• Ain warned the Marines that Raven Port’s prosperity was a disguise, then followed Fujitora alone to find Zephyr after Doze challenged the escort.

• Lucci watched the crew recover quickly from intense training and saw their strength keep rising, so he began pushing himself to keep his place among their top fighters.
