Urgent Meeting

Ubuyashiki's Mansion, Morning

On this day at Ubuyashiki's Mansion, the Hashiras which consisted from eight of them held an emergency meeting. All of the Hashiras were present including Muichiro who recovered from his injuries from the previous fight against the Upper Rank Five. The meeting also includes the Voyagers such as Zoro, Law, Sanji, Brook and Doflamingo.

The eight Hashiras were all sitting on a floor, waiting patiently for the arrival of Ubuyashiki. Law and Zoro is standing next to the entrance. Doflamingo is leaning on the wall. Brook on the other hand, is tuning his violin on the engawa while humming some tunes. A thick awkward atmosphere is filling the mansion.

"Aww, I'm so jealous. Why don't I have to get to face any upper rank? Why does it have to be this unruly fucks?" The Wind Hashira, Sanemi Shinazugawa broke down after the silence. He feels that it wasn't fair that he haven't got any chances on fighting the Upper Rank demons. The last line is dripping with irritation and hostility.

Sanemi is still wary of the Voyagers. Since he had never trust them at all. He could tell that they have their own twisted agenda in some sense. He is still bitter towards Zoro after the devastating lost that he suffered previously on a fight with Iguro against Zoro.

"You can't control it but nearly, everyone is running into them." Iguro can't help but admit that it was true. The one who has been running across the Upper Moon has always been the Voyagers, and Tanjiro strangely.

"Kanroji, Tokito, how are you guys?" Iguro asks both Mitsuri and Muichiro regarding of their recovery from the previous fight in Swordsmith Village. 

"Oh, right! I'm much better, thanks for asking!" Mitsuri replied with a bright and cheerful smile. She is the one who is injured the least amongst all of them excluding Zoro and Sanji. She is blushing from the question that Iguro asked. Ooh! He's worried about me! 

"Same could be said to me. Although I am not still my full self yet." Muichiro openly shared his current condition while still acting nonchalantly as ever. Although he isn't fully recovered, he could still fight as usual. 

"Hahahaha! It's great then!" Rengoku expresses his relief.

"I deeply expresses my thanks for the doctor who had been treating me for a while before. I gave you my thanks." Muichiro thanked Law. Still, his expressionless tone is still remain cold and void of any emotion as always. Law didn't react to it.

"Honestly if we lose any more Hashira, The Demon Slayer Corps will be in danger. However, it's good that we suffer no casualties amongst us. All thanks to our fellow comrades." Gyomei stated while he is still crying non stop.

"Truly we are thankful for your assistance, Ronin, Black Leg. Due to your help, we managed to slay a lot of Upper Moons and minimize any casualties around. That goes the same for the others." As much as Gyomei really didn't trust them lot, he know better that without any help from the Voyagers the Corps would suffer greater loss. 

"It's not that much of a problem really. I'm just doing my part" Zoro shrugs it off, telling them that he is just doing his job.

"Surely you can count on me now." Sanji smirked, pulling a pack of cigarettes.

"Count on you to fight or sucking up to girls, pinwheel?" Zoro lets out a shit eating grin. Sanji doesn't tolerate well on that.

"Wanna fight, mosshead?!" Sanji throws his pack of cigarettes away. His foot is already generating flames.

"Who do you think you're calling mosshead?!" Zoro unsheathed his sword.

"You two, please! Stop fighting!" Mitsuri tried to extinguish the fight that was about to happen in front of her.

"Fufufufu.....It's an honor." Doflamingo said with such an everlasting evil grin.

"Yohohohoho! I'm delighted to hear that! I could actually cry right now! Ah! I'm dead so I don't have any eyes! Yohohohohoho!" Sanemi winces hearing it from Brook. To be fair, he is still uncomfortable with a skeleton walking around.

Gyomei now realizes why Master really wants them to join the Demon Slayer Corps. Ubuyashiki even went as far as giving them each a title of Honorary Hashira. Of course, the Voyagers would bicker and argue a lot among themselves but their strength is no joke at all.

*Gulp*

"Geez, where's this blind guy? We've been waiting here for a while now." Zoro stated after he took a sip of booze. The aftertaste of the booze left his mouth feeling satisfied for now. The bottle is almost empty. Zoro's patient is running thin.

"Watch your mouth, Ronin." Sanemi warns Zoro for disrespecting Ubuyashiki.

"Have a little bit of patience, I'm sure that man will be here soon." Brook told Zoro to be just a little bit more patient. Ubuyashiki is a sick man after all. 

"But still, it's been 20 minutes." Doflamingo points at his wristwatch. He hates waiting for people. 

*Swish*

"Thank you everyone for waiting so long." Instead of Ubuyashiki who greeted them, it was his wife, Amane. A fair woman with pale skin and large, lavender eyes and short eyebrows. She wears her white-colored right-swept hair in a short ponytail with two strands of hair let loose at the front. On her side was her two children, Kiriya Ubuyashiki and Hinaki Ubuyashiki,

"I am Amane Ubuyashiki and I will represent Kagaya Ubuyashiki at today's Hashira meeting." She greeted the Hashira and Voyagers, telling them that she will be representing Ubuyashiki this time around.

"Due to Master Kagaya's worsening illness, he is no longer able to appear before you. He extends his heartfelt apology" Ubuyashiki right now is in critical condition so  now he needs a lot of rest. That piques Law's interest. What kind of disease does he have?

"I see, I prayed that he'll be alright soon." Brook expresses his worry and wish that Ubuyashiki would live a long life.

"Guess it's just the cripple's waiting game then. Wanna make a bet? I bet he'll di-

*Shing!*

Sanemi and Iguro unsheathed their swords and have them put on Doflamingo's neck. Doflamingo is still smiling wide with no reaction to the two, sharp blades on his neck. Instead, he was amused by it.

"Don't push your luck....." Sanemi sternly warned Doflamingo from talking such matter. It was a sensitive thing for him to say.

"If you talk like that to Master like that one more time, it's not going to be well for you." Iguro also agreed on Sanemi's notion. Doflamingo just smiled, looking at the two weaklings in front of him. Toying with them is so much fun in Doflamingo's eyes.

"What will happen to me then if I say no?" Doflamingo replied with a mocking tone.

"Quit it, all of you." Gyomei opens hi mouth, telling them all to stop fighting right at this moment. Hesitant, The Wind Hashira and Snake Hashira sheathed their swords. Doflamingo just giggled alone.

"I understood. I pray from the bottom of my heart that the light of the master's life continues to burn even one day longer......and that Lady Amane's spirit remains strong" Gyomei prayed.

"I am deeply grateful to all Hashira." Amane expresses her gratitude.
