Chapter 34 Confrontation

Paul was flying in the air as he saw the birdcage, " haha, that Doflamingo must be panicking at the moment." Then his face grew serious as he knew what was going to happen next, " I got to try and end this fight fast or else everyone is going to suffer even more."

Paul then began flying to the base of the mountain to reunite with his crew. 'brrr' 'brrr' Paul took out his den den mushi and answered it 'katcha'

Paul: " Hello Sera. Where are you guys."

Sera: " Paul, it is me, King Riku, Kyros, and Viola at the base of the mountain. What should we do?"

Paul: " Okay, wait for me there and also tell Daz and Robin to meet where you are too so that we can move out together. Things are about to get even more hectic so stay there and be careful."

On his way there, he saw Rebecca and assumed that she must've also been kicked out of the colosseum when the whole island began to shift because of Pica.

Paul flew down and landed beside her, " Rebecca, where are you headed now?"

Rebecca: " I I want to see Soldier-san, no I want to go see my father!!"

Paul smiled as he grabbed her waist, " Alright, I'll take you to him right away. He should be with my friends."

Rebecca: " O Okay."

The two quickly flew through the sky and on their way to the base of the mountain. On the way there, Doflamingo's plan has already been implemented. It was Doflamingo's parasite strings which latched onto random citizens and controlled their body and makes it attack the people around them. Seeing the situation, Paul hurried the pace as he didn't want anymore casualties to occur. The main reason why Paul didn't want to cut the strings attached to the people is mostly because it would take up a lot more time, when he could just hurry up and beat up Doflamingo and it will all be over. Another thing was because of Sera's devil fruit which can heal their wounds. The same could be applied to when Mansherry gets rescued.

Soon after Paul arrived at the location. There he saw the rest of his crew as well as King Riku, Viola, and Kyros.

Rebecca saw Viola and immediately ran to her and gave her a big hug. "Viola-sama where is father?"

Viola gave her a deep look and told her, " Kyros-nii sama couldn't wait any longer and decided to go ahead."

Rebecca: " I I want to go see him. Can't I go?"

Viola shook her head. " Rebecca, you must stay here too. You are too young, there's going to be a big battlefield up ahead. You are not ready to face them."

Rebecca: " But... I don't want to stay here and do nothing, while Paul and the others fight."

Viola: " enough Rebecca. They fight because they have the strength and power to go against them."

Sera: " Paul you finally arrived. We have to hurry. Do you not see what's happening around you?!"

Paul: " I know, I understand that we are in a hurry. Daz you will take care of Pica. Sera, you take Trebol. Vlad continue with finding and destroying the SMILE factory. Robin take King Riku and Viola somewhere safe and try to help the people as much as you can."

Everyone nodded their head.

Sera: " Daz, I have fought Pica before. He hides in the stone a lot so you may have to lure him out so you can fight him head on."

Daz: " I understand, thanks. I have also fought Trebol, his devil fruit is weird. Since he is covered in mucus I had thought that he was a logia, however, whenever I cut him, it didn't seem to cut him so you will have to watch out."

Sera: " Thanks for the information."

Paul: " Let's go."

Paul, Sera, Daz, and Vlad moved out. Unlike the Luffy's crew, Paul and the others could fly. They don't need to spend so much time just getting to the upper levels and getting distracted.

During their flight, they encountered several of the executives already fighting against the strong members of the colosseum fighters. Paul had assumed they wanted to get ahead of them by defeating Doflamingo first but it seems they were stopped by the Donquixote family officers. When Paul and the others flew past them, they all yelled Paul angerly saying that they want to fight Doflamingo but Paul just ignored them anyways. Since Paul had beaten them, he doesn't need to listen to them as if Paul couldn't beat Doflamingo, what makes them capable of fighting against Doflamingo.

Reaching close to the top, Pica and Trebol jumped down and tried to stop Paul, but Sera and Daz already moved to their perspective opponent. Paul quickly went to the top and saw Doflamingo sitting leisurely on the throne.

Paul: " Yo, Doflamingo, aren't you pretty relaxed."

Doflamingo: " You finally reached here huh hahaha. Why don't you tell me what business you have with me."

Paul: " Hmmm? To be honest, I just felt like this story should've changed sooner rather than later. Did you know crocodile tried to do the same thing, but I was the one who stopped him. Unfortunately I was born too late to stop you from taking and terrorizing this country too."

Doflamingo veins popped up when he heard Paul's reason for interrupting his plans for the future. " Story? Oi what kind of bullshit is that. Do you think this is just some game to you?! You wasted eight years of planning. Do you not know who I have a business deal with? Do you know what would happen once the SMILE factory is destroyed? Are you a fool?!!"

Paul: " Kaido right? haha. Of course I plan on fighting Kaido and the other Yonkos. I plan to beat them all down and the World Government too."

Doflamingo: "... Hahahaha. You are a fool. The Yonkos are one thing but the World Government? They have been the strongest force for nearly 800 years. What power could beat them?"

Paul: " Well I guess you will have to see in Hell or in Impel Down haha."

Doflamingo: " Very well then, let's finish this."

Looking around them, the Navy saw several civilians crying and attacking one another.

Gion: " Tsuru-sama, what what is happening. Why are they attacking each other."

Tsuru looked around and up in the sky and shook her head in disappointment, " It is because of Doflamingo and his devil fruit power. It seems like before we even noticed, Doflamingo had already taken over and hidden something dark in this country. This is why I opposed the Shichibukai system. Look what has happened once the Pirates are given a clean state of bounty and allowed to act as they please if they help the World Government when ordered to. Such a dirty thing has happened before our very eyes."

Gion: " What should we do then. Should we go capture Doflamingo? With everything that has been revealed, it is impossible for him to remain as a Shichibukai."

Tsuru: " Indeed that's true. Although the World Government had told us to protect Doflamingo from Paul and his pirate crew, Aokiji and Sengoku wanted me to secretly investigate this incident myself. Because of my enmity and reputation for going against Doflamingo, I was best one suited to do it. For the time being, protect the civilians and detain them before they cause even more harm."

Gion: " Yes."
