Chapter 210: Arc 14: The Truth of the Celestial Dragons Revealed!
"You said 'it's more complicated' earlier." Law reminded Doflamingo. "What do you mean by that?
"If you wanna chat with me, hand over Caesar first." Doflamingo bargained. "And his heart.
"Caesar is..." Law started. "I mean, those SMILEs are that important to you? I guess they are." he smirked. "Without the SMILEs, Kaido's gonna kill you and it's all over for you."
"Law, silence." still in Queen Selena mode, Sasha cast a withering glare at the older 'D'. "You can come on out, Fujitora; I know you've heard what had transpired."
"Fujitora?" Doflamingo echoed, the said Admiral drawing his blade and poised it in front of Sasha.
"Excuse me." Fujitora voiced. "I have to stop you right here, Heavenly Demon. If what Thalassa Sasha said is true, then I cannot allow you to lay a finger on the White Empress."
"Alright." Doflamingo relented. "But I need Caesar's heart back, Law." extending a string, he retrieved Caesar's heart. "By the way, you seem quite curious about that 'complicated' that I mentioned. Do you wanna hear it?"
"Over 800 years ago," Sasha started. "After totally destroying the 'Great Kingdom, the 20 Kings from 20 countries came together at the center of the world and formed one giant organization: the current World Government. The Kings who created it decided to move to the Holy Land, Mariejois and live there with their families. The Nefeltari Family of Alabasta refused, seeing that they were only coerced to rebel when the other 19 Kings took the crown prince and the Head Councilors' children hostage. So there left only 19 families. The descendants of these Queenslayers who still reside in Mariejois and reign over the world are the Celestial Dragons; each of them had avowed to sweep the truth of the Void Century under the rug and pretend it never happened, all just to hold onto their power. In the countries where the original royalty moved to Mariejois, new royal families were elected to replace them; and in the case of Dressrosa, it was the Riku Family who replaced the Don Quixote Family."
"What is 'bloodline'?" Doflamingo mocked. "What is 'destiny'? I don't think there are that many people who who've led a checked life as mine. I've got to do something about the Straw Hats in Dressrosa. I know there are quite a few people who underestimated them and got hurt. What's the matter, Fujitora?" he asked when the Admiral looked up at the sky.
"Well, I heard a clap of thunder from the direction of the sea." Fujitora replied. "How does the sky look? I may be blind, but I always thought I could tell the weather. Maybe I'm getting old."
"Thunder?" Doflamingo echoed.
I believe Nami-ya can manipulate the weather. Law recalled. The ship is here.
"Hey Joker!" Caesar burst out from the bushes. "If you've got it back, give it to me already. My heart!"
"I never said that was Caesar's heart." Law retorted.
"You've been lording that over me all along!" Caesar snapped.
"I heard my man screaming." Fujitora remarked, when a painful scream escaped from one of the Navy soldier's mouth. "What are you doing, Heavenly Demon?"
"Room!" taking the distraction, Law activated his ability. "Shambles!" he grabbed Sasha and Caesar and made his getaway.
"You still have that much energy, Law?" Doflamingo quickly caught up. "Don't give me trouble, you squirt. You know there's no place to run."
Come after me, Doflamingo. Law had lured the former Celestial Dragon to the beach. If he comes for the ship, it's all over for us. I'm gonna draw him to the bridge and get Caesar on board the ship and fight Doflamingo on the bridge so I can buy enough time for the ship to get away.
"What?" Doflamingo looked up. "Is he gonna cross the bridge? I don't get it. Why does he want to get to Dressrosa? It's more favorable to me."
"No!" Law cursed, hearing the unison screams from the crew on the Thousand Sunny. "Those idiots!"
"I get it." Doflamingo grinned.
"Wait, Doflamingo!" Law barked as Doflamingo proceeded to head for the ship. "They have nothing to do with this!"
"It's over, Law!" Doflamingo closed in on his new target. "Watch this, Law. I'll viciously slay your allies right before your eyes."
"Really." Sasha sighed. "Have all of you forgotten that the ocean is my domain? Glacier Wall!" stabbing the 'Spear of Amakoi' into the seawater, she rapidly froze the ocean surface, the ice spike trail then ran towards the floating Doflamingo before erupting upwards, forming a solid ice wall between the Warlord and the ship.
"Hey!" Sanji came in, using 'Sky Walk'. "My friends are crying out in fear. Leave them alone!" he slammed a flaming foot into Doflamingo's leg."
"Here comes quite a tough one." Doflamingo grinned at his new opponent.
SailorStar9: Any OOC-nes is regretted. *Sighs* Don't you just hate plot bunnies sometimes? Reviews are much appreciated.
