Chapter 03

A Lie

It had been 3 hours since the Straw Hats arrived in Dressrosa. Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and Franky headed off decided to deciding to get something thing to eat before finding the Smiley Factory. Law, Robin and Usopp went to deal with the trading Caesar while Nami, Chopper and Brook stayed with the ship.

Zoro had ended up splitting from the group to chase a thief that had taken his sword. Sanji chasing him got distracted by a beautiful women dancing whose name was Violet. And Kinemon ended up losing both of them. Franky and Luffy walking around ran into a toy soldier in front of a Colosseum. Realizing the Ace's devil fruit, the flame flame fruit, was the price of the gladiator games Luffy decided to join with the name Lucy, while Franky took the Soldier to go find the Smiley Factory.

During the exchange for Caesar both Robin and Usopp by mini people of the Tontatta Tribe, and Law being betrayed had been force to fight both Doflamingo and Admiral Fujitora by himself.

Violet, actually being the daughter of the last king of Dressrosa, had been won over by Sanji's womanizing, which was odd but whatever, had decided to help the Straw hats with their plan to take down Doflamingo. Although Sanji had been forced to race to the ship to help Nami. Chopper and Brook to but most for Nami.

Sanji had ended up intercepting Doflamingo from attacking 'Sunny' and everyone on Sunny. Law helping Caesar back onto the ship, without his consent of course, had decided to keep the Navy and Doflamingo busy so the rest of the crew could get away. And now on with the story.

-Perona and Mihawk-

It has been four days since Perona had read the newspaper that had started both her and Mihawk's journey to the New World. She knows four days isn't long but she's anxious and the constant change of weather patterns didn't help. One minute it was raining the next it was as sunny as can be, of course it is the New World and anything can happen.

Mihawk didn't seem to be bothered by any of this. Although he also seemed to know where they were going. Perona looked at him suspiciously. . .

"Do you know where we're going?" She ask, truly curious.

"We are headed that way." He pointed in front of him. . . 'Does he think I'm an idiot?' Perona thought narrowing her eyes scrutinizing him.

'(sigh) Well it's not like I know where to look either. . .' She thought as she stared to prepare a late breakfast.

(Craw!)

'A bird?' She thought as she looked up to see Mihawk taking a Newspaper from the News Coo. Noticing he had no intention of paying the bird Perona sighed and payed for his paper. Usually she would have at least complained a little but she wasn't in the mood.

As soon he started to read the paper his eyes widen only slightly, but Perona saw and instantly became interested. Mihawk wasn't one to be shocked, except for the time when Zoro kneeled before him and practically begged for Mihawk to train him, but anyone would be shock if they saw that . . . she was told not to tell anyone or he'd cut her tongue out of her mouth with a stick!

Anyway as she hovered over Mihawk's head she saw what it was that she assumed shocked him.

"Doflamingo lied about leaving the Warlords?! How did he manage that?" Perona questioned as she took the paper right out Mihawk's hands trying to see if the answer was written in the paper. It wasn't.

She looked to Mihawk for an answer.

He wasn't paying any attention to her as he was looking at a detailed map with 'Dressrosa' written on the top in fancy lettering. It was the land Doflamingo was the king of, everyone with a brain knew that . . . well she could name a certain few Straw Hats that probably didn't, especially their captain. He reminded her of a hyperactive monkey . . . he was amusing to watch though, and he was strong.

"Are we headed to Dressrosa? Cause if we are I'd like to stay at least a night so we can rest in actual beds." Perona said, she was actually excited to visit, she heard it was a place with a lot of cute toys!

"Yes." He said as they sailed straight, towards Dressrosa.

They even had a straight shot there because they had skipped Fishmen Island and ended up being just across from Dressrosa so it would take them less than a day to get there and the weirdly strong wind actually helped.

As Perona unraveled the sail she couldn't help but think. 'Maybe we'll run into Zoro and the rest of the Straw Hats while we're there. That'd be lucky!'

-Dressrosa 2hours Later-

Luffy stood in front of a window inside the Colosseum as Zoro and Kinemon were in front of him outside of the Colosseum. They were talking to the rest of the crew on the transponding snails. One on Sunny with Sanji, Nami, Chopper and Brook. Another with Franky, Usopp, Robin and Soldier-san. The last with Zoro, Kinemon and Luffy.

(Kaboom!)

The next thing they knew the top of the buildings were being cut clean off, starting from farther away and getting closer.

(KABOOM!)

They saw something slam into the ground, destroying the street! And soon they realized it was someone not something. It was Law!

Law was lying on the street, he had severe wounds all over his body. He looked exhausted and as if he couldn't move much.

Not far behind him Doflamingo walked towards him. Law lying defenseless, could do nothing but watch as the Donquixote heir came closer. The closer he came the more anxious Luffy became. Although being in the Colosseum meant he couldn't leave, that doesn't mean he won't try.

Luffy grabbed the bars on the window as if he were to rip them open but instantly became weak! The bars were made of seastone.

Doflamingo stood above Law with a sinister smile on his face as he pulled a pistol from his feathered coat.

-Robin, Usopp, Franky and Soldier-san-

All they could hear was the yells of the concerned citizens of Dressrosa, of course their concern directed towards their King.

They heard the laughter of this King and then . . .

(Bang!)

"Tra-guy!" Luffy screamed. (Bang, Bang!)

All stood stunned . . . 'Was that a pistol?'

-Mihawk and Perona-

Perona was furling the sail and setting up a large umbrella because it had started to rain when she heard a loud crack. She look over to see Mihawk observing a chipped teacup. Not just any teacup though, it was Perona's favorite.

The cup itself was a grayish blue color with different sized black spots along the bottom and a yellow stripe along the top. It was cute!

"AH!"

Perona snatched the cup from Mihawk. "What did you do?!" she yelled at him holding it protectively. Mihawk simply shook his head indicating that it was not him that chipped the poor little teacup.

She actually believed him. She looked back down at her cup with a pout on her face. 'Why do I have such a bad feeling?' She thought.

"Hmm. . ." Mihawk sipped his wine as Perona sulked over her cup. They continued to sail towards Dressrosa unaware of the corrupted town that awaited them.

-Marineford with Hina-

Rear Admiral Hina was sitting at her desk as she looked through pictures. No, these weren't personal photos, they were work related. During the run in with Mihawk Hina had one of her marines take a Camera Snail and get evidence of the little flying dingy.

She had been looking through these pictures for an hour trying to find any contraption that would help a boat fly. But she couldn't see anything!

Hina threw the photos onto her desk and stood up to go for a walk. The minute she left her office she lit a cigarette and took a long drag, the tobacco calming her nerves. As she walked she zoned out and listened to the waves of the sea as she passed an open window. She was finally relaxed after a stress filled day, well she was.

"Did you see the flying ship today? Crazy, huh? I heard it was Mihawk who was on it!"

"Really?! I heard that Admiral Issho was the one who told Rear Admiral to let him pass."

"Phew! Thank goodness. We definitely didn't stand a chance against a Warlord. I don't think the Rear Admiral is even in the same league as Mihawk."

Eye twitching, Hina was beyond pissed now! In the hallway around the corner she was hearing marines gossiping! She was about to yell at them about being cowards and how they were getting extra duties for four months, but what they said the next was what made her freeze.

"Did you see the red umbrella behind him?" Said one of the marines.

"Yeah. You think it was his?" Another marine asked. "I have no idea but did you notice the boat?! It was almost like it was dodging the cannons!"

"Now that you ment—"Hina had stopped listening at this point. 'A red umbrella?' Her eyes widened as she relized. Turning around, Hina all but ran back to her office. 'How could I miss it?!'

Hina slammed her door open going straight for photos. Grabbing a magnifying glass and one of the picture. Seeing the red umbrella she paused, 'That is definitely not his.'

As she looked closer, now she can see it! A body. A girl's body at that! 'If only I could see her face. . .'

Her face was covered but she noticed the pink hair. . .

'Who the hell is this?!'
