While all this was going on, Shirohige's funeral was taking place, in which all his crew was present.
It wasn't long before the Redheaded Pirates arrived to pay their respects to the fallen Yonkō.
All the commanders were sad to see their father's grave.
Ace: All the Darks Crows will pay for this.
Marco: I have just been informed that they are on Gyogin Island.
Jozu: We already informed them that no one can approach them.
Ace: That we are waiting to go after them.
At that moment Sanos approached Marco.
Shanks: I wish them the best of luck.
Marco: They are the ones who need luck so that we do not find them, we leave right now.
At that moment the 15 Shirohige commanders prepare for their revenge.
Marco: Father... we will avenge your death, even if it is the last thing we do.
At that moment 5 people approached Marco. They were, Doma, McGuy, Squard, and the Decalvan brothers.
Doma: commander.... I mean Captain, we too want revenge for our father.
Marco watched for a few moments, everyone saw everyone.
Marco: Good, you can follow us.
At that moment 5 ships set sail in search of revenge.
Meanwhile on Gyogin Island.
Purupuru!
Purupuru!
Purupuru!
Purupuru!
They answered the den den mushi.
Robin: Captain we found the poneglyphs Captain.
Katahara: I'm on my way.
At that moment Katahara came out of his cabin.
Katahara: Shiryu protect the ship until I return, also go check on Laxus.
Shiryu just nodded, as Katahara disappeared.
Shiryu: It seems that the Captain became stronger, don't you think Agrom.
Agrom: You can feel a different aura from the Captain without a doubt.
Katahara used soru to disappear and geppo to get to Robin and the others.
Katahara: Robin, I hope you were able to decipher what it says?
Robin: That's right Captain. This contains a message.... In the message, he apologized to the people of Gyojin Island for breaking part of his promise, which included returning to Gyojin Island to fulfill Noah's purpose.
Katahara: Well...
At that moment Katahara kept the Poneglyph in her ring.
Katahara: Now we return to the ship.
Urouge: Captain, don't you think something's wrong...
Katahara; No Gyogin approached, not even the guards.... Looks like I'll have to go see what's going on... you guys go back to the ship.
At that moment Katahara disappeared from the place and headed for Gyogin Island.
It was a few hours before he arrived, from what he saw there were only Gyogins and tritons, what surprised him was the appearance of some humans in the place, then he looked at the famous Mermaid Café.
Katahara appeared inside the cafe with his skills nobody noticed him.
Katahara: It should be around here, that mermaid....
A very tall mermaid, with sharp teeth and large eyes with vertical pupils, as well as other details in her physical appearance typical of sharks. She has short dark hair, almost always covered by a hood.
She wears a sweatshirt only buttoned in the middle, exposing her belly and chest, her dorsal fin protrudes through a slit in the back, and she has a beaded necklace around her waist.
She was Madame Shirley.
Shirley: I know you are here Bloody Crow... I saw it in my vision....
Katahara then appeared from the shadows.
Katahara: Madame Shirley, it seems it wasn't a waste of time to come here.
Shirley: I prophesied that you would appear here, I just couldn't find you...so you're the one who killed Shirohige.
Katahara: You prophesied his death after all.
Shirley: He shouldn't have died at your hands, the one who should have done it...
Katahara: Kurohige... he's dead too.
She just looked at him for a few moments.
Shirley: Then what brings you here.
Katahara: You should know that right...well that doesn't matter, I need to know what you see in my future. ....
Shirley: Follow me...
She led Katahara to a room where she had a crystal ball.
Katahara: Your crystal ball, now tell me what do you see?
Shirley put her hands on the crystal ball.
Shirley: A bloody all-out war between 4 factions.... I also see an even bigger war that will engulf everything.... you are facing someone with a swordsman who uses a fire sword.... Then the darkness envelops you.
Katahara: Interesting.... my future shows wars.... How exciting.
Katahara flashed a smile, which gave Shirley chills.
Katahara: Now tell me why there are humans on the island.
Shirley: That's because of Ryu Tsugikuni.
Katahara: So he was here, that explains everything...what happened to Vander Decken.
Shirley: Ryu killed him and won the favor of King Neptune.
Katahara: What happened to your devil fruit, did you manage to find it? ....
Shirley: It was found by Shirohige's pirates before Ace was captured.
Katahara: Shit, I didn't expect this...so if that's all, it was nice meeting you.
Shirley: You should know this... the Shirohige pirates already know what they use on this island... and they're on their way here.
Katahara: This island... will be destroyed after our fight. .... You saw that in your crystal ball too.
Shirley: No, remember this is Shirohige's territory, so I only reported her arrival.
Katahara only saw her for a few moments.
Katahara: As soon as they arrive, we won't be here anymore.
At that moment Katahara disappeared, she was on her way to her ship.
A short time later she arrived at her ship.
Katahara: Shiryu, how is Laxus.
Shiryu: He's still passed out.
Katahara: Well .... I haven't asked you two yet.
Pointing to Shiryu and Agrom.
Katahara: Shiryu, do you know anything about Haki.
Shiryu: I awakened Armor Haki and Observation Haki.
Katahara: I guess advanced Haki is hard to get.... Agrom, you can control your Sulong form.
Agrom: That's right Captain, but Night King and Dawn King, they said that my Sulong form is different from what they have seen.
Katahara: So Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, I wonder how they will react to Shirohige's death .... How well do you master the electro skill.
At that moment Agrom showed his hand and electricity came out of it, as if he was using chidori.
Katahara: That's good, keep training, Agrom, you have to awaken your Haki as soon as possible, you understand.
Agrom: Yes Captain.
Shiryu: I'm surprised you know so much about the Mink tribe Captain.
Katahara: I like to know about all the people under my command Shiryu, tell everyone that I will be training nearby.
At that moment Katahara disappeared from the deck of the ship and appeared in the middle of the forest.
Three days passed, until the engineers finished putting the "bubble-roof" on Aghata's Shadow.
Also Laffitte had arrived along with Marc and Drust, also some inhabitants of the sky, along with them there were some Gyogin and dozens of children.
Katahara notices them thanks to his Haki of observation, and stopped training to go to the ship.
Laffitte: Miss Robin, where is the Captain, I need to talk to him.
Katahara: Right here Laffitte, I must say that you surprised me, I didn't expect you to bring so many....
Laffitte: As you told me don't use force, there are even 5 mermaids, and of course how can I forget my friend Den.
Katahara: What are those two doing here Laffitte.
Pointing to an octopus, Which has eight tentacles and two human arms. It has medium length bristly hair. It has a sleepy look and usually carries something like a toothpick in its mouth. He wears an unbuttoned blue shirt, under a dark jacket with a half-untied black tie. His left arm pulls through his shirt and the holding of a katana is visible. His body is bichromatic to black and white spirals completely.
The other has a strange composition, its neck is long and does not seem to have a nose, ears or visible mouth, on its mouth instead it has several small stalks as lips. On his legs there is what looks like a skirt and he appears to be wearing black boots. A belt is fastened around her waist.
Laffitte: They were the ones who begged to join Captain, he's a carpet shark named Zeo and he's a poisonous blue-ringed octopus named Hyouzou.
Katahara: I know who they are, they are part of the new Gyogin pirates.
At that moment Den, who is a muscular, slender newt with long, light, curly hair. He wears a black hat and a pair of glasses that look a bit stuck to his hat. He has a goatee beard, a slight mustache and pointed nose, he has a four-leaf clover tattooed on each arm as well as printed on his black T-shirt. He has two earrings in each ear and a necklace around his neck. Like his brother, he carries a bag full of tools attached to his belt.
Den: There is no such thing as the new Gyogin pirates.
Katahara was surprised at the answer.
Katahara: Ryu must have killed Hody Jones right.
Den: That's right Ryu not only killed Vander Decken but Hody Jones as well.
Katahara: Well... anyway, how many newts do we have? And how many Gyogin do we have?
Laffitte: 5 mermaids, and 15 tritons, and 20 Gyogin, and 35 children.
Katahara: That's more than we expected, Robin and Drust you guys will take care of accommodating everyone, we're heading to the surface right away.
