Chapter 226: The missing member
"We finally find you!" Usopp was huffing and puffing like he had been through hell.
"You are wounded…who attacked you?" Zoro looked serious.
"He didn't introduce himself. He said to be looking for someone named Caesar and believed that we had him." answered.
"That's not the important part, he took Vivi!, I mean Nami." Said Nami(Chopper).
"What?!" Shouted Tashigi(Vivi).
"He took my Nami?!, Who is this guy and where is he?" Chopper(Sanji) screamed with anger.
"What did this man look like?" Law got closer to the group and asked with urgency.
"He was a very flamboyant blonde guy with sunglasses and some pink jacket." Usopp tried to describe.
"That's Doflamingo!" Exclaimed Gion.
"The shichibukai?, Why would he attack us?" Robin said.
"Before he left, I think he said something like, we took something from him so he would do the same." Recalled Sanki(Franky)
"That bastard must have known…" Muttered Gion.
Tashigi(Vivi) jumped out of Chopper's arms and grabbed Law by his shirt.
"Law!, Put me back in my body and bring Nami back, hurry!"
"Put you back?, but I don't know where your body is. If Doflamingo has already left the island, it would-"
"I don't care!" She took the knife and placed it on his neck.
"Bring Nami back or I'll find another way to cancel your ability!" She roared at him.
Law felt intimidated for a moment and was taken aback by the mix of rage and determination.
"Fine…"
She let him go and allowed him to do his thing.
Law gave a wary smile.
"Women can truly be scary."
He raised his hand in the air.
"Shambles!"
Vivi felt her consciousness slip away and everything went dark.
Tashigi's body fell down but was caught by Gion before it could make contact.
"Tashigi?" Asked Gion while looking at the girl.
"Ugg…everything hurts." Tashigi looked down on herself.
"I'm back!"
Gion smiled.
"Welcome back."
"What about the rest of you?" Zoro looked at his crewmates.
"I'm back!" Cried Sanji with happiness.
"I missed this so much!" Chopper transformed and looked at his hoofs.
"My beautiful metallic bo-...how am I so low in cola already?" Franky checked himself up.
Robin helped Nami up.
"Nami?"
"Uff…my head hurts…ohh!" Nami jumped up and looked at her surroundings with haste.
"What…where did the pink guy go? I thought…" Nami held her head in pain.
"It worked then, you are Nami…Vivi.would be pleased then." Said Robin.
"Vivi?, what are you…" Nami gasped when she saw a strand of orange hair pass by her eyes.
"I'm in my body!"
"You are back in your own body, and you are safe now." Robin held her to make sure she didn't fall.
"That's great…but wait! where is Vivi then?" Nami looked around, trying to find her but to avail.
"If you are back in your body, that means she also made it back to hers." It was Law the one who answered her.
"Does that mean…"
"Yes, that pink guy…Doflamingo has her now." Said Usopp, feeling somewhat guilty they could not do more to save her.
"We have to find her then!, What are you all waiting for??" Nami screamed.
"Nami, we don't know where he went. How are we supposed to-"
Before Franky could finish his sentence, a den-den-mushi started ringing.
Law opened his coat and took out a small snail.
"Is him…" He said ominously before answering the call.
"Good afternoon Law. You have been a very disloyal pawn, haven't you?" The voice of Dofflamingo was heard.
"That's him, that's the voice of the guy!" Usopp pointed at the snail.
"Give us Vivi back!" Shouted Nami.
"If you lay a finger on her, I'm going to kill you," Sanji spoke in a cold voice.
"The Strawhats I presume…That's good then, it saves me time. You don't have to worry about your crewmate. I know how to treat a princess, hahaha!"
"You bastard!" In a fit of rage, Sanji was about to kick the snail when Zoro stopped him.
"Stupid cook, killing the den-den-mushi will accomplish nothing. "
"I assume that you didn't just call to provoke the Strawhats." Said Law.
"Of course not." Dofflamingo sounded almost offended.
"You have a very important associate of mine in your possession. I want you to bring me Caesar back. Then you can have your princess in exchange."
"W-wait, young Master!, what about us?!" Cried Buffalo.
"Is that Buffalo?, Did you get captured too?..." Dofflamingo seemed to be muttering something.
"I'm here too," Baby5 spoke.
"But I found someone who needs me here so I won't be coming back for a while."
"Straw hats!, Bring me Caesar and those two idiots to Desrossa and you can have your friend back. If you try to do anything, you will get her back in pieces. I will send you the details later on."
The communication was cut before anyone could talk.
"Damn it!" Shouted Sanji.
They then heard steps coming out of the laboratory and everyone turned to look.
"Oh, you are all here already, that's great, look!" The samurai Kinemon walked to them with a child at his side.
"I found my son!... Momonosuke, say hi to the Strawhats."
The child bowed politely.
Kinemon noticed the gloomy atmosphere and looked confused.
"Did something happen?"
