Before Harmony could cause any more damage, Samuel and Dominique both rushed in to apprehend her, but she threw both of her fists towards them, Quaking a shockwave towards them that shattered the ground as it passed. But Samuel just floated over it on the cloud as Dominique just plowed through it with golden skin and shoulder-bashed Harmony. She slammed her fist down in frustration, and called out to the ships, "Get out of here! I'm taking this place down with me!" She threw a Quake strike towards the ground, but Dominique stopped it with a golden foot. "Hmph. Karen's mission out in Alabasta didn't cause us any issues," he confidently stated, kicking Harmony through the air. "W-wait what!? What's this Karen doing in Alabasta!?" she cried out, and Samuel chuckled. "Some target needed to be taken out. Sent her since she's our number one~" Harmony stood up and Shaved instantly, and the two admirals gave chase. But she didn't stop at the ship, she ran up to Teino and grabbed his shoulder intensely before he could even react to her. "Fruit name! NOW!" she screamed, and he started to sweat and shakily replied "G-Glint Glint!"
She let him go, and in an instant turned into a stream of light and disappeared, heading back towards the Grand Line. "Damn, there she goes," Samuel sighed as he jumped down, heading over to sink the boats before an explosion suddenly flung him back. Waxbeard turned with a fearful expression as he cried, "Charlie wait! You can't-" he gets ignored as Charlie jumped in, his arms both massive rocket launchers. "Oh damn! A double whammy! We failed to kill the girl, and another failure showed up!" Samuel cried as Dominique sighed. "The only other kid of Roger, Gol D. Charlie. You're supposed to be dead," he said bluntly. Charlie just chuckled as the ships started taking off and he jumped back, holding the admiral's down with a barrage of bullets and explosions.
With a massive smoke bomb, Charlie hid the ships from the navy's view. "Sink them," Albatro said, dusting his shoulder off. "They should understand how powerful we are. This is the end of an era after all." The four ships all set off, splitting off as the navy chased after them. Waxbeard's sloop had him and his crew as well as Zii and Marian, Julio and Kagaku were the only two to make it onto Nakama, and Lia's stolen vessel had Minx and Kasai on board. Arlos pulled the flagship around, aiming to fight back to get the rest of them time. Kasai scoffed, shifting into his full-form and flying out, heading for the flagship. Minx tried to call out to him, but he couldn't forge words and just stuttered. "Hey kid..." Dust Devil said, coming up behind the mink and crouching down, patting his shoulder. "I wasn't there for my sister... What can I do now..?" Dust didn't say anything in reply, and just gently petted Minx between his ears.
"Damn it... We got wiped..." Julio sighed as Kagaku took the ship down below. "That pink bunny girl... That was Lucky?" he asked, and when Julio nodded, he looked down with sadness. "Minx's probably taking this the hardest..." he said, crossing his arms. "Hey Kagaku?" Julio started, turning towards the shipwright who cocked up an eyebrow. "My mom was a brilliant craftsmen herself, and I never got to learn from her. Do you think you could help me learn about that kind of stuff?" he asked, to which Kagaku started laughing. "You asked the right guy! I got you man!~" he stated, smirking as they fist-bumped.
Arlos escaped the navy after sinking a couple of the pursuers, and Kasai stayed aboard the flagship, currently bowing to Arlos. "Please! I want to be strong enough to protect my family!" he cried, but Arlos sighed as he had already decided. He reached down to pull Kasai up, smiling. "You forget, I'm technically a member of the crew already, so we are family too brother." Kasai started tearing up as he took Arlos' hand, pulling himself up. "We shall train up later, we need to find out where Harmony has gone," he continued, and Kasai nodded in agreement. "Well, surely she'll show up-" Kasai is cut off as a transponder snail starts acting up nearby. Arlos answered it, and the call reached Lia, Zii, and Kagaku's snails as well. Once they all connected, a voice came from the snails.
"Hey guys, I made it," Harmony said, causing all the ships to cheer. "Where are you at!?" Kasai cried, but the snail just sighed. "I can't tell you that... but I will say one thing." Everyone got quiet, and Harmony stated as bluntly as she could, "Guys, we aren't strong enough for the New World. If we were to continue, we'd just get killed..." Julio scoffed and butted in, "Hold on! We can still-" but she cuts him off, "Take two years. Stay where you guys are, and in two years we'll all meet back up at Sabody," the snail smirked confidently. "So we can take that big dragon out~" Everyone paused, but then they nodded to themselves. "Two years? Sounds like more than enough to become a master crafter~" Kagaku chuckled to Julio. "We'll get you stronger by then," Arlos stated to Kasai, who started to giggle excitedly. Dust Devil picked Minx up, "Come with me, and I'll make sure you can protect your family in the future." Minx looked up, a spark of hope lighting up in his eyes as he agreed. "Alright guys. The Melody Pirates will be apart for a while, but when the world sees us return, we'll show 'em " she said as she hung up.
