OP100: The Kuja Royal Fleet vs. Don Quixote Pirates II
🕑 Added 2023-09-19 23:56:18 +0000 UTC*BOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!*
It had been one day since the conflict started and things weren't getting any lighter. All of the Kuja Pirates were engaged in one way or another. Marigold and Sandersonia were fighting the executives of the Don Quixote Family while Hancock faced the captain, Doflamingo.
A gigantic statue of stone rose from the city and walked all the way to the port. Sandersonia gasped at the sheer size of that titan, it was a person capable of controlling stone!
"Hya!".
This titan punched forth towards her but the voice, something was not right with the voice, it sounded like a very small kid inside that colossal monster.
"..."
Sandersonia resisted the urge to laugh and tanked the fist incoming from the gigantic golem, she used a fist of her own, using the titanic strength that only a python could muster.
<Python's Clutch!>
*BOOOOOMMMMM!!!*
Pika had size but no substance, his fist got shattered in front of Sandersonia's advanced Haki.
"Hurry up, Aphelandra!" Sandersonia yelled in the communicator, Aphelandra's unit was already in place and they were trying to take control of the vessel but there were many members of the Don Quixote Family in the port as well and they weren't weak at all.
Once they secured the treasure, they'd be sorted.
...
On another side of the island, close to the main palace Marigold saw how everyone was running for their lives and what was worse, they were being chased by other people who were crying.
"Big sis, something really weird is going on here... these people are killing each other, I think they're being controlled" She spoke to the communicator but Hancock was busy.
"Please help me!!!!!".
Innocents were running and being stabbed or killed by city guards who were surprisingly also crying, there was a lot of agony everywhere and the situation resembled a dystopia if anything.
*BAANG!*
She punched one of those guards and he was knocked out cold, it was then that she saw the strings connected to their heads. Hancock finally spoke to her through the communicator.
"Focus on the mission Mari, we can't help them...!"
She was already having a hard time with Doflamingo who had resulted to be an even bigger powerhouse than she expected him to be. This Joker could face an Admiral if he worked hard for it!
"But..." Marigold gritted her teeth and nodded reluctantly, she continued onwards towards the port, the objective was to take as much as possible the attention of the Don Quixote Pirates away from the port.
The Kuja Pirates engaged the weaker members which resulted in a bunch of weirdoes. They all had odd powers, a woman who could take weapons out of anywhere, an old man who knew martial arts and kept screaming 'G'. A big baby that could swim and was rather stylish... she didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the diversity of this crew.
"I don't have time for you weirdos!".
She transformed into a gigantic lamia with several heads, another form of her Awakened Zoan.
<King Cobra!>
*WHOOOOOOSHHH!!*
She used her flames indiscriminately of who they may burn, at this point she needed to prioritise the lives of her crew members over the citizens of this kingdom.
"Memememe! What a disrespectful snake!"
A gust of flames burned everything in front of her but she didn't see one of the members create a flapping shield to deviate the flames
"Trebol, surround her!".
A fatty-like man with a liquid-like body flashed next to her, intending to send some of that liquid her way, it was Trebol, "Take this!".
Marigold smirked, the snakes of her awakened form fired breaths of fire against all her foes, carefully evading the Kuja Pirates. She grabbed the stunned Trebol by the neck and blasted him against the ground.
*BOOOOMMMMMM!!!*
A massive crater was created, and the impact was received by the man square on his neck, spitting blood everywhere.
"You're all too weak..."
She saw to the skies the person that was giving the most trouble was the stone gigant that Sandersonia was fighting. Hancock had turned a considerable portion of the city into stone with her first attack against Doflamingo, this had benefited him.
"Please, you have to help us!".
As she intended to continue her offensive; someone rushed out of the palace, it was an injured woman with a busty silhouette... she was crying and begging. From inside the palace, she had seen the chaos unfolding and noticed that this new group of pirates or whatever they were, was fighting against the insurgents assailing her kingdom.
She was utterly scared of this beautiful woman who resembled a fiery snake with a horn, but she was the only one who could do anything.
"I can't help you... sorry, we came here with a purpose. If you want to live then conceal yourself properly!" Marigold noticed her Kuja tribeswomen were struggling against the rest of the family and even the controlled guards were now engaging against them instead of attacking the citizens like they had done previously.
The more this mission prorogued, the more members of their crew would fall and that was not what they wished.
"But they're killing everyone! They're going to frame the royal family for it, please help us, we will repay this in the future!".
"Tch! What's your name?"
"I'm Viola! The second princess of the Riku dynasty! I promise you will be repaid for this service!" She even went as far as to kneel.
"Listen Viola I can't promise anything... just explain to me what's going on".
Viola explained that these pirates had appeared one day out of nowhere, that the maid of their palace had betrayed them and that now the royal family was being controlled to attack the citizens that they once respected, everything to frame them and take the throne.
"You heard, big sis".
"Understood, let's secure the treasure first, then we will see if we can do something for you, Viola, ugh!" Hancock was still having trouble on the other side.
"Thank you!" Viola ran back to the palace, she had already done the best she could, what was left was to pray that these Kuja Pirates would be able to defeat Doflamingo's family.
Now with a sudden change of plans, Marigold gave orders to everyone around them.
"Kuja Pirates, go for the kill, don't leave any of them alive!".
"Ha!".

*BOOOOOMMMM!!!*
*BOOOOOMMMM!!!*
The battle in the field of flowers was only intensifying with Hancock smiling and cleaning a drip of blood from her mouth. She looked at a particular communicator in her wrist, it was the communicator that would connect her directly with her husband.
All she needed to do was say a word and he'd be there in a heartbeat, like a thunderbolt.
'Not yet, I can deal with this myself!'.
She breathed in deeply and watched doflamingo who was not in a better shape, if anything he was worse, she had managed to hit a few destructive kicks square against his chest, but he seemed to be able to regenerate himself with his powers.
"Stubborn bastard... you have a lot of imagination to use that devil fruit like that, I commend you for that!".
Hancock readied herself, it was a tricky situation. It was not that Doflamingo was stronger but using her devil fruit would give that other member of his crew, Pika, a greater advantage against Sandersonia which meant she couldn't freely just go crazy and turn everything into stone. So she had to fight using only her Haki.
'Nevertheless, I still have some degree of control' she thought while Doflamingo panted, losing and gaining control over his fruit.
"You can't keep controlling these people, keep the bird cage and fight me at the same time. Eventually, you will hit your limit~" She said confidently.
"That bastard that calls himself Lightning God makes one envious, to have such a woman" He cracked his neck, things weren't looking very well for him, especially on the other ends... he knew he could stall Hancock long enough but for what? It didn't look like his family was going to defeat her crew. Defeating her was a pipe dream, stalling her held no purpose. He was beginning to think about retreating with the tribute ship and discarding Dressrosa, that was until a communication reached him.
"Doffy, they're taking the ship!".
*SNORT!*
His Conqueror Haki went haywire, he had been wrecking his brain trying to think what the reason was for this attack and what the Kuja Pirates wanted out of them. He couldn't think of one thing as the national tribute was a secret that nobody except a certain Yonko and perhaps the CP0 knew about.
"So that's what you were after, huh!? HOW DID YOU EVEN KNOW!".
<OVERHEAT!>
It was a question Hancock didn't even bother to answer, she slapped the heated string which ended up slicing all the flowers in the field.
"Took you long enough!"
She stretched her hand and a pink whip extended trying to grasp Doflamingo. Her awakening allowed her to use many versatile ways with her power. Anything she touched with this pink energy would be turned into stone, no questions asked.
It ended up hitting the ground and turning it into stone, Doflamingo had avoided it, his observation Haki was polished.
"Tch!".
<Ever White!>
Doflamingo retreated, waving his arms and creating two walls of strings, the whole world seemed to be made out of strings.
Hancock stepped into the air chasing after him, kicking the strings and blasting them aside.
"That gigantic man can only control the stones if he's in contact with them, that means we being this far away shouldn't be an issue".
<Eternal Love!>
She created two balls of pink energy that resembled grenades and threw them towards him.
!!!
*BOOOOOOMMM!!!*
*BOOOOOOMMM!!!*
Everything that came into contact with the explosions turned into stones. She then used a pistol of hearts, firing pink bullets at doflamingo. One of them caught his leg.
Ugh!".
His leg, now turned into stone released a pink aura that Hancock pulled. She could extract that pink energy out of the things she turned into stone, it was a flag Doflamingo could never oversee because it was the first time she used it during the combat.
!!!
<Perfume of Death!>
Her heel covered in advanced armament and abundant in Conquer Haki thrashed his disgusting face, shattering his glasses.
*BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!*
The man was sent flying like a ragdoll, blasting through several rocks before coming to a stop on a pillow of his strings.
*COUGH!*
He staggered up after coughing a great volume of blood, feeling how his head was destroyed from the inside, leaving him dizzy. He saw three Hancocks walking towards him and realised that things weren't looking good at all.
'This woman is strong!'.
When he tried to stand up, he staggered and fell... only then did he realise that his heel was gone.
"Even if you kneel, there won't be forgiveness, Doflamingo".
"I have the backing of a Yonko...!" He presumed, only to slant a mockery laugh out of Hancock.
"And I have the backing of a God".

In the docks things were getting out of hand, a small group of Kuja Pirates had taken control of the tribute ship and it was sailing away from the port. Sandersonia had the gigantic golem constricted in her clutches the more she destroyed his parts the smaller he became.
"Let me go!".
"Your voice is quite funny you know... but you're... not getting out of this alive!~".
*CRACK!*
A gargantuan crack manifested in the golem from top to bottom.
"HAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
Similarly, a gust of flames burned everything near the palace as another foe appeared in front of Marigold, a woman with green hair who had a logia devil fruit, snow.
Things were getting heated as Doflamingo's numbers were falling drastically but similarly, there were fallen bodies of the Kuja beauties.
"Hebihime! The ship is out!".
"TAKE IT AWAY AND USE THE ELECTRO CANNON, NOW!" Hancock continued her fight with Doflamingo who despite missing a heel was equally ferocious.
Back in the port, a group of nineteen ships released their camouflage, and the girls loaded g-batteries into the barrels.
"Charge 'one' in place!".
"Charge 'two' in place!".
"Charge 'three' in place!"
...
"Fire three rounds! Lady Sandersonia, out of the way!".
Having received her signal through the communicator, Sandersonia released the injured titan, going back to her humanoid form still awakened.
*BOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!*
A blast of electric energy fired from one of the ships, targeting Pika's head. It was a square hit that decimated the giant's head into nothingness.
*BOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!*
*BOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!*
Two more hits devastated the rest of the body, the fate of the man was unknown. The whole Don Quixote Family was left stupefied, 'What the f*ck was that!?'.
"Quickly, three more charges!".
"Ha!".
"Charge 'one' in place!".
"Charge 'two' in place!".
"Charge 'three' in place!"
...
"Fire to the port!".
*BOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!*
*BOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!*
*BOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!*
Three more beams of destruction shattered the Don Quixote Pirate ships as the members of the Kuja pirates on the port jumped into the water, swimming towards their evacuation vessels.
The celestial dragon ship was getting escorted by ten vessels away from the territory of Dressrossa.
"We control the tribute vessel! I repeat, we control the tribute vessel!".
Aphelandra took control of it, following orders.
"Straight to the red line! We're heading to Fishman Island".
She didn't look back even once.
Two ships approached the celestial dragon Vessel and covered it with a massive bubble, similarly, bubbles manifested in the other ten ships that triggered camouflage. Before anyone could even utter a complaint, all ships were out of sight, underwater.
The national tribute was gone, stolen by the Kuja Pirates. An event that would create a chain reaction and unfold one of the most ferocious wars in history.
**
**
One by one, Doflamingo's executives fell, they looked flabbergasted at the ridiculous power behind the Kuja Fleet ships, there were more of them standing by and ready to shoot, but they didn't have clearance.
"HAAAA!!".
One of the executives, Diamante, groaned in utter pain when Marigold stepped on top of his body, one of her snakes wrapping around his torso and pressing... pressing and pressing as if she was pressing a fruit.
*CRUNCH!*
"Big sis, the ship is out".
"Kill everyone from the Don Quixote Pirates, Mari!".
"I understand".
"If you kill us, the Yonko Kaido won't forgive you!" Diamante panted with blood dripping from his mouth, he could see his end coming closer, unable to free himself from this cobra.
"What are you, eastern young masters? Ridiculous... you call your Yonko, I'll call my husband".
She opened her mouth and a breath of fire engulfed Diamante's body, the man screamed in utter despair and the rest of the executives saw how he was melted to tatters.
Sandersonia arrived in her gigantic form together with one of the teams. Trebol stuck a massive chunk of a burned building and tried to swing it towards her, but Sandersonia merely punched the building and obliterated it.
Her tail did a clean swoop, destroying a massive chunk of the streets and blasting some of the Pirates away, to their dismay... towards the Bird Cage.
It was a gruesome sight for the rest of the family to see their leaders fall one by one in the most cruel of ways.
The last of them, Pika who was severely injured after receiving a backlash, appeared and looked in disbelief at the corpses of two of his best friends and comrades. Trebol and Diamante, together with another unconscious group.
The Citizens of Dressrosa regained themselves and the birdcage started to disappear. Viola's eyes teared. The fight took two days, but Dressrosa was free.
**

"Yonko Kaido, huh?".
"Ugh! B*tch!".
Hancock panted, her body bruised, this man hadn't been easy to defeat at all. She was holding a struggling Doflamingo whose body was almost completely turned into stone.
"What deal do you have with Kaido?" It made Hancock curious, aside from Whitebeard she hadn't contacted any of the other Yonkos in her journey. She hadn't approached Wano or Whole Cake Island, she also hadn't seen the Red Head Pirates once.
She happened to see Whitebeard during her time on Fishman Island. Now this man mentioning Kaido of all people made her believe she could get some leverage for her husband by using Joker.
"As if I'd tell you sh*t!".
The man couldn't believe his empire which was infallible and was just about to be formed, fell like this in front of the might of this woman and her crew.
"You don't need to tell me now, I'll torture it out of you~".
A pink knife stabbed Doflamingo's heart and he turned completely into stone.
The Donquixote Pirates were over.
Or not?
Inside the main palace a green-haired little girl was looking at everything unfolding with a keen eye, she picked up a toy that just fell and smiled wickedly.
"Very naughty, Viola~".
