"I know I might be retconning Ryo's strength a bit but it's not a huge deal now is it"

The brothers are busting through the castle clashing with beast pirates as the rest of the strawhats get themselves into certain situations

We cut to Yamato treating Momo's wounds

Yamato: this brings back memories, of some friends of mine, that is to say they suffered some injuries on my account

Momo: I'm confused, you hurt them?, you beat them in fights is that what you're trying to say

Yamato: Well I beat one of them but the other beat me, but even if I had claimed both of those wins, in my heart I was lost, they showed me the way no more than that, they showed me the meaning of like, that's what I owe to Ace and Ryo

We go to way back when on the spade pirates ship, they are heading to onigashima

Pirate: that must be the island where the children are being held, certainly looks Foreboding enough, huh?

We then see the familiar sight of a pair of fox ears, long red hair and a tail as he jumps down from the birds next

Ryo: yeah well it's not like we didn't sign up for this

Ace: this might get ugly, I'm gonna kick your ass, kaido, i hope you're ready

They are seen taking out some beast pirates

Ryo: alright we gotta move

Ace: yeah let's go

Skull: with a big gate like that I thought the guard would put up more of a fight, kind of a let down really

Cornelia: it's a good sign but let's not get cocky yet, we are still dealing with an emperor

Skull: I know, I know

They get to a big room

Ace: that's weird no-one's here

'Ryo's ears twitch'

Ryo: Nope you're wrong, Up there!

He points and we see Yamato jumping down holding her club

Ryo grips his sword and rushes in clashing with Yamato and then taking her by surprise and kicking her in the stomach sending her back

Ryo: (Hmm that was too easy)

They then get p ambushed by a ton of beast pirates but take them down

Ace and Ryo stay behind while the crew rescues the kids

Yamato then bursts out of the rubble

Ryo: well this one is persistent

Ace: Yeah I can see that, you wanna take them

Ryo: let's do it together

They both rush in and Yamato does the same

Ace: Who the hell are you! Tell me your name!

Yamato: You both tell me yours!

Ryo appears having used thunder cloak with a sword above Yamato

Ryo: my name is Ryo!

Ryo brings the sword down on her and she blocks creating a shockwave

And then ace appears, Ryo uses her club to jump off of and Ace clauses with her

Ace: and my name's Ace!

Ace/Ryo: and we aren't leaving till we take kaido's head!
