One Piece: Throne War

'So they are Dofflamingo's subordinates. I understand now why they dared to attack Diablo's headquarters. Don't think everything will go the way you want Dofflamingo 'thought Cross. He founded a mafia family because he wanted to protect ordinary people from people like Dofflamingo.

"Bring all of them to jail. Call the person in charge of guarding the residents and clean up this place. Ditto take your people to headquarters, I want to talk something," Cross ordered Raunz and Doyas. He then walked towards the biggest house in the city. The house is the headquarters of the Diablo Family in East Blue. Takashi and Hisashi followed Cross because they knew there was something important.

"Yes !!!" Raunz and Doyas shouted simultaneously.

_the hiding places of the citizens_

"Hey, is the fight over? I haven't heard the gunshot" asked a man.

"I hope this ends quickly and nothing happens with the members of the Diablo Family," answered the man's wife.

Pere ... pere ... pere ... pere ....

Pere ... pere ... pere ... pere ....

Kacha ...

"What is wrong?" asked the Diablo Family member.

"You and the others can go to the port now. The fight is over and Reaper wants us to clear the harbor. The citizens can go to headquarters because Raunz does not want the residents to see the situation at the port for now" answered Doyas.

"We'll be there soon," the man answered and closed the call.

"We will help clean the port, the women can go to your base. At least we want to help," said a man with a large body.

"All right, but you can go to headquarters if you are unable to see the corpse," the Diablo Family member reminded.

"Yes," answered the man.

Then they all came out of hiding. The women went to the Diablo Family headquarters and the men went to the port to help clean up after the battle.

After walking for about 10 minutes they arrived at the port and what greeted them was a pile of corpses. Seeing all the corpses in the harbor made the people and members of the Diablo Family weak. But the Diablo Family members ran towards Doyas and asked "Are you OK? And what is really happening here? Why are there so many enemy corpses but you have not been hurt at all? Have you been hiding your strength all this time?"

Hearing a lot of questions made Doyas annoyed and said "can you ask one by one? I'm fine and all of these corpses are the result of the battles of the two Reapers who came to help us. If you don't believe then you can ask the others. I'll clean this part here. "

The man who asked could only daydream at Doyas's answer. 'Two Reapers caused all this? Crazy!! One day I will be strong and wear that mask, 'thought the man.

"Don't just stand there !! I don't know whether this will be finished tonight or not so help the others" shouted Doyas.

"Yes !!"

Half of the residents who came to help vomit, because they saw the number of corpses in the harbor. But they still went to help because if the Diablo Family did not protect them when their village was attacked by pirates then they might have died. And the Diablo Family even suggested moving from their old village because their island was far from the marine branch headquarters.

When he arrived at headquarters, Cross immediately contacted Sairaorg and wanted to ask their situation.

"Is the business over?" Sairaorg asked and Cross hear the sound of someone shouting behind Sairaorg.

"Yes, it's finished. Where are you? And why is it so noisy," Cross asked irritably.

"On the way, we met the pirates and I told Gin to fight with the captain of the pirate group. The noise was Bepo commenting on Gin fighting," answered Sairaorg.

"Then what about Gin's fighting style?" Cross asked.

"He is quite strong in East Blue, and maybe only a few people can defeat him in East Blue. But his fighting style is very dangerous, from what I see he fights while protecting others. So sometimes he will lose focus, I will help him get rid of that habit." Sairaorg answered. Sairaorg thinks Gin is very loyal, even his fighting style is focused on protecting his friend. But Gin's group is now much stronger than his friends so he doesn't need to have that habit.

"Alright then, just leave Gin's friends in the city you are going to and they will be picked up by members of the Diablo Family. They have to practice because they are very weak. And also the one who made 10 families move is Dofflamingo. I got this information from one of the family leaders, "Cross said passing on information to Sairaorg.

"Are we going to fight with Dofflamingo?" Sairaorg asked eagerly.

"Probably not, but I'm sure Dofflamingo will order his men to come here. When they come you can fight with them. They are from the New World so they are definitely strong," Cross said giving hope to Sairaorg.

"Hahaha, that's good," Sairaorg answered with a loud laugh. But suddenly there is the sound of denden mushi.

Pere ... pere ... pere ... pere ....

Pere ... pere ... pere ... pere ....

Kacha ...

"Here Cross, why do you call me?" Cross asked

"Are you okay?"

"Hm? Yuriko? Why did you call me? Did something happen to Saya?" asked Cross because the one who usually contacted Cross and gave information was Saya.

"She was busy so I called you. Am I not allowed to call you?" Yuriko asked sadly.

"If there is nothing else you want to talk about, I will close this call," said Sairaorg, slightly annoyed.

"Eh? Sairaorg?" Yuriko asked confused. She didn't think Cross was talking to Sairaorg. Because all she knew was that Sairaorg and Cross were separating. Cross took care of the Diablo Family and Sairaorg took care of his pirate group. Knowing that Sairaorg was listening made Yuriko embarrassed.

"When I'm done here then we can meet and beat up Dofflamingo subordinates," Cross said and ended the call.

"Umm, the information you want has been obtained. Arlong is at the 16th Branch of a marine base. And they will send Arlong in 2 days to Impel Down," said Yuriko with embarrassment.

"Thank you for the information, after I finished taking Arlong, I'm going to North Blue. There's something I want to give," Cross said.

"Alright, take care," Yuriko said.

Not long after the conversation ended someone knocked on the door and Cross told him to enter. The one who comes is Takashi, Hisashi and Ditto.

"I want our conversation to end quickly because there is something I have to do so answer honestly," Cross said coldly.

"I will answer all your questions honestly" answered Ditto.

"Do you know how your boss can get help from Joker?" Cross asked.

"Looks like he caught some people and sold them to the Joker," Ditto answered sadly. He could not stop the activities carried out by his boss.

"How long has the activity been going on? And do you know what happened to the people who were sold to the Joker?" Cross asked angrily because most likely the people were dead. 'Before killing you I will experiment with your body and I will make you choose death rather than life.' Cross clenched his fist hard.

"The information I have is that he started the activity 2 years ago and I have not heard from the people who were sold to the Joker from him," answered Ditto.

"They all died as experimental material by Joker," Cross answered with the d.e.s.i.r.e to kill Dofflamingo.

Hearing that Ditto immediately cried. He cried because he could not keep his promise. He is one of the founders of Big Tree Family. At first, he thought he could be the strongest person in East Blue and protect people. But the longer he fought the more his fear became greater. Ditto was afraid of people from the Grand Line because they were all strong and would kill anyone who bothered them. So when the boss and the Joker make a deal he is afraid to kill the boss because Joker could target someone else and not him. If Ditto knew that those people would be used as experimental material, he would kill his boss for a long time and then provoke Joker so that Joker could only target him and not someone else. But the regret was too late because those people were dead.

"Why are you crying?" Cross asked because it was strange to see an old man crying.

"I founded the Big Tree Family with my friend with the aim that the bad guys can't hurt ordinary people. But my fear actually made them all die. And what caused their death was the person who had been near me" answered Ditto.

"Do you still want to protect people with your strength? And maybe you will die while protecting them," Cross asked seriously.

"If I am given another chance, I will risk my life," Ditto answered confidently.

"Do you want to join the Diablo Family? Because your principles are the same as ours, so I invite you to join," Cross said.

Ditto was confused to answer because he did not want the Big Tree Family to be dissolved. But given the current situation, he replied "I will join."
