After a few days pass by, the Star Pirates have restocked at Shishano Kingdom, and are now travelling between two large islands.
But as they went through the gap, they came across a whirlpool, so large it didn't look natural, as if it was manually destroyed by an external force.
"What the..."
Clau:".....This looks like a specific incident, but I forgot which one it was."
Lucy:"Incident?"
Olvia:"There have been multiple incidents across time, and this one definitely looks like one, the unnaturalness of this phenomena must have come from humans."
As the crew begin to discuss the unnaturalness of the whirlpool, Roya recieves a list from the system.
People able to be revived/reversed:
(Davy)Rocks D Xebac(Locked)
Don Marla(Locked)
Ganzui(Locked)
Gill Basta(Locked)
...
'Huh? Why are they all locked, system?'
[Rocks D Xebac is locked because you aren't at Yonko level yet, and after you hit that level, you would need to challenge any of Xebac's options in a fight to revive that option]
[For example, you could have a choice to go against an injured Xebac, or to go against a full power Xebec, or even against a full potential Xebac, which is not accurate but will most likely go beyond Yonko level]
[Luckily for you, no matter what, you can use all your powers at the same time]
[As soon you successfully beat one of these challenges, all of your previous sacrifices to revive/reverse people would be healed automatically]
[The other options are locked because you first need to recruit their captain, which in this case is Xebac]
[As a personal favour, I'll start keeping these challenges available at all times, so here are all the challenges you have came across]
Challenge:
(Davy)Rocks D Xebac
(Gol D)Gold Reggie
'Is Reggie supposed to be a female Roger? And why didn't I see her before?'
[You didn't check the message I gave you, and you were fighting multiple people, including Admiral Kizaru]
'Ok, I guess. Do you know what happened to God Valley?'
[Of course, but I'm not telling you. You will find out about it yourself]
'How?'
[From people who actually participated in the event, and you might find out yourself through other means]
'Ok, I got it'
Meanwhile, not too far away, Garpina and Aokiji's ship is unknowingly approaching the Star Pirates.
Kuzana: Garpina, are you still going to capture Roya? Even if he is your granddaughter's captain?"
Garpina:"Of course, I have to show how the Marines are the protectors of justice."
Kuzana:"Still, with the way you act, you're going to find some excuse to fail and let them escape."
Garpina:"Bwahahahaha!! You sure know me Kuzana! But I want to see for myself how strong Roya is."
Kuzana:"Got It. I'll go for Issha then."
Garpina:"Make sure to keep an eye for the Ope Ope no Mi user, and also beware of her twin as well, we don't know what she is capable of."
Kuzana:"Of course....and surprisingly, they are in front of us."
Garpina:"They are! Then what are we waiting for!?"
Garpina instantly jumps off the ship, while Kuzana relays orders to Vice Admiral Strawberry and Oniguma.
Star Pirates
Roya, in his room experimenting with the use of his techniques Construction and Star Rage, spots someone coming in fast.
Roya rushes out onto deck, after changing his clothes to a black shirt and white trousers, adorned over his bandages.
"You have got to be kidding me-"
Garpina:"Royaaaa! How dare you kidnap my idiotic granddaughter!"
Roya jumps of his ship, and meets head on with Garpina, punching eachother and sending eachother flying at opposite directions.
Roya stabilises himself in the air by standing on Garuda, and sees Garpina using Geppo to come to him.
"Jeez, isn't this too much to deal with?"
Roya starts to lock in, and proceeds to try to hit Garpina with a right hook.
This is dodged by Garpina, trying to hit his stomach, but is caught by Roya's left hand.
This still sends Roya flying, but with little to no damage taken, and is caught by Garuda who wraps itself around him.
'I'm at a disadvantage against her, her experience is way better than mine, and she has stronger haki than me, I need either Lawe or Lami to assist me to win.'
Roya and Garpina proceed to have a back and forth fight, which ranges over the sea, an advantage for Roya due to Garuda.
And with the only person for now being Garpina, Lawe decides to help out Roya, making a 2v1 favoured towards Roya.
Garpina:"Are you that scared of me? I never knew at this age I can still strike fear to the likes of you."
"You're the hero of the marines, I'm not taking any chances with you, especially with that fleet approaching us in the distance."
Garpina:"Understandable, but I'm not a pushover when it comes to people outnumbering me."
Garpina tries to grab Roya, but he is swapped by Lawe with a piece of food, catching her off-guard.
She quickly turns around, but is hit by Roya's Garuda wrapped fist on her stomach, sending her flying away.
But before Roya could capitalise, the sea suddenly freezes over, showing the arrival of Aokiji and the rest of the Marines.
'Shit, it's going to be yet another two-sided fight.'
Both Roya and Lawe jump down onto the ice, while in the distance Garpina also gets up, with only some blood dripping down her mouth.
Most of the fighters, except Judica, Alvida and Yonjie, proceed to rush towards the rest of the fleet, starting yet another big conflict the Star Pirates have to pass.
