A Family of Outlaws

Chapter Fourteen: Viva Revolution

When Kagome and Dragon separated from the Strawhat crew they took an extra day to themselves before heading to the revolutionary army. Sabo was waiting for them when Shadow finally landed on the island. "Everyone is in place and has given the ready signal," he reported. Sabo matched the pace of Dragon and Kagome as they entered the building. "We only need your word and we can announce our intentions to the world."

Dragon nodded his head with a smirk. "Very good," he said. "Let's not waste anymore time. The more chaos we can weave into the ranks of the marines the better. It will give Luffy and his crew plenty of opportunity to reach their goals." Dragon led the way to his chambers. He held the door open for Kagome to step through. He then turned to Sabo. "Be ready to broadcast in ten minutes. I want to change into something more fitting for war then a traveling robe." Sabo nodded and headed off to get ready.

In the room, Kagome was pacing back and forth. "I should have gone with them," she muttered. "Rock isn't known for being flexible. His name is Rock for crying out loud. As in unmovable and hard."

"Rain's father and grandmother are on their side," Dragon soothed. "They'll make sure that nothing happens to Luffy that can't be undone. Besides, as admirable as it is to protect one's sister I can't believe that Rock would deny Rain of her happiness. You need to put a little more faith in the younger generation."

"Truth be told I have a lot of things running through my mind now," Kagome admitted. "The main thing being Rock and Luffy. I'm also worried about this broadcast of yours. What if it doesn't reach around the world like you hope it would? What if it's traced back to this island? What if they already know where this island is and are just waiting to ambush? People paying attention to the broadcast would be enough to catch us off guard to make the ambush a success. What if..."

"Hush Kagome," Dragon stopped his wife with two fingers to her lips. "If you keep thinking about the 'what ifs' then the 'what is' will pass you by. I have faith that Hiccup will not let harm come to Luffy. At least no harm that's lethal. You've known them for several years. You've raised Rock and Rain. Those two had the best role model they could have had. I'm sure that Rock will take into consideration that Luffy is your son. He might just give his blessing to Luffy to continue a relationship with Rain based on that. In either event, do you really think that you raised a man to be so heartless and cruel as to make his sister suffer in loneliness?"

"Well no, Rock wouldn't hurt Rain at all."

"Then trust in that," Dragon continued. "Trust that Rock will behave in the way that you raised him and that everything will be fine." Kagome let out a deep breath and nodded. "Good, now let's get out of these traveling clothes. We have a declaration of war to make and should look the part."

Sabo walked behind Caesar Clown as he and two others were leading him to the broadcast center. "You will admit to everything that happened on Punkhazard," Sabo was ordering. "That you were responsible for the explosion four years ago, kidnapped those children, performed experiments on them and that you were the one that created S.M.I.L.E. Failure to do any of those will not be a pleasant experience for you." To emphasize his point, Sabo held a flame in his hand.

"Alright already, I get the point." Ceasar had a pout on his face. "You don't have to be so mean to me all the time."

"While we're at it," Sabo continued. He let the flame go out as he lowered his hand. "You also need to mention your connection to Doflomingo and his role as the criminal mastermind Joker."

"Do I look like I have a death wish?" Ceasar winced when Sabo brought his hand back up with the fire. "Fine, I'll do it, but it's under protest."

"Noted," Sabo let out a grin over his victory. The rest of the walk was done in silence. Once they got there, Sabo chained Ceasar to a chair off to the side, but within the projector snail's turn radius. A blank, dark green wall was the focal point of everything in the room.

The Revolutionaries that were in charge of the broadcast didn't have to wait for very long before Dragon and Kagome made their entrance. Dragon was wearing a black shirt under his usual green robe. The hood was down, showing his chiseled features. Kagome stood next to him in her priestess robes, her bow in hand and a quiver full of arrows strapped to her back. The two looked like they meant business.

When the two were ready, Dragon nodded to Sabo. Sabo gave the team the signal to interrupt all the other transponder and projector snails. Once he was given the sign for success he started the projector snail that would send Dragon and Kagome's message around the world. He then nodded to Dragon when it was ready.

"My name is Monkey D. Dragon," he announced. "This is my wife, Kagome. We are the leaders of the Revolutionary Army against the World Government and its nobles. Recently we have come to have in our custody a very dangerous person that was responsible for the explosion on Punkhazard four years ago, Ceasar Clown."

Sabo turned the snail so that it was now looking at their prisoner. "Say 'hello' to the world Ceasar," Dragon ordered.

"I am Ceasar Clown," Ceasar admitted. "It's true that it was I that caused the explosion on Punkhazard. I am also the one responsible for several cases of missing children. I had them kidnapped and brought to me to perform experiments on." Ceasar then clamped his mouth refusing to say anything further, already knowing that little information would have him condemned.

"What else have you done Ceasar?" Kagome demanded. Her reiki flared, making Ceasar flinch at the threat despite it not reaching him.

"I'm also the one that created an artificial Devil Fruit called S.M.I.L.E. My benefactor, Joker, has been selling it on the Black Market."

"Who, exactly, is Joker?" Dragon asked.

"Joker's real name is Don Quixote Doflomingo."

~ In a hut, somewhere on a remote island, a glass could be heard shattering. Doflomingo, still bandaged from his fight against Strawhat, was glaring and growling at the image of Ceasar. Now the Marines would start chasing him down and not ignore his actions as they had done in the past. There was truly no safe place for him to go any longer.

~ Sabo turned the snail back to face Dragon and Kagome once Ceasar finished his speech. "As terrible as those things are, it pales in comparison to what the Celestial Dragons have done over the eight hundred years they have held power," Dragon seethed. "How many innocent people were killed for simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time? I doubt we could even begin counting. How many others were sold into slavery? Children slaughtered just because they didn't understand that the Celestial Dragons think that they're better than everyone else in the world? The actions of Doflomingo were ignored by the approval of the Celestial Dragons. How much longer will you good people of the world tolerate these people walking all over you?

"If you truly look at a Celestial Dragon, they're not some mystical creäture. They're human, just like the rest of us. They need to eat, breathe and drink to stay alive like the rest of us. If you cut them, they will bleed like us. They can be killed just as easily as they have killed others. There's nothing special that holds them above us. They have ancestors that created the World Government that rules us. Those ancestors have been dead for a long time. What have the Celestial Dragons since then done to better the world? The answer to that is simple, nothing. The only thing that they do is revel in their own perceived self-importance and sow misery into the lives of those around them."

Dragon stopped in his rant and gestured for Sabo to join him. He had Sabo stand in front of him as he put his hand on his shoulder. "This young man's name is Sabo. He comes from the same island as my son, Luffy. The two of them used to play together. Sabo was born into a noble family that he ran away from. However, it was unfortunate that he crossed paths with a Celestial Dragon when he was only a ten-year-old child. He was in a raft he had built trying to escape from his life as a noble. The Celestial Dragon had his ship blown out of the water with the intent on killing the child on board. Obviously Sabo survived, but not without a reminder of the atrocities committed against him. The scar above his left eye is a constant reminder for him. It took all the healer's skill and medical knowledge to not only save Sabo's life, but to make sure that he didn't lose his eye. He is only one example of the cruelty performed against the common people. In the end, no justice was ever sought after by Sabo's birth parents. They allowed their son to be 'killed' without seeking retribution."

Dragon paused a moment to let all that sink into the people of the world. "This cruelty without punishment has gone on for far too long. We of the Revolutionary Army are declaring war against the World Government, Celestial Dragons and all world nobles. We demand you step down from power and give control to the common people. Should you fail to surrender peacefully and continue to treat others as if they are less than human, we will gladly rip you from your positions and hold you accountable for each and every atrocity committed according to the laws you've placed on the common people."

~ All across the world Marine bases were scrambling, trying to find a way to cancel the transmission. Nobles were demanding that they put a stop to it at once. Nothing they did seemed to help. The controls that would have ended the transmission weren't working. Once the declaration of war was spoken marine ships started sinking or exploding. Several ships would lower their sails, only to discover that their steering had been tampered with and they had no control of the ship. Still in other places, communications had been cut off from one base to the next. All of this was sabotage done by Revolutionists that had been placed strategically within the ranks of the marines and have waited for the signal. Some of them had waited for several years for the signal.

In some cities the nobles were cut off from the rest of the city and from the Marine Bases. When the nobles tried to get their slaves to do something about the blockades they found that their slaves had disappeared from under their noses. The Revolutionists had become paid servants of the nobles for the sole purpose of freeing the slaves just before the blockades were put up.

~ Dragon had a satisfied smirk when the broadcast was finished. He led Kagome and Sabo to the war conference room. The leaders of the army would be waiting for them there. "All those years spent away from you and Luffy are finally coming to fruition. With the odds on our side, we will soon have equality for all people of the world and no one would ever have to worry about looking at the wrong person cross-eyed ever again."

To all my readers out there. I would like your opinion on a one shot story. It's a One Piece/Inuyasha cross-over. I don't want to give away the plot or too much other information. So my one question is, should Rain be in that story as well? I know a few of you like her in this story as a character and I was just wondering if you wanted to see her in other stories as well.
