Chapter LXV.
Last Time.
Diamante looked down at Rebeca. "Rebecca, do you know how your mother, Scarlett died? The way that toy soldier was crying was truly pathetic."
Underground Trading Port, S.H.C.
"Ōra Ōra: Burēdoshotto. (Aura Aura: Blade Shot.)" Thane shot blue blades at Trebol who jumped away using his fruit powers. As they fought, Robin went to check on the others just as Tate used her claws on Trebol.
Up above with Thunder Soldier, the lift went to the top floor as Lao G kicks Thunder soldier to the wall. As he was remembering CP-9 giving the real news and Rebecca telling him she's entering the tournament before the Gnomes with him grabbed him and took off.
Down below, Usopp hid with Leo who explained, Thunder Soldier was the first toy created but Sugar didn't make a contract on him to follow the family.
"When he was a human, his name was... Kryos! The strongest gladiator in the Colosseum's history! He is our Captain!"
Now.
Royal Palace; Basement Level 1, Rampart Tower.
Zoro Vs. Pica.
Zoro dodged the pillars being sent at them, and swung Shusui And Kitetsu to slice them. He looked up, and saw a bridge formed above him as a face formed on it and two arms came out of the walls and attacked Zoro.
Zoro sliced one hand before being grabbed by the other. He sliced through the hand and landed on the ground.
"He's still undamaged," Zoro said looking up at Pica.
Two more arms came out getting Zoro to curse. "This guy just won't quit! How do I even attack him?"
Royal Palace, First Floor.
Thunder Soldier And The Gnomes.
Thunder Soldier skated down the halls as the Gnomes flew beside him, attacking any of Doflamingo's men along the way.
"Get out of my way!"
They continued on, discussing the plan before Gladius walked to them.
"We'll distract him!" One Gnome said to Thunder Soldier before flying ahead.
Gladius' forearms suddenly expanded before he grabbed the two Gnomes. His arms expanded even more before they exploded.
BOOM!
Thunder Soldier skated past Gladius who dashed forward and grabbed Thunder Soldier by the neck.
"I'm a rupture man who ate the Pamu Pamu no Mi. (Pop-Pop Fruit.) I can make my own body explode... As well as..."
Gladius trailed off as Thunder soldier's head started to grow. "Any minerals I touch. I can easily blow a tin toy like you to smithereens!"
"Let go of me! I have to... Fulfil my mission! Rebecca!"
"Rupture and die!"
"Jetto Stampu! (Jet Stamp!)"
"Kobura Panchi! (Cobra Punch!)"
Gladius was kicked by Luffy in Gia Sekando. (Gear Second.) and punched by Naruto who was in his Hachimon. (Eight Gates.) Mode.
"Soldier-san, where are the others?" Luffy asked holding onto Thunder Soldier.
"They're not with you?" Naruto asked looking at Gladius.
"Straw Hat, Naruto-kun. There's no time!" Violet said getting Gladius' attention. "Straw Hat? Maelstrom? Violet?!"
"Gladius?!" Violet yelled looking at the commander.
"How dare you... Betray the yo-!" Gladius stopped as Naruto hit him with a Haki infused fist that sent him into the wall. The trio ran down the hall and turned into a room. Luffy jumped out of the window and stretched his arms up to the next floor.
They stopped at another window where Doflamingo was watching the finals with Baby 5, Riku, and Buffalo. Luffy tried to go in, only for Naruto and Viola to stop him.
"Wait! We need to wait for the others to finish their plan." Violet said in a hushed tone.
A few minutes went by before Luffy spoke up. "Oi. (Hey.) How long are we supposed to wait here?"
Naruto looked to see Viola suddenly open her eyes, and spoke. "Long-Nose is having a little trouble getting Sugar to pass out."
"Don't worry, we can count on him," Luffy said crouching beside her.
Naruto looked as Thunder soldier was looking down in thought before glancing to the room.
Toy's House.
Dellinger kicked Franky over into a large support as Machvise, and Señor Pink watched. The Marines aimed their weapons at Franky, waiting to make their move. They fired at Franky, only for the bullets to bounce off from his machine implants.
They ran to Franky, only for Franky to punch the floor, sending them flying back.
"I've decided to go on a pointless rampage, so prepare yourselves," Franky said holding his hand out. "If I went underground with these guys after me, I'd get in the gnomes' way." He said to himself before attacking.
Underground, Thane Vs. Trebol.
"Ōra Ōra: Shi Enban! (Aura Aura: Death Disk!)" Thane threw a blue circular saw blade of aura at Trebol as Tate ran to Trebol, picking up speed.
Thane added Haki to his hands before punching Trebol using his Barukan Ken (Vulcan Fist.) technique that sent Aura shocks through Trebol's body.
"Beto Ranchā. (Beto Launcher.)" Trebol jumped back and threw several flaming snot balls at Thane.
"Oh damn it! Why'd I have to fight this guy!? Why couldn't Law!?" Thane yelled out before throwing several Aura blades at Trebol.
"Tate! Dōmō Kiba! (Ferocity Fang!)" Tate ran forward and bit Trebol's arm.
"Ōra Kyū! (Aura Sphere!)" He shot an Aura Sphere that exploded on contact. "Tate! Heruhaundo! (Hellhound!)"
Tate had aura cover her body and started to gain more speed before catching on fire. She tackled Trebol down on the ground before Thane got on top of Trebol and looked down at him.
"Ōra Ōra: Yami Batsu! (Aura Aura: Darkness Punishment!)" Thane's eyes became fire like as Trebol screamed before fainting.
(A/N: Picture Marvel's Ghost Rider's Penance Stare.)
"AAAHHH!" Thane looked to see Usopp scaring Sugar by accidentally eating the fake grape and blew fire out of his face. His eyes popped out as his tongue came far out as well.
He saw a golden glow cover the area before the toys turned back into people, or animals before hearing yelling above.
"Operation SOP, Success!"
Palace, Naruto, Violet, Luffy, And Kyros.
Naruto smiled as he looked to see a male take Thunder Soldier's place.
He is a large muscular man, with long, flowing hair and a pointy beard that points up. He's wearing a classic gladiator's cape and metallic wristbands and holding a sword. He also has a scar on his forehead and is still missing his left leg.
Naruto looked to see men bring in Den-Den Mushi to report on the toys turning back and the riots taking place at the moment.
"'Maelstrom' Naruto."
Naruto looked to see the man in the Hawaiian shirt he saw earlier. "That's me. And you are?"
"Kingston Kohein"
Naruto's eyes widen as he remembered something.
"Kingston 'King Predator' Kohein. That Pirate who just joined Kaido's crew? He was the one who killed Minato and Kushina!? He just had a 140 million bounty!"
Naruto heard Sengoku's voice speak on the Den-Den Mushi. "Obviously he must have had someone help him."
Naruto narrowed his eyes as Kyros dashed inside the room.
"You look just like your father."
"Don't you dare speak about him!" Naruto dashed down as Kohein ran down the hall and jumped out of the window.
Naruto followed after and they landed in the courtyard. Naruto glanced up to see a golden glow take over the city before looking back at Kohein. He added Haki to his fists before dashing to Kohein who did the same.
They clashed fists, creating a shockwave that broke the windows behind them.
Inside, Kyros sliced Doflamingo's head off getting shocked looks from everyone.
"Ten years. We've had to endure your rule for ten years!"
Buffalo tried to attack, only to stop as Kyros raised his sword to his throat.
"It's time for all your lies to be exposed!"
"Mingo died! But I wanted to send him flying..." Luffy said as he and Viola stayed at the window as guards came running down the hall.
"There they are!"
"Get them!
Colosseum, Finals.
Burgess attacked Sabo several times, who dodged each attack before hearing Diamante taunt Rebecca about being the one who killed her mother.
Suddenly, Diamante looked up as the crowds glowed gold before all the toys turned into men, women, and animals.
"What the hell? Trebol, you were supposed to make sure nothing happened to Sugar."
"That seems to be the country's secret, Rebecca."
They looked to see Sabo pounding the arena with his fists looking around.
"Everything has a core. If you can find that core, you can turn any situation around."
"Now you're spouting confusing nonsense too, grand-senpai? (Senior?)" Bartolomeo asked before seeing Sabo add Haki to his fists.
He pounds the ground, having the arena split up into sections, separating everyone.
"Ryūsōken: Ryū no Ibuki! (Dragon Claw Fist: Dragon's Breath!)"
Koala watched from the stands as Sabo jumped on the fish that had the chest, rip it open, take the Mera Mera no Mi. (Flame Flame Fruit.) and took a bite of it as he grabbed Rebecca.
"YUCK!"
Sabo removed his disguise and had fire cover his fist, making him smile. "Hot! The flames really did appear! I've become fire! No wait, it's just my imagination. It's not hot at all. I've become fire! Ace! I'm using your technique!"
The fire became larger as Sabo threw it down towards the others. "Hiken! (Fire Fist!)"
A fist made of fire hit the water, and the ground underneath having the water drain down, and into the port underneath. The others fell down as well and looked up in surprise.
Earlier, Naruto Vs. Kohein. (1.)
"Kingusu Hōmuran! (King's Home Run!)" Kohein hit Naruto with his bat, sending him flying into the wall, and crashed through it.
"Kōkai! (Steel Body!)" Naruto used his updated Tekkai (Iron Body.) and dashed back to Kohein before kicking him back. "Kyōmon! (Gate Of Wonder!)"
Naruto opened his seventh gate before dashing to Kohein, leaving a crater behind him.
"Kingusu Shuryō Ejiki! (King's Hunting Prey!)" Kohein hit Naruto six times with his bat hitting his elbows, knees, and each side of his torso. Naruto fell to his hands and knees as Kohein put his foot on Naruto's head.
Only to be thrown up as Naruto pushed up, and jumped to catch his head. "Janpu Katta! (Jumping Cutter!)" Naruto brought Kohein's head down onto the ground.
Naruto panted for a moment before standing up, and walk back to the building. Only to stop as he heard something behind him.
Looking back, his eyes widen as he saw Kohein stand up, and started to change into an 11' foot golden lion/human hybrid.
"Heh-heh, I ate the Zōn-kei Genjūshu. Neko Neko no Mi Moderu: Nemean Rion (Mythical Zoan. Cat-Cat Fruit Model: Nemean Lion.)" Kohein said before disappearing. Naruto turned around and blocked an elbow strike before being sent back to the wall.
"Kingusu Hiji! (King's Elbow!)"
Naruto pushed the rubble from him, showing tears in his jacket and blood dripping down his forehead. He got up and got into his stance, only to stop as he saw Kohein looking up, eyes narrowed.
Naruto looked up as well and saw string going high in the air and form a cage over the island.
"That son of a bitch! He's using Torikago (Birdcage) when Kaido has men in here? Including me!"
"Torikago? (Birdcage?)"
"It's a technique that'll slice anything in it's path. The cage will get smaller by the day and slice everything, or everyone in its path. Our fight ends here Maelstrom."
"Nani!? (What!?)"
"It'll do no one any good if we both die, we need to kill Doflamingo before-!"
Kohein stopped as the castle moved away to the far side of the island as the others jumped out of the room. Law suddenly dropped down and looked up in horror.
Kohein went back to his regular form as Doflamingo created several screens on the cage and took over every screen in the city as he controlled people into attacking each other.
"Citizens of Dressrosa And visiting guests. I could simply have ruled you with fear from the start. Now that you know everything, I'm sure many of you want to kill me. So I've prepared a little game."
"A game to kill me. I'm in the royal palace. I won't run, nor will I hide. If you can take my life, naturally the game will end. But there is one other way to end it as well. That is, if you take down every last one of the people I'm about to identify. Furthermore, I will put a hefty bounty on each of their heads."
"Kill, or be killed. Everyone in this country will be hunters. There is no way out, except for you to kill! No one can save you. No one can escape from this bird cage. Communication beyond this island is also impossible. You will all die without anyone outside ever realizing a thing."
"Your crazed neighbors will continued to... Mercilessly attack everyone. Be they your family, your friends, or even the citizens you strive to protect. You can run and you can hide. But there isn't a single safe haven inside this cage. Will everyone die first? Or will you all end the game first?"
Naruto stared up at the screen, missing Kohein, and Kyros leave.
"Scream, hate, suffer. You are all innocent victims. Think about it. Will you come and kill me? Or fight alongside me to bring judgement upon fifteen fool who stand against me? If you choose incorrectly, the game won't end."
Suddenly, Zoro ran over after Pica went away, and moved the castle away.
"For each star, you get $100 million. They are the outlaws of Dressrosa! First, the one-stars..."
Naruto saw pictures of Rebecca, Robin, Nojiko, Kin'emon, Viola, and Franky come up with a gold star by them.
"Next, the two-stars..."
Next, pictures of Kyros, Zoro, and Thane with Tate came up with two gold stars by them.
"The three-stars..."
Pictures of Sabo, Luffy, Naruto, Law, and Riku came up with three stars beside them came up.
"And finally... The man who has angered me the most today. He's the one who forced you all into this cruel game. The one who kills him... gets $500 million!"
A picture of Usopp came up with five gold stars beside him. And a new nickname of 'God Usopp'
"NANI!? (WHAT!?)" everyone yelled out in shock as Naruto turned towards a hole in the ground near them. He dashed away, and jumped off the wall towards the hole. He slid down and saw Robin with the others of her group.
"Naruto-Senpai! (Senior!)"
Naruto saw Bartolomeo shout as Nojiko ran to him, taking her wig off.
"Everyone Okay?" Naruto asked before seeing the men around them grin before running to them. And suddenly fell down as Naruto used Haoshoku Haki. (Conqueror's Haki.) to knock them out, leaving only the pirates alone.
"Let's go!" Sabo said as they started to leave. Naruto looked back and saw Kin'emon talk with Robin about looking for Kanjuuro and had to leave them.
"Be careful." Robin said before catching up with the others.
"You don't have time to hesitate. Time is ticking, people are dying, and the town is burning. Kill me, or kill the fifteen outlaws. Now, let the games begin!" Naruto heard Doflamingo finish with a laugh.
Pura-Pura-Pura.
"Zoro?" Robin answered her Den-Den Mushi.
"Hai. (Yeah.)"
"Where are you?" She asked before hearing another person.
"Is that Robin?"
"I'm with Luffy and the others. I'm guessing Naruto went to you?"
"Hai. (Yes.)"
"We're at the Royal Grounds. We've been put in a really aggravating situation." Zoro explained before they heard Luffy speak.
"Robin? Did you see that? Mingo's really annoying. But Usopp's bit was hilarious."
"What the hell, Luffy!" Usopp yelled as the Gnomes carried him as he can't move his body.
"Rebecca was on that list as well, you think she's Okay?"
"She's with us Luffy. The Colosseum was above the underground port. Sabo created a hole for them to go into." Naruto said before Rebecca spoke up, running beside him.
"Oh, perfect timing, the soldier's here as well."
"Did Soldier-san... Did Soldier-san turn back into a human? Lucy, what kind of person is he?" Rebecca asked Luffy.
"What Kind of person? What are you talking about? That one-legged soldier is... Your dad!"
Rebecca's eyes widen before Naruto caught her as she started to cry.
"He's that guy from the statue at the colosseum! The soldier guy wen somewhere. But listen Rebecca. Don't cry yet. I won't let the soldier die. Make sure you stay safe! Sorry I couldn't give you the Mera Mera no Mi. (Flame Flame Fruit.) that you wanted to eat."
"But in exchange, I'll beat the crap out of Doflamingo! So stay with my crewmates. I'll end this game right away. Stay alive! You got it?!"
"Hai! (Yeah!)" Rebecca replied as they made their way to where the factory for making SMILEs was before it was moved above ground.
"Luffy, tell me who's there on your end." Robin said as they climbed the dirt and stone hill.
"I'm with Zoro, Traf, and..." Luffy trailed off before they heard Viola.
"Riku Dold the Third, and me, Viola."
"I see. So there's five of you."
"I can go back if you think they need me." Naruto said having Robin look back.
"No, Usopp's down for right now, we can use the help now."
Koala and Sabo split up getting Robin to sigh.
"I'm here with Usopp, Rebecca, Thane, Nojiko, and Naruto-kun, We're coming up to meet with you."
Royal Grounds, Law, Luffy, Zoro, Riku, And Viola.
"Do you understand, Straw Hatter?" Law asked looking up.
"Our plan was to destroy the Smile factory to make Doflamingo and Kaido clash. If you take out Doflamingo now, Kaido's rage at losing the Smiles will be directed at us. It'll mean we'll have to fight an enraged Yonko! (Emperor!)"
There was a moment of silence before Luffy spoke, eyes shadowed by his straw hat. "We can worry about that later. Just look at this country! I've gotta do something!" He finished yelling at Law.
He then wrapped his arms around Law and Zoro before taking off to the castle.
Docks, Marines.
Bastille was with Issho and Jiraiya as they captured people who Doflamingo took control of, Tsunade working on injuries on one of the ships.
"We have to restrain as many of these people as possible." Issho said as the Marine took groups of people chained up to the tents near them.
Jiraiya moved away as Issho gave the order to focus on the Straw Hats, and Law instead of going after Doflamingo.
Koala.
Koala jumped onto a ship in the underground port. "Now, I can investigate undisturbed." She went into a room full of boxes and crates before opening one, and found it full of weapons.
She closed the lid and saw a sticker with a skull and crossbones on it. "This is..."
She ripped it showing a crown with 'DER' painted on the box. She took a picture before speaking. "A trading vessel from the Kingdom of Biggshcots, disguised as a pirate ship. The shadows from several countries have come together in this port."
"What do we do now?!"
She stopped as she heard several men get on the ship and talk about destroying the ships. She jumped out and landed on the deck as several men held torches.
"I can't let you do that." Koala said to the men, having them turn their attention to her.
"Who are you?!"
Koala got into a Gyojin Karate (Fishman Karate.) stance. The men dashed to Koala, having her move to hit each with one strike, knocking them out.
"Seriously.." She said catching the torches. "I'd appreciate you not burning valuable evidence." She finish tossing the torches out into the water.
Issho.
Issho walked down the street before stopping as he heard Maynard speak up.
"Why, Issho-san?! Doflamingo can't be allowed to be a Shichibukai. (Warlord.) any longer! We should capture him now!"
Issho was silent as he moved his head to look at the top of the cage.
"I'm sure the Navy has done the same thing all along." He said after a moment of silence. You've been in this organization a long time, right, Vice-Admiral?" Issho asked, gripping his sword hard.
"Have you always ignored... These enraged screams? They're not crying. They're furious! Do you think the World Government... Are kamis?!" He asked getting Maynard to fall on his ass. "You will obey my decision."
Luffy, Law, And Zoro.
The pirate trio dropped down in front of Marine, Doflamingo's men, Dellinger, Señor Pink, Machvise, and civilians.
"I'm so killing you first when this is all over, Luffy." Law said looking around before they dashed away. Suddenly, Luffy was grabbed by Señor Pink who swam in the ground and grabbed Luffy by the legs.
Machvise jumped high in the air as Luffy pulled himself away, stretching his legs. Machvise hot Señor Pink as Luffy pulled him forward.
Dellinger appeared and tried to kick Luffy. "Pisutoru Hai Hīru! (Pistole High Heel!)"
Only to lose his balance as Zoro pushed him forward and had Dellinger kick Machvise instead. Luffy's leg became free having the trio dash away. Only to stop as Issho walked in front of them.
"The blind gambler?" Luffy asked as Issho stopped in front of them. "I'm gonna go kick Doflamingo's ass! Get out of my way!"
"You're spirited, I'll give you that. But..." Issho said holding his sword in both hands. "I cannot step aside."
"You gonna fight?" Luffy asked staring at Issho.
"This jobs brings its share of bad karma."
Luffy coated his right arm in Haki before running over and punched Issho, who blocked by unsheathing his sword.
"Get out of my way!" Luffy exclaimed as he held his ground against Issho's sword. He jumped back as Issho attacked, and left a crater where they stood.
Zoro dashed to them, and attacked with Shusui, and Kitetsu.
Royal Palace.
"Doflamingo-sama!" A man yelled running up to Doflamingo. "Straw Hat Luffy just started a fight with Admiral Fujitora and his battalion!"
"I see. Let them fight." Doflamingo aud before hearing a high voice.
"The Navy and the pirates..."
Doflamingo looked to his right and saw an extremely broad, tall, intimidating and muscular man.
His hair is long and lavender, wavy and light, which hangs down to his shoulders. Under his mask, he has a straight mustache. His eyes are yellow. The most distinctive features on his body are his shoulders, which have three spikes protruding out of each shoulder blade that appears to be part of his real flesh.
He is considerably tall, appearing as tall as Trebol and Diamante. There is a tattoo of a purple spade on the front side of both his shoulders.
He's wearing a yellow-gold spiked helmet with a narrow four-pointed star on the front with a spade on the top point; the star covers his eyes in a visor-like fashion.
He's wearing a light-colored spade shaped armored chest plate with the spade symbol attached by light-colored leather straps and a metal chain in-between the light-colored leather straps at the top, with armor plating stretched and wrapped around his sides, and black and white armbands just around his elbows.
He has big and wide arms, hands and fingers, which are adorned with black gloves that reach up to his forearms.
"You could just let me go all out... And I could wipe them all out on my own!"
The other men talk to themselves about that high a voice belonging to such a big man, trying not to laugh.
"There's no need to rush." Doflamingo said from his spot on the wall. "Now listen. This game is something of a royal election. I have asked the populace i the Rikus or the Don Quixotes are more fit to rule the country."
"The citizens will choose their king. They have that right."
"But that'll take forever!" Pica exclaimed having a man hold his laughter in. "We should crush anyone who get's in our way."
"We simply crush the ones who come for us, and enjoy watching the rest kill each other." Doflamingo said pointing his finger up.
"Doffy, I-" Pica stopped as he heard laughter, and was about to attack, only for Baby 5 to attack, turning her right leg into a gatling gun.
"Gatoringu Gāru! (Gatling Girl!)" She took a drag from her cigarette and looked to Pica. "If you attack, there wouldn't be a corpse left. His family wouldn't appreciate that."
"I'm sorry, Baby 5."
Doflamingo sighed as he explained his mother died when he was eight, and he killed his father at ten, getting shocked looks from the group of men. And that his commanders are his family now.
Naruto, Thane, Nojiko, Robin, Rebecca, Bartolomeo, Hack, And Usopp Colosseum.
The group ran up to the crowd stands as Kitchi dropped down beside Naruto. Naruto used Haoshoku Haki. (Conqueror's Haki.) to knock anyone that tried to attack them.
Once they got to the wall to the Flower Hill, Robin created hands on the wall to climb up.
"Cien Fleur: Supaidā Netto! (Hundred Flower: Spider Net!)"
Suddenly, the city started to shake.
"What the hell?" Naruto asked as they climbed to the top. Looking at the break in the wall, they saw buildings move around before a very large stone body form. "Pica!" Naruto exclaimed before looking to the others. "Keep moving!"
"Now, everyone who dares to oppose our family... I will take you on!" Pica said in a high voice.
"What the fu-HA-HA-HA-HA!" Naruto laughed out loud and swore he heard Luffy do the same.
Naruto-kun. It's not polite to la-" Nojiko scolded Naruto, only to stifle a laugh herself as Thane laughed hard as well.
They saw Pica raise his right arm to strike something in front of him as they continued to climb. The area shook hard as Pica hit the ground creating an earthquake. As they neared the top, Naruto saw Pica attack another spot with his left arm, only to have it break apart as it reached the ground.
Luffy, Law, And Zoro.
Luffy, Law, and Zoro ran towards Pica as the Colosseum's fighters followed them, wanting to kill Doflamingo to repay the debt of Usopp saving them. They broke up to fight Doflamingo's men who tried to attack them.
Suddenly, Pica attacked again, punching multiple spots to get them to stop going to the palace. As his fist connected to the ground, Luffy, Law, Zoro, Abdullah, and Jeet ride on top of Fighting Bull and ran up Pike's arm.
"Go, Ucy!" Luffy yelled out as Ucy mooed.
Pica regrew his arm as he noticed the group and had Luffy jump from Ucy, and went into Gia Sādo. (Gear Third.) in his arms. Luffy ran to Pica and added Haki to his arms as he ran.
Luffy jumped at Pica who brought his left fist down to him. Luffy jumped off his fist and attacked Pica's face with both hands. "Gomu Gomu no... Gurizurī Magunamu! (Gum Gum Grizzly Magnum!)"
Luffy broke Pica's head having the others cheer. Luffy caught up to the others and they continued running up Pica's arm.
"Luffy, the head you just smashed was nothing but stone! We're just running on a statue now." Zoro said looking up at the headless shoulders.
"Did he disappear again?!" Luffy asked as Zoro looked around
'Where is he?' Zoro thought before closing his eyes and used Kenbunshoku Haki. (Observation Haki.) to search for Pica.
'He should be close.' He opened his eye as he saw Pica, in his real body come out of the stone in front of them, and smirked. "He seems quite angry."
Pica pulled out a large sword from the ground and slashed at them. Luffy went under Ucy, and jumped away with a laugh. Pica attacked again, only for Zoro to block the attack.
Clang!
"I got this!"
Naruto, Thane, Nojiko, Robin, Rebecca, Bartolomeo, Hack, And Usopp Colosseum.
Naruto, Thane, Nojiko, Robin, Rebecca, Bartolomeo, Hack, And Usopp reached the top just as people tried to climb up after them before Robin stopped her technique.
They looked around, and only saw Viola, and Riku was at the top.
"(Sigh.) I'm guessing Luffy ran off, or Zoro got lost after you told him the bathroom was right beside him?"
Viola ran to him and smiled as Rebecca stayed near him as well.
Nojiko looked at the scene, and crossed her arms under her bust, remembering Nami telling her about Olive over her Den-Den Mushi.
'I guess we can add two more to the talks.'
Franky, Smile Factory.
Franky slid in front of the factory and smiled. He aimed his hands at the door, missing Señor Pink swim to him from behind. Franky was grabbed from behind and suplex by Señor Pink.
"Not that your attack could even scratch the factory, but... I came to settle things with you, just to be safe."
BOOM!
Franky shot an empty building with his laser as Señor Pink let him go. Franky got up and stared at Señor Pink.
"You still wanna fight?!"
"That's what men do, kiddo."
Zoro Vs Pica.
Zoro blocked all of Pica's strikes before Pica spoke.
"I'm going to kill you, you lowlife!"
"Huh? You're so annoying to listen to. Listening to your screeching voice makes my ears bleed." Zoro said cleaning out his ear.
"Teme! (Bastard!)" Pica yelled before dashing to Zoro and sliced at him, creating a crater in the stone. "Die!"
"What are you doing, Ojīchan. (Grandpa.) Soprano?"
Pica glared as he turned to look over his shoulder, and saw Zoro behind him, resting Shusui on his shoulder. Pia yelled as he attacked with a fury of strikes.
On the other side of Pica's statue, the others slid down as Law explained he wanted to attack Doflamingo directly as well before explaining Doflamingo killed something that was dear to him tirteen years ago.
Sabo.
Fire surrounded Sabo as he looked to Issho. "I can't let anyone hurt the Straw Hat Pirates, or their allies." Sabo said as fire covered the top of his pipe.
Suddenly, the fire disappeared as his pipe was engulfed in flames.
"Is it the Revolutionary Army's job to protect pirates?" Issho asked glancing down to Sabo.
"Yeah, it is. As a member of the Revolutionary Army, I won't let you through." Sabo replied resting his pipe on his shoulders. He smirked before looking to them. "No, I got it wrong. As a brother I can't let you pass!"
"Oh? And precisely whose brother might you be?" Issho asked Sabo who put his pipe in its holster on his back.
Before Sabo could answer, a Marine shot him with a bazooka. They looked on in shock as Sabo reformed from the flames.
"That won't hurt me. I have the power of the Mera Mera no Mi. (Flame Flame Fruit.)"
The Marines opened fire on Ssbo, only for their bullets to go through him. Sabo ran around and attacked the Marines, setting them on fire, or breaking their weapons.
Bastille attacked with his Same-kiri Bōchō (Shark-Cleaver), slicing the buildings with his strike. Sabo broke the blade with his hand, and grabbed Bastille's mash, cracking it.
He stopped as Issho brought a meteor down to them. Only to get sliced by the birdcage.
It hit the ground, destroying everything in its path as Sabo knocked out Bastille and looked to Issho.
"You said you had to do this 'as a brother' earlier, did you not?" Issho asked Sabo who nodded.
"Hai. (Yes.)."
"The previous owner of the Mera Mera no Mi. (Flame Flame Fruit.), was 'Fire Fist' Ace, who died at Marineford, claimed that he was Straw Hat's adoptive brother. You mean you're his brother too?"
Sabo smirked as he remembered his past with Ace and Luffy. "We exchange cups of brotherhood. We're tied by an unbreakable bond." He then remembered leaving Saki cups as Ace's and Whitebeard's grave before Issho spoke.
"What a troublesome bunch of brothers."
"Remember this... If Luffy ever calls for my help, I'll throw my rank aside and come to his aid, no matter where in the world we are." He said before glancing down. 'I never... Want to go through that again!' He thought tipping his hat up.
"I guess there's no point in asking you anymore questions." Issho said unsheathing his sword slightly
"You don't care anyway, do you?" Sabo asked smiling at Issho.
"I don't have any sake to go along with your stories." Issho said using his power to hold Sabo in place.
'Luffy... You're our little brother!' Sabo thought before bringing his pipe back out, and had it catch fire.
He caught fire as well before flying to Issho and then went up into the air. He dropped down and clashed with Issho's sword as a shock wave rolled off from the strikes.
'I will... Protect Luffy!' Sabo thought creating more fire.
Naruto, Thane, Nojiko, Robin, Rebecca, Bartolomeo, Hack, And Usopp Royal Plateau.
Robin called Luffy on her Den-Den Mushi.
"This is Luffy. The man who'll be King of the Pirates!"
"Luffy, it's Robin. We're still at the Plateau you were at before. Where are you?"
"We're at the first level of the other Plateau and heading for the Sunflower Field."
"The Sunflower Field is on the fourth level." Viola explained as she looked at the Den-Den Mushi.
"This is Leo, leader of the Tontatta Tribe. We'll be escorting Rebecca-sama, the big rooster-human, Naruto, and Robinland there... At a super high speed." Leo said before Robin spoke.
"Let's meet up at the Sunflower Field on the fourth level."
"How will you guys catch up?" Luffy asked before Leo replied.
"I'll explain later! See you at the Sunflower Field!"
"What's your plan?" Usopp asked from his spot.
"Kabu-san, please show them!"
Kabu yelled out and they suddenly saw Gnomes on flying yellow beetles.
"We'd like you to board them." Leo said as the women looked down. "What's wrong?"
Naruto saw them look a little disgusted before each was handed a string to hold onto a small group of beetles in each hand. Leo and the others kicked them off having the Crew yell out before hopping over the roof tops as the beetles picked them up over each gap.
Franky Vs Señor Pink.
Franky shot at Señor Pink whom swam around to dodge.
"Swim, swim, swim, swim... So annoying!" Franky said as he stopped his attack. "You swimming teme! (Bastard!)"
Señor Pink swam underneath Franky, and put him in the surfboard submission hold.
"Let go of me. Sutorongu Raito! (Strong Right!)" Franky attacked, only for Señor Pink to swim under the ground and came out behind Franky who turned.
"That wasn't too bad. Bring it on." Señor Pink said gesturing Franky to come over to him.
Suddenly, The Gnomes yelled out to Franky of a plan to get inside the factory as he dodged an attack by Señor Pink. Señor Pink. grabbed Franky, and suplexed him again.
Zoro Vs Pica.
Zoro landed on Pica's sword before running down and attacked. Pica blocked the strict, breaking the stone around them.
"You ashole! You just stepped on my sword!" Pica yelled at Zoro.
"So what?" Zoro asked with a smirk.
"I'm gonna kill you!" Zoro jumped away, and landed behind Pica.
"Even when you're mad, your voice is soprano. That's just a big ass dull sword. No matter how many times you try, it's no use!" Zoro said having Pica turn to him and slam his sword down.
Zoro dashed to him, and smiled. "Nitoryu. (Two Sword Style.)" He looked up, and saw Pica turn to stone. "I see. That's how it works." He said before jumping fro stones that tried to wrap around him. "Enough playing around. Get ready!"
Pica formed in front of him, in his real body.
Luffy And Law.
Luffy and Law ran in a tunnel as a shortcut before they came across water. Ucy stopped and Luffy looked back to see Doflamingo walk to them.
"It's you! Doflamingo!"
"This is just a slanted water well. There's no shortcut here. You weaklings working together..." Doflamingo sid, deflecting Luffy's fist. Doflamingo raised his hand, and made a finger gun.
"Straw Hat!" Law yeled as Doflamingo shot a small ball of string at Ucy. "Tamaito. (Bullet String.)" He shot several more at Ucy, having the bull fall over.
"Moocy..." Luffy said as Doflamingo took several steps over.
"You have no sense of crisis! So cheesy! Anyone can kill you guys like this. There are some Bakas. (Idiots.) who are saying they'll kill me, rampaging out there... It's amazing how you found people who side with you under these circumstances. I've given you due respect for that special quality of yours since the War of the Best."
Doflamingo said as Luffy was submerged in the water, head only thing being above.
"But... You're actually this dumb! Why did you choose him, Law? You used to be a more promising man. Even when you were a kid, you were more ruthless and more cunning! Am I right?! Who made you... Into such a coward?" Doflamingo asked Law who just stared at him.
"Urusai! (Shut Up!)" Law yelled at Doflamingo. "I'm not willing to become like you! I've been... Saved!"
"By my brother Corazon, you mean? If you haven't become a coward, why do you want to die in vain... Alongside this dumbshit?" Doflamingo asked making his handgun. Only for Abdullah and Jeet to dash in and attack, Abdulla skewing Doflamingo through the chest.
String came from Doflamingo, revealing he's another string clone. After getting Luffy out of the water, he went into Gia Sādo. (Gear Third.), added Haki to his arm, and attacked the ceiling all the way to the ground above them.
Luffy and Law ran to the palace, and came up to Cavendish who gave them a ride on his horse, as well as Kyros who jumped down on the back. The other fighting along by keeping the me from attacking.
They made their way to the castle before stopping as large wind up nutcracker dolls stood in their way.
"NANI?! (WHAT?!)" Luffy yelled out as the nutcrackers walked to them.
Kin'emon.
Kin'emon was looking around the area where the 'toy' went to after they were deemed broken. "Kanjuurou! Answer me if you are here!" He yelled out before everyone heard growling.
Kin'emon looked to the walls, and saw a dent in them before sighing.
He walked over and saw the dent was just a hump that was painted and moved it way, revealing a man sitting behind it.
"Kanjuurou!"
Kanjuuro's appearance matches that of a traditional Kabuki performer. He has bright long red hair that reaches down to the floor with the front hair sticking out and down to his chest, with big lips and blush marks on his cheeks.
He is rather tall, as he appears to be a similar height to Kin'emon. He's wearing a traditional samurai outfit with a ribbon in the middle and zori for footwear. On his back Kanjuuro carries a large brush.
"Kanjuurou!" Kin'emon yelled hugging Kanjuurou who rubbed his eyes.
"Oh, Kin'emon! I am sorry. I presume I made you search for me a bit." Kanjuurou said looking at Kin'emon. "Queer occurrences kept taking place, so I was planning on hiding myself in the wall for awhile. But I fell asleep before I knew it."
"Anyway, Kin'emon, I cannot believe you returned!"
"What are you saying? My apologies for the long wait!" Kin'emon said with tears in his eyes.
"I had faith in you. The wait was no trouble at all. Do not be so stiff and formal, nakama. (Friend.) With my sorcery, I lacked the problem of procuring food." Kanjuuro said holding a badly drawn lettuce in his hand.
Kanjuurou pulled his brush out, and badly painted a bird on the wall that came to life before painting badly drawn ladders so the others can get out as well.
Naruto, Robin, Bartolomeo, And Rebecca.
Naruto used Haoshoku Haki. (Conqueror's Haki.) to knock the people firing at them out as Bartolomeo gushed at him.
"Let's go!" Naruto yelled out, kicking off a ledge to get higher in the air to go to the next rooftop.
To Be Continued.
A/N: Thanks for reading and let me know of any mistakes.
Beta: Memodo Shiki.
SPOILER: Stop reading or skip one if you can if you don't want to be spoiled on the story.
1. Void803, wanted the fight to be short and the real one take place when they face Kaido, or his Crew.
SPOILER OVER!
Speaking of Kaido, is he in Wado, or on his way there? I forgot as I don't watch the anime after I started to read the Manga back at the end of the Marineford War. I myself aren't sure only because I find it hard to just go straight to one Emperor right after fighting one now in the Manga. (For any reading way after I updated this Ch. this is before Ch. 869 and they're starting to try and leave Big Mom's Island.)
If you didn't read the top A/N. thanks for the 1 mil. views and I put up a new poll on what to write next using the top 20 as the top 3 stayed tied. I'll do 1 more Ch, for JL, and EMH, and 2 more for Shinobi before focusing on HR to finish it out since we're in the last ten Ch.'s.
Net to be updated is Shinobi On Board.
Nothing else to say.
Talk To You Later,
Lone Wolf out
