In order to help protect them from Doflamingo, Izuku and his friends are separated into four groups. After a heated battle in Hosu, Izuku and Shoko had come on top against the former Vice Admiral Vergo and the mad scientist Caesar Clown. But what of the other two groups and their objectives? Those will be revealed now.

Ochako POV:

"*sniffle* This is so sad. Really a true test of friendship." After being allowed on look at the Straw Hat's journal and learn of their history. I took a little closer note to the struggles they took. "To think you all had this much trouble in your lives. It makes me wanna cry knowing how close you are."

"Try not to ruin my journal with your tears, Ochako. I wanted to show you so you could at least see that we've been through a lot to wanna help out of our own free will." Nami mentioned this with Robin taking the notebook from me to place it back in the ship's navigator's bookshelf.

"So where are we going?"

"A kingdom known as Dressrosa. It was once Doflamingo's kingdom that has long standing history with his lineage as well as the birth of the World Government. We're also close friends with the royal family there."

"Ok, so why are we here?"

"It has to do with two allies of ours. Don Sai, the leader of the Happosui Army and Leo, a warrior of the Tontatta tribe. A group of little people of Dressrosa. They said they saw Doflamingo in an island called Green Bit. An area that the Tontatta live in just off the coast of Dressrosa. This was difficult to believe and it brought a bit of fear in the royal family for them to prepare an army in hopes to stop Doflamingo. But we were able to talk them out of this and have us go after him instead."

"So we're going to Dressrosa? If I remember correctly, Baby 5 was taken from there if I remember correctly."

"We used a Transponder Snail to talk with Rebecca and she said she's more than excited to see some of Flair's friends." Nami stated this with the name 'Flair' surprising me.

"Flair?"

"Apparently we'll find out when we talk to the princess, but apparently she's a friend of Izuku's."

I was a little shocked before I overheard Jinbei speak up. "Dressrosa in sight!" I ran out to see a giant mound of rocks. "Welcome to the kingdom of passion as they call it, Dressrosa."

"Kingdom of passion? Does that mean that they like romance a lot?" Ojiro asked with Luffy starting to laugh.

"This place is so cool. Before when we came here, there were a bunch of toys that were talking and stuff that were actual people. Then, we saw these little people that could lift up some really heavy stuff and made friends with them. Oh yeah, there's also this one legged soldier guy that's the dad to this princess here named Rebecca."

"Sound like a cool place. A soldier that has only one leg sounds really manly if you ask me." I focused on what was happening around us to see some of the townsfolk that were handling some trades on the docs notice us..

"No way. It's the Straw Hats!"

"You kidding!?"

"Hey! Lucy! You there!?"

"HEY! WHAT'S UP!"

"MORON! WE'RE SUPPOSSED TO DO THIS DESCREITLY, NOT ANNOUNCE TO THE ISLAND WE'RE HERE!" Nami hit Luffy over the head before we docked with a bunch of people surrounding us. The people looked to be normal citizens that were umm...thrilled would probably be the best word to say their reactions to seeing the Straw Hats.

"Straw Hat Luffy. It's nice to see you again." The sound of a woman was heard to turn and see a woman with tan skin and dark brown hair smile at us. She looked extremely elegant to the point I was somewhat envious of how pretty she was.

"Oh hey. Your Rebecca's aunt, right. Violet was it?"

"Viola. Violet was the name I went under when we first met, but it's actually Viola."

"Oh right. You helped us out in Dressrosa before. Thanks, you're a nice lady."

"Thank you. Now if you all will follow me, my father is waiting to see you." We began following viola towards the kingdom to have a bunch of people start staring at us. The people seemed really happy and excited even though they had a bunch of pirates in their kingdom. "I never got to ask your names. Please excuse my rudeness. My name is Viola. Crowned princess of Dressrosa. Am I to assume you all are friends of Flair?"

"If you're talking about Portgas bro, then yeah. My name's Eijiro Kirishima."

"I'm Mashiro Ojiro."

"And I'm Ochako Uraraka."

"It is nice to meet you all. Tell me, how is Flair handling?"

"Why do you keep calling Izuku Flair?" I asked this with Viola smiling.

"Forgive me, but he is known by that name as a fighter in the Corrida Colosseum. He was also responsible for helping stop the Donquixote family here along with Straw Hat and his grand fleet."

"Woah, woah, woah. Portgas was responsible for helping your nation?" Ojiro stopped this for Viola to explain a little more in depth with most of us getting lost.

"Thanks to him and the battles he had with the Donquixote executives, we were able to free Dressrosa. Straw Hat may have been the one to defeat Doflamingo and put an end to the reign he had, but he didn't do it alone. As such, we owe him, his crew, the fighters of the Corrida Colosseum and Flair our upmost respect." We came near a set of stairs going up to a castle with a girl and a man with one leg waiting beside it. "Rebecca. Kyros. It's nice to see you two."

"Viola. It's nice to see you too." The girl named Rebecca smiled at us before hugging Luffy. "It's great to see you again, Lucy."

"Nice to see you're doing good too, Rebecca. Oh yeah, Soldier. I hope everything worked out with you and Rebecca."

"It has. Thank you." The man seemed happy before Rebecca turned to me.

"So I had heard you are very close to Flair. Could you tell me how he is doing?"

"Ok, why does everyone here call Luffy 'Lucy' and Izuku 'Flair'? I don't get it."

"Sorry. I just call him that, because I first met him as Flair. it was only until very recently that I had learned of Fla-I mean Potgas's real name. When we met, I was a gladiator in the Corrida Colloseum fighting in a battle for the Flame Flame Fruit."

"You mean Portgas's dad's Devil Fruit?" Rebecca nodded at Ojiro before continuing.

"Doflamingo was using it to bait Lucy, but he also baited Portgas. He didn't want his father's Devil Fruit to fall into the wrong hands and said that if anyone deserved to eat it, it was him. I didn't understand what he meant, but I eventually did when I found the article about him in the newspaper a month back about who he was really." Rebecca held her head down in a bit of shame saying this before continuing. "If I had known that now, perhaps I would've given Flair my spot in the finals instead of him protecting me from Hakuba's attack."

I patted Rebecca's shoulder for her to look up at me. "If I know Izuku, he wouldn't have protected you if you weren't someone worth his kindness. So don't worry about it."

"I also owe him a great deal of gratitude." The man Kyros spoke up before standing on his leg. "When I was battling the top executive Diamante during the battle for this kingdom, it was him that protected Rebecca and allowed me to fight without worry. I owe him a great debt for protecting my daughter."

"We should probably head inside so you all know what's going on." Viola let us inside with us heading towards the throne room. There, we were greeted by an old man with a strange shaped head who was the ruler of the kingdom. Before things got farther though, we were told to wait outside while Luffy and his crew spoke. While this happened, Kirishima, Ojiro and myself were able to talk with Rebecca a little more.

"So how old are you?"

"19. I am actually looking at possibly going to a foreign school to broaden my education about the world. It's quite vast and my aunt said she was willing to assist in it. I was actually planning on going to UA next year in all honesty."

"Oh wow. That's a real feat. What course do you plan to go into?" Ojiro asked in curiosity.

"General Studies. Nothing against the Hero Course, but I have had enough violence to last a lifetime. I spent quite a few years in an arena only to escape without harming anyone myself. Thanks to this, I am given a momentous opportunity from Flair and Lucy and want to use it to my fullest."

"Lady Rebecca. We have a copy of today's newspaper if you'd like to keep yourselves preoccupied with this." A soldier gave Rebecca a newspaper for me to walk over and sit beside her. On the front page, it showed in big letters what happened last night.

"Flair was attacked by a Doflamingo executive!?"

"Let me see that real quick." I took the paper from Rebecca to read out what happened. "Last night, Hosu had been attacked by the Hero Killer Stain and humanoid monstrosities known as Nomu. However, this was a ploy as in the background of this madness happening, the son of Fire Fist Ace, Porgas D. Izuku had fought former Vice Admiral Vergo and former Marine scientist Caesar Clown. The earlier of the two had escaped Marine custody in Impel down not long ago and were high priority targets. Eye witness reports say Portgas D. Izuku had stopped an attack that threatened to destroy most of Hosu with the only evidence this was even possible to clarify this was a massive explosion and testimony of pro hero Endeavor and his sidekick Burnin. Other reports state that the Revolutionary Army's Chief of Staff Sabo had a role to play in this incident, but there is nothing confirming or denying this."

"So Portgas bro was attacked in Hosu? Does it say if he's ok?"

I tried looking for any information to only find a small bit about him being sent to a hospital in hopes to prevent any serious injuries. "It says he's ok, but he had to go to a hospital." I was worried with what happened for the Straw Hats to come out.

"Well this sucks. We made the trip here for nothing." Luffy stated as they left with all of us standing up.

"Doflamingo isn't here anymore?"

"Nope. Turns out it was a fake Mingo and he's long gone now. Probably was to pull us away from Japan so he could go after Izuku."

"Seems like something he'd do. That guy was Super tricky." Franky pointed this out with Luffy clenching his fist.

"The next time I see Mingo, I'm gonna kick his ass good!" Luffy and the Straw Hats started walking away with the king speaking up.

"Since you all came this way to try and stop a man that isn't here anymore, could I at least offer you some hospitality with something to eat before you leave?"

"WOOHOO! FOOD!"

"Seems more than generous of you, your majesty." Jinbei bowed for everyone else to agree to the king's offer.

"The dinning hall is down this way if you'll follow me."

We began walking before I found a place to pull to the side. "Do you mind if I make a call first. I just wanna make sure Izuku's ok."

"Go ahead. The dinning hall is down this hall to the left when you are finished." The king smiled at me a little for me to bow as a thank you.

'Such a nice king he is. The people seem happy too.' I started making my call to see if I could get Izuku to answer. It rang for a minute before it went to voicemail. "Hey, Izuku. I saw the paper and I just wanted to make sure you were ok. I'm right now in a kingdom called Dressrosa and I found out what you did here. Anyway, Rebecca says she owes you a thank you and so does this soldier guy called Kyros. Call me back when you can so I know you're ok. Bye." I shut off my phone to feel a little worried for Izuku.

"Aww. Quite a caring little girlfriend you are." I overheard someone speak to turn around and be met by the figure of Doflamingo.

"Wha-" My mouth was covered by his hand to keep me silent.

"Don't shout. You do, and you'll die." There wasn't any reason to think he was lying to feel the impending presence of the former Warlord. "Before you think otherwise, I'm just a clone of the real me. I came here as a way to lure out you or those other two idiots. Why you may ask, because I want you all to know something. Portgas and his mother are who I'm after as well as Baby 5 and Monet."

'Baby 5 and Monet? Why them?'

"To make matters simple for the last two, it's personal." His veins began to bulge on his head before showing a spiteful scowl. "They betrayed my family. As such, they need to pay the consequences for that. I'm merciful for failures in my family, bit I will never allow treachery from those that are in my family. You get it right? Being part of that little snot nosed fire spitting punk's group, you'd understand betrayal is the one thing that's inexcusable."

He let my mouth go for me to glare up at the clone in anger. "You know nothing about us. Don't pretend like you do. Even if what you say is true and we hate betrayal, you let Monet die and you killed Baby 5's fiances before Izuku. If you had any real care for either of them, you'd have never let one try to kill herself for you and force the other to watch as you betray the sincerity in her actions!" I saw the clone glare down at me to understand he was holding back the urge to kill me. 'Crap. I shouldn't have let my mouth run.'

"Hehehe. I like your moxy, kid." He began patting my head to confuse me. "How about this. If you leave Portgas before all this goes down, I'll give you the position in the executives that Baby 5 had. I'll even give you her's or Monet's Devil Fruit when all is said and done. Consider it my offer for someone who isn't afraid to speak their mind." The clone disappeared with his words ticking me off to no end.

"You think I'm so quick to change Izuku's side and follow you? Izuku may have the Marines and a bunch of other's on his back, but I'm not some kind of bitch who would willingly save my own skin at the cost of my friends." I muttered this to myself before getting to the dinning hall. I calmed myself before entering, still a little shaken from the clone Doflamingo. 'I won't let you hurt Izuku. That I swear.'

And that finishes this chapter. So the whole thing with Luffy's group going to Dressrosa was more to show the amount of gratitude the crew and Izuku has for what they've done in Dressrosa to help shed some light on how others saw Izuku before finding out his lineage. Anyway, hope you all enjoyed and thanks for reading.
