Marco is showing how truly awesome he is by saving the lives of the pirates who are being infected by the ice oni plague, Queen orders the pirates he saved to attack Marco and reluctantly they do it,

Marco doesn't seem to care all that much as a lot of pirates attack him, he tells Robin and brook to go to the Carl's and then takes a lot of blades, but just smirks and spreads his wings

He takes off and grabs zoro flying up

Flashback

We see Ace and Ryo on Whitebeard's ship

Ace: We are begging you!

Ryo: please come on!

Whitebeard: I said no, now both of you drop it, how many times do I have to tell you this, I told you who the second division commander was before you, didn't I ace and I told you why the position was vacant

Ryo: Yeah he was a samurai named Kozuki oden, from the land of wano

Ace: He died a tragic death when he left the crew and you kept his position vacant

Izo: Wano's isolation policy played a part in that too, we didn't know, in other words since no info got in or out, it was years before we heard Lord oden died

Ace: yeah I get that but wasn't kaido the one that killed him

Ryo: Yeah forced him to stand in boiling oil and then we he survived that, he shot him dead, So don't you want revenge

Marco eating a pineapple: We thought about forcing ourselves into wano and starting a fight, but there's a hundred different ways that plan could go south, win or lose, we'd take a heavy toll

Ace: you think so?

Marco: yeah it would be an all out war, our crew aside it would drag innocent people into it too

Ryo: Then we'll go alone! You just have to let us, right Ace

Ace: Yeah!

Ryo: We made a promise are you gonna let us go back on them

Ace: We will go back and take kaido's head!

Whitebeard got angry: even Kozuki oden couldn't defeat kaido, don't over estimate yourselves! He'd crush you both! Now sit down!

Whitebeard swings his weapon and hits them both over the head

And a grimy old man laughs at them

Ryo; (I have to get stronger)

Ryo gets up and walks off

Marco: where are you going Ryo

Ryo: to train, don't bother me

Flashback over

Ryo keeps on moving

Ryo: (Yamato I've almost fulfilled my promise, just a little longer)

*flashback again*

It's not long after Ace left and Ryo decided to stick around for a while,

Yamato: so you aren't going with your brother?

Ryo: Not yet, I kinda like it here

Yamato smirks a little: Or you just like me

Ryo: Maybe a I do, but come on let's have a spar again

Yamato grins and she gets ready

They stare each other down and rush in

Ryo: RAIKIRI!
