Romeo and decided to see if Clive was simply trying to replace Squall. Todoh confronted Cam and told him that Clive owed debts to very powerful people and it was upto the boy to get his money.



His threat was successful and Cam attempted to get the money, but failed. Todoh decided to punish Cam for his failure as Cam tried to abandon the ransome. Todoh easily defeats Cam and decides to spare him, instilling fear into his heart. Todoh found Cam the next day along with another person, a swordsmen named Lyndis. They refused to pay so Todoh battled them hoping to finish them off.

Unfortunatley for Todoh, Cam had adapted to his new found powers in his Devil Fruit and defeated Todoh. They then took Todoh hostage and forced him to tell them all about Black Steel and his plans. He was then thrown overboard by the Red Wing Pirates.
