Summary- On their way to Dressrosa, the Straw Hat-Heart Pirate Alliance's sleep is interrupted by an unforeseen obstacle- one who wants Caesar's ability to make SMILE Devil Fruits for himself! It's up to Luffy, Law, Chopper, Nami, and Blizzard to get Caesar back before the plan falls apart! However, an old friend from Luffy's past exploits might get in the way, even though he might not want to!

Ch. 1- Caesar Goes Missing!

It is a calm, cool night on the seas of the New World. The Thousand Sunny, the beloved ship of the Straw Hat Pirates, has lowered her anchors to let the crew aboard rest for the night.

Monkey D. Luffy and his fiancé, Nami are in their bedroom, lying on their duvet with nothing but the covers to conceal their bare bodies as the former snored loudly while the latter rested her head upon his chest. Their clothes lie scattered haphazardly amongst the floor.

Roronoa Zoro and Nico Robin lie asleep upstairs, the former wrapping his arms protectively around his lover. Neither of them are bare, like the couple in the room below them.

Sanji is with Brook, asleep in the Men's Quarters, along with Kin'emon and his son, Momonosuke.

Luffy's younger half-sister, Monkey D. Aika, is asleep in her bedroom with her Akita puppy, Kumi, and Luffy's wolf-dog, Blizzard.

Even Trafalgar Law, his dog, Jupiter, and the mad scientist, Caesar Clown, have found the will to sleep.

The only ones who are awake right now are Usopp, Chopper, and Franky, who are up keeping watch. Usopp and Chopper are still convinced that Doflamingo was bound to attack them sooner or later, so they asked Kin'emon to make them some samurai armor again and gave them weapons like a pole-arm for Chopper and a halberd for Usopp.

'I just know he's gonna show up, right when we let our guard down,' Usopp thought. 'Come and do your worst, Doflamingo! Or better yet…don't come at all!'

'I…I can't go to sleep…!' Chopper thought, his eyes wide and bugged out, yet slightly baggy with sleepiness.

Franky let out a yawn as he looked through is binoculars.

"So far, so good on the horizon," he said. "Nothing but calm, smooth seas, as far as the eye can see."

At that moment, dark clouds began to move closer together, obscuring the light of the full moon, thus making the sky seem darker and putting Usopp and Chopper into even more unease.

Then…it happened.

"…Sic 'em."

At that order, shadowy figures wearing what looked like glowing green collars around their necks suddenly appeared in the sky above…and rained down upon the Sunny, startling everyone aboard!

"AAAAAH!" Caesar shrieked. "WHAT'S GOING ON?!"

"AAAAH! SCARY~!" Usopp and Chopper screamed as they embraced each other.

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAA~!" Aika screamed from her room, covering her ears and her eyes screwed shut while Kumi started barking wildly.

Not long after, Luffy and the others came out as well. Luckily, Luffy and Nami remembered to get dressed before rushing out.

"Hey! What's going on?!" Luffy questioned. "Who's there?!"

"What the hell is happening?!" Law questioned.

As the dust cleared, everyone saw the shadowy creatures, standing on the deck: at least 30 of them. All of them seemed to have long ears and glowing red eyes.

"W-what are those things?!" Usopp questioned.

"I dunno," Zoro said, brandishing his swords. "It looks like they're not about to attack yet…but don't let your guard down!"

"Right," Luffy said, taking a fighting stance, as did everyone else. At first, it looked liked the intruders were just going to stand there…until…

"Big Brother? What's going on out there?!"

Luffy gasped before he turned around and saw Aika and Kumi coming outside.

"AIKA! KUMI! GO BACK INSIDE!" he shouted. "IT'S NOT SAFE!"

Soon, one of the creatures turned on the two girls, who yelped in fright before they turned to run. However, Luffy jumped in the way of the shadowy intruder…and ended up getting himself punched in the face.

"Big Brother!" Aika cried.

"Luffy!" Blizzard cried.

"Bastard!" Luffy cursed as he threw a punch at his attacker. "Don't touch my Little Sis!"

"Aika! Kumi! Come over here to me!" Nami called. "Hurry!"

"R-right!" Aika and Kumi said before they ran over to the navigator, just when the Monster Quartet, plus Brook, Kin'emon, Law, and Jupiter, started fighting.

"Where the hell did these freaks come from!?" Zoro questioned as he blocked one of the creatures with his blades.

"Be careful!" Sanji shouted as he tried to kick some of them away. "There at least 30 of these guys!"

"Thirty of them?!" Brook questioned. "I can't tell! It's too dark!"

"Steel FANG!" Blizzard shouted as he bit one of the creatures with Haki-imbued fangs.

"Wings of HELL!" Jupiter shouted as he hit them with flaming wings.

"They are quite strong!" Kin'emon shouted as he tried to cut down a few with his swords.

"Just who the hell are they?!" Law questioned as he blocked an attack from another creature, one that was much shorter in stature than the others and let out frantic barks, one that caught Aika and Chopper's attention.

"What…?" Chopper asked.

"What did he say?" Aika whispered.

All of a sudden, a shrill whistle filled the air, and the creatures ceased their attack before jumping away into the sea.

"What the hell was that?!" Luffy questioned.

"What just happened?!" Nami asked, holding Aika and Kumi in her embrace.

"Good evening, ladies and gentleman!"

"Huh?!" Luffy muttered before he turned around. "Who's there?!"

Everyone looked up to the mast and saw another shadowy figure, standing on the roof of the Crow's Nest. As the clouds broke away to let in the light of the full moon, it is revealed to be a man of average height with broad shoulders, thin arms, and a square jaw. He has slightly large earlobes which are pierced with golden loop earrings, has curved eyebrows, a black mustache and goatee, and wears a blue, fur-lined jacket with a blue and white suit, almost like the ringmaster of a circus, and finally, a red bowtie and a monocle with a green tinted lens.

"Petotototo!" he laughed. "Permit to introduce myself. I am Breed, and I ate the Pet-Pet Devil Fruit."

"Pet-Pet?" Zoro asked.

"So…what does that mean?" Luffy asked.

"I guess it's Doflamingo then, huh?" Usopp asked.

"G-guess not," Chopper answered.

Breed smirked and let out a sinister chuckle as one of the creatures from earlier appeared beside him. It looked like some giant, blue-furred rabbit with a frilled neck and lighter blue scale on its underbelly. However…it appeared to be carrying something, or rather…someone.

"Law! Look!" Jupiter shouted.

"Dammit! That thing's got Caesar!" Law shouted.

Indeed. Caesar is now in the grasp of the creature.

"Shulololololo!" he laughed. "Idiots! I told you that you couldn't keep me prisoner! I warned you not to underestimate Doflamingo, didn't I?!"

"So that creep's working for Doflamingo, huh?!" Sanji questioned.

"Why you!" Luffy shouted as he jumped at Breed. "Give him back!"

But then, someone appeared out of nowhere and struck Luffy…with a blackened fist!

"UGH!" Luffy cried as he crashed into the deck.

"LUFFY!" Nami cried out.

"BIG BROTHER!" Aika shouted.

"Ah, man…that hurts!" Luffy seethed as he wiped blood from his lip.

"What?!" Sanji questioned. "But that's impossible! You're made of rubber! Punches can't hurt you!"

That's when realization began to set in as Sanji looked to the creature that punched Luffy…who is holding up a Haki-imbued fist.

"…Unless it was a Haki punch," Sanji concluded.

"I'll be taking Caesar now!" Breed called. "Farewell!"

With that, Breed and his two accomplices disappeared with Caesar in tow.

"Wait! Come back here!" Law shouted as he prepared to create a Room, but then, the Sunny began to rock, back and forth!

"WHOA!" Luffy cried.

"KYAAAAAAAAAA!" Aika shrieked, holding her hands over her head in fear.

"It's gonna be okay, Aika!" Nami cried. "It's gonna be okay!"

"What is going on?!" Zoro questioned.

Under the water, the same creatures like the one that stood by Breed not too long ago are seen, swirling around in the water, creating humongous waves that almost looked like rabbit faces, tossing the ship around like a plaything!

"What is with these waves?!" Franky questioned.

"Don't tell me…Rabbit Waves?!" Law asked.

"This is not good!" Franky cried as he sat at the helm. "I can't control the Sunny! These waves are throwing her up and down, too much!"

"What are we gonna do?!" Aika asked. "I don't like this!"

At that moment, Nami saw something up ahead and gasped silently.

"Guys! Look up there!" the navigator shouted. "What is that thing?!"

Everyone looked up and saw what appeared to be an enormous island…only, it seemed to have giant sails.

"What in heaven's name is that?!" Brook asked.

"A giant island?!" Robin asked.

"Wait! Look up there!" Sanji shouted as he pointed to a flag with a skull wearing a collar and a purple X in the back. "Isn't that a Jolly Roger?! That means it's a pirate ship!"

"Not the first time we've mistaken a ship for an island!" Blizzard shouted, remembering their encounter with a certain pirate from Gold Roger's era, 2 years ago.

"That means that Breed guy is a pirate, isn't he!?" Zoro asked.

"We have to go after him and get Caesar back!" Law shouted.

"Luffy!" Franky called. "You take the Shark Submerge! It can only carry 3 people, but you can use it to go underwater!"

"Got it!" Luffy said as he opened the hatch.

"Wait, Luffy!" Chopper shouted. "I wanna go, too! Something about this worries me!"

"Okay," Luffy nodded.

"Luffy, Blizzard and I are going, too!" Nami said.

"Are you sure about that?!" Luffy asked.

"Well, someone has to keep you in check!" Nami shouted, and Luffy grinned.

"Right!" he said.

"H-hey, wait, Luffy!" Usopp cried. "What about the rest of us?!"

"I need you guys to stay here!" Luffy answered. "Look after Aika and Kumi for me!"

"Oh, I see!" Usopp said. "Sure! I'll take care of them for ya!"

"Just be careful, Long Nose-ya!" Law shouted. "Doflamingo can still come and attack us at any time!"

"W…what?" Usopp muttered. "AND WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE CALLING LONG NOSE?!"

"Big Brother! Big Sis!" Aika shouted. "Please, be careful, okay?!"

"Don't worry Aika!" Luffy said. "We'll be back before you know it!"

With that, Luffy and his team left. Surprisingly, though, Law had left Jupiter behind with the other Straw Hats.

"Looks like they're on their way," Usopp said.

"I sure hope they'll be okay," Kumi said.

"They'll be okay!" Aika said. "Big Brother and Big Sis Nami are strong!"

"That may be true, Aika," Robin said, "but…something worries me."

"Oh, no, Robin, not now!" Usopp begged.

"3 of them are Devil Fruit users," Robin pondered, "so…if worse to comes to worse."

"…I don't like what you're saying, Auntie Robin," Aika muttered, worriedly.

Jupiter just sighed.

'…Be careful out there…Law…'

Meanwhile, under the water, Luffy and his group are seen tailing after the group of rabbit-like sea creatures.

"There they are!" Nami exclaimed.

"Quick, Chopper!" Luffy shouted. "Go faster!"

"I got it!" Chopper replied.

Blizzard just sat in the back, groaning in a sickly manner.

"Blizzard, you okay?" Luffy asked.

"Blizzard, you know you get seasick in the Shark Submerge," Chopper said. "Why did you come along?"

"Look, you know how I am," Blizzard said. "You know I can't let Luffy go anywhere without me, whether I wanna follow him or not!"

Chopper sighed before he returned to steering.

"…Luffy, Nami," he said. "Don't those things look like Lapahns to you?"

"Lapahns?" Luffy repeated.

"What are those?" Nami asked.

"You know," Chopper said, "those big rabbits that you saw back on Drum Kingdom, where I'm from."

"Oh~!" Luffy realized. "You mean those big polar bear rabbits!"

"I don't remember seeing those," Nami said.

"Well, you were out of it, so of course you don't remember," Luffy answered.

"They look a little different," Chopper began, "and Lapahns can't swim, but…"

"They're probably Sea Lapahns," Law said.

"Huh?" Chopper muttered.

"You mean you know what they are?" Blizzard asked.

"That's right," Law answered. "I saw them when I sailed in the North Blue, which is actually their native sea. They don't live anywhere in the New World. Is that why you decided to come with us, Raccoon Dog-ya?"

"Yeah," Chopper said. "HEY, WAIT A SECOND! I'M NOT A RACCOON DOG! I'M A REINDEER, YOU JACKASS! REMEMBER THAT!"

"AHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Luffy laughed.

"Luffy, stop laughing!" Nami ordered.

"Yeah! It's not funny!" Blizzard added.

"Sorry, sorry!" Luffy said, taking a breath to calm himself down.

"Anyway…there's another reason why I came," Chopper said. "One of the animal…he said something."

"Really?" Luffy asked. "I was so busy fighting, I didn't hear him."

"What did he say, Chopper?" asked Nami.

"He said, 'I actually don't wanna do this'," Chopper said.

"So you can understand animals, too, Raccoon Dog-ya?" Law asked.

"That's right," Chopper said. "I was a born animal, so I…WAIT A SECOND! DAMMIT, I'M NOT A RACCOON DOG, I TOLD YOU! I'M A REINDEER! REINDEER!"

Luffy just burst out into laughter, again.

"LUFFY! STOP LAUGHING!" Nami shouted.

"IT'S NOT FUNNY!" Blizzard barked. "ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?!"

As they argued, Law appeared to be deep in thought.

'That Breed guy…and those sea creatures…is he really working for Doflamingo? …I hope we're not getting ourselves into a big mess.'

"Oh, look!" Luffy exclaimed, suddenly. "They're going in that thing!"

Nami, Chopper, Blizzard, and Law looked up and saw the Sea Lapahns going into some kind of structure. It is revealed that they are going under the helm of Breed's ship.

Soon, the Shark Submerge emerged in a small pool, which appeared to be designed to look like it was in the middle of some kind of jungle.

"…Okay," Nami said. "I am SO nervous, right now."

"You're not alone," Chopper added.

"Okay, be careful and stay alert," Law said. "Remember, we're in enemy territory now-"

"Hey, guys!" Luffy called, standing nearby a cave-like entrance. "It's brighter over here!"

"You idiot!" Law whispered. "Don't shout!"

"And don't go off by yourself, either!" Nami added.

"They're right, Luffy…!" Chopper whimpered, standing behind Blizzard in his signature reverse peek.

Soon, they walked through the tunnel…and found a huge aquarium.

"Oh, my god…!" Nami whispered.

"Whoa…it's huge!" Luffy exclaimed. "Look at it! It goes all the way up to the ceiling!"

"We're not here for fun, Straw Hat-ya," Law said. "Stay focused."

"He's right, Luffy," Blizzard said. "Don't get carried away."

However, once again, Luffy's attention had been grabbed by something else.

"Chopper, look! A sparkling shrimp!"

"Ooh! Cool~!"

"PAY ATTENTION, YOU CLODS!"

BONK!

"OUCH!"

"That aside…" Law began…but then he stopped, suddenly alert.

"What's up, Traffy?" Luffy asked.

All of a sudden, the Sea Lapahns jumped out at them from out of nowhere, followed by a yellow-furred capybara wearing a sumo wrestlers outfit, a penguin wearing a white karate outfit, and a giant octopus with boxing gloves on each of its tentacles.

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Nami and Chopper shrieked while Luffy and Blizzard smirked.

"Time for some fun, buddy," Luffy said, cracking his knuckles.

"I couldn't agree more," Blizzard added.

Soon, the animals attacked, but the Straw Hats and Law were ready for them!

"Room!" Law exclaimed as he created a large dome of thin film around himself and cut up as many Sea Lapahns as he could.

"Thunder TRAP!" Nami shouted as several more got hit by 3 thunderclouds from Nami's Sorcery Clima-Tact.

GRAAAAAAWWRR! Blizzard roared as he tackled another Sea Lapahn in the stomach.

"WATOW!" Chopper screamed in his Kung Fu Point as he did battle with the capybara and penguin at once, while Luffy dueled with the octopus.

"You may have eight arms," Luffy said, "but I can grow at least 4 times as many arms as you can!"

With that, Luffy lunged at the octopus and began to unleash his Gum-Gum Gatling attack. At first, it seemed they were evenly matched, but eventually, Luffy managed to send the beast flying. Before long, all the animals had been defeated, unsurprisingly.

"How'd you like that?" Luffy asked. "Shishishi!"

"It's almost daybreak," Law said. "Let's hurry and go find Caesar already."

"Right," Nami said. "The sooner we find him, the sooner we can leave this madhouse."

But before they could do so, one more animal appeared and attempted to attack them. However, the group jumped back in the nick of time, barely avoiding the creature's punch, which left a small crater…due its fist being imbued with Haki.

"What the hell is his deal?!" Blizzard questioned.

"Just as I thought," Law said. "He can use Haki after all."

It is revealed that the creature is actually…a Kung-Fu Dugong with an X-shaped mark painted on its belly.

"Is…is that a Kung-Fu Dugong?!" Nami questioned.

"Like the ones we saw in Alabasta!" Chopper added.

Law was about to go in for the attack, but Luffy held out his hand, stopping him.

"Leave this to me," the Straw Hat Captain said. "We've got a score to settle."

"Luffy?" Blizzard asked.

The Dugong barked as he took a fighting stance, as did Luffy.

"Since you can use Haki," Luffy began, "I guess I'll fight with the gloves off, myself. Now bring it on!"

With that, the two opponents lunged at each other, armed with nothing but their black fists, and then, their punches clashed. At first, it looked like they were evenly matched as well…but then, with a single roar, Luffy sent the Dugong flying across the room!

"Yeah!" Luffy cheered. "I win!"

The Dugong blinked for a moment…as he remembered the day of his first by a boy in a straw hat in Alabasta, and he said the exact same words!

'Can it be…?' the Dugong thought before he sat up…and almost instantly, he made the connection.

"OOHHHH!" the Dugong cried joyfully before jumping up at Luffy and wrapping his flippers around his neck. "MASTER, IT'S YOU!"

"Huh? Master?" Luffy repeated.

"Luffy, what's he talking about?" Blizzard asked.

"Wait…that means…" Nami muttered before she gasped.

"It's the same Kung-Fu Dugong from Alabasta!" Chopper exclaimed. "He became Luffy's disciple after he beat him!"

Meanwhile, in a dungeon located somewhere on Breed's ship…

"Hey!" Caesar shouted, grabbing at the bars. "What the hell is going on?! I'm the great scientist, Master Caesar Clown! Is anyone out there?! Let me out of this godforsaken thing, right now! Hello?!"

"Petototo…"

Caesar looked up and saw Breed entering.

"Hello, good sir," Breed greeted. "How are you?"

"Ah, good," Caesar sighed, relieved. "Thank you for saving me that band of ruffians. Now, please let me out. I must see Doflamingo!"

"…Shut up, you human scum," Breed hissed.

WHAK! He cracked a whip, startling Caesar, who stumbled backwards and onto the floor.

"Ah!" the scientist cried. "What's wrong with you, you clod?! No, wait…don't tell me…you're not with Doflamingo, after all?! Don't screw with me, you bastard!"

He got back up and grabbed the bars as he said this.

"Do you have any idea who I am?!" Caesar questioned.

"Of course I do," Breed answered. "You are Caesar Clown, Joker's little lapdog."

"D-did you say 'Joker'?!" Caesar questioned. "You mean you have connections to the underworld?!"

"Petototo!" Breed laughed. "That's right…now, you better start wagging your tail for me, your new master, Breed! You will use your scientific mastery to create my perfect world!"

"Huh?" Caesar muttered. "Don't be stupid. I am the world's greatest scientist. I can't waste my time doing my precious work for someone I don't even know!"

"Such an attitude," said Breed. "I wonder how long you can keep it up after I do this."

Suddenly, his left hand turned green and slimy, and he reached it towards Caesar, who began to panic.

"W-wait!" Caesar cried. "What do you think you're doing?! Keep your filthy hands off me, you fool! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOO!"

XXX

"Oh, wait!" Luffy said. "Now I remember! You're that Kung-Fu Seal from Alabasta!"

"It took till now to remember?" Nami asked in a deadpan tone.

"It's been a long time, Master!" the Dugong exclaimed, bowing his head while the animals that Luffy and his group defeated stood behind him.

"It's been so long since I saw you!" Luffy said, holding the Dugong's flippers. "How've you been?"

"They hit it off, already?!" Chopper questioned in shock.

"So…he knows that little seal?" Law asked.

"Oh, yeah," Nami replied. "You see, back in Alabasta, Luffy made friends with a group of Kung-Fu Dugongs."

"Kung Fu Dugongs love to fight and they'll challenge anyone," Chopper added. "Usopp learned this the hard way. He got beaten so easily, but Luffy defeated their leader."

"I believe you said that when a Kung-Fu Dugong loses a fight, they have to become the disciple of the one who defeats them," Blizzard said. "Is that right?"

"Yeah, that's right," Chopper answered. "That's how they know each other."

"I see," Law said. "So…do you mind telling me what that's all about, then?"

Nami, Chopper, and Blizzard looked and saw Luffy and the Dugong, performing "practice punches".

"Like this, Seal!" Luffy exclaimed. "One, two! One, two! Pull your arms back all the way and then punch, like me! Use your lower body, too! Put more power into it!"

"Yes, Master!" the Dugong barked.

"Now, one, two! One, two!" Luffy shouted.

"Yep…it's him, all right," Nami muttered.

"Okay, stop for now," Luffy said. "You've really gotten stronger, haven't you, Seal?"

"Yes, indeed, Master!" the Dugong replied.

"…Hey," Luffy said. "What's this thing on your tummy? It looks like…my scar?"

"Ah, yes!" the Dugong said. "I saw your scar in the newspaper and I wanted to copy you!"

"You mean you hurt yourself?!" Blizzard questioned in disbelief.

"Oh, no!" the Dugong answered. "I only painted it on!"

Hearing this caused Luffy to burst into laughter.

"That's so funny!" he exclaimed, while the Dugong sheepishly rubbed the back of his head.

"Well, it's so good to see you again!" Nami said as she gave the Dugong a hug and a light peck on the cheek, causing him to blush.

"Yeah!" Chopper added. "Long time, no see, huh?!"

"I hate to interrupt this little reunion," Law said, "but now that we know that you're Straw Hat-ya's…do you mind telling us why you came to the New World and why you had to kidnap our important hostage?"

The Dugong gasped…but then sighed.

"Forgive me," he said. "I didn't know it was your ship, Master, but you see…I had a good reason?"

"Yeah?" Luffy asked. "What was it?"

"You see, after I met you in Alabasta," the Dugong continued, "you said that 'Pirates are always free. The sea is wide and there's lots of adventure out there'! Those words inspired me, so I said goodbye to my brothers and set out to sea on my own, dreaming of becoming a pirate, just like you! I came across many obstacles and formidable foes, but I made many friends, as well! We overcame so many hardships and formed a crew of sea animals, until we finally reached the New World! …But then…he came."

"You mean Breed?" Chopper asked.

"Yes," the Dugong answered. "He…put these collars on our necks…and now, we are forced to follow his orders. We are nothing more than his slaves, now."

"So that's why you attacked us," Blizzard said. "He ordered you, didn't he?"

"That's right," the Dugong answered.

"So, this Breed guy is the ringleader behind this," Law said. "Looks like Doflamingo's not involved, after all."

"I don't get it," Luffy said. "You're pretty strong, now, and you can use Haki and stuff, right?"

"Yeah!" Nami agreed. "Why do you have to listen to him?!"

The Dugong opened his mouth to speak, but then…

"Fall in, all of you!"

Suddenly, the animals' collars started glowing, and their eyes flashed red for a moment.

"What the-?!" Luffy questioned.

"Master! You have to leave, now!" the Dugong urged.

"Huh? Why?!" Chopper asked.

All of a sudden, the Dugong and his crew of animals just flew up into the air…and then lined up at the entrance. Not long after…Breed entered.

"Petototo…" he chuckled. "Well, well…and how are we today, you filthy humans?"

WHAK! He cracked his whip again, causing the animals to flinch.

"Hey, you bunch of mangy fleabags!" Breed shouted. "You lot are way too slow. Here's how a pet is supposed to be. First, loyal. Second, loyal. Third and fourth, loyal, and finally, LOYAL!"

Luffy glared at this, and Blizzard growled in his throat.

"Easy, buddy," Luffy said.

"When I give you idiots an order, I give you 3 seconds to follow it! Understand?!" Breed shouted.

WHAK! He cracked his whip again, and then stopped and crouched down before the Kung-Fu Dugong.

"Hey, Kung-Fu Dugong," Breed said, grabbing his face. "You're supposed to be setting a good example for them. You're beginning to be too slow, too! If you continue to disappoint me, you're no better than those shitty humans! You hear me?!"

Nami seethed angrily at watching Breed mistreat the Dugong, trying hard to keep her composure.

"Hey, you!" Law called. "You're Breed, right? Give Caesar back, right now, and there won't be any trouble."

"Oh, shut up, you human scumbag!" Breed shouted before he got a good look at Law and smirked. "Ah, yes, of course. I am Breed, and I am a pirate."

"A pirate, huh?" Luffy asked.

"Petotototo!" Breed laughed. "Imagine my surprise! I didn't expect the Warlord, Trafalgar Law, to be here with Straw Hat Luffy, who is worth 400 million! And his pretty little navigator, Cat Burglar Nami, as well."

Nami glared at Breed on the last part.

"Thank you for chasing us all the way, you no-good, damned, detestable humans!" Breed shouted before he raised his hand…which turned green and slimy again.

"Uh…what are you doing?" Nami asked, nervously.

'Oh, no!' the Dugong thought. 'Not that!'

"Man, you must be stupid," Luffy said. "There's no way you can hit us with something like that."

"Don't be so sure," Breed said. "Now…PET-PET COLLAR!"

He threw a ball of the green slime at Luffy, Law, and Nami, who quickly dodged it. However…it ended up hitting Blizzard and Chopper and formed a collar around their necks!

"Ah! Blizzard, Chopper!" Luffy cried.

"Are you two okay?!" Nami asked.

Blizzard grunted as he pawed at the collar.

"What the hell is this thing?!" the wolf-dog questioned. "I can't get it off!"

"Me neither!" Chopper cried.

"Hey!" Nami shouted at Breed. "What the hell did you do to them?!"

"Petotototo!" Breed laughed. "Trafalgar! Straw Hat! You both are quite strong. Stronger than me, I'll admit…however, do you really think you are a match for me?!" He the pointed at Chopper and Blizzard.

"Now, you two!" he ordered. "I want you…to tear Straw Hat and Trafalgar apart!"

"What?!" Chopper questioned. "I'm not doing tha-"

Before he could finish, the little reindeer suddenly found himself moving on his own.

"H-hey! What's going on?!" Chopper questioned. "I-I can't control my body!"

He then reached into his coat…and pulled out a Rumble Ball and ate it. Once he did that…he began to transform into his Monster Point form!

BWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH! He roared.

"CH-CHOPPER?!" Luffy questioned.

"What the hell happened?!" Nami asked.

"PETOTOTOTOTO!" Breed laughed. "Incredible!"

"Chopper! What are you doing?!" Luffy questioned.

Then, Chopper raised his hand and attempted to strike down Luffy, Nami, and Law! Luckily, they managed to dodge in time!

"That was close!" Law shouted.

"Why's he trying to attack us?!" Nami questioned. "It's like Enies Lobby, all over again!"

All of a sudden, BAM! Luffy was suddenly tackled by a white blur, causing him to fall to the floor.

"Luffy!" Nami cried.

Luffy looked up and saw…Blizzard, in his Frenzy Mode.

"B…Blizzard?" Luffy asked, disbelieving that his best friend would attack him. "What are you…?!"

"L-Luffy…" Blizzard groaned. "I…I'm sorry! It's not my fault! I can't control myself!"

BWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHH! Chopper roared before his eyes returned to normal.

"Guys…get away from us!" Chopper urged in a deep voice. "Please!"

"Chopper! Blizzard!" Nami cried. "No!"

"That's it! I'm putting a stop to this!" Law shouted, preparing to make a Room, but then, Luffy tackled him.

"STOP!" Luffy shouted. "What the hell do you think you're doing, asshole?!"

"Yeah! They're our friends!" Nami added. "You can't hurt them!"

"Get off me!" Law shouted. "I'm not gonna hurt them! I'm just trying to get them under control!"

But then, SHPLAK! Luffy, Nami, and Law were all hit by the same green slime, causing collars to form on their necks!

"W-what the?!" Nami questioned.

"Fuck!" Law cursed.

"PETOTOTOTOTO!" Breed laughed. "Fools…I told you! I ate the Pet-Pet Devil Fruit!"

"'Pet-Pet'?" Law repeated. "Wait…does that mean…?!"

"Exactly!" Breed shouted. "Using my Devil Fruit abilities, I can put collars around the necks of any living creature and make them follow my commands! In other words…they become my pets! PETOTOTOTOTO!"

"So that's what it does?!" Luffy questioned.

"Not just that," Breed continued, "but the Pet-Pet Fruit brings out the full potential of the one I'm controlling, 100%! PETOTOTOTOTO! PETOTOTOTOTO! PE~TOTOTOTOTO~!"

TO BE CONTINUED…

FINALLY! At last I got this up. It has been a stressful week, I tell you. BUT tomorrow is Saturday, so I'm going to do a LOT of unwinding.

Review, please!
