick to the plan, we have all night," Julio calmly stated, patting Kasai's shoulder. "Y-yea you're right," he nodded in reply, getting his composure back. "Alright you merry melodies! Let's go get our Harmony back!" Julio quietly exclaimed, prompting the crew to jump off the ship towards their respective targets. Kagaku pulled out a snail with a purple swirl on its shell, and he pushed a button on it and Nakama dove below. "When'd you put that in?" Julio asked, and Kagaku chuckled, "You think we're gonna just leave Nakama out for them to find? You know I'm a smart fella, so it's been there from the start," he confidently chuckled. They charged quietly forward, making their way towards the lower levels while Kasai flew Minx and Zii up to the higher levels.
Harmony's cell was kept in the middle of the main tower, and the bottom was heavily guarded. "No way in without major noise," Kagaku sighed, and Julio kept looking for another way inside, but it was airtight security. At the tower's top, Zii and Minx snuck inside through a door leading to the stairs. Zii started running on air to silence her and Minx's footsteps as they explored what seemed like the main storage room for Marineford. "Why have it way up here?" Minx asked, to which Zii shrugged in reply as she headed down the stairs to the second level. This time, Zii stayed out of sight of any guards, and the pair slowly made their way further down. "I think it might be over this way," Zii said quietly as she opened a door, but then let out a gasp.
Kasai found himself a rather convenient open window, and dove inside by shifting to his human form as he flew. Once inside, he looked back to notice the marine who was smoking out the window, who was staring at Kasai. He started panicking, reaching for his snail until Kasai kicked him and knocked the marine unconscious. Kasai proudly dusted his shoulder, but then the alarm sounded anyway. He grumbled to himself as he started making his way towards the stairs. Julio and Kagaku watched as the guards outside started running inside, receiving orders through their snails. "Welp, I think someone was found," Kagaku stated as Julio sighed. "At least we can get inside..." he said as he rushed inside, Kagaku following behind him.
Lucky stood up as the alarm rang, looking surprised as Harmony snickered. "How much you wanna bet that's my crew?" Harmony asked, smirking as Lucky started smiling. "I should go, help," she said as she winked at Harmony, who winked back. Lucky left through the right side, but on the left side there was a confrontation. "Wow, I didn't think you'd actually show up," Dominique said, standing between Zii and Minx, blocking them from a door. He was putting the snail he just used to alert the base away in his pocket. "Glad I didn't sleep tonight," he chuckled, waiting for the pirates to make their first move, but Zii put her hands up. "Zii?" Minx asked concerningly, and she shook her head. "Dominique, the second strongest of the Big Three... We don't stand a chance..." Zii admitted, looking back at Minx with yellow eyes. Dominique pouted, "What? Not even a scuffle? So boring..." Minx wanted to step in, but he could see Zii trembling. He understood this admiral wasn't some regular one.
Kasai headed down towards the middle of the tower, aiming to meet up with Julio and Kagaku. Samuel however, awoken from his sleep, walked out into the halls. Kasai ran right for him, but Samuel simply moved to the side, grabbing the pirate's wrist and smashing him into a wall with his own momentum. He coughed a bit of blood before trying to sweep his legs, but Samuel jumped up and kicked Kasai in midair, flinging him into the ground. He turned towards the stairs, side-stepping a coin flying at him. "Shit-" Julio exclaimed as Kagaku tried throwing some of his elements together, but Samuel blitzed them both, delivering a hefty chop to both their necks. They fell to the floor unconscious. "Hm... I was expecting more," Samuel stated disappointedly.
Back at the cell, Harmony was rather chill laying back in the bed, but when she sat up to see her crew enter her heart sank. All of her crew was chained, and Albatro was bringing in just the mink. "Harmony! At least you're ok~" Minx exclaimed, and she sighed. "Damn... Nobody's hurt right..?" she asked, to which Albatro interrupted by clearing his throat. "Pardon me, but I need to do something. It will confirm the suspicion we have on you Harmony," he said, pulling out a knife. "Wait what are you doing?" she asked as Albatro approached Minx. "Hey! I thought you were doing something to me! Leave him alone!" she cried, but he ignored her. With one swift movement, he sliced through Minx's left eye, causing him to scream out in pain. Harmony clutched the bars, crushing the metal in her hand as a burst of her haki rang out, but Albatro wasn't even impressed, let alone affected by it. "So... Everything they deducted was correct. The execution shall continue as scheduled then," he said, taking the injured pirate from the cell room. Harmony kept crying out, frustratedly punching the cell door. The sea prism chain was the only thing keeping her from breaking out.
