Garp: Angry. "Akagami... The one who put luffy on the path to become a pirate!"

"It's the akagami pirates!"

Law managed to get his ship away.

"Prepare for surgery! They've both lost far too much blood! Prepare a blood transfusion!"

Bepo: "Senchou! This is dangerous! I know it's rare to see one of the yonkou, but hurry and close the doors!"

Law: Lean against the door and watch marineford. (Miyuki... Why won't you escape. Akagami no shanks...)

Back at marineford.

"Impossible! The skirmish between emperors kaidou and akagami was just a few days ago in the new world! He made it all the way here already?!"

Buggy: Shocked. "Sh-shanks?!"

Shanks: Look around and he saw buggy on the sky.

Buggy: "W-what are you doing here?!"

Shanks: Look at luffy's hat on his hand and then he toss it to buggy. "Buggy!"

Buggy: "Y-your straw hat?" Catch it.

Shanks: "Give it to luffy."

Buggy: Annoyed. "Why do I have to do that?! I refuse! I was in the middle of doing a magnificent fade-out from this war! Do you think I'm gonna keep drawing attention to myself?!"

Shanks: "Really? That's a shame. I had a treasure map I wanted to give you, too..."

Buggy: Disbelief. "Really?!"

Shanks: "Yeah. It leads to a great treasure trove!"

Buggy: Unsure. "Oh, come on! That's way too good to be true! You think you can fool me with a story like that?"

Shanks: Turned around. "Is that so? I'll just give it to someone else, then."

Buggy: Flustered. "Wha-?! Oh, crap, wait! I'll do it! I'll give it to him right away!" About to fly off to luffy.

Shanks: "Wait a moment buggy! There's one more thing I need you to do."

Buggy: "Huh? You bastard! Do you think I'm your slave or something! Why do I have to do more work here!"

Shanks: Smile. "If you do it I will give all of the treasure map I have to you."

Buggy: Tempted. "A-all of it? You sure?"

Shanks: Nod. "All of it."

Buggy: Grinning. "Alright! I'm in! So what you want me to do?"

Shanks: "You wait there for a moment." He walk to somewhere.

"Okashira! You haven't seen luffy and miyuki for ten years! Don't you want to take a look at them?"

Shanks: Smiled. "Well... I would like to see luffy but..."

He walked around.

Shanks: "If we met now... It would break our promise, wouldn't it... Luffy?" Turned serious. "For now..."

He turned his head and look at miyuki that were still crying and wandering around without knowing where she's going.

Shanks: Saddened. "My poor little girl... Look what they have done to you." Go to her.

Miyuki: Crying loudly. "Aaaargh... Ahhh... Ahaha..."

Shanks: Cup her cheek. "Miyuki..." Wipe her tears. "I'm sorry for not arriving sooner... You must've endure a lot to hide your pain for luffy. I know you suffer a lot more than that."
