"What?" yelled Usopp, Lucy and Sanji (Chopper). "An Alliance to Defeat a Yonko?"

"Damn it! Finally, I should have come with them." Gajeel muttered. "Salamander, what have you done again?"

"Nothing at all." The mage retorted. "I didn't even agree! Luffy did."

Suddenly staring at Law, he asserted seriously. "

"I don't trust this guy."

" Luffy, you were just supposed to get Nami back. " Usopp cried, clutching his captain's collar. "So why are you coming back with this guy and this stupid idea to challenge the Yonkos?"

"No one agrees with that idea, Luffy." Franky (Nami) assured.

"Wait a minute." Lily said. "If it's about fighting Kaido, we'll be interested to know where he is."

" No way we're going to see him. " Sanji (Chopper) retorted. "We will be slaughtered."

"Speaking of slaughter, I found this raccoon on the way." Law stated, while holding Chopper's injured body. " It's yours ? "

"AHHHHHHHHHHH! My body." Chopper horrified, seeing the state he was in.

Immediately grabbing Chopper (Franky), he began to wrap him in bandages, while Wendy rushed to use her magic to perform the emergency healing.

Seeing that two groups had formed on whether or not to ally with Law, Robin asserted.

"Luffy, I will submit to your decision, no matter what it is! Nevertheless, you must know that an alliance between pirates often ends in betrayal! They usually end up killing the mate to get all the loot! You gotta keep that in mind."

Listening carefully, Lufy ends up asking Law.

"Tra-o, are you going to betray me?"

" Non. "

" In that case, it's good. " Luffy assured.

"Imbecile." Lucy and Juvia (Carla) roared.

Then pointing her finger at him, Juvia (Carla) wanted to know.

"Tell me the truth! This guy isn't the real captain of your crew, is he?"

"Unfortunately, it is." Usopp and Franky (Nami) sighed. "And it's not easy every day."

" Never mind. " Gajeel retorted, remaining seated, staring at Law. "Kaido...is he that powerful?"

"If he wasn't, I wouldn't have any reason to ask Mugiwara-ya for help." Law assured.

"In this case, we can say that your presence can become an advantage for us! I hate teaming up with other people! Nevertheless, I prefer to have a good plan that could allow us to return home! not a bad solution."

However, suddenly turning his arm into a metal saw, he added.

"I hope for you that you have no ulterior motives! That might make me angry."

"I see it seems hard to earn your trust." Law remarked.

"You're mostly a weird and sinister guy." Natsu retorted. "You attacked your allies without hesitation! And then you already attacked our friends."

"Speaking of which, can't you fix this?" Franky (Nami) questioned. "I can't take this body anymore."

"Same thing." Juvia (Carla) affirmed. "Give us back our original bodies."

"Huh?" Gray (Juvia) spooked. "Wait a minute, Juvia is asking for a vote."

Sighing, meanwhile, Law finally spoke. "

" ROOM … SHAMBLES ! "

Immediately various souls left certain bodies and mixed with each other before disappearing into another body. Then, a few seconds later, Franky's huge body began to move, screaming. "

"SUPER! I got my SUPER body back."

Falling to her knees, Juvia began to cry.

"Yeah! Juvia is no longer in Grey-sama's body! It's the end of a dream."

"Come to think of it, that's not a bad thing." Lucy pointed out. "If Gray is okay with that idea, what would you have done for your…marriage?"

"Wedding?" Juvia wondered, immediately stopping crying. "That's right! At our wedding, Juvia wants Grey-sama to tell her that he loves her in his body! Otherwise, it wouldn't be romantic for Juvia."

"I got my body back too." Chopper remarked.

However, despite his own healing and Wendy's magic, he was still unable to move.

"HEY! Can someone explain to me why I'm in this state? My whole body is paralyzed."

"Sorry." Natsu and Luffy apologized, before pointing a finger at Franky. "But it's his fault."

"What? You're the one who beat me up."

" Me, I didn't do anything. " Natsu retorted. "You're the one who tried to kill us a dozen times."

"Yeah, you completely lost your mind." Luffy agreed.

"And that justifies you knocking me out with the technique you used against the Kraken? "

"You're all going to pay me for it." Chopper roared.

" Sorry. "

"I believe they recovered their bodies." Lily noted.

"Oye! What the fuck is this?" Gray (Carla) suddenly snarled. "Why did I end up in Grey's body?"

"And me in Sanji's?" Roared Sanji (Nami). "Fix it right away."

"Impossible." Law retorted. "If your friends' bodies are too far away, there's nothing I can do! I can't fix this problem until they get back."

"Why?" Both people wanted to know, falling to their knees.

"Huh, sir…" Wendy called him suddenly, not really knowing what to call him.

"You can call me Law." The pirate told him.

"Huh, Law-san…" She started, while pointing at the kids. "What do you know about them?"

"Hmm? They're kids from the lab? Unfortunately, I don't know much! Actually, all I know is that Caesar was doing a special experiment with them, in order to turn them into a war machine!" Nevertheless, he always put me aside, while declaring that it was ''top secret!'' All I can say more is that he gave them drugs in the form of sweets to prevent them to go away. "

"What?" Natsu suddenly roared, advancing towards him. "Wait, you knew something bad was being done to these kids and you didn't do anything to prevent it?"

" I had other things to do than worry about their health. " Law retorted.

"How dare you?" Asked Lucy. "These poor children are only victims in this story! Don't you have any compassion for them?"

Simply shrugging, Law wanted to know.

"Anyway, what are you going to do with them?"

" We plan to save them by taking them with us. " Luffy assured him. "No question of leaving them here."

"Tsss, give up on that idea! You're going to tire yourself out for nothing."

" No way. " Wendy retorted. " If we do that, Caesar will have no trouble finding them and force-feeding them again with drugs. "

"She's right." Chopper agreed. "These children only want one thing: to be reunited with their families."

"It's mission impossible." Law insisted. "They have become addicted to this drug and some are far too big to be calmed down in a crisis! Might as well leave them here! It will only be a small loss anyway."

Suddenly feeling a wave of heat in his back, he drew his saber in time to counter a punch from Natsu. However, the striking power was so important that Law felt pushed back several meters.

"Salamander?" He wondered, seeing Natsu give him a hateful look.

"Never." He roared. "I could never team up with a rot like you! You only think of yourself."

"I'm just saying it will turn out to be useless." Law asserted. " Even if you manage to get out of here with these kids, Caesar will find a way to get others to continue his experiments. "

" In that case, let's give him a good beating. " Natsu affirmed.

"Yeah, I agree." Happy agreed.

"As if it would be that easy." Law sighed, putting away his saber. "You may not know this but Caesar is protected."

"Protected?" Franky repeated. " By who ? "

"By his own clients! In exchange for his services, Caesar sees himself protected by all the big names in the New World! Including one of the four emperors: Kaido! Attacking Caesar is tantamount to declaring war on this guy. "

Swallowing then, Usopp showed that he understood the importance of their actions on this island.

"Damn it, that sucks! No matter what we might do, we're bound to have an enemy on our backs."

"Was Kaido asking Caesar to turn those kids?" Lily wanted to know. "He wants them to grow up to be powerful soldiers. "

"Perhaps! Nevertheless, a member of the government could very well have asked him." Law affirmed.

"The government?" Gray (Carla) wondered. "But, isn't that supposed to bring the good guys together? These people could never accept such experiences."

"For senior leaders, if killing ten people can save a hundred, then killing those ten people becomes a primary mission." Robin explained to him.

Hearing that pissed Natsu off even more.

"What a bunch of bastards! And they are the ones who dare to bring justice to this world?"

Burning his fists, he declared.

"It doesn't matter if I have to kick the ass of Caesar, Kaido or the world government! For me, my mission that I set myself now is to bring these kids home."

"Damn it, even in another world, your only goal is to get us into trouble." Gajeel muttered.

Nevertheless, smiling in turn, he affirmed.

"I feel like we can have a little fun."

For his part, Luffy glared at Law, before declaring to him.

"If Nami and Chopper want to help them, then I'll do the same, period."

"Tsss!" Law said simply, before finally sitting down on a piece of sheet metal. "You're just going to end up with a burden on your hands."

" Hey, since you made an alliance with us, you have to help us. " Luffy remarked, suddenly having a shred of intelligence in him.

" Huh? "

"Helping each other is the purpose of an alliance, isn't it?"

"Not quite what I imagined, Strawhat."

"Luffy, I don't think you fully understand the situation." Usopp stated, pinching the bridge of his nose. "For Law, I guess an alliance is just a bunch of people joining forces to achieve a common goal, right?"

"It is." Assured Law.

"For Luffy, it's a completely different thing! For him, making an alliance is just another way to become buddies."

"Exactly." His captain affirmed.

Sighing, hearing this, Law then turned to the mages, before wanting to know.

"And they, are your allies?"

"Don't get carried away." Gajeel retorted. "For the moment, we are mostly in a world that is totally unknown to us! Maybe Natsu's new resolution is to help these children, but I don't forget that we absolutely have to find this guy from the Teru's name."

"He's right." Lucy agreed. "So don't get us involved in your stories! Frankly, if we can find Teru, without having to fight Kaido, that would suit me a lot."

" That will be impossible. " Law retorted. "Teru is no ordinary soldier of Kaido! He is part of the Tobiroppos group."

" Tobiroppos ? "

"Yes! In Kaido's crew, there is Kaido and, then, the trio of All-Stars, who are his most powerful soldiers! And after them, there are the Tobiroppos grouping the great generals of his army! And Teru is one of them."

"Juvia guesses he's not weak." Juvia understood.

"Of course! This kind of guy should never be underestimated! Besides, it's normal to think that he is never far from Kaido! He often has to be in charge of protecting an area of the island where Kaido is used to staying! Clearly, no sooner will you fight Teru than Kaido will know about it."

"And so, he will fall on us to try to kill us." Gray understood (Carla).

"So you'll understand going in head first won't do any good." Law chimed in. "Making a real plan is paramount if we want to win."

"And what is your purpose in all of this?" Lily wanted to know.

"It's simple! If we manage to defeat Kaido, we can destroy the mechanism of the world."

"The mechanism of the world?" Sanji (Nami) wondered.

"Yes! The Shichibukais, the World Government, and the Yonkos! They are three forces that perfectly balance each other but could break at any moment! Now, just imagine the fact that one of the Yonkos falls! It can only become gigantic chaos all over the world."

"Is that such a good thing, then?" Wendy wanted to know.

"Who knows? In any case, for me and Strawhat, we don't really have a choice! To reach Raftel, we have to eliminate all competition! That's how it is in the world of piracy."

Standing up then, he affirmed.

"Okay! To show you my good faith, I will help you with these children! With such a laboratory, I doubt that Caesar is not an antidote for them somewhere! I will try to find it with your doctor! Who is -This? "

"Them." Luffy replied, pointing at Chopper and Wendy.

"Huh…no, no." Wendy retorted. "Maybe my power is for healing, but I don't know anything about medicine."

"Anyway, there's no way I'm leaving Wendy with this guy." Gray (Carla) affirmed, glaring at Law. "We can't trust him! At least not that easily."

"Tsss!" The Shichibukai said simply. " SHAMBLE !"

Suddenly disappearing, Chopper's body eventually ends up in Law's hand.

"In that case, we have no choice." He growled, while starting to attach the animal to his sword, using a rope. "You will have to be very vigilant and discreet."

"I...I'm going to try."

"Hey, wait." Natsu stopped him. "And we, what should we do in the meantime?"

"The two assassins from earlier prove one thing." Law remarked. "Caesar intends to kill each of you, as well as the G-5 led by Smoker! He will only have mercy on the dragon hunters in your group, because he does not want Kaido to suffer the "He had to tell him of your death! But, in any case, that means that he won't allow any of you to leave without his agreement! Besides, he intends to recover those brats that you saved."

"Damn it, but who is Caesar really?" Franky wanted to know. "On an island where I was for two years, I found a laboratory that included Vegapunk's research, which he was able to carry out with the help of Caesar! Isn't he a man working with the world government rather than with pirates?"

"As you must know, there was a serious accident four years ago that changed the whole island! Since that sinister day, Caesar has become an outlaw and ended up by hiding here! However, if someone were to divulge his whereabouts, he will only be able to say goodbye to his peace, while the Navy would not take long to get him! Besides, he has a bounty of 300 million berries."

"300 million?" Lily repeated.

"A pirate whose head is worth over 100 million is a great enemy to the Navy." Robin told him.

"Damn it, but then this guy must have titanic strength." Happy spooked.

"He's mostly armed with a lethal weapon." Law continued. "The gas-gas no mi! His devil fruit, which made him a gas man! With it, he can create all kinds of poisonous gases dangerous enough to kill someone in one puff! a logia! So to approach it, you need to master haki."

"Logia?" Gajeel repeated. "Haki?"

" In short, there are three types of Devil Fruit: Paramecias... Zoans and Logias! The Logias are the fruits of the devil that allow your body to obtain the texture of various elements such as fire, magma or other! They are the most dangerous because ordinary attacks do not work against them! Only haki can! It is a force to increase your strength using your mind! A man with a well-trained mind can disrupt someone else's powers and thus cause them to become impotent! This is what haki is all about. "

Turning to Luffy then, Law asked.

"Reassure me, you are indeed in possession of this force, are you not?"

"Yes! Just like Sanji and Zoro."

" Good! In that case, here's the plan! We will split into three groups: the reindeer and I will go to the lab to try to find an antidote, the second group will stay here to watch over the kids and finally, the last group will be charge… to capture Caesar."

"Capture him?" Sanji (Nami) wondered. " How ? "

"It's up to you! Generally, he is in his lab! Nevertheless, a diversion on your part could easily bring him out of his hiding place! Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that he is not the only he is dangerous! Pisca ... Cameo ... Monet and Doctor Fronk ... All four are also formidable adversaries and ensure the protection of Caesar! Not to mention that the other centaurs see him as a god! will ever let him approach without a fight."

Suddenly thinking, Lucy finally asked.

"I have a question! If Caesar is captured, are you sure Kaido will be affected?"

"Huh? How so?"

"If the Yonkos are so powerful, I doubt the loss of a few giants will do anything to him! Why is Caesar so important to him?"

"Creating giants is not an order from Kaido." Law retorted. "No, capturing Caesar will stop the production of SMILE."

" SMILE ? "

"Never mind." Law advised her. "All that matters, for now, is having a common goal: to draw Kaido's gaze to us! However, capturing Caesar is only the first phase of the plan! If it fails, It's not even worth thinking of going any further! Nevertheless, if we succeed, I will explain the rest of my plan to you later! And, I tell you right now, it will be at this precise moment that your life will change forever! We will become the world's number one enemy! And then there will be no turning back for us."

Immediately, Usopp and Sanji (Nami) couldn't help but gulp, while Lucy and Wendy flashed unreassured looks.

"If any of you want to change your mind, it's now or never."

" For us, it's okay. " Luffy assured immediately, despite the reluctance of some members of his crew.

For their part, the mages of Fairy Tail looked at each other not really knowing what to think of the situation.

"What do we do?" Happy wanted to know.

" No choice." Lily affirmed. "This guy is the only one who can lead us to Kaido! We have nothing to lose by following him! We just need to stay vigilant."

"Juvia doesn't like him very much." Juvia confessed. "He seems to be the type to betray others without hesitation."

"I agree with her." Gray (Carla) agreed. "Who doesn't tell us he's leading us on and who's forever working for Caesar?"

"Unfortunately, Erza isn't here." Wendy remarked. "Normally, she is the one who makes the important decisions."

" We're old enough to manage." Gajeel retorted. "Me, I say we have to implement this plan! Anyway, I doubt that a weakling like him can beat us all. "

"Maybe, but why do we always have to have so many problems falling on us?" Lucy said sadly.

Finally, approaching Law, Natsu gave a serious look, while asking him.

"Will you really be honest?"

"As long as the plan is conclusive and moves forward within the rules, I will remain so." Law assured. "Anyway, I could never run away in the middle of the fight since wherever I go, Kaido will come after me for revenge! Therefore, it would be safer for me to stay with him. YOU. "

Staring at him as he spoke, Natsu couldn't detect any lies in his voice. However, that didn't stop her from trying to punch him in the face. Not activating his flames, he easily allowed Law to block his attack using his sword.

"Okay, I'm willing to team up with you! Nevertheless, I'll burn you if you ever decide to suddenly switch sides."
