My apologies, its been almost a month since the last time I've updated this book. I had a minor case of writers block...

Budda budda budda budda...

The transponder snail had put on some new accessories while it rang on a loop until it were dressed in sharp red frame shades and a feather boa, lastly it put on a wicked grimace that sent a cold chill to rack everyone's spine. That transponder snail was the mirror image of a warlord most do not wish to even speak of in fear that the very mention of his name will have bounty hunters out to get their head. The entire Straw Hat Crew remained silent as Law and Luffy stepped before the buzzing snail.

"That's the flamingo right?" Luffy growled.

"Unfortunately it is..." Trafalgar Law glared at the snail. It were as if the snail were taunting him in such a mocking sort of way just like Doflamingo would as if he were there in person. Law couldn't help but growl at the snail now, he just wanted to smack that grimace right off of the snail's face. It was only a matter of time before someone would pick up the microphone of the snail to answer the call, the snail would take up the persona of the person on the other end...

Luffy picked up the microphone. "Hello I'm Monkey D. Luffy and I'm going to become the pirate king!!!" The idiotic captain shouts into the snail.

You snapped your head around to Doflamingo all rested upon his spacious plush couch with one leg rested upon the other as he wore his usual grimace. There was an adult transponder snail sitting before the man in pink wearing an outfit similar to Trafalgat Law with that leopard print hat of his sitting atop the snail's half lidded eyes. "Law and Caesar are on the Sunny..." You remembered. The mouth to the transponder snail moved to form words little by little. It was the chittering and chattering of your crew scolding Luffy for answering the snail with his introduction. Doflamingo turned his attention from the snail, annoyed by all the side conversations to smirk at you.

No doubt, this random phone call was made to torture and tease you.

"Show me that sword transformation of yours and I'll let you share some words with them," Doflamingo snickered, motioning his hand towards the microphone of the snail that he covered up to mute your conversation.

Even if I were to call out to them they won't hear me... You growled. The thing that irritated you more than Doffy's teasing was the fact that everyone else were still arguing it up with Luffy on the other end. "Fine," you tut stepping before Doflamingo. "Get these damn chains off of me, then we'll talk," you held out your wrists to the man with a whole hearted glare. Since the day you were kidnapped, Doffy has kept you under his lock and key practically begging you to show off this weapon form you withheld from his eyes. His secretary or assistant or whatever she was, warned you about his love of money. I think her name was Violet, she had to be very low key about this secretion of information. Although, hearing all the horror stories from Law, you had a feeling that Doflamingo wanted something from you, and that would be the reveal of your abilities and sold into slavery or ransom.

"As if," Doffy sang. "The second those chains come off you'll attack within a seconds notice," you rolled your eyes. Of course he came to that conclusion.

"To my information, you know my father Mihawk pretty well. I was raised to tell the truth. I haven't lied, so why would I start now?" Doflamingo hummed with interest to your claim. The silence lingered for a good minute, yet, your crew still argued amongst themselves. Pathetic...

The man in pink came to a conclusion. "You make a great argument," Doflamingo dug through the pockets to his khaki shorts and waved the key to your restraints before your face. "Now will be the moment of truth... Did Mihawk raise his daughter right?" He chuckled, taking you by thr hand. The insertion of the bronze key had the metallic band pop from your wrist to crash onto the ground below. Another crash to follow with your freedom.

You stared at your barren wrists. All that remained was the scars from way back then. Can't believe he bought it...

"Any second now," Doffy complained with a shit eating grin.

"Ever heard of patience?" You tut turning your back on the man. Your heart beats madly on your chest on a non stop loop with hands growing clammy due to the pressure of the situation. A few deep breaths and you were set. Time to put Shanks and Zoro's training to good use...

Your forearms sparkled with a blinding light, extending in length in a straight line till they nearly touched the floors with a pointed tip. The light faded, revealing forearms in the shape of slick black blades reminiscent of a katana.

(That special training the Reader spoke of was how she leared how to transform only her upper arms into swords instead of her entire arm. This upgrade grants better control in combat. The picture below is a perfect example of this upgrade provided by Jyugo from the anime Nanbaka.)

"I kept my word didn't I?" You groaned showing off your swords in all their breathtaking glory. Doflamingo hummed with delight, he got what he asked for. Although he was expecting the full weapon transformation, this was good enough even for a man of his expectations.

"You've earned a few words to your crew-" you swipe at Doflamingo with your swords. He grunted, jumping backwards just in time as your sword cuts the couch in half almost as clean as a pair of scissors to a sheet of paper. Doffy straightened himself out from kneeling, wearing that signature grimace. "You seriously think I didn't foretell your lying actions?"

"If you seriously knew I'd lie, why let me go free?" You growled, running at the warlord at full force before thrusting another swipe of your blade at his body only to completely miss yet again.

"I love women who play hard to get," Doffy snickered. You physically gagged, utterly disgusted by that comment. You drew your arm back once again, it got stuck in mid air. A cold sweat formed upon your forehead, snapping your head back to find that a faint series of clear strings were tied to your elbow restraining all movements. You growled, bringing up your other blade and cut the strings, only to get a kick to the gut where the foot remained. Strings bound you to your spot. Doffy kicked you once more, you coughed up blood and thus Doflamingo howled into a fit of laughter letting you fall onto the floor motionless...

"Excuse me... I have a call to resume," Doflamingo walked away with his head held high. Leaving you to choke on your own blood.

Your crew were still arguing, at this point it was nothing of a surprise. You listened to the call carefully, just trying to gather enough strength to speak since your stomach were nothing but mush.

"We will bring Caesar to you..." Trafalgar announces through the snail after debating to and fro with Doffy.

"Highly appreciated," Doffy thanked your crew. The call were about to end, you can't let it end!

"Law... Zoro!" You shout out in a weak voice. Doffy snapped his head around to you, just as you tried to shout something else, he bound your mouth with a gag made entirely of strings. You cried and cried, ripping at the strings but made no efforts.

Your call did make it to the crew. It was faint, yet heard by all. A vein popped from Zoro's forehead as he held his white sword in a death grip within his left hand. "I'll kill this Bastard..." He cursed under his breath.

"Well... No sense in hiding it now," Doflamingo snickered as the snail mimicked the action. "I have something of value to you all."

The Transponder Snail fell asleep, the call had ended.

"Go chop a tree or something," Law booted Zoro from the scene before he could cut down anyone and anything within range.

"Hey those are my trees!" Nami snapped pulling out her clima-tact.

"I'm sure your life matters more than a tree," Law claimed, even Nami stepped back with a pain to her heart hearing the crash of one of her tangerine trees biting the dust...

"We're getting (Y/n) back..." Luffy himself looked as if he were about to lose it.

"We all want (Y/n) back," Sanji lit himself a new cigarette. He were ready to tackle on the new challenge ahead.
