"Hurry up and run." Chopper shouted, leading the group.

"Why are we running?" Mocha wanted to know. "The Navy isn't supposed to be nice?"

" For us, they are our enemies. " Nami retorted.

"Damn it! Who was the guy in the cap that was with them?" Grey wanted to know. "What power can he possibly have?"

"That guy cut me." Kin'emon suddenly assured him.

"Huh?" Grey and Sanji wondered.

"Yes, he's the one who cut my body into pieces! Surely he must know where the rest of my body is."

"As long as he's with the Navy, it's a bad idea to go see him." Sanji retorted. "Also, we have no idea which side he is on."

But suddenly, the surface of a huge sphere passed them by as they could hear '' ROOM '' behind their backs.

Turning around at that moment, Grey's eyes widened, seeing that Law was staring at them and that his next attack was sure to target them.

" What is his problem ? "

" Whether it's the kids...the pirates or the guys that come with them, I can't let them go. " Law thought.

" SHAMBLES !" He shouted, aiming for the hearts of the four pirates.

"Wha…?" The first group said, feeling like their hearts had shifted.

Then, turning to the Fairy Tail mages, Law noticed the presence of Grey, Juvia and Carla while he ignored Wendy, thinking she was just one of the lab kids.

" SHAMBLES! " He repeated, aiming at their three hearts.

"What the...?" Nami (Sanji) said, looking around. " Have you noticed anything strange? "

At that moment, Carla began to scream, before falling to the ground.

"How are you, Carla?" Wendy wanted to know, picking her up.

"But what…?" The animal said, looking at his back. "I have wings? Wait, did you call me Carla?"

"Wendy! I'm here." Juvia retorted, before looking at Carla's body. "Wait, but it's my body."

"Huh?" Wendy said. " What are you telling ? "

"Let's go, let's run SUPER fast." Chopper (Franky) suddenly shouted, crossing his arms. "Huh? Since when do I have fur?"

"HIYA!" Sanji (Chopper) exclaimed, jumping up and down. "I would protect you children."

"Sanji, now is not the time to fool around." Franky (Nami) roared.

"I'm not fooling around." Nami (Sanji) swore.

"Huh?" Franky (Nami) shouted, taking off his sunglasses. "Why is my body there? And why do I have Franky's body?"

"G…GR…GREY-SAMA!" Gray suddenly shouted, looking down at his body, as steam rose from his head. "Juvia is in Grey-sama's body."

"WOW! BOOBS!" Nami (Sanji) shouted. "I have a chest."

Stopping then, the children, as well as Wendy, stared at the seven people, not understanding what was going on.

"I…I became human." Sanji (Chopper) shouted.

"Because you weren't originally?" Kin'emon wondered.

"Why did I become a tanuki?" Chopper (Franky) wanted to know.

" I… I've become very small. " Carla (Grey) was scared.

"One second! Calm down!" Franky (Nami) advised. "Let's make the roll call! Franky!"

"GREAT!" Chopper (Franky) shouted, raising his hand.

" Chopper ! "

"Here!" Sanji (Chopper) shouted.

"The Exhibitionist."

"Stop calling me that." Carla (Grey) ordered her.

"The White Cat."

"I…Here." Juvia (Carla) says.

"The Water Woman?"

"Grey-sama! Grey-sama!" Gray (Juvia) repeated, hugging himself.

"Stop touching my body like that." Carla (Grey) ordered her.

Feeling more and more frightened, counting the options left to him, Franky (Nami) rushed to Wendy, before pleading.

"Please tell me it's Sanji inside this body."

"Huh…no, I still feel good." The girl affirmed.

"But then… SANJI!" Franky (Nami) shouted.

" YEAH? " Nami (Sanji) said, looking at her cleavage. "Huh, Nami-swan?"

"Why were our bodies swapped?" Juvia (Carla) wanted to know.

"For a moment, I felt a strange sensation." Sanji confessed (Chopper). "Like someone took my heart."

"It's because of the guy in the cap." Carla (Grey) affirmed. "I heard him mumble something before we got together like this."

"Did you actually switch bodies?" Wendy wondered. "But…why wasn't I hit?"

"With all these kids around us, he must have confused you with them." Franky (Nami) remarked.

Suddenly, the sound of a huge crash was heard from the side of the door, showing that a fight had started between Law and Smoker.

"I don't know about you but, for once, I'm voting for a strategic withdrawal." Kinemon affirmed.

" I agree. "

Feeling sick, Natsu and Gajeel felt like throwing up as they lay on Brownbeard's back.

"Hey, you better not vomit on my back." The huge centaur advised.

" Shut up and keep running. " Zoro ordered him, sitting on his shoulder.

"Lily, get me out of this hell." Gajeel shouted, reaching for his exceed.

" I'm imprisoned. " Lily retorted, while Robin amused herself by cuddling him in her arms, without the cat doing anything to free himself. "Mmh, getting your head patted is kinda nice."

As for Happy, he was already flying through the air, but was carrying Luffy following Natsu's promise.

"Come on, faster, cat! Faster."

"Hey, I'm not a taxi." Happy retorted.

Suddenly, doing several loops, he increased his speed, before performing a magnificent picket towards the rest of the group. Feeling the wind sweep across his face, Luffy laughed more before Happy ended up laying him down on the centaur's back.

"That was great." He affirmed, standing up. "It's decided, the next member of the crew will be an Exceed."

"Two minutes ago you wanted our next companion to be a centaur." Usopp roared. "Stop always wanting to choose terrifying creatures."

"Yohohoho! You'll never change Luffy." Brook sneered.

Then, seeing Lucy staring at him in fear, he asked her.

"Forgive me, miss, but do you have a problem?"

"You're the problem." Lucy asserted. "How can you be alive when you're a skeleton?"

"It's easy to explain! I ate the fruit of the resurrection, which allowed me to live again after I died."

"Even that kind of power can be granted by those Devil Fruits?" Erza wondered, being barely scared by the newcomer. "On second thought, not knowing how to swim is really just a slight inconvenience."

"It depends on the power granted." Robin retorted. "Some are more interesting than others! Surely like your magical powers."

Suddenly, a huge crash was heard on the other side of the frozen part of the island.

"Huh?" Luffy said, stepping onto Brownbeard's other shoulder. "Do you think it was Sanji and the others?"

"Assholes!" Browbeard suddenly roared. "You dared to decimate my men, and on top of that you use me like a vulgar taxi! Damn you!"

"Hey, you're the ones who attacked us." Lucy retorted. "Don't reverse the roles."

"Besides, we warned you that we weren't the guy you were looking for." Lily remarked. "You can only blame yourself."

" And it would be nice to also know who the real boss of this island is. " Confirmed Zoro. "Talking is better for your own sake."

"My lips are sealed." Brownbeard retorted.

"In that case, pick up the pace." Erza ordered him, suddenly making a sword appear in his hand. "And I'm warning you right now..."

Displaying one of her famous glares, she warned him.

"If you lead us straight into a trap, you'll be just a sack of scales by the end of the day."

Frightened by her words, the centaur accelerated more, knowing very well that she was serious.

"In any case, I must admit that these clothes are very warm." Lucy rejoiced, after covering herself with the one she had stolen from a centaur! Without them, we would have frozen to death a long time ago. "

"Perhaps, but if our companions are out on this part of the island, I doubt they were lucky enough to find any as well." Robin remarked thoughtfully. "Because of frostbite, they could end up losing their limbs."

" Or else being completely frozen and feeling their hearts slowing down from the cold. " Erza added.

"Don't say such gory things." Usopp ordered, shark-toothed.

"The Navy spotted the kids?" Caesar roared, breaking a glass.

"Unfortunately, it is." One of his men agreed. "As far as we know, while Law was trying to negotiate with Smoker to get him to leave, the pirates we captured along with the four other unknowns took the children out of the biscuit-room and led them outside. , in sight of the Marines! Currently, they are heading for the exit door while Law is fighting Smoker."

"Grrr! It's all wrong." Caesar roared.

"That's what happens when you try to deal with two problems at once," remarked Doctor Fronk. "If we had decided to leave the Straw Hats alone, just to worry about Kaido's targets, we wouldn't be here."

"It's precisely because of these damn strangers that we're in trouble." Caesar retorted. "Who are they anyway?"

"From what I heard, they are mages with different magical powers, without having had to eat devil fruit. "

"Tsss! Complications." Caesar growled.

"Speaking of complications…" a female voice shouted. "…the other group managed to create other problems on the Scorched Lands."

"Huh?" Caesar said, spotting Monet arriving. " Which problems ? "

"They've slain the dragon and decimated the centaur troop! And, according to the latest news, they're coming this way."

"What?" asked Doctor Fronk. "It's impossible! Nothing can stop them or what?"

"If it continues like this, we'll be forced to make them disappear for good." Caesar remarked.

"Are you crazy?" Asked Doctor Fronk. "Killing Mugiwara will do the government a great service! However, doing the same with Smoker and the entire G-5 will yield a different result! The Navy will then come here in large numbers."

"Oh? In that case, we will just have to erase the slightest trace of their coming here! That way, no one will be able to realize that they came to this island, let alone that they died there . "

Running in the cold, the group of children led by the pirates and mages were still fleeing as the icy wind hit them hard.

"Now what do we do?" Franky (Nami) wanted to know.

"For now, as long as we can't find a way back into our bodies, it's better to find ourselves a hiding place until we can join the others." Juvia (Carla) affirmed.

"Damn it! First we meet these weird guys! Then these kids...this shishibukai...the Navy...I don't get it." Chopper confessed (Franky).

Suddenly stopping running, one of the girls froze in place, as the icy wind froze her body. Imitating him little by little, the other children did the same and tried in vain to hug each other for warmth. It had to be said that he was covered only by scanty clothing and were all barefoot. In other words, they were vulnerable to the cold.

"I…I'm cold." One of them complained.

"I can't feel my feet anymore."

" I can not move anymore. "

"Damn it!" Sanji (Chopper) growled, seeing them freezing to death. "We have to find a way to warm them up."

"Grrr, where's that stupid flame eater when we need him?" Carla (Grey) wanted to know, referring to Natsu.

A powerful explosion was suddenly heard, coming from the other side of the building. Thrown into the air, many pieces of rock and ship seemed to float in the air, and crashed one after another, falling on a particular target.

"This combat zone looks like it's gotten very dangerous." Wendy remarked.

"No wonder." Affirmed Franky (Nami). "It's still a shishibukai against a vice admiral."

Lighting a cigarette, Sanji put it in his mouth, even though it was Nami's body, and began to inhale while affirming.

"Yes, but is it normal for two people on the same side to fight like this? I mean, the Shichibukais are allied with the Navy, right? If this Smoker decided to fight Law, so there's something about the building we just left that's worth fighting this mighty pirate."

Nevertheless, suddenly losing his seriousness, he began to bleed from the nose, while putting his hand on his huge chest.

"But I don't care about their bickering! Now I have super big boobs! Who's got a camera?"

"What are you planning to do with my body?" Franky (Nami) raged.

"With Grey-sama's body, Juvia feels like she's melting." Grey (Juvia) affirmed, putting on a face similar to Sanji's, as a cloud emerged from the skin of her face.

"Don't you dare touch a single part of my body." Grey ordered her.

"AHHHHHH! I feel better." Natsu affirmed, as he flew through the sky with Happy.

"Next time, you will ask my opinion before making a deal without my permission."

"Okay, that's good! Usually you carry anyone."

"Yes, but it's only with my attribution."

Getting ready to say something, Natsu suddenly fell silent, seeing strange silhouettes, floating in the sky.

"Wha…? Hey, guys, I believe there are flying creatures approaching."

"Huh?" Luffy said, looking away.

"Creatures?" Usopp repeated, joining him.

Floating in the sky, the figures were finally visible from a distance, and the two friends could see that they were actually pieces of ships suspended in the air.

"Am I dreaming or what?" Lucy wanted to know, seeing them in turn.

"The Navy!" Zoro said simply, recognizing their boat.

"But what is the Navy doing on this island?" Brook wanted to know. "They weren't there earlier."

"Am I to understand that they are enemies?" Lily asked.

"They are the enemies of all pirates." Robin explained to him. "Then some are meaner than others."

"Damn, what do they want with the master?" Brownbeard wanted to know.

"Anyway, is it normal to see a boat in the air?" Usopp wanted to know.

Then discerning a human figure, in the distance, moving towards a building just below the pieces of the ship, Erza finally affirms.

"We just have to ask that person."

Seeing him in turn, Luffy suddenly put a smile on his face before shaking his arms in the air.

"Hey, Tra-o! TRA-O!"

Looking back at the man, Zoro eventually recognizes Trafalgar Law's face.

"This guy... he's the one that was in the auction room in Sabaondy."

"It's Trafalgar Law." Robin agreed.

"He's a friend?" Erza wanted to know.

"I'm not really sure." Usopp confessed. "He's a pirate turned shishibukai! And the shishibukais are on the side of the navy! So there's little chance he'll take any sympathy for us."

Still, seeming happy to see the man, Luffy kept calling him until he managed to get his attention. Turning around then, and despite his cap in front of his eyes, surprise was read in his eyes, when he recognized Luffy, in turn.

"Mugiwara-ya?"

"Hey, Luffy, is he your friend?" Natsu questioned him, while Happy descended a little.

"Yeah! He helped me out of a hell of a mess and thus saved my life! I owe him a lot! Nevertheless, he left without me having had time to thank him."

"I read it in the paper." Brook affirmed. "Without anyone knowing the reason, he picked you up at Marineford and saved you."

"Yes! Just like Jinbe, I have every reason to trust him."

Jumping then, off of Brownbeard's back, he eventually made his way to Law.

"Hey, Tra-o! Hey, it's been a long time! I didn't expect to find you here! Say, the teddy bear and the others are with you? I would like to thank you all for what you did to save me. "

Wearing a stern look, Law simply affirmed.

"Bravo for managing to survive! Nevertheless, I don't want your thanks! You and I are pirates with a common goal! Don't forget that."

"I know! I know!" Luffy assured. "We both want to find One Piece! Nevertheless, after what you did, I owe you a debt! So, thank you."

But while he was talking, Gajeel took advantage of Brownbeard finally stopping to get off his back.

"Damn it! It really is torture."

"That's wanting to be the strongest. " Remarked Lily, still in Robin's arms.

"Wait until I recover! I'm going to make you happy." Gajeel warned him. "We'll have a little chat."

But as he got up, he finally saw a figure lying on the ground.

"Hey, there's someone down."

"Huh?" Usopp said, looking away.

Indeed, lying on a layer of snow, Smoker's body was visible, while the Vice-Admiral had just lost to Law.

Recognizing him then, Usopp cried out.

"It's…It's him! It's Smoker."

"Damn it!" Lucy said, then leaving Brownbeard's back to see the man. "Hey, are you okay?"

Unresponsive, the man lay on the ground, while the rest of the G-5 huddled together a little further away.

"Vice-Admiral Smoker." Tashigi shouted suddenly, running in turn.

" Her? " Zoro wondered, trying to hide.

Seeing then the body of her superior, on the ground, the young woman threw a hateful look at Law while wanting an explanation.

"How dare you do this to her? You're supposed to be on our side."

"Smoker-san, we're coming!" Shouted the G-5 members, running in turn, to help their superior.

"AHHHH! The Navy is really here." Luffy was scared.

"Luffy, that sucks." Usopp retorted. "We have to go."

"Lucy! Let's go!" Gadjeel added.

"But we can't leave that man here." Lucy retorted, gently flipping Smoker's body onto its back.

It was then that her eyes widened as she saw the huge hole in his chest, where his heart should be.

" But how … ? "

Landing near her, Natsu was as surprised as she was seeing Smoker's condition. Nevertheless, starting to sniff it, he ends up turning his head towards Law, before noticing.

"Hey, you! You did this to her, didn't you?"

" Huh ? "

"Don't act innocent! You have his scent on you."

"It's normal." Law stated, fumbling through his clothes.

Suddenly in plain sight, he showed the man's heart, locked in a strange transparent cube, while it still seemed to be able to beat.

" What… But how? " Lucy and Natsu wondered.

"Smoker's heart?" Tashigi wondered, freezing.

"Wh…what's with that?" Lily wanted to know. "He sends shivers down the spine."

"So it's true what they say about him." Robin remarked.

"What?" Usopp questioned.

"To be integrated into the Shichibukais, this man delivered no less than a hundred hearts of pirate captains to the Navy. "

"Huh?" Gajeel wondered, turning to her. "But he's not a pirate anymore, he's a real psychopath."

" Luffy, get away from him. " Zoro ordered him, already putting his hand on his sword.

"Huh?" said his captain.

"Motherfucker!" Tashigi suddenly shouted, rushing at Law. "You're going to pay for what you did to Smoker."

"Tsss!" Law said, reaching for her! So stop rushing headlong! You're way too weak to beat me!

As it slipped out of his hand, a sort of sphere formed and began to engulf him, as did Tashigi, Natsu, Lucy, Happy, and Smoker's body.

" ROOM ! "

"Wha…?" Happy said, having a bad feeling. " What is this ? "

Then seeing Law grab his sword, Natsu ends up wrapping his arm around Lucy before ordering.

"Happy, let's go."

" SHAMBLES ! "

Leaving in time, Happy managed to get out of the sphere taking Natsu and Lucy with him. However, for some unknown reason, Tashigi suddenly collapsed, as if Law had just killed her, while the end of his saber had been pointed at her and Smoker.

"Tashigi!" cried the soldiers, seeing her fall to the ground.

"But how did he do that?" Erza wanted to know, getting up.

" Luffy, we really have to go. " Usopp insisted, more and more frightened by the man.

Finishing, meanwhile, by touching the ground, Natsu stared at the two bodies, before turning to Law.

"Did you really have to kill them?"

" I just did what I had to do. " Law retorted. "Anyway, I'm not the one who's going to mourn the death of those two fools."

Then causing a column of fire to spring up around him, Natsu glared at him while spitting. "

"You asshole! How dare you do whatever you want with people's lives?"

Being surprised to see his power, Law questioned him.

" Who are you ? "

" Natsu ... mage de Fairy Tail. "

"Fairy Tail?" The man repeated. "So you must be friends with the exhibitionist and the other people who were with him."

"What?" Natsu wondered. "Have you seen Grey? I hope you haven't hurt any of my friends!"

"I just considered them potential enemies." The pirate informed him.

It was too much. Charging at him, Natsu thrust his fist forward before leaping into the air.

"You'll pay for it! FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST! "

Simply sighing, Law conjured up a new sphere.

" ROOM ! "

Then, when Natsu got close enough to hit him, he suddenly disappeared to be replaced by a rock. Hitting it, Natsu was surprised for a few moments, before finally sensing his opponent, being a little further away.

" How did he do it? What is his power? "

"Hey, Tra-o! What are you doing?" Luffy questioned him. "Aren't you supposed to be a good guy?"

"I never said I was one." Law retorted.

However, seeing Natsu about to launch a new assault, he thought fit to add.

"You will find your friends on the other side of this building."

"Huh?" Luffy and Natsu wondered.

"Believe it or not, I'm just saying this..."

He suddenly stopped, and ducked in-extremis to avoid the blade of a sword. In front of him, Erza had just arrived, and could have easily beaten him in one hit if his instincts hadn't taken over thinking. She had even been so fast that Law hadn't even had time to use his power to defend himself.

Then stepping back, he stared at the young woman, with a serious look, while Erza questioned him.

"Are you telling the truth or are you just trying to fool us? In any case, just know one thing, if you have done any harm to our friends, prepare to know the wrath of the members of Fairy Tail."

" Who is she? " Law wanted to know, staying on his guard! She almost took me by surprise! For that alone, I would say that she has all the qualities necessary to be part of the Shichibukais! Are they all like that in Fairy Tail? »

Finally, wanting to show that he didn't want to fight against them, he put away his saber before affirming.

"I'm just telling you what I know! After all, we all have something to gain from this."

Then, leaving, he left the trio, while the Navy soldiers decided to charge them.

"Natsu! Erza!" They called Lucy, while Happy put her on Brownbeard.

"Damn it, I'm not staying here." The centaur asserted, then leaving.

Looking at each other then, the three comrades finally nodded, before running towards the centaur.

"That guy...it's Monkey D. Luffy." One of the soldiers affirmed, pointing at him.

"Shoot him! Don't let him go."

Hearing the men start tugging at them, Natsu turned back to them, before puffing out his mouth.

" FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR ! "

Seeing the flames bearing down on them, the G-5 ducked to the ground in time to avoid being roasted, thus allowing the fugitives to rejoin their friends.

Wrapping his arm around Natsu and Erza's waists, Luffy ends up jumping onto Brownbeard's back, taking them with him.

"Quick, we have to go around the building." Erza ordered. "This guy told us our friends were there."

"Huh?" Lily said. "Aren't you going to believe what that guy told you?"

"He's right." Usopp affirmed. "After what he just did, he can't be trusted! He's a shichibukai, after all."

" We have no choice. " Natsu retorted, while fighting the nausea as best he could. "It's the only lead we have to find our friends! Nevertheless, this guy loses nothing by waiting! I'll beat him up, I'm telling you!
