Chapter 27: Rescuing the Royal Family Part 2
Dressrosa Palace: Throne Room
The throne room of the Dressrosa Palace had been remodelled in the past two days since the hostile takeover of the Kingdom. Gone were the royal curtains, carpet and thrones now replaced by a stone room with four card suit-shaped chairs. Sitting in the chair marked Joker was a single man of towering height. The man was ten feet in height with an arrogant, smug grin plastered on his features with light blond-haired, while being very lean and muscular with tan skin. The towering giant was dressed in openly flamboyant clothing that gave him the appearance of a flamingo of sorts. The most eyeing of what he wore was the giant pink feather coat and orange tinted glasses
What was strange about the man was not just his clothing but that he was seated on top of the chair. Who was this man? He was Donquixote Doflamingo one of the Oka Shichibukai (Royal Seven Martial Seas), one of the seven powerful and notorious pirates who had allied with the World Government. Doflamingo went by many names nicknamed the Heavenly Yaska by the Government but was also known as the influential underworld broker "Joker'. Doflamingo had led his crew to Dressrosa, framed the King controlling King Riku Dold III through the user of his devil fruit powers to make the man and his army attack the civilians. Through this power it had allowed Doflamingo's crew to swoop in like hero's to stop them. With this Doflamingo led a rebellion and took over the kingdom dethroning King Riku.
In the room accompanying the man were guard's plastered along the walls and directly opposite him two women. The first was on her knees glaring daggers at the man. The girl was only twenty or so years of age with black side-parted hair that was chin-length in a bob style held by a pink hair band, wearing a long black dress that had a frilly bottom. Behind the girl was a slightly older woman with green hair dressed in only blue bloomers and a blue-white striped shirt.
Doflamingo's lips parted revealing a twisted smile, escaping forth was a laugh that made the young girl's spine shiver in fear, "Fuffuffuffuffuffuffu." Piercing eyes cut through the girl's body making her gulp while looking up at the powerful being before her.
The man hopped down from the chair and threw his arms out dramatically, "Monet I thank you for bringing dear Viola to me." The green haired woman, Monet bowed in thanks to her Captain, feeling the gratitude in his words.
Doflamingo approached Viola and reached out with a hand to caress her right cheek, "Viola you have my thanks without you I couldn't have taken back what was rightfully mine, Fuffuffuu." The pirate licked his lips causing the girl to recoil, but she continued to glare.
"Thanks? My thanks! I curse you!" The girl than spat at Doflamingo, a wad of spit landed on his right cheek making the pirate frown. A hand came down and struck across the girl's right cheek, "Kya!" Viola cried out as the slap rang out and she hit the floor with a thud. Doflamingo had struck her without hesitation. Behind Viola, Monet clenched her fists in rage, if Doflamingo hadn't slapped the girl Monet might have done worse.
"You're lucky I don't kill you. You have your uses. Your special power is unique, and I need it." Doflamingo retreated to his throne and sat down in the chair, folding the right leg over the left. The man walked with an odd bow-legged waddle.
"Join my crew. If you do, I will spare your father's pitiful life." Viola looked up as the pirate laughed with sick glee. Threatening her to join his crew by using the life of her father, it sickened Viola, but was there any choice? Viola loved her father and if to keep him alive meant she must serve this twisted man, then so be it.
"I ag…" before Viola could finish the entire kingdom shook as a loud explosion rang out, followed by more.
Doflamingo grabbed his chair to steady himself, "What is going on!" Roared the pirate, what had caused the palace to shake like this. At his cry, a guard came running into the room. "Doflamingo-sama an explosion has gone off in the armoury! It is up in flames, and the fire is rapidly spreading!" The guard said in a panicked tone before more guard raced in.
"Sir, a building has collapsed in the centre of the Kingdom. There's debris and smoke everywhere. Reports say Diamante-sama is in battle.
"We are getting reports in from all over at guard stations north, west, east and south each has gone up in flames!"
"Trebel-sama, Pica-sama are putting all efforts force to extinguish the fires!"
Doflamingo gritted his teeth, who dared to attack his kingdom like this. Doflamingo slammed a fist on the right arm of his throne, "Monet, attend to Diamante. Guard's call the other's, find out what's happening!" The pirate issued orders, a thick killer intent rolling off his body. Once he had whoever dared to cause such a disturbance to his kingdom, they would be tortured until they wished they were dead.
Relaxing into the chair, Doflamingo watched on as the guard's departed to deal with the orders given. Monet followed after racing out into the pouring rain to support Diamante. Diamante had been with Doflamingo for over thirty years now, and the Shichibukai had confidence the man wouldn't need the support, but the pirate had a bad feeling.
Turning focus back to Viola, Doflamingo carried on before he was interrupted, "Do you swear allegiance?" asked slash demanded the pirate while looking at Viola with a dark foreboding look as if the moment she accepted the young girl would deeply regret it. Viola didn't know, but Doflamingo had plans for the girl, who was developing into quite the attractive woman. Doflamingo was a pirate and had done countless acts that would make your skin crawl, so there was no doubt in what he had in mind for the young girl. The pirate found her to his liking and intended to keep her close, incredibly so.
Before Viola could answer, a whistling noise drew Doflamingo attention. Raising his right arm, a loud clang rang out as a metal kunai collided with a blackened arm, transformed with Busoshoku Haki. The pirate felt pain as the knife dug into flesh even with the protection, as the kunai was surrounded in a strange blue aura. Growling Doflamingo pulled it out, throwing it aside. Looking ahead as a black blur appeared in the room, the knife was discarded, Doflamingo noticing a purple tint covering the tip.
The black blur soon landed in front of Viola. The blur was a woman by their figure, one with a seductive body, dressed all in black wearing a black mask with a strange white web-like design on the front. Long black hair cascaded down the woman's back as she stood up. On each shoulder guard, she wore, was a swirl symbol that matched the headband around her forehead placed to keep hair out of their eyes.
"Who are you!" demanded Doflamingo, the guard's stationed in the room quickly took on a defensive stance, drawing their swords and pointing them at the unknown woman.
The woman ignored Doflamingo and glanced back to Viola, "Viola-san. I have been sent to retrieve you and bring you to safety." The woman's voice was heavenly, like an angel's and soothed the guard's making them relax.
"I-I can't my father" Viola couldn't leave, not when her father was still here, "If I leave, Doflamingo will kill him."
"There is nothing to fear; your father will soon be safe. My companions are headed in his direction." The masked woman reassured Viola, the woman's gentle words made everyone think she was giving a charming smile under that mask.
"Take her away? You won't leave here alive!" Doflamingo leapt up from his chair seeming to hover in mid-air, raised a left arm and slashed down. Coming out of Doflamingo's fingertips appeared five white strings that shot towards the woman with the intent to slice her to pieces.
The black masked woman drew the tanto from her back. The blade hummed as a thin blue aura formed around it. Swinging the sword it was brought into the path of the incoming string, and to Doflamingo's surprise, the tanto cut clean through the hardened thread like a hot knife through butter. Wind nature chakra had been channelled into the blade increasing its sharp edge.
"Bakana (Impossible)!" Doflamingo was in disbelief that such a tiny blade could cleave his strings. Without hesitation, Doflamingo slashed the air again, this time with both hands launching ten strings that layered over one another to increase their tensile strength.
Holding the blade in a reverse grip, the woman raised it into the path of the incoming strings. String met metal as the two collided, causing the ground beneath the woman to shake. Digging her feet in the woman stood fast, blocking the combined piece of string effortlessly. The strings pressed down, but the woman replied in kind pushing up with the tanto slowly but surely cutting through each layer of string until they were all cut through and fell harmlessly around her. The masked woman drew out a pair of needles from her hip pouch, with a flick of her free hand four needles went sailing towards Doflamingo.
The Tenryuubito sneered and flicked his wrist launching five razor-sharp pieces of string towards the incoming needles. White string hit the needles severing them in half; tiny seals lit up all along the senbon. Smoke poured out and flying out of the smoke was over a hundred senbon needles. The needles rained down towards Doflamingo each coated in a layer of chakra. The pirate swiped a hand, changing the direction of the string to cut the incoming needles to pieces. But each time a needle was sliced more came into existence, forcing Doflamingo to defend with both hands, creating a wall of string. The wall of string wasn't fast enough, and the needles rained down on Doflamingo, bouncing off his body as he defended with Busoshoku Haki, turning skin metallic black.
Doflamingo growled, and with a flex, a wave of force erupted from his body pushing the needles away sending them clattering onto the ground. The man was so angry and his attention was purely on the woman. The pirate captain swung both arms launching one hundred razor sharp wires of string. The wires overlapped twisting around one another creating ten thick pieces of string that shot towards the woman with the intent to impale through her. The kunoichi showed no signs of worry as she swung the wind coated tanto into the path of the large piece of string cutting it in two. With a slash, a gust of wind was expelled from the tanto creating dozens of wind blades that shredded the multiple pieces of string apart, letting them fall around her harmlessly.
With a swipe, the woman took a step back and brought both hands together in the shape of a cross, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Three puffs of smoke surrounded the woman and when the smoke cleared there were three more identical versions of her. The four masked women stood in formation one in the middle, one to the right, left and one at the back. Giving a signal, the clone at the back turned around, grabbed Viola and vanished in a swirl of water.
"No!" Doflamingo roared out in anger not expecting them to take Viola away. "DIE! Oubahito (Over Heart)!" Doflamingo lashed out shooting a thick rope of string the size of a tree trunk from the palm of his right hand. The string rope shot forward towards the three masked women with the intention of splitting them in half. With a flick of a wrist, the rope curved out like a whip. The three masked women blocked the incoming rope string with their tantos, each glowing a light shade of blue. Wind nature chakra when refined to a certain point, there was nothing it couldn't cut through, the three women used this sharpness to block the string. With a push, the rope was sliced into four segments.
The three women kicked off launching towards Doflamingo. The one on the right and left overtook the woman in the middle, darting towards Doflamingo and crossed over in front of each other. The two used their left hand to draw four kunai each and throw them. The eight kunai sailed towards Doflamingo who slashed the air cutting them to pieces. The two women dashed in closing the distant, jumping up and with a thrust pushed their tantos towards the pirate's chest. Doflamingo's chest hardened with haki as string poured out wrapping around his torso for added protection.
Wind coated the swords tips, increasing the sharpness of its edge to the point the tanto cut through the string with ease, Doflamingo's eyes widened as the tip of the blade was felt against his chest. Pain followed as the blade's start pushing in. Swiping the air string erupted out from every part of his body. The string curved and pierced through the two women from every angle. The women burst into smoke clouding Doflamingo's view. Flying out of the smoke was a dozen paper bombs lit by a small fuse.
String came out of Doflamingo's body quickly slicing them in half. But the moment they were sliced in two, smoke spilt out of a tag that he hadn't seen on the bomb, the smoke was thick as it poured out encompassing a wide area. The pirate sneered raising an arm to wave the smoke out of his eyes. Behind those shades, the flamboyant pirate caught sight of dozens of paper bombs falling through the air. The first wave of bombs had been a cover, hiding the second wave. The fuse hit the end, and the bombs began to glow exploding before Doflamingo could stop them. Skin turned pitch black, as Doflamingo used haki to protect himself. The explosion sent the pirate cascading into a wall with a loud thud; the wall crumbled away collapsing onto him.
"Doflamingo-sama!" The guard's roared, running over taking up a defensive formation in front of their fallen king. The pirate growled in anger, pushing debris aside, standing up Doflamingo towered over the guards. The smoke cleared and stepping out of it was the masked woman, tossing a paper bomb up and down in her left hand. The woman grabbed the bomb and threw it towards the group. The guard's sweated as the bomb drew closer before it opened up and a thick green gas flew out. The gas engulfed the group, and a foul stench wafted up. The guards began to cough, hack and gag, tears spilling from their eyes as they clutched at their throat's. The smell burnt everything the moment it was inhaled; it was like nothing they had ever smelt. Doflamingo even recoiled in disgust, using an arm to cover his mouth.
The woman charged forward while they were caught off guard by the stink bomb. In a puff of smoke, a scroll appeared in her right hand. The woman tossed the scroll, and it opened in mid-air. A puff of smoke came from the scroll before shooting out of the smoke was hundreds of shuriken coated in chakra. The guards screamed as the shuriken cut them down. The shuriken controlled by chakra avoided the vital areas of the guard's ensuring they lived another day. The guards were just ordinary men blinded by what Doflamingo had done to their King; they didn't deserve to die. Shuriken cut through the ranks and poured on towards Doflamingo. The pirate reinforced his body with haki. The shuriken pelted his body making the pirate stumble back from the force behind them. The shurikens sharpened with chakra cut into flesh leaving noticeable marks. This served only to anger Doflamingo. Even with Busoshoku Haki the shuriken had still managed to wound him, that's because the shuriken was not made of ordinary steel. The metal from Uzushiogakure was created with the aid of nature chakra, allowing nature chakra to linger inside when forged. There was nothing nature chakra couldn't touch.
The masked woman moved amongst the fallen guards darting straight towards Doflamingo. The pirate was too distracted by the incoming shuriken he didn't have time to properly retaliate. A blade zoomed in towards Doflamingo's forehead intending to pierce through his skull. A string shot out, grabbing a piece of debris and threw it into the incoming blade, knocking it off course. Glasses fell to the ground, and blood sprayed through the air as Doflamingo stumbled into the fallen debris, clutching his left eye, "AAH!"
The woman jumped back out of the foul gas, tanto in her right hand dripping with blood. At the tip of the blade rested a freshly plucked eye. Doflamingo roared in pain mixed with pure anger. Climbing to his feet, the pirate glared dagger at the woman. Moving a hand away, where his left eye once was, only a hole remained, blood pouring from it. The Shichibukai had attempted to shield with Busoshoku Haki, but it was useless against the wind covered blade.
"Die!" The enraged pirate pointed his left hand, dripping with blood, making a gun shape. Firing from the tip of the finger came a bullet made entirely of string. In rapid succession, a dozen bullets followed behind.
The masked woman sidestepped around each bullet, evading with ease. If she weren't wearing a mask, Doflamingo would no that she was wearing a smug grin. With a flick of a wrist, the woman threw the eyeball off the tanto blade and into the path of an incoming bullet. The string bullet hit the eyeball where the fleshy eye exploded. The act only served to enrage Doflamingo further, who kicked off the ground, launching himself at her. Doflamingo lifted his right leg, string forming along the back before it was brought down. The woman jumped back, avoiding the axe kick as it hit the ground, making it crack on impact. Placing a hand on the ground, the stone floor rippled before turning into string. Two large thick sheets of string shot up into the air and curved towards the woman intending to cut her to ribbons.
The woman shifted the hold of her tanto and slashed the air with it, "Futon: Kazekiri (Wind Release: Wind Cutter)!" With two slashes of the tanto, two curved blades of wind were fired. The blades of wind intercepted the incoming sheets of string slicing them in two at the middle.
Doflamingo growled as he could feel the woman smiling smugly under that damn mask of hers. How he just wanted to tear it from her face. This woman was infuriating, and no matter what he did it seemed as if he couldn't touch her, every single move was perfectly countered. The string Doflamingo used was hacked to pieces; it was almost like this woman was his natural weakness. String shot out from beneath the pirate's feet, and he shot forward, while his right arm transformed turning black thanks to Busoshoku Haku. The pirate decided on a frontal assault. Getting in close the arm shot forward, hand clenched into a fist, with the full intent of hitting the woman square in the mask, there was enough force behind it to easily shatter the mask and make a mess of her face.
The woman wouldn't allow it to happen; a dainty foot touched the ground beneath her. Wind began to rapidly circulate around her body, "Fuuton: Kaiten (Wind Release: Revolving Heaven)!"Wind spun in a clockwise direction engulfing the woman's body forming a spiralling protective dome. The fist met wind and ground against the natural element but was unable to pierce through the veil.
"Fuuton: Kaiten Funka (Wind Release: Revolving Heaven Eruption)!" The spinning of the wind dome grew, becoming more violent as the dome expanded out. The dome expanded rapidly as blades of wind shot off its body in every direction tearing the throne room asunder. The blade's collided against Doflamingo who attempted to protect his body with Busoshoku Haki, but it did little good as the blades of wind were so sharp they pierced through the protective armour. Blood splattered across the floor as many gashes formed all over Doflamingo's body. Soon the wind died down, revealing the woman's untouched appearance. The pirate stumbled back and forth, losing his balance from the lack of blood.
"Doflamingo-sama!" A new voice cried out, drawing the woman's attention, bursting into the room from one of the many doorways was a man. The man was tall wearing a long black coat with gold metal rings on the arms and chest, gold rivets studded around the collar and shoulders, and black and gold metal gears on the elbows, along with matching black boots. Sporting a similarly-studded white mask that covers the lower half of his face, matching a pair of blue goggles, and a black top hat, altogether giving him a style very reminiscent of steampunk. The man raced over to Doflamingo's side, assisting to help his captain stand.
"If memory serves me this should be Gladius one of Doflamingo's subordinates." Detailed files had been created on many high-risk pirates, including Doflamingo and his crew. The woman had access to them, and as an Anbu Black Ops, it was her duty to thoroughly memorise everything that she could, especially when it came to potential targets.
The man, Gladius, glared daggers at the masked woman, "You'll pay for this!" The man aimed his left arm towards the woman, with a bang a dozen bullets were fired from the mechanisms in his arms, "Catapult Punc!" The bullets began to swell rapidly as they flew towards the Kunoichi.
The woman slashed her tanto through the air, "Futon: Repuu Kazeken (Wind Release: Gale Wind Blades)!"With a single slash, a storm of wind blades was released. The wind blades shot forward colliding with the incoming bullets slicing them in two. The bullets detonated in mid-air from the impact of being cut. The blast radius barely even touched the woman.
The Kunoichi didn't give them time to react or retreat as she kicked off the ground. An explosion of wind shot out from the woman's feet, launching her through the air at high speed. The woman landed in front of the two pirates', a free palm strike landing just below Gladius's chest line, "Hakke Tenrai Hasangekishou (Eight Trigrams Heavenly Mountain Crusher Palm)!" On impact, chakra was released, unleashing an explosive force of chakra. Chakra exploded out rapidly increasing not only the strength of the palm strike but to damage the man's internal organs. Blood stained the bomb man's mask as he was sent flying backwards. His body hitting the ground with a loud thud.
Gladius lay there, unmoving, pain coursing through his body but with no strength to even whimper. The chakra blow had brutally crushed his internal organs, everything below the chest had been turned into a paste. The bone in the area had been shattered into nothing, turning into fine dust; the man was experiencing a slow painful death. Blood dripped from the man's mouth, unable to even breathe. Doflamingo had also been affected; even though he hadn't suffered from the direct force, the explosive chakra had still caught him, knocking the pirate aside, crushing all the bone in his left arm into fine dust.
The woman appeared before the fallen Gladius, looking down with a merciless gaze. Raising her right foot, wind chakra circulated around it, then the woman stomped down viciously. Wind chakra created a blade around the foot, allowing it to pierce through the man's skull without resistance. Once the blade of wind came in contact with the brain, it expanded unleashing multiple blades of wind that shredded it to pieces, effectively killing the man. The man hadn't had an opportunity to retaliate against the woman, dying after an incredibly short battle, it couldn't even be called that. Gladius had been killed after only using one move.
Sheathing the tanto blade, the masked woman brought her hands together into the tiger seal, "Suiton: Mizu Kamikiri (Water Release: Rising Water Slicer)!" Kicking the ground, water poured out from her heel that shot forward as a linear wave. The wave of water cleaved through the stone floor towards the weakened Doflamingo. The pirate mustered up all remaining strength and jumped up into the air, string shooting out of his feet, connecting to the roof to allowing him to walk on air. The water wave continued its path hitting a wall making it collapse on impact. Doflamingo glared with his remaining eye at the woman, clutching his right arm. The pirate looked at his fallen family member, and rage overcame him.
"You'll pay for that!" Doflamingo slashed at the air with his good arm firing blades made of string that curved through the air towards the masked woman who dared to kill a member of his crew.
"Suiton: Suijinchū! (Water Release: Water Pillar)!" Without missing a beat the woman exhaled, expelling a stream of water from her mouth. A dense, curved torrent of water circled around her body creating a protective barrier against the incoming blades of string. The water element in the attack turned the blades of string from deadly razor-sharp string capable of slicing through anything turning it as limp as a noodle.
The woman didn't stop as using the water generated for the defence pillar; she started another attack. "Suiton: Suigadan (Water Release: Water Fang Bullet)!"The water began to swirl, before shooting out from the pillar were four spiralling whirlpool like drills of water. The pirate jumped through the air avoiding the incoming projectiles as they drilled through the roof of the room, causing debris to fall. As the fourth drill headed towards Doflamingo, the pirate jumped back again avoiding it, only for the drill to go up in a puff of smoke and the woman to take its place. Doflamingo was caught off guard before he felt a palm connecting with chest, chakra expelled on impact. Blood flew from his lips as the pirate fell from the air, crashing through the second floor and hit the first floor of the palace with a loud thud, forming a human crater. Debris fell on top of the pirate burying him. The woman landed on the edge of the broken floor, looking down the hole.
An angry roar erupted as the debris morphed into white string that shot up, thousands of them heading towards the Kunoichi. The woman's eyes widened behind the mask, quickly pulling out a scroll, she then threw it towards the incoming string. The scroll unrolled, and hundreds of paper bombs popped into existence in small puffs of smoke. The bombs exploded as they met with the incoming wave of string. The entire castle shook violently under the explosive force of the bombs and the string colliding. The masked woman jumped back as piercing through a thick cloud of smoke was over a hundred pieces of string. Standing atop them was Doflamingo, blood trickling down the left side of his mouth. An angry scowl was set in place as the pirate glared at the woman with a deep hatred. With a raise of his arm, the mass of string shot towards the woman with the intent to cut her up into thousands of tiny little pieces, all in the name of his fallen comrade. How he wanted to tear her apart for what she had done.
The kunoichi began moving at high speed, dodging the incoming strings as they bombarded her from every angle. The woman twisted, curled and moved in a way no normal human could, revealing the level of flexibility in her nimble body. With a backflip, the kunoichi landed in a crouched position, watching as the string was pulled back. The woman had been pushed to the edge of the throne room.
Doflamingo landed on the ground, placing his single working hand on the floor. The entire floor began to transform, as white string rapidly spread out from his fingertips. The walls even turned to string, as Doflamingo used his powers to affect the surroundings. "Ebā Howaito (Ever White)" The massive amount of string rose in the air before it was condensed into countless points. With a wave of his only arm, the strings shot out in the formation of two wings towards the woman, "Furappo Sureddo (Flap Thread)!" The wing-like points of string were equivalent to a thousand arrows
Chakra circulated around the woman's body, the wind began to pick up quickly wrapping around her in a protective embrace, creating a huge spinning dome of wind, "Fuuton: Kaiten (Wind Release: Revolving Heaven)!" The wings made of string collided against the spinning dome, bouncing off its protective barrier. Doflamingo didn't let up the assault as more of the room was transformed into countless pieces of string that condensed into razor sharp points. These points of strings shot forward to join the others. "Fuuton: Kaiten Funka (Wind Release: Revolving Heaven Eruption)!" Having enough of the incoming string, the Anbu increased the output of chakra into the dome causing it to rotted violently. Blades of wind erupted violently from the expanding dome of wind, shredding the pieces of string apart. The blades of wind left deep gashes in the floor as they met the string head on. The incoming string had no chance as the razor sharp wind sliced right through without resistance.
Doflamingo sneered raising his lone arm. String formed beneath him rapidly lifting the pirate up into the air, with a motion of his hand, string detached and shot forward the woman. String wrapped around one another creating eight long pieces like spider legs. The spider-like legs of string struck down on the woman, each moving exceedingly faster. The Kunoichi channelled wind nature chakra beneath her feet, creating air cushions, allowing her to move in multiple dimensions, stepping on air itself to move and avoid the incoming string. The left leg kicked out at the air, "Fuuton: Kaze Katta (Wind Release: Wind Cutter)" A travelling arc of wind shot out from the leg, stretching over a wide length. The blade of wind flew into the path of an incoming string leg and sliced it in half. The woman didn't stop their kicking out seven more times to fire seven more wind blade's, each blade cleaving a leg in two.
Doflamingo gritted his teeth in anger and went to attack again, only to suddenly stumble, losing feeling in his fingertips. The pirate's vision began to blur, he was soon seeing double, and then triple. The pirate stumbled, before puking up a large amount of blood that was almost black in nature, it was sickening to even look at. Doflamingo's body swayed, and he fell from the roof hitting the ground with a loud thud. Pain coursed through his every fibre of his body, it felt like his blood was on fire. How long had it been such he had experienced such pain, it was truly unbearable, but the man was in too much pain to even scream.
The masked woman relaxed her body, "About time." The woman took a few steps forward, removing a scroll from her hip pouch. Unrolling the scroll and channelling chakra into it, countless chakra strings shot out towards the discarded senbon needles, shuriken and lone kunai. Collecting the items the chakra strings reeled them sealing them up into the scroll, all but one which the kunoichi grabbed. Twirling the kunai she original used on her first appearance and threw it at Doflamingo where it landed in front of his lone eye with a clang.
"The moment the battle began you had already lost, the knife's tip was coated in a thin layer of poison, while slow acting, once it starts, it is excruciatingly painful. The poison is eating away at your internal organs, dissolving them into nothing. Your bones are beginning to break down; soon you won't be able to support your weight without them breaking. Your nerves will light up with pain at the slightest touch. Your blood will boil as it evaporates," Lectured the young woman with a smug smile beneath that mask.
The kunoichi approached the downed Doflamingo who was shaking from the pain, but still showed resilience to live. The woman clicked her teeth, "We originally thought about leaving you alive. But after contemplation, it's best just to kill you." The woman removed a sealing tag from her right pouch, with a flick the sealing paper flew onto Doflamingo's head. The seal activated and chakra coursed into Doflamingo's body. If the pirate thought the poison was painful, then this was more so.
The pirate let loose a blood-curdling scream as chakra tore into his body. The celestial dragon felt like something was being ripped out from the very depth of his being. Chakra flowed up from the pirate's body in two colours red and blue. The two colours merged as the woman held out her right hand. The chakra converged and began to take the shape of a fruit. The fruit was gourd-shaped, with a pale lilac-colour that had a swirl pattern embedded all over it and a curly, fuchsia stem on its top. Doflamingo's eyes widened in horror at the sight of the fruit, "T-Tha…" the pirate could barely speak.
The woman chuckled as she tossed the fruit up and down, "Your Ito Ito no Mi (String String Fruit). I've removed it permanently. But it's not like you'll have a chance to miss it." The fruit was stashed away, sealed into a scroll and pocketed into a pouch. Placing hands on her hips, the woman looked down at Doflamingo's pitiful form. "The poison will kill you. I estimate you have no more than twenty, maybe thirty minutes. It would have been longer, but the stress from having your Devil Fruit extracted has only enhanced the effects of the poison."
Tapping their right foot the woman contemplated, "I could just let the poison run its course, but that runs the risk fo you somehow surviving." The woman raised her right hand, wind flowing into it taking the shape of a long sword, "Fuuton: Kaze no Yaiba (Wind Release: Sword of Wind)!"
The arm was brought down, only for a high pitched voice to distract the woman, "Doflamingo-sama!" The stone beneath Doflamingo quivered like water as it rose up into the shape of hands. The stone wrapped around Doflamingo forming a protective shield against the incoming wind blade. The blade struck cutting through the stone, finding nothing inside. Doflamingo was gone.
The Kunoichi cursed over the fact that the pirate had escaped, "No worries. The poison should finish him off. If he should survive through some unforeseen circumstance, he will be no more than a cripple for the rest of his miserable life."
The Kunoichi brought both hands together and vanished in a swirl of water. There work had been completed. Not only was Doflamingo out of commission but one of his officers had been killed as well. Hopefully, the other's would be able to take the lives of one of Doflamingo's people as well. If they could weaken the man's power, it would hopefully weaken his grip on the country, allowing them when the time came to take it back from his grasp, handing it over to King Riku.
