The tunnels were rarther huge, about 11 feet tall and wide, and had 6 paths, 5 the same size and one only about a foot wide, that all meet in one huge room, where Blackheart was. The caving sent a shockwave throughout the tunnels, sounding like an explosion. "Huh!? The snail hasn't said anything about them discovering this!" he cried out, jumping up. A small mole dug down the smallest tunnel and popped out of the ground beside the bed Blackheart was jumping out of. "Should I get the rest of the Soulless Pirates?" Moltaire, a 10 inch tall mole with completely black eyewear, the archeologist of the Soulless Pirates, bounty of 50,000,000. "No Moltaire, I'm sure they heard it."
A barefoot slender man, sliding on the ground like it was covered in oil skidded to a stop at the center from a tunnel. "I've arrived~" he started spinning in place really fast. Slippery Slick, the musician of the crew, weilding a bounty of 65,500,000. A woman who looked alot like Mimi and Meg, but with unkempt hair and baggy eyes, weaing an oversized bathrobe came from the second tunnel. "I was having the best nap... was that Slick passing gas?" Slick turned to her, visibly frustrated! "I don't fart Momo! I am too pretty to do something so retched!" She just smirked, proud of herself. Momo, tactician of the Soulless Pirates, with a bounty of 44,500,000.
A green haired man, his hair freshly cut and trimmed came down the third tunnel with his hand resting on a single katana on his him. Blackheart turned to him, waving him over, "There's Senju, just in time." Senju nodded, saying nothing in reply. He was the Soulless swordsman, with a bounty of 55,000,000. The fourth tunnel, which was littered with small cotton floofs, had a wooly man who looked like a sheep but clearly wasn't a mink skipping down joyously. The Cotton Detroyer, Stewart the navigator of the crew, bounty of 47,850,000. He laughed as he did a head count, "Hahahaaaa, looks like it was Knackle's tunnel they blew up~"
The Melody Pirates were brought up to speed by Lucky. Kiwi looked down, but Kasai patted his head, reassuringly saying, "My promise isn't fulfilled until you are home, safe. If this emperor dude wants to put you in danger, we got an issue." He went to jump in, but a wing grabbed him midair. Petrian sighed, "We appreciate it, but we are marines still. We aren't about to let you just do as you please in this city-" He's cut off by the earth suddenly giving way, and a tall thick man punching through the ground and grabbing the giant Harmony.
Knackle, the cook of the crew, with a bounty of 95,000,000, was a beast of a man at 8 feet tall, and effortlessly pulled Harmony down, causing Nakama to fall on the street, knocking everyone out of it. Petrian let Kasai go and was about to rush in, but the whole rest of the group dove in, including Lucky but minus Kiwi and Kagaku, jumping the huge man. They got him down and they all high-fived before just running down the tunnels. Kagaku hopped in, shrugging to himself as he ran after them. "Hey wait I-... I guess I'll call it in..." Petrain said sighing. Knackle then just sat up, rubbing his head, "That was uncool! There was like five of them!" He looked up, and Petrian just noticed him, and the two glared each other down.
"Oh! Minx!" Lucky reached behind her inside a bag, pulling out two strange scissors, both blades being like swords. Minx looked in awe as he took them, smiling brightly, "My spinners!~" They worked like regular scissors, and he took them and expertly began moving his fingers between the two handles, spinning them both as if he always did. "Thanks so much!~" She chuckled, "It's no issue~" The group reach a large carved out room, with paths. Harmony stepped forward, "Alright, lets split up in pairs of two, and if we find anyone, come back and lead them here. We take them as a group." Everyone agreed, and the pairs were made; Harmony and Kasai, Julio and Kagaku, and Minx and Lucky. However, once they all entered their tunnels, they shut behind them, as if the earth moved to block them.
