Ch. 80: "Honey, We Shrunk the Capricorns."
When Yuki-Rin awoke, she was in a grand mansion.
"My head…" Kazuma moaned as he rubbed his head. "What happened?"
"Looks like we've been kidnapped," Yuki-Rin answered as she studied her surroundings. All around her, the other Capricorns were waking up, confused on how they got here and what happened.
"Where are we?" Hana asked everyone.
"My playroom!"
Saint Ninamori – the seven-year old girl who lost to Aki in the princess contest – approached the Capricorns.
"Didn't we see you at the competition?" Heathcliffe asked Saint Ninamori, who kicked his shin.
"You meanie! I wanted to be the pretty princess!" Saint Ninamori cried.
"Look, it's not my fault, we – " Heathcliffe explained before Saint Ninamori approached him and touched his forehead. A second later, Heathcliffe shrunk to a very small size.
"Woah! Where did my baby brother go?!" Holden cried.
"Down here!" Heathcliffe cried. Holden bent down to the ground.
"Baby bro, are you down here?" Holden asked the tiny Heathcliffe, who climbed onto Holden's shoe. "Heathcliffe! You're… Tiny."
"I know that! How do I grow back to normal?" Heathcliffe asked as he climbed onto Holden's finger.
"I found Heathcliffe! Look at him! He's so tiny!" Holden yelled. Aki approached Holden.
"Awww! Sarutobi-kun looks so adorable!" Aki cooed.
"Change me back! I don't know what happened, but that little girl shrunk me down to this size!" Heathcliffe cried. Aki picked up the tiny Heathcliffe.
"I could just put you in my pocket, Sarutobi-kun! You're so cute when you're tiny!" Aki gushed. Then, the next thing she knew, Aki was shrunken down, the same size as Heathcliffe. "Sarutobi-kun, why is everybody so huge? What's going on?"
"That girl must've ate some weird Devil Fruit, Aki. We'll change back to normal soon," Heathcliffe explained as the other Capricorns around them shrunk to their levels.
"I have the feeling that this girl ate the Dinky Dinky no Mi – A Paramecia Devil Fruit where the user can shrink anything they touch," Wolfgang explained. "But, the good thing is that we're only this size for twenty-four hours. All we have to do is bide our time until we grow back to normal height."
"And what do we do until then?" Hana asked Wolfgang as Saint Ninamori picked them up. Wolfgang sighed.
"I guess we have to play with this girl. She's only seven or so, so I'm sure that this will be a harmless, yet strange, adventure," Wolfgang explained as Saint Ninamori placed the tiny Capricorns into a large, elegant dollhouse.
"Alright, everyone, playtime will begin soon! Until then, go make some friends with your fellow dolls!" Saint Ninamori explained before she skipped off.
"Dolls?!" The Capricorns cried.
"What does she mean by 'dolls'?!" Hana cried. Yuki-Rin sighed.
"I guess she means that we're the size of small dolls little girls like to play with," Yuki-Rin explained. "Maki-chan, can you see anybody else through the walls?"
Maki-chan squinted, using her Devil Fruit-generated X-ray vision to find other "dolls" in the dollhouse.
"I can see two people. I see a man in a suit and a girl. But, I don't know who they are and if we should trust them," Maki-chan explained. "But… I don't even know if they're like us where we're shrunk down to fun-size."
In the other room, Blaise and Sadie sat, awaiting their "playtime".
"What did we do? One minute, we're on the streets selling swords, and the next minute, we're the size of small toys! What's going on here?!" Sadie cried.
"I think this girl who has possession of us ate the Dinky Dinky no Mi. This means that we're going to be stuck like this until at least this time tomorrow," Blaise explained.
"Hello? Is anybody in here?"
Yuki-Rin entered the room.
"Looks like we're not alone," Blaise commented as he studied Yuki-Rin. "Have we met before?"
"Uhh… I think so. But, if we haven't, my name's Yuki-Rin," Yuki-Rin introduced herself to Blaise and Sadie.
"I see. My name is Blaise. Blaise Nightwing. This is Sadie Hawkins, my apprentice," Blaise introduced himself.
"Hello," Sadie said.
"So, how did you end up like this?" Blaise asked Yuki-Rin.
"Well, my crew and I were at the princess contest, which my friend won. Afterward, we went out to eat to celebrate. But, somebody put something in our food, so we passed out and woke up here," Yuki-Rin explained. "Is there anything we can do until we grow back to normal?"
"Sorry, there's not much we can do," Sadie apologized. "Heck, we don't even know if we can get out of the dollhouse."
"All we can do is wait. Wait until we grow back to our original sizes, then we'll talk about getting out of this place," Blaise explained. Yuki-Rin sighed.
"Well, then…" Yuki-Rin muttered.
"Yuki-Rin, where did you go?!"
Yuki-Rin jumped up.
"Sorry about that. My crew sent me to look for other people in here, so I have to go back to them," Yuki-Rin apologized to Blaise and Sadie.
"It's okay. It was nice meeting you," Sadie said.
"Well, see you around," Yuki-Rin said before she re-joined the other Capricorns in the other room.
"Yuki-Rin, who were you talking to?" Kazuma asked Yuki-Rin.
"Oh, just two other people who were shrunk down to this size," Yuki-Rin explained.
"Did you find any way on how we can go back to our original sizes?" Hana asked Yuki-Rin, who shook her head. "Well, that sucks!"
Some of the Capricorns groaned.
"Now what?!" Enlai cried.
"I guess we just wait until we grow back to our normal sizes tomorrow," Yuki-Rin said.
"Hell no! I don't want to play with that psycho kid! I have a bad feeling about her, and I'm sure most of you guys do, too!" Enlai ranted.
"And, this is one of the few things I can agree with you on," Wolfgang added. Enlai sighed.
"Even Shitty Katsuragi agrees with me! Something is defintely up!" Enlai cried.
"Okay, I take that back. Baka Enlai, you're making this sound like a conspiracy," Wolfgang retorted.
"Okay, it's time to play!"
The Capricorns screamed.
"Hurry! We have to hide!" Yuki-Rin yelled. Immediately, most of the Capricorns hid under sofas and chairs, in cupboards, and behind other objects, leaving Yuki-Rin, Heathcliffe, Molly, Kazuma, and Hana standing in plain sight.
"Oh, now what?!" Hana cried. Yuki-Rin looked around the room, looking for a place to hide.
"Hurry up, Yuki-Rin! She's coming for us!" Heathcliffe cried as the door opened. Yuki-Rin then spotted a door next to the staricase landing.
"A-ha! I found a closet!" Yuki-Rin yelled as she pulled Kazuma, Heathcliffe, Molly, and Hana into the closet and closed the door behind her just as Saint Ninamori entered the room and approached her dollhouse.
"Oh, no! My dollies are gone! They must be playing hide-and-seek!" Saint Ninamori said as she opened the closet containing Yuki-Rin and her friends, half-sister, and boyfriend.
"Holy crap, we're done for!" Hana cried. But, Saint Ninamori didn't notice them.
"Hmm… Maybe they're hiding somewhere else," Saint Ninamori said before she ran off. Yuki-Rin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Enlai's right. This little kid is fucking nuts," Heathcliffe commented.
