Opening his eyes again, Mirage finds himself in front of Daniel, who was using his Devil Fruit power to create two metal claws to tear him apart.
Mirage:'Time hasn't passed? Whatever! Let's see if the Devil Fruit copy works here too.'
Determined to test his new power, Mirage let the claws reach him. The moment they pierced his clothes and touched his skin, both claws were completely absorbed.
Daniel: "WHAT?!"
For the first time during the entire fight, Daniel's smile was gone, replaced by a shocked expression that quickly returned.
Daniel: "I don't know what the hell you did... but boy! You've finally got my attention!"
Excited by the unknown power Mirage had shown, Daniel disconnected from the katana's metal and backed away slightly before unleashing a flurry of attacks with his Tekko Kagi.
Daniel: "Look, no matter how I attack you, you try to absorb it... you're even like my Devil Fruit... so this will work too."
Absorbing his Tekko Kagi, Daniel molded small blades from his fingers and began to attack.
Daniel: "L'Ordre des Cartes: Les 52 Coups (The 52 Blows)."
A bit arrogant with his newly copied power, Mirage didn't think much and tried to absorb the cuts. To his dismay, it didn't work. Instead, the speed and force of Daniel's attack caused the tiny blades on his fingers to produce minuscule wind blades, and these blades bypassed the Devil Fruit ability. However, before Daniel could get close for the last cut of his 51-strike technique...
????: "MONSTER! HELP- AHHHHHH!!"
????: "DANIEL-SAMA! PLEASE HELP US! PLEA- AHHHHHHH!"
?????: "DEMON! GET AWAY FROM ME!! NO, NO NO-AHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
???????: "I DID IT! I STABBED HIM! WHAT...?! IMPOSSIBLE! IT DIDN'T GO THROUGH! SORRY! SORRY! SORR- AHHHHHHHHHH!"
Hearing the screams of despair, Daniel, in the middle of his attack, glanced away for an instant and froze at the scene he saw. This gave Mirage a chance to retreat, and out of curiosity, he also turned toward the screams. There, in the midst of the chaos, he saw Damian wielding his bident. With every movement of the weapon, dozens died, either cut in half by the blade or ripped apart by the bident's shaft.
Those "lucky" enough not to be killed by the spear and managed to advance didn't have a much different fate. Some tried to attack Damian's torso and were crushed by his extra hands. Others, taking advantage of his busy hands, tried to attack his head, the worst mistake of their lives. Using his horns like barbecue skewers, Damian impaled their bodies, killing them and leaving their corpses hanging like meat in a butcher shop. And those who no longer fit on Damian's horns met the worst possible death. They were chewed up by Damian's teeth. The fortunate ones died with a single bite to the head, while the unlucky ones lost their legs and arms but didn't die instantly, spending their last moments in agony.
Looking at what his friend was doing, Mirage could only have one thought.
Mirage: "It's a good thing this guy is on my side..."
Deciding not to focus on the massacre his friend was causing, Mirage turned to Daniel, who was still watching the scene. Seeing his opportunity, Mirage charged his katanas with electricity and lunged at Daniel, but as he advanced, Daniel's arms vibrated slightly before he turned to Mirage.
Daniel: "How rude... can't you see I'm enjoying the view?"
Mirage: "This is a fight, you idiot! There's no such thing as being polite."
Staring each other down, Daniel and Mirage prepared to re-engage. In the blink of an eye, the two vanished from their spots and reappeared, colliding with one another.
Daniel: "You're pretty fast when you're not standing still like a door."
Mirage: "You're also pretty fast for someone who hides behind a barrier!"
The two then vanished again and reappeared a few feet away. This continued for a few good minutes until they were both distracted.
????/???: "IT'S SOOOOO HOT!"
They heard a strange voice, which sounded like two voices overlapping at the same time, creating a voice that was a mix of a boy and a girl. Turning toward the voice, Mirage recognized Damian, who was a good distance in the air with Mèi in his hands.
Dami/???: "Hunger Dance: Пiсня Марних Полiв (Song of the Barren Fields)."
Before reaching the sky, Damian and Mèi stood still, observing everything they had done. After a few seconds, Mèi began to suck up all the blood nearby.
Mèi: "Thanks for the meal!"
All the surrounding blood then began to crawl toward Damian and Mèi. As it got close, the blood started swirling until it became a vortex that swallowed them both. Moments later, the vortex disappeared, having been completely absorbed by the two.
Dami/Mèi: "Wow... that was unexpected... wait, what?! Why am I hearing your voice Dami/Mèi?!"
As the two realized their voices were "synchronized" (in quotation marks because even though they were coming out at the same time, it was still clear there were two voices and they could be differentiated by tone, emotion, and sound. So even if the voices were in sync, they were not in harmony), Damian asked Mèi to make a mirror out of blood, and even though Mèi didn't know what a mirror was, she managed to make one. It seemed their thoughts were also in some kind of sync.
Dami/Mèi: "Well... a blood mirror isn't the most useful thing..."
Although they couldn't see much detail because a blood mirror only reflects in, you guessed it, blood-red, the two noticed that the details of Damian's hair were different. Instead of the white spots resembling a starry sky, it was the gray crown of Mèi's hair.
Dami/Mèi: "How interesting... it seems we're in some kind of super incomplete fusion."
Seeing their situation, Damian asked Mèi to manifest in her "human" form.
Dami/Mèi: "This is unexpected...!"
When Mèi manifested, she had an extra pair of arms, but these arms were made of blood. With curiosity in their eyes, the two began to move in sync, but again, there was something wrong with this synchronization; it seemed stiff, even robotic. It was as if they were both trying to copy each other's movements. They continued for a few moments before they heard the sound of metal colliding.
clack ting!
Dami/Mèi: "Who?"
Turning toward the sound, Damian and Mèi saw Mirage and the guy who killed Yosuke's mother clashing their blades against each other. The two then looked at each other and simply nodded in agreement.
Dami/Mèi: "We can do it! We just have to trust the rhythm."
Holding Mèi (the weapon) in his hands, Damian and Mèi (the spirit) began to perform movements similar to the Hopak dance (a Ukrainian folk and national dance). They danced until they found the right rhythm, and then they went for the real thing, incorporating martial arts into the Hopak, creating Boyovyy Hopak (a Ukrainian martial art based on the Hopak dance and other arts).
Following the flow of Boyovyy Hopak, Damian's blood began to boil like in the War Dance, but this time he had Mèi to help! Seeing that Damian's blood was about to boil, Mèi absorbed all the blood that came out of Damian's body and put it back in place.
Because of what Mèi was doing, the blood didn't turn into steam; instead, it just got hotter and hotter and ho... you get the idea. The heat the blood was providing was so high that Mèi's metal couldn't handle it and started to slowly melt, and Damian was emitting his own heat that could rival the inside of an industrial oven. Additionally, from time to time, small red lightning bolts crackled on his skin.
Dami/Mèi: "I think this is our limit!"
Thinking they couldn't take any more, Damian and Mèi launched themselves into the air toward Mirage and Daniel. In the air, the two began to spin on their own axis. This made the wind, instead of helping to cool them down, do the opposite. The heat emitted by Damian's body was so strong that it even heated the gusts of wind coming against him (it was like Damian was inside a completely closed car on a summer day and thought it would be a great idea to turn the hot air on full blast).
Dami/Mèi: "IT'S SOOOOO HOT!"
Realizing the great foolishness they had committed, the two let out a scream that caught the attention of Mirage and Daniel. The two watched Damian for a while before Mirage decided to leave that spot, while Daniel was intrigued by the sudden appearance of the four-armed Oni and didn't move an inch, until... his arms began to vibrate uncontrollably and involuntarily shot up in the direction of Damian's attack, and then a barrier appeared.
Daniel: "Why are you two so agitated? He's just a kid, even with all that momentum... what?!"
As Daniel spoke, his arms began to vibrate again, and then one, two, three, four more barriers were created on top of the first one.
Daniel: "Don't you think this is a bit much...? No one has ever—"
Dami/Mèi: "Hunger Dance: Пiсня Марних Полiв."
Stopping his spin, Damian made one last swing with Mèi (who was deformed from her metal melting), which carried all the blood it had and threw it at Daniel. On top of this, there was a current of air produced by the force of Damian's swing, and this current was the first thing to hit the barrier, which...
BOOM BOOM
As soon as the gust of wind hit the barrier, it was easily broken, and the gust of wind continued, colliding with the second barrier. However, unlike the last one, this one was much more resistant, but it was also destroyed by the gust of wind, which was then dispersed due to the lack of force to maintain its power. With the sudden end of the gust of wind, the next thing to hit the barriers was the blood that Mèi had accumulated.
BOOM BOOM
Just as with the gust of wind, the accumulated blood hit the first barrier head-on (or the third if you count the two that the gust of wind had destroyed), and the blood continued to the next barrier, breaking it with relative ease. Without wasting time, the blood collided with the last barrier, but this barrier was definitely more powerful than the other four. As the torrent of blood that Mèi had accumulated hit the barrier, it seemed like it wouldn't give in, but as the saying goes:
"Dripping water hollows out a stone, not by force but by persistence."
This could be translated to a torrent of blood colliding against a barrier for several seconds before breaking the moment the last drop of blood touched the barrier. As the barrier dissipated, Damian, who was still in the air because of the torrent of blood, came down hard to try to cut Daniel in half, but just as it had happened with Mirage, Mèi's blade sank into Daniel's body.
Mèi: "I don't know what this guy is doing! But I don't like it! Get me out of him now!"
Damian: "What a cool trick... it's a Paramecia, isn't it?"
'That's weird... the connection with Mèi disappeared... why is that?'
Daniel: "Oh! You're quite smart. People usually think I have a Logia. What gave me away?"
'What is this thing made of?! It's so heavy I can't even move an inch.'
Damian: "Ta-da~ I know I'm smart. I'd love to talk more about how to identify Devil Fruits, but... I have a deal to keep."
Saying these words, Damian, with a simple flick of his wrist, pulled Mèi out of Daniel's body. He then stuck Mèi into the ground and walked toward Daniel.
Daniel: "I take back what I said; what kind of stupid person would put away their weapon against an enemy?"
Damian: "Why would I use it if you're apparently immune to attacks containing metal, right... Mirage?"
Having returned with bandages wrapped around his injuries, Mirage came back and stood next to Damian. As he got close, his forehead began to sweat.
Mirage: "You're right, he ate a Devil Fruit that allows him to mold all kinds of metal."
Damian: "A mold man... interesting, I wonder how far he can use this power. And I can assume you found some weakness of his, right?"
'He's sweating just from this? Now I'm much cooler than before.'
Mirage: "Of course I did! Who do you think I am?"
Damian: "Do I need to say it?"
Daniel: "L'Ordre des Cartes: La Distribution Fatale (The Fatal Distribution)."
Seeing that the two young men were ignoring him, Daniel decided to attack them. His attack consisted of launching small wind blades in a relatively random fashion, as if he were dealing cards for a poker table.
Damian: "What a boring guy."
Having noticed the attack, Mirage quickly retreated, letting the attack hit the ground, which created a mini-crater upon collision. Damian, on the other hand, also saw the attack coming, but unlike his friend, he didn't even try to dodge, taking the full blow. As the blades touched him, a smoke explosion emerged, hiding Damian's body. Daniel then turned to where Mirage had retreated, but not before saying a few words.
Daniel: "For a guy who had so much flair, not even being able to dodge a single blow... that's pretty pathetic."
As those words came out of Daniel's mouth, a mini-explosion could be heard, coming directly from where Damian was. Hearing this sound, Daniel quickly turned around, only to see Damian completely unharmed, with his fist inches from his face.
Damian: "You want to know something? I don't need to know your weaknesses anymore... after all, a good punch to the face should be enough."
With his fist inches from Daniel's face, a kind of metal mask began to emerge from Daniel's face, managing to "block" Damian's fist from hitting Daniel's skull head-on, but emphasis on the quotes. Even though Daniel wasn't hit by Damian's punch directly, he was still thrown away by Damian's brute force.
Damian: "Who's pathetic now?"
Without saying a word, Daniel got up from the ground with a calm smile on his face.
Daniel: "Ah... it's been so long since I've found such interesting toys...! I'm going to love breaking you both!"
In the last words Daniel spoke, his voice sounded a bit strange... it was as if more than one voice was coming out of his mouth. And then, as soon as he finished speaking, Daniel advanced at full speed against Damian.
Daniel: "L'Ordre des Cartes: Le Coup de la Maison (The House's Strike)."
While advancing, Daniel prepared a technique to try to hit Damian, which consisted of Daniel retracting one of his bladed hands and then passing it to the one in his other hand, thus creating a kind of claw in its place. But that wasn't all; after creating the claw, Daniel's arm began to emit a faint glow, and then a second claw on top of the first was created, resembling the material the barriers were made of.
Damian: 'That voice... could it be?'
"What an interesting way to use a barrier! It's made from a living weapon, isn't it?"
Ignoring what Damian said for a moment, Daniel continued his attack. After making the barrier claw, he approached Damian and tried to pierce his lower ribs from the bottom up, also trying to hit his heart, but...
Daniel: "Living weapon...? Ah! You mean the alchemical weapons."
'So tough! Even though these barriers can rip through steel... they couldn't even pierce half his arm.'
Before the barrier could get close to Damian's ribs, he put his arm in the way, trapping the barrier claw there. Daniel, realizing he was trapped, canceled the barrier and tried to retreat, but before he could, Damian grabbed his arm.
Damian: "Alchemical weapon... nah! I prefer living weapon, but enough small talk... Mirage, it's time to stop resting."
Hearing his friend's call, Mirage reappeared next to Damian while stretching.
Mirage: "Come on, man... my knee still hurts."
Damian: "I told you many times to be careful with that knee."
Mirage: "And I told you I'd take care of it. Now let's wipe that smile off his face!"
Having finished their mini-argument, Damian then spun Daniel around for a few seconds and then threw him into the air.
Mirage: "Ascension: Waterfall."
In the air, Daniel was still a bit dazed from the spinning, and because of this, he wouldn't be able to defend against Mirage's attack, but... again, his body started to vibrate slightly, and then blades came out of the sides of his forearms, and after that, Daniel's body turned toward Mirage's attack and positioned his arms to block it.
Daniel: "Ah... thanks, boys."
Mirage: "Not so fast! L'Ordre des Cartes: Les 52 Coups."
As Daniel got into a defensive stance, Mirage quickly reabsorbed the katanas and turned them into similar claws that Daniel had been using earlier. This trick made Daniel's attempt at defense completely useless. With the claws made, Mirage then performed the exact movements of the technique Daniel had used on him before Damian arrived, which wasn't the entire technique, but it was enough to cause some good damage.
Daniel: "ENOUGH!"
'He copied my technique?!'
After a few somewhat superficial cuts (because Mirage didn't have enough physical strength to replicate the technique 100%, so he had to compensate for it with the use of Electro, which wasn't the same as the wind blades, but was enough to replicate about 70% of the technique's force and bypass Daniel's absorption ability), Daniel then exploded in a barrier that threw Mirage away.
Damian: "Well, well... so you know how to use the basics of that barrier of yours! I thought you only knew how to make those barrier walls."
After Mirage was thrown away, Damian jumped to attack Daniel with a punch using his two right arms.
Daniel: "Boy... you'll see what I'm capable of with my barriers!"
Seeing Damian coming, Daniel first made a floor out of a barrier to suspend him in the air, and then he made a construct of a sledgehammer out of a barrier and swung it in a wide motion against Damian, who continued his attack.
The moment Damian's fists met Daniel's hammer, they collided for a few moments before Damian was thrown hard against the ground, creating a crater and a human-shaped hole.
Mirage: "Ishtamariya: Kerael."
Having returned after being thrown away, Mirage used Kalev's technique and quickly exploded in a flash of lightning, advancing to cut Daniel.
Daniel: "You're back already?"
And Daniel, noticing Mirage's return, unmade the sledgehammer and then made a small barrier in the area where the cut would hit. The moment Mirage's sword hit the barrier, Daniel grabbed Mirage and threw him to the ground next to Damian, also making a small crater.
Daniel: "How pathetic, damn it! How do you expect to fulfill the deal with the little worm!"
Hearing the provocation, both Mirage and Damian got up from the craters.
Mirage: "Hey Dami? You awake?"
Damian: "Please, Mira... it takes a lot more than that to even think about taking a nap... but I have to admit, that was a good hit."
After getting up, Mirage and Damian quickly got into fighting stances, but these were different from the ones they had used before. Mirage now had a more animalistic look and a stance that matched the look. In addition, Mirage emitted an aura of danger and savagery; one could even say he resembled a tiger stalking its prey.
Mirage: "Bring him down."
Damian: "That was already the plan. Crisol Dance..."
Damian then began to make smooth, slow movements that erratically changed to abrupt and fast movements, almost like the steps of the Butoh dance (a Japanese experimental dance). And like the other dances Damian performed, this one also increased his blood flow, but this specific dance seemed different. It increased the heat emitted by Damian's body, but not so much the internal heat, so there was no smoke coming off him, but rather a heat that distorted Damian's surroundings.
Damian: "...鋳型の軌跡 (Igata no Kiseki or Trajectory of the Mold)."
And as if he were an illusion, Damian disappeared from where he was. On the other side, Daniel was carefully observing Damian's movements before he vanished, and milliseconds after that happened, he felt a massive heat appear out of nowhere near him, and when he turned to the source of the heat... he... saw... a foot, more specifically Damian's foot, which hit him directly in the face. But instead of flying away, Damian controlled his strength, grabbed Daniel's face with his kick, and threw him against the barrier floor that Daniel was using to stay in the air.
Daniel: "Ugh!"
As Daniel's body connected with the ground, Damian noticed that for a moment, the barrier floor became more transparent, so he thought that Daniel's barriers were linked to his concentration on them. To test his theory, Damian gave Daniel another kick, but already expecting this, Daniel deactivated the barrier he was using as a floor. This made Damian lose all the strength in his legs, causing his kick to just push him a little down toward Mirage.
Damian: "Now!"
Mirage: "虎流 (Tora Ryū / Tiger Style): 虎の一歩 (Tora no Ippo / First Step of the Tiger)."
Seeing his opponent coming toward him, Mirage recreated one of his katanas in his hand, and with a simple but strong and fast vertical cut, Mirage looked like a tiger pouncing on its prey.
Daniel: "Don't get ahead of yourselves, you worms!"
To escape the cut, Daniel spun his body to stay on his feet, which he succeeded in doing, but... he couldn't escape Mirage's strike, which was faster than him. The cut hit Daniel's right arm, making a deep gash. Feeling the pain of the cut, Daniel lost his calm smile, which was replaced by an expression of pain.
Mirage: "Where's your smile?"
Damian: "What did you say about getting ahead of ourselves, again?"
Even hearing the two boys' provocations, Daniel ignored them and just stared at his wounded arm. After a few moments, he took a deep breath and his routine smile returned.
Daniel: "That hurts more than I remember... it's been a while since I've been cut."
After saying this, Daniel began to glow in a low red tone, and then a blood-red barrier came out of his body, covering his body perfectly, as if it were a full-body armor.
Daniel: "L'Ordre des Cartes: Le Rempart du Croupier (The Croupier's Rampart)."
After making the armor, Daniel advanced against Damian and Mirage, who didn't stay still and also advanced.
Damian: "Crisol Dance: Calcinatio."
As the two advanced against Daniel, they separated. Damian went ahead to get Daniel's attention, which he succeeded in doing by performing a dance similar to the Tarantella (an Italian dance consisting of fast spins and footwork). Having managed to get out of Daniel's field of vision, Mirage went behind him and used a technique.
Mirage: "Mèi TāoTiè: 血染长空 (Blood-Stained Sky)."
Exploding his katana with electro, Mirage tried to cut Daniel, but the red barrier stopped his katana. However, this didn't stop Mirage; he continued to explode his electro more and more until...
Crack...
The red barrier began to crack... Daniel, who finally noticed Mirage's presence, quickly turned to him, made a fist of thorns with his functional arm, and punched Mirage in the chest. This not only threw him away but also made several deep holes in his chest. Since Daniel had turned to deal with Mirage, he didn't notice Damian coming up behind him and punching the uncracked side of the red barrier so hard that...
Crack...
The other part of the barrier also cracked, leaving it on the verge of collapsing. Daniel, seeing the state of his barrier, made thorns come out of his back, which hit Damian's entire body and impaled him, incapacitating him. Thinking that the two young men had been incapacitated, Daniel then turned to Damian, still leaving the red barrier and the thorns active.
Daniel: "I'm impressed... I didn't think two kids would be so strong."
Damian: "You think it's over?"
Daniel: "Your friend must have at least six holes in his chest that reach his lungs, and you... I'll make sure you can't get out of there until I kill you."
Saying this, Daniel concentrated even more on the thorns, making them redder and longer, and in contrast, the barrier protecting his body became much more transparent, almost invisible.
Damian: "Argh...! You idiot! Who said it's going to be one of us two who kills you?"
BANG! CRACK!
From a distance, a gun shot could be heard echoing, and then the sound of something breaking. It was the sound of Yosuke's gun, which had fired a modified bullet that, when it hit Daniel's weakened barrier, instead of stopping, it started spinning even more and gained so much force that it broke the barrier and hit Daniel's lower abdomen.
Daniel: "YOSUKE!! YOU LITTLE RAT!"
Seeing who had shot him, Daniel angrily ran toward Yosuke. And Yosuke, seeing him getting close, remained calm and with a single snap of his fingers...
BOOM!!
Daniel:"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
The bullet lodged in Daniel's body exploded, taking half of Daniel's abdomen and one of his legs. This made him somersault on the ground and stop right in front of Yosuke.
Yosuke: "I told you I would kill you, you bastard..."
Daniel: "You... little... worm... you couldn't... even do... it yourself..."
Yosuke: "Who gives a damn about how I did it! What matters is that you're going to die by my hands!"
And with these words, Yosuke fired five more shots at Daniel, and right after that, all five bullets also exploded and completely erased Daniel's body and weapon. Having completed his revenge, Yosuke looked for Damian and Mirage and found them a little far from there, near Mèi TāoTiè.
Yosuke: "Are you guys okay?"
Damian: "Yes, Mèi here has already healed our injuries."
Mirage: "Definitely better than a few moments ago; who would have thought having your lungs punctured could be so painful?"
After a few minutes of rest, the three got up to go see what was on the ship Daniel's henchmen were carrying, but on the way, Damian turned to Yosuke.
Damian: "Hey Yosuke! I was wondering here and... how did that bullet you shot not get absorbed by Daniel's Devil Fruit?"
Yosuke: "Oh that? It's because that bullet wasn't made of metal..."
Before finishing speaking, Yosuke took off his glove, revealing that about half of his hand was now made of metal.
Yosuke: "That bullet was made of my own flesh and bones."
Damian: "What happened to your hand?"
Yosuke: "Before you got to the fight, Mirage and I were fighting Daniel, right? During that time, Mirage got distracted, and Daniel ended up doing this to my hand. So I retreated and used my alchemy to create bullets made of flesh and bone and this prosthesis for my fingers."
Hearing Yosuke's story, Damian then turned to Mirage.
Damian: "Seriously, man? You got distracted?"
Mirage: "Don't look at me like that! I had a reason, okay!"
Damian: "Oh yeah? What was it?"
Mirage: "My Devil Fruit was telling me I needed to see how his Devil Fruit worked so I could copy it."
Damian: "Like with Allana?"
Mirage: "Exactly!"
Damian: "I see... I'll trust you this time. Now let's stop wasting time here and go see what's on that ship."
Damian: "How interesting... hey Mira, look over there."
Mirage: "Up there? Oh wh... ah...! That's really interesting."
As they arrived in front of the ship, Damian quickly analyzed it and noticed a very important detail on the sail... it was the mark of the slave auction house... or in other words... the mark of Doflamingo in the underworld.
Damian: "That mark on the ship's sail is from one of the biggest brokers in the underworld, Joker."
Yosuke: "Joker... what exactly does he sell?"
Damian: "A little bit of everything, but I think this is a slave ship."
Yosuke: "Wait! Slaves! Don't we have to help them?"
Mirage: "Of course we're going to do that, or did you forget that Dami and I are from the Marines?"
Yosuke: "True..."
So the three entered the ship and went looking for where the slaves might be. When they found them, Damian forcibly opened all the cells and freed everyone who was there, revealing that most of the slaves who were going to be sold were citizens of Flying Fish Island who were not involved with Oda, Leôncio, or Peek. After all that, the three escorted the people outside the ship, and outside were Bagness and the rest of the company, who came running as soon as they found Damian.
Everyone (except Bagness): "What happened here, Damian? And where's Mirage?"
Damian: "I'm tired, so I'll give you the summary. Here it is: Mirage and I went to the city center. There we met this kid, his name is Yosuke, and he's the son of one of the bosses of this place, Oda Nobunaga. After that, Yosuke said his father had a secret warehouse at the prefecture. There were a lot of interesting things there, like this awesome bident I took for myself, and a Devil Fruit that Mirage took, in case you didn't notice, Mirage is the little boy with animal ears and chocolate skin. Oh yeah, I forgot to say that on the way, we ended up bumping into a group that was after Yosuke, and after we defeated them, we interrogated them and found out about this place. Upon arriving here, there were a lot of people, like a hell of a lot of people. After defeating them, here we are. Done, that's everything. Any questions? I hope not, because I'm only answering after a rest."
After this flood of information, the group was a bit confused, but knowing that Damian wouldn't answer any more questions, they turned to Mirage and talked for a bit. As for Bagness, he went up to Yosuke.
Bagness: "You're Yosuke, correct?"
Yosuke: "Correct, sir...?"
Bagness: "Bagness, I'm the mission leader on this island. Would you mind answering a few questions for me?"
Yosuke: "Of course!"
Bagness then began to ask some questions about what happened during the conflict that caused them to be called. After getting his answers, Bagness then asked the same questions to all the citizens who were going to be made slaves.
Bagness: "Alright! Everyone! It's time to go! The mission is complete! Citizens, please follow us to our ship to go to a Marine station!"
With that said, everyone began to escort the citizens to the ship. After everyone had left, in the midst of all the destruction that Damian had caused against Daniel's henchmen, a body gets up and walks toward the slave ship.
To be continued
