"..." Bryan stood there looking in the direction Mr.1 walked towards in complete silence. Until Erik came back with brought MiniToes while carrying Zoro on a stretcher.

MiniToes placed the stretcher on the ground and immediately started to take care of the 2 injured Bravehearts with the help of Erik and Sumiki.

"We are part of Baroque Works now... tell Damien that five Baroque Works agents will sail with us," Bryan said while looking numbly at the sky. After what happened last time, he didn't think he would ever join another organization again.

"Why don't you tell them yourself, Captain?" Erik's perplexedly asked. He was focused on helping MiniToes and couldn't raise his head.

Thud!

When he heard something falling, Erik raised his head only to find that his Captain had fallen unconscious on the ground.

"Captain!" Erik loudly exclaimed as he ran toward him. The other two momentarily stopped what they were doing and looked at him while holding their breath.

"Sigh... Thank goodness... he is okay. he just fainted from Blood loss." Erik exhaled the breath he was holding. He and Bryan have the same blood type, so this isn't a big problem.

After hearing what he said, Sumiki and Minitoes could finally relax and focus on closing their injuries and preventing them from worsening.

"Sigh... They are no longer in a critical state. Now we need to move them to a proper place to start the actual procedure," MiniToes said as he sighed with relief.

"Our ship has a suitable room, so let's take them there," Sumiki said as she lay on the floor to relax.

Erik and Minitoes agree. After they rested for a little bit, they took them back to the ship.

....

Meanwhile, at the port on the B.W ship, Mr.1 had just arrived there.

"Welcome Back!/ Welcome Back!" The agents on the deck bowed when they saw Mr.1.

"Welcome Back, Sir,"

Mr. Sword said when he saw Mr.1 arriving on the ship.

"Call LittleFinger," Mr.1 said when he saw Mr. sword.

"Yes, Sir." Mr. Sword said. He then looked at one of the million agents, who nodded his head and went to call Miss. LittleFinger.

"You and 20 agents will remain here and establish a base for Baroque Works," Mr.1 said

"Yes, Sir," Mr. Sword said without changing his stance.

"Then get back to work," Mr.1 said as he walked into his cabin.

"Let's go,"

Mr. Sword said as he went to do the order mr.1 gave him.

As for Mr. 1, after he walked into his room, he walked to his chair and sat down. He then grabbed a snail that was on his desk and pressed the button on its side to call.

The snail was roughly the size of a regular house cat (albeit a bit taller), with the dialing mechanism and receiver built into its shell with an emblem of B.W stamped on his shell.

After Mr.1 finished pressing the button on the side of the Den Den Mushi, it started to make noises out of its mouth until it clicked.

[Purr... purr... purr... Clank! Hello, Mr. Sniper here.] (A.N: For call, we will be using [] instead of "")

A man's voice came out of the Den Den Mushi as it mimicked the man's serious expression.

"Sniper, it's me,"

Mr.1 said with a calm look on his face.

[One...(Mr. 1's nickname) how did it go?]

Mr. Sniper asked with a curious look, which the Den Den Mushi mimicked.

"He has joined us." Mr. 1 replied.

[I see.. so what do you want?]

Sniper asked since they knew Mr.1 wouldn't call him without purpose.

"Bring DoubleFinger. I want to tell you two something," Mr.1 said.

[DoubleFinger isn't in LogueTown right now.] Mr. Sniper said after he heard what Mr.1 said.

"... Where did she go?"

[She went to the Goa Kingdom. The Nobles there contacted us after you left because they are having trouble with a bandit group.]

"Isn't this supposed to be the marine's work?"

[I also said the same thing, but they said the Marines aren't willing to capture this group.]

"how much are they willing to pay?"

[15 million]

"I see. Then tell her that I will meet her in Goa."

[Roger.]

Clack...

After Mr.1 heard what Mr. Sniper said, he stopped the phone call at the same time when the room's door got knocked.

Knock! Knock!

"May I enter, Sir?"

"Come in"

Mr.1 said after recognizing that it's LittleFinger voice.

LittleFinger walked in and stood in front of Mr.1 while lowering her head and waiting for his order.

"You, SharpEyes, SharpTongue, MiniToes, and TinyNose will sail with Roronao on the Bravehearts ship."

"Yes, Sir"

"You will keep an eye on them and inform them of how we operate."

"Yes, Sir"

"You are dismissed."

Mr.1 explained to LittleFinger what she needed to do. He then went back to work, he still couldn't rest since he had some paperwork that needed to be signed before he left East Blue.

"Sir... if I may ask?"

Mr. 1 didn't raise his head when he heard she was still in the room. He just asked.

"What is it?"

"What are their code names?"

When Mr.1 heard what she said, he paused what he was doing. He indeed forgot about this, So he raised his head, looked at her, and said.

"It is Mr..."

....

2 days later.

On the sea was a large ship sailing. In the ship's Medic room, 3 individuals were lying on their beds, with 3 doctors taking care of them.

One of the three individuals was a man with green hair who started regaining consciousness. He slowly opened his eyes. At first, he had a muddle and foggy look on his face.

He looked around and saw that he was in the medic's room. Afterwards, He tried to sit.

"Ahh..." only to gasp in pain when he moved his chest. He stopped moving around. Instead, he stared blankly at the ceiling as the pain made him remember what had happened.

He lost...

The last thing he remembered was his swords breaking apart and getting hit by Mr. 1's drill-like arms.

'I lost...' Zoro thought as he looked at the ceiling.

This was his first loss after Kuina died...

While Zoro was staring at the ceiling, one of the doctors opened the curtain after he heard Zoro gasp from pain and saw that Zoro was awake. He smiled happily and said.

"You're awake at last? Good."

Which snapped Zoro out of his daydreaming. Zoro looked at the man without saying anything. The old man continued to speak.

"It would be good if you don't move since the wound hasn't recovered yet."

"How is he?"

The other two doctors walked here when they heard what MiniToes said.

"Erik, go and inform Bryan."

"On it," Erik replied, then ran out to bring the news to Bryan.

MiniToes thought it would be better for Zoro to see a familiar face. While MiniToes was talking with the two doctors, Zoro grabbed his chest, which MiniToes noticed.

"The wound on your chest will leave a spiral scar."

After saying that, he stared inquiringly at Zoro. It was his first time seeing anybody hurt Mr.1, so he was curious about this man and how he did it.

"Where are we going?" Zoro suddenly asked. He felt the room shake sightly, so he knew they were on a ship.

"LogueTown"

Zoro didn't say anything After hearing what MiniToes said. Instead, he tried to sit,

"Hiss!" Which made him hiss from pain,

"What are you doing?! You aren't supposed to move!"

MiniToes cried out when he saw that the bounty hunter tried to sit. He quickly tried to push him back without harming him.

"Get out of the way! Ahhh!"

Zoro pushed MiniToes out of the way and tried to stand by force. Only to feel greater pain that almost made him fall to the floor. He got grabbed by a giant man who yelled out.

"Be careful!"

Which turns out to be Bryan. He arrived when Zoro pushed MiniToes out of the way and tried to stand. He knew that the Greenhead wouldn't be able to stand, so he quickly ran toward him.

"You? what are you doing here!"

Zoro's eyes widened when he saw the man who helped him.

"Jajaja! do you think only you joined Baroque Works?"

Bryan said with a bitter smile while helping Zoro sit on his bed. Afterward, he explained everything that happened after Zoro fell unconscious.

"So you lost to him too..."

"If I wasn't as injured as I was then the fight might have gone a different way. After all, you did mess up his arms pretty bad."

"...What?"

When Zoro heard what Bryan said, the Greenhead looked at him with a bewildered look,

"Huh? you didn't know? Jajajajaja! You passed out before even knowing that you hurt him, Jajajajaja!"

Bryan burst out in laughter when he saw Zoro's confused expression while patting him on the back, making Zoro hiss from pain.
