Chapter 225: Arc 14: The Ultimate Power! The Secret of the Op-Op Fruit!
"You guys have no idea..." Doflamingo continued to drone. "Can you imagine what people would do to a fallen Celestial Dragon? People are all cruel."
"He..." Sasha gave Law a look. "Has absolutely no idea what the masses go through just to gather the Heavenly Tribute, does he? Celestial Dragons, ignorant, amoral bastards, the lot of them..."
"There's something not quite clear to me." Law voiced. "You're a former Celestial Dragon, expelled from Mariejois. Why do you still have power? CP-0 works directly under the command of the World Government, but you brought them into action this morning."
"Do you wish to know that?" Doflamingo questioned. "It's because I know about the important national treasure that they have inside the Holy Land of Mariejois."
"The national treasure in Mariejois?" Law echoed.
"Yes, it's something that would shake the world by its very existence." Doflamingo confirmed. "To them, I am an escapee who has the most dangerous card to play. They tried to kill me, but I didn't die, so the Celestial Dragons became very cooperative. Plus, if I could have had your Op Op Fruit power in my hands that day, I would have taken the helm of the world, utilizing the national treasure of Mariejois. Your power has such a value; as well as the 'Personality Transplant Surgery', there's another usage. Do you know about it? If a wise man utilizes the Op Op Fruit, even the dream people have had since the ancient times could comet true. That's why quite a lot of people call it the ultimate Devil Fruit."
"Yeah, I know." Law admitted. "Even though I have no interest in it. The greatest power of this fruit is to grant another person eternal life via the 'Perpetual Youth Surgery'. But once it is performed, the surgeon himself dies."
"So that's why, two years ago..." Sasha realized.
"Yeah, I personally requested for you to seal off that ability." Law stated.
"Sealed off..." Doflamingo twitched and charged forward to attack his former subordinate. "Diamante's swordplay." he forced Law on the defensive. "Lao G's martial art." both adversaries met with Armament Haki-imbued limbs.
"Room!" Law activated his sphere. "Injection Shot!"
"Gladius' gunnery." Doflamingo continued, dodging the sword. "You got all your fighting skills from us." he side-stepped Law.
"Yeah!" Law agreed, closing in. "And I'm still here thanks to Cora-san! I'm grateful." he clashed against Doflamingo's Armament Haki-imbued feather coat. "Because I can take you down with this power."
"Now," Sasha turned to the dismembered Trebol. "I'm still torn between slowly torturing you or just putting an end to this pointless fight. Should've asked Law how long the effects last. It matters neither way." she shrugged. "Ex-quip: Hydromancer Bloodmage Robe! Prepare yourself. There is a reason why the Navy tagged 'Thalassa' as my moniker; I control water, right to the very last drop." forming a translucent water sphere in her hand, she pressed it on one of Trebol's dismembered parts, draining the mucus from the Stick Stick Fruit user. "'Dried Stickman', is what I name this." she remarked. "An apt name, I'll admit. So, this is your true body." she mused, seeing Trebol's bony figure emerge from the mucus he had hidden himself with. "Ankle shackles." she turned to the iron shackles around Trebol's ankles. "A former slave?" she surmised.
"No, please..." Trebol pleaded, Sasha was ready to end him with the 'Seaslayer' curved blade.
"The Tontattas pleaded for mercy; none of you gave them any." Sasha retaliated and brought her sword down, decapitating Trebol's head.
SailorStar9: Any OOC-nes is regretted. *Sighs* Don't you just hate plot bunnies sometimes? Reviews are much appreciated.
