"Woohoo, we're finally here!" Under the cover of night, Gray guided the ship down to the shore of Little Garden.
Boom!
The impact sent waves surging and drew the attention of the prehistoric beasts hunting on the island at night.
"Get lost!" Gray shouted, releasing a portion of his Conqueror's Haki and scaring the beasts away.
Only after the beasts had retreated did Gray remind everyone, "There are lots of mosquitoes and venomous ants here, so make sure you protect yourselves. Don't get bitten."

"Hm? The person I was looking for?" A question flickered through Gray's mind, and then he remembered the two favors he'd asked Doflamingo for a year ago.
Gray: "That's great news!"
"Anyway, down to business. I'll tell you
