"We're here! This is the place!"
Standing before the Fight Club's entrance, Hook spoke to Stelle and March 7th.
"Hook's going to play fighting now, so I won't take you inside."

Hook nodded. "Mm-hmm~ Everything underground is The Moles' turf!"

The surrounding spectators were clearly fanatics. Even now,
