Also! Bruh, don't complain about WB dying okay? That's the only way for the old man to die the way he wants. He would probably hate Hiro if he had saved him, you all know this so I don't want to see any 'BuT MoNkEy wHy dIdNt hIrO JuSt sAvE WhItEbEaRd?!' I'm watching you all!

Yami was taken away by Hawkeye to his island. Zoro walked around and said "Eh? Yami?" Mihawk said "You know each other?" Zoro nodded and asked "What happened?" Mihawk threw Yami to Zoro, taking Crimson from him, getting an enraged buzz from the sword itself.
Mihawk looked at the sword before saying "I was hoping you could tell me." Zoro looked at Yami and said "I don't really know to be honest." Mihawk was silent and said "Let's go. Get his wounds healed, he'll be training with you from now on." Zoro looked at the bloody line on Mihawk and Yami, he gasped to himself and followed Mihawk to the castle.

Hiro was relaxing, watching Sanji try and fail to cook in the workstation he set up for him. There was a mile in between each section, he had to run around, there was even stations in the air, floating on clouds.
Sanji worked like a dog, while also increasing his cooking skills. All while Hiro watched him, he even provoked Sanji by throwing his food on the floor to a pig. Sanji was beyond angry and Hiro said "If your food doesn't get my approval, forget about leaving. You can't even cook a proper meal, how are you supposed to save your friends? They're probably dead already."
Sanji growled "That's your own son!" Hiro shrugged and said "So? He dies, he dies. Hurry up and keep cooking, ingredients is the thing I have the most of." Sanji grinded his teeth and continued. He shivered thinking of the last punishment.
That was the true hell!
Hiro dropped him in the middle of the Kamabakka Kingdom as a punishment and Sanji was terrified, he worked extremely hard without stopping just to avoid punishments.
Suddenly!
[Congratulations! You've completed [Get that man an Ambalam! Save Ace.] Rewards: Devil Fruit Splicer]
Hiro pursed his lips and left a shadow clone, disappearing from Demon Flower Island.
He flew to Amazon Lily, only to see Rayleigh there.
He landed on the ground and said "Yo!" Hancock looked at him and said "What?! Another man?!" Hiro waved her off and said "Hush." as he walked to Rayleigh, saying "What's up?" Rayleigh smiled and said "You came to see me?" Hiro smiled and caught Hancock's ankle as he replied "What? Can't come see an old friend?"
Rayleigh shook his head before getting serious and saying "Something happened to your kid." Hiro flipped Hancock over and crushed the heart arrow, she shot at him as he frowned and said "Which one?" Rayleigh got grim and said "Yami." Hiro frowned and slapped the snake away, looking at Rayleigh, expecting him to continue.
Rayleigh sighed and explained what happened on Sabaody and then told him what Yami looked like after, when he came back with Isabella. Hiro furrowed his brows and held Hancock's forehead with his hand stretched, while she flailed her arms.
He closed his eyes and opened them again, they were pitch black and wispy.
He saw Yachiru on Elbaf, training with Gerd, learning Giant techniques, Haki, etc. He threw a book of the Six Powers at her and bonked her in the head with it. She picked it up and looked at her shadow, asking "How's-" Hiro said "He's fine." she broke down and cried in relief, Hiro smiled, what a good daughter in law!
Hiro's eyes returned to normal as he said "She's on Elbaf, not dead. Hopefully, he can overcome this." Rayleigh shrugged and said "I hope so, because the last time I saw him, he looked about ready to die." Hiro said angrily "That kid doesn't have the tooth to kill himself."
Rayleigh chuckled and said "Did you see the papers? They said he's dead." Hiro pursed his lips and caught Hancock's kick again, flipping her through the air, as he replied "Yeah, and our old crew is all locked up in Impel Down." Rayleigh chuckled and shook his head, Hiro looked again and returned with a funny smile, saying "Mihawk took him."
Rayleigh raised a brow and said "Really?" Hiro nodded and grabbed Hancock's fist swinging her around and throwing her away as he said "Where's the kid?" Rayleigh pointed to a rock and Hiro asked "Did he unlock his Conqueror's?" Rayleigh said "As soon as he saw the papers."
Hiro clicked his tongue and said "I came here for nothing then." Rayleigh laughed and said "Always nice of you to visit!" Hiro chuckled and rolled his eyes, his tail burst out and hung Hancock upside down as she pushed down on her dress.
Hiro looked at Rayleigh and said "Oh right, this is for you." he gave Rayleigh a book of the 6 powers, adding "You know, if he doesn't get stronger, my kid, the cook, or the green haired kid, will pass him." Rayleigh said "You got the cook?!" shocked, Hiro chuckled and nodded as his tail dug a hole and threw Hancock in it.
Rayleigh sighed "Leave everything to the old guys, eh? Damn. One headache after the other..." Hiro chuckled and said "This wouldn't happen if we were a construction company." Rayleigh laughed and said "Fuck off! Hahah" Hiro chuckled and said "Anyway, I'll see you around. Come visit Demon Flower Island..." he winked and added "We have a huge gambling district."
Rayleigh smirked and said "We'll see." Hiro grinned and buried Hancock up to her neck in the hole, leaving her head exposed as he said "See you, Uncle Ray. Gahahahaha!" before slipping into his shadow and disappearing as Rayleigh threw a rock at him.
Hancock was red in the face from embarrassment, Rayleigh looked at her and shook his head, saying "Kids nowadays... Coming up with new trends, I can't keep up." Hancock was angry, this wasn't a new trend! She was trapped!
