Recap:

"Wind!" she flew up to the top.

"I wonder if it's time I use that element more? The last time I used it.. Doflamingo captured me still." she thought before a smirk grew wide on her face. "But it did greatly affect him. Anything to defeat Doflamingo..."

"Gomu Gomu no Rocket!" she heard Luffy shout and she followed him into the sky a second later.

"Fire: Phoenix!"

On with Chapter 35:

3RD PERSON POV

"Alright! I caught up with them on the second level!" (Y/n) could hear Luffy say from the ground whilst she was still in the sky.

"Mugiwara!"

"Trafalgar Law!"

"Witch Doctor!"

The soldiers noticed their presence.

"Let's get going, Mugiwara-ya!" Luffy immediately started running but not without shouting at Doflamingo. He held Law under his arm and (Y/n) followed behind him from the sky. Flames are still emitting from her and pushing back any enemies and any attacks.

From afar, one could see the colosseum fighters battling against the Donquixote soldiers in front of them.

The 3 (well, 2) of them stopped moving when a horse suddenly galloped in front of them.

"Cabbage! Do you wanna get in my way, again?!" Luffy shouted and the blonde surprisingly did not respond back in the same manner. "No... get on." he said and of course it caught the Straw Hat off guard, "What?" "I mean I'll give you a ride because I have no other choice!"

"You sure?!" "You wanna get to Doflamingo ASAP, don't you?"

"Alright!"

Apparently it didn't take much to convince Luffy, as usual. With no hesitance, he jumped onto the horse's back and dropped Law's body in between him and Cavendish.

"(Y/n), hop on!" "Eh?" "Huh?"

"Hurry!"

(Y/n) didn't want to stall any longer and quickly joined Luffy on the horse. "Please excuse me."

"Have you ever once in your life been humble?!" Meanwhile Cavendish was livid. "Whatever, Just go!" "Don't tell me what to do!"

"Let's go, Farul!" Cavendish cued his horse to move and (Y/n) felt a new aura appear behind her. She glanced back and saw a huge figure.

'KYROS?!' she screamed in her head as the man placed his index finger on his lips to signal her to keep quiet. (Y/n) agreed confusedly.

"Listen, if we get caught by the executives, we get stuck here. I'm gonna cut the wall and make a path so you kick the other enemies' assets!"

"Got it!"

It was odd yet funny to hear them discuss the plan as if (Y/n) and Kyros, who they have yet to realize his presence, weren't there.

"And we're gonna go straight to the third level-" Cavendish finally glanced behind him and realized the 4th person there, "Hey! That's one too many! Who are you?!" he shouted.

Luffy followed his gaze, "Oh, Soldier-san!"

"When did you get on?!" "Just now! I followed the path that Luffyland made!"

"I see. That's how you followed Mugiwara and got on Farul- Hey! You followed too far!" "Great! I was looking for you!" "You were?" Luffy cut off Cavendish's outburst to talk to Kyros.

"Even if you're his friend, we're overloaded! Get off!" Luffy continued ignoring the blond. "We're gonna meet up with Rebecca!"

"Rebecca is in this enemy territory?! Why didn't you stop her?!" "Listen to me!"

"We'll rendezvous at the Sunflower Field on the fourth level."

"She's on the criminal list, too!"

"Don't worry! She's with my friends!"

"Listen! My dear horse Farul only can run beautifully with two people or less!"

'I want to fly away from them so badly, but I can't leave Law behind!' (Y/n) was having her own battle in her head as she debated to be alone rather than being with this group.

"By the way, pops, why did you take off before I knew it?" Luffy asked Kyros.

"Whatever the situation is.. What I have to do is... bring down Doflamingo and take back the country!

But there's one more thing! There's one man in the family's top executives that I wanna kill with my own bare hands at any cost!" Kyros didn't elaborate any further and it left the group wondering who he was talking about.

"Old man, you're not willing to die, are you?" Luffy suddenly became serious.

"No way! I won't be defeated with this human body!" Kyros proudly claimed.

"Alright then!" "That's it?!" (Y/n) exclaimed with disbelief. But then again, she was dealing with Luffy....

"Nothing's alright! Get off!" Cavendish scolded once again and Luffy argued back, "Huh?! You get off!" but if course it didn't make any sense.

"That's nonsense! You're the worst! You really are part of the Worst Generation!"

"Now's not the time to argue!" (Y/n) couldn't take it anymore and shouted at them.

"Don't tell me what to do!" Cavendish shouted back though.

"Cavendish! Look ahead!" he finally looked away from the argument and saw the commotion up ahead. "That's..."

"Go ahead, Mugiwara!"

"We're gonna keep them busy!"

"What?! Why are you doing this, guys?!" Luffy asked them.

"I'm Dagama, the military tactician! This is a war! Even if we all run wild blindly, no one can reach the top!" the person with a big mustache said.

"I don't trust Dagama but I agreed to his plan. Keep the executives here and let Mugiwara go ahead!" a blue haired male said.

"Leave this mess to us and go!" the giant said.

"Make sure to take him there, Cavendish!" "Hey hey, I'm not public transportation!" the blonde rebutted.

"We gotta win this war!"

"Hehehe," Luffy laughed, "interesting. Let's Go!"

Farul continued galloping forward before they got stopped by Gladius and Machvise. "Don't let Straw Hat and the others proceed to the third level!" "Bring them down at any cost-in! You guys!"

The soldiers followed their commands and charged forward at the five of them.

"We won't let you go any farther from here!" They cried but immediately got beaten by the blue haired man and the king from another country. The giant also provided some assistance by swinging his weapon at them, and soon enough, the colosseum fighters caught up to the group.

"I don't like it but I have no choice but to count on you guys now!" the guy with the high shoulders said.

"Cavendish! Take Mugiwara to the Royal Palace at any cost!" Dagama reminded and Cavendish sighed. "They're saying whatever they want!"

"Let's go, Farul!"

The fighters continued pushing the enemies back as the group continued. However, a few soldiers were able to escape their clutches and chase the horse.

"Keep them away from the Royal Palace!"

"Bring down Mugiwara!"

The soldiers shot bullets and cannons towards them but Farul managed to dodge them easily. (Y/n) was considering on getting off the horse to attack them but looking behind her, she sees that their temporary allies were catching up and helping them anyways.

Suddenly, Dagama got attacked by Dellinger's horns. "Get to the top, Mugiwara!" he shouted, reassuring them to not worry about him.

"Blade of Beauty! Saint-Exupery!" Cavendish unsheathed his sword and attacked the soldiers in front of them.

Luffy stood up on the horse and went into Second gear, "Gomu gomu no Jet Gatling!" he punched the soldiers behind them.

"Stop Mugiwara and the others!"

The soldiers never stopped despite all the attacks coming for them.

"Oh, the Longleg got beat!" Luffy said and in fact, the blue haired man got defeated by Dellinger.

"Don't look away, Mugiwara! We must get to the Palace where Doflamingo is, at any cost!" 'When did Luffy get onto Kyros' shoulders?!' "I knew it when I heard Doflamingo's speech! This game called the Birdcage is all fake!" they were all silent, listening to Cavendish's words.

"As soon as the weapon trafficking and the secret with the toys were revealed, all the people currently in this country were sentenced to extermination, I think. Doflamingo won't let any information out of the country. That's why he enclosed the island in the Birdcage. Which means Dressrosa is a solitary island, cut off from the rest of the world! Believing in miracles and waiting for the end of the game will get us all killed!"

"The only way to get out of this island alive is to move forward and kill Doflamingo! There are a variety of troubles in this country... So many unexpected things are happening around him, but it seems like Doflamingo is enjoying it. I don't know anyone who's more cunning than Doflamingo. Doflamingo is a notch above all the others on all fronts but he made just one mistake: He brought in all those odd, tough warriors from all over the world for the event at the Colosseum. We're not gonna be defeated! Because, after all, I will take down Doflamingo!"

'What?!' "What are you talking about?! I said I'm gonna kick Mingo's ass!"

"I said it would be me, Mugiwara-ya!" 'Law not you too!'

"I'm very impressed, but I'm gonna do it!" 'Even Kyros?!'

(Y/n) at this point was internally crying while the four men were arguing.

"I have to put an end to the tragedy that started 10 years ago!" Kyros said.

"If you talk about time, I have a grudge from 13 years ago!" Law rebutted.

"Then, mine's from 30 years ago!" Luffy did not make any sense...

"Don't lie! There's no way that you're older than me!" Cavendish commented. "You guys, get off!"

"You get off!" Luffy still didn't make any sense.

"It's my horse!" "You told me to get on!"

"Shut up! The road is ending!"

Cavendish turned back to the front to slice a pathway for them to travel. "Almost there! The third level!"

"All right! Go straight to the fourth level like this, Horse!" but when they reached the top, he stopped.

"What's the matter, Farul?" asked Cavendish when Farul started looking around.

Stomps and clanking were heard approaching them in the smoke. When it was close enough, it revealed to be tall nutcrackers.

"What are those giant dolls?!" Luffy exclaimed and more started appearing.

"Tin soldiers?" Kyros said, unsure.

"They're a little too big to be children's toys but, more than that, they're in bad taste!" Cavendish said and a doll stepped forward. Farul got scared and stepped back. This was when the order dolls started following and stomped their way closer.

"Let's shear through them all at once! Farul!" Farul galloped forward and a doll tripped and fell face first in front of them.

"Oh! One of them tripped!" "Are they that clumsy?!" they commented when suddenly the doll looked up and started crawling towards them.

"Earth: Rock Wall!"

<ANIME: Fairy Tail>

The wall managed to push the doll and allowed Farul to move away from it.

"What the-! It tried to chew on my head!" Luffy exclaimed.

"Stay alert! We're gonna go like this! Each of you, defend yourself!" Cavendish said.

They didn't manage to get quite far though when suddenly dolls started appearing all around them. "We're totally surrounded." "Aren't they increasing?"

"Destroying them all is the only way to advance, it seems." (Y/n) said as she got down from the horse. 'Finally, my legs were killing me.' she thought as she readied her staff. "(Y/n)?" Luffy called, "I'll take this side." she said and Luffy grinned, "Alright!" he jumped off of Kyros' shoulders, Kyros soon joining him.

"Earth!"

Earth magic after earth magic, it managed to take down a number of nutcrackers, but they kept on coming!

"They're coming one after another!" Luffy said, now that the four of them were stuck together back-to-back.

"We can't spend too much time here!" Kyros pointed out.

"I'll take care of them all at once!" Cavendish said confidently but of course Luffy had to make it a competition, "I will!" "No, me!"

"First come, first served, then!" he said and the three of them continued fighting the enemies.

"Sigh, guess I'll join in on the fun too." (Y/n) sighed before she conjured up a strong spell.

"Earth: Mountain!"

Clapping her hands together using a lot of magic, the earth from the ground moved and formed to become a big figure 5 times the size of the witch. And with its help, they managed to take down more enemies.

And soon enough, all of them were defeated.

(Y/n) panted before gripping onto her side. It seems one of her wounds had opened again during battle.

"Alright! Those creepy dolls are gone! Let's go!" Cavendish said and looked back to his horse to see Luffy and Kyros already sitting on it.

"Cabbage! (Y/n)! Get on already!" Luffy was holding onto Farul's reins.

"Why're you guys getting on before me!" the blonde scolded before noticing a nutcracker was heading towards their direction. "Dodge, Farul!"

The horse cried before getting its head bitten.

"Horse!" Luffy exclaimed, "You bastard! Gomu gomu no Jet Pistol!" he managed to defeat the doll with one hit and Farul dropped onto the ground.

"Farul!" Cavendish ran towards it and brought its head up carefully. "What a powerful jaw! It crushed his head! Don't die on me, Farul!"

"Cavendish!" (Y/n) ran and kneeled beside him, "I'll heal him." she placed her hands onto the horse and a green light shone.

Meanwhile, the nutcracker was somehow still alive.

"What the... I blew a hole in its stomach!" Luffy said.

"You monster! How could you do this to Farul?!" Cavendish cussed before attacking it, but it was somehow still moving. Slowly, each doll rose from the ground.

"Are they invincible?!"
