"I still can't comprehend why the zombie Ryuma chose to attack Nami, Usopp, and Chopper with the back of his sword," said Mihawk as he attentively read the manga. Mihawk directed the previous question to his friend, Issho.
"It could be that Moria didn't have the intention of killing them, or the zombie Ryuma may not have seen them as a formidable threat," responded Issho with a suggestion.
"I don't concur with that," interjected a third person.
"Hmm?" Issho asked with a hint of confusion in his voice.
At that moment, their focus was directed towards the arrival of a dignitary in Wano, who was actually the most influential person in all of Wano Kuni: Wano's shogun, Kozuki Sukiyaki. He wore a distinctive red mask with a long nose to hide his identity from the inhabitants of the Flower Capital. He approached their table and sat quietly.
"So, what's your opinion, Shogun-sama?" Issho enquired with his characteristic gentle smile. Mihawk and Issho had grown close to the shogun after their fight against the Samurai Gorosei and their successful efforts to protect Wano.
"If you recall, Dr. Hogback asked Ryuma's corpse to banish Nami, Usopp, and Chopper to the Realm of Shadows. I believe this refers to a place under the control of Moria, not the underworld," the shogun clarified.
Mihawk and Issho nodded with thoughtful expressions, recognizing that they had neglected some crucial information. The shogun was absolutely correct.
"That explains why the zombie Ryuma didn't resort to killing Usopp and the others," said Mihawk with enlightenment.
"Yes, I concur with Hawk-chan," added Issho in agreement.
...
"So, let me get this straight, you're asking us to step in and prevent the samurai from setting sail to capture Gecko Moria?" Mihawk queried, seeking clarity.
"That's correct," the shogun replied. "You both are legendary hunters from the Hunters Guild and I have confidence in your ability to put a stop to these angry and agitated samurai."
Issho sighed before he spoke, "It's not that we are unable to stop them, but what basis do we have to interfere with someone pursuing a pirate? It seems unjustified."
"I comprehend your reservations, Issho," the shogun acknowledged. "But I feel that your master, Rob-sama, would not want such a situation to occur. The samurai from Wano Kuni are being driven solely by emotions and, despite what was portrayed in the manga, Moria did not actually steal Ryuma-sama's corpse or the national treasure, Shusui."
"Just because something was depicted in the manga does not make it a reality," Shogun added.
"I understand your viewpoint, Shogun-sama," Issho said, nodding in agreement. Mihawk remained silent and intently listened to the ongoing conversation.
"As you are the highest authority in this nation, I see no reason to decline your request. We will do everything in our power to prevent the angry samurai from departing Wano."

"Zoro seems to have gotten lost once more."
"What's new about that? Sanji's disappearance is even more puzzling."
"I wonder where he went and what his connection is with the strange penguin."
"I have a bad feeling about this."
"Gecko Moria must be involved in this."
"Finally, an exciting fight! Franky is battling one of the zombie generals."
Ohara residents have been avidly reading the manga and sharing their thoughts on various scenes.
In the meantime, Brook was eagerly awaiting his next appearance.
"Come on, you foolish skeleton! When will you retrieve your shadow?"
"Once you get it back, a thrilling journey with the Straw Hats awaits! Yohohohoho!"
