Tatsumi was hard at work, training during his venture to Planet Zulo.

"Okay. I'd say I got this forty times gravity setting done." Tatsumi said. "Time to crank this shit up fifty."

Tatsumi began making his way towards the gravity controller.

"Hello? Tatsumi... you there?" A voice said.

"Huh? What the...?" Tatsumi said. "Oh! King San... that you?"

"Glad you still remember me." King San chuckled. "But I got to ask... Why are you traveling through space in a house-sized ship?... Oh wait, Planet Zulo and the RongoRongo Books I forgot. Good luck with that."

"Good luck? Haven't you heard? Mine said that there's trouble at every corner on Zulo." Tatsumi said. 

"Really? Sounds terrible." King San said. "But you'll have to tell me about it other time, right now; I'm entertaining." 

"Like guests?" Tatsumi said raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, and not just anybody these guys beat your God's Path time by one second each." King San said. "Here they are, in a second less than the time you took... all six of them. I guess it's better to have your record broken by friends, right?"

"Wait, six of them?" Tatsumi said with a bright smile.

The people who King San was referring to was: Akame, Najenda, Sheele, Lubbock, Bulat and Susanoo, who all died when the Tuffles invaded earth.

"And they want to outdo your old training regime as well." King San said.

"That's fucking awesome!" Tatsumi cheered. "All of them made to you at the same time, huh? Are they with you right now?"

"You know they are." King San smirked.

"Hey, is it cool for me to speak to Tatsumi?" Lubbock asked.

"Of course. Place a hand on my shoulder and your set." King San said.

Lubbock walked up to King San and did as he was instructed. 

"Yō, Tatsumi... Can you hear me?" Lubbock said.

"Lub!" Tatsumi cheered.

 "We ran into your friends Sayo and Ieyasu, they showed us how to get here. And they told us what you're up to; about heading to Murasame's home world and bringing us back." Lubbock said.

Akame raised an eyebrow at that last remark.

"If you made it, then I know for sure Bro did." Tatsumi said.  Akame there too, right?"

"It's good to hear your voice again Tatsumi." Akame smiled.

"Did Lord Priest come with you?" Tatsumi asked.

"Nah. But check this out... Sheele's here." Lubbock said. 

"Woah for real?!" Tatsumi said in disbelief. "They told me Sheele blew herself to bits!... She's doing good?"

"Yeah, she's fine." Lubbock said. "They gave her a new body and everything."

"That's great. Good to know you're in one piece, Sheele." Tatsumi said.

"I don't even know you managed to train in this place. The gravity here is ridiculous." Lubbock said.

"You'll get used to it trust me." Tatsumi said. "You should see what I'm doing now... I only have five days until I land on Planet Zulo. I got this gravity set so high it's not even funny. But if I'm not as strong as I can get by the time I land, I might be in some deep shit."

"Wait, what do you mean?" Lubbock asked. "You got to fight somebody?"

"Well, because I was hurt so badly, TJ, Mine, Leone and Chelsea had to go to Zulo without me, we figured that would be our best bet at tracking down the RongoRongo Books... but as soon as they landed someone else showed up with the same thing in mind and whoever they are, they're not alone." Tatsumi said.
