Most of the world cheered for the execution of Roger's offspring, as Harmony's deeds were unknown to them thanks to the news, but everyone who she had helped listened or watched with sadness in their eyes. "That poor kid woulda been dead without her help!" Grump cried as he punched a hole through the wall. "Too bad we're too far... If only we could make it..." Traphi replied, clutching her fists in frustration. "Come on man, this is just bullshit!" Zakk yelled out, wiping tears from his eyes. Back at the stand, Albatro waved up two marines holding blades. The crew all looked down, save for Julio and Kagaku, who couldn't look away thanks to their own pasts. "Over a stupid parent!?" Julio growled, desperately trying to break his chains but making no progress. "That's what a legacy can do to their kids..." Kagaku sighed shakily, as he was trying to not be emotional.
"Any last words?" Albatro asked, looking down at the former princess turned pirate, who looked up towards the ship where she could see her crew. She gently smiled, closing her eyes as she just says, "Sorry guys..." The crew all tried calling out to her, but the guards silenced them. Harmony let out a sigh, and the two swords were put into position. "Harmony!!" Lucky cried out as she ran up into the stand, knocking all three of the marines off with a spin-kick through the air as she jumped the last few steps. "L-Lucky!? What are you doing!?" Harmony exclaimed as the rabbit pulled out the keys to the chains. "You're a hero to me! I'm not gonna let you-" Albatro flew back up with one flap of his wings and grabbed her wrist holding the keys, tossing her off the stand into the water. "We'll deal with her later," he stated, throwing his hand up to summon two more sword bearers. The guards had to hold Minx down at this point.
Harmony, now determined, struggled against the chains. The two raised their blades, but she just gritted her teeth and let out her haki, knocking them both out. She actually started to crack the chains, but Albatro swooped down and picked up a blade. She used her haki again, but he wasn't phased by it. Lucky was pulled up and restrained, causing Minx to struggle further to no avail. "Damn it... I couldn't do it..." Lucky sighed, looking up at the stand. "It ends here! The death of the last child of Roger shall mark the end of the Pirate Era! After nearly 20 years, our work paid off," he stated. "What are you even talking about anymore!?" Harmony cried, giving one last tug to try and break out. The chains held together, and Albatro raised the sword up above his head. The crew all screamed her name as his arm started to fall towards her
A burst of wind suddenly slipped through the entire island coming from the gates, startling everyone. Albatro had done the swing of the sword, but she wasn't harmed. He looked up as his sword's blade fell to the floor; perfectly cut through. He then looked at the handle confused until the rumbling at the gates drew his and everyone's attention to them. The giant gates were sliced cleanly, and were sliding down into the ocean. Two large vessels and a smaller one stood behind it; a stolen marine vessel up front, the Drakolos flagship, and a sloop Harmony recognized immediately, causing her to smile brightly. At the front of the marine vessel, Dust Devil was sheathing his sword. "The way is open," he informed, prompting Lia to charge the ship forward, busting through whatever gate was left. Marines started flooding the dock, and in the chaos Lucky got herself freed with the keys she kept an iron grip on, and headed back up to the stand as the ones holding her ran for battle.
"What the hell!? Since when did you have a fleet!?" Albatro cried, to which Harmony chuckled in reply. "I don't," she admitted, visibly irritating him. He threw the useless handle away and reeled his wing back, planning to just strike her down himself, but a flash of light suddenly threw the harpy into the tower, breaking the wall as he impacted. "Heeeey, so you're this Harmony the captain won't shut up about?" a man who was dressed like a ninja asked, crouched down to her level. "H-Hey! That's the Lightspeed Ninja!" Lucky cried as she reached the top. "Pleeeaaase, call me Teino friends," he chuckled as Lucky undid the chains. "Hey! Why'd you do that?" Harmony asked sternly as she grabbed Lucky's shoulder, and Lucky poked her fingers together. "If I didn't, Minx would've never forgiven me," she stated, making Harmony blink for a second.
Albatro called into a snail after getting up from the impact unscathed, "All hands! We got a breakout situation!" The guards on the ship for the prison were attempting to leave, but were stopped by a monster boarding the vessel. "Everyone run!" a marine cried as the large boney-headed lizard ran through the crowd, biting off the chains as he passed the crew. "Owww! Biting sea prism hurts!" Sheppard cried as he skidded to a stop. "Hey thanks!" Julio cried out as he immediately started jumping in only for the dinosaur to grab him by his shirt with its mouth. "We are breaking you out! We are not here to fight!" he said as he ran for Waxbeard's ship, tossing Kagaku on his back as he passed him. "The Drakolos are here to fight," he continued, plowing through the army and getting straight to Waxbeard's ship. Zii got Minx onto Kasai and the three flew out on the wyvern, heading for the same destination. But the four admiral's exiting the tower had other plans.
