Later that night, Harmony awoke to the sounds of snoring by the bars. She looked over to see Lucky, passed out sitting on the floor leaning against the cell. Harmony chuckled as she walked over and reached through and shook her shoulder. Lucky snorted awake, and quickly stood at attention, "I wasn't sleeping boss!" Harmony laughed, "It's just us two here, relax~" Lucky chuckled nervously, poking her fingers together. "Why are you here anyway?" Harmony asked, and Lucky shrugged. "Well, me and Petrian are getting training here and-" she started, but Harmony giggled before putting her finger up. "No no, here," she said, pointing down. Lucky melted in embarrassment.
"Well... I know you. You're a really good person and shouldn't be behind bars," she admitted, visibly frustrated. "That kinda talk would cost you the job. You're aiming for the top right? Just free me from Impel Down when you get there~" she said jokingly, but Lucky just slammed her fist onto the ground, cracking it slightly. "I don't think they're taking you to Impel Down..." she stated, fighting back tears. Harmony paused, but then patted the mink's shoulder. "I'm sure my crew followed behind Alejandrea when she took me. They're planning a big escape plan right now, and I'll be out by night's end~" she stated confidently, making Lucky look impressed. "My brother is pretty cool yea?" she chuckled in reply.
"Gaaaah! All we can do is wait!?" Kasai cried out as he was going for the wheel, intending to surface. "I can fly over, get her back- it'll be easy!" he confidently stated before Julio grabbed his wrist. "Idiot! You'd just expose us and we'd get sunk immediately!" he yelled, causing Kasai to yell back, "At least I'm actually trying!" Minx threw a scissor between the two, sticking it in the wall beside them. "Guys, Harmony wouldn't like seeing us fight like this. Let's just calm down, surely something is gonna happen to open the gate. Patience is key," he calmly said, and the other two glared at each other before sighing. "You're right, I'd be alone up there..." Kasai admitted, now having a clearer head. Julio sighed, "Yea, sorry for snapping like that... We're all frustrated here." Kagaku cleared his throat to get the crew's attention, looking up from his sonar stuff with a smirk on his face, "Our ride's here~"
Above them, a huge battleship was making its run through Marineford to drop off the passenger on board; a short dark haired man with dark green eyes and a fairly bored expression. "Admiral Samuel! We've arrived," the vessel captain informed, causing him to stand up. "Finally, I hate being late," he scoffed before casually jumping to shore from the ship still halfway through the gate. "Why did we bother sailing in..?" the captain asked himself as he had to leave the gate open for ages to do a u-turn. "We might have a whole aquarium down there by the time you're outta here!" some guards teased, a group laughing as the captain mutters under his breath as he finally gets out and the gate is closed.
With the gates open, Nakama slipped under the battleship and settled in the bay. "Aight, now we wait for cover of darkness," Kagaku said, smugly taking the headgear off as he smirked at the crew. "So what's the plan Julio?" Kasai asked, turning to the marksman. "Well, no one's been to Marineford, so we're going in blind," he started, looking around at the crew who all listened intently. "We should split up, cover more ground. Kasai, find someway inside from above. Zii and Minx, you two take the top half. Me and Kagaku will take the bottom," he directed, and everyone nodded in understanding. "Use the snail should you find her, and the other team will head back to Nakama." They all exclaimed in unison as they bumped fists in a circle, and bided their time, waiting for the sun to set.
Within Albatro's office, two of the Big Three; the strongest admiral's the navy has, were standing before him. "So why did we need to come here?" Samuel asked, Dominique nodding behind him. "The Elders asked of it. While we have no reason to believe it, the Elders fear someone will attempt to save the captain," he informed them, sorting papers as he talked. "The sun is setting soon, and its set for tomorrow. Why am I here now?" Samuel sighed, and Albatro looked up at him. "Better safe than sorry. The joys of such giant gates is no one's getting in without making a ruckus. Just rest for the night," he said, and the admiral's sighed as they left. Dominique looked at the paper in his hands, scoffing at it. "The moment that Emperor reported her catch, they set this up. Insane." He tossed it into the wind, letting the night breeze take it away. As Nakama surfaced in the cover of darkness, Kasai stepped up and was about to fly till a newspaper smacked into his face. He pulled it back, and with what little light he could make out the headline, and his heart sank. "They're executing Harmony tomorrow!!" he cried out to the crew below deck.
