Nexus HWR 3.8 Dressrosa Part 2:
"Run!"
"The Birdcage is shrinking!"
"Mommy!"
Amidst all the chaos, a small girl with green hair walked behind a globby man holding a golden staff. Sugar skipped to and fro while eating a bushel of grapes in her right hand. In front of her, Trebol laughed loudly at the mass chaos around them. "Doffy! Doffy! Beat them all!" Trebol called out as he saw the Lord zipping around the sky with a few other figures flying around him. He looked back at Sugar who kept eating her grapes and he continued, "Let's go find some more of them to turn into toys."
"Hmm, okay," Sugar said, smiling and laughing like mad after she did. Trebol had no idea how many of them they had already gotten, as the memory of Sugar turning their enemies into toys was erased from his memories as well. He did remember that a toy was just shouting at them though that 'Luffy will never let you get away with this,' so he figured they succeeded in catching another one of their enemies. Only fourteen left, he thought with a smug smirk.
BOOOM! Trebol and Sugar spun to the right as a huge explosion of red flames erupted only a block away from them. Inside the explosion, the ground started to lift up like a giant bubble, and then it popped to make an explosion of similar size to the mass of flames that just exploded. Three figures were running fast away from the explosion and they turned down an intersection to see a fat man and small girl staring down the road at them. Trebol grinned and started laughing as he spotted these young men, "Found you!" He yelled out. The man then sniffed in a long drip of mucus coming out of his nose, before swinging his right arm towards a three-story house on his right. A long glob of gooey gray substance shot off his hand and connected with the front of the building, sticking to it so that when Trebol pulled back the other way, he ripped the house straight out of its foundation.
Screams sounded from the inside of the building as Trebol threw the thing towards the shocked three men facing him. "Who's this guy now?!" Killua shouted, as they had just run away from a spiky haired man who was making the ground behind them explode. They left Natsu behind to fight Gladius, but from the sound of the constant explosions behind them they could tell the battle was being hard fought. Killua raced forward to dodge the building, but the older men behind him shot straight up in the air instead.
Kirito and Sanji could feel several presences inside the house with their Haki, though they did not need it with the amount of loud screaming coming from the flying house. Sanji smashed straight through a wall with his right foot, then shot towards a couple of ladies screaming and holding onto a windowsill for dear life. "Your Prince will save you!" He yelled heroically, grabbing the ladies and then smashing straight through another wall leaving some flames around the edges of it.
"What about us?!" the men left behind in the falling house screamed.
Four teenagers sprinted through the house and grabbed everyone they could before jumping out of there and flying up with the black wings on their backs. The saved citizens calmed down, before freaking out at the sight of four young men who looked exactly the same flying in the air and holding them by the armpits. "Get to the middle of the city," one of the Shadow Clones said, as he lowered the man he rescued to the ground like his counterparts.
The men calmed down and they thanked Kirito for helping them, before running over to the ladies who Sanji was hitting on after lowering them to the street as well. "Thank you Prince!" one of them shouted as she was pulled away by an annoyed man who was probably her husband.
Sanji blew kisses after her and her friends, until Killua shouted back, "Focus!" Sanji spun around to yell at the brat that he was only focused on ladies, only to stare in shock at the kid bouncing off the walls of every building on the street to keep himself in constant motion as Trebol fired large globs of mucus in his direction. Killua was a blur to even Trebol who was getting a little nervous at the sight of the kid's quick movements. Killua was also feeling nervous though as he examined Trebol's mushy lower body that seemed to glide across the floor. Is he a Logia? He looks like one and his power feels similar to many I've seen.
"Sanji, Kirito, combine Haki attacks on him once his back is turned." Kirito and Sanji spun their heads around as they did not see Killua when the kid spoke to them. All they noticed were blurs for a second as Killua bounced towards them and spoke almost too fast for them to understand. When they turned to where the sound was coming from, Killua had already gone back forward to prevent Trebol from firing attacks his comrades' ways. He was too late in bouncing away from Kirito though, and the four Shadow Clones he had jumped in the middle of tried flying up fast to avoid getting stuck in the glob of mucus Trebol fired their way. Unfortunately, two of them did not lift off in time and their lower bodies got stuck.
"Behehehe!" Trebol laughed. The fat man with a long black beard that looked drippy like the rest of his gooey body slid forward much faster than his appearance made it look like he could move. He shot towards Kiritos and the two who made it up in the air dropped down fast to hit him before the man got his other clones stuck in the goo. "No!" Killua yelled towards the older teen, wanting Kirito to stick to the plan. Kirito thought he had his opening though, but all four of the Kiritos opened their eyes wide as the top of Trebol's club-shaped staff popped open and a flame came out of it like a lighter. Trebol laughed even louder as he swung his staff down, igniting the mucus trapping two Kiritos to the ground, and creating an explosion that caught both of the ones in the air who tried to stop when they felt what was coming but did not manage to escape the blast.
"Kirito!" Sanji yelled. The chef shot towards Trebol who was leaping back from the edge of the explosion.
"Stick with the plan!" Killua shouted at Sanji who was racing ahead haphazardly. Those idiots! I said I would distract him so they could get him from behind! What are they doing?! He watched as Sanji lit his left leg on fire and shot forwards at a hundred miles per hour towards Trebol. The executive of the Donquixote family did not dodge the devastating-looking kick though, instead raising up his arms and catching Sanji's foot, a foot that got lodged in a large mass of sticky substance that Trebol created with his Stick-Stick fruit. Trebol smirked at Sanji's stunned look that he was stopped so quickly as he lost all momentum behind him while pushing into the gooey substance.
Trebol brought his arms together around Sanji's leg, but as he started swinging around, Sanji landed a kick with his other foot into the side of Trebol's head. It did not have as much force as his first kick would have, but he still put some Haki behind it and Trebol's head snapped to the side. The executive snapped it back though, only now with a look of rage on his face. He swung his arms harder and a thick gooey rope connected his body to Sanji who started getting swung farther away from his body, until he slammed into buildings and right through them as Trebol continued spinning around, Sanji getting dragged in circles that smashed through burning buildings on both sides of the road.
He's distracted, but- Killua watched as Sanji bounced on the ground and then slammed head-first into a wall, smashing through it and out the other side of that same building in a second. "Damn it," Killua growled, and instead of charging at Trebol, he sprinted towards the extended line of goo spinning towards him, and stopped once he reached the other side of it. The line cut and Trebol's eyes widened as he had no idea what cut it for a second, until he spotted the blur land on the ground, change directions, and fly straight towards him next. Trebol leaned left, just in time too as the boy reached him and stuck a hand inside his body.
Killua's eyes opened wide as he felt his pinky and ring fingers' nails slice through flesh inside Trebol's gooey body. The fat executive who ate a Paramecia Devil Fruit only looked fat because of all the gooey substance around his naturally skinny body. Killua happened to nick the flesh on the inside of Trebol's body, but his attack was not accurate as he could not tell where Trebol's main body really was. While he tried pulling his arm out of the body though, Trebol focused his powers around the boy's arm and Killua felt himself getting sucked in. The kid's eyes opened in panic, then he got slammed in the right side by something other than the man in front of him who was already raising his staff.
Trebol brought down his staff but Killua was no longer there. He spun right and saw a burnt winged-teen hitting the ground and tumbling away with Killua as he had slammed into his younger friend so hard and fast that the teen could not prevent a rough landing. Killua was going to yell at him for the forceful save as he was getting ready to block Trebol's staff himself with his free arm, but he stopped when he heard a voice very similar to the teen's holding him shout, "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" Killua and Kirito looked over to see another burnt-up Kirito putting his hands to his mouth after some hand signs and snapping his head forward, releasing a fireball half the width of the street towards Trebol.
The fireball exploded and blocked the half of the street that the two Kiritos and Killua were on from the half that Trebol dodged back to. The clone who used the Fireball Jutsu vanished after using it and Kirito was panting pretty hard next to the younger boy. Killua glanced at him and he furrowed his brow, "Tired already?" he questioned. "Don't think that will be enough to stop this guy. He feels like one of the big shots here," Killua glared through the flames and he continued, "we should make a tactical retreat and find Luffy or someone to help us out."
Kirito frowned as he did not like the idea of running away, but he heard an explosion behind him and looked back to see large sections of the city puffing out as Gladius intensely fought Natsu. "It will be tough to get past that battle. If you flare your aura maybe we can just call help over to us," Kirito said, looking back down at the boy who he remembered creating a large aura of Nen right before arm wrestling Luffy back on the Sunny.
Killua nodded and as he got ready to do so, he said, "Go get Sanji. I can feel him over there, he's fine but he's too close to that guy without our, help…" The smoke of Kirito's fireball was finally clearing, and the two teenagers stared through it at the three silhouettes on the road past it. "What is Sanji doing?" Killua muttered in annoyance, realizing they had no time to work out a plan as the blond haired chef appeared in his vision right next to their enemy. There was another figure there, a small girl who he spotted earlier but had not been fighting them. Killua and Kirito watched as Sanji got between the small girl and Trebol, and then they watched as the girl rose her arms for Sanji's back and the chef started to spin around with a look of shock on his face after Trebol said something.
"No," Killua whispered, his eyes opening wide and sweat covering his face. Kirito seemed to realize it at the same second and took a step forward, but then stopped and became confused at why his jaw was dropped and his eyes were so wide.
The winged-teenager looked right and left, then turned to Killua and said, "Are you going to flare your aura? The two of us can't beat-"
"That's her," Killua whispered. Kirito looked confused and looked from Killua back towards Trebol, the small girl, and the wooden toy standing in front of her, staring at his hands in horror. Killua did not know why, but his face had a complete look of shock on it a second ago, and down the road from him he could see a small girl and a toy. "Why am I so shocked?" Killua wondered aloud, while taking a step forward with a look of rage on his face. Trebol turned his way after laughing for a second, and the man's eyes opened wide as did Sugar's next to him at the sight of the rising aura of white around Killua's body that flared like flames. "Did you just," he began, while his eyes widened and his irises turned into narrow slits in the middle that scared the crap out of his opponents. "Make me forget, my friend, SUGAR?!" Killua roared, and his aura turned dark, the two in front of him stepping back as it looked like a giant snake had just appeared inside Killua's aura and was glaring at them with as scary eyes as the kid himself had.
Kirito was shocked by Killua's intense power, but when he thought about what Killua said, his eyes popped back open wide and he spun down the road to look at the small girl next to a wooden toy. "Friend?" he mumbled, his body starting to shake as he stared at the toy so helpless at her side. "Damn it!" Kirito yelled, his own face looking enraged and his wings snapping to the sides behind him. He flew forward and Killua raced ahead as well, but they both froze halfway to their enemy, as Trebol reached down and grabbed the toy that appeared on the road next to him.
"Behehe," the nervous man laughed, regaining some of his composure. He rose the toy by the neck and yelled, "You don't want me to break this toy, do you?"
"Who did you turn into a toy?!" Killua yelled his way. He clenched his teeth hard after asking and growled, "Not that I would remember even if you told me. Fucking Devil Fruits."
Kirito turned to Killua to tell him the plan he was coming up with, but Killua's expression made Kirito tense up and freeze in place. Trebol had sweat on both sides of his face, and he opened up his mouth and shouted, "Don't move!" His hand clenched around the small wooden figurine's neck, and Killua's expression only became more enraged. The aura around him that had faltered when Trebol grabbed Sanji's toy form went away completely now, and for a split second, Kirito, Trebol, Sugar, and Sanji all thought he accepted what Trebol was saying and was going to stay put.
Then, Killua's white hair spiked straight up over his head. A white veil surrounded him so much brighter than his previous aura, but there was no aura around him now. It was like Killua's entire body got covered in a veil of white lightning, and Killua leaned his head back as his body surrounded in sparking light. "Godspeed," Killua said. Trebol opened his mouth to shout a threat at Killua and Kirito opened his to yell at the kid not to move and risk their toy friend getting his neck snapped. Both of them stopped with their mouths wide open though as Killua disappeared, and then a horrified, pain-filled scream left Trebol's open mouth as his arm was no longer holding onto the toy falling in front of him.
The toy's eyes opened wide at the sight of a kid in between it and Trebol, his hands up where Trebol's arm just was, one pointed up at the other that was pointed down, both covered in blood. Globs of mucus and chunks of arm were shredded all over the air in between the toy and the man who was just holding it. Killua caught Sanji as he fell, but the toy never even saw Killua's arm move. He got caught even before the image of Killua's arm moved down to catch him.
Killua's eyes darted to look Trebol straight in the eye as the larger man screamed, blood spurting out of his right shoulder and discoloring his gray sticky body. "You- you BASTARD!" Trebol screamed, and his body grew ten times as big in the next second, goo pushing out from inside and sliding down the outside of his body to make Trebol look like a giant goopy mountain in the middle of the road. He rose his left arm and a sticky blue substance oozed out of it that started spinning over and over again until it looked like a giant blue fan in front of his already growing body.
"Kill them," Sugar said from behind the giant lumpy form.
"Ahh!" Trebol yelled in anger, pain, and reckless furor! He swung his left arm down, and then the man's eyes grew three times as large as did the others around him. Killua was in the air near his left shoulder, and his entire arm had detached. The spinning goop went flying straight up in the air to the east, Killua having waited for just the right time to remove Trebol's arm with hands moving so fast that even Trebol's body could not stick to it in time. Killua stopped moving his arms and then slowly turned his right from pointing down with his nails extended out, to pointing up with an open palm, letting the shocked toy he tossed up right before ripping apart Trebol's arm land back in his grasp.
Trebol started to scream as Killua fell from the air, and Killua tossed the toy in his hand backwards, "Kirito, catch." The winged teen behind him had not been able to say a word as he desperately tried following Killua's movements, movements he could not even catch a glimpse of as Killua just seemed to be teleporting around. Kirito reached up and caught Sanji, while Killua turned his head in slow motion towards Trebol who was leaning back while more blood spurted from his shoulders. "Seems like you aren't a Logia like I thought," Killua remarked, and he reached down to his left pocket as he did. He was still using Godspeed so Trebol's eyes darted down to follow his arm only for Killua's left hand to already be right back in front of his body. The kid was holding a yo-yo, a steel yo-yo that weighed a hundred kilograms. "Die," Killua said.
Trebol opened his mouth to shout, but there was suddenly a hole in the middle of his forehead. Killua would have pulled back on the string of his yo-yo, but as he was using it in Godspeed, the steel part shot out so fast that the string could not hold on and it snapped off. Half a second later, Killua saw through the other side of Trebol's splitting head, a crack shooting through the broken bottom half of Pica's stone body out on the hill in the distance. The two halves of the lifeless stone giant started collapsing down towards the city, where hundreds of people over there started screaming.
Son Goku was smiling as he had just figured out how to beat the muscular short-haired executive, Vergo, without having to go Super Saiyan like he thought he might have to. Before he could finish him off though to go fight Doflamingo, he saw the cracking giant form that Pica used to be controlling starting to fall down towards the eastern edge of the city. "Crapbaskets!" He exclaimed, and shot off in a blur of white towards the stone chunks falling towards crowds of civilians who were hiding over there away from the battles and towards the middle of the Birdcage.
Back with Trebol's body, Killua landed on the ground in front of Kirito and they both watched as the tall clumpy form shrank down lower and lower to the ground. Trebol's sticky material coated the street in front of them, and the man's split forehead and skull finally hit the ground as the rest of his body became visible under the dispersing gook. "He's skinnier than I thought," Killua mentioned, as his hair lost its glowing white color and dropped back down to normal. He stayed staring at Trebol's deceased form for a second, before noticing something and snapping his gaze up. "Shit!" Killua shouted.
Sanji and Kirito were too busy looking at Killua's back in shock to notice, but now that they looked up too, they realized that the small girl who used to be on the street behind Trebol was no longer there. "Where'd she go?" Killua asked, spinning to Kirito.
Kirito was confused at why he would ask him first, before remembering his Haki and closing his eyes. He searched around, then opened up his eyes and shook his head a couple times. "I can't locate her," he said grimly. The teen then looked down at the toy he was holding in his right hand. Kirito lowered the toy to the ground, a two foot tall, brown wooden figure with a rectangular head taller than it was wide. It was wearing a red shirt and blue pants, but it looked pretty bland other than the blond hair in a style oddly covering the top right half of his face. "Are you okay?" Kirito asked the toy.
The wooden figure nodded its head, but it continued to frown as it started looking back and forth between the younger men. "Killua, Kirito, do you know who I am?" He asked.
The younger boys glanced at each other, then sadly looked back at the toy and shook their heads. Sanji bowed his head, looking down at the floor himself, They forgot about me. That means Luffy probably forgot too. He's going to beat himself up over this when they get me back… if they get me back.
"Don't worry," Killua said, and the dejected toy lifted back up its gaze to the fourteen year old. "We're going to find Sugar, and we're going to get you back to normal," Killua said. "I'll kill her myself-"
"No!" The toy shouted, surprising both Killua and Kirito who looked at the toy oddly as it had a pissed-off look on its face. "I'll never forgive you if you harm a lady," the toy said, narrowing the swirly eyebrow over its left eye.
Both of the younger boys sweatdropped, "Are you really our friend?" Killua muttered at the toy.
"Kil," Kirito muttered.
"What? He sounds a little," Killua began, and he eyed the toy weirdly, "pervy," he finished.
Sanji's jaw dropped and he jumped up at the kid, pulling his right leg back as he did. "Don't lay a hand on Sugar-chan!"
Killua blocked his wooden foot with one hand, then glanced at Kirito and asked, "You think he's under Sugar's control?"
"Don't know," Kirito replied honestly. He had a bead of sweat rolling down the left side of his head, "There are enough strange people in our group that I wouldn't be surprised if this is how he actually is though."
"I am!" Sanji proclaimed as he landed back on the ground. "I would never lay a hand on a lady, and I won't let you either-"
"What's your name?" Killua asked.
Sanji stopped his rant and turned back to the young kid, "It's Sanji."
"Well Sanji," Killua began. "I don't remember you right now, and I have to admit you're annoying me. So I want to get my memories back because I'm hoping that I actually like you," with that, Killua turned and disappeared down the street. He was no longer moving impossibly fast, so the other two could follow his movements, but he was still much faster than either of them.
Kirito looked back down at Sanji who was fuming about Killua being a brat and about Sugar and ladies. Kirito scratched the back of his head and grimaced at the back of the wooden toy, Did Killua just leave me to take care of this guy? The toy started running forward, shouting angrily, and Kirito sweatdropped, thinking sarcastically, Great.
"How are you still alive?" Gladius growled. The former pirate and executive of the Donquixote family had tall spiky white hair and a pair of green-tinted goggles over his eyes. He had on a thick black jacket with a popped collar all the way up to his ears on the sides of his head, while wearing a tight white undershirt that came all the way up over his chin and even his mouth to the bottom of his nose, so that the majority of his face was covered by either this mask or the goggles over his eyes. He was around six feet tall but his spiky hair made him a whole foot or two taller. He glared through his goggles into the smoke where he could faintly see a silhouette and two glowing red eyes on the head of the figure it belonged to.
The young man in the smoke walked forward, his forehead scrunched up and his eyebrows narrowed towards the middle of his face. He had his teeth bared and he growled, "You think you can kill me, small fry?" Natsu swung his arms out to the sides and the smoke dispersed, revealing the dozens of massive craters lining the street and rows of buildings behind him.
Gladius snarled behind his mask and wind rushed around him, making his big black coat ruffle in it. The ground beneath Natsu started to rise up as if a hill was forming naturally. It rose and rose but Natsu did not turn around to look at it. Even when the ground beneath his very feet lifted up as well because of the ground inflating he did not rip his eyes off of Gladius. Gladius yelled out and the huge puffed-up section of ground ruptured, an explosion that made him lose sight of Natsu again inside it. "My Pop-Pop fruit is unstoppable amongst the executives of the family," Gladius said in a deep tone towards the smoke. "You will not be able to-"
A shadow rose up inside the smoke, up to one leg and then the other. Natsu stepped forward with barely a scratch on him, but his fists were on fire this time and some smoke seeped out of his mouth as he got within ten meters of Gladius whose men had all backed up far away or had already gotten caught up in the executive's explosions and were lying unconscious all over the battlefield. "People like you piss me off the most," Natsu growled as he walked past two groaning men on his right side who got caught up in that last blast. Natsu slammed his fists together in front of his body and a fifteen foot tall red magic circle appeared in the air in front of him. He snapped his head back as his body erupted in flames and he yelled out, "I'm all fired up!"
Gladius pointed his arms forward and his forearms started filling up with air so they expanded ten times their normal width. Natsu shot towards him and pulled his right fist back far as he did, his entire body surrounded in flames. "Fire Dragon's…"
"Bracchium!" He yelled, and his inflated arms burst in massive explosions that covered the entire street.
Natsu screamed inside the blasts, feeling himself get pushed backwards by the force. He snapped his head back forward though as he was about to get sent flying away, and he swung his right fist hard through the explosion. Gladius dropped his jaw as a fist flew through his explosion, and then his goggles cracked and shattered as Natsu screamed, "IRON FIST!" Flames blasted in every direction around the impact point of Natsu's fist and Gladius's face, and then the executive lifted off the ground and flew back so fast he hit a building a quarter mile behind him, before making the entire building explode in every direction around him while blood splashed out of his mouth and soaked through the tight mask over his lips.
Natsu dropped down to the ground and he snapped his head to the left, spitting as he did on the ground. His clothes were burnt and he had black marks on his face and especially on his arms, but he did not look very damaged at all. He glared down the road towards the destroyed building he sent Gladius flying into, but no one was getting back up inside it. The Fire Dragon Slayer smirked, and then he heard a voice behind him, "Natsu?"
He did not recognize the voice, and he turned around to look towards another section of lowered ground in the vicinity. There were two figures standing on the edge of a crater, a little higher elevated than the ground he was standing on, yet the figures were only three feet and two and a half feet tall, so he was on eye level with them. Natsu stared at the two toys, and they looked at him with eyes that hurt his heart. "Who, are you?" Natsu asked.
"Natsu," the girl toy began. She looked like a doll and had curly blue hair on top of her head. "It is Juvia, and Gray," she said, motioning to the robot next to her afterwards who told her its name when they appeared next to each other with similar stories of arriving on the Thousand Sunny, yet not even remembering each other.
Natsu stared blankly at them, and then questioned, "Juvia? Gray?" His voice had no recognition in it, and as soon as he saw the dejected looks on the faces of the toys he knew why. "We're friends, aren't we?" He asked, his face shadowing over.
"Nakama," the male toy corrected, making Natsu even angrier. "Fellow members of Fairy Tail," Gray continued, and Natsu's fists clenched even harder. "Try to remember us Natsu, try," Gray urged.
Natsu closed his eyes. Gray, Juvia. Gray and Juvia. Gray! Juvia! His eyes clenched harder and his fists did as well, but nothing was coming to his blank mind. When he opened his eyes, his comrades in Fairy Tail could see he still did not remember them. Juvia bowed her head in sadness and the robot next to her clenched its metal fists hard. "Don't worry," Natsu said, looking back and forth between the members of his guild who he had forgotten and hated that had done so. "I swear, we're going to get you guys back."
"Natsu," Juvia whispered, lifting her head and looking over into the pink-haired mage's eyes.
"You better," Gray said. "I don't plan on being stuck as a toy forever. We have to get to the Resistance and my comrades."
Natsu's eyes widened and his fists clenched even harder at his sides. Is that why I'm here? That's why we're helping the Resistance? Did this guy- did I come to help him? We must be, really good friends, Natsu growled and his body burst into flames. "I'll be right back," he growled out, then out from the soles of his feet shot jets of flames that propelled him fifty yards up in the air. Natsu did a couple of front flips at the top of his arc then snapped his head around looking for the one they called Sugar.
"WHERE ARE YOU?!" Natsu screamed at the top of his lungs, while the two far below him looked up hopefully. The two toys thought at the same time, You can do it, Natsu!
"You can't touch me," Sugar bragged over at Killua who was standing ten meters away from her. She had a lot of sweat on her face, but she was grinning smugly and she shouted, "As soon as you touch me, you'll turn into a toy and everyone will forget about you!" Holy crap holy crap I hope he believes me! If he finds out I have to touch him with my palms, he'll rip me apart like he did Trebol!
Fortunately for Sugar, Killua was a very cautious person and would not dare touch her even if she did not tell him that straight out. Wish I didn't lose my yo-yo, would really come in handy right now. Before he could come up with a plan, Sugar sprinted forward and to Killua's dismay, she was actually really fast. He leapt back to avoid her and she gave chase, but he was faster than she was and when she ran to where he dodged to, he bent his knees and sprang to the left where he jabbed aa hand into a wall to keep himself elevated twenty feet off the ground. Sugar turned his way and frowned deeply at how fast this boy was, while Killua frowned deeper as he looked at the girl who looked so young.
"Tell me the truth," Killua began as he spoke from his place stuck in the wall. "Are you actually a child?"
Sugar smirked up at him, "Of course I am. What are you, stupid? Look at me."
Killua examined the girl's face as she spoke, and after a few seconds he grinned as well, "Liar." Sugar's smirk wiped from her face, and Killua dropped from the wall with a confident expression on his. "And if you're lying, that must mean you think I won't kill a child, which means you're afraid of me." He stepped forward and Sugar tensed up, but she did not dare step back in fear that he would see past her rouse and go in for a killing blow.
Instead, she rose up her hands and pointed them at Killua who stopped in his tracks. "Long range attack," Sugar started, and Killua's eyes widened. "Toy transformation!" Sugar yelled, and she pushed her right palm forward. Nothing came out of her palm, but Killua did vanish and reappear halfway down the road to Sugar's right.
Nothing happened, unless her attack was invisible. Damn! I wish I remembered what she did to Sanji to turn him into a toy, but I can't recall it at all. He saw her turn his way down the road and Killua clenched his fists, What if even my aura touching her gets me turned? What if she's faster than I think? No, she seems afraid of me. I must have the advantage somehow. Killua's eyes darted to the left side of the road, Well, if I don't want to risk my aura, that does not mean I can't throw something at her. He darted to the side of the road and grabbed someone's front door. Sugar looked at the younger boy confusedly, then her eyes popped open wide as Killua ripped the door from its hinges. She thought about how fast he threw the yo-yo that killed Trebol, and the girl turned around and sprinted away.
"Get back here!" Killua yelled, and he chased after her with a ten foot wooden door held above his head.
"Go Luffy!" Usopp shouted, releasing the back of his slingshot as he did. "Midori Boshi: Planatus Shuriken!"
Diamante turned from the battle going on in the air to the source of the annoying voice yelling his way. He glared Usopp's direction and his lips curled into a smirk at the green ball flying his way. "You really think that-" he stopped as the single ball suddenly split into several green shuriken-shaped projectiles spinning towards him. Diamante's eyes widened, Usopp grinned victoriously, then the man with the sword smirked again and his sword became a blur in front of him as he slashed apart Usopp's attacks.
"Ah!" Usopp exclaimed. "It didn't work!"
"Well how about you try this?" Franky shouted as he ran down the street with his right arm lifted up. His forearm was buffing out more and more and he grabbed the shaking arm with his other hand to control it. Diamante turned the cyborg's way, stopping his sprint towards Usopp that he started as soon as he sliced up the sniper's projectiles. Franky's arm buffed one more time and a hole popped open on the palm of his big red hand. "COUP DE VENT!"
A blast of air shot out of Franky's hand and down the street towards Diamante. The entire time it traveled towards him the attack got wider and stretched into the shape of a cone as it shredded the ground and buildings on the sides of the street. Diamante's eyes opened wide and the tall man swung up his arms while shouting, "Army Bandera!" The ground in front of him rippled like it suddenly lost everything holding it down. The floor waved up in front of the executive and then hardened there for Franky's attack to slam into. A crater formed in the road, but it did not break through it completely and Diamante grinned from the other side of the wall.
"What's happening?!" Usopp yelled, as he tried attacking Diamante but the ground beneath him was no longer stable. Other than Usopp and Franky, there were a lot of other soldiers and toys and rebels all fighting on the street. Diamante's attack made all of them lose their balance and many of them fell down and tumbled over each other.
A half mile away from the fight with Diamante, Dash was sprinting towards a boy he recognized down the road. "Hey Killua! What's-" the ground beneath his feet started rippling out of nowhere and a wave of street passed beneath him, taking him off his feet as he ran and making him soar up into the air. Dash swung his arms around in a panic and he came down hard on the ground that he could not even land on as it continued to ripple.
"Ugh," Dash moaned.
"Dash move!" Killua yelled at him. Dash lifted his head to see Killua running towards him, but he also saw someone on his right who he started turning to, but never finished.
Killua froze in place and blinked a few times wondering why he was so worked-up, so nervous, so scared. Then, the wave on the street ahead of him lowered down and he saw Sugar standing there in front of a toy that suddenly appeared. She turned towards him and smirked at his horrified look, before turning and booking it away. Killua's body sparked electricity and he shot forward, his mind full of anger as he realized the toy he was running past was another forgotten friend. As he was so enraged though, he made the same mistake Dash did, and a wave of ground arose right in front of where he was sprinting, and at the speed he was going he lifted up higher and higher in the air so that he shot away from this part of the city completely, then had to cross his arms and screamed out in agony as he slammed into one of the strings of the Birdcage at the edge of the city closing in on him.
The boy dropped out of the air and staggered back up with blood all over his arms from where they hit the strings and got dug deeply into. He turned back around while the strings tore up the ground behind his feet, and he glared towards the center of the city where buildings were moving up and down in the waves of Diamante's attack. He was pissed at whoever was making that happen, but his fists clenched at his sides and he growled under his breath, "Sugar." A second later, the boy was gone, and then the ground he was just standing on got ripped up by the closing Birdcage.
Diamante glared in front of him as one fighter among all those in front of him marched forward despite the wavy ground. It was the one-legged red toy that looked like a soldier. The toy held a fake rifle in his hands made of wood like the rest of his body. He glared at Diamante through rectangular eyes and the executive scratched the back of his head with one hand as he looked back at the toy confusedly, "What are you- wait a second," his lips curled back up and he started laughing. "I remember you."
"Bastard," the toy said, grabbing his rifle by the barrel and pointing the fatter butt end of it towards Diamante. Others who were getting back up around them all looked over and saw this toy glaring at Diamante with a look of pure hatred. "You destroyed the country of Dressrosa! You framed King Riku-sama! I will defeat you!"
"Uhahahaha! Not many toys in this city know that story! Not many people alive at all know the truth of the Dressrosa on our world," Diamante smirked at the toy and he held up his sword. "It doesn't matter anymore though! That was the old world! The old Dressrosa! Even if people were to learn the truth on this world, no one would stop us! It is no worse than the slavery that exists all over this continent!"
"Raaa!" the toy soldier charged at Diamante, feeling an intense rage inside him that exceeded what he felt for any of the other Donquixote family's executives. He jumped off his one leg and slammed his rifle down on Diamante's sword that he held above him calmly. The executive reached his other hand up to his mouth and patted it as he yawned with as big motions as he could. "I will stop you!" The toy yelled, only for Diamante to push back hard with his sword and slice the toy rifle in half. The soldier went flying and both Franky and Usopp frowned deeply at the sight.
"Weapons Left!"
"Sure-Kill: Firebird Star!"
Machine gun bullets and flaming birds flew at Diamante who leaned back and forth to dodge them all, which was not very hard as even without his Haki, the ground was still so wavy that Franky's aim was pretty off. Usopp's aim was better though, and one of the flaming birds coming at him was moving too fast to dodge. So instead, Diamante lifted up his sword and it rippled above his head for a few seconds, then he brought it down hard and yelled, "HANGETSU GLAIVE!"
Out from the blade of his sword came a projectile slash that not only split Usopp's firebird in half, but also the waving floor beneath it down over a hundred feet and much longer than that. It was like a ravine opened up in the road and it split a building straight in half at the end of the slash. Usopp froze in place and turned his head slowly towards the building that could not support itself anymore and started to collapse and fall down into the canyon that opened in its living room.
He stumbled back away from the edge of the fissure that started not that far away from him and his legs and slingshot were shaking. Usopp took a step back, and another, I can't do this! He's a monster! We need someone else to come handle him! Maybe Franky could- As Usopp thought it, he spotted Franky on the other side of the ravine, down another block twenty yards, staggering up to his feet with half of his face ripped off and bloody. His left eye was glowing red and that side of his face was silver steel instead of the beige of the other half. Jumping out of the ground in between Usopp and Franky was a man oddly dressed as a baby who for some reason looked really cool even as he sucked on a pacifier.
Señor Pink and Franky faced off, and Usopp spun his head to the left as he heard a roar of anger from that direction. The toy soldier had gotten back up and charged the pirate, but Diamante was too strong. Little people ran with their commander this time, but Diamante's sword moved like a snake, zipping around and cutting up the cute small people, making them scream and fly backwards with blood coming out of them.
They're all so fast, and, and I can barely see his sword, and he can cut all my attacks before they even reach him! Usopp's feet stepped back some more and they turned sideways, his fists unclenching, his slingshot lowering down to his side. Screams of the little people, the toys, and all those they had gathered to fight Doflamingo's men echoed in Usopp's ears but he only backed up more. He clenched his eyes shut and thought, I can't do this! Then, right as he was about to be fully turned around to start running away, Usopp's eyes snapped open wide. He froze in place and although his eyes were wide open, what he saw when he clenched them was all he could see in front of him. There were people behind him on the street that was covered in debris and rubble, but those people were transparent. He could see straight through each one of them.
Usopp backed up again, but this way his back was to Diamante who had just repelled another wave of attackers and was about to attack Usopp. He stopped with his sword raised though, and he tilted his head to the side in confusion as Usopp took another step away from, from nothing. Usopp was staring at an empty patch on the street and mumbling to himself, whispering, and then Diamante's eyes opened huge as the younger man shouted, "You're dead!" The sniper stopped moving and he had water in the bottoms of his eyes as he stared at a small girl in front of two taller people, a man and a woman who were both frowning disapprovingly at him. The girl stepped forward and then lifted her head to look up into Usopp's eyes, and when she did, Usopp's legs stopped shaking.
The long-nosed sniper gripped his slingshot tight with his right hand and all the muscles on his arms flexed with veins popping out on them. He snapped his head left hard and glared towards Diamante with a look of rage and determination in his eyes, surprising the man who had seen him start to run only a minute before. "What happened to you?" Diamante called to him. "What are you-"
"I will not run," Usopp growled, then started walking back towards Diamante while lifting up his Black Kabuto in front of him. He knew the figures behind him were no longer there, but each one of their faces were etched into his mind as he shouted at Diamante, "Those screams I hear, I will turn them into cheers of victory!" The little people lying all over the ground covered in bruises and blood lifted up their heads and stared over at the muscular man standing there holding a slingshot up above his head. "Stop crying!" He shouted at them, though he himself had two streams coming down either side of his face. "The great Captain Usopp will save you!"
He snapped his head back down after shouting and he popped a few Pop Greens into the catch of his slingshot. Usopp's mouth was in a deep frown and the sniper glared at Diamante harshly as he pulled the top of his slingshot back farther and farther until it was behind his ear while the shaft was held out a few feet in front of his body. Usopp looked straight into Diamante's eyes, I can't run. This is it Usopp. They need your help. Save them. This will make up for what you did. Usopp screamed and he released a cluster of Pop Greens at his enemy. "Midori Boshi:" he began yelling, "GARDEN ERUPTION!"
Diamante got ready to cut up more of those shurikens or a flaming bird like Usopp attacked him with before. This time though, Usopp did not check what he pulled out of his weapons' pouch. He threw a dozen assorted Pop Greens into his weapon, and when those little green balls popped the battlefield became madness. Diamante made everything start rippling again, but the huge vines of giant plants emerging all over the place just slithered around over the waving ground. Giant smelly plants releasing gases up in the air, more green shurikens, bombgrass, and venus fly traps appeared all over the place and Diamante could not cut them up fast enough.
One of the little people down on his stomach, a few-inch-tall guy named Leo, staggered up to his feet and yelled, "C-C-Captain-Usopp!" Others all around him got up and waved weapons in the air, shouting at the same time, "CAPTAIN USOPP! CAPTAIN USOPP!"
Diamante slashed left and cut a plant about to chomp down on him, then kicked his left leg to escape a vine wrapping around him. He spun and did a backflip while covering his mouth and eyes with one arm to dodge another plant attack, but also to avoid breathing in or getting any of the gas in the air in his eyes. While his face was covered though, Usopp saw his moment and yelled, "Sure-Kill: Exploding Star!"
Diamante lowered his arm fast but by the time he saw the ball flying at him from the slingshot, he had no time to slash at it with his sword. The little black ball hit him square in the face and exploded, snapping his head back and making smoke cover the man. The people already cheering for Usopp roared at the sight of this and Usopp himself lowered down his slingshot in amazement that he managed to finally hit his enemy. Diamante dropped out of the smoke and slammed into the ground hard, the ground that was no longer waving around for him.
He lay there flat on his back for a few seconds, making Usopp think for a moment that he did it. Then, he got up. Diamante got up and the glare he gave Usopp made it impossible to gulp no matter how hard he tried. "I see you don't want to be turned into a toy, 'Captain Usopp!' You would rather I kill you right here! Well, I accept your request!" Diamante reached into his red jacket and pulled out four flat sheets that he threw in front of him. They dropped to the ground and then lost their shiny, flat appearances to puff out into four strange tubes that pointed open ends straight up in the air.
"Witness the power of the Ripple-Ripple Fruit!" Diamante yelled, and out from the tubes shot a bunch of black sheets of paper that flew into the sky high above them.
Everyone looked up in the air where the last remains of Usopp's gas finally faded, and they all stared at the shimmering sheets that hovered high above them. Usopp lost his afraid look, smiled, and then pointed up and started laughing, "That's it? Shooting confetti?! Hahaha!"
"DEATH ENJAMBE!" Diamante yelled angrily as Usopp made a tick mark appear on his forehead. Usopp stopped laughing, and everyone staring at the sky became horrified at the sight of the sky filling with hundreds of spiked black balls that replaced the confetti.
"Diamante-sama! Wait!" some of the soldiers from his own army started yelling at him. Diamante meanwhile lifted up a black object that shimmered and then popped out into a steel black umbrella that he used his Devil Fruit powers on to harden.
"Oh my poor subordinates," Diamante called out in mock sadness. He did turn his head after though and call out, "Pink, get out of here!"
A block down, Señor Pink slammed a fist forward and Franky collided a giant red steel one into it. The two of them pushed into each other, then the force of their punch made them skid back away. Pink frowned at Franky, then said coolly, "You're pretty hard-boiled." The shorter, pudgier man turned away from Franky before the Straw Hat could respond, then jumped up in the air and dove down into the ground like it was water for him to swim away in.
"Hey! We're not finished yet!" Franky yelled after him. He was about to give chase, when a shadow fell over him and he looked up in the air. Franky's jaw dropped at the sight of hundreds of black spiked balls falling down towards him, and when they hit the tops of buildings near them they ripped straight through. His head snapped down and he yelled, "Usopp!" He started running back and the sounds of agonized screams got louder as he got closer to Diamante and the giant ravine near him.
Buildings were falling apart and the little people were too tired and injured to move as fast as they normally could to dodge. The toy soldier jumped left and right to avoid attacks, but soon he would be hit and it would be all over. Franky sprinted straight through all the spiked balls falling down and Diamante's eyes popped open huge at the sight of the man's glowing red eyes and the skin getting torn off his body with every ball that hit him. "What are you?!" He exclaimed, only for Franky to respond by punching his right fist out and it flying at his enemy with a chain connected to it, smashing into the executive who could not lower his umbrella to block or risk his own attacks falling on his head.
Diamante got thrown backwards but he landed on his feet and skid away. Meanwhile, Franky found Usopp holding his arms over his head, down on one knee, his teeth clenched with blood seeping through the cracks as he tried as hard as he could to get back up. Franky leaned his own body over Usopp and yelled at him that they needed to move, but his own voice was pained as leaning over Usopp exposed his back, the one part of his body that was actually still human and made of flesh and bone. "We can't leave," Usopp growled and Franky stopped shouting down at him.
Usopp rose up his head and looked at Franky's scary cyborg face with a bloodied one of his own. "All these people need us to stop Diamante. Help me, Franky."
The cyborg stood up and he cupped his hands over Usopp's head, making both of them protected as Usopp got up on his feet. Franky's mouth was curved into a deep frown, but the sounds of screams around them was not dying down and he nodded his head. "Yosh! Let's kick some butt SUPER bro!" Franky pointed his left hand up and started shooting at all of the black balls to stop them from cutting up their comrades, while Usopp marched towards Diamante who became furious at the sight of Usopp walking across the ground without being hit by any of his spiked attacks.
"DIAMANTE!" Usopp yelled.
"CAPTAIN USOPP!"
"What the Hell is this guy?!" Ben shouted. The young kid had four big muscular red arms and four yellow eyes. Fourarms skid back on his feet and dragged his bottom two arms on the ground to slow himself down. On his right, Natsu pointed one hand behind him and shot out some flames that made him stop skidding earlier than Ben.
Far in front of the two who just got pushed back, a figure in a black cloak stepped forward. He was bald and had three piercings going down his head, with red gems imbedded in his forehead, in between his eyebrows, and right on the bridge of his nose. He had black tattoos under his eyes on his cheeks. The man's mouth trembled, his lips shaking like he was afraid, only to twist up in a horrifying way a second later. "I, am Zormudd," he said, while lifting up his arms that turned raven black.
"Here it comes again," Ben said. A green light surrounded him and he transformed from Fourarms into XLR8. The skinnier alien with thin legs and a slender, aerodynamic body dug its feet down and got ready.
The man's black arms grew twenty times in size and he rose them above the street, shadowing everything below him. "Djinn E-Equip: Af Al-Yad!" The man's voice sounded off and it cracked mid-sentence. His face twitched and Natsu did not like the look of his body as it started glowing. Zormudd covered in bright light, then it shattered like glass around him to reveal his entire muscular body coated in black with only a few purple line patterns cutting through it. Two giant arms ripped out of his shoulders and more came out of his back while the two he held above them dropped down on opposite sides of the road and pointed their hands in at Ben and Natsu.
The boys looked to their sides and noticed eight-pointed stars inside of white circles on the palms of the giant black hands. Before they could make a strategy to counterattack, or prepare to dodge, those stars started to flow and both boys went wide-eyed. XLR8 was fast however, and Ben sprinted backwards just in time to escape the explosion that went off between Zormudd's massive hands. "Natsu!" Ben yelled.
Zormudd started laughing, deep laughs with strange cackles cutting in every other second. Ben looked at the explosion nervously, then heard a voice inside it. "Ben, keep heading towards the palace." The explosion blew away as wind wrapped around Natsu, and the Fairy Tail mage glared at his opponent with an infuriated expression. "I'll take care of this bastard. I'm all fired up!" Natsu slammed his fists together in front of him and a red magic circle appeared in the air.
Zormudd's eyes opened wide as he could swear he saw a giant red dragon standing behind the young man down the road. He spotted the weird alien nod its head next to Natsu and he yelled, "You can try to get past me, but I am the black king! You won't-"
XLR8 vanished and only paused for part of a second when he was on Zormudd's right side. The lizard-like alien stuck a tongue out of its blue face before zipping away at its top speed again. Two of Zormudd's giant hands sticking out of his back slammed down on the road behind him and Ben had to take a sharp right turn down a different road as two blocks got smashed behind him.
Ben let out a breath of relief when he dodged the attack, then turned around and looked back at that destroyed road hesitantly as the huge arms rose up and he saw how smashed everything was. He calmed himself down and a smile came to his alien's face. Natsu will be fine. He's Natsu after all. The kid turned and a black mask snapped over his face. Now, it's my turn to show what I can do.
A blur of blue zipped around the city. Three soldiers of Dressrosa were surrounding one toy with a broken left leg and missing right arm. They suddenly found themselves on their backs and all their weapons were broken, except for the one that was in the hand of a confused but appreciative toy.
Ben raced towards the palace, and he finally saw what he was looking for. More specifically, he saw who he was looking for. He shot forward as a blur and the blond man standing on the edge of his fortress snapped his gaze straight down. Doflamingo glared at the blur coming up his wall, and he swung his right hand down at it.
Ben kept sprinting up, but he jumped off the wall like he was jumping off the floor, using his momentum to keep him going up while dodging all those sharp strings flying at him. Once he was off the wall and in the air though, his speed made no difference to Doflamingo, who pointed his right hand forward and stated, "String Bullet."
XLR8's chest snapped backwards and the rest of his body pushed forward. The alien gasped, then clenched its teeth hard as it fell from the wall of the palace a hundred feet. Doflamingo did not even follow up with another attack, Ben was apparently not worth his time and he spun to face Son Goku who was flying towards him again. "Are you sure you have time to fight me Son Goku?" Doflamingo asked the child who came to an abrupt halt at those ominous words.
Doflamingo's left hand's fingers were twitching and across the city, two people who the toys had convinced to join them froze where they stood like everyone else on the road. Fleeing civilians looked around at soldiers in fear and toys struggled to move a single inch. The two men working with the toys strained their muscles against the invisible restraints, but their bodies did not respond to them correctly. Instead, they turned towards each other and pointed their rifles at one another.
BANG! BANG!
Goku spun around and flew off as a bunch of ki's started dropping fast. He could sense their energies, but had no idea what just happened to them, even if his eyes could see the thin strings covering the city.
Meanwhile, Ben had almost hit the ground but a green light surrounded him at the last second and he rolled into a big yellow ball. He hit the ground hard and made a big crater that he started spinning around and around in. The kid shot out of his crater in a roll up the side of it that sent him flying back up in the air at the palace. "Cannonbolt!" He roared, and Doflamingo frowned as the kid rolled into a ball and started spinning ridiculously fast up in the air.
Then, before Ben could attack, a red light flashed around the spinning yellow alien. Ben un-curled and in a deep voice mumbled, "Uh-oh." The red light flashed even brighter and completely surrounded Cannonbolt. The next moment, a short boy with brown hair replaced the alien and Doflamingo frowned deeply at the kid he recognized from his enemy's ranks.
"You should have been more careful," Doflamingo mocked, while raising both arms above him.
He's gonna cut me! Ben thought in horror.
Something flew in between Ben and Doflamingo so fast that the two of them wondered if they actually saw it. They spun and watched as the thing that flew past them slammed down into a building and blew it apart. Doflamingo looked closer as he watched the thing skid through the ground and rip apart his city. The projectile hit something it could not break through and bounced up in the air, giving Doflamingo a good look at the muscular short-haired man who he had known longer than anyone still in his life. "Vergo," Doflamingo said, watching his unconscious executive lift up with blood coming out of his mouth and his eyes rolled back in his head. He snapped his gaze back to Ben and the kid's fear rose even higher as all the veins on Doflamingo's forehead became more pronounced in his rage. "An eye for an eye," Doflamingo brought down his arms and ten sharp strings flew down at a falling Ben.
The kid crossed his arms, but death was coming anyway. What saved him, was not remembering that he could fly if he tried and getting out of there, or his watch going back into the green. The thing that saved Ben had steam pumping out the bottoms of his thighs. His upper body was covered in black Armament Haki that created swirling patterns on his back and chest. The pirate's black hair spiked up and waved above him. His straw hat flapped around on his back, and Monkey D. Luffy glared straight into Donquixote Doflamingo's horn-rimmed sunglasses.
Ben continued to fall from the edge of the palace walls and he clenched his teeth in anger and frustration as he dropped. His stomach hurt and he looked down to see he was bleeding from that attack Doflamingo hit him with as XLR8. The ground was approaching fast and he tried focusing his ki, but the pain of that attack, along with some attacks that the fire benders and that strange mutant with them got on him before made it hard to concentrate. The best he could do was turn himself in midair and bend his knees, but when he hit the ground his body could barely take it and his bones creaked.
He collapsed to the ground and then rolled over on his back so he could look up in the air and watch as Luffy faced off against Doflamingo. "Straw Hat, you defeated Vergo," Doflamingo said, his veins popping as he did. "Uuhaha, uuhahahaha! You are going to regret doing that." Doflamingo felt like mocking Luffy's strange fat appearance, but the fact that he just took down Vergo with it meant that it was no joke.
"You turned my friends into toys?" Luffy asked. Doflamingo grinned and Luffy snarled as he did not remember forgetting, still not really wrapping his mind around how impossible that was. "You're going to pay," he said, and he lifted up his right arm that he pointed at Doflamingo. His fist pulled back into his own thick forearm, then pulled back more, and more, tensing up his whole arm and making his body shake as he did. Luffy breathed heavily a few times and steam was puffing out of his mouth fast. Vergo was a harder opponent than he thought he would be when the man originally intercepted him to stop him from going after Doflamingo.
Doflamingo noticed this too and he smirked, "Good job partner," he said. The Lord lifted a hand and he shot himself up in the air above Luffy, before swinging his other hand down. "Penta-Chromatic Strings!" Five rainbow colored strings slashed down at Luffy who punched his Kong Gun early to stop Doflamingo's attacks midway between them. His attack was much stronger than Doflamingo's and pushed up through it, making Doflamingo pull himself hard to the left with another string. As he moved though, Luffy's fist bounced off midair and shot towards Doflamingo, smashing him in the side where he tried blocking with two arms covered in Armament Haki.
Doflamingo groaned and pushed back, but Luffy was too strong and his fists broke through, sending Doflamingo flying back into his own palace and shattering one of the walls completely while blowing holes in another ten walls behind it.
On the other side of the city as Doflamingo's palace, a man sobbing loudly and holding a sword above his head froze right as he brought it down towards the screaming woman below him. He stopped, and the sword dropped out of his hand. "Honey, honey!" He dropped to his knees and wrapped his arms around his screaming wife who he was no longer trying to kill.
Near them, Son Goku finally dropped a group of ten people he was holding who were no longer under the control of some unknown force. He spun and dropped those people, shouting, "Wait Luffy!" He shot into the distance with a frown on his face, "I want to fight him first!"
A one-armed robot girl lifted her head and watched the child fly away with his brown tail waving around behind him. "Oooh! He's strong!" She started rolling forward on her treads and she rose up a ray gun in the metal hand she did have. The girl rolled down the road and stumbled over a crack, then when she spun right her eyes opened wide and she yelled, "SUGAR!"
The small executive girl running her way came to a stop, and the robot fired her pistol at Sugar rapid fire. Sugar hopped from one foot to the other and dodged all of the red beams until the robot child's weapon had no more energy.
The girl with green hair smirked smugly and held her hands up. "I see turning you into a toy was not punishment enough!" Sugar took one step forward, then froze as that foot touched down. The robot that started rolling back nervously on its treads froze too, because its metal eyes darted to the left where a teenage boy only a few inches taller than Sugar was standing. He may have only been a little taller, but his white hair was above his head spiked taller than his own head, increasing his height by over a foot.
Killua's entire body was covered in a white veil and lightning sparked off him every second. He looked straight at Sugar whose body covered in sweat as this boy she thought she lost reappeared in front of her. "Wh-Who are you?" The robot behind Killua asked in a scared voice.
"Sugar," Killua growled.
"Sugar? That's weird," the one-armed robot said. "That's the same name as that-"
Killua sweatdropped but decided to just ignore that child behind him. "Sugar, you may be fast, but right now it looks like you move in slow motion." Killua reappeared half the distance between himself and Sugar. "I may not be willing to touch you," he continued, while lifting his left hand up to his head and pressing his index and middle fingers against his forehead. "And your speed may let you dodge the things I've been throwing at you," he continued. All of Killua's body started glowing brighter and brighter, but the lighting stopped sparking all around him and only sparked directly on the tips of his fingers now, and it was sparking violently making everyone in a mile radius turn seeing the flashes coming from that direction.
"But I don't have to touch you," Killua said. He started lowering his arm right as Sugar started running away. "Because I know, you are not as fast as lightning." He pointed his two fingers out at her, holding his thumb up at the sky. "Lightning GUN!" He brought his thumb down to his index finger and all the electricity sparking at the tips of his fingers shot away from him in a visible line of lightning. It flew down the street and Sugar's hair stood on end, her fear reached its peak, and she opened her mouth to scream.
The scream never left her mouth though, as the bolt hit her and her body lit up as bright as Killua's was glowing a few seconds ago. Her open mouth was like a floodlight shining out as the insides of her body fried. Her skin blackened and her eyes glowed, every hole on her body gave off the glow of the lightning that hit her. The point on Sugar's chest that the lightning hit shredded apart, her shirt first and then the skin beneath.
"Dodge that, bi-" Killua stopped with his smug finisher, as thoughts flooded into his mind. Robin and Dash! Nami, Juvia, Gray, Kuro!
Two miles to Killua's left, Sora's head spun around and the boy's eyes went huge. "Guys," he whispered, a smile coming to his face as all the great memories he had of friends he had forgotten rushed back to him. He turned back and looked down to the burning ground below him. "RIN!" He yelled down at the demonic teen who was pressing his sword, Kurikara, down furiously on two swords crossed above Kirito's head while the winged teen was on his knees.
Kirito ground his teeth and he got pressed farther down while blue flames burst out in every direction from the collision of their swords. "Rin," Sora's voice was closer now and Kirito looked through the flames and past the demon attacking him to see the spiky haired teen floating there, no Keyblade in his hands. Sora had tried fighting the half-demon, he had tried holding his friend down only to get pushed back by the flames, nothing worked so far. "Rin, it's okay," Sora whispered to him, directly above the black haired teens now.
Rin's face was demonic and he opened his mouth of sharp teeth and roared. His irises blazed blue like the flames on his hair and all over the city around them. "Listen to me Rin," Sora said, while Kirito's swords were shaking and his Haki was faltering. Rin roared and Kirito's right arm bent back, but he slammed it straight up and yelled out to try and force Rin back, to no avail. Kirito's clothes were on fire and his skin was heating up and getting covered in burns. "Do you remember Rin? Do you remember Kuro?" The crazed teen snarled but Sora's words entered his mind and Kirito noticed his face twitch. The pressure against on his swords weakened and Sora continued even softer, "You remember finding him? How happy you were on Midway Island?"
Kirito uncrossed his swords fast and Rin got knocked back hard. He stumbled away from the teenager who lifted both swords up, though as he looked at Rin he no longer thought he needed them. Rin snapped his head right and down, he had spit coming out of his mouth and he clawed at the side of his head. Rin snarled and snapped his teeth a different way, he roared, and raked his hand through his hair as he bared his teeth. As his teeth bared at Kirito though, the other teen watched Rin's teeth losing their sharpness and the solid blue flames on either side of the top of his head that looked like horns started to fade.
"That's right Rin," Sora said, his smile getting wider as the blue flames everywhere started to lower. "I know it was the demon side of you that got you out of being a toy. Your inner demon is strong and your human side must have been pushed far down, but the fact that you can come out of it shows which is stronger. You're not a demon Rin. You're better."
Rin's blazing light blue eyes closed, and when they opened back up they had lost their flame. His blue eyes stared into Kirito's and he saw the other teen had still not lowered his swords. The sight of Kirito's burned arms and torso made Rin bow his head. I lost control, again. "Damn, you really pack a punch." Rin's head lifted up and he saw Kirito reaching back, his arms filling with pain as he did.
Kirito slid his swords into his sheaths, then looked over into Rin's eyes. "Don't worry about it," he said. Kirito saw in Rin's eyes that second before he bowed his head a regret and guilt he knew all too well. But unlike me, Rin has nothing to feel guilty about. He doesn't deserve that burden. "It's not like you could really beat me," Kirito said and turned away as Rin gawked at him. He knew Rin was staring at his injuries and he said, "I was going easy on you since you didn't know what you were doing, but if you ever want to spar for real, just remember I won't hold back." Kirito turned back to the teen a year younger than him and flashed him a grin.
Sora stood behind Rin and he smiled even wider at what Kirito just said to him. Good one Kirito, he thought. Rin finally chuckled and opened his mouth to say something back to Kirito, but instead he stumbled forward and dropped down to a knee. Kirito spun fully to him looking worried and he jogged over himself. "You have this?" Sora asked his friend.
Kirito looked at Sora and his brown haired friend had some injuries on him as well, but Sora nodded his head to show he was okay. He turned and rose his right hand, reforming a Keyblade that the tip of glowed green. "Cuaga," he said, and his exhausted friends behind him surrounded in green light. Rin stopped panting and Kirito looked down to see his burns fade. The two of them turned to tell Sora thanks, but when they turned around, Sora was already flying away to the west as fast as he could.
Luffy bounced on the air right above the eastern edge of Doflamingo's palace. On his right side, a small boy with a brown tail was floating and arguing with him about fighting the man below them on his own. Flying up on Luffy's right was a teen with spiky brown hair who just held his Keyblades up and glared down at their enemy.
Doflamingo stood still on his palace roof, barely looking winded despite Luffy's powerful punch that sent him crashing through his palace only a minute earlier. Luffy was surprised the Shichibukai got back up so fast, but he still believed he could take him down on his own. "Guys," Sora said, interrupting the two arguing on his right. They looked at Sora, then turned down to the man Sora was looking at with a frown on his face and a bead of sweat rolling down it. Doflamingo's forehead covered in veins suddenly went back to normal although the pissed off man continued to frown deeply.
"Sugar," he said, his eyes dark and his hands clenched at his sides. The ten foot tall man in a pink coat of feathers rose his gaze to those floating before him. "It is time, to start over," Doflamingo said. It almost sounded like he was giving up, but the sudden increase in power all three of them felt coming from him made it seem unlikely. "With Sugar down, there is no saving Dressrosa. I do not know how many of my family this battle has cost, how many of them are still breathing. Viola, Giolla, Monet, this world was not kind to all of my family, but I recreated our paradise." His forehead covered in veins and he continued in a deeper voice, "It took two years and much careful planning to finally become a Lord of the Cooperative, and you brats have ruined everything."
"You tried turning us all into toys," Sora called down at him. "Of course we were going to fight back."
"That Darth Sion mentioned what you did to the Forever Kingdom," Doflamingo replied. "If I were to defeat you for the Emperor, I would have been granted their former lands as well." He frowned deeper and bent down, pressing a hand on the roof of the palace he was on. "It is no matter now. Mugiwara no Luffy!" He shouted. "You harmonized your rubber powers and Busoshoku Haki, seems you have put quite a burden on your body. I wonder how many more seconds you can use that form of yours."
Luffy growled and he lifted up his big hands that started pulling into his body. "Gum Gum DOUBLE CULVERIN!" Luffy slammed his fists forward fast. Goku frowned, but he could tell Luffy only had a small amount of time left to fight so he held back for a second. Goku's eyes opened wide though as did the two with him, as the entire roof Doflamingo was standing on lost its gray stone color, turning white instead. A sea of white strings appeared, starting right beneath Doflamingo's hand and spreading to cover his palace. Two giant spikes of condensed strings shot up in between Doflamingo and Luffy, blocking the two huge fists he just punched and holding them off.
"Vergo did a good job weakening you," Doflamingo began, and the string spikes blocking Luffy ripped in half, then both halves pulled back together around Luffy's fists. He whipped the younger pirate up in the air, then smashed him down at the base of the palace. "Listen brat," Doflamingo snarled off the roof as he walked towards the edge, and at the same time the ground all around his palace completely made of strings started to transform as well. "Devil Fruits have yet another stage to them, called 'Awakening.'"
Goku and Sora spun around and Luffy jumped back up in the air as the ground beneath him, like the rest of the city in a mile radius of them, turned into strings that Doflamingo could control. "This entire city, is a weapon for me to use against you." He looked up from Luffy's round bouncing form and into the eyes of the younger of the spiky haired boys above him. "Now, what will you do? You will not-"
A golden aura flashed around the small boy and the black spikes of his hair shot straight up into a single one. Doflamingo's eyes opened wide behind his sunglasses, fear filling him as he looked into the icy teal eyes of the monster above. Goku's brown tail waved behind him, its fur golden now to match his aura and hair. "The Super Saiyan," Doflamingo said, his teeth grinding and his fists covering in sweat. "The stories are true after all."
"Sora, Luffy, stay back," Goku said. He rose up his right hand in front of his face and curled his fingers in. He lifted his left, balled it into a fist, and snapped his elbow down to his side. The serious boy stared down into Doflamingo's eyes, and he finished, "I am going to end this."
A/N Trebol! Gladius! Sugar! Vergo! The Donquixote family's executives are dropping like flies! Killua hunted Sugar through Dressrosa as the Birdcage continued to shrink on the city. Now that she's gone the toys will all return to being people, and Doflamingo's noticed the battle has shifted, prompting him to Awaken his Devil Fruit. Diamante facing off against a determined Captain Usopp, Cyborg Franky, and the entire resistance of those inside Dressrosa. Señor Pink, Zormudd (Al-Tharmen guy from Magi), and some other baddies still linger in the city, but Doflamingo's the biggest problem our heroes have to face now. Rin's calmed down from his enraged state, but he, Ben, Luffy, Kirito, and so many of our heroes are injured or faring badly. What will they do?! Hope you enjoyed the chapter! Leave me a review telling me what you thought, comments, predictions, etc.! Sorry again for taking so long to update, school's been tough, had another project I started, was on Spring Break without my computer, and this last weekend I was in New Orleans with a beauty so I didn't have much time to write. Anyways, thanks again for reading! Review responses below!

I literally cannot wait for Goku to snap. He snaps only 2 times in the show, when Krillen dies in DB, and when, well, Krillen dies again, in the Frieza saga. I would like to see how he would react, now that he has found out that he has forgotten a person who is close enough to him to make him clothes. XD BTW, great chapter, and I can't wait for more stuff on One punch man, because he was mentioned once when Boros was beaten, and only recently with Ben's new transformation. It's great that you included the monster association, because in this world there are a crap ton of monsters. Keep up the good quality!
Thanks for the review! Not much Goku this chapter, but next one he's gonna be pretty main! Definitely glad I added Monster Association too. That was really like an afterthought as I was finishing up that chapter, and I have a bunch of new ideas I can use with it now. Monster Association, Al-Tharmen, and the Umbrella Corporation are now going to be big enemies of the crew!

I don't think a lot of the older people in their group should that surprised to see one of their own kill somebody. I mean I Know they might be a little surprised to see Timmy attempt it but, a lot of the older characters have defiantly killed in their own series at points. That may sound a bit confusing but I can't really think of another way to word that, so sorry if that seems confusing. Anyway moving on from the whole Timmy Killing bit, I did enjoy the chapter and I'm glad to see that the rebellion toy's are still around. I can't wait to see all the different characters that have been turned into toys. Also I'm not sure if I should if I should take your comment about Goku as foreshadowing or not. O'well only the future can tell anyway thanks for the chapter and I can't wait for the next chapter. Have a good day!
Thanks for the review! I don't think it would be that surprising to most of them if someone they knew killed someone, but the fact that it was Timmy who tried it was what got to them. He got a little rage-y last chapter, but... no spoilers XD. Anyway, yeah I wanted to throw those guys in there, because I also had some cool ideas for random characters who have been stuck as toys for unknown amounts of time, and I know that some of them are going to catch y'all off guard! Have a great day!

I am really likening this story it is one of my favorite fanfictions. I am a big KH fan and really like how you added the organization and Kiari. Doing a one on one (about time!) you dont have to say specifcally who it is but are there going to any more KH characters or FF i would like to see axel and cloud. Have you thought about adding anything like daney phantom? Anyways really like we're this is going keep up the good work. Oh are there going to be more RWBY characters
Thanks a lot! Glad you're liking this story so much. As for more KH and FF characters, there will definitely be more coming into the story this saga. As for Cloud and Axel specifically, I don't know if you remember or not, but in Gray's flashback about the day Timmy teleported him away from Aebrith to Awul, both Cloud AND Axel were on his Resistance team! So they'll definitely come into this a lot as they're the whole reason half of the group came here. I have thought about adding Danny Phantom, but have never found a great place to add him, so someday maybe. As for RWBY... Yeah. Don't want to spoil much, but a certain RWBY main 4 girl will be making her debut within the next 2-3 chapters (full length, not individual parts)! Thanks again and hope you enjoyed the latest chapter!

Well it seems that the fight between doflamingo and his the heroes has begun. By the way lm sorry to ask but I know that kirito ate a devil fruit but I don't remember what it was or if it was revealed
The fight has started and escalated fast! The whole city's already in disarray! Haha thanks for the review, and for your question, Kirito ate the Crack-Crack Fruit. I don't know if I've ever specified it, but for some examples when he fought pain he punched one of the summoned birds and it split head to back, and he punched his Rasengan and Blackbeard's attack in Metropolis and split it and him in half for his like ultimate final attack. He also shouts at the air and cracks it, or stomps the ground to do it, and it's a Paramecia I made up one day. Hope that helps! Thanks again to everyone who reviewed, sorry for taking so long to get back to this, but I'll try to have the final part of Dressrosa up faster this time! Well, 'till next time!
