Kaizoku did the unthinkable and swapped minds with Tatsumi. He was in Tatsumi's body and Tatsumi was in Kaizoku's beaten and bloodied body.

"Why am I over there...?!" Tatsumi struggled to say as he collapsed to the ground in a heap.

"Nice trick, huh?" Kaizoku chuckled. 

"Kaizoku sir." Sidii said as he tossed the tracker back to Kaizoku.

"Now let's head back to the ship." Kaizoku smirked.

"Yes sir." Sidii said.

The both of them flew back to the ship.

"This is bad... I can barely move. No way I could have seen this coming, but I can see why he decided to injure himself." Tatsumi said. "Oh shit! The others! I've got to get to them. If they run into those two, they won't stand a chance. This guy's body is damaged goods... how the fuck am I supposed to get to them in time."

With Esdeath, at Torosu's ship: 

"Well, Torosu really did step out, huh?" Esdeath chuckled. 

Esdeath then proceeded to mercilessly wipeout every soldier on and around the ship and then went inside.

With Tatsumi:

"Shit, they won't stand a chance in hell." Tatsumi said. "I've got to hurry!"

With Esdeath:

"The game is up Torosu, you bastard." Esdeath said. "If Kaizoku stayed behind during that whole mess that can only mean that the Rongo Books are still here near the ship somewhere. If that's the case, it's only a matter of time until they find the books with that radar they have. They'll be here before too long. I'd better get myself cleaned up."

Esdeath then went to the bathroom of Torosu's ship.

After a shower, washing her face and watching the blood go down the drain; Esdeath looked in the mirror.

"Impressive. Those health pills that Stylish makes really do the trick." Esdeath said. 

Esdeath then returned her attention back to the mirror, and after looking for any cut, bruise, or abrasion on her naked body and finding nothing, Esdeath was surprised.

"Not a single blemish." Esdeath smirked.

Esdeath then picked up her ripped, torn and bloody Imperial uniform. 

"Well, this thing is completely wasted." Esdeath said as she encased her uniform in ice then shattered it. 

Something caught Esdeath's eye in the closet.

It was an off-white sleeveless shirt that stopped and the stomach and next to it were pants that were also white and knee-high black leather boots.

"Someone was smiling down on me today." Esdeath said, swaying her hips as she made her way over to said clothes.

TJ, Leone and Chelsea were closing in on Torosu's ship.

"There it is!" TJ shouted. "Right down there!"

"Let's go!" Leone said as the three of them flew down the ship.

"Those power sources are definitely them." Esdeath said as she taped her hands and wrists. "I'd better mask my power, I can't make my wish if they know I'm coming, now can I."

"Doesn't look like anyone is here." Chelsea said. "Let's strike while the iron's hot."

"Aunt Chelsea wait." TJ said. 

"What's up TJ?" Leone said. 

"The radar says the Books aren't inside the ship, the signal is coming from the outside." TJ said.
