Rose's POV
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!" I screamed as the giant stone monster moved.
"It's Pica!' Viola yelled "He's a Rock Assimilation Human and he's one of the Executives!"
A big shot…
Pica reached out and touched the walls and the giant lost all movement.
"I see." I hummed "He's not made of stone; he can move through it and control it."
"So he can assimilate anything he touches." Zoro said "And since the palace is made of stone, he controls this whole place!"
The walls morphed and then slammed in on us like spikes.
Crap!
We all ran away but the Stone man was closing off the exits.
"36 Caliber Phoenix!"
Zoro blasted the wall down "Go I can handle this."
"No stealing all the fun now."
I changed my arms weapon; a piston came out and a large bit spun out on the tip.
"Jackhammer!"
"I can take a stone man too you know." I smiled "Even if he's a giant, I think I might be sick."
"Focus!" Zoro yelled.
Steve's POV
"We'll leave it to you." I said running off.
Luffy and I took Viola and ran off. My attention was distracted as me ran, a locket was bouncing on my chest. I opened it, it was a picture of me, my adopted daughter Lil and a strange woman.
Who is this…and why is she in this photo?
Monet's POV
"There are a lot of toys walking out." Usopp observed.
"Sugar is defiantly up there…" I hummed.
I'm so close…
"What are all those weird tentacles?" the long nose asked.
"The one in the center is the Executive lift." Leo explained "The other ones are tubes for humans and broken toys to fall down. There are entrances to the scrap heap all over Dressrosa, anyone who's thrown town the pipes ends up there."
"People who fall down are sent to my sister to be turned into toys, she then makes an unbreakable contract which forces them to obey her and the family and never rebel against the human slavers."
Robin crossed her hands and observed what was behind the wall.
"There is a large man and a young girl."
"That's them." I said.
"That girl makes you forget about people what a brat." Usopp said.
"That's my sister." I glared.
"Sugar loves grapes more than anything." Leo said.
"They are her favorite." I smiled.
"That's our strategy." Leo said holding up a ball "it's a sphere of Tatababasco, the hottest spice in the world disguised as a grape."
"You intend to have Sugar eat that?" I asked.
"Yes, we're gonna put it in her basket, it'll burn her mouth so much she'll pass out and the toys will be free."
"Give it to me." I said "I will get it in the basket."
Leo looked apprehensive.
"Please trust me." I said.
He nodded and handed it to me.
"Wish me luck." I said standing up.
"Good Luck!" they all cheered.
"Don't be so loud!" Longnose cried.
I walked through the door and into the room.
"Sugar." I called.
The little girl turned and smiled "Big Sis!"
This is my chance.
"You're home." She said hugging me.
He didn't tell her what I did…
"I missed you." I smiled.
"You've been gone so long, I was getting worried." She smiled.
"Here I bought you a treat." I smiled holding up the spice ball "You like candy right?"
I felt the air shift and there was an explosion behind me.
"Nice try~"
"Trebol." I gulped looking over my shoulder.
"Hey what are you doing!" Sugar yelled "It's Monet you're shooting at!"
"You shouldn't take candy from strangers." Trebol told her "Hey, Hey Sugar I have something to tell you!"
Trebol can hit a fly between the eyes, yet he missed me intentionally to toy with me…He knows!
I pulled my arm back "Angel Snow…"
"Not a chance!" Trebol's shot his gunk at me and pinned my hand.
"GAH!" I yelled.
"Stop it!" Sugar yelled.
"You know what she did?!" Trebol yelled "Do ya, do ya?!"
"Grr." I tried to fight free.
"She stabbed Doffy in the back, she's a traitor."
"Monet…" Sugar looked at me upset "Is this…"
I didn't look at her.
"You did…" Sugar looked shocked "You…betrayed us."
"I never trusted them from the start." I told her "You know that! I can't do this anymore Sugar! I can't be a bad person! We can leave, start over."
"But I don't want to start over." She said "I like my life."
"No."
"I won't, let you ruin this for me Monet." She came closer.
She raised her hand.
"Sugar stop! You don't have to do this." I said still trying to free my hand.
"I love you Big Sis."
"Behehehehe!" Trebol laughed "Do it! Do it!"
"Sugar Please!" I cried "You can't!
"Tail Hammer!"
I looked behind the girl and Leo jumped up and slammed her down with his tail.
The other Tontattas ran up and pulled me out of Trebol's goo.
"Thank you." I panted.
"Monetland is our friend." He said "And she was in trouble! She's not like you! She really does want to save this country!"
Leo…
"Sometimes things don't go as planned." Robin said pulling me free.
"Immobilize her and force her mouth open!" Leo yelled.
"You're underestimating me." Sugar smiled.
The Tontattas charged forward and Sugar lifted her hands.
"HYA!" she thrusted her hands multiple time "Little Black Bears!"
Suddenly a dozen toy bears dropped to the floor.
"You are to obey me till the day you die." Sugar told the bears as they stood up "Now kill everyone inside the tower!"
"Snow Rabbits!"
I raised my hands and blasted the enemies back.
"That won't stop me!"
Trebol slammed his gooey arm down and I jumped out of the way. His goo shot all the way outside and picked up a boat.
He's gonna…
"Igloo!"
I raised a dome and blocked the crashing debris. I was only able to catch a few people in the defensive technique, Myself, Usopp and Robin.
"That was close." Usopp rocked in the fetal position "We almost died!"
The dwarves.
I lowered the down and Trebol and Sugar were dealing with the Tontattas.
"So, who's helping you? Ehh tell me, Tell me!" Trebol whined "He's a buddy of mine."
"Oh, you mean Usoland?"
"Got you he's not my buddy."
"How did Monet get involved?" Sugar asked.
"She came to us and asked to help." Leo said "She wanted to make up for the bad things she had done…she wanted to help you."
"I'm getting the whole picture." Trebol nodded "Did you know that sticky thing is combustible?"
He threw his lighter at the pyre and it exploded in a flaming tower. Tontattas were scattered all over the port by the blast.
"Leo!" Usopp ran over and picked up the dwarf "Let's run away."
"No…" Leo shook his head "We have to complete are part of the plan…Captain is waiting."
"I am not ready to run yet myself." I said standing up "I will fight them, and help the Toy Soldier. He's the only one, who can help these crying souls. The strongest Gladiator in the world, Kyros."
"Snow Angel Wings!" Two large angelic wings erupted from my back "Enough waiting."
I flew forward and made my teeth sharp "TREBOL!"
"EHH?"
"RAH!" I bit his shoulder.
"AHHH!"
"Cold Embrace…" I began to cover him in a layer of hard snow "Sleep now…"
"Get…Off me!" he yelled breaking free "Sticky Launcher!"
He let off a flurry of goo balls.
"Snow Rabbits!" Our attacks canceled each other out.
When I saw Lil, I knew what I wanted to do, I couldn't sit by anymore, even if they've clouded Sugar's mind, I won't accept that. I will break away from Doflamingo and follow my heart!
If a little girl will fight, then so can I!
You know…Mr. Steve is very handsome…and I wonder if Lil is looking for a mother figure…Jeez I'm in battle I need to focus.
"Angel Snow!"
I raised my hands and knocked Trebol into the air with a block of packed snow.
"Usopp and I are the only ones who can fight." I said gathering more snow "So I won't quit!"
"White Out!"
"Sticky Ball1"
I got drilled in the chest with a glob of goo, pinning my arms down.
"I bet even your Logia body of Snow won't withstand and explosion like this!" Trebol said Igniting his cane.
"NO!"
*BOOM!*
"AHHHAAAA!" I screamed as I was shot across the port, only to be grabbed by a sticky chain and slammed back into the ground.
I can't…even move
"Doffy will be so happy, I caught the traitor." Trebol laughed.
"Uso…land…"
"It's that name." Sugar said looking at the dwarves "They were calling it earlier."
She then looked at me
"I'm disappointed in you." I mumbled.
"The feeling is mutual." Sugar said "We have everything we ever wanted, I won't go back to how things used to be."
"Sugar."
"You tried to keep it a secret." She frowned "You think I didn't know my big sister was a prostitute."
"You knew…"
"Of course, stupid, work at the library, what a joke." She frowned "You wouldn't have been able to afford dinner. You always fed me and starved yourself."
She suddenly had a fiery look in her eyes.
"I won't go back to that!" she cried "I don't want to see you like that ever again! So if I have to hide things from a country, if I have to make people forget, than that's what I'll do to protect you, you always looked out for me, so now I'm going to look out for you. I don't want this Monet, this isn't the life we wanted but it's the one we have! I can't let you destroy all the sacrifices we both made to come this far!"
"Hmm." I hummed "Sometimes I forget you're not a little girl, you're a grown woman, I love you Sugar."
"I love you too Monet." She said "Which is why I won't stop working towards a way for us to be happy."
"Very well." I sighed "I will work to show you that this isn't the way to achieve our dream."
The Tontattas were still calling for Usopp.
The only hope…is a man who screams at the drop of rain…
"I told ya, that guy abandoned you and ran away." Trebol said.
"Shut up!" Leo yelled "Usoland is not a liar! He said he would save the day! He promised! A Hero would never deceive us! Stop insulting him or I won't forgive you! You should prepare for when Usoland arrives!"
"Boring." Trebol shot off an explosive ball.
"PIGYA!"
"So that's a Tontatta death scream." Trebol laughed.
He started taking out more of the dwarves, but they never stopped calling for their hero.
"Just Stop It!" Usopp yelled.
Usopp…
"Why do you keep trusting me! Why are you so stupid?! It's just like they said, I'm not some hero! My name's not even Usoland, it's Usopp and I'm a pirate!" he yelled at the dwarves.
"You may be a pirate, but you're still a hero right?" Leo sobbed.
"I'm just a pirate!" Longnose yelled "Don't you get it, I lied to you! Why do you keep believing?"
"You ran all the way here to tell them you lied Behehehehe!" Trebol laughed "Stupid!"
"If I hadn't come back, they'd have died waiting." He said taking out his slingshot "Even after that they trusted me! So I'd rather risk my life, because that's way cooler!"
"I'm Usopp and if I die, build a statue in my honor!" he said pulling back the straps "Cause I'm gonna be a hero!"
"How desperate!" Trebol laughed.
"Special Attack: Green Star: Plant Shuriken!"
The razor sharp stars shot forward and sliced Trebol to pieces.
Incredible!
Lil's POV
"Uhh…" I groaned "Ouchy…"
I was exhausted, I couldn't call more animals out, Franky was beaten and battered…I was out of option.
I'm sorry Papa…It's…up to Usopp…
Steve's POV
"The enemy is coming from the first floor." Viola warned "It's Gladius and his men."
"This is bad." I whispered "If we get boxed in, perhaps we need to do the surprise attack now!"
"Usoland and the others might not make it…" the soldier sighed "By the way you are all pirates, Usoland, Fraland and Lilland too."
"Is that a problem?" Luffy asked.
"I'm infamous too." The soldier said "As long as we have a mutual goal, I'm fine with whatever you are."
Monet's POV
The brief display of strength was nice, but Usopp stood no chance against someone like Trebol, and he was defeated in mere seconds.
We've lost…
Usopp was tied up in Trebol's mucus.
"Nice effort" Sugar said walking by me "But I win."
She walked up to the beaten Usopp "You can have this back."
She shoved the poison grape in his mouth.
"Goodbye." She sighed.
*Gulp…*
"BAAAAAHH!"
Holy Hell!
Usopps face got all twisted and gnarly.
"WAHHHHHH!" Sugar screamed in terror and grabbed her chest "URCK!"
She started foaming at the mouth and passed out.
She…was scared half to death!
"SUGAR!"
In that single moment, everything began to change.
