The Pyke Syndicate has been gathering soldiers the last few weeks. Mayor Mok Shaiz is on their payroll and has flown off world, which leads us to believe the storm is about to break.
It was a scheduled vacation, actually.

S1 E6Chapter 6: From the Desert Comes a Stranger
[to Luke] So much like your father.
[to Grogu] You're trying to hard. Don't try, do.
I want to tell you about someone you remind me of a great deal. His name was Yoda. He was small like you, but his heart was huge, and the Force was strong in him. He once said to me, "Size matters not." That's how he talked. He would speak in riddles.
[about Grogu] You've taught him well.
It's more like he's remembering than I'm actually teaching him anything.
Sometimes the student guides the master.
You. I didn't expect to see you here.
[about the Skywalkers] I'm an old friend of the family.
I don't understand why you're alright with Skywalker's decision to train the kid when you wouldn't.
Because it was my choice. I don't control the wants of others.
[a mysterious red-eyed humanoid alien - Cad Bane - enters Freetown and Cobb Vanth receives him after sending all the residents indoors]
CBCad Bane
Cobb Vanth.
CVCobb Vanth
And who might you be?
BBane
Whatever Fett is paying you, we'll match, and all you've got to do is stay put and let things play out.
DDeputy
Hey, the Marshal ain't for sale. [Bane raises head to look at them]
VVanth
I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name.
BBane
I'd be careful where I was sticking my nose if I were you.
VVanth
Is that friendly advice or a threat?
BBane
Boba Fett is a cold-blooded killer who worked with the Empire.
VVanth
You tell your spice runners Tatooine is closed for business. This planet's seen enough violence.
BBane
You should've never given up your armor. [long pause. Vanth draws but Bane shoots him first in the shoulder then kills the Deputy with three shots] Tatooine belongs to the Syndicate. As long as the spice keeps running, everyone will be left alone. [holsters weapon and walks away]
[to Grogu] The Mandalorian wanted you to have this. [shows beskar chainmail suit] But before you take it, I will give you a choice. [opens box and pulls out a lightsaber] This... is a lightsaber. It belonged to my teacher, Master Yoda. And now, I'm offering it to you. But you may choose only one. If you choose the armor, you'll return to your friend, the Mandalorian. However, you will be giving in to attachment to those that you love and forsaking the way of the Jedi. But if you choose the lightsaber, you will be the first student in my academy, and I will train you to be a great Jedi. It will take you many years to master the ways of the Force, and you may never see the Mandalorian again because, Grogu, a short time for you is a lifetime for someone else. [Grogu coos] Which do you choose?
S1 E7Chapter 7: In the Name of Honor
[Mok Shaiz's majordomo emerges from the Garsa's Sanctuary ruins offering to negotiate with the Pykes laying siege, with a tablet at hand]
Salutations! Salutations! I am unarmed but for this tablet bearing the terms of surrender. I wish to present to whomever spokesperson is empowered to deliberate an acceptable outcome in the eyes of the Oba Diah high council.
PSPyke Syndicate leader
Read it to me, tail-head.
Oh, because of the enchanting sobriquet, and one of which I never tire. Yes. Someday I hope to see the fabled Obsidian Cliffs of Oba Diah with my own eyes.
PSPyke Syndicate leader
Read it.
Agreed. Let us dispense with the pleasantries. [Clears throat as he reads tablet] "I, Boba Fett, speaking as Daimyo of the Tatooine territories formerly held by Jabba the Hutt, do present the following offer". [looks at the text] Perhaps we should discuss what you'd be willing to...
PSPyke Syndicate leader
Read it.
"... following offer. Nothing". Uh... "You will leave this planet and your spice trade. If you refuse these terms... [clears throat] the arid sands of Tatooine will once again flourish with flowered fields fertilized with the bodies of your dead". His words.
[Peli Motto and the droids have extracted Mando and are leading the Pykes' Scorpeneks on a wild goose chase]
Hey, Mando! Look who's here.
MMando
What? [sees Grogu emerge from a sheet, who leaps up at the Mandalorian as they embrace once again] Hey, what are you doing here? Oh! Okay, little guy. I'm happy to see you too. I didn't know when I'd see you again. It's okay. Yeah. I missed you too, buddy. But, uh... we're in a bit of a bind here right now. You be careful. You keep your head down. You stay hidden until the fight's over. [notices Grogu wearing the beskar chainmail suit the Armorer made for him] Hey, that's the shirt. You got the shirt.
Save your tender moment. We've got a Scorpenek droid chasing us.
MMando
What is he doing here?
The Force works in mysterious ways.
