UNASHAMED PLUGGING: I have a new fic entitled 'Together for Always' it's an ASL with Whitebeard Pirates fic. Hope you read that as well. Thank you.

THIS FIC WAS BETA-ED BY BEKA. 

Now without further ado.

I remember the day when I was finally free from those shackles that hindered me from fighting. It was time for me to join the battle and face Doflamingo again. I swore that this time I wouldn't be beaten again.

When we were finally on track again, enemies started to swarm us, intending to make us fall, but you just beat them without exerting any effort. However, we were still far away from where Doflamingo was. Running by foot in that case was not enough if only Doflamingo hadn't shot Ucy with his strings, tch.

"Hey, Straw Hat Luffy," called the annoying blonde from earlier.

"Hop on." He tilted his head to show us the free space behind him. Cavendish, if I'm not be mistaken, was riding on a white horse. Where the hell did he even get that horse?

"Cool, Thanks Cabbage," you said and lifted me up on the horse before you. Cavendish or was his name is Cabbage, never mind, was in front while I'm behind him and you take your place behind me. When you finally positioned yourself comfortably, you held me by the waist and leaned me on your chest. I could feel the heat rise on my cheek as I feel the fast beating of your heart.

"I can't believe you two. We're on the battlefield and yet both of you act like as if you're on a date," Cabbage said with a shake of his head, voice sounding clearly not amused. At his words my cheeks exploded in both embarrassment and anger.

"Stop with your nonsense. We don't act like that," I growled dangerously, eyes narrowing.

"That's right. Traffy and I are not dating," you agreed and looked away, cheeks flushing at what you added in what you thought a whisper. "Not yet."

My eyes widened and I whipped my head towards you. Clearly that was not intended to be heard, but I and as well as Cabbage heard it clearly as he whipped his head towards you as well, eyes wide just like mine were.

"W..what?" I stuttered as I felt that annoying skip of my heart again.

"What?" you questioned back with flushed cheeks and mouth agape.

"What did you say?" I asked again without a stutter this time.

"N..nothing," you said looking anywhere not at me.

"Anyways, Cabbage let's go to where that Mingo is," you shouted, changing the subject.

"You two are impossible." Cabbage sighed in frustration. He motioned his horse to move again before turning his head to look at me, leaning down face to face at me; he stared directly at my eyes before whispering, "Good luck, Miss Law."

I blinked my eyes trying to decipher what he meant, when suddenly I was tugged rather harshly to your chest as I could hear you growl.

"Oi, Cabbage. Eyes on the road not on Traffy," you chided childishly, but Cabbage just waved his hand.

'What was your problem anyway?' I thought to myself.

"Whatever. Anyways, listen Straw Hat, I'll slice through the wall and create a new path," Cabbage said as he readied his sword.

"Then I'll send any enemies flying," you said like it was the best plan ever. Cabbage nodded and turns his head toward us.

"We'll head straight up to the third level in one go," Cabbage said with a smirk until his eyes widen and his jaw dropped.

"Wha- wait there's a new comer. Who the heck are you?" Cabbage asked in shock. As the blond man reacted violently you turned your head as well and made a sound of recognition when you saw the newcomer's face. The both of you started a conversation completely ignoring Cabbage's shout of rejection.

"We're going to meet up with Rebecca soon!!" At the mention of the princess's name my ears perked up a little, and I silently listened to your conversation. The conversation consisted of you and the newcomer's argument about the little princess.

Soldier-ya, as you called him, was really against our idea of that little princess delivering the key to us, but as usual you just waved him off and told him that everything would be fine with a laugh. I sighed inwardly. I thought you're going to agree with him as well and all my hope of being released from my shackles would be for naught.

"Don't worry, my friends are with her. Anyway Soldier-guy why did you run off like that?" you questioned, changing the topic. I raised an eyebrow but didn't say a thing. I just listened to you two talk, trying to find a more comfortable position. The bull was less crowded than this but since we're hitchhiking; beggars can't be choosers.

"You better not be trying to die," you reprimanded him with a serious voice after he told you about his target. Soldier-ya's answer was full of self-confidence and at his answer you laughed and exclaimed, "Then that's fine!"

That comment didn't go well with Cabbage-ya as he was still complaining about the extra rider on his horse and as usual his complaints fell on deaf ears.

As we continued, the weirdos from the coliseum had surprisingly started working together as a team in order to help us reach the top. They attacked the enemies that were heading our way and some shielded us. Just a moment before those people had different goals, but there they were teaming up with the same purpose. Was that the 'will of D' that made that happen, or was it just your own will?

"This whole affair happened because of Doflamingo's miscalculations. If he didn't invite so many unpredictable strong fighters from countries all around the world to participate in his coliseum fight, then nothing like this would have happened. Now that us fighters are working together, we will not be defeated, and at any rate Doflamingo's head will be mine." Cabbage-ya said with a voice full of conviction, but of course his last statement didn't sit well with us.

"What are you talking about, Cabbage? I'm the one who's gonna beat up Mingo," you shouted at him. My eyebrow twitched, I wouldn't just let either of you two snatch my prey.

"Stop dreaming, Mugiwara-ya. I'll be the one who will kill Doflamingo." I argued back. We continued arguing on who's gonna beat Doflamingo to the point that we look like a bunch of children.

"I must atone for the tragedy of ten years ago." And now we're talking about time, then nothing will beat mine.

"If it's time then my grudge goes back thirteen years," I said.

You stared at me for a second before rebutting. "Then mine is thirty years"

"This can wait. We're about to reach the third level," Cabbage said in defeat. That earned our attention, just a little and we were finally close to reaching Doflamingo. My hand twitched in anticipation at the thought of facing Doflamingo again.

'I'm not going to lose again.' I promised to myself.

Yet another obstacle hindered us from moving forward in the form of giant dolls that wouldn't go down. When it started to attack us, the white horse couldn't dodge it and its head was chomped on. As the white horse was attacked, you wrapped your arms around my waist and jumped from the horse so that we wouldn't fall with it. You quickly put me down to save the horse with your ability. After it was saved you headed towards me again.

"You alright, Traffy?" you asked worriedly when you noticed that I wasn't moving and just staring at the poor horse.

"Yeah. I'm just surprised," I answered. You smiled at me, those smiles that always affect me for some unknown reason, before going back to join the battle. Every time the giant dolls was struck, hit or sliced it kept coming back to its original form.

"Is this thing immortal?" you asked no one in disbelief. I let out a growl of frustration as I remained useless in this battle as all I can do is watch.

"Damn it. If I just had the keys to these fucking cuffs, I will take care of that damn dolls." I growled angrily and started to tug at the chains, making a series of clinking that sounded like mocking. Fucking kairoseki cuffs.

"Something's falling down from above!" you suddenly exclaimed cutting my tantrum short. I looked up and saw that there are two people falling down quickly from above. Soon one of them fell on the giant dolls crushing them. To my surprise the other person that fell down was Nico-ya, she was gliding rather elegantly considering that her wings are made by connected limbs. That means they have the key to these cuffs.

"Nico-ya! Give me the key!" I exclaimed toward Nico-ya with a hint of desperation. I just can't wait to have these annoying cuffs off me. Before I could have an answer, Gladius butted to our conversation.

"Luffy-kun, Traffy-chan, Soldier-san, go on ahead to the Sunflower Field!! Rebecca is on her way there with the key," Nico-ya said and that was the last straw.

I was so tired of waiting for that damn key and when would I learn? The one that was actually holding the key was again not there. Bullshit. I took a deep breath. There's no use getting angry over it, what done is done.

"Hey, Mugiwara-ya. Let's head to the Sunflower Field quick." You nodded but Gladius was very persistent to not let us escape as he soon attacked us with his bombs, but before it could hit us the weird guy that keeps squealing over your presence shielded us with his ability.

"Barriability, Stairs" the chicken looking guy said as he crossed his arm and then his fingers. There a series of staircase emerged from nowhere, your eyes sparkled while you watched the stairs materialize, and you kept cheering until it reached the top. My eyes were also wide in amazement. Now that was a shortcut. I turned my gaze at the barrier guy with an amused smirk as he became a sobbing mess every time you complimented him and his ability.

"That's a lot of help," I said, but I didn't get an answer as he was busy sobbing at the praise he was receiving.

"Thanks, Rooster-head," you thanked him and then turned to me to pick me up again.

"Now we can head straight to level 4. Let's move, Traffy!" you shouted as you made your way to the stairs. The soldier hurrying in front of us. Only Cabbage didn't follow because of his desire to avenge his fallen horse.

A cry from Nico-ya caught our attention, at the back there's a bomb coming to us which the barrier guy shielded with his own body.

When we arrived on top, there were still a giant doll following us from behind, Soldier-ya rushed ahead when he heard a scream of "Mr. Soldier!"

"Rebecca!! The key!!" you screamed on top of your lungs so that the princess could hear us. You extended your rubbery arms to the stunned princess as soon as she noticed us. When she finally came to her senses, she threw the key to us at the exact moment we were devoured by the giant doll.

Luckily you caught the key before the doll closed its mouth. Hearing the distinctive click of the cuff and feeling the familiar energy and relief surge within my body, I immediately activated my power with extra enthusiasm.

"Room!" I shouted as I grabbed my Kikoku from you and slashed the giant dolls with vigor, letting out all my frustration and annoyance in that single attack.

"Finally, I'm free again," I exclaimed in relief, flexing my hand to make the blood flow easily.

"We made it at level four. Mingo is not too far away from us," you said with a ferocious growl. Soldier-ya told us to go ahead.

"Can I leave Doflamingo to the both of you?" He asked without looking away from Diamante.

"Of course!" We shouted in unison. He was our target after all.

'Today will be the day that Doflamingo will go down. I swear.'
