Kidd wondered if Law would have never started the fight if he had known for certain that Penguin was going to go against him seriously without holding back. Even now, the red haired captain could tell that Law wasn't trying very hard to hit his crew mate. It was a pity, because Kidd could tell from just a mere glance at the cold expression across Penguin's face that the Heart Pirate crew mate was not going to be as kind in return. Kidd would have almost, almost been a little worried about Law's health if Penguin's intentions weren't to just to take Law down and cart him off back to a ship. Whether it was Law's own ship or Kidd's, the red head didn't care.
"Penguin, that's enough. Stop right now."
Kidd didn't think it was a good sign that Penguin didn't appear to be receptive to what was obviously a direct order from a captain to his subordinate. The curl to the Heart Pirate's lips didn't bode well for Law, and Kidd wondered if he ought to interfere. But the phantom reminder of a hand to his throat surfaced, and the red head decided to stay out of it for now. He'd rather not have Penguin not back down if Law wasn't able to get him to listen to him. Kidd liked his throat intact, and he had no doubt that Penguin could do some nasty damage if given the chance.
"I won't stop. Not until you stop this nonsense. Is getting revenge on Doflamingo really worth so much that you'd turn your back on your own crew?" Penguin lunged forward, and only Law's powers prevented him from landing the intended punch.
"I'm trying to protect you all! And none of you will stay away!" Law swapped places with Penguin this time as Penguin lunged at him.
"Because we're not going to let you do this to yourself! You obviously trust us enough for you to want us in your crew, so why don't you let us help you?" Penguin recovered swiftly from the switch, and turned about to meet Law's retaliating strike.
Seriously, where did Law find this guy? Kidd wouldn't have liked any of his crewmates arguing against his decisions, unless they were very stupid ones that he obviously needed to be talked out of. Kidd still regretted not listening to Killer on one occasion, and so now Kidd had one less limb. Since then, Kidd grudgingly listened a little bit more to his crewmates, even if he did happen to take more risks than was likely good for his health.
"I am not going to change my mind." Law circled around his crew mate again, obviously looking for an opening.
Kidd was surprised to see an almost sad look pass over Penguin's features, before it settled into a neutral one as he dropped into a fighting stance.
"Then I'm going to apologize in advance for what I'm going to do."
And that was that. The duel had started out hesitant, which made Kidd figure that neither of them were trying to do too much damage if they could avoid it. But before long, the careful way the two moved in for a jab here and there grew less gentle and became far more aggressive. The two Heart Pirates nearly seemed to be dancing with one another as they weaved in and around one another's strikes, both looking for an opportunity to land a finishing blow. At this point, Kidd could tell that Penguin and Law both knew that there was no reasoning with one another, even if they did try anyway. The red haired captain had been right. Law and Penguin were idiots.
Kidd watched from the sidelines, not quite sure what to make of the exchange. Not that he would have argued with Law's crew mate over beating Law up for his own good. The dark haired pirate captain was far too loyal to his own crew to even think about trying to escape with them and face Doflamingo's wrath with them by their side. No, Law wanted to protect them from harm and keep them out of said harm's way. It wasn't going over very well with at least Penguin, and Kidd wondered if the rest of his crew felt the same way.
"Stand down, Penguin."
"I can't do that, captain."
Kidd knew that it was probably a bad thing to not be paying attention to his surroundings, but he couldn't help himself. A sweaty and heavily breathing Law was quite a sight, and Kidd felt no shame whatsoever keeping his eyes glued to the other captain. To the way the dark haired pirate twisted out of range of any serious damage. Law's ass looked quite nice in those jeans too. Kidd hadn't noticed that the night before, and blamed the shitty lighting for missing that little detail. It was a pity that he hadn't copped more of a feel, but then again, Law had been trying to sneak off for most of the night, so Kidd had more important things on his mind than checking out Law in his nicely fitted jeans.
"Fuck." Now was not the time to be getting hard. It wasn't like he could take care of it in the midst of a battle going on nearby, and one that was currently going on overhead. It didn't help Kidd much that Law looked very sexy from the exertion he was putting in to avoiding Penguin's strikes, and felt absurdly pleased that some of the weariness was likely from them having sex twice the night before. Not that Law was making it obvious that he had a bit of a limp. Kidd frowned. It was too bad Law hadn't just shut the hell up and gone along with him before he was forced to fight his own crewmate. Kidd would have preferred to have been the one to haul Law's sorry ass off, but as long as Penguin knocked Law down, Kidd could still haul him off whether the dark haired pirate liked it or not. Neither Penguin nor Kidd were going to allow Law to slink off to Doflamingo for what they believed to be selfish reasons.
"Mingo!"
Kidd reluctantly took his eyes off Law, who'd just side stepped another glancing blow from Penguin to see what Luffy was yelling about. The red haired captain grinned wolfishly at the sight. Damn, Luffy was incredibly fearless to be taking those nasty strikes Doflamingo aimed his way. Kidd watched as Luffy blocked a punch from Doflamingo and returned it with one of his own, before the two men broke away and landed on opposite rooftops, all but openly glowering at one another. Kidd might have been impressed with Straw Hat's display had the stupidity not continued when Luffy opened his mouth.
"Tra-guy is coming with us!"
Doflamingo grinned massively like he found Luffy the most interesting thing in the world. "That brat isn't going anywhere but back to my ship, Straw Hat." Or not. It was more like Doflamingo found Luffy akin to an irritating itch that he just couldn't rid himself of, no matter what he tried.
"Captain!"
Kidd turned his eyes back on Law and Penguin's duel at the cry from Law's other crew mate, the white bear. He'd forgotten about that animal. It was weird that he was speaking. Kidd felt a flash of irritation and anger at the sight of Penguin managing to get past Law's defenses to land a solid blow to his stomach, which sent him backward into the nearest wall of a building. Kidd's hand twitched, longing to return the favor to Penguin, but just managed to restrain himself. It wasn't his fight, and if Penguin took Law down, then Kidd wouldn't have to do it. Kidd grinned to himself. He'd just make sure that he was the one to carry off Law's exhausted body. Kidd would have to make sure that he was all right after all.
"Room."
Kidd watched as Law swapped positions with some debris on the ground and almost use another of his powers on Penguin. The attack missed, and nearly tore a slight hole in the Heart Pirate crew mate's clothes. Kidd narrowed his eyes as he caught sight of Penguin's fist clenching. The red haired captain guessed that meant that Law's crew mate was going to strike the same place. As much as he wanted to prevent Penguin from doing so, Kidd again reminded himself that they were trying to drag Law off from here without making too much of a scene.
"Ack!"
Kidd caught sight of something out of the corner of his eye, and barely managed to get out of the way to avoid being stuck down by the appearance of Luffy. The Straw Hat captain crashed into the ground mere inches from where Kidd had been standing before. Kidd didn't even bother to check if Luffy got up or not, because Straw Hat's meeting with the ground meant that Doflamingo was not going to be far behind. The screams from nearby didn't bode well, nor did the sinister chuckling of Doflamingo as the older pirate moved down from where he was perched overhead.
"I don't know why any of you are bothering with Law. He already made his decision. Why must you interfere?"
Kidd shifted so that he was blocking Doflamingo from Penguin and Law's still ongoing fight, though from the gasp and grunt, it sounded like Penguin had the upper hand over his captain. But right now, Kidd couldn't resist baiting Doflamingo, because the son of a bitch was pissing him off by staking a claim on Law. It riled him up more than he would have thought possible and it made his mouth run.
"Too bad he isn't going to go back with you then." Kidd might have been concerned at the baring of teeth he received for that remark, if he hadn't already been using his Devil Fruit powers and getting a little revenge for Doflamingo tangling his legs up earlier. "Repel."
"Bullet String!"
Kid bit his lip hard as the attack cut his upper right arm, but the pain was worth it to see Doflamingo stumble because his legs were temporarily caught by a cluster of metal. Kidd flicked his fingers with a grin of his own, and felt no pity at all for slicing Doflamingo's legs up. He only regretted not anticipating how quickly Doflamingo would respond, as he suddenly felt sharp pain across his chest as he was thrown backward by a vicious kick as Doflamingo had managed to free one of his long legs. Hitting the building hurt just a bit more after being kicked by someone larger than you. It also sucked having the breath driven from one's body. And to add to the humiliation of being dealt with so quickly, he had to land next to Law, who immediately scolded him.
"What the hell do you think you're doing? He'll kill you."
"Shut...the fuck...up." Kidd gasped as he turned an irritable glare on the dark haired pirate.
Law wheezed out a laugh, but it was obvious he wasn't going to have an easy time getting back up from where he had fallen to the ground. Penguin had certainly did a number on him.
Kidd wasn't entirely happy at how quickly Law got his ass whipped by his own crew mate, but the thought fled as Doflamingo slashed the ground dangerously close to his head.
"I knew you looked like you wanted to get laid last night Law, but I didn't realize you'd already been with him before."
Kidd winced as Doflamingo slashed the ground even closer, taking some of his coat with it. Damn, he'd liked this coat. Fucking son of a bitch tearing it up with causal waves of his hand.
"Were you planning to leave all along, Law? Did you call him to the island to be able to slink off with him?"
Kidd didn't like being ignored, but he'd rather not draw more attention to himself than he already had. Mainly because he needed to catch his breath before launching a counterattack. Kidd saw Law prop himself up on one arm, and he was seething at someone. Doflamingo, most likely.
"Shambles."
Kidd twitched as one of the daggers he had vanished and reappeared in Law's hand. What the fuck? What did Law think he could do with a fucking dagger against Doflamingo?
Law smiled wearily, before he leaned up against the wall and stared around at those within view. A half smile hovered around his lips, and Penguin was the first to speak, a warning in his voice.
"Captain, don't do that-"
"Mingo!"
Luffy slammed into Doflamingo with a heavy armament infused punch, but the older pirate reacted immediately by gripping Luffy's nearest limb. Doflamingo's other hand raised with the intention of doing much more deliberating damage than just tossing Straw Hat around.
"Quit getting in my way, Straw Hat Luffy!"
Kidd frowned as Law, who was still retaining his room around them all, jabbed the dagger forward, before he twisted the fingers of his other hand.
"Shambles."
Kidd blinked in confusion. What the hell? Why was he standing up now and facing Law? Hadn't he been on the ground before? Kidd heard Penguin's voice, and felt a sense of foreboding.
"Did you really have to do that Law?"
Kidd turned his head, and started in surprise. Why the fuck was he looking at his own body on the ground? And why the hell was it moving without him? Kidd heard Law's crew mate speak again and was startled to hear the man's voice come out of his body.
"Exactly what is this supposed to accomplish? You've only tired yourself out more this way."
Law let out a weak breath of laughter, before he slumped on the ground and dropped the room with obvious effort. "...It was the only thing I could think of to get you all to stop fighting for a moment." The dark haired Heart Pirate captain settled onto the ground further, and appeared to lose consciousness.
"Law?"
Kidd frowned down at the dark haired pirate's limp form. That just fucking figured that Law would wear himself out to this extent. And since when the hell could Law swap people's bodies? That was bizarre as hell. And did Law really have to put him in Penguin's body? The man was shorter than he was, and he didn't have a Devil Fruit power. Kidd heard a curse before he heard Penguin direct a question to him.
"How do you keep this metal arm attached? It feels like it is slipping."
Kidd let out an aggravated breath. "My Devil Fruit obviously. Is it too difficult to figure out?" Kidd sneered at Penguin, and felt that his body didn't seem as threatening anymore. Maybe it was because Penguin was making his body's expression scrunch up into one of confusion.
"How?"
Before Kidd could state the obvious to Penguin, or rather, what he felt was obvious, Luffy and Doflamingo ended up gathered nearby. Kidd couldn't help but snigger as it became clear in an instant that Law had swapped their bodies as well. But while Lufffy was having a blast at the weirdness of it, Doflamingo was pissed off and quite unhappy with Law, who was most certainly out of commission for the time being.
"Awesome! I'm so tall right now!" Luffy checked Doflamingo's body over, before he grinned. "Does that mean I can fly around in the air like mingo can?"
Kidd wasn't sure whether to laugh or not at the peculiar sight of Luffy trying to make Doflamingo's larger body 'fly'. Seeing the pink feathered coat wearing former warlord flap his arms and take high jumps into the air nearly did him in. Though it was quite amusing to see Doflamingo get highly annoyed while in Luffy's body, Kidd blinked in confusion as he noticed something else. Where in the hell had Doflamingo produced those shades and slipped them on over Luffy's eyes? The wonder was gone as soon as Doflamingo directed his ire on Luffy.
"Straw Hat! Stop doing that with my body!"
Luffy paused in his efforts and frowned at his own body. "How did you fly? I can't fly right now. That's boring."
"I don't fly! I use my Devil Fruit powers when I'm in the air!"
Luffy brightened, and Kidd found the obvious cheer quiet disturbing to see on Doflamingo's body. Thankfully the shades were still in place. Kidd was sure if he'd have broken down into gales of laughter if he'd seen Luffy light up with visible eyes in that bastards' body.
"Oh, like this?" Luffy flicked a hand experimentally, and jumped slightly when he ended up tearing off a sign from its post nearby. Luffy looked at his hand, then the sign, before he grinned in excitement. "Awesome! How did I do that?"
Doflamingo had the presence of mind to duck as Luffy swung a hand again, and did more damage than he'd meant to, as evidenced by the look of surprise that crossed Doflamingo's body's face.
"Oops."
Kidd couldn't help but snigger at Doflamingo trying to dissuade Luffy from using his Devil Fruit powers, because Luffy seemed quite keen on trying them out. It figured that Doflamingo's words would have no effect, because Luffy started flicking one of Doflamingo's large hands at the sky.
"Huh? I think I feel a tugging? What's that?"
"You hit a cloud!"
Kidd wondered if Doflamingo had forgotten about the fight with Luffy, as the older pirate seemed much more distressed that Luffy was toying around with his Devil Fruit powers and making a mess of the town. Kidd decided that it was fucking hilarious, and would just sit back and watch the chaos unfold. Kidd spotted movement, however, and tilted his head to catch sight of Bepo in the background looking like he wasn't sure what to make of the situation. As much fun as it was to see Doflamingo getting into a heated argument with Luffy, Kidd decided that he ought to go over and check on Law, however, before Doflamingo could do anything to him. Kidd crouched down next to the dark haired pirate's side, and watched the rise and fall of his chest. Kidd winced slightly as he tilted his head. Damn, how the hell was Penguin moving around when his wounds weren't fully healed? "Trafalgar?"
No response.
Kidd wondered if Law had fallen unconscious, but he was still in Penguin's body. Did the Devil Fruit's power not break if Law was knocked out or ended up passed out? Kidd tensed up as Doflamingo stalked over to him, and even as Doflamingo threatened and raved, Kidd found it very strange to see Luffy looking so angry. At the very least it seemed as if Doflamingo had given up trying to stop Luffy from messing around with his powers. Kidd figured that would have been a lost cause anyway. Luffy didn't appear willing to listen to anyone. Or perhaps it was because Doflamingo didn't want to chance damaging his own body, no matter how irritating Luffy was.
"Change us back right now, Law!" Doflamingo appeared to take offense to Law not responding right away, because he reached out with a hand and gripped the front of Law's shirt. "I know you can do it as easily as you did just now."
Silence.
"Don't try my patience, brat. I can find ways to make you do as I ask."
Kidd reacted automatically and reached out to grip the wrist to prevent Doflamingo from likely shaking the barely conscious Law. "Leave him alone." Kidd winced as Doflamingo let go of Law in favor of seizing him, and turned his anger on him instead.
"Don't tell me what to do. You really have nothing to do with this, so stay out of it before I make you."
Kidd grunted as he attempted to free himself from the grip Doflamingo had gotten on his arm. Jeez, both Law and Doflamingo apparently had issues with people trying to tell them what to do. Kidd turned Penguin's, his, he supposed for now, head, and griped down at Law. "At least change me and your crew mate back. I doubt that you want anything more to happen to this body, right? It feels like his wounds aren't completely healed over."
"Leave my body alone, Doflamingo."
Kidd damn near laughed his ass off at the sight of Penguin using his body to drag Luffy's body away by the scruff of his neck, successfully distracting Doflamingo. And holy shit did Doflamingo appear to be even further enraged at being treated in such a matter. So much so that he attempted to twist Luffy's body around to punch at Penguin in Kidd's body. It didn't have much effect since Penguin had enough sense to lean out of the way, and appeared to be quite content to continue to hold Doflamingo by the scruff of his neck. The cursing was interesting to see issue out of Luffy's body in Doflamingo's deeper voice.
Law mumbled something, but he didn't have his eyes open as he continued to rest on his side and wheeze in breaths with the quick rise and fall of his chest. It didn't seem like the dark haired Heart Pirate even had the strength to lift his head at this point, let alone utilize his powers. Which was highly inconvenient. It meant that they were going to have to get off the streets and soon, before they drew attention to themselves. Kidd supposed he or Penguin would just have to get Law and -
"There! They're over there! The pirates! Capture them!"
"They destroyed those buildings!"
"They must be working with them."
Well fuck. It had to get worse than it already was, didn't it? That just fucking figured. It seemed like he was having real bad luck as of late. Kidd hastily scooped Law up in his arms, even if it was far more difficult then before since he didn't have the muscle and height advantage over him. "Damn, you're more of a gangly bastard now." Kidd muttered, and he could have sworn he saw a faint smile cross Law's lips. Before Kidd could actually see if the dark haired pirate was actually awake, sudden gunshots rang out, as well as a blast from a smaller cannon that struck in the midst of them, setting off a small explosion and sending those present in different directions.
Doflamingo, Law and Kidd were thrown in one direction, and cut off from the others as a pile of rubble piled between where they were and where they'd come from.
Kidd had the presence of mind to keep a hold of Law and just barely managed to prevent him from being further wounded, though it is a little awkward since he was shorter in this body than his own. Not to mention Penguin's body was still recovering from all of the wounds he'd received from before. It hurt to even right himself, and he could have sworn that he was bleeding somewhere. But he could have just received a new wound in that blast. Kidd checked Law over, and was a little more thorough then he really needed to be. He'd even sneakily creeped fingers over Law's waist, and was absurdly pleased when one of Law's hands closed over his weakly.
"Don't go feeling me up while you're in my crewmate's body." Law breathed softly, his eyes fluttering open briefly. "It seems very wrong."
"Then you shouldn't have swapped our bodies in the first place." Kidd muttered crossly in return.
Law closed his eyes, but squeezed Kidd's hand lightly. "Seriously, don't do anything to me while you're in that body. Penguin would kill me."
"Not even a kiss?" Kidd asked, and didn't give a shit if he had sounded whiny and childish, like the dark haired Heart Pirate captain had denied him something unfairly.
"No." Law stated firmly in return, before he let out a sigh and went limp.
Kidd leaned over Law anxiously and tentatively squeezed his hand. There was a faint twitch in response, and Kidd felt his borrowed body's shoulders droop in relief. So Law wasn't completely unconscious then. Just exhausted. At the very least it appeared that Law was all right somehow. "Lucky bastard. At least you didn't get injured in that blast." Kidd shifted gingerly. He missed his own body already. Penguin's didn't seem to be as hardy as his was.
Doflamingo, it turned out, had managed to avoid taking any damage at all in Luffy's body, as the bullets had had no effect, and landing on the ground had done nothing more but briefly knock the wind out of him.
Kidd subconsciously clutched Law's barely conscious form close as Luffy's head in their direction. Law hadn't said anything about holding him, so he was going to do just that. If nothing else he could annoy Doflamingo a little with the display.
"Law is going to go back with me. He can't go back on his word, or I'll just kill his crew when I next see them, and then take him with me anyway." Doflamingo considered Kidd for a moment. "I suppose I may as well include you as well, though I doubt Law counts you as someone he is as close to as his own crew."
That ticked Kidd off, but being in Penguin's worn out and again injured body actually made him think instead of act right away. It appeared like Doflamingo was trying to goad him right now, but what could Doflamingo do while he was in Luffy's body? Did Devil Fruit users have an easier time using someone else's powers if they themselves had one? Kidd found out quickly that Doflamingo could use Luffy's powers, minimally, as a fist came out of nowhere and clocked him in the face.
"Fuck." Kidd went sprawling backward, but he knew that had Doflamingo had better control, he would have been able to hit him just a bit harder than he had just now. But it was enough. Doflamingo had obviously accomplished what he had wanted to do. Separate Kidd from Law.
Doflamingo crouched down next to Law, his eyes locked on Kidd's as he spoke to Law. "If you don't want me to kill that bastard in your crew mate's body, change us back now. This is only delaying the inevitable, and adding to what I plan to do with you once you put things back the way they were."
Falling to the ground appeared to have jolted Law out of his daze, because the dark haired pirate tilted his head slightly, his voice fainter than it had been before. "...can't."
Doflamingo made Luffy's expression warp into a displeased scowl. "You're obviously awake enough to use your powers. So use them. Quit fooling around."
Law gave a faint shake of his head. "Can't...need both bodies..."
"You...what?"
Seeing a ruffled Luffy was very, very odd, even if it was Doflamingo.
Kidd got a sinking feeling when Law murmured his words. Well shit. That meant he was going to be stuck in Penguin's body and Doflamingo in Luffy's until they were able to meet back up with the others. Kidd noticed that Doflamingo looked like he wanted to throttle Law, but he was interrupted by a group of people appearing, most of them bearing shackles as they surrounded them.
"We found some of them!"
"Capture them while they're recovering!"
"Don't let those pirates get away!"
Kidd reacted as quickly as he could make Penguin's body act, which wasn't very fast. By the time he made it back to Law's side, the people that had gathered had set upon them all. As much as Kidd wanted to fight, he could tell that it wasn't going to do him any good with the state of the body he currently had control of. So as much as it pissed him off, he allowed their attackers to cuff his wrists behind his back. Law didn't react to being manacled either, but that could have just been because he was barely conscious at this point. Kidd knew that the other reason that he didn't fight back was because he didn't want Law to end up being hurt. Which kind of pissed Kidd off that he was even concerned for the other pirate captain in the first place, with all the body swapping bullshit he had just pulled.
"Law!"
Kidd caught sight of Doflamingo being pinned down by several people as he fought like crazy to prevent their intentions. But as he was unfamiliar with Luffy's Devil Fruit powers, he was unable to put up as much of a fight as he had apparently wanted to. Kidd more or less tuned out the threats that Doflamingo started to snarl, as Kidd decided that he was going to make sure that Law would be all right. Because Law needed to be fine so that he could put everyone back into their correct bodies. Kidd was desperately trying to tell himself he didn't actually feel any concern for Law, but it was a hard thing for him to do. Especially after the previous night had reminded him that he was willing to do more than the occasional fuck in some random inn bed. That he might actually be fine with their meetings becoming more...of a regular basis kind of thing.
"Did you get the others?"
"They're being pursued right now by the other group we had out on patrol. They were going to meet up with us at the checkpoint."
"Good. I want all of these pirates in one spot to keep an eye on them."
Kidd froze as one of the people forced a bag over his head, and figured they did similarly to Doflamingo and Law, because Kidd heard Doflamingo cursing and threatening to kill them all. Kidd stumbled as he was lifted to his feet and shoved into a walk.
"You two, either carry your friend or we drag him."
Kidd presumed they meant Law, and was proven correct when he felt Law being shoved at him. It was awkward being chained as he was, but Kidd managed to get one of Penguin's arms to link slightly around Law's right forearm, though it was hard to walk and keep the more or less limp Heart Pirate upright while he himself was handcuffed, and with the limbs behind his back at that.
"You are going to pay for this, Law."
The threat was a low growl, but suddenly it was a lot easier to help Law along, so it had to have meant that Doflamingo had made the decision to set aside any animosities to keep Law functional. Doflamingo obviously wanted to be back in his own body more than the idea of letting Law suffer a bit by being dragged about. Kidd smiled despite the shitiness of the situation. It certainly would be better for Law to be in good shape if he was going to swap everyone back into their own bodies.
"Get walking already. We got a couple of miles to go."
Kidd was going to kill Law. No, that would be letting the dark haired pirate off too easily. Kidd was going to fuck him into oblivion for being such a fucking dumbass, thinking that it was a good idea to pull this bullshit on them on an island they knew next to nothing about. The cheerfulness of Fiesta Island was obviously covering up something very dark. And it seemed like they were now involved whether they wanted to be or not. And to think that less than an hour ago all Kidd had had on his mind was sex...
"Are we going to hand them over to the marines?"
"Yeah, aren't their bounties really, really high?"
"We could use the money."
As they were hauled off along a path to who the hell knew where with Doflamingo's threats overriding the other people's voices on occasion, Kidd had only one regret as he held tight to Law's nearly limp body. That he didn't fuck Law into exhaustion sooner than he had, and hauled him off in the middle of the night. Because a midnight getaway from the noisy island would have been a hell of a lot less painful and humiliating then having his body switched with Law's crew mate. And the soon to be annoyance of whatever it was they had all gotten themselves in to with their sudden captors.
"Move faster!"
It was turning out to be a very shitty morning, and there was absolutely nothing Kidd could do about it. At the very least, Kidd hoped that Straw Hat would be able to provide some sort of diversion. Not that it would really amount to anything, but it would be entertaining all the same, if that put a halt to whatever their captors had planned. As if reading his thoughts, Straw Hat's voice suddenly rang out in the distance, and Kidd couldn't help but let out a laugh.
"Whoa! That building was cut in half! Did I do that?"
Kidd figured that someone really should have told Luffy that playing around with someone else's Devil Fruit power could potentially be dangerous. Kidd heard what sounded like someone running into something, followed by a grunt of surprise and what appeared to be more property damage. Kidd, despite still moving along at the pace his captors' wanted him to be moving in, dissolved into crazed laughter at the absurdity of all that was happening. He would have loved to see whatever it was that Luffy had done, but Kidd could imagine what it was all the same.
For someone of Doflamingo's stature, ducking was a must when going into a building. Luffy obviously hadn't realized this tidbit of information.
"Hey! Where'd the door go?"
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
A/N: Sometimes I just need time to muse over plot points before continuing some fanfics. I think I worked out transition issues for the next few chapters, so hopefully it doesn't get too confusing once I actually type them up (mainly the whole body swapping thing).
Basically Law will swap everyone back to their own bodies when they're all back together, it's just getting back into a group that will be the problem. Also laughing at the idea of Luffy wearing shaded glasses (that Doflamingo somehow found immediately that fit). On the other hand, Luffy is going to have a lot of fun playing around with Doflamingo's powers, though it is going to get him into trouble. I needed something silly and Law swapping everyone's bodies seemed like something he might do at this point, since all of them have irked him in one way or another, and it was a good way to distract everyone. Even if it backfired on him in a way (Law wasn't thinking when he swapped Kidd and Penguin, until it was too late to do anything about it for the time being).
