In Ryugu Palace, Roya and Shirahoshi became engaged.
They agreed to hold an engagement ceremony and announce it to the world once Shirahoshi came of age.
Naturally, Neptune agreed to Roya's request.
After spending a night on Fish-Man Island, Roya left Fish-Man Island.
Aboard a coated warship, he prepared to return to Marineford.
But just then, his Den Den Mushi rang again.
"Buru buru, buru buru~"
"Fleet Admiral, the mission has been completed. I am now preparing to return to Marineford."

Roya immediately realized that this was probably the result of the slash he had unleashed beneath the sea.
