------Kamoshida's Palace------

Everything was finally falling in place. The required and needed items from weapons and firearms to medications were prepared, the calling card was sent, and thus the Treasure should've taken shape by now. It was soon going to be over, that hellish nightmare of Kamoshida's endless harassment of the volleyball was about to end. Just a little bit more. If everything went right, he would confess all of his crimes with his own mouth. Even though Joker hated him a lot for everything he's done for the volleyball team, he still mentally prayed and hoped that he wouldn't end up suffering from a mental shutdown and die. Being thrown behind bars unjustly is one thing, but being responsible for taking a person's life away was a whole different thing.

"Man, it's huge!" Skull widened his eyes.

"What do you think?! It's just as I said! Now we can steal it! Ahh... the shine brings tears to my eyes..."

"...It kinda pisses me off. Why's it so pretty...? Isn't this Kamoshida's desires?" Panther scoffed.

"T-Treasure..." Mona's eyes sparkled.

"Mona...?" Joker trailed.

"Uh, the cat's actin' awfully excited."

"Hey, Mona?"

"What's wrong? Is something...?" Panther didn't finish her sentence.

"Meeeeeoooooowwwwww! Mrrrrrrrowwwww!" Mona was purring loudly as hugging the crown.
