Midnight, Hashira's Training Grounds

Brook, Sanji, Law and Zoro is waiting on huge grassland where they would train with the Hashira per the request of Gyomei. They found a spacious field for the training and decided it will be held there. Now, they're waiting for the Hashira to arrive.

In the spacious grassland in the middle of the night, Brook as usual would go through the field and killing it with his violin like he's Alexander Rybak. After he gave Giyuu some advice, he went on to compose some tunes and would occasionally use his Devil Fruit ability to scare some demon slayers for fun. They were scared shitless since they can't interact with Brook as Brook continues to chase after them in dark places. It was very much entertaining for Brook.

Law is just on the verge of lights out.
He's quote sleepy in this time of the night. He's tired from all the stuff that he got to do today. Morning earlier, he went to tend Ubuyashiki then Butterfly Mansion to borrow some equipment for his research in helping Ubuyashiki from being a cripple his entire life. He also took a blood sample from Nezuko. Law was deeply curious at how Nezuko was able to fully go outside in the sun without any repercussions.

Although Nezuko managed to conquer the sun, there are some demon characteristics that still stuck with her such as her fangs and pupils. She's not a demon, but not a human either. Maybe he could do something with this. Who knows? Maybe a counter agent that could turn demons to humans back? That would be a major breakthrough. He went and pour every devotion he got for the research. He's really tired. Right now, he's functioning over caffeine. If it weren't for that, he would already passed out.

Sanji is smoking as always. He's on his fifth cigarette this time in such a short time. No one knows how he didn't get lung cancer or any other disease yet. It is such a mystery. If he didn't have nothing going on, he would always smoke. Usually to ease his boredom or when he's under stress.

Zoro is lying down on the ground, gazing at the stars. He's bored to death. There are countless thoughts racing his mind. What should he eat for breakfast? When will we face this Muzan? When we will able to get back home? Why is Sanji so ugly? He didn't know the answer to that question. 

"Sheesh. Where are they? And why of all place we have to choose, why this place? I prefer somewhere more secluded if you ask me." Zoro expresses his thought. Zoro had to admit, the vibe here feels peaceful with the moonlight shining bright. But he prefers somewhere secluded.

"No one asks for your opinion." Sanji replied, throwing his fifth cigarette on the ground and stomp on it before moving on his sixth one.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever." Zoro replied with indifferent tone.

"You said that you don't care about the location a moment before and would be okay with anything. So, deal with it. No use complaining right now." Law told Zoro to deal with it. Zoro couldn't give a shit moments before arriving here, so he could just shut up.

"Tch. Fuck you." Zoro flipped a bird with both of his hands to Sanji and Law.

"Touché." Sanji greeted back with his own middle finger. Law didn't reply.

"Zoro-san, next time it's better to think wisely before you decide on a choice. Don't make the same mistake next time, alright? You'll find yourself wouldn't regretting much as you are right now." Brook gave him an advice. 

"Would you ever think twice before asking woman about their panties?" Zoro shot a glare, which made Brook speechless to that reply. Sanji lets out an amused scoffed..

"Where's Doffy?" Zoro asked one crucial question. All of them are here except for Doflamingo. He is nowhere to be seen. He's the only one who isn't here. He's usually gone to manage his business. Being Oyabun isn't easy at all, but he got everything under control. To release some pent-up stress, he would 'play' with demons like toys for fun before slashing them to dices.
