Who is the next Demon King?

Teddy yawned loudly and sat up, stretching her arms above her head as she gave a little squeak. She glanced at the calendar and noticed that it was Friday. A red circle drawn around the date made her get up and walk over, reading the words written on the marked calendar.

"School supplies?" She read aloud.

"THAT'S RIGHT!" Someone screamed from behind her.

"OH! Araina don't scare me!" Teddy huffed as she turned around to pout at her roommate.

The blonde girl giggled and started floating above her head in circles. Excitement was clear as day on her face, and Teddy didn't know whether or not she should be concerned. After everything that had happened, she was very convinced that her roommate was either 1) crazy or 2) insane.

"Hey, Teddy, wanna go buy our robes together?" Araina gasped excitedly.

"Robes?" Teddy wondered. She gave a shrug and proceeded to take a shower while Araina rushed to the door after hearing a knock.

The lukewarm water made her feel drowsy again and she let out a silent yawn. She grabbed the towel from the rack and wrapped it around herself, before opening the door and walking out. "Nice," Law hummed and tilted his head, eyes scanning the concealed body of the now self-conscious female.

"LAW, WHAT THE HECK!?" Teddy shrieked and grabbed a nearby lamp then threw it at him. He smoothly ducked out of the way and chuckled. Without another word, he left the room.

Throwing a glare at Araina for letting a man in their room, she scoffed angrily and made her way to her closet. Lines of white uniforms with gold accents nearly occupied the entire wardrobe. There were various choices of uniforms that the students can choose to wear, but Teddy liked the sailor fuku uniform because it brought out her childish appearance. She picked one and dressed herself then headed out with Araina to the courtyard where everyone was meeting up.

Once she got outside she noticed the entire student body was divided up by their houses. Anyone could tell by the colors of their neckties, so she searched for the house with the red tie. She walked over and was greeted by a smiling Leo, a hungry Luffy and a smirking Law.

Suddenly recalling the earlier events, she hurriedly covered her body and narrowed her eyes dangerously at him. The tanned man chuckled in amusement, before turning his attention to Shanks.

"Alright, everyone! The transport will be here soon!" Red Hair announced.

The iron gates opened, creaking soundly much like the ones from a horror movie, then the rumbling of thunder began to drown out the students' excitement. Everyone filed out of campus grounds and waited as the ships shot passed them. "Wow..." Teddy breathed in awe.

Four large galleons floated one after the other in a line. One had the Red Hair House's symbol on the main sail.

Shanks instructed his House to climb on board the ship and, as soon as everyone was on, the ship began to rise from the ground.

"SHANKS! LET'S GO FULL SPEED!" Luffy exclaimed.

"Oi! Call me Mister Shanks or Shanks-sensei when we're on school grounds!" The Red Hair captain scolded.

"But we're not even on the ground anymore!!"

As she watched the two argue, Araina began to join in as well. Teddy sweat dropped. Araina was just shouting random things to make the argument louder.

She looked away and decided to focus her attention on something else, so she decided to look down at the school.

The entire campus looked like one big castle and a boarding school meshed together, the main building being white in color.

Red Hair House was located at the far left behind the main building and was red in color. It consisted of the dorm rooms and, in between them, the common room where Red Hair House students would gather.

Whitebeard House was beside it and blue in color. Big Mom was located beside the Whitebeard House and yellow in color. And the green house, the last one located at the far right, was Beasts House.

The campus grounds stretched far and wide. The entire area was isolated from the outside world. Everything behind the electrical wired fence made sure that no one would escape. However, some people have the ability to go past that fence.

So why haven't they?

"I can see the curiosity in your eyes, Kumagai~" Doflamingo grinned from beside her.

"When did you get on board?!" She asked and backed away.

"Just now," He replied. "I couldn't help but come over after seeing such a serious look on your face!"

Teddy stayed quiet. He was such a strange man. Stranger beyond strange.

"Fufufu! Let me explain something to you," Doflamingo began. He leaned down to get close to her face and whispered. "This school was made to not make sure troublemaking students would not escape, but could not escape."

Teddy froze, "H-Huh?!"

With that reaction, he grinned and continued. "You see, the world is afraid of someone turning into the next Demon King."

"Demon King?" Teddy blinked.

"Have you heard of Gol D. Roger? The very first Demon King?" He asked her seriously.

She nodded. How could anyone not know the very name of that man?

"Gol D. Roger, the Demon King. People say that he took everything the world had to offer. Wealth, fame, power. His strength was so great that it was inhuman. People were scared of him, right?" Teddy looked down as she grimaced at the thought.

Doflamingo nodded, "Some even say that he was the Devil himself. And it's because of that, that the government decided to keep people like him contained."

"So we're prisoners?!" She gasped and looked up, but Doflamingo was gone.

"Gol D. Roger..." She murmured to herself. "People are afraid...that one of us would turn into someone like him...?"
