Inside of the colosseum, the fighters watched as Luffy fought against the opponents within the ring before he was the only one left standing.
"His match is finishing up. Looks like we better get ready to move." Natsu said.
"Right. I gotta say it was pretty easy getting inside the coliseum." Adora said.
"Because we came in as spectators so we wouldn't have to fight each other for the prize." Eijiro said.
"It's for the best." Jesse said. "I mean, who would want to suffer the kind of penalty this place had for losing?"
"Yeah. Either way...we'll need to head to the lobby now. Schemes are about to take place." Regal said as they headed inside as multiple pirates were chasing down Luffy.
"Wow...right on time too." Kaminari said.
They quickly began fighting them before standing there was a man in white with long blond hair.
"I see...so Straw Hat Luffy's allies were in here as well." he said drawing his sword.
"Well, look who's shown his face." Adora said. "The White Knight, Cavendish." she said before she was almost pierced. "Whoa! What the?"
"Little harlot...you and them will pay. Give me back my popularity!" he said coming at them with various thrusts.
"Oh right, I almost forgot how vain he was at first." Jesse said.
"Barrier!" a voice called out as stepping out was a familiar man with green hair. "I won't let you touch the amazing fighters that are the Hero Alliance."
"Right. He was here too. And thank goodness for that." Dan said as they quickly struck back against Cavendish and sent him tumbling to the ground.
"How dare you! I'm going to…" Cavendish said.
"Ahem...you know C block is over. Shouldn't you be joining the D Block before you get disqualified?" Indigo asked.
"Yes but….Urgh! This is not over." Cavendish said as he ran off.
"These people are...Oh I can't even bear to look at their amazingness right now!" Bartolomeo said as he ran off.
"I gotta say, seeing Bartolomeo's fanboy side is a little unusual the first time around." Adora said.
"Yeah, he's really not as vocal about it in the present, is he?" SE added.
"Actually, he is. Just not with you." Jesse said.
"Yeah. He only considers us, Hope's group and David's as fan worthy. Other groups...eh...don't have his respect." Kaminari said. "And this is really not the time to discuss this!" he said fighting against some more incoming pirates.
"Kaminari's right, guys! Focus!" Adora said having transformed and pushing back against the pirates herself.
"We are focused! We should be saying that to you!" Bakugo said attacking some more pirates before something zoomed past them.
"Sorry...but you all and Straw Hat have to die." said a blond haired man with spring like limbs.
"Bellamy." Natsu said as Bellamy was bouncing around the room.
"I won't let you get out of…" he shouted before one solid punch sent him to the ground. "Damn it…"
"Yeah...two whole years and you still go down with one hit." Natsu said.
"Yes...which is why he and all of you are going to face death together." a voice said as a tall man in flashy clothing stepped out.
"Diamante!" Bellamy said.
"I would've expected you to take care of this quickly, Bellamy. But it looks like a failure like you can't get the job done." Diamante said, drawing his sword. "So allow me to put an end to you."
"Sorry but you'll have to get past me first." Adora said.
"Poor choice of words." Diamante said as his sword became light and wavy as it moved past her and nearly struck Bellamy.
"His sword contorted? He must have a devil fruit power!" Adora said parrying it.
"I ate the Ripple-Ripple Fruit, I can make anything I touch into a flag that moves in the wind." Diamante said.
Adora parried Diamante's whip like slashes as she continued to defend.
"Lock." Diamante said as his sword locked into a bull shape. "Corrida...Glaive!" he said striking her dead on, causing massive damage.
"Ugh…" Adora said kneeling on the ground.
"And the victor...go the spoils." he said, taking her sword. "Have fun. Not like any of you can leave anyway. I can just take care of this later." he said walking off.
Adora reverted to normal. "Man… that guy's strong. What was I thinking? Right...I wasn't. I was acting like an idiot again." she growled. "When we get out...I'm getting my sword back from him."
"You can't get out." Bellamy said.
"What do you mean we can't get out?" Luffy asked.
"This whole colosseum...things are set so only those affiliated with Doflamingo can come and go. The spectators are free but...since you just revealed yourselves…" Bellamy said.
"Aren't you with their crew too?" Eijiro asked.
"I can lead you out but...my allegiance is with Doflamingo, not you." Bellamy said.
"Don't worry you guys! I'll win the Flame-Flame Fruit in your place!" Bartolomeo said. "Then give it to you after I win."
"Wow...that's kind of you." Jesse said.
"Sorry...but he won't win it. I will be getting it...Straw Hat Luffy and crew." a voice said as a man in black and blue stepped in.
"I'm Lucy! See the beard?" Luffy said.
"You think such a disguise would stop me from recognizing my little brother?" the man asked.
"Little brother? There are only two people allowed to call me little brother. Ace, may he rest in peace, and another friend who…" Luffy said before seeing the man's face. "...died. HUH?! SABO?!" he said stumbling backwards in shock.
"Years ago, you, me and Ace, the three of us...pledged allegiance to one another." Sabo said.
"Sabo!" Luffy cried as he hugged onto Sabo's head. "What are you doing over here? I was sure you were dead!"
"Thank you for living, Luffy." Sabo said. "I'm happy you're alive." he said as Luffy let go and fell to the floor. "Luffy, would you let me eat the Flame-Flame Fruit?"
"Sure! Good idea! It's the only way!" Luffy said.
"Should we follow Luffy out the…" Adora groaned.
"No. We should probably stay close. Besides...I get the feeling a whole lot is about to unfold here." Eijiro said.
