CH 21: Marines Are So Stupid.
Cocos Island.
Doflamingo VS Bartholomew Kuma.
The battle between Doflamingo and Bartholomew Kuma spread to the whole town.
"Don't try to steal the fruit." Doflamingo used Devil Fruit's awakening ability to turn the ground into threads and entangling the Devil Fruit box tightly on the ground.
Doflamingo don't know whether Bartholomew Kuma teleportation will work on the box or not but he couldn't take the chance, once kuma touch the box the Devil Fruit will be gone.
Doflamingo kept fighting with kuma but with kuma's teleportation like speed it is quite troublesome for Doflamingo to attack, all he could do was kept dodging and think a plan to counter, if he kept dodging he is sure he will lost.
When the box was almost taken away by Bartholomew kuma, Doflamingo fear grew. "Bartholomew kuma, you bastard, Kaido want this Devil Fruit, are you sure you want to go against kaido.?"
The attack from Bartholomew Kuma did not decrease and he kept attacking. Doflamingo's face turn even uglier.
When the news about the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit 'Tori-Tori no Mi model Phantom Phoenix' reach New World, it attracted Kaido attention, and kaido want this Devil fruit, it would take time for kaido to came to cocos Island, so kaido called Doflamingo who was in Sabaody Archipelago auction house and ordered to bring this fruit and in return Doflamingo can ask anything from Kaido but if he failed, Doflamingo don't want to think what will kaido do if he failed this mission.
The battle between the two continues, they both are almost equally strong so there will be no winner in short peroid of time.
The rest of the pirates are not eligible to participate in this level of battle all they can do is hide far away from the battlefield.
Besides the pirates, there are other people on the island, such as the reporters.
In last ten day the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit 'Tori-Tori no Mi model Phantom Phoenix' has already become the focus of the sea, everyone want to know who will get the legendary fruit in the end.
...
"Quick take pictures, the final winner will be decided soon."
"Hurry up and send it back to headquarters."
Reporters from major newspapers desperately took pictures and send it to the news Agency Headquarters.
The latest news is constantly published in the newspapers.
...
"Boom!"
Armament Haki is entwined with threads that shoot from the sky and collided with extremely concentrated air cannons.
The island shakes, the collision destroyed everything.
Just as the battle is going on, a new ship arrive at the shore.
"He came finally."
Akainu and Tokikake, who were hiding in secret saw the Koch ship. Akainu, who had been suppressed for a long time, laughed happily.
His fists turn hot as he punch the house he was hiding for last ten days, as the house was destroyed, Akainu and Tokikake rushed out towards the 'New Dawn'. "Koch, since you are here, don't even think about leaving this island alive."
Just as they reached the ship their expressions changed drastically. They turn back and looked at the battlefield at the distance.
"Cunning bastard!" Akainu couldn't help but scream in frustration.
Koch left the ship early on and right now he was already on the battlefield.
...
On the battlefield.
Doflamingo and Bartholomew Kuma kept fighting, suddenly a large sword slash fell from the sky and landed between them, they both dodge the sword slash.
A figure fell from the sky and landed right infront of them.
"I want this Devil Fruit." Koch stared at the two of them.
"You are, Koch!"
Although it is the first time they saw Koch, they recognised his identity immediately.
"fu fu fu fu fu... here come another tough guy, instead of hiding from marines you came here to snatch the Devil Fruit, aren't you afraid of death?" Doflamingo stared at Koch with his iconic smile.
Bartholomew Kuma didn't spoke but there is surprise in his calm eyes.
...
"It is Koch!"
"Another big pirate is here."
The pirates all around looked at Koch with surprise in their face, after what Koch had done they thought he would lay low.
"I didn't expect him to come."
"I hope Koch will take the Devil Fruit, the stronger he is, the more headaches Marine gets."
"All three of them are well known pirates, this is going to be a good showdown."
The pirates were excited, they don't have any hope of getting Devil Fruit anyway so why not enjoy the show.
Although the pirates are excited, the more excited are the reporters.
In the sea right now the hottest character is Koch, and the hottest object it the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit and now both are together, reporters are going crazy. All the camera were aimed at Koch, taking picture like crazy.
"If you want this Devil Fruit, fame is not enough. It depends on whether you are eligible to get it." Doflamingo is arrogant as always.
Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the clone he made with String-String Fruit, the clone kept monitoring the box that was tied to the ground. Suddenly, Doflamingo's arrogant eyes froze.
Momousagi Gion suddenly rushed out of the ruins as her sharp edge sword wrapped in Armament Haki cut off the Doflamingo's clone and cut off the threads that wrapped around the box.
"You drew our attention on you and let her take the box, you sure are Cunning." Doflamingo turned green, he can't let this mission failed, he doesn't want face the warth of kaido.
"Koch! Accept justice!"
Akainu angry voice echoes across the island.
The air temperature rose rapidly and hot magma flowed through Akainu's body.
"Akainu the mad dog?" Doflamingo's face turned pale.
How can Marine Admiral be here, Marine headquarter is far from here and he cannot be here in just ten days. Bartholomew Kuma frowned slightly.
After some time, Doflamingo understood what was going on and start laughing.
"fu fu fu fu fu fu, so it turn out to be Marine's conspiracy, Marines are willing to take out such Devil Fruit just to catch Koch, are they not afraid of failure? What if they loose this Devil Fruit, marines are so stupid..."
