Chapter 271: Chapter 271 : Depart To Dressrosa
The Straw Hats, Trafalgar Law, and Kirito stood together, overseeing the transfer of the giant children into the custody of the Marines. Especially Kirito as he felt directly responsible for those kids now.
Smoker and Tashigi were busy ensuring the kids' safe transportation of the hazardous island.
"We promise," Tashigi said, her voice firm and filled with compassion, "we'll take good care of these children and return them to their families once they're fully healed." She said, looking at Nami.
Luffy grinned, showing his faith in the Marines. "Thanks, Smoker! Let's fight the next time we meet, hehehehee!"
As the kids were being led away, their faces filled with a mixture of hope and sadness, Smoker approached Kirito. The Marine Vice-Admiral had been eyeing him with suspicion ever since their encounter.
"You're not a pirate," Smoker stated bluntly, his cigar emitting a thin trail of smoke. "So, what's your story? Why are you mixed up with these guys?"
Kirito met Smoker's gaze steadily. "I'm looking for someone. Her name is Asuna, a kunoiche. She was... well we got separated and now I need to find her and bring her back home."
Smoker's eyes narrowed as he assessed Kirito. "So, you're saying you're not here to cause trouble?"
Kirito nodded. "That's right. I don't want any problems. I just need to find Asuna."
Smoker considered this for a moment before speaking again. "Alright. I won't place a bounty on your head for now. But hear this: if you do anything that attracts Marine attention, I'll come after you myself."
Kirito nodded, grateful for Smoker's understanding. "Thank you. I'll make sure to stay out of trouble."
As the conversation ended, a joyful reunion was taking place nearby. Kin'emon was embracing his son Momonosuke, who had just been turned back into his human form thanks to Kirito's clone. Tears streamed down their faces as they held each other tightly.
"Father!" Momonosuke cried, his small arms wrapped around Kin'emon's neck.
Kin'emon's voice was thick with emotion. "It's alright now, my son. We're together again."
Kirito watched the reunion, feeling a warm sense of satisfaction. 'At least there is someone who found there long lost.'
With the children safely under Marine protection and Kin'emon and Momonosuke reunited, it was time for the Straw Hats, Law, and Kirito to depart. They gathered near their ships, the Thousand Sunny preparing to set sail for Dressrosa.
"Everyone ready?" Luffy called out, his enthusiasm infectious as always.
Nami checked the log pose, ensuring their course was set. "Ready!"
Kirito upon seeing it was finally the time to leave this island, just smiled. After all, this was the only way for him to go find Asuna. Finally, there was a small smile on his face upon seeing he was getting closer to finding her.
Not to mention seeing all those happy children in the Marine Boat.
As they prepared to leave, the residents of Punk Hazard and the Marines gathered to see them off. The children, now in safe hands, waved goodbye, their eyes filled with hope and gratitude.
"Good luck!" Tashigi called out, her hand raised in farewell.
Smoker, though still wary, gave a nod of acknowledgement. "Stay out of trouble," he warned, directing his gaze at Kirito.
Luffy, never one to be formal, grinned and waved back enthusiastically. "See you guys!"
The ships set sail, cutting through the icy waters of Punk Hazard. The wind filled the sails of the Thousand Sunny and moved swiftly alongside it. The journey to Dressrosa had begun.
Kirito stood at the bow of the Sunny, watching the island fade into the distance. He was somewhat excited to learn more about this world. In fact if not for Asuna then he wouldn't hurry this much and take his time to enjoy this world, with the Straw Hats and Law by his side, he felt like he was a kid again, watching One Piece for the first time.
This feeling was just like when he found he was in the Naruto world for the first time.
The alliance between pirates and Kirito was shady at best. This never happens in the first half of One Piece. Pre-Time Skip was simple but right now Kirito had a feeling that a bigger story is somehow forming, totally unknown to him.
He doesn't know why Kinemon and Momonosuku are here, but he knows that they are from Wano, the same place where Kaido is.
The enemy they are about to face, and the same one which Luffy defeated in the anime. He was just ain't sure what role they play.
But for the time being, he just has to play his part. There is no way he can find Asuna without their help and to get their help he has to go along with them at their pace and help them out as well.
The journey to Dressrosa was just beginning, and the challenges ahead would test their strength and resolve. Kirito was confident that only someone like an Emperor would be a problem for him at this point.
And yet he wanted to fight all of them.
Chapter 272: Chapter 272 : On Thousand Sunny
"So what is your story, how come you ended up getting stuck on that island and lost your son here," Kirito asked Kinemon.
He pretty much knew the background story of all the Straw Hat Pirates. Even Law's story he did know, to the point he can say that he is a good guy.
But this pair of both Father and Son were the only two people who he didn't know much.
"Ah, allow me to formally introduce myself and my son here. I am a Samurai from the land of Wano. And of course, this is my Son, Mononoke.
We left Wano together with a few friends of ours. We were five but along the way, we were separated.
While Momonosuke and I were stuck here on this island. Our other companions are still out there, waiting for our reunion and went back to Wano. So that we can save it." Kinemon said, Momonosuke looked serious at this.
"I see." Kirito nodded, he didn't ask further, there was no need.
"Say sir Kirito. You are a Shinobi yourself, are you not? I never have heard about the land of Fire or Konoha. Where does this place lie." Kinemon asked with curiosity, though Kirito felt like the guy was trying to change the subject here.
"Ah, well it's a hidden village. The location is a secret. I can't tell you about that, Sorry!" Kirito replied without any hesitation.
"Ah I see, then I shall ask you no further on this matter." Kinemon reply.
"Thanks for understanding."
Kirito was about to continue talking, gathering as much information as possible from them but that's when a sound came.
"Kirito, you promise that you will show me more Ninjutsu." Came the child-like voice of one Tony Tony Chopper.
"Yes yes, what do you want to see Chopper," Kirito replied with an internal sigh. This little fellow was just like those kids from Konoha. Always asking and demanding him to show them a Ninjutsu.
"Oh, me too, me too." Luffy suddenly appears out of nowhere.
"Okay Okay. Hey, Momonosuke come here I will show you something good." Kirito shouted, calling the last kid in the boat before starting the show.
"Hmm, I have seen Ninjutsu before. I am well aware of all sorts of Ninjutsu that exist." Momonosuke said with a little boasting tone.
"No Momonosuke, Sir Kirito's Ninjutsu is not like Raizo. You should watch him closely, he had many magical means which are beyond even for Raizo." Kinemon said with a serious tone, making Momonosuke stunned for a second before he agreed and ran to see what Kirito was about to show.
But Kirito wasn't expecting that this would cause a little commotion in the boat when almost everyone present in the boat would gather up there to see Kirito's Ninjutsu.
.
.
.
"Alright," Kirito began, a small smile on his face. "I'm going to show you some of the ninjutsu from my home," Kirito said, seeing that this was turning into a show one way or another, he decided to play the host and entertain them all. This ship is a pretty boring place anyway.
The first jutsu Kirito demonstrated was the Shadow Clone Technique. In an instant, multiple identical copies of him appeared on the deck. The Straw Hats and others watched in with stars in their eyes as the clones moved and acted independently.
They all had seen this before but still, this was just surprising how broken this Jutsu was.
"Wow, that's incredible!" exclaimed Luffy, his eyes wide with excitement. "Can you teach me that?"
Kirito chuckled. "I explained to you before that you can't do it, you need chakra for that."
Next, Kirito performed the Hiraishin, the Flying Thunder God Technique, he vanished from one spot and reappeared several feet away. The sudden movement left everyone stunned.
"That's like instant teleportation!" Nami said, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "How do you do that?"
"It's a bit complicated, I will tell you later if you really want to boring explanation," Kirito explained, "but it involves special markings that I can teleport to."
"I have used this on some of you before so you guys should know how it feels," Kirito said with a smile.
This, besides only Luffy, others like Robin, Zoro and Ussop looked like they were eating something sour, and Kirito knew why.
Teleporting with Hiraishin for the first time doesn't feel pretty.
For his next trick, Kirito used the Transformation Jutsu, changing his appearance into that of different crew members one by one. He turned into Zoro, then Sanji, and even Nami, causing gasps of surprise and amazement.
"That's freaky, hey hey can you turn into this," Sanji muttered, seeing his own image mirrored perfectly in Kirito's transformation, and then from somewhere took out a book but before he could hand it over to Kirito Nami punched him away. However Kirito did see a hint of a sexy woman in the cover of the book.
Kirito then showcased a basic yet impressive Fireball Jutsu, conjuring a large ball of flames that shot into the sky. The fiery display illuminated the deck, and everyone felt the heat.
"That's some serious firepower," Law observed, nodding appreciatively. "Is Fire is the only thing you can make ?."
"No, I can use wind, fire and lightning. What I am seeing you here is what is safe enough to use onboard."
Eager to show more, Kirito formed a Rasengan in his hand—a spinning sphere of concentrated chakra. The swirling blue energy drew everyone's attention, and Kirito smashed it against a nearby training dummy, obliterating it instantly.
"That's amazing!" Usopp exclaimed, his jaw-dropping. "I've never seen anything like that!"
Kin'emon and Momonosuke watched with keen interest, recognizing the similarity to Raizo's abilities and techniques. But what Kirito show was clearly the real deal.
"Your skills are truly remarkable," Kin'emon said, bowing slightly. "I am honoured to witness such power."
Robin, always analytical, asked, "Do these techniques come from training this Chakra of yours ?"
"Yes, Chakra is just energy which can be moulded into many forms. Fire, Water, Clones. All you show is achieve is done through moulding this Chakra to achieve." Kirito replied. "It takes a lot of practice to master them though, especially the space Jutsu I show you."
Franky was particularly impressed by the versatility of the jutsus. "Man, with skills like that, you'd can do super entrance in a battle!" He said, thinking about whether he can put that power in his own creations or even better, in him.
There was just one more person who was looking at this show, though he wasn't that happy.
This was none other than Ceasar Clown, he was all tied up and beaten to the pulp.
Kirito gave him even more beating after he learned about what he did to those kids.
He honestly just wanted to be done with this man but he refrained from doing that. Law for some reason needed the man.
Later he also understood that this guy worked for not one but two Emperors of the sea.
Making Kirito look at him again with a suspicious look, wondering whether even possible.
'I mean looking at this guy, it doesn't look like it'.
Chapter 273: Chapter 273 : Romantic Embrace
"So, what's the plan," Kirito asked as he read the newspaper in his hand. He was really grateful that the language was the same in both the Ninja and Pirate worlds.
The front page of the newspaper states how one of the seven warlords of the sea, a Shishibukai, Heavenly Yaksha Donquixote Doflamingo has given up on his status.
Kirito learned later from Law that he was the one who made a deal with Doflamingo, in return of him giving up on his status of seven warlords of the sea, Law would return Caesar Clown back to Doflimingo.
This made Kirito ponder what exactly Law was after. He just wanted to remove Doflimingo from the position of the seven wardlord of the sea ? that doesn't made any sense.
But Kirito didn't care too much about it. That was Law's business, nothing to do with him.
"I will return Caesar back to Doflimingo, while I do that it's on you all to find those smile factories and destroy them," Law replied as he was also glaring at Luffy who wasn't listening to his plan at all.
"I see, here then take this," Kirito said as he took out three kunai and gave it to the three groups which are forming.
Luffy's group consist of Zoro, Sanji, Kinemon, Franky and others who will search for information about those factories.
Law's group, consisting of Robin, and Ussop will accompany him until they give Caesar to Doflimingo while also searching the island's other side.
Lastly, Nami's group will remain in the Sunny.
"Ah thanks, if I am not wrong then this allows you to teleport anywhere you like. Right ?" Nami asked with curiosity.
"Yes, if any one of you guys needs me just throw that on a wall or at the ground. I will come." Kirito said with a nod.
"Hmm, what do you mean you will come? Are you not coming with us right now ?" Ussop asked as originally Kirito was supposed to go with them.
"No, I need to hunt for some information of my own," Kirito said as he saw the upcoming island.
"Are you sure that you want to go alone there ?" Brook asked with his usual laughter.
"Yes, I am a Ninja. Gathering information is what I do for a living.
That and killing people." Kirito said with a smile as he suddenly jumped down the ship.
"Huh, why did he jump ?"
Others immediately came to the edge of the ship to see what Kirito was doing, only to find that Kirito was standing on top of the water.
"WHAT ! he can even walk on water.
What else he can't do at this point." Zoro and others saw this with disbelief.
There were stars on Luffies and Chopper's eyes.
"SO COOL."
"I will go ahead, scout the area and start gathering information. Meet you there." Kirito shouted back before doing a Shinobi run towards Dressrosa.
.
.
.
Dressrosa was a beautiful place, all Kirito could see were beautiful women and toys everywhere. Well, there were men as well but he tactfully ignored them.
'Hmm let's see, where should I start from? Maybe a tavern, that's where we usually get people with loose mouths.' Kirito hmm and started to move inside the place. As he passed he also noticed that there were many people who were giving him a strange look.
'Well, Ninja-style clothes are suspicious.' Kirito pursed his lips as he quickly found a clothes stop and got in. He was planning on getting something for himself there only for him to run into someone.
Thud.
This person was tall, even taller than him somehow. A woman to be specific. A busty woman wearing a white dress with red polka dots. Black hair and beautiful eyes with a slight shade of gold in them.
"hmm sorry, I didn't see you the..." Before Kirito even completed his sentence and acted like he was not ogling her assets. That woman grabbed him by the hands and dragged him out of the shop.
"Oi, wait what are you doing," Kirito asked but there was no response. Kirito could have easily stopped her but upon seeing the woman giving glances at the side of the shop, Kirito didn't do that.
It was clear that the woman was running away from those people who just walked past the shop. And again was coming here.
"Please hold me in a romantic embrace," suddenly the woman stopped pulling him as she faced her, her massive breast pressing against Kirito's hard chest as her arm warp around his neck, almost covering her entire figure which was infact a little taller than Kirito, in his outline. Trying to find but at the same time completely sticking to him like a Koala.
'Well, I should bring Jiraiya here the next time I come here.' Kirito thought as a small smile crept up to his face and a not-so-small mountain started to erect from...
Chapter 274: Chapter 274 : Viola
Kirito just went along with the beautiful woman until she stopped herself. He looked at the woman, she was young but still Kirito couldn't call her a girl, she by no means looked like she was a hold hag but not like a girl either. Just like Robin.
Robin looks mature, unlike pre-time skip Nami. Though now Nami looked way too mature she still had that girlish charm, this woman was like Robin. The charm of a mature woman.
After dragging him for another few minutes, she finally stopped. They finally lost the people trailing her.
Leaving his hand, just said a quick thank you in a strange interesting accent and then ran off.
Kirito's eyes twitch a little, at least a little "hi- hello", "my is my name is ..."would be nice.
The woman ran out and entered a small alley between two buildings only to hear this.
"Hello, I am Kirito Namikaze."
"Ah," She gasped, clearly surprised.
"You but...but you were." She almost stutters.
"Was back there. Yes.
But don't worry about something like that. Anyways. I am Kirito Namikaze, it's common sense to tell your name back when someone introduces to you, especially when that person just helps you avoid those goons you are trying to run away from." Kirito asked with a grim.
"Ah. Hmm yes, I'm sorry.
I am Viola."
.
.
.
Viola wasn't having a good day, running away from those goons, she was running out of time. And then she met him.
A blonde man, more like a boy when her own age is considered. Though she herself is not that old. Only 29, even younger than Robin by one year.
The boy was handsome with two bangs and strange clothes. He calls it Ninja first, she thought that he was from Wano country but that wasn't the case.
Whatever it was though, Kirito was helping her hide herself and that was beneficial for her so she play along.
Kirito and Viola found a quiet spot in a small alley, away from the prying eyes of the goons that had been chasing her. They sat down, and Viola handed him a bottle of water she had grabbed from a nearby stand.
"Thanks," Kirito said, taking a sip, though that was acting, what kind of Ninja would take anything to drink or eat from a complete stranger? "So, what's going on here? Why were those guys after you?"
Kirito asked but that was just to start the conversation. His frank tone made that clear that the question was just that a curiosity. She doesn't have to answer.
Viola sighed, taking a moment to gather her thoughts. "Those men are working for Donquixote Doflamingo, the one who controls Dressrosa. They were after me because I tried to gather information against him. He's got this island under his thumb, and anyone who opposes him is in danger." She said, though there was much more that she omitted. And of course, Kirito was taking everything she was saying with a grain of salt.
"Are you here for the fighting contest? Many outsiders have arrived here for that." Viola asked, as she saw many foreigners coming to Dressrosa to take participate in the fighting contest.
Kirito was confused but he just nodded to play along.
"Yes, but there was more as well. I also to fine someone to be more exact I also came here to get information on someone. Maybe some broker here can give me something useful." Kirito said as he sighed.
"Tell me more about Dressrosa. What's happening here? And what's with all those animated toys? I mean seriously, why and how ?"
Viola leaned back, looking weary. "Dressrosa is a beautiful place, but it's got a dark secret. You are not from here are you, you should go away while you have time. I am not aware of all the information myself but those toys exist because someone in the Doflamingo group has a devil fruit which can make them, though I don't know anything more.
Kirito's eyes narrowed. "I see, well devil fruit or not, it's pretty suspicious that any fruit can give intelligence and emotion to an inanimate object. It usually should cost something. But whatever, nothing to do with me. Tell me more about Doflamingo?"
Viola looked down, her face filled with sorrow. "He's a tyrant, he makes those toys work tirelessly while he maintains control over everyone through fear and manipulation. Many families are torn apart without even realizing it because they can't remember their loved ones who've been turned into toys."
Kirito purses his lips. It almost felt like Viola knew more than she was showing but Kirito didn't ask, there will be time for that.
"I see, anyways. I am not planning on staying here for long either. I am not done with registering myself for the tournament yet.
But before I need to find someplace where I can get some information. Say, you don't happen to know anything about it, Do You?
Viola hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "I think I can help. Follow me."
They moved through the narrow streets of Dressrosa, avoiding the goons and making their way to a secluded area. Viola led Kirito to a small, run-down building. "This place should be it," she said, pushing open the door.
Kirito stepped inside, but as soon as he did, he realized something was wrong. The room was filled with thugs, all looking at him with malicious grins. Viola stepped back, her expression conflicted.
She said, her voice different than before. "Sorry darling, but you shouldn't trust people who easily. Especially girls here in Dressrosa."
Kirito just wanted to roll his eyes. He saw a trap coming from miles away. Just he fact how trusting and helping this woman was being. It was inevitable.
He just go along just to get to the darker side of the society here. That is where he can really get the information he wants.
The thugs lunged at Kirito, but he was ready. He moved with lightning speed, wasn't even planning on using Ninjutsu here he just used Taijutsu.
One punch here, one kick there and overall he effortlessly took care of more than 12 thugs in under 1 minute.
Viola watched in awe as Kirito fought with unparalleled skill. Despite the ambush, he remained calm and focused, taking down the thugs one by one.
Viola seeing this pursed her lips. Knowing those thugs can't handle Kirito, she decided to use her own devil fruit.
Tears suddenly appear on those beautiful eyes of her, turning into giant whales made of glass. Launching at Kirito.
Kirito saw the attack with amusement. That was one of the most peculiar attacks he has ever seen. And he saw Naruto turning his fart into an attack.
Chapter 275: Chapter 275 : Viola 2
"Alright, this is the time when you start talking beautiful woman, unless you want to be like them," Kirito said as he pointed at all these thugs who's asses he just kicked.
And it's needless to say that Viola's attack with her devil fruit was completely useless against Kirito. With just little skilful moments of footwork on this part, he dodges that whale looking like attacked by Viola.
"Oh, so you think that I am beautiful," Viola asked as she slowly pushed her chest towards Kirito, trying to seduce him.
"Yes very beautiful, exactly the kind of woman I hate as they use there beauty to seduce innocent boys like me." Kirito reply with a smile as he slowly took out a kunai to scare her.
Seeing the woman gulp a smile appears on Kirito's face, " So will you talk, I am honestly not mad that you ambushed me, happens with me a lot. So as long as you will help me out I will let you go. just need information.
It's clear that you have more information about Doflamingo, those toys and I believe that you can also help me find information about the person I am searching for." Kirito said with a smile.
Viola at this point was frowning, she by knew that there is no way that she can beat Kirito and even running away would not work for her. Sighing, she just give up to her fate and decided to talk about everything.
"Okay," she began. "First, I should tell you who I really am. My full name is Viola, and I'm the princess of Dressrosa."
Kirito's eyes widened in surprise. "A princess? I didn't expect that. I was expecting something more impressive than just a random beauty of Dressrosa but damn"
Viola nodded. "Yes. My family has ruled this kingdom for generations. But everything changed when Doflamingo took over. He forced my father, King Riku, off the throne and took control. Using the king's own hands to kill the people of Dressrosa by controlling him with his fruit. He's been ruling Dressrosa with fear and manipulation ever since." She said with a grim on her face.
Kirito listened intently, this was an ever-lasting story formation in One Piece. Kirito never like this setting, its like its been crafted for the protagonist to come and solve.
Not to mention this people who are suffering. However, he also understands that it is not always for the protagonist.
He never like it, that why he prefers Naruto's settling more, Naruto by no means can solve everything and the problems are not created so he can go and solve them.
At the same time he just can't disagree that he enjoys the fights and interesting things ODA did by doing that. So he is also not suitable to comment on that.
Viola continued, her voice trembling slightly. "The toys you see all around the city… they're actually people. Doflamingo's subordinate, Sugar, has the power to transform people into toys. Once someone is turned into a toy, everyone forgets about them. Families, friends, everyone just forgets they ever existed."
Kirito frowned. "Well shit?"
This was the exact thing which he was nervous about, devil fruits which are just too tricky to countre. He has no idea who is Sugar, he doesn't know how that power works. What if the person standing next to him when he go out in the city again is sugar, how the hell he gonna dodge something he can't even see coming ?
Even meteoroids are fine, he has a way of handling them but if he turn into a toy by let say eating something like candy, maybe by getting touched by someone or by getting seen by someone, how the hell he supposed to dodge that? Especially when he doesn't even know who is that person.
"She has a Devil Fruit ability," Viola continued. " She can turn anyone into a toy. And as long as she remains conscious, the transformation is permanent. Though I don't know how her powers work exactly"
"So, all these people have been suffering in silence, completely erased from their loved ones' memories?" Kirito asked with a little down voice, he ins't a sentimental person but his own childhood wasn't that good, and this made him have a high sense of justice.
"Yes," Viola confirmed, her eyes filled with pain. "It's Doflamingo's way of maintaining control. Anyone who opposes him or gets in his way is turned into a toy. It's how he keeps the population in line."
"And what about you?" Kirito asked. "How have you been surviving all this?"
Viola sighed. "Hiding most of the time, but only recently they have found out about my identity, I've been using my Devil Fruit power, the Giro Giro no Mi, which allows me to see through everything and everyone. It's helped me stay one step ahead of Doflamingo's men. But it's also made me a target. That's why those goons were chasing me earlier."
Kirito nodded, now finally getting a picture of what was going on here. "You've been incredibly brave to keep fighting under these circumstances," Kirito said, not sure why he encouraged her but its was something about her face which just let him comment that.
"I had no choice," Viola said, her voice resolute. "I couldn't just stand by and let Doflamingo destroy my home and my people. I joined the resistance to help bring him down."
Kirito leaned forward, his expression serious. "What exactly is Doflamingo doing here? Besides turning people into toys, I mean."
Viola's expression darkened. "He's using Dressrosa as a base for his criminal activities. He's involved in the underground trade of weapons and artificial Devil Fruits called SMILEs. Though I have no idea how, and neither I am 100% sure about that, that is just something I heard."
Kirito's eyes narrowed. "So this is the seven warlord of the sea, pretty neat position," Kirito said with a sarcastic tone.
"Yes," Viola said. "That's why... please... please help me. I see you are strong, the people of Dressrosa are suffering, and many lost families as none of their own can recognize when they saw those toys, underneath the cheerful city you see, there are tears and blood of those who don't even have their eyes anymore to cry nor blood left behind to bleed.
Please help... maybe with you we can... we can bring him down." her entire body trembles while tears trail down her face.
Kirito saw this and just closed his eyes.
'Damn she really talks good and that guilt trap...Me and my hero thing. One day I'm gonna die like this...but WHAT THE HELL.'
"Sure, kicking the ass of a warlord, count me in." Kirito smile.
Chapter 276: Chapter 276 : Viola 3
Hearing that Kirito agreed to help him and the people of Dressrosa, Viola was stunned. She asked, she begged, she even cried before but none agreed. Not even the Marines.
And yet there was this boy who agreed.
Even Viola didn't know how strong was Doflamingo, but she was sure that Kirito, who could beat all those thugs so effortlessly could definitely increase their chances of winning against Doflamingo.
"Truly, you will help us ?" Viola asked, shaking a little.
"Yeah yeah, I will help you out so stop your guilt trap already. Honestly, besides getting information about this one person I was searching for, I also wanted to get rid of Doflimingo if possible. So you don't have to ask again." Kirito reply.
Though he was lying a little here he really wanted to get rid of Doflamingo. Both Kaido and Doflamingo were the reason why Caesar ended up making those kids their test subjects.
Out of all the things, he hates the most are those who hurt kids. His and Naruto's childhood wasn't that good. So his heart just goes out to those kids at first glance. But helping them was just a temporary thing at best.
This will continue to happen as long as both Kaido and Doflamingo are not taken care of. But his direct goal of finding Asuna had nothing to do with dealing with Doflamingo so he just let it go. Leave the things to the protagonist right?
Well no longer...
'And its shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to handle that Heavenly Yuksha. Right ?'
'He might be a warlord or whatever, he is going down.' Kirito smiled as he extended his hand towards Viola to shake her hand, sealing the deal with her.
Seeing the extended hand, Viola stiffens a little before rubbing her tear-stained cheeks to wipe them out. And then took Kirito's hand gently.
"Though I won't help for free." Kirito suddenly tightened his hand, with a devilish smile on his face.
Viola's gentle smile stiffened.
"As I mentioned multiple times already, I am looking for someone. Once Doflamingo is dealt with and all the toys are turned back into their original selves, I want the kingdom of Dressrosa to help me find the person I am looking for.
Do you agree, Princess ?" Kirito asked with a serious tone.
Viola who was ready to hear any kind of unreasonable demand was a little shocked and a little stunned after hearing this.
Her previous frown turned into a bright smile as she giggled a little when seeing the boy's face so serious when asking for something so small.
"This person should be really important for you to find him like this ?" Viola asked.
"Yup, you can say that." Kirito smiled back with a smirk and removed his hand which he still found holding onto Viola's soft beautiful hand like a leech.
"Anyways, do you agree or not ?" Kirito back to his serious tone asked.
"Agree, as long as the people of Dressrosa can be liberated from the clutches of Doflamingo, I and the kingdom of Dressrosa will use its all resources to help you out," Viola replied without any restraint.
Nodding Kirito smiled and then again became serious. That was what he wanted to do. Now comes the question of how he gonna do that.
"So tell me about Doflamingo, his group of troublemakers and lastly this Sugar person. I need all the information before I take action.
Before facing Doflamingo, I should first take out those underlings who can cause trouble later on. And at the same time, I also have to free all people as well. The only way to do that is to get to Sugar and either force her to lift her powers or kill her." Kirito asked.
"Yes, but I too don't have much information about this. But I will help you out as much as possible." Viola replied though she was thinking that Kirito was planning on gathering people to start a rebellion.
She would be gobsmacked that Kirito was planning on taking all of them out by himself.
.
.
.
With extensive talk with Viola, Kirito understood that her knowledge was very limited. So he leaves her after giving her a Hiraishin Tag while also secretly marking her with his seal as well.
His target was of course to gather more information about Do Flamingo's underlings.
After but much work he soon learn most of the famous names around the place.
Like... Baby 5 - A beautiful woman with the powers to turn body parts into weapons. 'Let's get her'
Machvise - A big burly man with blond. And he can change his weight.
Senor Pink - A man-child who is surprisingly attracting all hot chicks, how? Kirito has no idea. "I'm gonna gut this bastard first"
Dellinger - Technically a Trap.
Lao G - Is that a Chinese reference, ODA? Anyway, he is a grandpa who can do kung fu.
Gladius - No information found.
Trebol - Doflamingo's right hand man. He has a devil fruit but Kirito couldn't find anything about that.
Diamante - Diamante is the manager of Dressrosa's Corrida colosseum, but again Kirito didn't find anything about his powers.
Pica - This one Kirito knew himself as Zoro cutting this bastard into half was trending back then. Devil Fruit Stone.
'Hmm, didn't find anything about Sugar and I am sure that there are more members as well. Man, I should have introduced Monet before handing her to the Marines.
But whatever, I don't think that there will more many more powerful members besides this anyway.'
Kirito hmm as he walks through the buzzling steets of Dressroza. Not sure exactly where he was going.
But that when he saw a small bag moving on its own and in the bag wasvery familiar sword.
"?".
Chapter 277: Chapter 277 : Shisui
"Got You," Zoro shouted as he finally caught the running bag. But only upon closer look, he saw that his sword, Shusui wasn't there anymore.
"What, where did it go." Shouted Zoro as he looked around.
"What happened, where the sword could go?
.
.

[Flash Back]
As the Straw Hat Pirates arrived on Dressrosa, each member set off with their own mission in mind.
Zoro wandered through the bustling streets, taking in the vibrant atmosphere. As he strolled, he noticed a blind man moving with surprising grace. There was something about the man's presence that caught Zoro's attention, but he couldn't quite place it.
Later that day, Zoro found himself in a lively tavern. The sounds of laughter, clinking glasses, and the shuffle of cards filled the air. He settled into a corner, observing the crowd. To his surprise, the blind man he had noticed earlier was seated at a gambling table, surrounded by shady-looking thugs.
Luffy had also spotted the scene. He watched as the blind man placed his bets, only for the thugs to cheat him. Luffy, being Luffy, approached the table.
"Hey, old man you won!" Luffy exclaimed, pointing at the dice. The thugs glared at him, but Luffy stood his ground.
The blind man smiled. "Oh. Did I really win, young man?"
Before the situation could escalate, the thugs decided to teach Luffy a lesson. As they lunged at him, the blind man calmly rose from his seat. With a simple tap of his cane, an incredible force of gravity crushed the thugs to the ground, pinning them helplessly.
The entire tavern fell silent, and Zoro's eyes widened after seeing the same old man here that he saw earlier. This blind man was no ordinary person; he was a devil fruit user and a strong one at that. The thugs lay immobilized, groaning in pain as the blind man turned to Luffy.
"Thank you for your help."
Luffy grinned. "No problem, old man! I'm Luffy."
"Ah, nice name. But let's not go into who I am. That might be better for everyone." Fujitora said as he went out of the tavern.
Zoro, intrigued by Fujitora's power, watched from his corner. He had a feeling this encounter was far from over.
That was when Zoro noticed it.
"Someone stole my sword," Zoro explained, already moving towards the door.
Kin'emon too shouted as Shusui was an important treasure of Wano. He too went after Zoro and Sanji also had to go as both could get lost.
The trio dashed out of the tavern, following the peculiar sight of a running bag. As they pursued it through the crowded streets. And that was when they lost the strange running bag with Shusui for a few seconds.
It was a hassle but Zoro finally caught the bag but...
[Flash Bag End]
.
.
.
To his astonishment, a tiny figure emerged from the bag. It was Wicca, a dwarf. She looked up at them with wide eyes, clutching the stolen bag.
"Stupid, stupid...I am so stupid. I tripped and twisted my ankle" Wicca cried.
"Who fucking care, where is my sword," Zoro shouted, not caring about anything else.
.
.
.
"Isn't this Zoro's sword, how come it's here ?" Kirito looks at the sword in his hand with a strange look and question. He can't say for sure as he saw that sword close but how many swords out there are painted black in this world? Only Mihawk's Yoru and Ryuma's Shusui.
He took the sword from that strange bag which was running away on its own when he saw it looking familiar. He wasn't sure what was going on but that felt like the right action back then.
But now he as wondering what he should do. should he find Zoro and return this? But that will take too much time. God only knows at which Universe that green-haired swordsman would be at by now.
'Hmm... Well for the time being I will just hold it and while at it, I might actually get a use out of it. Once I meet Zoro again, thats when I will give this back to him.' Kirito smirked as he slowly took out the sword from its sheath, only to see a black blade coming out.
"This one is even better than the Griffon I had before. One Piece world really does have some of the best swords out there. Can't find this kind of sword in the Naruto world.
Even those 7 mist swords are not that great. I better look for a sword like this while I am here. I am clearly lacking one right now." Kirito sighed as he started to move.
His goal right now was to find Sugar's location. He was gathering information left and right now but he got nothing. '
Its almost like not even a single person in the city knew about her, let alone how she look or her location.
At this point, he could only go and find one of the underlings of Doflamingo and beat the shit out of them to get the information.
"Sigh, it's never easy, is it."
Kirito just sighed and was ready to resume gathering information, but that was when he felt a chakra flair.
"A Hiraishin tag." Kirito perk up and immediately teleported where the signature came from.
Chapter 278: Chapter 278 : Fujitora and Doflamingo
Law reaches the pre-destime place in Dressrosa with Caesar in tow. He was prepared for the meeting with Doflamingo, but not for the betrayal that awaited him.
Well not really, he fully expected to get attacked by Doflamingo but what surprise was what happened next?
As he approached the rendezvous point, Doflamingo was seen, alone as agreed.
"Doflamingo!" Law shouted, glaring at the Warlord. "I'm here to hand over Caesar as promised. That was the deal."
Doflamingo smirked. "You really think you can outsmart me, Law?" With a flick of his wrist, Doflamingo unleashed his strings, aiming straight for Law.
Law quickly activated his Room ability, slicing through the air with his sword to dodge the strings. But before he could react, a massive force of gravity pinned him to the ground. Fujitora stepped into view, his blind eyes focused on Law.
"I came here to look after what you are up to, not to help you fight others," Fujitora said calmly. Of course, he was talking to Doflamingo.
"And you, Law. You are no longer a Shishibukai anymore. You are going to impel down, stay still and it won't be painful."
Law gritted his teeth, struggling to move under the intense pressure. "You're helping him though? Even after everything he's done? What kind of marine are you ?"
"He's still a Warlord," Fujitora replied. "Until the World Government decides otherwise, I have to uphold the law."
Law was stunned at this, not understanding the situation only until his mind clicked. Doflamingo tricked him.
Then Law fought against the combined might of Fujitora and Doflamingo, but he was outmatched. Fujitora's gravity abilities were overwhelming. With a wave of his hand, Fujitora summoned a massive meteor from outer space, aiming it directly at Law.
Law's eyes widened in shock. He barely managed to create a Room and teleport away, avoiding the deadly impact. The meteor crashed into the ground, leaving a massive crater in its wake.
"Is that all you've got, Law?" Doflamingo taunted, his strings whipping through the air. "You should've known better than to challenge me."
Exhausted and cornered, Law knew he couldn't keep this up.
On the side Fujitora once again draws his sword, sending a huge energy towards the sky. And soon once again a giant Meteor comes hurdling down at Law and others.
Law panicked now, he could course use his room ability but for how long? It's either he runs away right now or dies, cause he can't break down the two of them together. And that too is a question whether he can run away.
Gritting his teeth he quickly thinks of a way to handle both Fujitora and Daflamingo. And that's when suddenly he remembered the Kunai which Kirito gave him.
"Throw this at the ground when you are in trouble," Kirito said back then. Law just hope this works.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a special kunai—Kirito's Hiraishin Kunai. With no other choice, he threw it to the ground, hoping Kirito would come to his aid.
.
.
.
Kirito appears instantly not knowing why exactly the law called for him. "What's the problem," Kirito asked with a nonchalant attitude as he appeared out of nowhere, still with Shisui in his hand.
"Be quick, I was planning a few dozen assassinations," Kirito said but didn't wait for an answer as his senses tingled, telling him he shouldn't have come here. Looking up he saw a freaking Meteor heading right towards them.
'FUCK.'
Kirito almost shouted as he instantly entered into sage mode and held the sword with both hands, ready to draw the sword.
"Great Water Divider," Kirito shouted as he drew the sword. Shisui's black blade was already covered with Kirito's armament haki, which itself was enhanced with sage mode.
A powerful sword energy rushes at the sky. The power of the sword was strong, enough that it even make Kirito raise his eyes for a second.
The sword in his hand really did deserve his fame.
B...OOM.
Not only did the sword energy cut the meteor in half but also crushed it into many smaller rocks, saving both Kirito and Law.
This all happened just under a few seconds after Kirito's getting there.
Both Fujitora and Daflamingo were stunned a little, but only for a little. Kirito appears there out of nowhere. And that swordsmanship was no longer able to cut a meteor like that.
"You never said you are a swordsman as well." Law though wasn't a fanatic when it came to swordsmanship but he himself was a swordsman and was interested in other swordsmen, especially powerful ones like both Zoro and Kirito.
"Yeah, though I don't have a good sword right now to use it all the time. This one's Zoro's. Probably.
And what the hell? Who calls others like this at that time? Can't you call me when I have at least a few seconds to assist with the situation?" Kirito said and complained at the end.
"Not the time Namikaze. Get ready, that Marine is strong. I can't handle both him and Doflamingo together." Law clicks this tongue and turns his and Kirito's attention back to the fight.
"Okay, but you owe me one for this. Say which one you wanna fight. I will take the other one." Kirito said as he also got ready. He had Shisui on his hand while in sage mode. And though he wasn't using Haki anymore. But both Doflamingo and Fujitora were cautious of him.
It's not just anybody who can cut open a meteor like how Kirito did after all.
"You handle that Marine. I will face Doflamingo." Law said as he rushed at Doflamingo with his own sword.
"Sure, why fight an admiral when you can choose a pirate." Kirito sighs and he too turns at Fujitora.
He actually himself wasn't planning on fighting Doflamingo. He rather not until he took care of his underlings. But now that he had a chance, he was pondering whether he should just kill the bastard.
He actually would have but the Marine in front of him won't let him. And Kirito felt it. This person was strong.
Chapter 279: Chapter 279 : Kirito vs Fujitora
Law ran inside the forest, Doflamingo right behind his trial. Kirito was standing in front of Fujitora, blocking his way.
"Hello, may I ask who you are?" Kirito asked as get out of his sage mode and he saw the uniform that Fujitora was wearing. This particular uniform is only worn by both admirals and vice admirals of the navy.
He didn't have much knowledge about the post-time skip One Piece but he did know that after the war in Marineford. Kuzan left Marine and the mad dog Akainu became fleet admiral.
He also learned about Fujitora through spoilers and fan fiction. But what he wasn't sure about was how he exactly looked.
"I am Issho, though you can call me Admiral Fujitora," Fujitora replied as he was ready to fight. Kirito on the side was lucky that Fujitora was blind. He didn't see his face nor did Law call him by his name.
He doubts that the quiet 'Namikaze' which Law said while they were battering was caught by Fujitora.
"And who are you? It is only natural that you to give me your name as well." Fujitora asked.
"Ah yes, I am just a little ninja looking for his girlfriend. Currently, I am working with those pirates but I firmly want you to know that I am not a pirate and don't intend to be one any time soon.
I fully intend to just help out until they return the favour and help me find the girl I am looking for. Nothing more and nothing less. I don't want a bounty on my head if possible.
So, I'm sorry but I rather not tell an admiral my name." Kirito shrugged and of course, Fujitora was tracking all of his moves with his Haki.
"I see, but I can't let that happen. You are helping those Pirates. The reason doesn't matter. I have to arrest you here and now." Fujitora said as he got ready to fight.
"Ah well, it's not like we both didn't see this coming." Kirito shrugged as he too got ready.
Fujitora was the first one to attack as he increased the gravity on Kirito. But to his surprise, the Kirito in front of him vanished. Even his Haki was confused at this time.
No ! he didn't vanish, he changed his place with a wooden log. A normal shun shin but a very useful technique if mastered to the extreme.
"Fire Style."
"Fire Ball." Kirito waves hand signs and brews a giant fireball towards Fujitora. Fujitora saw the fire coming and was confused.
He thought that Kirito had space power because of how much he had observed him. So the first attack was unexpected.
But this level of attack was nothing for Fujitora. He just manipulated the gravity and dodged the attack.
Kirito didn't want to kill Fujitora. As much as he has learned from the little spoilers he knew about him, Fujitora was genuinely a good guy. So he rather not harm him if absolutely needed.
'Water Divider.' Kirito sends a sword energy towards Fujitora. Again Fujitora was easily able to dodge it.
"That was rather underwhelming. Where is the power you show when you divide that meteor earlier ?" Fujitora asked in confusion.
"AH, you see I am not exactly trying to fight you here. Just hold you back. No need to use attacks which might hurt you. Honestly, I rather not have my bounty increase, in case you guys learn who I really am in future, just because I could harm an admiral." Kirito shrugged as he got ready again and ran towards Fujitora.
Shusui in hand, he sends multiple sword energy towards Fujitora while Fujitora himself takes out his sword and clashes with Kirito.
But only upon a single contact, Kirito was pushed back.
'Fare enough. The physical power of people in One Piece World is insane. Especially when that person has an Admiral title attached to his name.
Kirito infuses his chakra into his muscles, going to use his chakra to infuse strength from now on.
.
.
.
While this was happening, both Robin and Ussop found themself in an underground place, surrounded by many miniature people around them. They capture them.
Actually, they went together with Law to hand over Caesar but ended up getting caught in the fight later on, only to be later captured but little people call themselves Dwarves.
This later caused them to understand who was this person and what their plan was regarding Doflamingo.
Apparently, they too wanted to bring Doflamingo down. And surprisingly they also knew where Sugar was.
Their plan was exactly like what Kirito thought before. Kirito planned to take care of Doflamingo's underlings, especially Sugar before fighting him. And those small people were planning on doing the same.
So, when Ussop pretended as a descendant of Montblanc Noland. Those small people who happened to have a history with Montblanc Noland ended up believing Ussop and released both him and Robin.
Only later on does he realise that they wanted his help to defeat Doflamingo's underlings and knock out Sugar so all the people of Dressrosa who are trapped in the toy form can turn back.
.
.
.
The situation with Luffy was also interesting as he was currently disguised as Lucy, to participate in the Tournament to win back his brother's Ace's Fire Fire fruit.
Chapter 280: Chapter 280 : Doflamingo
Both Kirito and Fujitora were holding back, Kirito didn't even enter into sage mode or use Haki and just used his Swordsmanship to fight with Fujitora, though a little reason was that he didn't want to show many of his Ninjutsu to Fujitora if possible.
Fujitora was holding back becuase he just didn't want to help Doflamingo. It doesn't matter whether he catch Law today or not but he wanted Doflamingo gone.
He himself can't do that. The Marines and World Government will know it sooner or later, so fighting with Kirito here was better, he can only hope that Law can take care of Doflamingo.
Kirito was also thinking along the same line. Not that Law can beat Doflamigo. He is not sure if some plot armour bullshit will take place here but if not then normally the current Law is not that strong that he can beat Doflamingo alone.
The thing he was thinking just in the line of Fujitora was that the Marine and World Government would know everything. They have an extensive information network. There is a possibility that some of the CP members are even here. And that is why he immediately transforms into someone else.
It doesn't matter anyway as Fujitora can't see one way or another.
Due to Kirito being here, the fight between both Law and Dofoflamingo's fight ended up lasting longer than Kirito desired.
"I have to say that I am getting a little bored. Say Marine San. Will you go after Law if I were to get out of there now? I really have other work to do besides acting like fighting with you.
I am sure that you too are fed up by now and have much more important things to do." Kirito asked, at least the conversation seemed a little more interesting than acting like they were fighting.
Fujitora didn't immediately answer. It seems like he too was pondering what to do. Ultimately he sighs and puts his sword back into his sheath.
He too was annoyed by this point. he tried actually beating up Kirito as well to just get rid of him but none of his attacks hit. He always dodges it. So there was nothing he could do.
If only Fujitora knew that Kirito's observation haki which he had since he was only 5 or 6 years old was the most developed Haki in his arsenal. Even seeing the future to some degree is possible for him.
Nothing is unseen by him when fighting. It's just that he can't keep this up usually alongside his other powers like Sage mode and KCM. The concentration required is way too much for him. He is getting better but still wasn't there yet.
But here he is not using anything else. So it's easy for him to keep this up for a long time. But it's inevitable that he has to learn this.
"Fine, I will not pursue Trafargal Law for the time being. But that doesn't mean that I will not arrest him." Fujitora reply.
He honestly was conflicted about whether he should go after Law, Straw Hat or even Kirito in front of him.
"Agree, it's not like I am his nanny or anything. Go after him any other time and I won't bother you." Kirito replied with a smile. Intent to talk more with Fujitora with the intent to get some info out of him, he was about to talk but that's when he sensed movement on Law's and Do Flamingo's side.
'Where the hell is this guy suddenly going ?' Kirito sensed Doflamingo moving towards the east. Expanding his senses, he found that Doflamingo was moving towards Sunny.
"Fuck." Kirito curse.
"Sorry Admiral San. But Doffy is not playing by the rules. I gotta go now. Nice talking with you." Kirito shouted as he immediately vanished from his place.
.
.
.
Law was stunned when Doflamingo suddenly ran off towards the upcoming Sunny. He at first didn't understand Doflamingo's intention but then his eyes widened. Gritting his teeth he ran after Doflamingo.
He knew that there was not even a single person right now in Sunny who could defend the ship against Doflamingo. But Law too was helpless. During the fight, he wasted too much energy to again use his devil fruit. So the only thing he could do right now was to run after Doflamingo.
Doflamingo on the other hand attach his strings to the clouds itself and use them to fly around in the air. That was pretty dumb, have no idea how that works but whatever.
Nami, Brook, Chopper and Momonosuke who just beat a member of the Donxiqote group saw something coming towards them with fast speed.
Only when that person came near that they realise that this person was none other than the Heavenly Yuksha, one of the seven warlords of the sea himself, Donquixote Doflamingo himself.
"Ahhhhhh, why he is coming here." Nami, Chopper shouted animately, tears appearing in their eyes while they themself worried.
The only one capable of fighting Doflamingo on the ship currently was Brook. But that doesn't mean Brook was an opponent for Doflamingo. He was the obvious choice because currently, he was the strongest in sunny while most of the ship's heavy hitters were not there.
Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, even Law and Kirito. Anyone could have been a better match for Doflamingo.
"Hahahaha, I knew that Straw hat would come. There is no way that he will resist the urge to get his brother's devil fruit.
But neither of you is going back alive." Doflamingo shouted with a maniac smile on his face.
A shiver went through Nami. She frantically looks around to find a way to beat Doflamingo. She knew about her own power, it wasn't enough to beat a warlord of the sea. Especially one of the strongest ones.
She was also aware of the power level of people currently in the boat. Both Chopper and Brook might be stronger than her usual but even they are no match to Doflamigo.
Her mind raced fast as she noticed Doflamingo ready to attack.
That was when suddenly her mind clicked and she took out a three-prong Kunai given to her by Kirito.
"Please work, work...
Kirito." Nami shouted pleadingly as she threw the Kunai not at the ground but rather towards Doflamingo instead in excitement.
Of course, the Kunai won't send any kind of chakra flair to Kirito if it's not being dug into an object. And there was no way that it hit Doflamingo.
So of course Kirito's won't get any signal from the Kunai.
Fortunately for the members of Straw Hat, Kirito teleported to this kunai himself when Nami threw it towards Doflamingo.
