While the Azure Pirates and Big Mom Pirates were fighting, a disturbing scene could be seen somewhere else. A man chained down on the ground in a prison cell who looked miserable. In front of him were two people. One wears a black mask, and the other has long silver hair, pale skin, and blue eyes. He looks like a Royal. The guy in the mask is torturing him, while the other one is somehow completely healing all his injuries.
"Scream already!" screamed the man who is torturing him as he stabbed him with a hot red blade. The tortured man just looks at him as if saying, 'Really bro? Is this the best you can do? Even a granny could do better than that.' This look pissed off the masked man with the knife, while the healer just looked annoyed. Clearly not wanting to waste his time here with a peasant scum.
"I'm hungry. Go get me some food."
"You bastard!" screamed the masked man as he stabbed towards the guy's throat, but before he could hit him, he got stopped by a blade which blocked his attack.
"Miss Haia! I wasn't going to really do it. It was just a threat."
"I'm the only one that is allowed to kill him. If you try something like this again, I'll kill you."
"Yes, miss!"
"Hahaha, from trying to kill me to becoming my little bitch who protects me."
"Do you want to know something, Azure Scum? Your island is being attacked by the Big Mom Pirates. So I'll be back after all your scum friends have died," said Haia as she started walking towards the cell door."
"I see. Well, that's too bad. I wanted to get to know you better. But now we won't be able to see each other anymore," said Ken with a cheeky smile.
"Laugh while you still can."
She walked out of the cell and locked the door. The torturer immediately went back to work while Ken just closed his eyes and went to sleep.

"Stop dodging already, you annoying brat!" screamed Charlotte Cracker. He was chasing after Tani, who went further and further away from the beach and into the forest. Cracker has summoned 10 biscuit soldiers, but they weren't able to touch Tani even once. Tani suddenly stopped. One of the biscuit soldiers immediately swung his sword towards him, only to get its head kicked into the ground the next second.
"You finally stopped running away. Don't think that you will be able to run away anymore!" Cracker had his soldiers surround Tani, whose expression did not change at all.
"I wonder where that confidence comes from? I was not running away; I was just leading you somewhere quiet where I wouldn't have to worry about running into someone else's fight.."
Cracker looked at Tani with an annoyed expression feeling that he is being underestimated. Tani disappeared before Cracker could say anything. The next second, one of the soldiers exploded into pieces.
"Clap, Clap." Cracker clapped his hands, and a new soldier was immediately created. Tani destroyed another one, but Cracker created a new one again. A look of annoyance could be seen on Tani's face. He tried to go for Cracker himself, but the soldiers didn't let him get close. They were are faster than they looked.
Tani stopped on top of one of the branches and turned his head towards Cracker. "It seems like I have to get a little more serious," said Tani. He slowly opened his eyes, and instead of his eyes being the normal white color that they always were, now they are glowing in a light shade of green. He jumped off the branch and started slowly walking towards Cracker.
Cracker immediately sent his soldiers to kill him, thinking nothing of his glowing eyes. The first soldier to arrive in front of Tani immediately swung his sword down, completely missing Tani even though he kept walking at the same speed. The other 9 also quickly attacked him, but like the first one, they also completely missed.
"What the hell are you idiots doing! He is just walking! Tsk, I'll just do it myself then!" The soldiers suddenly fell down and turned into biscuit crumbs. The crumbs immediately went towards Cracker and started rotating around him till they formed a giant soldier with six swords. And unlike the previous soldiers, Cracker was sitting inside and controlling it manually.
He immediately ran towards Tani and started swinging at him. Tani was forced to doge this time, but he still did it effortlessly. "Having six arms doesn't make you faster, so what's the point?" asked Tani with a bored expression. After saying that, the big soldier's head suddenly flew up into the sky, and Cracker's head could be seen inside the body. After that, his two legs got kicked off, making him fall face first in front of Tani.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to lick my shoes?"
"How is this possible! Not even Big Brother could destroy my biscuits so effortlessly!"
"Things are easier to break from the inside."
"Huh?"
"Oops, I said too much. I guess you have to die now."
"Don't underestimate me!"
In an instant, the biscuits around Cracker suddenly turned into crumbles and enveloped Tani. Cracker immediately swung his sword through the crumbles trying to stab Tani. However, instead of hitting Tani, his face hit the ground instead. He tried to stand up and look at the bastard, but he couldn't move his head an inch.
"You're really slow on the uptake. I thought that you would have already realized, but that ability of your brother Katakuri, I have it too."
"What!"
"Sigh, I wonder how someone so stupid and weak could have become a commander in a Yonko crew. Even I am not a commander."
"You bastard!"
The Azure Pirates commanders change all the time, but right now, the ranks of the Azure Pirates are as followed: Captain Sabo, 1st Commander Ace, 2nd Commander Kuzan, and 3rd Commander Deuce. The rest have no rank. You can become a Commander by beating one of the Commanders and take their spot. But being a Commander doesn't have any value except for bragging rights. The only ones that are allowed to order the main crew around are Ken, Sabo, and Ace.
While Tani was putting more pressure on Cracker's head, you could see biscuit crumbs gathering behind Tani, but all that did was make the crater under Cracker's head bigger. "I just told you that I can sense the future, and you're trying to sneak attack me? Sigh, why am I even wasting my time with you." After saying that, Tani increased the force on his leg even more and Cracker started screaming out in pain.

Back at the beach, you could see the Big Mom Pirates with worried faces after hearing Cracker scream. But they didn't have the time to worry about him. They were too busy with their own opponent.
Ace vs. Katakuri
Mihawk vs. Smoothie
Tani vs. Cracker
Urouge vs. Snack
Shiryu vs. Perospero
Jinbe vs. Oven
Brook vs. Daifuku
Devon vs. Compote
These are the main highlighted fights that are going on right now. Sabo, Deuce, and Kuzan are just standing back and looking at the rest fight. The fights were pretty even, except for Tani vs. Cracker and Devon vs. Compote. Cracker's fate could clearly be heard, but Devon seems to be going towards the same fate. Charlotte Compote is a monster. Devon has done nothing but defending.
"Shouldn't we help?" asked Deuce.
"I have promised Devon to let her fight against Compote and not intervene. But if it gets too dangerous, I'll help her out."
"Why are we even giving them a fair fight in the first place? Wouldn't it be more effective if the three of us teamed up on one of them?" asked Kuzan.
"Yeah, why do you have us sit back and do nothing?" asked Deuce.
"It's simple, plan 1 is to show the world that we don't need Ken, and what better way to show that than by beating the Big Mom Pirates fair and square. And besides, if Big Mom decides to show up, it would be better if the three of us are at full power."
Deuce and Kuzan nodded, thinking it would indeed bring the message home.
"But damn, we really were wrong about her power. Compote is the oldest daughter of Big Mom, but still. With every punch, Devon gets send flying," said Deuce.
"Are you scared?" asked Kuzan.
"Of course not! She is still nothing compared to me!"
"Alright, if Devon loses, she is all yours. Go and show her the powers of Deuce the Almighty Spark!" said Sabo with a smirk.
"I was just joking… Wait! What did you just call me!"
"Deuce the Almighty Spark, seems fitting," said Kuzan.
"Not you too!"
As Deuce was getting teased, the fights started getting more heated up.
