Chaos in Dressrosa (3)

Law panted, tired from fighting Doflamingo. "Why do you still have the power of the Celestial Dragons from Mariejois? You moved CP0 this morning."

"Fufufu. I never did! Even though you'll die, you want to know? I'm inside the sacred Mariejois because I know about the important National Treasure. Its existence itself will shake the world. To them, I was a fugitive who possessed the worst trump card. Since they weren't able to kill me, the Celestial Dragons became very cooperative. And from the day your Ope-Ope no Mi powers got into my hands, that day, I was able to use Mariejois's "National Treasure" and got the authority to rule the world! It's that useful a power. You can "transplant people's personalities". If a person with wisdom uses the fruit, they can make every person's dream come true. Many call it the "ultimate devil's fruit".""Yeah, of course I know. I'm not interested though! The most powerful technique is granting people "eternal life". "Perennial Youth Operation". But if you do it, the user will lose their life."

"Yes! I didn't want you to eat it! You repaid my favour with revenge! Diamanté's sword tricks! Lao G's hand combat! Gladius' gunnery! Sally's kick combat! I taught you all you know about fighting!" Doflamingo clashed with Law.

"Yeah! And it's thanks to Cora I'm what I am now. I'm thankful. You gave me powers with which I can defeat you." Law prepared his sword. "Room." A blue dome encased the two. "What do you think of Monkey D. Luffy? I just found out today that you were a Celestial Dragon. Shambles!" Law swapped places with a pebble he had thrown over Doflamingo, narrowly escaping Doflamingo's string attack. "What do you think of the name "D"?" Law stabbed Doflamingo. But Doflamingo had caught the blade with an armoured fist. Doflamingo pulled the sword, along with Law.

"Are you saying Straw Hat Luffy is here for my head, a descendant of the Gods!? Ridiculous!" He used his strings to slice Law, who shielded himself by imbuing his arms with Armament Haki.

"I'm a D as well."

Doflamingo's annoyed expression turned to one of horror. Furious, he sliced Law again, destroying the floor of the New Palace.

"You're a "D"!? A hidden name, huh! I'd like to believe that your coming here was somewhat fated. What did Corazon tell you? Did you think you can stop me? It's a superstition, all that natural enemy crap."

"Ne ne Doffy, be careful! You're gonna get into his power's range!" Trébol shouted.

"Injection Shot!" Law pierced Doflamingo's body.

"I've come to do what Corazon couldn't do. He was too kind to pull the trigger. So I'll do it for him!"

Doflamingo fell onto one knee as he clutched the hole. Sally's body bled in place of Doflamingo's.

Law sliced off one of the towers of the Palace. "Tact. Point!"

"Woah! The outer walls of the tower are… Ne-! It's coming at us!" Trebol exclaimed. He managed to reconstruct his body.

"Spider's Web!" Doflamingo sliced the incoming tower. Law clenched his fist. The raining debris flew towards Doflamingo.

"Shambles." Law appeared behind Doflamingo. "Scalpel!" Law tried to pierce Doflamingo with his hand but was caught.

"Don't bore me with your useless attacks. Look at you now, all gutsy and fired up." Doflaingo held Law at his eye level with one hand. "If you were serious about killing me, you could've just ended it all by putting me against Kaido. There're millions of ways to take out an enemy you're no match for! But letting your emotions show regarding your feelings for Corazón. From the moment you decided to mess with my plans, you dug your own grave! Do you still remember the letter back then? Corazón wanted to save Dressrosa! Well, if you hadn't fucked up so badly that day, those countless tragedies might not have happened at all."

"Do you really think so?" Law asked in a casual manner, unconvinced.

"Fufufufufufufu. Calm and sharp, very good. That's right. To be honest, it didn't matter what that letter said or how you changed your tactics. The throne already belonged to me! And in the end, all that Corazón did in exchange for his own life was for naught." Doflamingo hooked his right leg onto Law's right shoulder.

"That'll be my decision from this point onwards! Everything I've done and will be doing till I die are all achievements Corazón left behind!"

"I see. Well, boohoo for you. All tragedies and errors, it's because they happened that this became our reality! Eating the Ope-Ope no Mi and escaping, bearing your fangs at me at Punk Hazard! And now, here!" Doflamingo rose up and held Law up by his hands. He brought his leg down, sending Law crashing towards the screamed in agony. His right arm was sliced off.

"Fufufu! So you've been influenced by the other D, huh? The day that you'd challenge me on your own has become a reality as well! And that's why I'll forgive you. Just like I forgave my father and brother… with their deaths."

"Damn it!" Law tried to repair his arm.

"Nothing says 'execution' like lead bullets, eh!"

"Jet Gatling!" Luffy attacked from the floor below.

"Something came from below!" Karin shouted, angry that the fight was interrupted.

"Doffy!" Sally called out. Doflamingo's body split into pieces as Luffy attacked.

"Mingoooooo~ Come out where you areeeeee!" Luffy shouted.

"Behehehehe. The Shadow Doffy's all shredded up!"

"I guess the cage was too small to keep something like that in, huh?" Doflamingo walked over to the hole Luffy had made.

"Hey, Mingo! Stop Bellamy! He'll die!"

"So you're still alive, Bellamy. Sure, why not." Doflamingo released his control of Bellamy. "That's enough, Bellamy! I'll free you, just like it used to be."

"Oi, Bellamy! You okay!? Of course you're not okay. Hey, don't push yourself. Just stay down! I'm worried about Torao. I'm sure Mingo and Snotty's up there! Torao will be in danger if I don't help him! I'll beat up Mingo for you as well, okay!"

Sally looked down into the hole. Bellamy was trying to get up and fight Luffy. Bellamy slowly got up. "Wait, do you remember this skill? Spring Hopper!" Bellamy imbued his fists with Busoshoku Haki and punched Luffy in the stomach.


Law panted. He couldn't fight Trébol and Doflamingo. Karin and Sally sat on the remains of the walls, back facing them, silently watching the brawls in Dressrosa. People were falling one after another. Karin didn't care about them. But she was upset when Family members were defeated one after another. Only Trébol and Doflamingo were left. She turned her head back to look at Law's bloodied state.

"Behehehe. He's still alive! Ne ne Law! You're a pretty stubborn guy, aren't you?"

"Just give up, Law. Why would you come at both of us when you can't even defeat me alone?! Straw Hat won't be coming here so quickly. He did have the guts to kill his own 'friend'. So what makes you think he'll come for you? Such a pity. Born in a hellish place like White Town and growing up not knowing if you have a future or not. Oh, but you met Corazón and had your life extended. Now it's like your his ghost trying to come back and haunt me. Living on just to exact vengeance on me."

Doflamingo took out his pistol and tapped Law's forehead with it. "A truly worthless 13 years for you. I do pity you." He loaded the pistol and pressed on Law's collar. "And now, you'll definitely die. Die a horrible death in vain. How bout you do something useful for a change? For old time's sake. You'll do your ope ope no mi's ultimate skill on me, the immortality surgery on me, and then you die. And in exchange, I'll grant you a wish. Anything you want!"

"Anything I want? Heh. That's a good idea if you're telling the truth. That'd benefit us both. Alright, you have a deal." Law said with a smug face. "Bring Cora-san back to life this instant! And go lick the asshole of every person in this country." Law pointed his middle finger at Doflamingo. "The Straw Hat Pirates are a group that make miracles happen! They won't be deferred by somebody like you and you won't be getting Ceasar back either! Your future is already…" Bang! Doflamingo shot Law's chest. Law fell forward.

"Those words on your back. 'Corazón'. What are you trying to insinuate?! And the name of your crew, the Heart Pirates. What was all that about?! From someone like you that couldn't even be on the heart seat!" Doflamingo shot at the smiley on the back of Law's coat. "So why do you carry the 'heart' Law?" Doflamingo fired more shots. He panted in annoyance. "How annoying! Law…Corazón! Our curse ends now!"


"DOFLAMINGO!" Luffy yelled as he crashed through the ceiling.

"How was Bellamy once I freed him? Did he gain the freedom that he wanted?"

"Don't play dumb with me! You knew it all along! You knew he couldn't go anywhere!" Luffy's fists expanded and hardened as he sent them flying towards Doflamingo.

Doflamingo protected himself with Spider's Web. "Heheheh. I see, so he couldn't get away."

"Hawk Gatling!" Luffy sent a rain of hardened punches from above.

Doflamingo was suddenly behind Luffy. "Break White!" Large sheets of string almost crushed Luffy as he narrowly escaped. Luffy slipped on Law's blood.

"Huh? Ah! Hey! Torao! What's all this blood?! What happened to your arm!? Hey! Pull yourself together! Torao!"

"He's dead… C'mon, it's pretty damn obvious, isn't it?"

"You're lying!"

"He sounded like he really trusted you. He said you'd show us what miracles were, Straw Hat, will you now? I don't think you'd be a problem even if we did fight but come at us! It's time to end the games…"


"Let's have a shooting contest, Love."

"Shooting contest? What are we shooting?" Karin looked at her mother. She had long gotten bored of watching Doflamingo throwing Law around like a sack of potatoes.

"Our enemies of course. But we should start off with the more troublesome ones." Sally took out a silver flintlock pistol. It was the same design as Doflamingo's pistol, but different in colour.

"Doesn't Mother get burnt from touching silver?" Karin asked as she took out her own pistol— her steampunk pistol.

"Not all demons have the same weaknesses. I'm not affected by silver. But I get burnt from touching pure copper."

Both mother and daughter were engrossed with their game until Sally suddenly clutched her body and coughed out blood. Both turned around to see Doflamingo cough out blood. Luffy kicked him down after he tried to crush Law's skull.

Trébol, who tried to attack Law, was kicked to the side by Luffy.

Law used Counter Shock on Doflamingo but collapsed onto the floor soon after. Doflamingo slowly stood up.

"I could do simple first aid, if I were given enough time, you know… I'm repairing myself, I guess, with my strings, fixing the organs you destroyed. That's what powers are for."

"Doffy, don't be so reckless. I might not be able to fix all of your organs."

"Eat Law if you have to, Sally. Then you could heal me and give me immortality."

"I hope I won't have to do that. It's a last resort."

"I'll make sure you'll be sent off properly this time!" Doflamingo raised his foot over Law's head. Just as he was about to crush his skull, Luffy blocked with one foot.

"Why did you stop me? All I did was try to crush his head into little pieces!" Doflamingo's and Luffy's foot clashed again. But this time they clashed with their Conqueror's Haki.

Doflamingo kicked Luffy, sending him flying off from the palace but Trébol attached his mucus on him and stuck him to the floor.

"Damn it! Let go of me!"

"To think that I might have sat on the heart seat and joined these bastards is enough to make my insides churn."

"What did he say! Just die already! Sticky baton launcher!" Large droplets of mucus scattered over Law, holding him down on the ground.

Trébol was about to skewer Law when Law's detached arm flew up and sliced Trébol. "Sterben!"

Trébol's frail and hunchback form was now exposed. His mucus coat slid off his body and covered Law and Luffy.

"Law!" Sally shouted angrily.

"D…a..mn…Yo..u…Law…!" Trébol wheezed. The end of his staff had a naked flame.

"Damnit! He's planning on blowing us all up!"

"You're coming with me!"

Karin felt herself being picked up and thrown off the building. Luffy and Law jumped off and were falling before her. She fell into Sunflower Field, far below in front of the palace. Her back hit the ground first. She coughed.

A sword stopped at her neck, stopping her from getting up from the ground. From the corner of her eye, a bright pink fluff ball and a huge black ball flew past.

"Now isn't the time to get distracted." Karin focused on the blonde swordsman. "Pirate Prince" Cavendish looked down at her. Law was on the ground behind him, barely breathing.

"Pirate Prince. Trafalgar." She greeted them. She sat up, undeterred by Cavendish's sword. This time, his sword pointed at her face.

"Are you asking for a fight, Pirate Prince?" She was annoyed. It was so easy to kill Law and Cavendish. But her legs were burned and bruised from the fire and fall. She made a gun using her thumb and index finger and pointed at Cavendish. A string bullet almost hit him in between the eyes, but Cavendish blocked with his sword. The Dwarf Princess, Mansherry had escaped her cage. Law's arm had already been reattached.

Karin shot several more bullets at Cavendish. He deflected the bullets as he jumped back. Karin tried to stand up but fell down.

"Give up, Karin." Law said in a bored tone. "You can't fight without your legs to support you." He teleported soon after.

Karin hissed. The truth hurts. She couldn't fight at her current state, at least not after an hour. She had no choice but to watch Doflamingo get beaten around by some kid. How infuriating!

A purple cloud appeared near Karin. Sally reformed her body, but her dress was tattered. Her breaths were short, as though she had been fighting continuously. Her porcelain-like skin had multiple cracks.

"Mother!"

Sally collapsed onto the ground. More cracks were appearing.

"Where's Doffy? He's playing around for too long. My body can't endure anymore stress. I need him." Sally coughed out more blood.

Sally's body stiffened. "Doffy!"

She snapped her fingers. "Room!" The blue dome the size of the Bird Cage covered the island. "Space Jump." Sally and Karin teleported to Doflamingo's location.

The whole town turned into string as Doflamingo fought with Luffy.

Sally was slowing cracking into pieces. A fragment of the left side of her face had cracked and fallen off, revealing a dark abyss. More dark patches were appearing on her body.

"King Kong Gun!" Luffy dealt the final blow, defeating Doflamingo.

Sally's body shattered explosively into fragments. "No… Doffy… My body…" Her voice disappeared with the purple vapour from the glass-like fragments.

"Fuck!" Karin jumped towards where Doflamingo landed. Their defeat was…almost impossible. She was putting too much stress on her legs. She hissed in pain.

Doflamingo had fallen into the underground port. Karin landed next to him. His body wasn't moving! Was he dead? No, check first. She put a finger near his nose and her free hand on his neck. Slow heartbeat... He's unconscious, but at least not dead.

Karin heaved a sigh of relief. Her eyes focused onto his shattered sunglasses. The purple reflection was now red. Her mother wasn't in the sunglasses. So she has most likely dematerialised back into the demon world, if not in a different reflective surface.

Tears of joys from the survivors of the Bird Cage echoed throughout the island.

"Looks like we lost this time, hmm, Father?" Karin sat down beside him. "Damned Trafalgar."


A/N:

Omg, the Bird Cage is over. What a tediously long battle. Haiz, I made my OC lose all her Family members, including her Mother! How tragic. Karin is probably too tired to give a fuck anymore. Everyone is throwing or kicking each other around!
