Chapter 283 : Diversion

The Thousand Sunny sailed away as the crew still on edge after their narrow escape from Fujitora and Doflamingo.

Just when they thought that they are out of trouble waters, something else happened.

A cannonball hit very close to Sunny.

"It's a ship from Big Mom's crew!" Nami shouted, her voice filled with urgency.

The rest of the crew sprang into action, each preparing for a potential battle.

Law, still recovering from the earlier fight, stood at the helm with Kirito.

"We can't afford to fight them," Nami said, her tone frantic. "If we attack, Big Mom will come after us herself. We have already offended an emperor enough, we can't afford to make another one mad at us."

Kirito nodded in agreement, his face serious.

He wasn't afraid of fighting an emperor but why call for trouble when one can just avoid it? 

He wasn't here to piss all the big shots he can get his hands onto.

"We need a plan. We can't leave the Sunny unprotected, but we also can't engage them directly."

Sanji proposed an idea. "What if we distract them? Lead them away from the Sunny while the others head to the next island?"

"And leave behind others, Luffy, Franky, Robin and others, what about them ?" Chopper asked.

But others didn't care, they didn't worry about those heavy hitters, they can find their way back to them.

Law nodded. "Kirito and I can stay behind. We'll handle the delay that Big Mom Pirate Ship and meet up with you all on the next island after defeating Doflamingo."

Nami looked worried but nodded. "That could work. The next island is Zou."

"Well if not anything then I can teleport everyone to you. Just keep this on you." Kirito said as he gave back the Kunai he originally gave to Nami." 

"Thanks"

The crew quickly set their plan into motion. Nami steered Sunny towards the next island, her hands steady on the wheel despite the anxiety gnawing at her.

Chopper and Brook stood guard, ready to defend if necessary. Sanji prepared a small boat for Law and Kirito, who would stay behind to distract the enemy.

Well, that mostly was unimportant. Both could teleport after all.

As the Big Mom ship drew closer, Kirito and Law leapt into their boat, rowing swiftly towards the approaching threat.

The Sunny veered off in the opposite direction, its sails catching the wind as it sped away.

"Here they come," Law muttered, his eyes fixed on the massive ship looming ahead.

Kirito gripped his sword, honestly he started to like the sword at this point, 'wonder whether Zoro will give this to me'.

"Stay sharp. We just need to buy them enough time." Law commented on the side which Kirito just wave his hand to dismiss.

"Who are you?" a booming voice demanded from the deck of the Big Mom ship. "State your business!"

Law stood tall, his voice calm and clear. "We're here to negotiate."

The pirate sneered. "Negotiate? With us?"

Kirito stepped forward, his Haki radiating a powerful aura. "Yes. Let's talk."

Kirito said as he smiled and took out Shisui and slashed through the air with lightning speed, while Law's Room's ability disoriented their enemies, causing chaos and confusion.

Back on the Sunny, Nami glanced over her shoulder, worry etched across her face. "I hope they're okay."

"You kidding me, didn't you see what Kirito did to that ship? If you have to worry about anyone then worry about Luffy." Brook said. "YO hohohohoho".

Sanji too added after taking a smoke in. "They'll be fine. Kirito and Law are strong. We need to focus on getting to the next island safely."

Momonosuke, watching the scene unfold, clenched his fists. "Kirito san is a Shinobi. There is no way that he can be defeated this easily."

The Sunny sailed on while Kirito and Law continued to fend off the Big Mom Pirates it was much easier than they even expected it. No one particularly strong was in the boat of Big Mom Pirate.

As the battle raged on, it became clear that Kirito and Law were buying Sunny time it needed. The Big Mom pirates, frustrated by the unexpected resistance, found themselves unable to pursue the escaping ship.

But ultimately they couldn't do anything.

Later both Kirito and Law went back to Dressrosa city.

"So, you do what you want and I will gather information from my own end. Go find Luffy and rest of the Straw Hats and I will by then take care of those underlings of Doflamingo who might cause trouble for us later on." Kirito said and even before he get a reply, Kirito teleported away, not even letting him say anything. 

Sigh.
