As the world plunged into chaos, the instigator was peacefully seated on his small boat, oblivious to the negotiations and measures being portes 6against him. His destination? Pirate Island, where he hoped to reunite with his crew without worrying about the disastrous consequences of his actions.
Despite the obstacles caused by the marines relentlessly pursuing him, Gojo finally managed to reach his goal. In sight, he distinguished the imposing island adorned with a giant skull, inhabited by fearsome pirates. It was the famous Hive Island, known for its infamous practices and notorious pirates.
As he advanced, Gojo spotted a ship with a skull-shaped flag on the horizon: the Stella, the ship of the Infinity Pirates. Although there were still some crew members on deck, he noticed that several were missing. However, he couldn't help but smile when he saw the condition of one of them in particular.

After a few minutes, Gojo reached near the Stella. Yaga, spotting him, greeted him warmly. They began a discussion about the modifications he was considering making to the ship, a subject that captivated Gojo. He handed over the ship he had used for his journey and jumped aboard the Stella, welcomed by the other crew members who were eagerly awaiting him.
"You're back! Gojo-san! We heard that you freed several slaves and caused chaos in Mary Geoise," exclaimed Yuta enthusiastically.
"What you did was incredibly brave. Few people would have dared to defy the World Government as you did," worried Utahime. "But we must prepare to face the consequences. The marines will not leave us alone."
"Impressive. In my time, no one had ever dared to attack the Holy Land. The World Government must be furious, especially Sengoku. But it just adds some spice to the adventure! Ahahaha..." exclaimed Naobito, sipping his sake.
"But tell me, Gojo-san... what did you discover there?" asked Mei Mei.
A heavy silence fell on the boat at this question, all eyes turned to their captain, waiting for an answer. Gojo, who had remained silent until then, stepped forward, sat down, and looked up at the sky. A few moments later, he turned to them with a maniacal smile, releasing a bit of Conqueror's Haki, and began to tell his story.
"I see... Knowing your character, you wouldn't have left without wanting to confront those who blocked one of your most powerful attacks... right?" Mei Mei asked with a smile.
"It's true, captain... Can you explain why you left after the attack?" Utahime questioned.
Gojo, initially with a maniacal smile, adopted a more friendly expression as he thought back to the three sisters he had met. He was looking forward to visiting them as soon as he had a moment.
"So, Yuta, what happened on your end, and where is Toji?" Gojo asked, a bit more seriously.
When the question was asked, Yuta's face hardened, and a heavy silence fell. They all remembered the massacre carried out by a single individual against the two most powerful among them, after their captain. No one could forget that tragic event. Yuta then explained what had happened and how they had miserably lost.
"Ahahahhaha... It was obvious you had no chance of beating him. Traveling alone through the New World speaks to his undeniable abilities," Gojo said as he stood up.
"What are your plans for the future, Captain?" Mei Mei asked eagerly.
Gojo thought for a moment before replying: "I intend to go see him myself, after all, he is the one who caused our coming here. But before that, we must wait for Toji to return, then we will set off."
After Gojo made his decision on their next course of action, everyone returned to their tasks awaiting Toji's return. An hour later, someone jumped aboard the ship. It was Toji, who had found Gojo and discussed with him about Mary Geoise and their fight. After their conversation, the crew gathered for their captain to meet this arrogant individual.
