"First of all, I would like thank all of you for defeating the Upper Rank 6 for us and also helping Uzui while he's in trouble." Ubuyashiki thanked all of them sincerely. The balance that was unshaken for years had finally tipped off. 

"Your victory against the Upper Moon 6 was impactful for the Upper Ranks. Thank you Law-san, Sanji-san." He thanked both of them. Uzui and few other Hashira were standing on the back. Uzui didn't believe what just happened to him. He was shocked. 

He fainted during last battle and when he was finally awake, the most unexpected thing was his hand. See, he remembered that he lose his left hand. When he woke up, his hand is fully intact. As if nothing happened at the first place. 

When he ask the Law about it, Law just said he just reattached his hand. As if that was normal and yet he acted like it was. You can't just reattach someone's limbs like Lego! He is fairly injured and thinking of retiring from being a Hashira. 

The trio were still being treated in a ward. Aoi, Kiyo, Sumi and Naho were taking care of them. The trio were quite heavily injured. The ones that are fine are Law and Sanji, who didn't even get a single scratch. 

"However, we can't be too drunk of this victory. The other Upper Ranked won't let this slide again. They'll be more cautious with us." Ubuyashiki advised them to not get on their high horse. Not like Law cares about that.

The Hashiras were more than curious with the Voyagers as they are getting weirder and weirder every single time. They were slowly getting used with Brook, but still weren't used to their abilities. 

Now they heard what Sanji could do. From what they heard from the Kakushi, they witnessed pillar of flames from where they were battling. It is said that Sanji generated the pillar of flames from his wrath. Uzui confirmed this as he sees it himself. 

 They were getting more and more curious. Are they really a human? Their achievements weren't something that human could do easily. In addition with some of them had unique ability, they easily outmatched them.

"And I wanted to tell all of you something." All of them were all ears. Ubuyashiki will probably gave them another advice.

"Tonight, I decided to hold a feast to commemorate our victory. Every single one of you were welcomed." All of them were invited to Ubuyashiki's mansion for a feast. The Hashiras absolutely would come. They won't disappoint their master.

"It would be nice for all of you to come." Ubuyashiki smiled.

"Uzui, how was your arm?" Ubuyashiki asked about Uzui's arm. He heard about Law's accomplishment on reattaching it back together. To think there was a way to do that.

"It was a bit awkward at first, but I'm getting used to it! Thank you for asking, Master!" He kneeled. He expressed his gratitude to Ubuyashiki for caring.

"How did you do it?" Shinobu asked how did Law was able to do such thing flawlessly. Curiosity filled her mind. She was a former doctor after all, and yet she still didn't understand how Law did such an impossible thing. 

Law just stood there silently without giving her an answer at all. Law won't tell her anything. He won't tell her. Even if he tell her, she wouldn't be able to comprehend it. Sanji had left awhile ago. He said he had important business.

"But are you sure? You wanted to retire from being a Hashira?" Sanemi looked at him. Sanemi is not that close to Uzui, but he respected him as a comrade. It was too early for Uzui to retire isn't it?

"I made up my mind. Me and the Voyagers had defeated one of the Upper Ranked. I feel like I'm too exhausted to deal with more of this thing. To be fair, the Voyagers are very flashy!" Uzui stated. The Voyagers were very strong. To the point that they could made a demon grovel in fear.

"I won't let you do that." Iguro opposed to Uzui's retirement. The Hashira are the only powerful forces that have a chance to go toe-to-toe with the Upper Moon.

"I won't allow it! Trainees these days don't last long enough to become strong. We need someone of your caliber, even wounded. So you'll fight till you die." Iguro had seen that the resolve and the qualities of the trainees keep decreasing. They need someone powerful.

"We already have a trump card, right?" Uzui refer to the Voyagers. He had seen how powerful they are in real combat. Their strength are beyond all of the Hashira combined. 

"I agree!! They are very strong! They are indeed a powerful and reliable ally!" Rengoku supported Uzui's words. He was saved by Doflamingo and Law. That's a proof how strong they are.

"The balance that hasn't shifted for hundred years had just tipped." Ubuyashiki looked to the sky. Although he can't see the blue sky, he could feel that it was a nice weather today. the birds are chirping happily after all.

"My children, do you understand? This is an omen. Fate is starting to move." Ubuyashiki could feel it. He asked his children if they understood the meaning of defeating one of Upper Moon.

"Muzan Kibutsuji, we will defeat you in this generation. Eventually, we will reach you one day, and your time will definitely come." Ubuyashiki is determined to end Muzan in his generation.
