Steve's POV

We started heading towards the castle, that stone giant had distorted all the floors so it was difficult to get by.

"Mingo!" Luffy yelled running passed.

"Wait!" Monet said grabbing him "Stop!"

"What is it?" I asked.

Monet's breathing seemed to slow, gradually the room got colder, frost gathered on the walls, and that was when I saw it, suspended around the room were lengths of razor wire.

"Had you kept running you'd have been sliced to pieces." Monet said.

She used her snow flurries to cover the wires so we could see.

"Could one of you please cut the wires?" she asked.

"Tempest Kick!"

I shot out a wave and broke all the razor wire, clearing the path forward. We walked a little farther before there was a shadow blocking the path.

"Who's there?" Law asked.

"Shadow's kinda small." I said.

It was hard to make the figure out from this distance with this lighting.

"Is it Lil?" Luffy asked.

"Why would she be over here?" I said.

"No." Monet hummed "It's Sugar, my little sister."

"Move Monet." The girl said "I just want to give them a pat on the back for getting this far, they worked very hard after all."

"Whatever happens you cannot let her touch you." Monet said getting defensive.

"It will drain my power but I can divide her into piece." Law said.

"No." Monet raised a hand "I can talk her down."

"Move Monet." The other girl growled stomping forward "Or you'll end up like all the others."

"You'd go so far as to forget me too." The green haired woman sighed "Anyone you turn into a toy is erased from all memories, even your own."

"Don't do something you'll regret kid." I spoke up.

"I am not a kid." Sugar growled "I'm a full-grown woman capable of making adult decisions! You know I'm 22 right, I just look like I did when I was 10 cause of that stupid fruit!"

"Sugar's Hobby-Hobby fruit stops ageing." Monet explained "Snow Bunnies!"

Monet raised her hand and shot off a flurry of snowball.

"HYA!" Sugar tapped each one and they all turned into stuffed rabbits.

"I can turn anything into a toy not just people!" the girl said slapping the ground "Yellow Brick Road!"

The floor popped up like toy bricks and flew at me.

"Snow Wall!" Monet held up her hand and blocked the attack.

"Toy gun!" we all jumped to the side and avoided a flurry of rubber pellets.

"Snow Sword!" Monet's arm shifted into a blade and she slashed around.

"You three go ahead." She said "I will handle this."

"We don't have time for this." Law said.

"Please!" Monet said looking over her shoulder "I must finish this."

"Come on we're going." I said.

"Have fun playing!" Luffy cheered "Don't get turned into a toy it'd be a bummer to forget you!"

"We're going up!" I said pulling my fist back and blasting the ceiling.

Luffy sprung himself up and I grabbed Law to fly the two of us to the top.

"You sure took your time." Doflamingo snickered "Before we start let me ask you something, why did you come here?"

Why did I come here?

"I came here to kick your ass!" Luffy yelled.

"Same." Law shrugged.

"Sure, that sounds good." I nodded.

"I'm disappointed." He sighed.

"Hmm?" Luffy looked over "Bellamy?"

"Ever the curious one." Doffy said "Aren't you two old foes from Mock Town? When did you get all chummy?"

"The past is the past." Luffy said "Let him go."

"Why? He came to me with a death wish." Doflamingo explained. "You see, this is how a deal with trash."

"Grr." Luffy gritted his teeth.

"Nothing stupid." I mumbled to him.

"You see, this is how things are when people fail me, it will be the same for Monet, only she'll get far worse for betraying me then again I always expected her to turn on me one of these day, she never trusted me since the day I pulled her out of that alley. Do you know what kind of life she used to have?"

I just glared at him.

"She was a prostitute." He said "a street urchin with nowhere to turn, throwing herself at the fire just to keep her precious little sister fed, and look, now she's trying with all her might to fight in a way that won't get Sugar hurt. She's soft for that girl."

"Shut up." Luffy glared.

"These two are prime examples." Doffy said "You can't change how someone is, you're who you are when you're born."

"That's a lie!" Luffy yelled "They have changed! Bellamy is different now."

"Just…kill me." The man wheezed.

Damn he's gotten messed up bad.

"Let him go!" Luffy yelled shooting his leg out.

"Wait!" Law yelled.

Doflamingo just lifted Bellamy up like a shield.

"GAH!" Luffy yelled "Sorry!"

"You can't give in to anger." Law said "That's what Doflamingo wants, if you fall into his trap you'll never escape. If you lose your head here you really will end up with no head got it. Doflamingo is cruel and fiendish, he's heartless."

"Behehehehe!" the man behind Doflamingo laughed "he kicked him in the face!"

Bit of a delayed reaction.

"Calling me cruel is something else." Doflamingo said "You're the one who destroyed my SAD factory, killed Virgo and kidnapped Caesar. You freed the toys on this island and what's next, the SMILE factory? And the cherry on top is that you think you can come here and take my head. I'm so sick of your crap, it's reminding me of 13 years ago."

"What happened back then is why I'm here now!" Law yelled.

"You had the chance at the 3rd Corazon in your lap and you threw it away!" Doffy growled "Black Knight!"

"Another String puppet!" I yelled.

Law blacked the doppelganger's attack with his sword while Luffy made a dash for the real one, again Doffy used Bellamy to block for him.

"Watch it he's under Doflamingo's control."

"Behehehehe! It's like playing with toys!" the other man laughed.

"Finger Pistol!"

I appeared before the man stabbing at him with my hands "Caught ya sleeping.

"Hmm?"

I jumped back.

I missed? No I know I hit him.

I pulled my leg back "Tempest Kick!"

I shot a wave out and sliced the man's side but somehow, I only hit his coat.

But I hit him for sure that time. there's more here than meets the eye. Is he really this big or is it something else?

I unwrapped my hand "I'll just burn you to cinders!"

I pointed my hand again "Hellfire Figner Pistol!"

"HYUP!" the man zipped around it.

He dodged with his whole body that time, why?

"Stop getting in the way!"

"He's gonna hit Law?" the man sniffed.

"Luffy what are you doing?!" I snapped as he charged at Law.

Right according to plan.

"Room!"

Law set up a dome and switched his position with Doflamingo's, allowing Luffy to drill Doffy with a punch.

"Red Hawk!"

"Doffy!"

"Got ya big guy!" I smiled "Demon Gaze!"

He looked deep into my eyes.

"What are you?!"

"You're worst nightmare." I hissed "No one can move a muscle under the eyes of a demon."

"Radio Knife!" Law spun in the air and cut the man into discs.

"You two are the worst." Law growled.

"You talking to us or them." I laughed looking at Luffy.
