"Fucking flamingo!" Katya cursed angrily as she raced with a crowd of people holding swords and chasing her. "I'm going to set him on fire!"
Purupurupurupuru! Katya's Den Den Mushi began to ring and she pulled it out.
"I'M A BIT BUSY!" She shouted.
"Katya!" Zoro's voice came out of the call. "Robin!"
"Zoro?" Robin said in surprise.
"I'm with Luffy and the others. We're on what they call the King's Plateau. Things are getting messy."
"Is that Katya and Robin?" Luffy's voice said. "Did you see it? Mingo's a jerk, isn't he? But Usopp's bit was hilarious."
"NONE OF THIS IS HILARIOUS RIGHT NOW, LUFFY!" Katya roared angrily into the phone. "I'M BEING CHASED BY TONS OF FUCKING BERI GRABBERS!"
Luffy just laughed and Katya lost what he was saying for a few moments as she dodged a few gunshots.
"LUFFY, WHERE IS THIS PLATEAU?!" Katya shouted. "AND WHERE IS LAW?!"
"Oh, Tra-guy's here." Luffy said casually. "He's tied to a chair."
"Law!" She called out happily. "I did it! The factory looks undamaged, but the SAD tanks are burning. I destroyed the SMILE fruits too and took down the manager."
"K-Katya-ya." Law's voice came out. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm a bit bashed up but I'm okay. WAIT! I'm more worried about y- oh fuck."
She hung up the line as more people fired at her and she had to dodge. Even the factory was better than this. She turned a corner and headed back towards the domed building.
"I HATE THIS GAME!"
"What is that?!"
"A balloon is falling from the sky!"
Katya looked up to see Luffy with Zoro and Law crash land onto the cobbles by the factory.
"LAW! LUFFY!" She shouted and raced towards them, before realising that they were being chased too, and she turned around and began running with them.
"Oi! Katya!" Luffy waved with Law over his shoulder.
"Law!" Katya ran to the pair and ran alongside them.
"Katya..." Law breathed.
"I wish I could beat both of you up right now for scaring me!" Katya growled. "But I'm glad you're here." She grinned at Law and kissed the top of his head.
"Come back here!" People shouted behind them. Katya tripped on a cobblestone and fell forward slightly. She put a hand on Law to steady herself, and threw her knife at the closest one. It hit and Katya smirked as the man went down clutching his shoulder.
And that was when a Marine Admiral appeared in front of them.
Katya was running low on energy. Her Haki was beginning to run out and she was exhausted. The huge form of a stone man appearing was just the last straw.
"Pica!" Law gaped as Luffy dropped him to the floor. Katya rushed to his side as some of the Marines and citizens fled.
"Don't touch the chains." Law said.
"Kairoseki?"
"Yes." He looked away for a moment. "Katya-ya...I'm sorry."
"Sorry?"
"I never should have brought you to this terrible place."
"I made my choice, Law." Katya took his tattooed hand in hers and the two looked up together at Pica's looming figure. If they died, they'd go out fighting.
"Now, those who rebel against our family, I'm gonna fight you!" Pica shouted. But it was so high pitched that Katya burst out laughing.
"You're kidding!"
Luffy was laughing so hard tears were coming out of his eyes as he and Katya couldn't help but laugh. Pica raised his fist in the air and Katya paused for a moment.
"Oops."
Luffy grabbed her and put Katya over his shoulder as they began to run away. It wasn't going to be enough, Katya thought with panic. They were beginning to make some headway when Law's chains got caught and the trio were sent hurtling back.
Zoro watched in horror as Pica's fist slammed into the ground and Law, Luffy and Katya were lost in a cloud of dust.
