Laxus' group arrived at a room where there were children of all sizes, they also noticed that there was Nami, Franky and Chopper.
Laxus: Looks like we found them, just like the captain said.
Drust: What are they doing here?
Nami was the first to react, and was surprised to see Laxus.
Laxus: Drust, see the condition of the children.
Chopper: Hey, who are you….
But he was silenced by Franky before he could continue speaking.
Franky: Shuuu, maybe you don't know who they are.
Nami: The sexy blonde with the scar is called Laxus Dreyar, he is known as BLACK LIGHTNING, the first commander of the Darks Crows…
Chopper: They are the crew of a Yonkō.
Laxus approached them along with Agrom and Ryuma.
Laxus: What a coincidence to meet again, Nami.
Nami turned red instantly.
Agrom: That you are some kind of robot...
Franky: I'm SUUUUUPEERRRR.
Ryuma: They resemble the servitors trying to create the Adeptus Mechanicus.
Chopper: The adeptus mechanicus??
Nami: Wh…what are Laxus doing here.
Receiving a smile from Laxus.
Laxus: We have orders from our captain to rescue these children.
Nami was moved by such action.
Drust: All the children are fine, we'd better take them to the ship.
Chopper: Of course they're fine. I'll check them myself.
Receiving a look of contempt from Drust.
Drust: You better shut up you fucking stupid animal.
Hearing that, Franky stood in the middle of both of them.
Fraky: Hey! He was just...
Agrom was the one who stood in front of Franky, ready to fight.
Agrom: It will be that you better move aside machine, they are having something right here.
Nami: Stop nobody wants a fight here, Laxus…
Laxus: We didn't come here to fight, don't worry…Drust what's the matter.
Drust just looked at Laxus for a few seconds before speaking.
Drust: Let's take the children...
At that moment a smoke began to enter the room.
Laxus' group took notice, but before they could react, Drust took over.
Drust: Sleeping, interesting….
While releasing a cloud of blue color that eliminated the sleeping pill.
Drust: Looks like someone doesn't want us to rescue the children.
Elsewhere, Dabi, Augur and Shiryu were looking for Caesar, but they couldn't find him anywhere, they kept walking around the place without finding anyone, until they came to a place where there was a guy with a white coat, and a paddle stuck in his beard, along with a law that was on the ground.
Dabby: Who are you…
Van Augur: Vice Admiral Vergo... aka Corazon,
Dabi: Bad luck mate, but look on the bright side, we won't kill you... Attack.
Shiryu: I haven't had any fun in a long time.
Throwing himself into a fight against Vergo, who was surprised to see them.
On the other hand, Monet was fleeing the place to tell Caesar about the new intruders.
In another part, specifically in a room where there was only garbage, they had to break the wall to get in.
Katahara: So I was finally able to find this place.
Robin: Captain, why are we in this place?
Aslaug: Why don't we just destroy the whole place, and search through the rubble, that would be easier.
Receiving a disapproving look.
Katahara: Keep quiet Aslaug, you might scare him.
At that moment a large silhouette of a snake could be seen.
A serpentine dragon that apparently allows him to fly by producing clouds of flame.
Dragon: Who are you?
Katahara: Momonosuke…
Dragon: What… do you want?
Katahara: You seem hungry little one…
As he brought out plates of food, which his crew had prepared.
Dragon: Don't be silly…a warrior wouldn't be hungry after just 10 days of fasting food…haa…haa.
Katahara: Even so, eating is always good for a warrior right.
Dragon: You… are a pirate….
Katahara: Unfortunately if it is…
Dragon: You lie…the pirates are giant men with a weight close to 400KG…and they are more violent, they seem to be stronger…
Katahara replied with a smile, while Aslaug and Robin laughed.
Katahara: Believe it or not, I'm strong… I'm among the strongest pirates, little one….
Dragon: So you are an alien.
Katahara: Why don't you eat a little bit… that will make you hungry.
Momonosuke: I would like to, but I can't, I don't know how.
Katahara: Then just go back to your human form.
Momonosuke: Hey, can I go back? how do i do it
Katahara: You just have to relax, and everything will be fine...
Momonosuke did as Katahara said and slowly transformed into his human form.
Momonosuke's appearance matches the stereotype of a samurai found in ancient Japan, with a topknot and shaved top of his head. While his unshaven hair is black like his father's, the parts of his hair that are shaved are turquoise like his mother's and sister's.
It is quite short. Momonosuke's typical attire is a pink kimono with peach patterns, matching his name ("momo" means "peach" in Japanese), as well as a pair of geta, he also wore a red scarf and a purple obi.
Katahara: Quite a samurai huh... eat child.
Robin: A Samurai, I didn't think to see one outside of Wano... How cute...
Aslaug: One of them huh, I guess it's because of him...
Katahara: You like food….
Momonosuke: It's very tasty...
Katahara: How about eating somewhere a little nicer?
Momonosuke: But how do we do that the place is closed.
Aslaug: Our captain made a door for us.
Momonosuke kept eating, until he finished the 3 plates of food that Katahara had given him.
Katahara: Tell me boy, you want revenge.
What Katahara said made Momonosuke freeze, and he turned to Katahara with a confused face.
Katahara: Do you want to take back what is yours?
Momonosuke: What…what.
Katahara: You want revenge, for everything they did to you... you want to avenge your parents...
Momonosuke: What do you know about that? You know nothing.
As I started to cry...
Katahara: I can fulfill your revenge…. Revenge for KAIDO….
Momonosuke: Kaido... Yes... Yes...
Katahara: Take back your land, Wano….
Momonosuke: If I want to do it….
As he spoke swallowing his snot and showing his face full of tears.
This had moved Robin, even Aslaug, she was a little moved to see the boy crying
Momonosuke: Kaido took away everything I loved the most...
He said through tears...
Katahara: I can take back what is yours... if you become my apprentice...
What Katahara said took the 3 people who were there by surprise, both the two girls and the boy...
Katahara: Become my apprentice, and you'll be a better swordsman than your father ever was... you'll be able to take back what's rightfully yours...
Momonosuke: I….
Katahara: Only I can do it... Kin'emon and no one else can give you the revenge you want... but I will give you that and more...
Momonosuke: I... I wish to be your apprentice.
Katahara: From today and forever, you will be my apprentice, whoever wishes to harm you will have to go through my corpse to do so, I will give you what you always dreamed of and more Momonosuke, but remember this, I can also take everything you have and more if I will betray
Momonosuke: I never betrayed you… Master.
Katahara: Alright… Now let's go find that stupid guardian of yours.
Momonosuke: Yes master.
As Katahara held Momonosuke on the shoulders.
"It was simpler than I thought, this child suffered and will suffer a lot if he follows that path" Katahara thought.
In another part of the island, the island group Laxus' group was escorting the children, along with Nami's small group.
