Hi there, heads up I wanted to make a bigger chapter, but I got tired and didn't wanted to drag this chapter for too long. I am happy with this length, so we are going to use it. I hope you all like it and enjoy it. I am not trying to make things so off hand, because I know if the Justice League came to Wano they would have defeated Kaido on day one, not just these guys but if the entire league together in the style of a Crisis then they have a good chance. I am sorry, but when I was planning this series I needed to make sure the connection makes sense. Thank you all.
At the Wano border sea
The big mom pirates were pretty much in a shake state. After the attack of King and those new faces their signature ship was in a pretty bad shape, if it wasn't for Perospero Devil Fruit they would have just sunked and be at the bottom of the ocean but the eldest brother covered the ship with his candy, making sure to connect all the loose part so the ship can still be somewhat still be part wood and not 100% candy.
"How did Kaido got new allies, and we never heard of it? Our intel should've give us something.'' Said Daifuku.
"Maybe it was a very recent alliance, there hasn't been enough time to be spread around the New World.'' Said Smoothie.
"Well, Kaido must have got really good allies because breaking the Mama Chateau is no easy task and they were doing as if this was just a regular ship. My candy is strong enough to stick everything together and not be melted by the sea water. I mean I just did on a quick instant.'' Said Perospero.
"We get it Big Brother! You saved us! Now we have a bunch of things to think about it.'' Said Montodoor.
"What do we do now? King and those guys are probably patrolling the sky for any upcoming threats. We can't just be like sitting ducks.'' Said Flambe.
The oldest brother just took a seat and still had a smirk on his face.
"We have to wait here to get back, I could tell that those others guy were faster than King and might be a bit stronger than him. Waiting here might be our best bet at the moment.'' Said Perospero.
"What! We are just going to seat here as Mama is at the bottom of the ocean!'' Said Flambe in shock.
"Mama vivre card hasn't shrunken, is still intact and nothing major is happening. She must be alive and stranded somewhere. The worst possible outcome might be that one of Kaido men or ally must have grabbed her and put in her prison.'' Said Perospero.
"Well that's not the best situation but better than Mama being dead.'' Said Daifuku.
"She is in enemy territory. Even with her power Kaido will send as many people its necessary to capture her.'' Said Gallete.
"Even though those two were once part of the same crew they are now emperor, who would love to see each other dead! I'm sure he would try to kill her at any chance he would have.'' Said Montorr.
"If that were to happen then the ``big mom pirates`` would be renamed as the ``perospero pirates`, has a nice sound.'' Said Perospero with a smirk.
"Hey, hold on just a second big brother! If anyone should be the new captain, it should be Katakuri!'' Said Daifuku pissed.
"You guys stop talking about Mama like she dead!'' Said Smoothie pissed.
"Ok, so what will we do? We didn't bring any of our siblings that are Fishman.'' Said Daifuku.
"We will get stronger; Mama will be fine. Even if she is captured Kaido will not kill her, they have too much history together to just be a quick kill. Now about those new people, let's look over Montdoor books and see if we can get any clues. In the meantime, let's try get this ship fixed before the can starts to melt.'' Said Smoothie.
The Big Mom Pirates nod at their sister, Smoothie might be the strongest female of the family only behind Mama herself. She knew that they might have to fight those two plus King, not to mention whatever might be hiding in Onigashima.
At Kuri
Amigasa Village
Once the plan was settled the heroes, pirates and allies decided to go on. Big Mom amnesia wouldn't last that long and they need it to use that to their advantage to save Luffy and Superman, the group really decided to go over to Udon Region to break the two out of the prison. The crew was all prepared even Tama was coming along which pissed of Tenguyama.
"When did you become a Koinichi!? You arenst as strong as half a man! Return here this instant!'' Said Tenguyuma all pissed.
"AAAAAH!'' Cried Otama going to Black Canary legs.
"I will handle this, take care of the old fool.'' Said Black Canary.
"Sure Canary-chan.'' Said Kiku
"I can understand his worry, but Otama devil fruit might be of great use for us. If any wild animals appear we might use her dangos to help us, tell all of this to him.'' Said Black Canary.
"Sir! I am accompanying them plus Arrow-Kun and Canary-Chan will be with us, both of them are strong to stand with people whose powers are equal to Gods. We have already planned our trek so please inform anyone of our whereabouts.'' Said Kiku to Tenguyama.
"This is still too risky. I should have taken care of Lord Monosuke and Otama! The udon Prison is not place for kids!'' Said Tengyuama.
"We are taking care of them. From the tales that they told me they had child in various war, so if they could handle this sort of problem than we can do it too.'' Said Kiku.
"You girls are being delusional! Delusional I say! What about the gifters?! Or the new allies! What would you all do when…'' Said Tenguyama continue to complain in the snail pen transponder.
"Someone turns this thing off.'' Said Black Canary.
Kiku did that and the group were now just trying to enjoy the landscapes of Wano as they were moving.
"Well this is definitely the most unique transport I've ever taken.'' Said Green Arrow.
Big Mom had found a giant crocodile creature that was big enough to even fit her in its back, once she heard about Oshiruko in Udon she beaten the creature so much that it would take order from them. Once the creature started to help the group he went straight towards Udon, the group was a bit shaken by ridding that creature, but also a bit anxious because they didn't know if Big Mom memory would return at any moment.
They even did her hair, putting on the usual hair style of Wano.
"Is Udon right there?'' Asked Big Mom pointing at a small mountain not far from them.
"Oh no Lilin, Udon is very far but don't worry you will get all the Oshiruko you want.'' Said Green Arrow.
"Ok! I won't forgot this promise Arrow-nee chan.'' Said Big Mom with a smile.
The archer just felt his soul leaving his soul, he usually faced mob bosses and the usual magical lunatic, now this was something that would definitely kill him for sure.
"Alright.'' Said him sweating bullets of fear.
"I am starting to get hungry.'' Said Big Mom
"Do you have food?'' Asked Green Arrow to Black Canary.
"I don't think we have enough.'' Said Black Canary looking at their supplies.
The group was mostly trying to get to Udon as fast as they could, but according to Kiku calculations they should reach to the prison by next day which wasn't a good piece of news to give to the giant woman, but if they keep telling her that they are getting near it might give them some time of piece.
Black Canary grabbed some dumplings made by Otsuru and handed it over to Big Mom, it would give her some moments of happiness so they can be feel calm for a second.
"Here it goes Lilith.'' Said Black Canary.
"Oh thanks Canary-chan! Can you single for me too?'' Asked Lilith like a little kid.
"Later dear, my throat still hurt.'' Said Black Canary.
"Ok.'' Said Lilith.
Green Arrow was analyzing something really important that they had just received, a map of the entire Wano Country, he hoped the others group would get the map too, they saw that while by the map look Kuri and Udon were close to each other but it would take a while to get there.
"This will make the liberation of this country a lot easier. Even when bring the others we can send different groups to different regions.'' Said Green Arrow.
"I hope the others have received their map too?'' Asked Kiku.
"Yes, do you think Batman got a map too?'' Asked Chopper.
"Knowing him he will make copies by thousands. We need to memorize this country like the palm of our hand.'' Said Green Arrow.
"Kiku-chan, how do we know that we arrived in Udon?'' Asked Big Mom to the samurai.
"A large river Wano divides Wano into six regions. The weather differs between each region. Once we crossed that river and feel the weather change this will indicate that we arrived in Udon. We are still kilometers away from the prison.'' Said Kiku explaining everything.
"That's pretty far away.'' Said Big Mom looking at Chopper with a interest.
"Don't look at me!'' Scream him horrified.
"Well, the journey will be worthy, just be patient!'' Said Green Arrow.
The group just wanted to see if they could get to Udon at night. Maybe they could use that as a distraction to get their friends out of there quickly, however it would depend on how the crearture that was carrying them would feel.
While just hanging out Otama saw that Momonosuke was still training with the wooden sword that was given to him.
"He is still training?'' Asked Otama.
"Well, he is the future Shogun he cant be a slacker.'' Said Green Arrow.
"Lord Momonosuke please take a break. You have been like this since we left.'' Said Kiku.
"Oh don't worry Kiku, I can still go own. I have to be in shape for the big battle that is approaching, so I must not falter!'' Said Momo being serious.
The small kid kept using the wooden sword on the back of the giant creature, while training he screamed something odd.
''Snatch!''
For the heroes, pirates and Otama that was just confusing, but Kiku was a bit shocked.
"Lord Momonosuke?! Where did you learn that yell?'' Asked Kiku with a concerned look.
"Oh, ``Snatch`` is what outsiders yell when practicing their swordplay. Zoro-juro taught me it. He told me that it's a way to strengthen my heart when my courage falters.'' Said Momo all simple.
"Did Zoro ever mention that?'' Asked Green Arrow to Chopper.
"I can't remember, Zoro ways of talking about sword is a bit confusing to me.'' Said Chopper.
"Well, in any case do not use that word again.'' Said Kiku.
"What! Why?'' Asked Momo.
"It may be just a coincidence, but in the kuri dialect of old, there was a yell like that too using a word like that is not benefiting of someone like you, Lord Momonosuke.'' Said Kiku all direct.
"What! Come on! Is just a stupid word.'' Said Momo like a kid.
"I won't allow it for you to say it. I am sorry, but its my duty as a scabbard of your family to assist you in every manner.'' Said Kiku.
"Well, the girl has a point, don't say that word again kid.'' Said Green Arrow.
"Alright, I won't.'' Said Momo returning to train.
Green Arrow group kept going toward the Prison, they just hope their surprise attack won't be wasted. Big Mom had to keep being like this if they wanted to have any chance of advancing with their plan.
Ringo Region
At the Northen Cemetery
The good news was that Nami, Robin and Brook were able to escape the party in the Shogun Palace. Once Nami thunder left everyone in shock Shinobu took them and manage to make some escape routes and fly away with her kite in order to get out of sight. It took hours to escape the people in Orochi palace that could fly but in the end they were successful, in escaping they didn't got a lot of information. They were also with Kanjuro who has been looking over the Ringo region for some days.
"Can we sleep? That has to be one of the worst nights of my life! I am too pretty to be cut by samurais and to be attacked by supervillains!'' Said Nami hitting the ground.
"Well at least you managed to hurt some super villains Onami, you should be proud!'' Said Brook.
"I don't care anymore! I was all on board when dealing with Kaido, but I didn't expect to see the Justice League enemies up close. They probably want to hunt me down like animal!'' Said Nami.
"I wouldn't be surprised if they did that.'' Said a dark voice.
The group turned to the side to see Batman and Wonder Woman, entering on the shack that they were hiding in.
"Batman-san! Wonder-san! It's so great to see you two.'' Said Brook.
'How were things in the palace?'' Asked Batman.
"No good, we were spotted, and we ran like hell to avoid your psycho bad guys.'' Said Nami.
"We didn't expect them to be at that dinner, from what we heard around just a few of them were. Some were people that Batman has a long feud with.'' Said Wonder Woman.
"We also heard that a person that caused a lot of trouble in the party was the head of the Yakuza, Napping Kyoshiro. I have to say we might run into some trouble while dealing with a guy like him.
"Oh you heard stories about him?'' Asked Shinobu.
"Yes, Kyoshiro rise to power came once the former Yakuza head was taken away.'' Said Batman.
"When did this happened?' Asked Wonder Woman.
"20 years ago, the most powerful Yakuza head was Hyougoro the flower. He was a feared man but had a good heart, once he tried to attack the Shogun he and his men were all arrested.'' Said Shinobu.
"It's a fancy name.'' Said Brook.
"I agree, but if he was taken away, he is probably dead by this point.'' Said Batman.
"I heard that you all had to help a little girl too, where is she?'' Asked Wonder Woman.
"We dropped her in the pleasure district, she is friends with other geishas there. I am worried about her.'' Said Robin.
"I agreed, a small girl shouldn't be the main focus of rage from a dictator. I know she laughs at him but it's very clear that Orochi doesn't have a moral. I believe this will be something that the Legion of Doom will use at their advantage.'' Said Wonder Woman.
"We also heard about the death of the most beloved Geisha in the country. It's a shame we couldn't saved her.'' Said Batman.
"They took her body so fast. From what I gathered they are disposing her in some random pit for their people.'' Said Robin.
"This is so messed up.'' Said Nami.
"Just two more week until the festival, then this country will be free.'' Said Wonder Woman.
"That's what we have been waiting for 20 long years. We don't want to mess anything on its way.'' Said Shinobu.
"I agree so we need to on constantly patrol and taking few breaks.'' Said Batman all serious.
"Wait what?'' Asked Nami in shock, after that night she wanted to relax.
"Batman-san, I think we deserve some rest. After an event like that we need some time off.'' Said Brook.
"Yes, I have been running around for 20 kilometers giving food to people. I am beyond exhausted.'' Said Kanjuro.
"Alright fine, but did you gather any intel while there Robin?'' Asked Batman to the archeologist.
"Unfortunately all I got was a few things. All I found was what time Orochi will wake up on the day of our battle, along with what will be transported to Onigashima as an offering via the Shogun procession, as well as when the banquet will happen, as well Kaidou favorite meal and the hierarchy of his subordinates and also…'' Said Robin looking all sad while she had got a ton of useful information.
The whole group didn't know why she was looking down like that, this was more than they could even imagine.
"That's pretty much a lot of information!'' Said Kanjuro in shock.
"I guess this will do it.'' Said Batman.
"Let's take a break now, how about we go into one of the bathhouses of the flower capital. I heard they are so good.'' Said Nami.
"Indeed, a bath would be good to wash my failure.'' Said Robin.
"You did better than anyone yesterday!'' Scream Brook.
"We still didn't get a chance to find Kaido Road Poneglyph. Without that we cant go on with our plan.'' Said Nami.
"That's not good, we should try break in the Shogun palace again.'' Said Batman with a crazy plan.
"Wait what!'' Said Nami.
"Oh no, Batman-san you don't need to do that because I saw the Poneglyph in the castle and it wasn't one of the Road ones.'' Said Brook.
"Uh, come again brook?'' Asked Wonder Woman.
"It wasn't a red one, while I was in my ghost form I went into the basement and found a poneglyfh however it was one of the regular ones, not the Road kind.'' Said Brook.
"Dammit, we should have expected Kaido to think about this. He probably has in his headquarters.'' Said Batman angry.
"Well, this at least a big piece of information.'' Said Wonder Woman.
"And what else you found there?'' Asked Nami.
"Nothing serious, all I found once I saw the poneglyf was a room full of wooden human figurines lined up inside.'' Said Brook.
'What? What is he talking about it?'' Asked Wonder Woman.
"It must be Kokeshi dolls in there. People usually like to set them around.'' Said Shinobu.
Batman looked at the group in front of him as he stranded up, he was glad that some pieces were moving along.
"With Green Arrow and Black Canary going to rescue Superman and Luffy we can start making some serious move. Green Lantern and Flash are still with Law and making sure that no suspicions have been spreading around the capital. Thanks to Robin information I shall start making possible outcomes for the upcoming days.'' Said Bamtna all serious.
"There is still the other Scabbard missing, but I believe we can find them in no time.'' Said Wonder Woman.
"Once we gather everyone, we shall call the others and form the main plan. In two weeks by the time the festival is over Kaido and Orochi shall be brought down.'' Said Batman.
The words of the cape crusader were simple and yet powerful, it was like he was uplifting their spirits to brought down those monsters that have been running Wano for years. Now it was the time to shine and with the help of so many heroes the outcome would be something left to be tell for generations.
"This shall be the greatest gathering that the world has ever seen! I can write a song about it!'' Said Brook excited.
"Write the song later!'' Said Batman.
"Ok.'' Said Brook all sad.
"We will meet up later Bruce, at the moment I am going with the girls too. A bath would be nice too.'' Said Wonder Woman with a smile.
"Yohoho, I can even imagine you taking a bath Wonder-chan.'' Said Brook with a smile.
"And I get to see Batman-san in a bath.'' Said Shinobu with a flirty tone but Batman wasn't having none of that.
"I will be monitoring the flower capital. So forget about me.'' Said him all serious.
"AH!'' Scream Shinobu with a heart broken.
"Come on, can't you take a break!?'' Asked Nami.
"You haven't known Batman as long as I Nami, let's just say he is very strict to his rules.'' Said Wonder Woman with a smile.
"Uh! He must be a pain to hang out.'' Said Nami with puff cheeks.
"Totally, you should see trivia night.'' Said Wonder Woman with a laugh.
"Don't mention that ever again.'' Said Batman all serious.
The group all laughed as Batman left, walking around the snowy region of Ringo and thinking of ways to reach the Flower capital. They need it to move things as fast as they could, the fire Festival will be the perfect place to strike, and they couldn't let that opportunity pass.
So yes, I am ending the chapter here. This is all I can master this time and hey we had a ton of fun in here. I liked writing Batman and making these plans, I am having a good time here and I hope you all have some too.
