As the door opened, the Royal Guard entered, and Pulverize sighed heavily. "Where's the drakolos guy?" Polish asked, peaking around the larger captain. Kiwi and Arlos were currently under the bed while Julio and Kagaku were in the closet, no one even breathing right now. "Maybe you misheard the lord?" Skewer shrugged, and Pulverize scoffed. "He said that the dudes muscles were so dense, he couldn't even drag the thing. It has to be here," he informed, stepping into the room. He looked towards the closet, but before he could investigate, a golden guard came up. "Sirs! Harmony and their sail master are gone!" he exclaimed, and the Royal Guard all gasped. "Please tell me she figured it out. I want to fight her again," Skewer said, running out of the room as the others follow him. "Wait, his voice is so familiar..." Julio whispered, and Kagaku quietly opened the door as the two stepped out. Arlos and Kiwi crawled out, the doctor blushing with embarrassment. "I coulda taken them on," he grunted, crossing his arms. "Yes, but we gotta plan. We take them out, we'll have no idea where the goldenified crew is being taken, and then they're gone," Kagaku said, sticking his pinkie in his nose. "We gotta find everyone first," he said, and Arlos nodded with understanding.
Sneaking out was not as easy as getting in, as some guards noticed the tall toned man escaping his cell. The alarm started to blare as he pulled the switch, and the three started running for the exit. Harmony threw down wax molds that looked exactly like herself and Zii, distracting the chasing guards. Gunshots went off, and Harmony pulled Zii down as her grey and red wyvern scales covered her arms and head, blocking the rounded bullets. "Akio! Get down!" Harmony cried, but he just scoffed, throwing up some scales of his own. The black reptilian skin took the bullets, knocking them back towards the shooters, taking them out. "Woah~ Seriously what's that Fruit?~" she asked, but he didn't answer, he just picked them up and started running for the exit as Zii directed him. He rammed through the barricade they were trying to put up and headed for the castle. But on the way there, the Royal Guard jumped onto their path.
Julio led the group to where he and Kiwi last saw Kasai's statue, but only found an empty cart. Then, they heard some armor clanging coming and they stuck themselves behind the corner. Two knights were carrying a golden Lia, and they loaded her into the cart and pushed a button, sending the cart down a track that popped out of the ground. The knights left, and the cart came back after a minute. The crew nodded to each other, and all jumped into the cart, Julio shooting Victoria and bouncing a coin to hit the button, and the cart was sent off. "Say Julio, you ever say your new guns name?" Kagaku asked, and Kiwi looked up, interested to know. "Well, the shotgun is Veronica, my mom. The railgun," he said pointing to his rifle, "Kagaku helped make, and he named it." Kagaku nodded, smiling as he looked at it. "Her name is Selena," he said, smiling. The cart came up to a room behind the throne, dumping the crew into a crude conveyor belt that carried them to a holding chamber, filled with at least a hundred golden statues.
"Halt!" Skewer demanded, putting his hand up in front of him. Akio scoffed, putting down the girls as he shifts focus to Sir Steed. "Geez! What did I even do to you!?" Steed cried out, hiding behind Sir Pulverize. "What have you done with my crew?" Harmony asked, getting up and crossing her arms. "Nothing that won't be done to you!" Skewer cried, charging right for Harmony while drawing a greatsword with one hand from his back. She quickly created a wax shield that looked like an actual one, and imbuing it with her haki to block his blow. She smirked, creating a wax blade. Zii went to assist, but a chunk of the ground flew towards her, causing her to fly back to avoid it. Sir Pulverize chuckled, casually lifting up another piece of the ground and taking aim. Sir Steed and Sir Polish charged ahead towards Akio, who's eyes went red with rage as he charged back. But Steed started running on all fours, and his body shifted, bulking up to fill up the horse armor, as he became a massive horse. Polish jumped up on his back, moving his armor to collect moonlight and direct it into Akio's eyes, causing him to cry out and attack blindly, allowing Steed to sidestep and absolutely deviate him with a back kick that flung him through a golden wall casually.
"They're here somewhere," Kagaku said as Kiwi created a few bright lightning clouds that constantly spewed electricity around it, making for rather impressive light. "What, did happen to your Gum powers?" Julio asked. "Well, even after all those months training with it, I never felt right with it," Kiwi answered, letting out a sigh. "I don't know how, but Harmony kinda reached into my chest as light and... Just pulled it out of me," he continued, startling Kagaku. "That's, very interesting," he said, chuckling to himself as he kept looking. "Why didn't you ask when I ate the Wool Wool? You were there," Kiwi asked, and Julio shrugged. "I was just happy to see you guys at that time," he chuckled, making Kiwi smile. "Found one, and we got lucky on this one," Kagaku laughed, picking up a rabbit statue. "Got the smallest one," he giggled, but as he tried to splash the stuff on it, a separate arm shot out of the statue, grabbing Kagaku's wrist.
Harmony and Sir Skewer clashed swords, matching speed as they kept trying to disarm each other. Losing focus on the haki, her shield got shattered, but with a quick movement she didn't lose an arm. They didn't waver, continuing to block each others swings, neither of them able to quite push the other onto the defensive. Zii flew around, trying to keep Sir Pulverize from aiming at the others. He chucked another chunk at her before looking around at the crater he left. "Dumb fly," Pulverize scoffed, lunging up at her with a startling speed. She barely pushed herself out of his range before he started falling back down, but he clapped his hands, the force thrusting him back up. She cried out as he grabbed her and chucked her like a baseball back to the ground, creating another crater in his already made one. Zii coughed, tanking the attack with what haki she does know, but he came barreling down, not giving up on his assault. Akio rubbed his head as he looked around, noticing he was in some house. Before he could recover, Sir Polish came in with an elbow to his gut. But Akio reacted, rolling out of the way making the knight elbow the stone instead, which cracked from the blow. "C-careful Sir Polish!" Steed, still a horse, cried out. "He was apart of the Ship Rex! Don't underestimate him!"
