Butterfly Effect Triggered!
Pangean Plains - North
Tension one could cut from the air. The great Admiral turned to Leo, shadow on his face. Leo spoke of how he understood Zephyr’s last breaths, even while his hands leaked with the great Sensei’s blood. No haki, emotion, spirit, or Will came from Kizaru, which made it all the more tense, unfiltered. Shadow still on his face, Kizaru slowly lifted his hand to the sky, that shadow in his face growing darker.
Suddenly, total darkness took the area, such that one could not see their hand in front of them. As if someone had blew a candle. The entire light spectrum in the Pangean plains had been snuffed, absorbed into a single watt of light in Kizaru’s palm. No doubt, Kizaru’s absolute attack. Leo would have his answer.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed Kizaru’s hand in the darkness. The light suddenly returned to Pangea, as if one flipped a light switch.
The Great Advisor appeared next to the two, stopping Kizaru. Her words were cut with empathy and stern. The legendary marine told Leo he had disobeyed orders - she was the commanding officer, and orders were to capture Zephyr. Insubordination. Dalmatian and Onigumo arrived, both of them limping heavily, riddled with deadly wounds. Tsuru was banged up good, but not as severe. Kizaru had the least of wounds, only a few scratches here and there.
Dalmatian explained the plains were breaking off, the earth collapsing no doubt as remains of the battle. Onigumo concurred, suggesting they take shelter in the cave. The group followed Dalmatian. Kizaru had grabbed Zephyr’s body, slinging it over his shoulder and taking it with them. Silence took the journey. All of them remembered Zephyr, their sensei. Dalmatian and Tsuru had tears on his eyes, though quiet. Onigumo and Kizaru looked stoic, unmoving in emotion - felt deep.
A crack in the earth led to a long corridor and then a cave. Light shined on a single beautiful tree in the middle of the cave, surrounded by clear water. The group settled in. However, the group all turned to Leo. Now what? They had no leads, no hostage, and they were all wounded. Onigumo spoke up, demanding an explanation.

[Tsuru] “Desist. You were the one who asked for this end. Control your emotions, Borsalino.”
[Tsuru] “And you, Leo. You disobeyed orders! We were to capture him. We’ll deal with your insubordination soon. Right now, we need to move.”

[Tsuru] “How long, Dalmatian-boy?”
[Dalmatian] “Judging by the smell, I’d say we have a few minutes. There is a cave not to far from here. That’s our best bet.”
