At Scarlet’s simple question, Ivorio launched into an explanation, revealing how he secretly ate a small piece of the Devil Fruit he was arrested for stealing, before using it to snatch the keys and allowing them to complete the breakout. He then further explained how they found the underground section of Lebara and ended up here. Deciding to go a bit further, he also mentioned to Margaret how there really hadn’t been anything interesting over the past three days, excluding the arrival of the fishman Balto.

As he finished the trilling tale (and the less than thrilling one afterwards), he stood to his full height, saying, “Well, get some rest. I’ll see you early tomorrow morning, I guess, as long as you’re good.” With a wave, the tall Captain headed out, back to the droll mulling about of the underground town.

Several hours later, Ivorio found himself waiting on the docks outside of Raining Sunny’s headquarters, standing nearly a fairly medium sized boat, with one cabin and a small number of barrels. Someone had been sent to fetch Margaret, while Balto made the last minute preparations on the ship. As he worked, Ivorio asked, “You sure Dara can’t give one last check up on Margaret?”

Balto responded, “Eh, from what Marco tells me, Dara sleeps like a rock, so I wouldn’t worry too much. If you wanna wake her, be my guest.” Ivorio simply shrugged, hoping his crewmate would be fine. Dara was a genius, after all...supposedly.
