Shichbukai Donquixito Doflamingo
Well guys the next chapter is out. Please review since it keeps me motivated.
"Donquixito Doflamingo," said Robin.
The man in question continued to look at the three Straw Hats with the same expression he always had, a big grin on his face. However unlike Luffy's grin which was warm and happy, Doflamingo's grin was evil and psychotic.
"Nico Robin, so we finally meet," said Doflamingo.
Robin didn't reply back and instead continued to look at Doflamingo. While her face was neutral, it was clear that she was worried. During her time with the revolutionary army, she was told about Doflamingo, one of the most feared pirates in the world and a powerful member of the Shichbukai. She was told that he was apparently not only extremely strong but absolutely fearless, a dangerous combination. She knew one person who had such a combination, none other than her ex captain Monkey D Luffy. He was extremely strong having defeated two members of the Shichbukai, and many other powerful foes. Also he was definitely fearless having declared war of the world government. Such a combination resulted in Luffy being an extremely dangerous foe to anyone who opposed him. However she was his nakama so she had nothing to fear. The man in front of her was a different story. She had to be extremely cautious.
Franky and Chopper looked at Robin. Her expression was calm but they were her nakama. So they could tell when she was worried. And they could easily tell that the man in front of them was causing fear in Robin, which was something.
"Robin, do you know him?" asked Franky.
Franky suspected that Robin knew the man. If not for the fact that she was very knowledgeable, then for the fact that the man was instilling fear in her.
"Yes, however only by reputation," answered Robin to Franky's question.
"He's a pirate," started Robin.
"A pirate with a former bounty of 340 million bellies," continued Robin.
"Former, then that means," said Chopper already realizing the implications of the bounty being former.
"Yes, this man is Donquixto Doflamingo, an extremely powerful and feared member of the Shichbukia," said Robin.
Franky and Chopper both had shocked faces.
"This guy," said Franky before turning to Doflamingo.
Doflamingo still had his amused expression at Robin revealing his reputation.
"If he's a Shichbukai then what's he doing here?" asked Chopper in a worried voice.
"More importantly this is bad. We never thought that we run into a Shichbukia here of all places," said Franky.
"We should run," said Chopper frightened at the prospect of facing a Shichbukia.
He had gotten stronger and braver during the two year separation but even he didn't believe he had what it took to take on a Shichbukai.
"That wouldn't work," replied Robin.
"Why?" asked Chopper.
"From what I heard about him during my time in the revolutionary army, this man is not only extremely strong, but extremely brutal. Running away from him is practically impossible," said Robin with sweat on her face.
"Then what should we do?" asked Chopper in panic.
"Isn't it obvious, we should fight," said Franky who looked ready to fight the powerful Shichbukai.
However before he could do anything he was suddenly frozen up.
"Wh – wh – what?" said Franky in shock that he couldn't move.
"Franky, what's going on?" asked Chopper seeing that his cyborg nakama couldn't move.
"I – I – I don't know. My whole body can't move," replied Franky still trying to move.
The two were interrupted by hysteric laughter. The three Straw Hats turned to the direction of the laughter to see that Doflamingo was laughing at Franky's misfortune. Furthermore his hand was out and his hand in a sort of hand sign like.
"Hahahahahaha look's like you can't do anything can you Cyborg Franky," said Doflamingo while still laughing.
"You, what did you do to Franky?" demanded Chopper.
"Me, nothing, as you could see, he's fine," replied Doflamingo mockingly.
"Quit screwing with me. What did you do to him?" demanded Chopper again.
"It's a devil fruit ability I'm assuming," replied Robin to Chopper's question.
"That's right. You catch on quick," replied Doflamingo.
"Let go of him," said Chopper who rushed towards him ready in heavy point ready to attack him.
"No Chopper, don't do it," cried out Robin in an attempt to stop her little now big doctor from doing something rash.
However it was too late as Chopper charged towards the Shichbukia in heavy point.
Suddenly he too was frozen by an invisible force.
"W – what, I – I – I can't move," said Chopper who too was trapped by an invisible force.
Doflamingo grinned at Chopper. This time he had two fingers out.
"You're quite a hot tempered gorilla aren't you. The cyborg didn't have any luck against me so it's obvious that you wouldn't either," said Doflamingo.
Robin seeing that her crewmates were in a dangerous predicament crossed her arms together to offer whatever assistance she could with her devil fruit powers.
"Seis Fl…," said Robin.
Before she could finish utter seis fleur she heard Doflamingo call out to her.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," said Doflamingo.
Robin looked at Doflamingo who himself wasn't fazed by her intense gaze.
"You who were on the run for twenty years from the world government should be smart enough to see that with the difference of power between the two of us, you couldn't do anything to me," said Doflamingo.
Robin despite wanting to help knew that he was right. This man was strong, so strong that it would probably take the entire crew to handle him. However she had to at least help her two crewmates at least.
"I see. It looks like you're right. At your level of strength we can't do much against you," said Robin.
"Robin," called out both Chopper and Franky both still unmoving due to Doflamingo.
"Well at least you have some common sense unlike those two," said Doflamingo shifting his gaze to her other two nakama.
Robin narrowed her eyes at the jab to her crewmates' current positions but knew she couldn't do anything about it. Not without the rest of the crew present.
"Now then perhaps you could tell me where the rest of your crewmates are," said Doflamingo.
"So he hasn't caught the others yet. That's good news. If we just be careful for now, then the others would rescue us," thought Robin in her mind.
"What do you mean?" asked Robin.
Robin decided for now the best she could do was buy some time by keeping Doflamingo occupied. Right now the crew was split up for information gathering purposes. Unfortunately the crew could only defeat Doflamingo together, which means that if he finds any of the groups, things would be very bad. So stalling him until the crew reunites would be the best decision.
"Oh don't play dumb with me Nico Robin. I know that the rest of the Straw Hats are here. After all it's well known that your crew always are together. Which means that if you three are here, then all of you are here," said Doflamingo.
"That's right, our nakama is here and they'll surely come here and rescue us," shouted Chopper.
"Yeah and they'll definitely kick your ass," shouted Franky.
"Ah, such faith in your nakama. It's good to see that the defection of your captain hasn't made the crew's faith waver in the slightest," replied Doflamingo.
Franky and Chopper both gritted their teeth in anger that the Shichbukia would use their captain's absence to insult them. Despite Luffy having left them they still saw him as nakama and even though what Doflamingo said was true, it still angered them that he would say it.
Robin herself despite her calm composure was also angry at Doflamingo but she couldn't do anything about it. Instead she opted to stay calm and think of a way of the situation that they were in.
"Yes, our bond has not faltered with Luffy's absence. In fact it has gotten stronger. And we'll surely get him back," said Robin.
"Get him back you say. Well from the look of his face from the newspaper I would say that he doesn't want to come back. He's happy as a revolutionary," said Doflamingo with his big grin.
"Luffy's our nakama and we'll definitely get him back!" shouted Chopper.
"Yeah, and let us down before I mess up you and your glasses," threatened Franky.
"Oh how scary you are threatening me like that," replied Doflamingo who obviously was not bothered by Franky.
"I'm afraid I can't have that" said Doflamingo darkly.
Robin seeing that Doflamingo was about to kill Franky crossed her arms.
"Sies Fleu," she said quickly before stopping.
"Now now I can't have you trying anything now can I," said Doflamingo who had a third finger out.
Robin realized that she was paralyzed like Chopper and Franky. Try as she might she couldn't move at all. Furthermore she couldn't use her devil fruit powers in the position that she was in.
"Robin too," said Chopper who was shocked that Robin was caught so easily.
From the time that Chopper met Robin, Robin was always someone who could get out of any situation. But right now her she was helpless in front of the man.
Robin still trying to grasp for straws looked at Doflamingo before asking.
"What is the revolutionary army doing here?" asked Robin finally.
"Hahahaha that's for me to know and for you to find out," replied Doflamingo.
"Now I'm afraid that you three are going to have to come with me," said Doflamingo to the captured three Straw Hats.
With Sanji, Nami, Pellinopee and Maxie
The two members of the Straw Hats along with the two members of Kaien kingdom walked out of the prison barracks. They were still trying to get over what they had learn't while inside the prison ward getting information from some of the prisoners inside.
"This isn't good. If what those guys said is true then things are really bad," said Nami gravely.
Sanji took a blow from his cigarette as he looked on.
"No kidding, I never would have thought things would have turned out like this," said Sanji.
Flashback
"Donquixito Doflamingo," said the slave.
Sanji, Nami, Pellinopee and Maxie all had shocked looks on their faces.
"Donquixto Doflamingo as in the member of the Shichbukai?" said Pellinopee in a shocked voice.
"The one and the same," replied another slave.
"What's a guy like that doing here?" asked Sanji.
"We don't know. All we know is that he is in charge of this slave camp," replied a slave.
"Damn, this doesn't look good. It's bad enough that this area belongs to an emperor but now we have to deal with a Shichbukia," said Sanji.
"Do you know if Doflamingo is allied with the revolutionary army?" asked Nami.
"The revolutionary army, what do they have to do with this place?" asked the slave back.
"So he doesn't know that the guys in charge of this place are actually revolutionaries," thought Nami mentally.
"I see, well then do you know if he's allied with Blackbeard?" asked Nami.
"We don't know for sure but we assume that he is. I personally cannot imagine anyone controlling Blackbeard's territory like this without being connected in some way to him," replied the slave.
"Makes sense. Taking over one of Blackbeard's territory like this is like a declaration of war on the emperor himself. No one would dare do something like that without being on his side," noted Maxie.
"Exactly. So we believe that he is in league with Blackbeard. That means that picking a fight with him would be like picking a fight with Blackbeard himself," replied the slave.
"So you didn't fight back for fear of Blackbeard," said Sanji catching on.
"Yes and no," replied the slave.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Sanji.
"Well it's true that part of the reason that we don't fight back is because of fear of incurring Blackbeard's wrath but it's not the main reason. The main reason is Doflamingo himself," said the slave.
"Yeah, that guy is just so strong that he could defeat all of us with ease," said another slave.
"That Shichbukia must really be something to have all the slaves like this," remarked Sanji.
"He is. Not only is he extremely strong, but absolutely ruthless. He has no sense of guilt or even a shred of sympathy. He'll kill without hesitation if we even show the slightest signs of uprising. In fact he even kills just for fun," said the slave.
"Sounds like this guy is a real psychopath," said Sanji blowing some smoke.
"He is a complete monster," said Pellinopee angrily.
Sanji, Nami, Maxie and several of the slaves turned to her direction when they heard her angry voice.
"What kind of person takes people as slaves and rules them so cruelly. Even if there pirates they don't deserve this," said Pellinopee angrily.
"Anyway I think that in order for us to free this island we'll definitely have to defeat Doflamingo," said Sanji.
"Seems so," said Nami.
Pellinopee walked towards the nearest cell of one of the slaves.
"Don't worry. We'll free you. All of you. We'll free my island from Doflamingo's control," said Pellinopee in both a reassuring and determined voice.
Nami, Sanji and Maxie all had smiles on their faces seeing Pellinopee's resolve.
End Flashback
"I still can't believe that a Shichbukai is here of all places," said Sanji.
"Yeah no kidding. And with Luffy no longer with us, it'll be tough," said Nami.
"Don't worry Nami-san, we'll come through," said Sanji reassuringly.
"I hope your right. I know that we all have gotten a lot stronger but before Luffy was always the one to take down the really strong guys. And now that he's gone it feels like we can't win anymore," said Nami.
It was true. Before Luffy used to take on the strongest foes and the rest we're left to the crew. Back at Alabasta, Luffy took on Crocodile while the rest of the crew handled the other Baroque Works agents while at Ennies Lobby Luffy took on Lucci while the rest of the crew took on the rest of CP9. It was always like that. Luffy always took on the strongest while the rest of the crew took on the others. However Luffy wasn't here anymore.
"Nami-san, it's like you said. We've all gotten stronger. So I'm sure that even with Luffy gone, we can still take down this guy," said Sanji reassured Nami.
"Yeah you're right," said Nami who felt a lot better.
Sanji smiled before a perverted look appeared on his face.
"I made Nami-san feel better. Soon she'll come to me to always make her feel better," thought Sanji with a perverted look on his face.
"And when I make her feel better, we may just," thought Sanji as his mind wandered to him and her doing all sorts of things.
Nami seeing the look on Sanji's face had an idea what he was thinking but decided not to do anything about it.
"That idiot," said Nami irritated.
"Um everyone, are you sure that you could defeat a Shichbukai," said Pellinopee worriedly.
"Don't worry your head off. These guys are all really strong. Their going to defeat Doflamingo," said Nami reassuring Pellinopee of the crew's strength much like how Sanji reassured her.
"Anyway right now Doflamingo himself isn't what's bothering me," said Nami.
Sanji, Pellinopee and Maxie all had confused looks. That showed that they wanted to know what was confusing her.
"This island is suppose to be Blackbeard's territory. And Blackbeard has a slave concentration camp on it. Yet revolutionaries are in charge of it. Furthermore Donquixto Doflamingo is in charge of the camp." Said Nami.
"Just what is the connection between Blackbeard, Dragon and Doflamingo. What does an emperor, a revolutionary and a Shichbukai have in common," said Nami.
Sanji, Pellinopee and Maxie all had thoughtful looks just like Nami. This was all becoming a bigger mystery. Just what do these three factions all on opposing sides have in common? Why are they on this island? Why do they have a slave camp here? Why are they even working together? What do they want? So many questions revealed themselves when they agreed to liberate this island.
"Yeah this is really becoming confusing. I don't know whose the enemy, Blackbeard, the revolutionaries or Doflamingo" said Sanji.
"This is Blackbeard's territory. The slave camp is overseen by the revolutionary army. So is the one who's really taken over my island Blackbeard or the revolutionary army," asked Pellinopee?
"I'm just as confused as you are Pellinopee-sama. I always thought that Blackbeard was the one who's taken over this island. But now I don't know anymore. All I now is that someone has taken over our homeland and that they must be stopped," said Maxie in a determined voice.
Pellinopee nodded in equal determination. It didn't matter who was responsible. All that mattered was that her homeland was freed.
"Still for now we don't know what those three want. And finding out what just might be the key to freeing Kaien," said Nami.
"I think that the revolutionary army is in charge of the base only. Blackbeard however is in controll of the rest of the island. That's the best explanation that I could come up with," said Nami.
"That makes sense but it still it doesn't explain what that Shichbukai has to do with all this," said Maxie.
"I don't know but I think that since he's the strongest enemy that's currently on this island, then he's the main enemy," remarked Nami.
"So I guess all we have to do is beat him up," said Sanji.
"I don't think it's that simple but we'll have to defeat him in order to free Kaien," replied Nami.
"If that's the case then I can handle that," said Sanji pointing his thumb towards himself with a grin.
"I think it's best if we reunite with the rest of the crew and tell them all we know. After that we can decide how to proceed forward," said Nami.
"Good idea," replied Maxie.
While the four of them we're continuing to walk around they heard a group of revolutionaries talking. Deciding to hear what they have to say in case it was useful, they stayed near the group. Since they were in disguise it was easy to get close to them and listen to what they were saying.
"Did you hear?" asked the revolutionary.
"Hear what?" asked the other revolutionary.
"Three of the Straw Hat Pirates were caught," said the revolutionary.
"You're kidding right. The Straw Hats. As in the crew that was captained by Dragon-sama's son?" asked the other revolutionary in shock.
"Yes the one and the same, three of their crew has been caught by Doflamingo-sama," replied the revolutionary.
"Which three anyway?" asked the revolutionary.
"I believe that it was Devil Child Nico Robin, Cotton Candy Lover Chopper and Cyborg Franky," said the revolutionary.
"Wow so three members of the infamous Straw Hats were caught. That sure is big," replied the revolutionary.
"No way, Robin, Franky and Chopper were caught," said Nami quietly in shock.
She, Sanji, Pellinopee and Maxie continued to eavesdrop on the small group of revolutionaries.
"By the way do you know what they were here for?" asked the revolutionary.
"No but I think we're going to find out," replied the revolutionary.
"So if those three are here then do you think that the rest of the crew is here as well?" asked the revolutionary.
"Most likely. The base has already deployed troops to scan the base for any signs of the intruders," replied the revolutionary.
"Damn that means that they know we're here?" muttered Nami quietly.
"That's not good. There now going to be looking for us," said Sanji.
"I think that it's because Franky and Chopper couldn't disguise themselves that they were caught," noted Nami.
"Brooke isn't disguised as well which means that chances are he would be caught as well especially now that everyone knows that we're here," replied Sanji.
"So what are we going to do?" asked Pellinopee.
"Isn't it obvious," replied Sanji softly.
Nami, Pellinopee and Maxie turned to look at Sanji. Sanji finally looked up before shouting.
"We're going to rescue Robin-chwan!" shouted Sanji who immediately took off in a random direction looking for Robin.
"Robin-chwan!" shouted Sanji who continued running off.
"That idiot!" shouted Nami harshly at Sanji's stupidity.
The group of revolutionaries who were talking about Robin's capture saw Sanji running away while shouting "Robin-chwan" looked confused. Because of Sanji's disguise, they still didn't know that he was actually a member of the Straw Hats and instead mistook him for a revolutionary who seemed to have gone nuts.
"Hey you what are you doing?" shouted one of the revolutionaries who began running after Sanji.
"What's up with this guy," said another of the revolutionaries running behind him.
"Let's just follow him and catch him," said another.
"Damn that idiot," said Nami who began running after Sanji as well.
Maxie and Pellinopee began running after him as well.
Eventually Nami caught him with a group of revolutionaries that first spotted him.
"Listen guys I have a plan to deal with this guy," said Nami to the group of revolutionaries she caught up with.
"What is it?" asked one of the revolutionaries still running after him.
"That is all of you," said Nami who sprouted a cat like grin.
Suddenly all the revolutionaries were electrocuted and all just dropped unconscious from Nami's attack.
"Drop dead," said Nami who winked and stuck her tongue out.
She then continued running after the wayward cook.
"Robin-chwan!" shouted Sanji has he continued running in a random direction looking for his beloved Robin-chwan.
Eventually a large group of revolutionaries found him.
"Stop him!" shouted one of the revolutionaries.
However the revolutionaries just found out how futile that was as he just ran over them like a bowling ball knocking them all down. He didn't even seem to know they were there in the first place. The revolutionaries were all knocked out cold.
"Robin-chwan!" shouted Sanji again as he continued running around like a headless chicken.
"What's with this guy?" asked Maxie as he looked on astonished at Sanji's strength and stupidity.
"Long story short, he's a complete moron, especially around women," replied Nami with a large sweatdrop.
"Robin-chwan where are you?" shouted Sanji again who ran into a random building.
While running, another group of revolutionaries stood in his path. This time Sanji seemed to have snapped out of his love love rampage and finally noticed the revolutionaries in front of him.
"You what the hell do you think you're doing to the others?" demanded one of the revolutionaries.
Sanji looked confused until he realized that he was still in disguise as a revolutionary. He took the revolutionary clothes revealing himself in his usual suit.
"Man it feels good to be out of that thing," remarked Sanji.
"That's Black Leg Sanji of the Straw Hat Pirates," said one of the revolutionaries.
"Of course, Doflamingo-sama caught Devil Child Nico Robin, Cotton Candy Lover Chopper and Cyborg Franky. So it's obvious that Black Leg Sanji should be here," said another revolutionary.
"He's probably here to rescue his three crewmates," said another revolutionary.
Soon Nami, Pellinopee and Maxie caught up to Sanji and saw that he was no longer in disguise.
"Sanji-san took off his disguise," said Pellinopee.
"I guess there's no helping it," remarked Nami since Sanji was exposed, then they all were exposed as well.
So Nami decided to take of her revolutionary clothes, something that was followed by Pellinopee and Maxie.
"Cat Burglar Nami of the Straw Hats. And that's princess Pellinopee of Kaien," said the revolutionary.
"What's she doing with the Straw Hats?" asked a random revolutionary.
"Who cares, she's can enemy so we have to capture here," said another revolutionary.
"Hey you shitty bastards. Where are you holding Robin-chwan?" asked Sanji.
"The Devil Child. Like we'll tell you," replied one of the revolutionary.
Sanji lit his cigarette and looked at the group. Taking a puff, he said,
"I see if that's the case then," said Sanji taking a puff of his cigarette.
Sanji then began beating up all the revolutionaries.
"You bastards, you're trying to keep Robin-chwan away from me," said Sanji angrily has he continued to beat up.
Eventually he beat up the irritating revolutionaries and continued to run ahead like a mad man.
"Robin-chwan. Where are you? You're knight is coming to save you," said Sanji as he continued running off with Nami, Pellinopee and Maxie following behind.
Sanji continued running when he stopped suddenly. The other three caught him to him and stopped in shock when they saw Sanji stop so suddenly.
"Sanji-kun why did you," said Nami before stopping her sentence upon seeing Sanji's face.
Right now he was no longer in his love love mode. Right now Sanji was serious evident by the hard look on his face and the sharp look in his eyes.
"Sanji-kun," said Nami confused before turning her attention to Sanji's line of sight.
Pellinopee and Maxie like Nami followed Sanji's line of sight to a lone figure that stood fearlessly in front of them. It was then that the three understood the reason for Sanji snapping out of his stupid love rampage and was now serious. For in front of them was none other than the one in charge of the slave camp here, the Shichbukai himself.
"Doflamingo," thought Sanji, Nami, Pellinopee and Maxie.
Oh boy, just as Robin and co got captured, Sanji and his group have the unfortunate luck of running into him as well. Please review, I love to hear them.
Doflamingo's powers are based on his fingers. He could use each finger to control an enemy. So to stop Franky, Robin and Chopper he used three fingers. He can control a total of ten people since he has ten fingers. And the Straw Hats have less than ten people so it's fine. Even then he could only control 10 people, he could easily defeat a lot more than ten people.
Sanji is an idiot and would naturally go nuts if he heard Robin got caught.
Robin was somewhat knowledgeable about Doflamingo before the time skip. However during her time with the army, she gained a lot of knowledge on the world. As a result of this, she knew quite a lot about Doflamingo to identify him and know that she wouldn't be able to defeat him. Of course Dragon made sure to keep his revolutionary status secret, not just from her but from a good portion of the army and the rest of the world. Ivankov who is dead for example would not be happy knowing that someone as ruthless as Doflamingo was his nakama. Also if the world government found out that one of their Shichbukai is a revolutionary, it would cause problems.
Likewise because of her knowledge about him, she knew that the only way to beat him is if the crew was together which was why she was employing stalling tactics to buy time.
The pirate slaves don't know that Doflamingo is allied with the revolutionary army. In fact they don't even know that the slavers are revolutionaries at all. They simply think that they are just Blackbeard's men and that they are all just wearing cloaks. Remember the revolutionary army up until the invasion was a very mysterious group and they still are. Most people don't even know what they look like so it's natural that they wouldn't know that the men are revolutionaries.
The slaves simply believe that Doflamingo is either one of Blackbeard's subordinates or is allied with him since this is one of his islands. No one not even a Shichbukia would just take over this place without dealing with Blackbeard, weather it be taking him out or allying with him.
The Shichbukai Doflamingo, the emperor Blackbeard, the revolutionary Dragon, just what is the connection between the three of them? We already know, Doflamingo is a revolutionary commander, Blackbeard is a Knight of D and Dragon is the supreme leader of the revolutionary army. However the crew doesn't know this so it is becoming a bigger mystery to them. And they have to be concerned because Blackbeard being the only living emperor is currently the strongest pirate while Dragon being the revolutionary leader is now the ruler of the world ever since the invasion. The two most powerful factions in the world are allied. Throw in a Shichbukia and you've got something big.
For now they were able to deduce that the island belongs to Blackbeard but the base belongs to the revolutionary army. This supports what Robin deduced in the previous chapter about there being an alliance between the Blackbeard Pirates and the revolutionary army. Of course they don't know the whole story. Since Blackbeard allowed the revolutionary army to construct a base, specifically a slave camp on the island then naturally there would be an alliance between the two.
Regardless of what they deduce, they can't seem to figure out what Doflamingo has to do with all this. We know that he is a revolutionary commander, but the crew doesn't.
Robin met several of the commanders, though most of the ones she met are dead after the purging of the army. She obviously never met Doflamingo. Dragon kept that secret from her for obvious reasons. She obviously never met all the revolutionary commanders since several of them such as Doflamingo are exceptionally ruthless. He naturally made sure that Robin didn't meet any of these more ruthless revolutionaries since it would make her question why Dragon would allow such people in his army. These commanders are also going to be a major antagonist group in this fic along with the Knights of D.
The Straws really have their work cut out for them. Not only are there facing the Knights of D, but also the revolutionary commanders and the army itself. Add in their own beloved captain and Dragon, the strongest being in the world, they are going to have a really tough time.
