History
As Goro and Gedatsu rooted around in search of hot springs, the digging unearthed the Dirt Boss. The mole lunged at Gedatsu but was put down with little trouble, after which he fell into line as a follower of the former sky priest. Resuming his tunneling, he struck water deep beneath the surface and located the spring the pair were after. He kept on burrowing until he abruptly broke through into Arabasta, and in doing so carved a passage joining the two islands together.
