Chapter 209: Arc 14: Dragon Empress Vs. Celestial Dragon! Sasha's Declaration of War!


"Can't say I didn't warn him." Sasha muttered, Fujitora bringing down another meteorite. "Lunar Jewel Asterism!" she encased the falling meteor in a solid ice cube, several ice tifaret gems surrounded the frozen rock, each jewel shooting a concentrated ice beam into the meteor and slicing it into pieces.

"Room!" Law activated his ability, cutting the pieces of rock falling towards him and Sasha into smaller pieces.

"Only a Warlord could do that." Fujitora praised.

"Damn you, Fujitora." Doflamingo cursed. "He's mine to kill. Bullet String!" he fired a single shot of string at Law.

One of the ice tifaret gems hovered before its creator, freezing the bullet with an ice beam, the other ice jewels had quickly surrounded their mistress.

"You wanna play tag, Law?" Doflamingo chuckled, chasing after Law who had grabbed Sasha and fled into the forest.

"Let's chase them." Fujitora led his soldiers into the forest.

In Flight Mode, Sasha took to the air, following Law as the older surgeon tried to escape on the ground.

I know what you are doing, Law. Doflamingo grinned, focused solely on the younger pirate. You're trying to buy some time, aren't you?

"White Ripple!" Sasha's ice wave from the 'Trident of Amakoi' blasted off the falling vines, giving Law the opening he needed to run. "You do realize we're only delaying for time by running, right?" she landed beside Law.

"I'm not gonna let you have it your way." Doflamingo finally cornered the duo, with Fujitora sitting on one of the frozen sliced stalks.

"Well, being cornered by a Warlord and a Navy Admiral." Sasha mused. "Kinda of reminds me of Alabasta. Hey, Fujitora," she turned to the Admiral. "About Vice-Admiral Garp, he didn't happen to adopt a cat and name it 'Grandchildren', did he?"

"And how did you know, Thalassa Sasha?" Fujitora inquired.

"Fricking guilt-tripping grandfather..." Sasha muttered as a response.


"Why are you trying to run, Law?" Doflamingo asked, renewing the chase. "I'm sure he's up to something."

"What is she doing?" Law hissed, the Den Den Mushi he had continued ringing as he and Sasha dodged Fujitora's aerial assault. "Pick up already!"

"Dragon Force, release!" Sasha powered up, just as Fujitora sent down yet another meteorite. "White Moon!" she retaliated with an even more powerful ice pillar than before, scattering the falling meteor into ice dust before it impacted.

"You have no mercy." Doflamingo mocked.

"I'm all thumbs, so..." Fujitora fended.

"Why is she not picking up, Nami-ya?" Law growled at the unresponsive Den Den Mushi. "I know I'm not calling the wrong number.

"Ice Dragon Bullet!" Sasha sent an overpowered coiling ice dragon upwards, smashing the falling meteor Fujitora sent at them into pieces. "Law, please tell me you have a contingency plan; the original plan was shot to hell, right?"

"I know!" Law spat. "This way!" he pulled Sasha off, the duo ducking into a nearby vine tunnel to avoid getting hit by Fujitora's debris barrage, only to skid to a sudden stop when Doflamingo appeared before him at the clearing.

With Sasha stalling Doflamingo with a 'Thousand Flying Ice Needles of Death' array, Law pulled her off into a different direction.

Blocked off by the falling vines Doflamingo had cut using his strings, Sasha was about to swap out her armor when Law stopped her, "Thalassa-ya, wait. Don't waste your strength here."

"Hey, Joker!" Caesar came running in. "Before you kill them, I need you to get something back for me. It's my heart. Law took my heart. I don't know what he's gonna do with it."

"Room!" Law took the opening. "Shambles!" he exchanged Sasha and himself with a cut vine each and the pair took off running.

"That bastard..." Doflamingo growled.

"Is that Tony-ya?" Law asked, once the Thousand Sunny's Den Den Mushi was picked up. "I don't care what's going on over there. Listen carefully. Listen, I need you to sail the ship to Green Bit now. I wanna leave Caesar with you guys. I've no time to fill you in. come to Green Bit now."

"Bullet String!" Doflamingo fired his bullet as he closed in.

"Cryoblast!" Sasha's ice ball whizzed past the Warlord's head, forcing him to dodge before his attack formed.

"It's no use." Doflamingo taunted, landing before the pair, a giant vine was blocking any escape route. "Who did you just call for help? Give me back Caesar's heart already. It's so meaningless for you to keep hanging on here. Your partner, Straw Hat, has already walked into the trap that I've set up. He's now fighting in the gladiatorial contest at the Colosseum. Tough contenders from all over the world come to fight in that outlaws-only, deadly competition. When someone loses, it's a one-way ticket to hell. He will never come out alive from the Colosseum."

"Why are all you Celestial Dragons the same?" Sasha sighed. "If you think aniki is going to just die so easily, then you don't know what he, Ace, Sabo-nii and I have gone through as children." her eyes hardened as she ignited her Divine Haki. "Our crew took down the entire CP-9 just to get Robin back. I leveled the entire Enies Lobby and the Buster Call warships. Do not test me, Don Quixote Doflamingo. Do not think I've forgotten... more than 800 years ago, it was your family that instigated the the downfall of the Great Kingdom." she glared hatefully at the sole Don Quixote family member. "And all because your puny little male egos couldn't stand the fact that you were ruled by a woman! And now... everything will come full circle, beginning with you."

"You..." Doflamingo was taken aback by the powerful explosion of Haki, one that, he reluctantly admitted, was even stronger than his Conqueror's Haki. "It can't be..." he realized Sasha's real identity.

Thalassa-ya... Law stood in awe as he witnessed Queen Selena's power firsthand. It's even stronger than what I felt at Sabaody Archipelago two years ago. Is this... the Ocean Empress' true power?
