He said he took the Going Merry and wants us to meet him upstream…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He might be trying to lure us into a trap,\" he muttered suspiciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Awoo!\" Luffy munched down on a giant piece of meat, grinning widely. \"If he tricks us, we'll just punch him in the face!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji glanced back toward the capital, his cigarette glowing faintly. \"Was it really okay to leave Vivi behind like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai sat atop a duck, Chopper perched on his shoulders. He smiled casually. \"We made a promise. East Port, noon sharp. If Vivi really wants to sail with us, she'll be there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still…\" Sanji sighed, crestfallen. \"I really wanted her to come with us…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro crossed his arms and closed his eyes. \"She's a princess. Tempting her to abandon that responsibility to join pirates would be wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji, unusually solemn, nodded. \"Yeah… She has a whole kingdom depending on her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his gaze turned to Shirogai with narrowed eyes. \"What did Vivi say to you when she pulled you aside earlier?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai shrugged. \"She thanked me. Gave me something called the Peacock Slash. A kind of farewell gift.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A token of love, you mean!\" Sanji's jealousy exploded. \"Damn you, Shirogai!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed Nami dramatically. \"Nami-swaaan! Please give me a love declaration too! I want a parting gift!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Nami, however, hadn't spoken a word during the entire trip. Her expression was distant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nami…?\" Usopp asked carefully. Everyone turned to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji, more composed now, offered gently, \"Are you missing Vivi? You two were pretty close…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami sighed and gazed out over the desert. \"I gave up the one billion Berries I bargained from Igaram… all for her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's what you're upset about?!\" the crew shouted in unison. \"You money-obsessed witch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karoo snored peacefully beside the bed. Vivi lay awake, her eyes wide open as she whispered softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's so quiet now, Karoo. There's no captain laughing about adventure. No navigator half-asleep tossing her pillow. No chef fussing over the kitchen. No swordsman clanking around with his training. No doctor running away blushing, and…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, her voice lower now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No Shirogai-san, calmly watching everything from the corner, smiling at us like he's already five steps ahead…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tear rolled down her cheek and disappeared into her pillow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should I go with them? Or should I stay here and help my people?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirogai-san… what would you do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upstream of the Sandora River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Going Merry was docked quietly, sails fluttering gently in the night breeze. High above, a lean figure stood in the crow's nest, one hand on his hip, the other waving proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahoy! I've been waiting forever! Welcome back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Bon Clay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one answered him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Straw Hats were all gathered around the Super Spot-Billed Ducks, bidding them farewell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take care!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell Karoo to stop drinking!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Say hi to Igaram and the king!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quack! Quack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ducks waved their wings in farewell, sprinting away through the dunes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it! You all ignored me!\" Bon Clay sulked. \"Aren't we friends?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy tilted his head. \"Weren't you our enemy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You attacked Vivi,\" Usopp reminded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bon Clay puffed his cheeks in frustration. \"I was under orders! I didn't know the truth then! I apologize!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai boarded the Going Merry calmly, carrying two bags of provisions. He glanced at Bon Clay with a faint smile. \"Step aside, you're blocking the gangplank.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bon Clay moved reluctantly, pouting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai turned to the others. \"We can trust him. Without Bon Clay, the Going Merry would've been seized by the Marines by now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\" Luffy was stunned. \"You helped save the ship?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\" Chopper asked, suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bon Clay lifted a thumbs-up, wiping tears away. \"Because… we're friends!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Bon is a friend! Through rain and wind, friendship never ends~!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy, Bon Clay, Usopp, and Chopper began dancing in ridiculous unison on the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Friends! Friends!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami, facepalming, muttered, \"Idiots.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh,\" Shirogai chuckled. \"Let them have their fun. Sometimes, the joy of fools can ease the pain of farewell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his hand. A plume of black smoke emerged from his palm, activating his [Smoke-Smoke Fruit]. The smoke coiled around the crew's luggage on the shore and floated it aboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji opened the cabin door just as the bags landed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything's packed! Let's go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai looked toward the still river. \"Little Bon, get your crew ready. Without us, you wouldn't escape the Marine blockade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bon Clay teared up again. \"Shirogai-san… you're the best!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai's gaze shifted downward, past the deck, toward the cabins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Seems like Bon Clay isn't the only stowaway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the sea, on a Marine warship—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Report! The Going Merry has been found!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marine Captain Hina adjusted her gloves with deliberate calm, her lips curving into a knowing smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally. Prepare for battle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun climbed higher as the Going Merry drifted into open waters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn't get far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Marine warships quickly surrounded them, keeping a consistent distance, never approaching directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bon Clay's eyes widened in horror. \"Ten ships… This is Captain Hina's 'Black Cage' unit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He trembled. \"They'll use the Black Spear Formation next—long-range attacks that can pierce any hull!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, the warships turned, their massive black spears aimed at the Going Merry and Bon Clay's boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fire!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forty spears launched at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're not cannonballs?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy's jaw dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're finished!\" Chopper squealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone froze, watching death rain from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirogai!\" Luffy shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A booming laugh echoed from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, leave it to me, Captain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thick black smoke churned from a cloud above. It swirled like a cyclone, reaching toward the incoming spears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smoke stretched out like arms—grabbing the spears mid-air and tossing them into the sea with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sea sizzled as the spears sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bon Clay gasped. \"H-He actually stopped it…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From above, Shirogai descended, still in smoke form, floating calmly over the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey Marines,\" he called out with a lazy smile. \"Try not to break what doesn't belong to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crew erupted in cheers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirogai is amazing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp, Chopper, and Nami hugged each other in tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far off, aboard her flagship, Hina watched the scene unfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this is… The Plunderer, the one who defeated Smoker?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She narrowed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sail forward.
