"Eustace! Why are you here!?" Zii quietly yelled as she crossed her arms, Minx and Harmony both glaring at him. "Well, I'm with that resistance group now, and I'm here to take father out," he stated openly, smiling rather casually. "The Hirabayashi? But you're evil!" Minx quietly cried, making Zii sigh. "No it's just our dad's a jerk," she said, patting the mink's shoulders, "He's a good guy at heart, and as his sister I vouch for him." Minx sighed, and turned to Eustace who smiled innocently at him. "I don't forgive you, but then again you never actually did anything bad. And our goals are the same," he said, throwing his thumb up. "If you're here to help I'm not against it." Eustace giggled, excitedly throwing his hands up. "You won't regret it!" he exclaimed, making Zii shush him. Harmony looked back, and let out a squeak in alarm as she just noticed the guard that noticed them.
"Intruders! Blackcat has snuck in! Blackmail and some mink seems to be aiding her!" he called into his snail, prompting Zii to grab Minx's and Eustace's wrists and bolt forward. Harmony grabbed onto Minx's hair, holding on for dear life before pulling herself back in. "S-should we call the crew!?" Minx cried, but Zii shook her head. "They don't recognize you, so they don't know your crew is involved! Harmony, please stay hidden in his hair!" she instructed, Harmony nodding as she ducked down. "Alright! Don't worry guys, I got a super cool Devil Fruit that'll totally kick my dad into next week!" Eustace bragged as they headed up the stairs, Zii using wind to just jump past all the guards. They stopped at the highest level, where two gigantic wooden doors stood. The guard stopped pursuing once they reached this spot.
Blackchain sat at his desk, reading today's paper casually as the giant doors got blasted open with wind as Zii forced them open. "Hello Zena," he said without looking away from the paper, making Zii's eyes turn red. "Don't call me that... Only my mother can call me that," she growled, clutching her fist as wind swirled around it. "Please, you've never hit your father. Why would you now?" he asked, looking up at her from the paper. "Why are you here!? Why are you ruining this already poor place!?" she cried, eyes shifting to a purple color. "Why do you care about them? They did nothing for you," he scoffed. "Uh, actually dad, this place is pretty cool at night," Eustace chimed in, causing Blackchain to slam his fist on the desk. "Silence boy!" he yelled, but Eustace crossed his arms defiantly, smirking with full confidence. "I ate the Quake Quake Fruit father. I no longer am afraid of you."
Blackchain visibly became frustrated, clutching both of his fists. Zii looked over, eyes yellow with fear. Blackchain laughed. "Fool! You couldn't use the-" Eustace cuts his father off, dashing in with a fist coated with a white aura, and Blackchain flinched as Eustace smashed his fist directly into his face, the air cracking with white energy, but only where his fist hit. The impact flung Blackchain through the wall, causing him to fall outside the castle. Zii sighed, eyes returning to a jade-green. "He got control of it, that's good. Thought he'd just destroy everything..." she said under her breath, running to the hole Blackchain had left behind. Peeking out of it, she looked down and saw him, standing up and dusting himself off. "Well that wasn't enough," she sighed as she jumped down. Eustace and Minx followed.
Off the coast, a vessel came into view and one of the guards decided to call it in. "Well, maybe it's just a visitor," he hoped, peeking through a telescope to confirm their identity. The vessel was small, and only had one passenger; a lady with black hair. Looking a little closer, and his eyes filled with shock as he pulled the snail up to his mouth. "Warlord! I repeat! Warlord Alejandrea is heading for the island!" he cried, causing the border guard to start panicking. "Nobody told us an emperor was coming! What business does she even have!?" Alejandrea sailed towards Sabody with a poster in her hands, looking upon it. "I bring you in, and that gives me the government's trust. I need that," she said, looking at the poster of Harmony; a new bounty of 200,000,000 with no explanation as to why such a high jump occurred.
"It's over father! Give up and leave this island!" Eustace cried out as the three approached him. He scoffed, walking towards them himself. "I really didn't want to resort to this, but might as well. No one will survive to know my secret anyway..." he sighed, glaring ahead at the group. "Might as well come out Harmony, I know that mink is on your crew," he informed, shocking Zii and Minx. Harmony hopped down, reforming back to her normal size. "And I take it that your ship can sink and resurface at will?" he asked, startling Harmony which answered his question. "So that's it. Only the navy has access to such technology, so how did you come across it?" he asked, Harmony glaring ahead without a reply. He smirks, staring into her eyes. "You look just like your mother," he said, which made Harmony freeze in place, face taking a fearful look. "Now you look like her when I was sinking her ship~" he chortled, which did what he was aiming for; now Harmony looked pissed.
