Many years ago in Cleomoria castle, late at night, a young Harmony was running down the hall towards her parents room. Inside, she ran over to the bed where Maria was simply reading a book. Giovanni was a very heavy sleeper, so Maria simply spoke up, "Shouldn't you be in bed?" Harmony threw her arms up onto the bed, staring up at her with her pink eyes. "I can't sleep," she said, and Maria sighed as she put the book down and lifted her up onto the bed onto her lap. "You just wanna hear about my Wano adventure," she said, which made Harmony chuckle and rub the back of her head. "Yea," she admitted, and the queen just smiled. "Tell you what, I'll tell you a story I had heard there. It's dark but you're a big girl," she said, making Harmony puff her cheeks to look bigger, and she chuckled. "It's called The Azure Serpent..." she started.

"Long ago, when the land floated above the sea, a great serpent had the land under his vile rule, and welcomed in the beasts to live within the sacred land. Outraged, the Shogun, a wandering samurai, and the samurai's younger brother tried to destroy the monster, but his strength was mighty. They were cast from Wano to the sea below, where the serpent had believed them to have perished. But the next day, on wings granted to the samurai by a fruit of the demon, the three returned. In a fit of rage during their second battle, the serpent lashed out, and attacked the brother with a slash across the chest. Believing him dead, the samurai vowed revenge, and retaliated, but just wasn't able to do it. But his brother called out, revealing himself alive, and in doing so, gave the samurai the push he needed to slash the serpent down the middle, ending the tyranny of his rule."

Harmony had fallen asleep around them being banished, but Maria simply picked her up and continued the story as she walked back to Harmony's room. Pausing for a moment, she looks outside one of the windows towards the sea, and smiles as her eyes that were the same pink as her daughter's tear up. "Thank you... Roger..."

Two years had passed since the battle of Marineford had taken place, and the captain of the Melody Pirates; Cleoma D. Harmony, as well as her crew, vanished, and were believed to be dead. After everything, Anubis cut his allegiance to the World Government, and Alabasta lost its protection, but the navy lost a major chunk of their trade from his decision. While they didn't vanish, pirate counts were indeed falling, and this victory granted Albatro a complete promotion to Fleet Admiral, as with the current one being deemed too old, he was let go. But his son, Petrian, had also disappeared. Escaping with Waxbeard, Marian was the only surviving member of the Hirabayashi that fought, further dwindling their numbers. Blackchain drew Sabody into martial law, and put the island under the constant protection of the marines.

"Sir!" a marine cried, running inside the main office, awakening the man from his nap. "The stolen vessel from the Marineford incident is currently heading right for the dock!" he informed, causing Blackchain to shoot up from his seat. "So they are alive! Battle stations everyone!" he announced to the forces in his command. "Get CP-9 up front," he demanded through a snail. At the Sabody dock, a red haired man responded, "Already up here boss." Genkai locked his eyes onto the incoming vessel. "Where are you hiding brother..?" he muttered to himself. "They might still be split up," the blue-haired leopard mink stated as she came up behind him. "still, they all could be aboard the one ship. why not just sink it now?" Bob asked, and Genkai chuckled as he responded, "Good idea, better safe than sorry." He pointed his hand like a gun, and shot a condensed stream of steam that blasted forward, ripping through the metal hull effortlessly. "And that's-" his gloating is cut off as a single cannon fired towards the dock.

Instead of a cannonball, Lia shot herself and blitzed through the dock, using her yo-yo's to distract the gunman. "Bring 'em in Arlos," she said into a snail, and a light-purple wyvern flew from the sinking vessel, the Drakolos leader riding his back as they made it up to the shore, away from the dock. "Let us race forward brother!" Arlos said, and Kasai smirked as he dashed ahead, Shaving past the trees. "Two of 'em got through!" Lapis announced through the snail as Genkai rushed back, Shaving towards the castle. Lia smashed the dock through, knocking Bob and the other agents off as she Shaved after him. "geez... everyone's goin' so fast today..." Bob sighed as he looked out at the broken dock. "hey! another ship is incoming!" he cried, pointing at the small rowboat holding three individuals. "They noticed us," Dust Devil said, prompting Zii and Minx to stand; the latter with a cloak over his face. "Thank you for everything," he said with a bow before dashing towards the island, running on the surface of the water. "Catch ya later," Zii said, flying after him with maroon eyes and a determined look. On the other side of the dock, a familiar purple ship surfaced.

"Sir! It seems the Melody Pirates are here!" a guard announced as he ran into Blackchain's office. He groaned in irritation, "I can see that... But it doesn't seem like their captain is here. I'll wipe them out before she can arrive so I can see that despair in her eyes~" he giggled, running out of the office. Once he got outside, a storm appeared around him as he shifted into his dragon form, cackling as he looked for his first target. However, his attention was instead drawn to the horizon, as a shining light began to come into view. "The reports said that's how she left... No matter, COME AT ME HARMONY! YOU AND YOUR MERRY MELODIES ARE NOTHING TO ME!" he shouted, roaring towards the light as it made landfall. "The captain has arrived!" Lia announced excitedly, speaking into the snail. "See, we made it in time," Kagaku chuckled, hopping down once they anchored. He didn't look much different, but he finally ditched the kimono, wearing a long white coat instead. Julio followed, his outfit unchanged but now wielding a full goatee. "Still, let's hurry," he said, dashing ahead. "Right, stay safe Nakama," Kagaku said, running after him.

Harmony stepped forward, holding Kiwi on her back. She had shortened her hair to her neck, and other than the clear two years of age, Kiwi was unchanged. "There she is!" some marines called out, running towards the captain, but Kiwi was the one to jump down off her back and walk forward, smirking. He swayed his arms, creating a couple of floating cloud-like bunches of wool. "What the- Isn't that the Fruit Power from a former member of Blackheart's crew!?" the leader cried, stepping back as Kiwi's body began to spark with electricity. He blitzed through the air, jumping off the clouds he had made, leaving arcs of electricity everywhere. Harmony, smiling proudly, walked forward through the lightning unharmed, using the Gum Power. The remaining marines began to retreat, running back to the castle. "There you are Harmony~" Blackchain chortled, his mouth glowing brightly as he charged up his flame. Kiwi landed next to Harmony and walked up beside her as she started walkimg casually towards the castle.

Zii; throwing Bob and the other dock marines around with a tornado, and Minx came running up beside Harmony, and Blackchain let out a victorious roar as he blasted towards her. Minx stepped out in front of her, tearing the cloak away. His left eye was scarred shut, but the most obvious difference was his hair, now dyed a dark pink color. He reached behind him, grabbing onto a pair of scissors that were bigger than he was. As the fire blast reached them, he grunted with minimal effort, swinging the giant blade down and slicing clean through the flame, sending it to either side of the group. Marines rushed forward, but a flurry of coins came from their blindspots as Julio scoffed, aiming a big double-barrelled shotgun-like device towards the rest of the marines with a big rifle on his back. Kagaku ran past, and they both stepped into the group as Kasai brought Lia and Arlos to the crew. "Ok, now that everyone's here," Harmony started, smirking as she looked back at her crew. "Let's save Sabody!" she cried, the crew all throwing their fists up.
