A/N Your lord and master DreadGod returns worship me!!! (crickets chirp) Hmm how much exterminators cost again? Any who time to start! READ AND REVIEW
Ussop followed the rest of the Strawhats into the dark temple his fears peaked as he realized just how dark the temple was he couldn't see any of the Strawhats all he could do was follow the sound of the slow stomp made by their Mudoken guide as he continued his walk into darkness. He had originally feared the Mudoken mistaking him for the monster who had sent Nami into the sea but after hearing of their peoples past he realized Alf was like that because of how the events turned out. Now Ussop followed the light green skinned Mudoken into the void that was the temple wondering what he meant by meeting a god, was he supposed to pray for the god or make an offering he couldn't decide all he knew as that chances were he wasn't going to like it.
Alf walked in the direction he had come to memorize as he used to come here often in hopes to speak with their great god of power but sadly he was met with silence. Of course he knew the god was alive he had first handedly seen Abe channel Shrykull's strength through him and if Alf hadn't been so terrified of the destruction the sight would have been magnificent to see. He only questioned how their god could stand by and watch his worshippers be killed and enslaved twice, but then Alf cursed himself for forgetting Shrykull was bound to Abe by the tattoos Abe possessed.
As Alf walked down the memorized path he reached out his hand and caught the rope that dangled to the side of him and tugged it once. A clink could be heard somewhere in the distance and the Strawhats turned to meet whatever had made the sound only to see a dull orange glow coming from far in front of them.
The dull orange light grew brighter as it seemed to be flowed into what looked like a tube as it ran up towards the roof leaking magma as it climbed. Once it reached the top it exploded from the top of the tube launching the magma downwards towards the Strawhats and Alf. The youngest and oldest members of the crew screamed in horror upon the bright orange balls of fire fell down at them but just before they touched the bottom they were caught on a strange surface. As the magma pooled it leaked from the surface and began to out line leaf like patterns and then branches and finally trees revealing to the Strawhats a fire colored forest.
As the room finally brightened from the spread of magma the Strawhats saw that they were in a courtyard that was at least ten feet higher than the ground below them and that the path they had token seemed to be a bridge that crossed a deep catacomb that was now slowly beginning to pool with lava as well. The Strawhats could only stare in awe at the Obelisk that was Nibius was more than a temple as they looked father down the path that lie in front of them they saw a small stone city and then finally a Temple.
Robin's eyes watered wondering what her family would have done to see a place like this a place that stood long before the void century a place more priceless then all the poneglyphs combined. If she hadn't had two missions in her mind she would have made a mad dash to the city that lay in front of them and studied the ancient work of art.
"Ok now that we aren't in the dark anymore lets start moving!" Alf announced as he walked through the courtyard he grimaced at the burning forest around him it reminded him to much of that night the only thing that had been brighter than the fire was the monsters neon green eyes as he cackled like a demon. He shuddered and shook the memory out of his head because that was all it was a memory now hopefully these humans could be their salvation and banish their nightmares.
"Yo Turtle Bro how does that tube create lava and how is this room still cool and how does the lava stay that bright?" Franky questioned as he tried to solve the questions in his head only to end up with nothing more than a headache.
"Hmm never thought about it that much? Umm if I remember my history right Nibius was said to have been created by the three kings and it was after the construction Shrykull swallowed them up and made them the island spirits so I'll go on a limb and say its mystical." Alf said rubbing his head as if he was in deep thought and in reality he was no one asked questions about the great temple it was just there and that was it.
"What are you saying three people built all of this?" Ussop held out his arms and did a circle to make his point. Chopper who had been on Zoro's head when it was dark now looked at the burning trees wondering how three people could build something so beautiful but then he was reminded of his home and of Doctor Hilruk who had created the cherry blossom powder it had been beautiful and it was made by one person so why couldn't three people build this burning beauty.
"That's what I was taught to believe but Abe says the three are too stupid to have built something like this." Alf said thinking of his friend who had met the three kings on several occasions.
"Well they were unique but I wouldn't go as far as to say they were stupid." Robin spoke quietly as they entered the city. Her eyes darted from place to place looking at the ancient text printed on the buildings some of the text matched the smaller purple symbols that were etched into her larger tattoo.
"Yes your right Robin-san they weren't stupid now could I see your panties for agreeing with you." Brooke answered dead serious only to earn him a boot to the skull courtesy of Sanji that sent him to the floor were chopper quickly went to his side.
"Shitty skeleton gentlemen should never ask that sort of question no matter how much we think about it!" Sanji screamed as his thoughts went to his perverted fantasies were Robin and Nami were on him twenty-four seven, as he stood there for a second blood gushed from his nose and he fell to his knees with a dirty grin.
"Stupid Ero-cook have some shame." Zoro spat as he brought up the rear making sure nothing jumped out at them, something about this place didn't sit well with him and while everyone else was being there normally idiotic selves minus Robin he kept up his guard up. This place that everyone else had been calling beautiful and magnificent he couldn't see it all he could say when looking at his surroundings was it looked like hell. The flaming forest, the stone ghost town, the tall temple with the demonic statue and the moat of lava what about this didn't scream hell Zoro thought.
"Is that what you think of my home" A deep voice screamed in the back of Zoro's mind causing Zoro to look around frantically had someone snuck up on him Zoro thought.
"Marimo what the hell are you doing?" Sanji said as he and the rest of the Strawhats looked at him questioningly. Alf craned his neck just long enough for Zoro to see the smirk on his face before walking ahead reaching the steps of the temple.
"It seems you guys are stronger than you look or at least you are green hair." Alf spoke before dropping to his knees and began to chant with his arms drawn to his head slowly swaying to his chant. It wasn't like the one Abe had used the Strawhats noticed while Abe's was quick and ruff Alf's was slow and smooth.
"Ahh that's my type of music." The deep voice sounded from the back of Zoro's head sending Zoro's eyes to dart everywhere nervously as he did this he looked over to the rest of the Strawhats noticing all the Strawhats minus Robin looking around frantically as if they had seen a ghost. Zoro could only guess they had heard the same voice as he did.
Robin's head started hurting as she felt a familiar burning in her left arm yet again as she looked down she saw it was glowing as it had done before in the battle against Abe. Her vision began to blur as the pain was growing to great for her to handle the last thing she saw was the tattoo was making its way towards her shoulder. Before she hit the ground she was caught by Zoro who was about to announce she had fallen to his still spooked crew when a bright light caught his eye.
Alf had now reached the end of his hymn and bright lights began to gather around him, he questioned whether this would work but decided to put his faith in the Strawhats and hoping it would pay off in the end. As the lights continued to gather around him they quickly began to flow into him and Alf began to feel a presence fill his body and for that moment Alf felt Godlike before blacking out.
The Strawhats continued to look around feverously for the voice that had made itself present only a moment ago each not wanting to ask if any of the others had heard it too in fear that they would be thought crazy. Ussop was about to break the silence when Zoro made his way over and caught Robin but that wasn't what everyone was staring at not even Sanji could pull his eyes away from the creature in front of them to help his Robin-chan. All of the Strawhats watched in wonder and horror as Alf began to shake and tremble before falling to the ground and then launching himself into the air and just hanging there limp.
"Ahh its been a while since I have been able to speak through someone. Tch to bad this body is to weak to take on the transformation to my power so far I only know of two who can contain me and only one who can use my abilities properly." The body formally known as Alf spoke in the same deep voice that shook the Strawhats only moments ago. He looked just like Alf except his skin had darkened and his eyes had gone a bright blue in contrast to the orange glow of the fortress.
"Who… Who are ya... ya...you?" Ussop stuttered not being able to hide the fear in his voice but at the same time not being able to bring himself to look away. For some reason his thoughts drifted to his home and to Kaya for only a moment before coming back to the situation.
"I am Shrykull now tell me why humans are besmirching my temple by merely existing!" The being now known as Shrykull boomed his eyes sending a shiver down most of the Strawhats necks but they still couldn't look away they couldn't even move.
"Your asshole minions those three shitty weirdoes brought us here to help your sorry ass fight back against your worshippers nightmares!" Sanji growled as he grabbed a cigarette out of his jacket and brought it to his mouth to smoke. His thoughts were suddenly brought to the ship were Luffy, Nami, Robin and he stood, he saw himself trying to get the ladies attention only to be ignored by them because they were to busy swooning over Luffy when Luffy wasn't even paying attention. His thoughts flashed to him poisoning a piece of meat and giving it to Luffy and watching Luffy as he gurgled and died. Sanji shook his head he had no idea where the hell that came from but it shook him thinking of what had just transpired in his mind but before he could dwell on it his mind was brought back into the present by a roar.
"Who the hell do you think you are talking to mortal? It would be too easy to kill all of you right now even in this weak body! Now if you are all truly the ones the three kings sent for you wouldn't mind telling me what you are doing here and not fighting off Dread!" Shrykull snarled as he looked down on the group he knew who they were of course and he knew why they had sought him out but just to watch them squirm he would keep this up until they gained the balls to ask for what they were supposed to ask for.
"Whoa lets cool down God bro there is no reason to go all annihilate on us!" Franky cried trying to calm down the angered god while silently cursing the dumb ass cook for his idiotic mouth. His thoughts suddenly flashed to Water7 his home and the Franky family and how he would never have had to leave if the Strawhats hadn't been going the way they were. He would be home with Kiwi, Mozu and Zambai but with in three days time his fate was changed forever and it was all the Strawhats fault. Franky questioned why he was even thinking about that he didn't regret going with the Strawhats hell he had been living his dream since being with them, so why this thought all of a sudden.
"Awe but that's my favorite part. Hahahaahahahaha! I would answer my question before I get impatient!" Shrykull cackled he had no idea that humans could be this fun, the Mudokens were all business and worship and he didn't get to know any of the other inhabitants so right now he was having a hell of a time messing with the humans.
"We come here for your cowl!" Zoro screamed towards the possessed Mudoken, he handed Robin to Sanji who for some reason looked highly conflicted as did Franky. He took a step forward and then another until he was only a few feet away from the god before dropping to his knees and bowing.
"We seek a way to get the hell off these islands and return to our dreams." Zoro said sternly and totally at the mercy of the God who looked down at him with what could barely be a smirk.
"Hahahahaha! Now you are one impressive specimen aren't you? Well you answered my question so I will allow you to take a test if you pass that then my cowl is yours but you will be warned I will use your desires and fears against you as if I were an enemy and the one that passes will be asked the same question again. What do you want? Hahaahahahahaha Sleep!" Shrykull roared before waving to the Strawhats and watching them fall. He dropped to the ground and walked to the one women of the group and looked over her arm before snapping his fingers and watching her eyes flutter open.
"Wake up Robin-chan its time for you to begin your mission." Shrykull whispered to Robin and as if on queue her eyes blinked open. Robin looked over her surroundings to see that she was in the hanging in the air in the middle of the temple, with the creature she assumed to be Alf on the ground bellow her.
"Ahhh you're finally awake now for your mission." Shrykull spoke and his deep voice drifting towards Robin's ears and immediately telling her she wasn't dealing with Alf anymore instead someone way more powerful.
"Who are you and what have you done with my nakama!" Robin screamed as she struggled to move but it was like when Abe had frozen the crew all she could do was watch and surprisingly talk this time.
"Hahahahahaha! What spirit you have how come you don't act like this all the time? Any way green hair and the others are fine but their not really important in this game merely pawns while you my dear are a queen. And as a queen you have only one equal the other queen and that's were your Navigator comes in what is her name again Oh yeah Nami. You must face her and pass on that wonderful protection charm you possess to her whether she likes it or not." Shrykull finished as he watched her continue to try breaking his mental block and damn she was getting close he was a god and she was wriggling her way past his defenses. Shrykull sighed before dissolving and reanimating in front of Robin and took his left hand and gently stroked her face to try and calm her sadly it proved the exact opposite and set her into a frenzy to get away. Finally having enough of her struggling he as gently as a god could slapped her across her face earning him her obedience.
"Now stop struggling and be a good girl. I have a proposition for you now if you do as I tell you I will grant you one wish whatever it may be rewrite your past alter your future all can be done. Your wish is my command as long as you do what I ask." Shrykull proposed knowing he had won already but just the same the same waited calmly for her reply
Robin didn't know what to think she had just been given the option to rewrite her past the buster call could be erased entirely and she could have a life, a good life. Her thoughts drifted to her Mother, Professor Clover, Saw they could be alive again with her, but her heart drifted elsewhere Luffy she loved him and if everything hadn't happened she would have never met him. Her heart fought with her mind on the situation on one side her life experience could be exponentially changed to be better on the other if she did she would never meet him, never know him, never love him, and never be loved by him even though there relationship hadn't blossomed yet she had hopes. She couldn't do it her life didn't start until she met him so looking at it that way she was rewriting as she lived now. So what would she do alter the future but to what make all the Strawhats dreams come true?
"What do you mean by alter the future?" Robin questioned wanting to know what exactly she was asking for, she looked to the Godlike Mudoken to try to see if he had any tells so she could tell if he was lying but then why would a god lie.
"Its exactly as it sounds I am a god nothing is outside my power if you were to ask for world peace I would give it to you, to cure starvation done I can do anything. So when I say alter your future I mean I can make any desired fate possible be it your dreams to come true sooner rather than later done or maybe your looking into a love life with Mugiwara no Luffy hmm?" Shrykull smiled at the now blushing women but inside he was angered by her indecisiveness she knew what she wanted she was just over thinking it and wasting precious time.
"I want Luffy… I want him to love me." Robin spoke her face deepening in shade by having finally admitted to loving the man out loud.
"Put it in wish form and we have got a deal but not before you finish what I have asked." Shrykull poke as he slowly hovered down to the floor with Robin floating closely. When they hit the ground Robin needed a second to steady but then she readied herself for her next words the words that would change her life.
"I wish Luffy and I were in love for all eternity." Robin spoke in a sing song voice wishing with all her might that it would come true adding the eternity to make sure the god didn't have any tricks up his sleeves.
"Perfect now to your part of the deal you will be with your nakama until Nami finds you some how she will separate you from the group and once you are away she will kill you. Now what I want you to do is right before she attempts to kill you hold her in your real arms for a minute or so and the tattoo will branch off you and into her freeing her from Dread's hold and then both of you can block out his and the boys abilities allowing you and your nakama a chance to defeat them." Shrykull spoke as he walked back through the temple with Robin following quickly behind him.
"What do you mean Dread's hold? What has happened to Nami?" Robin screamed as she moved to the front of the godly entity blocking his path. Shrykull looked at her with mild distaste before dissolving and reanimating a few feet away still heading in his same direction.
"No reason to yell she has just been manipulated with her deepest desires as you have just now so there. The only difference between you and her are your handlers I want to save the world from the chaos that will eventually destroy it and Dread wishes to bring that chaos. Now I have had enough of this conversation you and I are done here." Shrykull growled asking himself if it was really that difficult to get, all he was trying to do was stop those mind manipulating bastards Dread and Hoji at their own game. These people were nothing more than chest pieces that He and Dread moved from place to place. In all honesty he hadn't had this much fun in a millennium then out of the blue fifteen years ago Dread and his crew of nightmarish sadists came and threatened to throw the world into chaos all for their fun and had awakened Shrykull from his slumber in the name of a game.
"I see you are merely manipulating me to win your little game with Dread." Robin spoke sullenly as her head fell, she had known his deal was too good to be true and now she knew this was nothing more than a game to him.
"Hahaahahahaha! Fool I mean everything I say you will get your petty wish so stop thinking I am a liar. Now as to your little game theory in all honesty it is just a little game to me but to people like yourselves the game is for the fate of the world. So I would just do as I say and you'll get your reward Robin-chan. "Shrykull laughed he didn't know why these damn kids were destined to save this cursed world but if they weren't he would have killed them on sight.
"Fine I will do it." Robin spoke as she looked down to the floor while they walked questioning whether the god was being truthful about what would happen to Nami if she were grabbed by her. She had felt the pain just as that other Mudoken had she only hoped it wouldn't kill Nami.
As Shrykull stopped at the steps so did Robin scanning the area in front of her she looked on in horror as the Strawhats were all on the ground contorting into painful looking positions or painfully shaking while moaning in pain. One Strawhat differed from the rest as Robin looked on to Zoro who looked as he did normally while sleeping.
"What is happening to them?" Robin cried out as she moved to help her crew but was stopped by Shrykull who looked on the Strawhats with disinterest. He yet again questioned the strength of the Strawhats, how could they possible stand against the nightmarish crew when they couldn't even defeat their own demons. His eyes fell to the green haired one he had already conquered his inner demons it seemed, well maybe they would be able to hold up against Demons for awhile he mused.
"They are facing their desires, their pasts, their guilts, their fears, their emotions they will either conquer them or fall to them and become what they fear. They have not been putting up a good fight so far except green hair he seems to have been done for a while." Alf said monotonously as he began to shake horribly the same began to happen to the very temple as well as the rest of Nibius.
"What is happening?" Robin asked as she struggled to stand with the fierce shaking the temple was doing. She automatically thought of an earthquake but realized nothing seemed to be breaking merely vibrating terribly.
"Hmm it would seem they arrived sooner than I thought they would. Well I had hoped to have prepared you all some more but are time will be cut short. I would hurry and wake your Nakama otherwise they may not wake up in time to defend themselves." Alf ordered as he fell to his knees his hold over his host beginning to waiver he watched as Robin raced down the stairs all the while summoning arms that were slapping the hell out of her crew.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Robin-chwan no reason to be ruff I am more than willing to…" Sanji moaned in his sleep until he felt an uncomfortable pressure squeezing somewhere thing shouldn't be squeezed. His eyes burst open as he jumped from the ground and into the air yipping in pain. He looked around to see the others waking in a similar fashion save for Brooke who was having his hair yanked.
"Oi Nico Robin what the hell that is not Super!" Franky yelled as he held himself and made sure everything was still there. But as he was checking he fell to the ground because the terrible vibration that seemed to ring through him causing immense pain to his joints.
"What the hell is going on?" Chopper cried as his hooves couldn't even get back up after he fell he looked to the others for an answer only to see the same confused look on everyone else's face. He looked to the temple in time to notice Robin running disorientated down the stairs.
"Ugh what the hell is with this earthquake were the hell did that damn Mudoken run off to." Zoro grumbled as he stood up as if the whole place wasn't shaking as he looked around he saw the Mudoken god at the top of the stairs on his knees drained and a wobbling Robin running down towards them.
"Mina we have got problems Dreads people are breaking in." Robin spoke out of breathe with her hands on her knees as she gasped for breathe. She stood in front of the Strawhats watching their reactions only to see a mixed look of anger and determination. Anger at the man known as Dread who had enslaved these islands and caused so much pain to the Mudoken people as well as the rest of the island inhabitants. In truth all of the Strawhats had seen him in their nightmarish trails and now only desired to put an end to his tyranny.
"Well what are we waiting for lets go make a stew out of those bastards. Then we can find Nami-swan." Sanji spoke as he searched in his coat for another cigarette pulled it out and lit it.
"Oi vortex-brow don't forget about Luffy but other than that I have got to agree Shuusiu is crying for blood." Zoro let out a demonic smile while he began walking towards the exit.
"Zoro-san the exit is that way." Brooke pointed down the path they had come up not to long ago, Zoro stopped dead in his tracks before craning his head and looking in the direction that Brooke was pointing before heading that way mumbling an I kew that as he went.
All the Strawhats caught up with Zoro drawing their weapons as they went and prepared for nearing battle. They stopped when the vibrations quit and the doors to Nibius fell off. The Strawhats were no where near the entrance but the doorway was so huge it could easily be seen from the temple. As the doors fell off a satanic laugh filled the monolith sending chills down the Strawhats spines.
Before the Strawhats had time to move two figures appeared in front of them the light of the magma that surrounded them gave them a demonic look. The Strawhats looked to two men stood in the path one clad in a suit and top hat wielding a cane and the other wearing a large jacket that cover most of his body minus the large gray shield that pulled down his left arm.
"Yehahahaha so these are the kids who freed stitch lips huh they don't look too bad." The man in the suit laughed as he eyed the Strawhats.
"Hmmm I have the swordsman." The jacket wearing man spoke in a stoic tone as he slowly began to pull his nodachi from its sheath eyeing Zoro as he did.
"Aww I wanted him well doesn't matter I'll take the blonde." The suit clad demon grumbled before disappearing and reappearing as he slammed his cane against Sanji's chin and launching him towards the city.
"Sanji!!" Chopper screamed as he watched Sanji fly through the air. Chopper jumped to retrieve Sanji but stopped instantly and fell to the ground clenching his nose.
"Chopper whats wrong?" Ussop cried as he went over to the reindeer but his mind seemed hazy as he slowly became dizzy and began to see double vision. He fell to his knees and looked back to the rest of the Strawhats before he fell to the ground immobilized by the strange feeling.
The rest of the Strawhats seemed to be effected by it as well as they all staggered save for Robin who stood confused on what exactly was happening but none the less summoned arms to hold up the dazed Strawhats. She looked to the man remaining in front of them he had yet to move his silver gray eyes watching the Strawhats with cold distain.
Zoro stood tall with the help of Robin's arms but was in no way capable of taking a step, hell he was barely able to keep his eyes open with the enormous weigh that seemed to have hold of his senses. He looked to Robin and silently thanked her for holding them up but as he looked his eyes caught the light off of a thin noose that slowly worked its way around Robin's neck.
"Robin!!!" Zoro roared as he jumped out of his paralytic state with Shuusui aiming directly at the string but as he reached it Robin had already been lifted so he had to pull back as Robin was whisked away leading to all of the Strawhats to fall down.
"Ahh now that she's gone how about a duel green hair I will give you a minute to gather yourself after that I cant promise your safety." The man spoke lifting his Nodachi to rest on his right shoulder.
As soon as the man finished Zoro instantly began to regain his feelings and with that his motor skills and vision. He looked to his left and right and saw that the rest of the crew had risen as well minus Chopper who still hadn't risen. Zoro finally began to feel his body go normal again and then jumped towards the mystery man who did nothing but smirk.
"Well that was quicker than expected but sadly the rest of your crew wont be able to fight with us I had bet Monty that I could kill you all before they got here." The man said as a distinct rumbling sound echoed in the monolith.
"Zoro-san!!" Brooke screamed as he ran to help the other swordsman but before he could reach the man had pushed Zoro back and back flipped before disappearing all together.
The Strawhats looked on in shock as they saw a stampede of red tan creatures that ran on four spider like legs there upper body was armless and there heads were giant beaks that looked as if they could easily tear through the Strawhats. The beast charged at the Strawhats who's eyes had popped out of their head and ran the other way Franky picking up Chopper.
Zoro was behind the rest of the Strawhats trying to catch up after being knocked back by the mystery swordsmen mildly pissed that the duel he had been promised. As he ran to catch up with the others he saw a bright light in the corner of his eyes and barely managed to duck as a blade swiped at his head and was unable to block the shield that threw him over the stampede and in front of the temple.
Zoro just missed the stairs as he crash landed a few feet away from them. He rushed to stand and quickly dodged to the left as the man launched a downward slash. Zoro brought out both Wado and Shuusui to send a diagonal slash at the man only to meet his shield and counter with a forward thrust that Zoro back flipped under and got some ground between them.
"Heh Heh Heh your pretty good for a guy only using one arm." Zoro panted as he grabbed his bandana from his arm and tied it on his head a demonically sadistic smile spreading across his face.
"Hmm your not so bad yourself My name is Ashteir." He spoke his legs bent letting his shield stand in front of him while his blade rested on it. His hair had fallen out of its pony tail and now hid his eyes leaving only a demonic smile on his face.
"Zoro. I am guessing your one of Dread's men right" Zoro questioned as he put Wado in his mouth and pulled Sandai from its sheath preparing to attack.
"You're correct but a true swordsman needs no reason to kill a man when challenged to a duel does he?" Ashteir retorted chuckling lightly as he stood there.
"No but I will gain so much more pleasure from this knowing you are." Zoro whispered deadly before licking his lips and going into an attack.
With Sanji
"YEHAHAHAHAHA THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO SEE YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO STUN ME IF YOU KEEP HITTING ME LIKE THAT BLONDY!!!!" Monty laughed as he spit out blood from the enraged cooks last hit. Monty hadn't broken a sweat and minus the thin line of blood dribbling from his lip. He twirled his cane yet again before dashing at the cook who for his part swung his leg up to meet Monty's face but was stopped by Monty catching Sanji's leg between his cane and arm and then ending with Monty knocking the wind out of Sanji with a kick to his chest. Monty didn't let up and swung his cane down at Sanji's ribs connecting before Sanji kicked Monty arm and the kicked Monty's chin effectively launching him backwards.
"Shitty cane using psychopath as soon as I am done with you I am going to save my Robin-chwan." Sanji rasped out as he held his chest in pain noting that the psycho was only aiming for his chest. He looked to Monty who had already gotten up and wiped his chin still smiling like a maniac. Sanji couldn't stay here and fight this guy he couldn't not after what the man had told him about Robin and what was happening to her.
"Yehahahahaha Don't rush this or you may just die blondy! Yehahahaha and beside Nadia doesn't like interruptions and when she gets angry you don't want to be the poor bastard who is in her way." Monty shuttered not counting Dread and Hoji if there was one person to fear it was Nadia and if you didn't fear her she would cut it into you. Thinking back to it he had been one of her unfortunate toys and she cut her name into his leg.
"I don't care what you think I will defeat anything that hurts Robin-chwan!" Sanji screamed before dashing towards Monty who was howling with laughter.
With Robin
"Let me go AHHHHHH!" Robin cried as yet again the demented child ripped at her arm not attempting to touch the glowing tattoo but everything else was fair game and right now Robin's shoulder held the most fun.
"Quiet Nee-san I am trying to make a flower but you're screaming keeps making me mess up. We have all the time in the world for screaming but right now I am drawing." Nadia pouted childishly but immediately went back to her humming a made up song. She held a small scalpel like knife that was pink in color but if one were to look closely was only that color because of the blood stains.
Robin struggled to move but her paralyzed body could do nothing but lay in the swing like contraption that the little girl had made from her webbish string. At first thought she had guessed that the girl had been a illusion played by Dread but now she had wished she could take back letting the child touch her.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" Robin screamed again as blood drenched her left arm and began to drip from her finger she could only wonder how she hadn't lost consciousness from either the pain or the blood loss but she wished for the sweet release of unconsciousness now.
"There done Nee-san now you can stop being such a baby and we can play something more fun hehehe." Nadia giggled as she admired her work before staring Robin in the face with a sickly sweet smile. Robin could only shed tears hoping for someone to save her from this hell
