Zoro arrived on the bridge. Regardless of how tired she was, Viola was behind him, running. He ignored all her instructions to go to the Castle. They arrived on the iron bridge as fighting fish the size of a galleon crossed over and under the bridge. Before then was a scene of carnage with iron bars all destroyed and the bridge collapsing in the middle. Then, there it was. Trafalgar Law was there nearly on the ground with a cut across his arm that was quite painful. He took a look behind and spoke.
"Krgrrh, what are you doing here? And here I thought that Straw Hat-ya was coming. I never expected you, Pirate hunter-ya."
"I couldn't find the Castle. I was wandering trying to find it when I arrived here."
Zoro said as he drew his sword. Because in the distance, two shadows were walking on the iron bridge. Every time a fighting fish would try to strike those two shadows. They were mangled and cut into tiny cubes of meat.
Then there was that mumbling laugh from one of the shadows—the Warlord Flamingo, or whatever. Zoro did not care.
"Doffy…" Viola took her hair jewelry out, and from there, a small knife was drawn from the golden jewelry.
"Violet, how nice of you to be here~. I can feel the passion in your eyes~."
Doflamingo laughed again, that internal laugh that made Viola feel creeped out always. The nerves in the man's forehead were an indication of his anger. Even though he was fighting since this morning, he didn't seem the least bit winded.
"The Pirate Hunter. The one that killed Vice-Admiral Momonga. With a bounty of 520 million."
The second shadow arrived before them with a grave voice. Nevertheless, Zoro had to prepare. There was hidden anger in that shadow. A call to retribution and accountability from the shadow's dark purple aura swirling about—Fujitora, the Admiral, had arrived. Zoro had killed the Vice-Admiral a couple days ago, and the Navy wouldn't let that go, no matter what. The Vice-Admirals were all regarded within the Navy. They weren't as powerful as the Admirals were. However, they were respected for their years of service and their courage and bravery in the face of insurmountable odds. They commanded battleships and were the most considerable peacekeeping force. Admirals can be there all the time to save people. However, so many seasoned and veteran Warriors were made Vice-Admirals. They were scattered across the world, delivering peace and justice to the lands. Killing pirates and evil-doers all the same. To have one of these veterans be killed was already a significant loss for them. This was why Zoro's bounty shot up so much. The Navy wouldn't forgive Momonga's death.
The woman of regression had already killed two of the Vice-Admirals.
And the man in front of Fujitora had killed one. Retribution was coming whether the Pirate Hunter liked it or not.
"Hoh, it seems like I'm quite hated."
Zoro smirked as he took out his bandana and tied it to his head. Then he unsheathed all of his blades—something he rarely did nowadays. The three swords were only used as he faced powerful foes. Usually, one would have been enough for most opponents because…
"I've been waiting to face an Admiral. I want to see if my two years of training led to somewhere at least."
The glare in those eyes was of that of a caged wild beast looking for pure slaughter. Even the blind Admiral was keenly aware of the danger the opponent posed.
"So, you are another subordinate of the Straw Hat. I faced one earlier, Black Leg, she was powerful, but I'm afraid that she couldn't defeat me. I was looking forward to facing the Straw Hat, in single combat, not the subordinates."
The grave voice was calm and serene. However, Fujitora opened his blind eyes with a disappointed expression. Even with a quiet voice, the old man could deliver sarcasm like no other. Doflamingo by the Admiral's side laughed mirthlessly again.
"Not to worry. I am stronger than our shitty cook. That I can promise you. Well, I know that you blind and all, but if you lose your life here, then no hard feelings, okay?"
Zoro smirked so violently that the world turned black and white for a split second. Fujitora's earlier expression subsided into a serious one. Doflamingo also stopped laughing. Law got up, and his glint focused on Doflamingo.
"That Pink Flamingo is your opponent. I'll be taking the life of that other one."
Zoro said the plan. Law nodded as blood poured from his arm. Even Zoro understood that this was Law's battle, his revenge. No tricks or nothing, Just as Luffy had said, they would build a path so that Law could fight the Warlord unhindered. The Admiral's presence was throwing a wrench into that plan. It was time he was removed from the equation. Zoro took a step towards the Admiral, this time without fear and without even thinking that he would lose.
Because he wouldn't.
The time of the Navy or Whitebeard was over. The name of this age was the Straw Hat pirates. They would do whatever they'd like, and those who complain would be decapitated by the bladed edge of his swords.

Rebecca panted and moaned, her abdomen had a shallow cut, however it was long. This never happened before so it hurt considerably, actually being hit with Haki. She was trembling a bit, but she stood fast. And used her sword to point at the sky. Gatz had no other choice but to declare her the victor.
All around her were bodies, the only ones that survived were her friend and fellow gladiator, and that executioner guy. The rest, while still alive, was cut in a way they would die a few hours from now. Rebecca was a bit melancholic, but not sad. These were the same warriors that jeered and wanted to rape her, earlier. So, their deaths were pitiful, but not to the point where she would do anything to save them.
X❖X
Usopp had allied himself with the little people, the Tontattas. And when they crossed the tunnel back to Dressrosa, they arrived at a cabin far away. There, Luffy was. Almost as if waiting for them to arrive.
"Luffy! What are you doing here? We were fighting that Warlord and that Admiral for so long, and you never arrived."
Luffy just put his finger on his ear and yawned.
"While I agreed to this alliance later on. It was this crew that decided to go along with this plan. While I'm going to help from the sides. The main actor right now is Law."
Luffy knew that CP0 was here on this island. They were incredibly still. So, it was a game of who moved first. If Luffy moved to combat, then the little agency could move unimpeded. Luffy wanted them to move so he could locate and murderize them all. However, things were not going his way at all. However, he spoke the truth about not wanting to be involved in the fight against the Warlord. This was Law's battle, with the Straw hats as a group to destroy the Family. While fighting the Admiral was an exciting prospect, Luffy had patience. The guy wouldn't leave this island so soon. So Luffy would eventually clash against him if Zoro did not kill him first. In any case, there was no one to attack the palace or the factory right now. Half the crew had left for Zou. Luffy told both Usopp and Robin about this.
They were surprised to hear their forces were halved. Zoro, Franky, Usopp, and Robin were the only ones here. And Luffy was lazy. So Usopp did the math and found they were severely at a disadvantage. In reality, they were only able to dispatch one of the Family members.
"It seems Franky is fighting in the Colosseum, so he's not going to be here any time soon. Don't worry, I'll send him to attack this factory later on. Kikunojo is still searching for her comrade samurai. Although she's also murdering the enemy soldiers at an incredible rate."
"But Luffyland, sir." One of the little people, the Tontattas' warrior Leo, came forward.
"We want to save both our princess Mansherry and also save our brethren slaving away at the factory, sir. However, we have a plan sir."
"Hmm?"
"There is a woman named Sugar, sir. Her powers of turning people into a toy are dangerous. Those that are turned into toys are forgotten by everyone else."
"Oh? So that's what's happening, a Devil Fruit like that, huh? To make a Paramecia power like that disappear, then you need to make them suffer a pretty serious concussion. Just making her faint or sleep won't work, else that power would disappear every night."
Honestly, killing the user would be the most surefire way to cancel out the user's powers. Concussions are hard to accomplish because brain damage would most likely cripple that person for years to come. Either way, it was not pleasant. Moria would attest to that. The most peaceful way would be to convince the girl to stop… However, they were at war right now. The other side would never hear any arguments. It was going to be a murder-fest from now onwards. The time for words was lost back in Punk Hazard. There was nothing else to speak about.
"Exactly, sir. If we cancel out her powers, then all the toys will be returned to normal. All of Dressrosa will remember their husbands, fathers, and mothers being turned into toys. They will remember the tragedies. Legendary pirates and marines will be revived from that, so we expect a great deal of confusion and chaos directed at Doflamingo, sir. Sugar is in the Underground Port. So, we wanted to attack there, sir."
"Then we'll use this chaos to dispatch the other Family members, and you can use this window to rescue your fellows. Ok, Baby 5 and I will escort you to one of the entrances. After that, you guys defeat this Sugar."
Luffy pointed at the scared Usopp and Robin, who nodded with a smile. It was time to put these two into the frying pan to see how well they would develop. Luffy could barely wait. Seeing his teammates grow in power by fighting was also a joy in itself. Breaking people with his power was fun, but this was entertaining in its own way.
"After that, baby 5 and I will be paying a visit to the castle. Zoro went the other way, unfortunately, so he's fighting that Admiral guy. What's his name?"
"He said his name. He's Fujitora or something like that."
Robin smiled and closed her eyes, she knew who Fujitora was, apparently. Luffy had no idea who he was, not like he was great with names either.
"Fujitora, huh? So, the Navy is recruiting guys we don't know, but they're so strong. Do you think the guy hates me?" Luffy smiled with mirth.
"I'm fairly sure he does! He's mostly quiet, but he really wanted to kill us! We had countless meteorites dropped on us! That was so scary. We would be done if not for Sora!" Usopp ranted.
"I see. We'll be seeing more marines in the future. And they will be fresh out of mercy for us. So be prepared."
Luffy already knew this development would be coming for them. And it was a result he wanted. Killing marines by the droves would obviously make them mad, sending more and more top dogs towards them in search of retribution. This was fine because that meant that Luffy would be slaughtering those really in power. Killing all the Vice-Admirals, except two. Killing an Admiral or two on their journey would be the best result. Luffy wasn't seeking his revenge against the Government. However, he wouldn't mind killing the Navy men that approached him. He wasn't actively seeking conflict with them, but if a couple of Vice-Admirals or an Admiral ever stood in his way, then Luffy couldn't be responsible for what happened, right?
It wasn't like Luffy was seeking marine bases. They just conveniently fell in his lap.
Luffy was cunning like that. He was intentionally playing up the anger of the marines just so he could kill more marines without actively seeking them out.
And so, they walked both Robin and Usopp until the underground Port. There on forwards, the battle was their own. Luffy was excited to see how they'd develop. Usopp was quite afraid of battle. However, Robin was with him. He had the invincible Robin by his side, right? There was no way he could lose, right? Honestly, Luffy was taking this war very leisurely. But when Usopp complained, Luffy looked at him with a gentle smile and said, "I trust that my strong comrades can beat a Warlord, no problem. I trust you, Usopp."
When their invincible captain was saying this, even Robin almost blushed from the compliment. After saying all that, there was no way that Usopp could ever refuse when so much was riding on their shoulders.
X❖X
Robin fell to her knees as the bodies of Doflamingo's soldiers were all dead close to her knees. They were oozing blood with split clavicles and cracked vertebrae. All dead because of her, there were also some soldiers that breathed deadly toxins from Usopp's plants. Robin was in the Underground Port as she bent forward. Her body felt shattered beyond belief. It had been a while since she felt this desperate. Robin looked forward and saw a repugnant man approach, with a girl by his side.
Warriors made out of tin walked like marionette automata. They were non-humans. They were dolls instead. Soldier Toys made for battle, quite different from the Tontattas' description of the brave Toy Soldier Kyros. The predicament was that no matter how badly Robin ripped these 10-foot tin soldiers, they would always recover—an immortal army of toys able to destroy cement with their blows. And wielded halberds and spears the size of a lamppost.
However, the eerie man with snot streaming down his nose was the bigger problem—a clear sticky liquid formed in his hand, forming a chain, then hardening into solid. Then launched the hardened chain. Robin used her flower hands to push debris to protect her body, but then, the cement and stone weren't able to prevent the explosion from reaching her body. Robin was blown back, and her head bashed to the ground, making a bloody spatter. Robin moaned in pain as her thighs and stomach bled. Robin raised herself as Usopp fired more and more weapons across the pond. However, he was checked by the immortal tin soldiers. These toys replaced the living mercenaries that were now all dead. Explosions across the Underground were heard by Robin as Usopp's large projectiles, and plants destroyed countless ships and containers.
The foul and disgusting man named Trebol had thoroughly defeated Robin to her shame and was now hunting down Usopp. Usopp was also bleeding to death, and yet he still fought. Then, for some reason, some of these toys were using advanced martial arts or swordsmanship. Others were even using Devil Fruit powers.
"Don't tell me…" Robin said as she regurgitated blood on the floor.
A child approached her.
"They were once people, with their individual peculiarities. Transformed into enduring soldiers that only listen to me. All those warriors and gladiators that lost today were transformed into these battle dolls, in preparation for the war."
It was a child named Sugar, with bluish-green hair. Her eyes were full of hatred as explosions and death happened all around this Underground Port.
"My sister died in Punk Hazard. Perhaps you know of her. She was called Monet, did ever learn of her name before killing her?"
The child arrived before Robin's feet with a ghastly glare. Three immortal soldiers accompanied her, and on their hands were the dead bodies of three or four Tontattas. 500 of them were raiding this Underground Port, and all of them were defeated and injured. 20 of them inevitably succumbed to their injuries against Trebol, and Sugar was either killing them with her immortal toy soldiers or transforming them into more toy soldiers to bolster her forces. It did not matter that Robin and Usopp had previously killed all those mercenaries in the palace because as long as Sugar was still here, they could use anyone to bolster their forces. Children and women included. Because Sugar was here, Robin should consider all of Dressrosa's citizens as Sugar's little toys if she so desired to transform them all into her toy soldiers.
And they would be desperate enough to do that. They were full-on desperate to win this war. There were no holds barred. Trebol back there was truly intending on finishing Usopp's life for good.
"Don't worry. I won't kill you. I'll make you a toy to serve and slave away for me for all eternity. Don't worry, it doesn't hurt... MUCH!"
Sugar basically screamed in her ear as she used her nails to rip Robin's skin off her forearm.
Robin used her own power as petals surged, and limbs sprouted off from Sugar's body. However, …
"It doesn't work. It's the worst compatibility."
Sugar's grin went from ear to ear as madness took over her eyes. Sugar had touched one of the sprouted limbs. And Sugar's powers were activated. Turning Robin into another immortal toy soldier, as petals flew from the toy. Sugar knew her new little soldier had the power of the fruit of flowers.
Just you wait, sister. Soon I'll turn all the Straw Hats into toys, then I'll be able to avenge you.
It could not be understated how furious and wrathful the Donquixote Family was with the Straw Hats. And nobody was as enraged as Sugar was. She would use and slave away all these toys, as they were forgotten by everyone else but Sugar. Now it was time to turn the long-nosed one.
The new creepy doll, the doll of the Demon Child, followed her. Forgotten by all but Sugar.
The new doll with the power of flowers was now hers.
Sugar widened her own eyes and laughed as the destruction rocked her body. As many soldiers protected her body out of their own volition. Their immortality made them recover faster than the explosions could rock her body out of place.
However, even within this battlefield of poisonous gases, plants that skewered her toys, and explosions destroying the ships, concrete, and containers. With molten slag that had melted off the ground. Even then, Sugar felt invincible.
"Just you wait… sister…"
That last line felt somewhat sad. And no human saw her tears. Her dolls and toys were not human… after all.
Shrapnel had reached and cut his brows. Making so that his blood ran down his face and made both his eyes be closed. Usopp couldn't see with both eyes anymore. However, he could feel it.
There were several bubbles of pearly transparent liquid. Each holding 20 liters. They were spat upon by the huge creepy man named Trebol. They rained down like trebuchet shots. Usopp visualized it, even though he was temporarily blind.
And they fell precisely where he predicted with his mind. His abdomen had a sizable black bruise that was bleeding like crazy. There were three dislocated fingers that he had to manually set themselves. Usopp needed to vent to somebody. He wanted to vent to Luffy.
I mean, I'm like one of the three weakest members. How dare he send me alone to fight a Logia User and a crazy psycho little girl!
It was sad that he'd all but forgotten Robin.
And yet, there was a feeling, a nagging feeling that something was wrong. Something was missing. Usopp felt somewhat strange, a strange psychosis. A rage as if something had been taken from him.
Usopp couldn't run away while he was feeling this strange, strange rage. Almost as if he didn't care if he died now, a fever that took out every single danger signal. All he was feeling was this momentary psychotic nature that wanted to destroy his enemies no matter what happened to him.
At the first sign that he might have died, he would just run away. Sora and Law protected him earlier by running away from the Warlord and the Admiral guy, but now he was alone. He had learned the hard way to spot the dangers back in his training in that savage archipelago. Most of his time was spent running and avoiding the attacks from those carnivorous plants.
The 20-liter bubbles of sticky liquid would ignite and fall on the ground like a meteor fall of flames. Usopp was already tired of meteorites. He faced so many with the damn Admiral that he didn't understand why he wasn't just a splattered bug on the ground. These flammable liquid bubbles were like bombs once landed, igniting the floor and causing molten slag to form once it landed. Which meant the large underground port was slowly losing the ground where Usopp could escape to.
Usopp didn't know how he avoided such attacks, but even those annoying chains that missile across the giant halls. Those were like heat-seeking attacks that had destroyed the little Tontattas. Even twenty of them died during all that. As much as Usopp felt for them, for being involved and all. Why do these innocent little tribesmen and women have to be so particular in being involved in a coup?
They did not care if they died a warrior's death as long as Doflamingo was dead by the end of the day. They were hugely indebted to a man named Kyros, a toy soldier who everybody forgot. Usopp frankly thought that this toy soldier was just a swindler. A liar that was similar to him. A gladiator that has won 3000 matches?
Insanity, and yet, even though this Toy Soldier named Kyros had already died way before today. The little people were willing to sacrifice themselves for this day. Thinking the Straw Hats were their light of salvation after years in the darkness. Because of their actions in Punk Hazard, others started moving forward with their convictions. Finally, been given a chance to actually do something.
These little Tontattas were as honorable as the Giants. It was Usopp who actually felt really small compared to them.
Usopp cornered the sticky man named Trebol again and then ignited him with flames. The Logia was quickly ignitable, but it was only a temporary reprieve. Soon the man would reform with his brand of invincibility.
Logia users were so unfair. Why was he fighting one?
Usopp remembered that earlier, Leo. One of the leaders of the Tontattas raged as a tribal warrior. Desperate at the deaths of his comrades, he attacked the Logia man. Piercing the man's ears and almost destroying the man's legs before being beaten. Trebol said the little Tontattas had something called Haki. If Usopp remembered correctly, it was something that both Sora and Zoro boasted about having.
How nice it would be to have some of that Haki, or whatever, right now.
Usopp planted countless tiny bubble plants that he could bounce off and jump across the port. He was getting near the position of that little girl.
He didn't know why, but he wouldn't be satisfied unless he could destroy that creepy smirk from that girl's face. Until then, he would be fighting.
Chains of sticky hardened liquid and those trebuchet bubble shots were thrown again as the Logia man, Trebol, swan in his own sticky liquid, surging towards his position in haste.
The hundred impaling plants did nothing to stop the man. The toxic substances did nothing. The carnivorous plants and whips only made the man change form and go faster. Usopp avoided all the long-ranged attacks. A bunch of immortal toy soldiers surrounded him with spears and swords. Usopp was blinded by his own blood, and yet, somehow, he was able to avoid the weapons.
"Behe, it's over, oh, how I've been waiting to kill one of you Straw Hats."
The vile man arrived as Usopp fell because of his earlier wounds. He was on his knees as the hand of death approached. Full of a sticky transparent liquid, it would cover his face in slime and then explode, making his head fall off. Usopp laughed at the end.
"You know, you Logia guys get so overconfident. I wanted to show you that even simple guys like me can defeat someone like you. Hehehe, and you fell right into it."
As Trebol approached, a plant had sucked the dirty seawater in the destroyed Underground Port and then sprayed into Trebol in the middle of his attack.
"Seawater still makes you guys weak, right?"
Trebol made a whining sound, but there was no time window to adequately react to what was happening next. The blinded, long-nosed man pointed his left arm towards Trebol, and something was there, a round object. It looked like a shell.
This was for the Tontattas you killed today, you prick.
"It's over! Reject!"
The reject dial was a rarer form of the impact dial. Usopp was finally able to reproduce it. It would be injected into one of his plants so he could not suffer the aftereffects. However, he had no choice, no time, or room to use that in that way.
And the aftereffects hit hard. Usopp's whole left arm was shredded, his wrist was dislocated, and his fingernails were blown back, and his fingers were bent in three different ways. His arms had circular patterns of rips and tears, making blood blast out from his blood vessels. Usopp screamed. He literally screamed in pain as he was blown back. However, he still had planned this. His body was blown back into the direction of the little girl. He still had to deal with her. The courageous warrior of the sea still had his mission to accomplish.
Trebol's body became liquid and was blown back, as well as the immortal soldiers nearby. Trebol's body was blown until the opposite wall, as the wall cracked, the liquid went inside of the cracks, being blown far and far away. Usopp, even despite the pain, still had a clear mind. He was still screaming as he fell to the ground and cracked his left shoulder. And yet, he used his ruined left arm to raise himself and run full force towards the creepy little girl.
"Oh, Trebol, that was disappointing. Go, my soldiers."
She had ordered, and yet, there was one more trick up his sleeve. As he scattered the green seeds around and they skewered the soldiers.
However, there were ones that used Devil Fruits, one that had a massive elbow, and one that could turn their arm black for some reason. It was an army of unreasonable immortal soldiers.
Usopp had no idea that he was fighting the losers of the corrida colosseum fights. They were turned into soldiers with the hopes of destroying the Straw Hats.
However, as Usopp mentioned, he had another ace upon his sleeve. On his right palm was one more dial.
One went to elbow Usopp. However, he absorbed the impact and returned it. One went with explosive fists. However, Usopp absorbed the impacts and redirected them. Redirected it, redirected it. One had a pointy head that turned back. He redirected it.
Redirected it. Redirected it. Redirected it. Redirected it. Redirected it. Redirected it. Redirected it. Redirected it.
"Impact!" "Impact!" "Impact!" "Impact!" "Impact!" "Impact!" "Impact!" "Impact!" "Impact!" "Impact!" "Impact!"
The impact dial was way weaker than reject. However, it was still able to blow the tin bodies away. They were immortal, but their defense was more fragile than an average human's. They imitated the powers of the real people behind them. However, they were still tin can muscles that bent as quickly as paper. If he was facing the real people instead of this, then he would have been dead 10,000 times over.
Still, these toys were immortal. Still, they killed and defeated the Tontattas. These soldiers were still overwhelming. And the child behind them was laughing with her creepy mouth as she chewed those grapes of hers.
Honestly, just three impacts would have killed him. And yet, his right arm felt incredibly sturdy. And from the bloody smears of his vision, he could see his right arm. In contrast with his left, it was still moving, blocking the attacks he could sense and reflecting them back. His right arm was charred black for some reason. Was it so bruised that it became pure black? How was Usopp still moving this ruined right arm when his left was so blown apart that it would take months to heal?
It felt like his body moved on automatically. And he drove the girl into a corner. His slingshot fell into the ground already. And he approached her. He fell to the floor again as blood poured from his head, chest, and legs. The impact dial fell from his hands and was retrieved by an immortal toy warrior.
Honestly, he was already done half an hour ago. It wouldn't be weird if he dropped dead from a stroke, right here and now. Flower petals encompassed him. As toy limbs sprouted from his body and started choking him. Usopp couldn't move as he was strangled by these grown limbs from the petals.
Both blood and spit were running out from his mouth. Usopp smiled as Sugar approached to touch his body.
"I saved the last impact for you."
"Huh?"
He had another impact dial left.
"Impact!"
And on that day, Dressrosa's citizens had a grim reminder, as their toys turned back into husbands, sons, mothers, and daughters. The personages who came to compete were all turned back as well. Animals, pirates, marines, kings, beggars. All were turned back, and the memories of them came back rushing.
"Sugar!" Trebol had arrived from the cracks. Usopp guessed he was too late when he used the reject dial. If not, he'd have killed the damn prick. Trebol arrived and saw the broken girl on the ground. She was not dead. Usopp could have used the reject dial on her, but he felt wrong, killing a little child just like that. The impact was enough to cause a severe concussion. Therefore, Sugar was broken and bleeding from the head as her body was on the ground. Still alive.
"You…!"
There was no more mirth to the Logia man's tone of voice. Usopp would smirk, but it was too painful to do even that.
The hardened chains of clear liquid were formed again like a chain whip that exploded. Trebol would swing that and take off Usopp's head.
Usopp looked behind him, and there she was, Robin. She was injured but glaring at Trebol so fiercely that Usopp thought this glower would be enough to kill. However, the world isn't so nice.
If someone's coming, then it would be an excellent time to arrive. Just saying.
Usopp and Robin had fought countless soldiers in the palace.
They had fought an Admiral and a Warlord as they ran away.
They had faced meteorites falling in their heads.
They had led a rebellion of the little people until this ruined port underground. They had fought a Logia that could explode things and a girl with an immortal army. Honestly, Usopp would like to file a complaint about overworking here.
The hardened liquid chain that would end his life approached yet again. Usopp couldn't move a single muscle, even though he could predict where the strike would land.
And then, two swords, one of snow and one of fire, blocked the attack and blew Trebol from across the room.
"Zoro…?"
Usopp asked with his bloody eyes.
However, they were not Zoro. Two samurai had saved his and Robin's lives.
"Did we arrive in time? Usohachi-dono!" It was Kikunojo, the snow samurai they rescued from Punk Hazard. And with her was an unknown male samurai. Usopp guessed he was called Kin'emon.
"I'll always save the ones who rescued both Momonosuke-sama and O-Kiku. You have my thanks."
A thankful voice came from that incredible samurai that was here in Dressrosa. So Kikunojo was able to rescue her comrade, which was frankly amazing. Having the strength of the samurai with them was reassuring.
Trebol exploded from the rubble in rage. Robin glared so fiercely at the man, almost as if she was boring a hole in the man's skull.
However, at the same time, the roof collapsed as a giant fire dragon came from above. With that dragon was a cute lady and a seasoned Fishman. In the center of the dragon was a lilac lady. There was also Franky and a pink-haired woman wearing bikini armor of all things with them.
With their arrival, Trebol, the Logia man, retreated with Sugar's unconscious body in his hands.
Honestly, it felt like the cavalry arrived. Usopp smirked painfully, and as his consciousness faded, he heard a crowd of 8 million followers. All shouting his name, strangely enough.
"God Usopp…" "God Usopp…" "God Usopp…" "God Usopp…" "God Usopp…" "God Usopp…"
Usopp went to the la-la-land of dreams. Honestly, he was done. He deserved his rest. They shouted such things, what a strange dream.
Frankly, I have no idea what the hell is happening anymore.
