Dressrosa
Dock
Kairi watched Sengoku lands on the port. She sighed and lazily waved her hand. "Hi", she greeted. Sengoku grabbed her neck. "I missed you, Kairi!!!", Sengoku showered tears. "Tsuru-san is also here", Kairi noticed the old woman.
"Sorry, I wasn't able to celebrate your party", Tsuru apologized. "That's not a problem", Kairi bowed. Sengoku and Fujitora started to argue about what the blind Admiral did. "I heard that the Vice-Admiral went running around tending the citizen's wound instead of fighting", Tsuru crossed her arms. Kairi felt chills on her spine.
"About that-", she gulped.
"Congratulations. I thought I'll be watching another brat rush into death as well", Tsuru patted her shoulder. "I don't want to miss what I should be protecting after all", Kairi seemed to remember a distant memory.
"Then, why haven't you caught the pirates yet?!", Sengoku shouted. Tsuru sat in front of Fujitora and exchange few words.
Kairi looked at the fair weather.
It's time to escape.
"The odds have changed", Fujitora sensed that the dice was in the wrong side.
"Catch all the pirates!!!", Fujitora ordered.
Kairi unwrapped her spear and was prepared to join the raid. Tsuru grabbed on her cape and she was dragged along falling on her butt. "Tsuru-san", Kairi looked at the old woman. "It's good to see you again", Tsuru smiled.

Elephant Graveyard Island
Kairi sneaked into the waters of the island hiding in its thick fog. She stood in front of a tunnel. She gulped and let the chilling breeze embrace her. She looked around wondering if someone already arrived.
The black head silently entered the tunnel.
You should keep on living, Kairi. You know what, as long as you live. You can see the sun rising again.
She entered and saw the five already waiting for her in the mouth of the tunnel. "We figured out that you might chicken out as you look at this entrance. We came here to fetch you", Bloom winked. Their hands are extended towards her. "Guys", Kairi pressed her lips stopping her from crying.
Gale and Morwen cried. "What's with this atmosphere? It's like we're all going to die", Morwen whined. "I won't let that happen", Lehar assured. "Yeah, I will never leave your side", Morwen leeched on the panda. Baiju showed a map. "Even if we don't want to look at this, we have to know the enemy's base", Baiju pointed at the dungeon area.
"There are couple of places where they might have kept Alon", Baiju marked the places. "Three places", Bloom said in a serious tone. "I know everyone wanted to be with Lehar this time. But, if we go in group, we won't reach Alon on time", Kairi clenched her fist. "I'll be going with Baiju", Bloom raised her hand. "Gale, stay with Lehar", Morwen pushed Gale towards the huge panda. "Are you sure?", Kairi asked. "Gale and Lehar will check on the nearest area from this tunnel", Morwen smiled at Gale. Morwen was being considerate this time.
"Guys, can we just do this? Just this time", Gale played with his fingers. He placed his hand on the middle. "Let's come back in this place. All of us", Gale smiled.

Kairi breathed heavily. "Are you alright? Kairi", Sengoku knelt down to check on her. Her eyes are constricted as she remembered something.
