Dressrosa I

Viper was in the lab, working on Nami's Nimbus. He had managed to integrate the old one into the Wapometal and pop green composite. He held the new Nimbus on his hands as he stretched it and reverted it back. It had a white and orange handle in the middle, and the extensions that grew were orange as well. At the tips were clouds flowing slowly, Viper coated the whole weapon in Haki and watched as it turned black, he extended it and as it extended the rest that came out was black too. He nodded in satisfaction before walking back out to the deck, after putting Cane in sleep mode.

Viper walked on to the deck and Law looked at him and said "We're at the Green bit. Me, Long-nose-ya, and Nico Robin are going to take Caesar to the trade destination. Orange, the skeleton, Tanuuki-ya, and Momonosuke are going to Zou to meet up with my crew, and the rest of you are the factory destroying team." Viper chuckled and said "Yes sir!" as he did a fake salute. Law chuckled and Viper threw the retracted baton at Nami.

Nami caught it and said "What's this?" Viper rolled his eyes and said "A sex toy. What do you think it is? You wanted a new Nimbus and I made a new Nimbus." Nami blushed and said "Why does it look like this?" Viper rubbed his forehead and snapped "What are you thinking woman!? Squeeze the middle." she did and the staff shot out from the white and orange striped handle, Viper said "Compact, and fashionable! New Nimbus can do anything old Nimbus can do, but better! He's faster, stronger, and more resilient. I added ALL the weatheria tech, the clouds form 300% faster and are even more powerful than the old ones! Do you have Armament?"

Nami shook her head, Viper said "You should probably try and awaken it while your waiting for us on Zou." he grabbed Nimbus from her and said "Then you can do this!" the whole staff turned black and he swung it at Zoro, who blocked and slashed back but Nimbus blocked the blade. Viper said "Ta-da! It won't collapse any more! Also there's something else! Cloud armor!" out of the tips of Nimbus clouds flowed out and covered Viper.

Viper turned all the clouds black and developed black cloud armor, he said "It's really for your protection either way, but I guess you have the iron clouds for now. Dissipate." the clouds receded and Viper handed Nimbus back to Nami. She grabbed it and hugged him "Thanks Viper I love it!" Viper chuckled and patted her back "That's great. Also you should be careful with him now. He's extremely strong, the storms you can create.. Let's just say even I wouldn't want to be in the middle of one." Nami nodded and ran away to try it out.

Caesar said "Is that the Logia weapon?" Viper nodded and said "Main problem is the intangibility when blocking attacks. I only came up with a special Iron cloud from the sky islands and Haki, although the weapon will protect the wielder with extra cloud." Caesar was stunned and said "That's amazing! Really a shame you stopped." Viper smiled and said "Actually, if I didn't I would've probably already succeeded and would've currently been chained up in a World Government lab acting like a factory producing weapon after weapon until they kill me for not being useful anymore." The crew minus Robin and Caesar were mortified, Caesar laughed and said "Probably Shulololololololo" Robin just giggled.

A while later

Kin'emon, Franky, Zoro, Luffy, Viper, and Sanji were watching down the streets and noticed some of the people were toys. Franky said "Don't we need disguises?" Kin'emon said "Don't worry!" he put a random item on the group's heads and transformed them into clothes. Viper looked at himself and said "Suits and beards?" Kin'emon said "I'm a genius right?" Viper chuckled and said "Whatever you say." as they walked into a bar.

The group were sitting in the bar near a blind man playing roulette. Viper walked up and sat down at the roulette table next to the blind man. He took out some money and got some chips, h eplaced his bet and left a chip on the blind man's stack. The roulette wheel spun and landed on the blind man's number, Viper smiled and took his chips, the blind man got his chips too and they placed another bet. This time Viper didn't place a bet with the blind man's and the crew walked over.

Franky said "What are you doing?" Viper said "Just playing a little bit, why?" Zoro snapped "Because we have other things to do right now!" Viper chuckled and the roulette wheel stopped, on the blind man's number.

The man at the table said "Sorry you lost." Luffy said "No he didn't. It says 16, and his number is 16." The man at the table snapped "No it doesn't!" the blind man said "Did I really win?" Luffy nodded and said "Yup." the blind man said "Thank you. I don't know who you are but thank you for your kindness." Luffy said "Don't worry old man, I just said what I saw." the man at the table and some of the other workers pulled out swords and said "If I say he lost. It means he lost!" all of a sudden they were all crushed by an invisible force.

Viper sighed and turned to the group and said "Eh? Where did Grass, Yellow, and Fox man go?" Franky said "Grass went to chase after a thief and the other two chased after him." Viper sighed again and said "Grab those guys and question them, they might have something we need." Franky nodded and grabbed the workers. Viper turned to the blind man and said "You're a pretty lucky guy, old man." the blind man smiled and said "It's only thanks to your friend I even knew I won." Luffy grinned and Viper said "Yeah, i'm sure it was. See you around, old man. By the way, my name is Viper, nice to meet you." as he and Luffy walked away towards Franky.

The blind man looked in their direction and was silent before saying "Issho. Nice to meet you, Snake King." Viper paused and laughed as he said "I hope you're one of the good ones." and the duo disappeared out the door. Issho watched the door for a long time before he mumbled "I hope so too."

Luffy and Viper appeared in the alley where Franky was and Luffy said "You know that old man?" Viper shook his head and said "No, but i'm sure he's a marine. I don't know what rank he is though, I can tell you one thing he knew who we were the moment we walked inside, he might be blind but he can definitely see. You know what I mean?" Luffy nodded and said "He felt like a good guy though." Viper frowned and said "I know, I felt that too. I think we should be careful just in case." Luffy nodded and the duo walked towards Franky.

Franky said "They didn't have any information on the factory." Viper walked up and said "Listen to me, very carefully. I want you to tell me what abilities your superior has." the man was quiet, Viper broke his arm and said "You only have so many limbs. I suggest you answer."

The man said "He has the ton-ton fruit! He can change how heavy his body is!" Viper said "What's his name." The man said "Machvise." Viper said "Who would know about the Factory and where are they?" the man said "Most of the higher ups and our boss is going to be at the Colosseum today!" Viper nodded and said "Let's go to the Colosseum." the other two nodded and the man on the ground said "There's going to be a lot of people there, the final prize is the flame-flame fruit." Luffy and Viper grabbed the man and said "The what?!" the man said "Flame-Flame fruit!" they looked at each other and nodded before getting on Franky and speeding off to the Colosseum.

Luffy and Viper walked into the Colosseum and Franky went off to get more clues. Luffy entered as Lucy and Viper entered as Reaper. Viper was admitted to A block, he walked into the dressing room and watched as Luffy put on a bunch of armor and a cape. Viper laughed and said "Maybe too much armor?" Luffy chuckled and gave Viper a mask he found, it was a half mask with a skull design on it. Viper put the mask on and said "How do I look?" Luffy gave him a big thumbs up and group A was called on to the stage. Viper said "Wish me luck. Hahaha" as he walked towards the stage.

Viper reached the stage and saw a bunch of people. The announcer said "A block battle start!" there was a loud boom and all the people except Viper and another man with a bag on his head were left. The announcer was shocked and said "There are only two left! And the battle has just started!"

Viper said "A little boring to just take them all out at once no?" the man said "Doesn't matter they weren't strong enough to be the Champion anyway!" as he took off the bag on his head. Viper sat his face and seethed "Burgess!" Burgess laughed and said "I will win!" Viper snapped "NO. YOU'RE GOING TO DIE TODAY!" and he shot forward as his hand glowed white, he punched Burgess in the stomach, cracking the air and causing Burgess to cough out blood and go flying across the stage.

Viper grit his teeth and soru'd behind him and punched him in the back, smashing him into the stage, shattering the ground. The audience cheered at the violence, Viper looked up at the announcer and said "Is killing against the rules?" the announcer said "I don't believe so." Viper cracked his knuckles and said "Excellent." he jumped into the air and shot towards Burgess' head with his fist.

"Quake Hammer!"

Burgess quickly rolled out of the way and ran across the stage, Viper smashed his fist into the stage and the whole Colosseum shook as the stage cracked and shattered completely. Viper turned to Burgess and said "Why are you running now? Weren't you strong?!" he shot towards Burgess again, who punched at Viper's head. Viper ducked and his hand was completely back with a white light covering it as he uppercut Burgess into the air. Viper jumped into the air above him and interlocked his fingers before smashing them both into Burgess' stomach, causing him to spit up blood and fly towards the destroyed stage. Viper chased after him in the air and flipped before driving his foot into him, making him shoot down to the ground even faster.

Burgess smashed into the ground and coughed up more blood, Viper landed and slowly walked towards him. Burgess was still breathing on the ground and Viper was right in front of him he looked up and Viper smiled and said "Any last words? There's a crowd waiting to hear you! Look around." Viper spread out his hands and Burgess looked around at the silent crowd.

Viper said "I will kill you and then continue until I kill every one of your crew. I will make Teach beg for his life and kneel at the old man's grave before I kill him." Burgess laughed in his face and said "You?! Don't make me laugh! You can't kill my captain! You're going to die just like that pathetic old man!" Viper seethed and punched him in the face and snapped "You think you have the right to talk about him!" he kept punching his face Burgess yelled "You couldn't save the old man and you couldn't save Ace! You're weak and useless! Wiihahahahaha!"

Viper screamed "SHUT UP!!" He kept punching him in the face his fists both glowing white. The Colosseum was silent, the announcer stuttered and said "R-Reaper wins!" but Viper didn't stop, he wouldn't until Burgess wasn't breathing anymore. A man in a hat with goggles appeared behind Viper and grabbed him before disappearing and saying "He'll be right back." the announcer nodded and got someone to fix the stage and get all the people to an infirmary, they took Burgess too.

The man with the hat and goggles threw Viper into a wall and said "Calm down!" Viper smashed into the wall and sat up from the ground saying "Who are you? Why did you stop me?" The man smiled and said "My name is Sabo, i'm Luffy and Ace's brother." Viper narrowed his eyes and said "Funny, he never mentioned you." Sabo sighed and said "If you had a brother, who you thought was dead would you mention him to others?"

Viper said "No, when did you die? I assume a long time ago." Sabo said "When we were kids, I lost my memory and only got it back after Ace died." Viper sighed and said "That's inconvenient, I lost all my memories about a month before I met Luffy." Sabo chuckled and sat down in front of him and said "Doesn't feel too good does it?" Viper chuckled "Nope. Anyways I guess there's a reason you stopped me from killing Burgess?"

Sabo got serious and said "Blackbeard would've chased after you, and the rest of Luffy's crew. I assume you don't want an emperor actively chasing after you. Plus there's something I need to ask him." Viper said "What is it?" Sabo said "I got reports from spies that Blackbeard is able to steal devil fruits from other people without having the fruit transfer to another fruit, also... I heard he has two devil fruits now from a slightly unreliable source."

Viper's eyes opened wide and he muttered "So that's why.." Sabo was confused and asked "What?" Viper said seriously "I was training with the rest of the old man's crew for our two year break and Teach saw that I had the old man's fruit and said 'No wonder I couldn't steal it'. I guess he found another one he liked." Sabo was serious and said "If he has the ability maybe Burgess knows about it." Viper said "So why are you here, I assume you didn't know Burgess would be here." Sabo said "I heard that Doflamingo got his hands on Ace's fruit so I came to get it."

Viper smiled and got up as he said "Goodluck, Luffy wants it too." Sabo chuckled and said "I know." Viper shook his head and chuckled as he walked towards the door, Sabo suddenly said "Don't let Luffy know I'm here, I want to tell him myself." Viper nodded and Sabo added "Also.. Thank you for trying to save Ace, and protecting Luffy. I appreciate it." Viper stopped in the door frame and said "Luffy's my captain, even if I have to die, I will protect him." and walked away. Sabo watched him go and smiled to himself.

Viper walked back to the dressing room and sat down next to Luffy "When is your fight?" Luffy crossed his arms and said "I don't know. I'm tired of waiting though." Viper laughed and told him about Burgess and that he heard Teach somehow has two devil fruits as well. Luffy said "What happened to the guy from the fight?" Viper sighed and said "He's probably in the infirmary right now. I made a deal with someone not to kill him." Luffy nodded and said "Don't worry, we'll get Teach. I promise." Viper smiled and chuckled and the announcer called the start to Luffy's group. Luffy got up and said "Finally!" Viper held out his fist and said "Good luck." Luffy grinned and touched his fist with his own and said "Shishihsishishishi Thanks!" as he went to the stage, Viper watched him go as three people showed up in front of him.

The first person was a girl with pink hair, she said "Are you Lucy's friend?" Viper chuckled and said "You can say that, I like to think of myself as a brother though." the man with the green mohawk said "You're Luf-Lucy's brother?!" and the man with a big hat said "I'm going to beat you." Viper was a bit overwhelmed and said "First of all who are you all?" the man with the green mohawk said "Bartolomeo." the girl with the pink hair said "Rebecca." and the man with the hat said "Cavendish."

Viper said "Nice to meet you my name is Viper. I was 'Reaper' for the tournament, the big bad guy who tried to kill the other contestant." he grinned at them. Bartolomeo's eyes opened wide and he said "Viper-Senpai!" Cavendish said "Another one?" Rebecca was confused by their reactions but said "Nice to meet you Viper, do you want to watch Lucy's fight with me?" Viper smiled and said "Sure." Bartolomeo and Cavendish said "Me too!" before glaring at each other. They walked out of the dressing room and towards the viewing area.

Viper said to Rebecca "Why are there so many toys here?" Rebecca said "I don't know. They just showed up." Viper frowned and said "Just like that? Can you tell me more about them?" Rebecca went on telling Viper all about the toys and said "Toys who display human qualities have a disease called Human illness and are sent to be fixed." Viper stopped her, putting a finger on her lips and said "Are you telling me these toys just showed up and sometimes talk about being a human?" Bartolomeo and Cavendish looked at Rebecca like she was an idiot. Viper said "Do you know who Doflamingo is?" Rebecca grit her teeth and nodded, Viper noticed her grinding her teeth and said "Do you know anything about his crew?" she shook her head and Viper said "Are the people here really THAT stupid?" Bartolomeo and Cavendish chuckled and Rebecca frowned "What does that mean?"

Viper said "Toys randomly show up and say that they were humans and you just think they have an illness? I assume you know what a devil fruit is?" She nodded and Viper said "Where do you think all the toys come from?" she widened her eyes and Viper flicked her forehead and said "Use your brain sometimes. Although it is concerning how nobody remembers whoever gets turned into toys. Whoever is doing that is extremely dangerous..." A loud shout was heard "Rebecca!" the group turned around and saw a toy soldier with one leg.

Rebecca ran to the edge and said "Soldier! I'll win the tournament and we can live together!" Viper walked over and looked at the toy and said "Tell me your name, your real name." the toy soldier stared at Viper and said "Who are you?" Viper said "Don't worry about that. I want to know who you were before you got turned into a toy." the toy soldier was shocked and was silent before saying "Kyros" Viper nodded and said "Franky, one of Doflamingo's crew can turn people into toys and make all memories of that person disappear. Tell the rest and be extremely careful." he took out a marker and wrote on his hand, he held it up and said "We have 9 people with us, write it down on your hand and remember that you'll lose your memory of the person. Relay the message to the rest, i'll tell Luf-Lucy." Franky nodded and left with the toy soldier.

Viper turned to Rebecca and said "You have a connection with that toy?" as they walked back to watch the rest of the fight. Viper saw Luffy beat a giant with a single punch and Rebecca said "I lived with my mother and we had to hide, she was killed and he brought her to me and stayed with me since I was a child." Viper sighed and said "Do you remember your father?" Rebecca said "I didn't have one." Viper rolled his eyes and said "Where did you come from? You think you were just born?" Rebecca frowned and said "What are you trying to say?" Viper said "The toy soldier was probably your father, why else would he stay with you? Honestly..." he turned his attention back to the fight and said "He's doing pretty good!"

Bartolomeo was on his knees in reverence and said "Viper-senpai, who's stronger between you two?" Viper laughed and said "He is, last time we fought he won. I was out for 3 days. Hahhahaha" Cavendish said "What did he use any weaknesses?" Viper gave him a look and said "I can decimate you. You don't stand a chance pretty boy." Cavendish grit his teeth and Bartolomeo cheered. Rebecca was still stuck in her memories stunned. Bartolomeo said "Can you give me a name too?!" Viper looked at him and said "I guess. I'll call you Rooster." Bartolomeo fainted with joy and Viper laughed so hard he cried, before turning back to the fight still chuckling a little.

Viper watched as Luffy punched a giant man so hard the man's head turned into a point and shattered the arena. The announcer said "Lucy wins!!" Luffy threw his hands in the air and laughed before going back to find Viper, the giant man with a pointed head bowed to Luffy and said "Thank you for restoring my head." his head broke the ground and Luffy ran away. Viper chuckled and turned around noticing Rebecca was missing. Cavendish said "I'll see you guys later, i'm next. Watch me fight, beautifully!" as he walked off.

Viper and Bartolomeo watched him go and Bartolomeo said "I don't like that guy." Viper chuckled and said "He's a pretty boy forsure." as they walked off to find Luffy. They passed by the outside view of the Colosseum and heard a voice "Oi, Rainbow-hair!" Viper sighed and turned as he said "What do you want mosshead?" Zoro snapped "What did you just say?!" Viper grabbed the bars and said "You heard me you one eyed blender bastard!" Zoro took a deep breath and said "Where's Luffy?" Viper said "I was just going to find him, why?" Zoro said "I need to see him, go get him for me."

Viper scoffed "Do I look like your errand boy?" Zoro grit his teeth and Bartolomeo spoke up "I'll go get him." as he looked away covering his face with his hands so he wouldn't faint. Zoro said "Who's that?" Viper said "Rooster. He's a big fanboy." he turned to Bartolomeo and said "That would be great. Thanks Rooster." Bartolomeo nodded and ran away.

Viper laughed and said "That guy is hilarious! I gave him a nickname before and he fainted! Hahahaha" Zoro shook his head and Viper said "By the way did you see Franky?" Zoro shook his head again and Viper said "Draw a '9' on both of your hands. There's someone on Doflmaingo's crew who can turn people into toys, and erase all memories of that person. If one of us get's turned into a toy we won't remember them." Zoro and Kin'emon nodded and Zoro said "Do you know who?" Viper shook his head and said "I don't but we found out another of the 7's names. Machvise, has the ton-ton fruit. Remember Ms. Valentine? Her but instead of Kilos it's Tons." Zoro nodded and said "Anything else?" Viper said "Me and Luffy are going to be here because the prize is Ace's devil fruit, I assume Doflamingo planned all this knowing Luffy would come here. Keep an eye out, we could already be being watched by his subordinates."

Zoro nodded and Luffy with Bartolomeo showed up. Zoro pulled out a snail and called the rest of the crew. The call connected and Franky started talking about the dwarves' plan to take down Doflamingo he finished "I won't let them go after him alone." the crew all agreed and Viper said everything he knew and added "I want everyone to be extremely careful and draw the '9' on your hands." the crew complied.

All of a sudden a big bang was heard, the group saw Doflamingo standing above Law, who was on the ground. Zoro and Kin'emon charged at Doflamingo but were stopped by Issho, who created a hole with his powers causing Zoro and Kin'emon to fall in. Doflamingo looked at the trio before cackling and flying away with Law and Issho towards the Palace. Viper and Luffy watched him go and Zoro and Kin'emon got back up and joined Luff and Viper as they called the crew again. Viper said "Sunny team how are you?" Sanji said "I'm turning the ship around to come back and help, but we got company a Big mom ship is after us."

The group was quiet and Caesar said "They're probably coming after me, because I owe them money." Viper sneered "Yeah, definitely not because you're a genius scientist and Big mom would love to lock you up to do experiments for her. Or did we also interrupt her experiments as well." Caesar was silent and Viper laughed "You juggled 2 emperors at once?! I have to say, very smart move. If one of them turned on you the other had your back, neither of them would know either." Caesar was still silent, and Sanji said "Well, now we have both of them coming after us so what do I do captain?" Luffy said "Fire back at Big mom's ship." Viper turned to Luffy and said "I don't think we need them here to deal with Doflamingo do we?" Zoro grinned and Luffy said "Go to Zou. We'll kick Flamingo-guy's ass and meet you there." Sanji exhaled and said "Yes Captain."

Viper cackled and licked his lips and said "So exciting! I can't wait!" the rest of the crew chuckled and Zoro said "You two find a way out. We'll go save Law." Viper nodded and said to the snail "Me, Luffy, and Zoro are heading after Doflamingo. The rest of you find and destroy the smile factory, also if you find the one making all the toys knock her out and free all the toys." Luffy grinned and Viper said "Were gonna turn this place to chaos! Kehahahaha" the crew all said "He's back!" and hung up.

Viper laughed and Luffy said "Let's get out of here." Viper nodded and Bartolomeo followed them while they ran. The group was stopped by Bellamy, who said "I came to assassinate you, Straw Hat!" only to be stopped by a guy wearing high heels and a hat with horns on it. Bellamy said "Dellinger! What are you doing here?" Dellinger said "Doflamingo thought you would lose again and sent me here to kill you." as he charged at Bellamy only to be blocked by Bartolomeo's Barrier. Viper hybrid transformed and flew at Dellinger, grabbing his neck and saying "Are you one of the pink bird's 7 officers?" Dellinger said "Who are you?" Viper tightened his grip and said "Listen to me, you're not in any position to be asking any questions. Answer and I'll let you go, don't and well... let's just say drinking food out of a straw for the rest of your life will be the least of your problems."

Dellinger shivered and said "What do you want!" Viper said "Tell me who is the one who turns people into toys!" Dellinger was silent and Viper sighed "Your sacrifice makes no difference, goodbye." as he slowly tightened his grip. Dellinger, finally fearing for his life screamed "SUGAR! She's the one!" Viper relaxed his hand and said "What does she look like and where is she?" Dellinger said "She looks like a kid, she has blueish-green hair and she wears an eye-patch with a eye-glass lens on it." Viper smiled and said "That wasn't so hard was it?" as he punched him in the face, knocking him out and throwing him through a wall.

Viper turned around and said "We have a name and appearance for toy maker." Luffy nodded and said to Bartolomeo "Hey you Rooster guy! Get the Flame fruit for me!" Bartolomeo nodded and said "Of course, Luffy-senpai!" Viper chuckled and another voice sounded out "Neither of you are getting it." Viper laughed and said "You certainly have good dramatic timing." Sabo chuckled and said "Hey Luffy, it's been a long time."
