Chapter 225: All together again
Franky's (Tashigi) expression fell to the bundle in her arms.
"I'm sorry…"
"No…it can't be!" Gion hurried to her side and removed the jacket covering his face.
"No…Sebas…"
Franky(Tashigi) saw the expression of Gion change several times, from sadness to anger.
"Who did this?"
"This guy" Law came out of the door while carrying a large bundle over his shoulders like a sack of potatoes.
Gion looked at the large coat and thought that it looked very familiar.
"What's this supposed to be?"
Instead of answering, he opened the coat, revealing all the pieces of Vergo.
Gion squinted her eyes and tried to make sense of what she was seeing.
There were a lot of pieces of flesh inside but there was no blood or any sign of them being cut by a blade.
She was familiar enough with Law's abilities to know how this came to be and she could still feel that person's aura so she knew it was still alive.
'Wait, this aura…and that long white coat!'
She then found some of the pieces that belonged to the head and was able to confirm her suspicion.
"This is Vice-admiral Vergo!" Her furious eyes went straight for Law.
"You better have a good explanation for this!"
"Wait, Gion!. Is not what you think." Franky(Tashigi) moved in front of Law.
"Vice-Admiral Vergo turned out to be a traitor! He claims to have been working for Joker. Vergo is the one that killed Captain Sebastian and would have killed me too if Trafalgar Law had not defeated him first."
"Joker you say?!" It did not take her long to put the pieces together as she already had many suspicions about the real identity of the underground criminal.
"Doflamingo…"
While this was happening. Chopper(Sanji), who was still carrying Tashigi(Vivi) bride style, went to meet with Robin and Brook.
"Robin my love, are you okay?!" Exclaimed Chopper(Sanji).
"I'm not injured… can't say the same about you." Robin looked at the state of Tashigi(Vivi).
"It seems like you had it rough. I assume you were involved in that explosion from before."
"We are fine too, by the way!" Buggy shouted.
"You can let me down, I can walk." Complained Tashigi(Vivi).
Sanji had found them shortly after the explosion took place.
When he saw the state that she was in, he insisted on carrying her and would not take a no for an answer.
"Your leg is hurt, I will let you down when we find the doctor." Said Chopper(Sanji).
"Is a bit strange hearing you say that." Commented Brook.
"Where are Luffy and the others?" Asked Tashigi(Vivi).
She looked around and only saw the unconscious body of Caesar.
"The Captain was injured by that man" Robin pointed at Caesar.
"Franky took him to the camp, where the others had remained to take care of the children."
"Luffy got hurt by that guy?, is it serious?." Tashigi(Vivi) asked with worry.
"Who is that guy and why were you fighting him?" Chopper (Sanji) looked at the unconscious man but could not recognize him.
"Our Captain made an alliance deal with Trafalgar Law. Part of the agreement was to help him capture that man. His name is Caesar and he is the leader of this island and the one everyone calls, Master." Explained Robin.
"That guy was truly dangerous, he could turn his body into some poisonous gas." Added Buggy.
"So, Luffy was defeated by poison? he is not going to be happy with that one…"Commented Zoro.
Both Vivi and Sanjo looked at him with shock.
"Zoro?!"
"Mosshead?!"
"Oh my God, I didn't even notice you. I honestly did not expect to see you back for at least a few days" Said Vivi.
"I was kinda hoping you didn't come back at all," added Sanji.
"Oi!" Zoro frowned.
"For your information, I made it all the way here on my own and with no issues."
"Didn't that lady that brought you here say that you got lost eight times?" Asked Brook.
"Shut up!" Shouted Zoro.
"Lady?" Chopper(Sanji) then spotted an attractive young girl with aviator glasses and a red maid outfit.
"Who is that?!"
"Oh, the Strawhats are all here?, That's good." They all turned to see the marine Vice-Admiral approaching with Franky(Tashigi) and Law right behind her.
"Now that they are here, do you mind returning Captain Tashigi her body? We have much to do…" Gion gave Tashigi(Vivi) a glance.
"There are still some people missing. It would be better to wait until everyone who got mind swapped was together in the same place, that would make the transition smoother." Law recommended.
"Right….where are the rest? Can one of you go fetch them?" Gion said while glancing at the Strawhats.
"Well…Franky went to carry the Captain to the camp. They are probably waiting for us to return so they won't be coming here." said Robin.
"Leave it to me then, I can get there in a few minutes. " Offered Brook.
"That won't be necessary." Buggy pointed out at the distance.
"Aren't those the giant children?"
The group was running quickly towards them.
As they got closer, they were able to recognize them.
All of the children were there.
Sanji(Franky) was still carrying Luffy, who seemed to be sleeping more peacefully.
And on the front were Nami(Chopper) and Usopp.
"Why are they coming here? This makes no sense." Wondered Chopper(Sanji).
"Something happened… look at their faces." Zoro pointed out.
The children looked very scared while Usopp and Sanji(Franky) had many cuts all over their bodies.
She then noticed something else.
"Where is my body, where is Nami!?"
