LW: And now we get to see Law's plan come to fruition. I'm sure it'll be fine…maybe?

Rubber King and Mirror Master: New World Chaos - Building Block Bust! An Entangled Reality Check!

With Sanji, Viola, and the goon squad

"Can you even hear this guy, thinks he's the main character in a romance novel or something" one of the goons scoffed, hearing Sanji's declaration.

Naive to a fault it seems, can't understand he's been played, just like every other mark Violet has taken down" Another nods.

"Hey Sis, if you're done with this nutcase, we can handle it from here, save you having to clean the blood off your dress" a goon offers, somewhere in the crowd, getting what he sees as an agreement when Violet stands up "Let's do this men, the end has come for Black Leg Sanji"

"77 million in the bag!"

Only that didn't happen, as Violet turns, her eyes shimmering as she unleashed something much more combative than her previous technique "Hierro Lagrima: Tear Whales" she cries, a single tear escaping each eye, before the tear expands and morphs into whale-like constructs, who attack her former allies, Sanji dazed and confused watching on, unsure what would come next.

"What are you doing?" he finally croaks out, as she clears the building of enemies, then flips him over and undoes his restraints "Ah, I think I see, you were forced to work for Doflamingo. You'd like nothing more than to kick his teeth in, if you had the chance" he deduces, slowly moving to a seated position.

"You need to get away from here Black Leg" Violet states flatly, unwilling to look him in the eye.

"And what would happen to you if I do that?" he asks, channeling his captain with his bluntness.

"Just get out of here, forget about me!"

"Not a chance! We have a plan, we will get through this" Sanji argues, sitting up and making his way over to the destrait woman.

"No, it won't. This plan of yours is destined for failure, the factory is secure and our Trump Card, she has no weakness. You're all walking not only into a trap, but your death" Violet counters, surprising the cook "Look at your Black Leg, trying to protect one of your own enemies, how stupid can you get? I don't know how you could believe in me… but thank you. It made me happy, even just for a moment" she admits with teary eyes.

"Don't count us out just yet, if you really don't want to work for Doflamingo then leave. You've already attacked your own men that's a resignation letter right there. Come with me, we can sort things out when we meet back up with the others" Sanji argues.

Seeing the blond was stubborn, Violet decided to be direct with this "Look into my eyes Black Leg. From the moment you arrived with Caesar, everything has fallen into place just as Doflamingo expected it to. See my memories for this morning and see just how hopeless your little rebellion will soon become"

"I can do that?" Sanji asks in confusion, before Violet activates her Devil Fruit and it all rushes into his brain, eyes widen as he sees just how deep shit they were all in "That's bad, crafty son of a bitch played us all for fools"

"Exactly. Please leave Sanji, I'm too afraid of Doflamingo to risk it, but you and your friends still have time" Violet pleads, but Sanji just squeezes her hands comfortingly.

"I'm not going anywhere, all this means, is Luffy's adding another notch to his belt for beating a Warlord senseless" Sanji assures her, then pushes her behind him as one of the windows shatters.

"Sanji, there you are!" Vivi grins widely as she reforms from the dust cloud/sandstorm she had transformed into for speed and freedom of movement "I'm so glad you kept your mirror on you, made it easier for Kaos to at least give me a starting point"

"Vivi, how lovely of you to come looking for me, but what would the others say?" the blond teases, needing some form of levity given how FUCKED he just learned they were.

"Luffy would kick your ass, then ask for brunch as payment" Vivi chuckles, then notices Violet "Oh, I think I know you"

"Vivi this is Violet, Violet, this is…"

"So, you have one too it seems" Violet scowls, the princess' eyes narrow in suspicion.

"One what?" Sanji asks in confusion

"Did you know the Donquiote family were the original kings of Dressrosa, then they ascended to become Celestial Dragons over 800 years ago? One family didn't, deciding to 'rough it' with us commoners, the Nefertari's" Violet spits "An Earthbound Dragon, but peel back the layers of false modesty, and she's the same, just as rotten to the core as Doflamingo"

Vivi's eye twitches and Sanji has a very bad feeling he understands what's happening: Violet fears and hates Doflamingo in equal measures, but since she can't lash out at him, at least not without signing her death warrant at the same time, she decided to aim for and strike what she deemed a softer target, in this case Nefertari Vivi. And while she's probably technically correct, as he's not sure how many of their crew could take on the demented Flamingo, whereas Vivi could probably be beaten by at least half the crew based on what he knows of her skills, that doesn't mean the lovely dancer hasn't bitten off more than he can chew.

"Excuse me? Care to repeat that?" Vivi requests, her tone frigid.

"Gladly. You and Doflamingo, you're all the same, nothing in this world could love monsters like you, it's why your kind stay hidden away on the top of the world, because we want you down here as much as you want to be here with the peasants" Violet cries.

Vivi closes her eyes and breathes deeply, before they snap open and the pressure wave hits, a wave of golden energy flows out of the princess and floods the warehouse, Sanji's legs shake as Violet falls to her hands and knees, feeling like Pica had just been dropped on her back.

"I'm going to show you what a monster looks like, you spoiled little bitch! I don't care if you sucked Doffy's cock Princess Viola, you don't get to disrespect my family, my crewmates, or anyone I care about!" Vivi yells, her eyes snapping open to reveal black sclera and sandstone brown iris with cross pupils. Sanji also noticed that while some parts of her body seem to be falling apart and turning into sand, any bare patches of skin were turning a golden color, for reasons he just couldn't figure out.

"Vivi, wait, hold on. We all have the same enemy!" the cook shouts, and while he doesn't want to, he spins up a Diable Jambe.

"You'd rather hurt your crewmate than an enemy female, you really are the Simp that Zoro says you are" Vivi rolls her eyes, then with a sneer swings her arm back, sand and wires eviscerating the wall as well as he building right next to them "I know you're there, get out and actually fight rather than scurry like a rat"

"So it seems the Angel of Death really did have an apprentice, shame you won't be able to match the speed of Luke Val…." Before the hooded man could continue his introduction Vivi had completed her strike, quartering him with relative ease, not a drop of blood hitting the cobblestones as the vampire crumbled to ash long before the body would have fallen.

Viola just stares at her, her chin on her chest from how hard her jaw dropped, her body shaking from fear and panic. She thought Vivi was the same pacifist from the Reverie, a soft target for her to kick, but she might be worse than Doflamingo right now, because at least he wanted her alive.

"Did that help, or do we need to unleash you upon the local thugs and see how high a kill count you can reach? Guarantee it's less than Val, Marimo, or Psycho's" Sanji asks, noticing that Vivi was at least fully intact right now, and the Conqueror's wave had stopped, for now at least.

"I can control myself adequately well Sanji" Vivi huffs, though given she wasn't looking him in the eye he had a feeling she was lying to him.

"Think about it this way Vi, since becoming a pirate people have been saying awful things about all of us, but they don't matter because they don't know the first thing about you, what you've been through, or who you've become. Psycho calls you the Ship Diplomat, is this what someone in your position should be doing? Is this how the future Pirate Queen holds her court?"

Vivi scowls before sighing heavily "No, I shouldn't let the whimpering of civilians get under my skin like that, the only voices that matter, are my family" her fists clench and she closes her eyes, breathing deeply before opening them again to reveal the original shimmering blue "We have a puppetmaster to beat the ever-loving shit out of"

"That's more like it, especially because Doflamingo played us like a damn fiddle. We need to inform Law and the others, quickly" Sanji reports, giving a smile seeing Vivi had control of herself, with one exception…

SMACK!

In the blink of an eye Vivi had dispersed into sand, and was right in front of the still kneeling Viola, slapping her across the face and sending her falling to the floor.

"That was for disrespecting my partners. And for clearly disregarding your own diplomacy training, seriously that trash-talking is something I'd have expected from King Wapol not a child of King Rikudol III, he'd be ashamed of your mouth if he was here right now" she scowls, tearing her fellow royal down in a way Sanji was a lot more accepting of: Verbally and emotionally.

Colosseum

"They let an actual Bull compete in this event? Neat!" Laki grins seeing the beast huff and stomp, just as eager as everyone else to unleash carnage.

"The wait is finally over" the Announcer declares, just in time to prevent premature murders as the contestants were starting to get impatient and trigger-happy "Step onto the central platform Block C competitors, this is your time to shine! Just like the last round Block C is bursting at the seams with formidable contenders, I guarantee this is going to be a good one."

Outside

"You gonna tell us about this Flower Field place already or what?" Franky shouts as what remains of his group follows the toy's directions from his shoulder

"Keep running, all will be explained in due time" the toy soldier argues "And stay away from the police"

"You're a soldier, why would you need to avoid the police?" Alvida asks, confused by his actions.

"SOLDIER!" The now group of 5 turned their heads sharply to the colosseum, a pink-haired woman calling out to them from one of the windows.

"Seems like she knows you, who is she?" Kaya asks softly.

"Rebecca" he gasps lowly.

'So that's Rebecca… damn!' Artemis thinks, her eyes widen and a smirk flickers across her face 'She looks like a real-life warrior princess'

"I saw the list of competitors in the Colosseum, I asked you not to enter" he calls up to her, tone sounding mildly scolding "Why did you do it?"

"Because… Because I'll win! You'll see, I promise!" Rebecca cries "And when I do, PLEASE come back! I just want you to stay with me!"

"If you cry so easily, how do you expect to win?" The toy scolds her, Artemis feeling an almost Sanji-esque urge to beat him senseless as his words just made Rebecca cry harder "Come on, we need to hurry"

"You're not just going to leave like that are you?" Kaya frowns.

"He's an asshole, but she loves him, we already established that" Artemis sighs heavily, getting a nod from Alvida, and while she wanted to help, Kaya knew there was nothing she could do, so they just followed on with Franky.

Green Bit

"Very strange" Robin muses as she examines the tiny person "You're the ones who robbed those marines a moment ago, correct?"

"Robin, now's not the time to be having a momen.. HOLY CRAP it's real!" Usopp shouts

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

"What was that?" Ussop squeaks, the tiny people in the grass wondering the same thing.

"Best guess, these critters tried to attack or rob our associates, and learned a Jonin Rank Kunochi with eyes built for detail isn't as easy to beat as fodder marines" Robin chuckles "It's not Tsukoyomi, there would have been no scream, all accounts state those inflicted with that technique go catatonic. Whatever she did caused pain, and it was her, we didn't hear any explosions preceding the scream, so that's all Valentina. There are more of these little things in the forest, potentially an entire tribe or community"

"And we've just walked right into their territory" Ussop summarises with a grimace.

"Correct" Robin nods.

"Anesthetic Flowers!" a high-pitched voice cries, as small pellets shoot out of the grass, hitting both Straw Hats in the face and exploding into a thick plume of smoke, the 2 getting woozy as the mist does its job, causing them to pass out with a loud thud.

Sometime later

"No hidden weapons at Point B, but they kind of slosh and bounce more than expected" was the 1st thing Robin heard as she came to, seeing one of the little ones peeking out of her top, having clearly crawled around all over her left breast. The 2 stare at one another for about 5 seconds, before Robin inhales sharply and the little people start to panic.

"Weapons ready!" One of the critters shouted, the mini warriors all pulled out various spears and guns from somewhere as he leaped onto Robin, at any other time she'd be amused that he landed smack dab in her cleavage, and thanks to her recent growth being relative across her entire body… he was now standing between breasts that by her best guess were larger than most of their homes.

"Don't try to run, you'll only hurt yourself if you move!" he orders, Robin able to feel something holding her down all over her body, she knew she could use her Devil fruit, but that would be a trump card for later if she ended up needing it "I sewed you nice and snug with my Magical Stitching powers" he reveals, amusing the giantess as it was clear this was some form of Devil fruit ability.

"That sounds rather handy, especially for day-to-day issues" Robin muses, glad she was at least able to tilt her head low enough to look at the speaker, they'd pinned/stitched her hair to the ground, not her head after all.

"That's right! Once someone gets a taste of my needle they can't move an inch" he declares "You big people were up to no good again weren't you?" he accuses.

"No, we were exploring and had been told that the island was uninhabited so didn't know we were trespassing" Robin defends "By the way, who am I currently addressing?"

"I am Leo, of the Tontatta Tribe, a Warrior" Leo reveals confidently.

"Ok, at least we have that out of the way. Now for other questions, where are we, and where is the other big person you knocked out alongside me?" she asks, wondering how long she can question them before something else happens.

"Your friend with the long nose? Yeah we captured him in accordance with our laws" the tontatta she'd caught earlier responds, standing just at the edge of her vision, though she did tilt her gaze to the side in acknowledgement.

"Interesting, so this island has a town or community of just little people?" Robin asks curiously, trying to keep her nerves out of her voice.

"Indeed" Leo answers "This place is known as the Tontatta Kingdom. It lies within the Great Forest which we proudly made with our own hands"

"Great Forest? Oh you mean Greenbit, so you're the ones who grew all those giant plants" Robin muses, impressed by their skills, even more so considering their size.

"Correct, there is no plant, great or small, that a Tontatta can't grow" Leo states more than boasts, which Robin finds interesting.

'So let's see, they're most likely the ones who caught the fighting fish from earlier, so their strength is immense, meaning they most likely had no trouble carrying me here, Leo is a Devil fruit user whose power is tailor built for capture and restraint, they're cautious and trigger happy, meaning using my powers is out for the moment to prevent them doing something too stupid and getting everyone hurt … and all that poking and prodding they were doing is making me leak' Robin mentally catalogs her situation, grimacing slightly at the last part, as well as feeling a little milk slide across her skin into her cleavage.

"Spit it out big person, you've come here to destroy our kingdom haven't you, whoa!" Leo yelps, stepping forward to attempt to intimidate Robin, only to slip in the slowly growing puddle and faceplant in her milky bosom "See! Even now you attack me! What even is this sweet concoction? Poison?" he yells.

"Milk actually. Since the birth of my daughter, it's not stopped, in fact, I think my lovers have only made it worse" Robin answers, keeping her sigh shallow to avoid shaking her chest and unbalancing the little Warrior.

"This is milk? And you have more of it?" Leo asks, chewing his lip as he believes the giantess that it wasn't dangerous.

"A lot more, you mentioned my 'sloshing' as you put it, that's because I'm rather full at the moment" Robin explains.

"May we have some? Or a little lot, it's not something we can acquire naturally on this island after all?" the Tontatta warrior requests, Robin's eyebrows rise in surprised amusement at being asked for her breastmilk…. By someone that wasn't Kaos, Hancock, Shirahoshi, or Medusa II.

"I could be persuaded to part with my supply, if I was allowed safe passage to leave the island once I had completed the transaction" she hums, clicking her tongue, only to giggle as Leo finally broke and started to lap at the milk in her cleavage, causing her to giggle and her bosom to shake like a magnitude 5 earthquake.

"Let her go, we will feast like Kings on her Divine essence!" Leo cries, the tontatta getting to work undoing all the stitchings binding Robin to the ground with surprising efficiency and politeness.

'Aw, they're adorably naive and trusting, I kind of want to keep them as pets now' Robin pouts, knowing she can't just 'keep' one, though at least she could sit up now, even if Leo was now buried in her bust while she composed herself and many tontattas went off in search for somewhere for her milk to be collected.

"Leo, what are you doing? You can't just release a prisoner!" The Tontatta leader bellows as he approaches them.

"But she said she won't tell anyone, and she even offered a trade of goods for her life. MILK!" Leo cheers as he squirms out of her cleavage, standing upon the heaving orbs like they were a mountain peak.

"Ok, I'll drain the pool, we can store it there" The leader nods after 2 seconds, then turns on his heels to leave.

'This is way too easy…. But I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth' Robin sighs heavily, but it could have gone worse "Leo, who was that?"

"That's Gancho, the Tonta-chief, basically our version of a King" the little warrior answers, sitting contently on her chest.

"Oh, he seems nice, now I should probably get this over with before things get awkward… also where is my snail?"

"I released it into the wild" One tontatta cheers, causing Robin to twitch as she holds in a facepalm.

"Well, I guess I know what I'm buying in town later" she mutters, before sliding off her dress "Is the pool empty?"

"Yes Miss.. whoa Nellie, we've seen fertility statues with less curvage than you" Gancho gasps.

10 minutes later

"Guys, guys, come quick!" A tontatta with a polka-dotted tail and hat screams as he runs into the village square.

"What happened, is there a problem?" Leo quickly questions.

"No, but please tell me you haven't hurt this big person, her friend is the Great Hero, the one foretold to free us from the oppression of the Big Uns!"

"WHAT!?" what felt like the entire village cry.

"Are you sure?" Leo asks frantically

"I promise, he said he was a great hero and that he meant it, so it must be him"

'Oh Ussop, what have you gotten yourself into now?' Robin wonders with an amused quirk of her lip, which twists into a grimace as she checks her pocket watch, seeing it was 2:57, they'd never get back to the beach in time.

At the Beach

Pura pura pura - Ka-lick

"You there Law? It's Sanji" the cook shouts after the doctor answers the call, sounds of conflict somewhere nearby.

"Where did you run off to, you were supposed to stay on the boat. At least tell me you found the Factory" Law grumbles, annoyed none of these Straw Hat listen to his orders.

"We've got bigger problems right now, you need to get out of there now!"

"Handing Caesar over is part of the plan, we need to do this" Law argues, only to get interrupted.

"Yeah… if Doflamingo ACTUALLY resigned. Right now you're handing that gasbag over for nothing in return" Sanji yells, causing Law to pause.

"What? That doesn't make any sense. Explain!" Law cries, his voice shaky.

"I'll dumb it down to the point even Luffy would understand. We walked into a FUCKING TRAP! Doflamingo's been playing us since yesterday, that much is clear" Sanji growls, his calves crackling with embers "CP0 are here, because they bailed him out of this, claimed it was a false report, a rumor that got out of hand and they'll be 'correcting the mistake' with a special report at 3pm. He's still King, he's still got Government Protection, He's Already Won!"

'Fuck! The bastard really did think of everything' Law thinks, though nothing showed on his face.

"You understand, you need to get out of there NOW!"

Unfortunately for Law, it was far too late, Doflamingo was already on his way, as well as a massive platoon of Marines helmed by Admiral Fujitora himself, flanked by Vice Admirals Doll and Nylock Lucina.

"I find this all very hard to believe, the public being fooled is entirely understandable, but Navy HQ was equally hoodwinked by this so-called false report? All our intelligence divisions and nothing seemed off until 4 hrs ago?" Fujitora asks, skepticism overflowing in his voice, but the Den Den Mushi could only convey so much on either side.

"That is correct, I'll be heading to Mariejois shortly to speak to the Gorosei about this situation, and figure out who dropped the ball on this one. Orders are clear, get to it. Head to Trafalgar Law and Doflamingo's "rendezvous point " the snail relays before shutting off once more.

"This is bullshit, just run the disgrace through and let's get this over with" Lucina sneers, and Doll actually found herself agreeing with her counterpart, this was wrong on several levels, and they were being played for fools.

"What do we do?" Law grimaces as he starts pacing

"Was that Sanji a moment ago?" Caesar yelps and Law turns sharply hearing Robin's voice behind them.

"Were you hiding in the sand listening in this entire time? Because that's just creepy" Caesar grumbles.

"No, this is a clone I created with my Devil fruit, but back to the main point…"

"If this isn't your real body, then where are you and the nose? Also, where are the V's?"

"Ussop and I are currently underground, meaning we're safe but unable to assist you. Victor and Val… I have no idea besides not with us, which at least means that unlike us they weren't captured by midgets" she sighs heavily "Which means they MIGHT be able to help you"

"Unfortunately neither of us have managed to give them a reason to do so I'm afraid" Caesar groans.

"Speak for yourself, they'll help because they know the mission depends on it" Law argues, getting an eye roll from Robin and Caesar.

"Regardless, the main thing is, it would probably be best to flee, and I was mostly having this talk to tell you not to worry about us and that we'll meet back up on the Sunny later on" Robin continues.

"Understood, see you…. Crap" Law hisses as the Marines finally arrive "Well, so much for that plan"

"Indeed. Recommendation for Plan B: Crush Caesar's heart and run!" Robin suggests, before dispersing into flower petals.

"I presume one of you goes by the name Trafalgar Law," Fujitora asks as he steps forward.

"You're the new Admiral, well one of them at least" Law states "Fujitora" he asks to confirm, just as a shadow passes over him, and Doflamingo drops down between both parties.

"Hey Law! I hate to admit it, but you managed to impress me kid, must have taken quite a lot of effort to get an actual Navy Admiral to show up" Doflamingo grins widely "And since I'm just a pirate again, I'm really shaking in my boots"

Colosseum

"And with that, all participants in Block C have gathered, we can begin with the toll of the bell" The announcer declares as his assistant prepares.

"You little bitch, how'd you get past me, it's inconceivable, I'll tear you to pieces as you deserve!" Cavendish cries as he runs through the corridor, focused entirely on the arena, only to get mobbed and tackled by the Colosseum guards, dragging him away as he was in Block D and therefore not allowed in this fight.

'That guy has issues' Saria sighs, finding the right place to watch the fight uninterrupted.

DING!

"Let's do this!" Laki cheers as things get interesting, smacking people with her shield to hide her Devil fruit powers for as long as she can.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the arena, one fighter was using a giant mallet to send people flying with the shockwaves. He turned his attention to the curvy girl shield bashing everyone unlucky enough to get close to her and decided to make that gathering mob his next target.

SLAM!

The problem was, that while he sent many fighters over the edge of the arena, he didn't hit Laki.

"Where'd you get that big hammer?" she asks, standing on his back.

"Hey, get off me!" he growls, swinging and missing as the rubber girl simply leaps off him, before planting a "Gum Gum Pistol" into his face… then realizing she screwed up about 5 seconds later.

"Ah, crap baskets," she mutters.

"That chick's arm just stretched like rubber!"

"I only know one person who could do that. Think that means she killed Straw Hat?"

"Whatever you are, have a taste of my axe!" one of the fighters cried as he ran at her with a battleaxe.

"Um, ok" Laki sweat drops, preparing for the attack "Totally Normal Punch!" she responds, forgetting that she probably inherited her monster strength from Garp… and so one shot the guy with a swift punch to the gut. Her next fighter was a spear user, meaning Observation haki was a godsend when it came to dodging the quick jabs, even if it had been clear from the 1st swipe that he was aiming for her eyes.

"Gum…. wait" Laki pauses, mentally at least, she still dodgerolls out of the way of a downward swing from said spear user "Perfectly Normal Kick!" she yells, kicking the guy in the face and sending him crashing into the outer wall "I wonder if there's any point in hiding it at this point" she groans, pinching the bridge of her nose.

"This girl doesn't look like much of a fighter, but she hits like a sea king"

"Guess we better take her out quickly if any of us want a chance at the Nagi Nagi no mi"

"Ganging up on me already huh?" Laki huffs, cracking her knuckles as she gets jumped, only to kick and punch everyone who comes at her with frightening efficiency. She didn't even need to hit them, just dodge as there was at least one more guy with a comically oversized hammer in her fighting block, and he blew away at least 8 guys in an attack which she ducked under, before uppercutting him in the jaw.

Meanwhile, on Greenbit

"The fuck is wrong with you Doflamingo!? You leveraged the World Government, deceived the entire world, and had them bend over backwards, just to get an advantage over our group which you yourself admit is minor at best?" Law shouts, demanding some sort of explanation.

"Oh Law, you'd think after all this time you'd know how much of a sucker I am for showmanship, especially the magic of how such a simple action can have such wide-reaching consequences. Everyone says 'that's ridiculous' but it's the rigidity of the mind that believes nobody would ever go to such lengths for an advantage. Of course I'm sure some won't be so easily fooled, the mages of the New World are particularly esoteric, particularly the Plegians, but without the right context and information even they would believe government incompetence over my direct actions Fufufufu!" Doflamingo gloats and cackles, his grin widening to unseen levels.

"It just doesn't make any sense, even thinking of this doesn't mean you could pull it off. You're just a pirate, it doesn't matter if you're a Shichibukai, or a King, nobody has that level of influence in the Government" Law retorts.

"Oh someone does," Doflamingo smirks.

"The Celestial Dragons" Lucina scowls, the sigil blazing in her eye "But your family stepped down, to walk among the common folk, all those favors should be out of reach. What do you know?"

Doflamingo chuckles as he turns to his (in his eyes) sister in burden "The details are too complicated to explain right now, but let's just say I know things, things that afford me favors and perks normally reserved for our so-called 'enlightened kin' and leave it at that for now, ay Exhalt?" he then turns to Law "As for why I went to all this trouble to fuck with you and your alliance? There's no big secret, I just REALLY wanted to kill you"

There was a moment of silence as everyone processed the level of petty Doflamingo showed going this far just he could kill 1 person himself, but that silence was always going to be broken by Caesar.

"JOKER! Save me now!" the gasbag whines before getting sharply pulled back by Law.

"Not a chance in Hell am I giving him over to you. We had an agreement, you can't just do what you want and back out because you feel like it" Law growls irritably "The deals off"

"Dumbass, just because you're royally screwed doesn't mean I'm going down with you. Let me go so I can get back to work and away from all these marines" Caesar whines and yells, but the man with his heart doesn't care.

"10 years apart and this is how you talk to me? Treat your old boss with the respect he deserves" Doflamingo cackles "Caesar is very valuable to me, I need you to return him to me" he states, the gasman having little stars in his eyes at the praise coming from his master.

"So it seems Law was here to trade over Caesar Clown, another reason to gut all 3 of them" Lucina snarls, but Fujitora waves her off.

"Doesn't work that way, a Warlord's crew are all under the same protection as the Captain" Doll retorts irritably.

"Unfortunately she's correct, as long as he's under the command of a Shichibukai he has amnesty, even someone guilty of a crime as heinous as the Gas Attack on Punk Hazard is safe from the Marines as long as he's technically working for us" the Admiral states, even if he's not happy about it those are the rules "So we'll hold back, for the moment. See how this exchange pans out"

Doflamingo's attention returns to the Marines "Oh where are my manners, you're the Admiral recruited in the World Draft Sakazuki implemented last year aren't you? Aramaki right?"

"Fujitora" the blind man corrects.

"Eh, I had a 50/50 chance" Doflamingo shrugs dismissively.

"Now, as you stated I'm new to this Marine business and so don't want to overstep my bounds, but it appears to me at least, that you've crossed the line on a few issues and taken liberties outside the guidelines the Shikibukai System allows you to perform. Would I be right in that assessment?" Fujitora asks lifting his cane/sword out of the sand "For example, the man over there referred to you as Joker, a very troublesome situation if that means you are the Underworld broker of the same name"

'SHIT!' Caesar thinks, realizing he may have just fucked up his Boss's plans.

"Really, well if you're going to dig into my past then you'd better be ready to get your hands dirty, it'll take a mountain of evidence to topple me" Doflamingo boasts, his grin as wide as ever "Speaking of naughty Warlords, what's the Navy going to do about Law? I highly doubt he was given the greenlight to ally with the Straw Hat pirates for whatever plan he's cooking up"

"That is a very good question. If he has allied with the Straw Hats then he is guilty of violating his agreement with the navy and will be arrested alongside Straw Hat and the rest of his crew. So tell me Law, is Straw Hat an ally, or a subordinate?" Fujitora asks, hands tightening their grip on his sword.

"What kind of bullshit is that? All he has to do is lie and you let him go?" Caesar cries.

'My plans fell apart the moment I set foot on this island, Doflamingo's flipped the script and now I'm the one in the Marine's crosshairs. I can't let the team in Dressrosa be affected by this, I'll need to make a stand on my own. Lying won't help me here' Law thinks with a grimace, taking a deep breath before declaring "The Straw Hat's aren't my subordinates, we're equal partners in our alliance!"

"Just can't take the easy way out, can you Law?" Doflamingo cackles, several marines are also surprised Law didn't even try to lie to them about the alliance.

"In that case, your Warlord status will be revoked, though that most likely won't be the only headline in tomorrow's paper" Fuitora states as he draws his sword, giving it a rapid swing that forms an indigo ring above his head, the ring shooting an energy beam straight up into the sky, confusing the pirates (though Doflamingo continued grinning) and prompting at least the Vice Admirals to take a few steps back pre-emptively.

"WHAT THE FUCK!" Caesar screams as he sees what was coming their way.

"A Meteor!" Law gasps.

"That seems a little overkill for one guy don't you think?" Doflamingo asks, his voice oddly subdued.

Most of the marines on the other hand chose to flee for the forest of Greenbit, Caesar even following them due to the panic.

"He doesn't do half measures it seems" Doll grimaces, haki already flowing through her body "But hey, this might kill both of them just like you wanted" she teases.

"Unlikely" Lucina scowls, preparing to use her new abilities to tank the impact.

SHING!

Only for them to gasp as the flaming rock splits in 2, Law's eyes widened as he hadn't even activated Room yet, while Doflamingo and Isho were more preoccupied with dealing with the halves that were about to hit them, the former using his strings to slice and dice the rock like it was nothing, while the latter formed more purple rings which halted and then shoot the hemisphere into the sea.

"Aw, just the one meteor? Too easy" Law freezes as a familiar pirate drops down in front of him, her partner appearing behind him in a burst of speed. Valentina grins widely as she draws several kunai, sliding her fingers into the rings on the ends "What next, or is this admiral just a paper tiger?" she taunts.

"What the Hell were you playing at, show some restraint, are you insane?" Dolfamingo bellows.

"Even a blind man can't miss with an attack that powerful, fitting it's in your hands" Law muses.

"No problem, just a small test. Now Law, as a criminal I'll be arresting you now, same with your companions there and Straw Hat once I return to Dressrosa" Fujitora states calmly as he puts away his sword.

"Better not be thinking of running are you, because you won't get far in MY kingdom" Doflamingo taunts, though he actually chuckles hearing Val's 'We will if we cut through everyone from here to the Sunny'.

Back in Dressrosa

"Flower field, you planning to stop for a picnic or something?" Sanji asks through the Mirror.

"You're one to talk, where did you run off to?" Franky retorts.

"He was getting distracted by Princess Viola" Vivi interrupts, as well as lightly slapping the back of the blond's head "Should we meet you there?"

"As good an option as any. By the way, did you tell him we found a way to locate the factory?" Franky asks curiously.

"Not yet, was a little busy getting HIS information and relaying it to Law and the others" Vivi admits "It's a rescue mission that ends in demolition, the toy solider who's acting as our guide says we need to save the workers, mostly because they're NOT Donquixote Pirates" she summarises, getting an out of view nod from the one-legged toy.

"We'll be lucky to make it out alive at this rate, never mind everything else" Sanji groans.

"Yeah, we heard about Doflamingo's little trick with papers and CP0, cheeky little shit ain't he?" Alvida grumbles.

"It'll be fine, just cause Law's fancy plan fell off the rails doesn't mean we can't keep doing our own thing, Luffy pretty much said as much. Besides, I got something new brewing, and might even salvage the entire operation. Just get to the Flower Field pronto" Franky grins, slurping a cola he swiped while passing a store.

"We'll be there….. Oh for fuck sake" Sanji groans "Tell me he didn't" he says as he looks at the screen currently broadcasting the Collosium fight.

"Get a hormone fruit sex change to hide his identity, yes to both Luffy and Kaos" Vivi nods as the commentator shouts about how 'Laki' was tearing through the competition like some kind of War Goddess, both Straw Hats having to wipe away drool as their VERY bouncy and voluptuous captain kicks ass on the big screen, to the amusement of Viola at the very least.

"Once you two are in your right minds, I believe this is where we deviate," she says sadly "If you want to get to the factory covertly, it would be better to do so without me as I am the one these men are after. Here is a map, the factory is disguised as a toyhouse, but it's your target"

"What, you can't just leave, you've helped us this much there's no going back to them" Sanji frets while Vivi reads the map Viola gave them "Listen, head to western shore, that's the rendevu point for our crew when all this is over. I promise you I will free you from Doflamingo's oppression, on my life and heart"

"You really are a hopeless romantic aren't you Sanji" Viola chuckles, kissing his cheek before running off.

"And we've lost him, but we have found another tag along" Vivi sighs as Kinemon runs over to them, begging for assistance.

"Yeah yeah I'm on it" Sanji grumbles, one shotting all of them, before Vivi could do more than catch one "These are fodder thugs, why didn't you do anything?"

"They have my friend Kanjuro hostage, I was rendered helpless" Kinemon argues.

"More like brainless" the blond sighs "But regardless you're here so you can help us break into the toy house"

"Excellent, those thugs did say how that was where my companion was being held, I will follow your lead in this endeavor" Kinemon declares with a grin.

Colosseum

"We may not know where she came from, but our Maiden of Might Laki is definitely making a scene in this round, she's taking out foes left, right, and centre, and she looks to barely be breaking a sweat!"

"Come on, is there anyone actually worth fighting over here!" Laki shouts, then catches a commosion out the corner of her eye "Oh, that looks interesting" she grins as the dust settles "The Bull! He's that strong? Hm, let's see if this will work" she muses cracking her knuckles as the bull turns to face her.

"Oh dear, it looks like Laki's run may have reached its end as Brutal Bull has set his sights on her, this might be the moment we see her impaled on his horns. Just the other day he faced off against a dozen death-row prisoners in this very arena, and slaughtered them all! There's a reason Brutal Bull is known as the Colosseum's Grim Reaper, a Whirlwind of Death! He's charging straight for Laki, but she's not moving an inch, has she given up or does she think she can somehow tank the hit from several tonnes of muscle and rage? He's gonna tear her apart as he charges right through her"

And that he did, sort of, even the bull was confused as he stopped it's charge, not feeling anything as he passed through where Laki had been just seconds before.

"Hey, wanna try that again?" Laki taunts, her body steaming and grin wide on her face "I don't mind"

"Incredible, Laki managed to dodge, in fact it seems her speed is incomprehensible, no matter how many times or ways Bull tries to skewer her, she manages to avoid even a scratch. Just how powerful is this woman?"

"You know, I think we're done here" Laki mutters to herself, deciding as the Bull makes one more head-on charge, to finish it with a burst of Conqueror's haki, stopping the Beast dead in his tracks, skidding to a halt at her feet "I have an idea, let's team up" she grins as she bounces onto the Bull's back "Nobody can stop us now, this fight just got even more fun" she cackles, Brutal Bull snorts in agreement, before proceeding to run through anyone in the vicinity while Laki bounces along riding bareback giggling the entire time "YAHOO!"

"I never thought I'd see the day, but it seems she's tamed the Grim Reaper! Let's give it up for our favorite for Block C, Laki!"

"LAKI!"

"LAKI!"

"LAKI!"

Greenbit - Tontatta's underground village

"That doesn't sound good" Robin grimaces, even down here feeling the shockwaves of Fujitora's meteor impact, while all around her the Tontattas's and Ussop fretting and panicking that the sky was coming down.

"What the heck's going on up there?" Leo wonders aloud.

"If that attack was any stronger the roof would cave in and kill us all" Ussop frets, then freezes seeing the scared looks on the tontatta's faces and winks to Robin "Or it would, if it wasn't merely the aftershocks of my Haki"

"Haki? Oh, that's what you used to knock out 50,000 bad guys on Fishman Island" One of the villagers gasped, many gaining sparkles in their eyes at 'The Hero's awesomeness, Robin holding in both an eye roll and a giggle at Ussop 'borrowing' Luffy and Kaos' achievements as his own, not that the little ones would ever need to know he was lying as usual.

"Hero, we present to you a prime roast of Fighting Fish, they're like goldfish only angrier" Leo announces as a large leaf with steaming chunks of meat resting upon it was presented to them.

"So they were the ones who caught that fish when we got here" Ussop muses, voicing Robin's thoughts as he takes a chunk "Damn this is good, tastes like SeaKing meat, which I dine on weekly don't yah know, only a little gamier, like Brachiosaur"

"Oh, I don't remember getting to try Brachiosaur, did I miss out on an adventure?" Robin asks, partially teasing but mostly curious.

"Little Garden, the island we recruited the V's and Artemis, it was an island of Dinosaurs" Ussop explains making the little one's worship of him grow to new heights.

"That must be how you big people can keep yourself fed, as a fish that big would feed our village for a month, but would probably only do you for a day" Leo notes as Ussop lets him climb onto his hand.

"Luffy-lan of the Usso-land fighting force would call one of those fish a snack" the sniper chuckles, for once probably being entirely accurate.

"What's Usso-land" Robin whispers.

"Look at that statue over there, look familiar?" Ussop points with his nose, directing Robin's attention, to a bust of Noland, with the word HERO carved into the the base.

"Leo, is that statue there, of Noland?" she asked to be sure.

"Yep, you must know of him too. He was the Big Person botanist who came to our lands 400 years ago, our hero!" Leo proudly explains, the straw hats amused that of course Noland would have made fast friends with the equally botanically gifted Tontatta "Back then, there were a bunch of bad guys attacking our home, but Noland rushed in and saved the day! We will always remember his greatness no matter how much times passes, he will be our hero for all time, a debt that will never be forgotten"

"When he knew the Hero's name and claimed to be one of his descendants we knew it was a sign his will has returned to save us once again. We tied you up and hurt you, for that we are gravely sorry" the pokedotted one cries.

"You are entirely shameless you know that?" Robin stage whispers.

"I thought that was Nami's thing, and don't complain too much it saved your ass too" Ussop argues

"Providence smiles upon it, a Hero when he needed him most" the chief agrees.

"It's a sign from the Gods! A hero just as we planned to go to war with Doflamingo!" Leo cheers.

"What now?" Ussop gapes.

"Hm, we have a tiny army now…. Neat" Robin giggles.

"Once you're fed we will take the hidden tunnels to the Flower Field and prepare to begin our assault" Leo explains, the rest of the tontattas preparing for battle "Lead us oh great Hero, for together we'll destroy the Donquixote Family, and win back our FREEDOM!"

TBC

LW: Well, that happened O_O

And Fuitora showed he can just casually summon meteors, yeah that's an Admiral class ability for sure.
