Chapter 41: Diamante and Involvement

Chapter 41: Diamante and Involvement

_________ POV Narration_________

News of Doflamingo being attacked by a marine was quickly delivered everywhere, as Viola did her best to bring out an army to fight against the Warlord's numerous forces.

Battles were occurring all over the city while Enel faced off against Pica and Doflamingo.

By the time Enel finished the two of them, the battles were still starting, so Enel was rather pleased with their response time.

It seemed like Viola had prepared for something like this already. The first thing she was planning to do was to make her way towards the arena, to look for her niece Rebecca and hopefully convince the gladiators to help her.

But as she was making her way there, every doll on the streets seemed to be turning back into humans as Enel had already finished off Sugar.

The second the dolls turned back into humans, the public started remembering what Doflmanigo had done, pirates and marines transformed from dolls to humans, and now they all started heading for the palace with one goal in mind. "KILL DOFLAMINGO!"

Doflamingo's forces now had their hands full, as Viola kept making her way towards the Arena.

As she reached the Arena, she surprisingly ran into Kyros who she now could finally remember, her brother-in-law. He was alive, missing a leg, but alive.

Their reunion was rather short-lived though, as Diamante, who had been in the arena and was going to start making his way towards the palace, attacked the two of them brutally.

Viola was almost cut in two, if not for Kyros, who pushed her out of the way quickly.

"Hahaha! Seeing you two royal rats struggle like that is so funny!" Diamante shouted as he figured he'd just enjoy himself in the end.

There was no way Doflamingo would lose after all... And even if Sugar was knocked out temporarily, everything would return to normal, they'd just have a lot more dolls than before.

Diamante licked his blade with a sadistic smile as he then swung it, making it flexible and using it like a whip to slash at Viola and Kyros.

The two of them both jumped to the side, Kyros was lamenting the fact that he had just turned into a human, he had his sword, but he was still slowly getting used to his movements, and Viola was trying to figure her way out of the situation.

"Kyros! To think I'd be fighting the 'former champion' of the arena in the flesh! Too bad you are pretty helpless right now!" Diamante was about to start talking more and more about his enemies, playing mind games.

What he failed to notice was a giant man that had just walked into the battlefield with a large bag on his back.

That tall man was missing an arm and a leg, his orange hair was weird, arranged into three curved sections, and he also had a short, spiky beard. It was none other than Charlotte Oven.

He had been collecting ingredients like Enel had asked him to before the animated puppets he saw everywhere all turned into humans, and the riot started.

He then saw signs of fighting everywhere in the city so he decide to check the nearest ones to him. He was rather curious, and he was confident that he would be able to deal with most enemies without any trouble.

Then, Oven did as his name implied, and melted the blade entirely using his devil fruit.

Diamante was shocked, letting go of the sword and tapping his hands on the ground, making it unsteady and wavy.

This only served to annoy Oven though, and it wasn't like he was alone. Kyros was also there, and he had a score to settle, as Diamante had been the one to kill his wife, Viola's sister.

The former gladiator dashed towards Diamante, unbothered by the fact that he was missing a leg.

That action alone made Oven somewhat respect him, as he was in a bit of a similar situation body-wise.

Diamante shrieked as he dodged a slash from Kryos, only to be hit by Oven's fist directly and crushed into the ground.

Oven didn't let go of him though, clutching him tightly with his Haki-clad hand and raising him up. Diamante tried to break out of Oven's hand, but was ultimately unable, as Oven's grip was too tight to slip out of.

Oven was about to crush Diamante, but Kyros tapped him on the back, which made him stop for a moment.

"What?" The Yonko Pirate said as he turned his head and looked the much shorter man in the eye.

"... I want to be the one to finish him off," Kyros said with his eyes narrowed, looking at Oven without any fear.

Oven looked a bit at the gladiator, then at Viola who seemed a bit stressed by the whole situation. In the end, he sighed as he dropped Diamante on the ground, finally letting the Elite Officer of the Donqiote Pirates take a breath of fresh air.

"Whatever. Do what you want." Oven said as he walked off to the side, not really caring to get involved any further.

He had only gotten involved because he realised that Viola was likely Enel's associate, beyond that, he didn't care about Doflamingo's crew or anything that was happening in Dressrosa.

"Thank you for the help," Kyros said as he then stabbed his blade into Diamante without any hesitation.

Viola heaved a sigh of relief and continued running into the arena to speak to her niece. Running past Oven and only giving the giant man a look of appreciation.

Oven continued to walk the streets unbothered by whatever was happening in the kingdom of Dressrosa.
