Even before Luke condemned Straw Hat to death, all of The Cage was already upside down, because some people had not been pleased with the half-dragon's easy victories.

To some, she couldn't be that strong, there was no way she could be, while to others her tremendous strength was what finally gave meaning to why S-Class Adventurers were so rare, and that the talent of an S-Class wasn't just their Genes Skills.

This difference of opinion caused intrigue, which quickly turned into riots and evolved into fights within the crowds. However, these fights were not only happening in the crowd, but also within some of the hallways.

Meredith and all the others of the half-wolf gang had to fight against Straw-Hat goons to get to the agreed point, the visitors' entrance to the main arena. When they finally got there, almost at the same time, they saw Alexis cleaning her nails as if nothing was happening. Beside her, there was a lion with fur that looked like it was made of copper.

"Roaaaar!" The lion leapt forward and roared, to try to scare them away.

Bastet, who had already returned, summoned herself. "ROAAAR!" The half-wolf summoner was half the size of the lion, but somehow managed to roar even louder, making the walls shudder.

"Hey, hey! Shhh..." The half-dragon said, and smoothed the lion's fur as if it were a kitten. "<Styre>."

Not only was the entire pack of the half-wolf surprised at the way Alexis tamed the animal, but so was the half-wolf herself. He had never seen her use this ability, and at that moment he wondered how many secret abilities she had. Even though he was curious, he didn't wonder and focused on his goal.

"What is that thing?" Luke asked her as he looked at the lion.

"Thing? Don't talk about Zack like that..." said Alexis and continued stroking the fur of the animal, which was white-eyed and foggy-minded to stay calm.

"ZACK?!" Everyone exclaimed.

"Me?" Zack, the red-haired giant of the pack, asked. Everyone suddenly called his name, and he didn't understand why.

"N-not you..." Ynosuke said to the big man and looked at the half-dragon again. "Why does the animal have the same name as him?" He pointed at the red-haired man.

"Oh, I thought they looked alike..." Alexis spoke simply.

Her comment caused everyone in the gang to compare Zack-Human's appearance to Zack-Leon. After comparing, everyone actually thought that the tone of the threads of both of them were somewhat similar.

"Actually, the lion is even better looking than Zack." John joked, making everyone laugh, even the red-haired giant, because he believed that having a rugged appearance was essential to his way of life.

While everyone was laughing, they heard many footsteps coming from the opposite side that the gang came from. These footsteps echoed, and made them ready for the fight.

Then dozens of men appeared, wearing cheap leather armor. They all wielded iron swords and pointed their blades in the direction of the invaders. It was more than obvious that they were just remaining Straw-Hat henchmen from other sectors that were not attacked by the half-wolf gang.

At this point, Alexis ordered the copper-furred lion to attack the goons. All they heard after they ran out the other side were the desperate cries of the goons, trying to escape from the huge animal that was squeezing to run down the corridors of that wide sewer.

As they tried to locate a parallel exit, because the main exit lay in the direction of the general confusion, they found several dark and putrid chambers where there were more slaves, abandoned to die.

Watching the dejected look on the half-dragon's face, who was trying to find a way to support the poor, Luke couldn't stand still. He distributed all the food he had stored in his inventory, as well as the last remaining coins from his prize for winning the Tournament of Legends.

Everyone knew that it might be a foolish decision and a waste of money to hand over so many coins without receiving anything in return, but in reality Luke didn't feel like he was doing this for free, because Alexis' smile was, with absolute certainty, the greatest gift he could ask for.

In the end, they made it out of the complex sewer system in which The Cage was located.

Fifteen minutes later, the city guard stormed in with over fifty heavily armed guards, as planned by Luke and Ayumi Yamazaki. Since the half-wolf didn't know exactly what to expect when he entered that place, he prepared himself and advanced reinforcements without having to request them, although they took longer than necessary.

Upon entering the place, they found many people dead, some people still on the ground, unconscious, and others struggling. They had a lot of work to do to put things in order, but by the time the sun came up everything was calmer in the area.

They found the bodies of dozens of henchmen, all four generals, and what they believed to be the Straw Hat, a man in his mid-thirties whose eyes were the same color as the liquid that oozed from the corners of his mouth.

From that day on, Oukiwa became bustling once again, not with Adventurers, but because the city guard did not stop acting even for a minute during the next three days. Documents found in secret rooms in the Cage, showed the location of many sheds and outposts of the Straw Hat scheme, where they found drugs, more slaves, monster spoils and even fake monster hubs.

To close with a golden key, on the fourth day of the city-guard task force, a formal request was made by Ayumi Yamazaki. She asked for the council to meet to discuss the direct involvement of Erick Smakusa, the Patriarch of the Noble Smakusa Family, involving corruption schemes, human trafficking, drug trafficking, and all the crimes that he, with full intention, helped the Straw-Hat to commit.

This request echoed through the thick and high walls of Oukiwa, and within hours everyone knew. So when the representatives of the eight families began to gather at the Central Palace, crowds of curious onlookers filed in behind.

For the first time in history, a council member had filed for the removal of another member, which could mean that by the end of the council meeting, the council would no longer consist of eight members, but only seven.
