"I still can't comprehend why the zombie Ryuma chose to attack Nami, Usopp, and Chopper with the back of his sword," said Mihawk as he attentively read the manga. Mihawk directed the previous question to his friend, Issho.

"It could be that Moria didn't have the intention of killing them, or the zombie Ryuma may not have seen them as a formidable threat," responded Issho with a suggestion.

"I don't concur with that," interjected a third person.

"Hmm?" Issho asked with a hint of confusion in his voice.

At that moment, their focus was directed towards the arrival of a dignitary in Wano, who was actually the most influential person in all of Wano Kuni: Wano's shogun, Kozuki Sukiyaki. He wore a distinctive red mask with a long nose to hide his identity from the inhabitants of the Flower Capital. He approached their table and sat quietly.

"So, what's your opinion, Shogun-sama?" Issho enquired with his characteristic gentle smile. Mihawk and Issho had grown close to the shogun after their fight against the Samurai Gorosei and their successful efforts to protect Wano.

"If you recall, Dr. Hogback asked Ryuma's corpse to banish Nami, Usopp, and Chopper to the Realm of Shadows. I believe this refers to a place under the control of Moria, not the underworld," the shogun clarified.

Mihawk and Issho nodded with thoughtful expressions, recognizing that they had neglected some crucial information. The shogun was absolutely correct.

"That explains why the zombie Ryuma didn't resort to killing Usopp and the others," said Mihawk with enlightenment.

"Yes, I concur with Hawk-chan," added Issho in agreement.

...

"So, let me get this straight, you're asking us to step in and prevent the samurai from setting sail to capture Gecko Moria?" Mihawk queried, seeking clarity.

"That's correct," the shogun replied. "You both are legendary hunters from the Hunters Guild and I have confidence in your ability to put a stop to these angry and agitated samurai."

Issho sighed before he spoke, "It's not that we are unable to stop them, but what basis do we have to interfere with someone pursuing a pirate? It seems unjustified."

"I comprehend your reservations, Issho," the shogun acknowledged. "But I feel that your master, Rob-sama, would not want such a situation to occur. The samurai from Wano Kuni are being driven solely by emotions and, despite what was portrayed in the manga, Moria did not actually steal Ryuma-sama's corpse or the national treasure, Shusui."

"Just because something was depicted in the manga does not make it a reality," Shogun added.

"I understand your viewpoint, Shogun-sama," Issho said, nodding in agreement. Mihawk remained silent and intently listened to the ongoing conversation.

"As you are the highest authority in this nation, I see no reason to decline your request. We will do everything in our power to prevent the angry samurai from departing Wano."

"One Piece" Events:

"Chopper, Usopp!" Nami cried out in fear as she saw Chopper and Usopp struggle against the attack of zombie animals. Her fear reached its peak when it was her turn to face a zombie hippopotamus. "We'll half-kill you, too!"

"Ah!" Nami screamed.

"Stop it!" A dog-faced penguin zombie suddenly kicked the hippopotamus zombie, defending Nami.

"Hey, new guy! What are you doing to your Nakama? The enemy is that human! Kick the crap out of her!" the other zombies shouted in disapproval.

However, the dog-faced penguin zombie paid no attention to them. "I don't know who that lady is, but... even if it's under the master's orders... even if I die... I won't kick a woman." Nami was surprised to hear a familiar tone from the zombie penguin. "What?"

"If you want to complain, come at me... Fucking zombies!" the dog-faced penguin zombie continued.

Usopp: "..."

Chopper: "!?"

Inside the "Ohara" Art Store:

"This...?!" The beautiful blonde-haired waitress, Sora, stared in disbelief.

"This can't be... Why do I see Sanji's shadow on this weird zombie?" Sora thought to herself.

Sora was as confused as everyone else who had arrived at this strange scene. Like Sora, everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but feel that they saw Sanji's reflection on the zombie penguin who bravely defended Nami simply because she was a woman.

"Looks like it's not just us who feel this way... Look at the reactions of Nami, Usopp, and Chopper... I'm sure they're having the same thoughts as us right now," Bell-mère stated with certainty.

She had already overcome her anger from the scene in Nami's bathroom and was no longer as upset as before, thanks to Olvia, Toki, Sora, Otohime, and Glora calming her down.

"..." Sora nodded in agreement with Bell-mère's explanation.

"This penguin has a special connection with Sanji, I'm sure of it," Sora said.

"Oh, and how did you come to that, my love?" The two charming women heard a familiar voice behind them.

Sora's initial reaction was to smile sweetly, while Bell-mère's face turned red with anger.

"Darling~!" Sora greeted.

"You... You're finally back, huh-!" Bell-mère exclaimed.

Before the two could talk further, they were hugged from the waist and disappeared into the empty void.

In the next moment, they appeared in a beautiful red room that contained a white king-sized bed.

"Don't raise your voice at your husband, my love... Or you'll be punished even more next time," Rob warned, determined to punish her today.

…

Olivia and the rest of Rob's women were unaware of Sora and Bell-mère's disappearance and continued with their work uninterrupted.

...

..

"Zoro seems to have gotten lost once more."

"What's new about that? Sanji's disappearance is even more puzzling."

"I wonder where he went and what his connection is with the strange penguin."

"I have a bad feeling about this."

"Gecko Moria must be involved in this."

"Finally, an exciting fight! Franky is battling one of the zombie generals."

Ohara residents have been avidly reading the manga and sharing their thoughts on various scenes.

In the meantime, Brook was eagerly awaiting his next appearance.

"Come on, you foolish skeleton! When will you retrieve your shadow?"

"Once you get it back, a thrilling journey with the Straw Hats awaits! Yohohohoho!"
