Chapter 65 - Strings of fate. ZOMBIES!

[Dressrosa]

"Of all people to see me, you are the last person I expected~"

"Don't flatter yourself, Broker." A rough older voice snaps.

Doflamingo the Heavenly Demon of Dressrosa, sat on her throne, fingers between golden strands of hair.

In front of the Warlord stands St. Jaygarcia Saturn, a member of the 5 Elders who govern the world and the GodHead of Science and Defence.

"What brings you to my humble nation?" Doffy giggles, her eyes hidden by her shades.

"Enough of the small talk. Let's discuss what we both want from each other. "

"Straight to the point, huh? I love it." Doflamingo licks her strawberry lipstick; her irises sparkle behind her shades.

Saturn ignores the woman's antics, "I'm aware of the fact that you know about Olympus. " He reveals.

Doflamingo presses her lips together.

"How did you–?"

"Cesar is quite talkative when given the right motivation. "

"That bastard." Doflamingo clicks her tongue, clearing her throat to regain what's left of her composure.

"So, are you going to kill me for knowing about an old island?"

"No, that would be a waste of a potential asset. I want you to go there and retrieve someone important for me. " Saturn demands.

His words weren't a request but a command.

"Pfft–why don't you send your lap dogs to do it?" Doflamingo scowls, digging her manicured nails into her pink leather throne.

"I already sent them to destroy the Island. This mission requires your particular skill set. "

"And what is that exactly?" Doffy hums in amusement.

Saturn turns his back on the Warlord, staring at the ocean of Dressrosa.

"You were exiled from the Holy Lands and still made something for yourself. Even though you chose to be rot amongst the sea, you are noble-blooded rot." Jaygarcia compliments.

"Thanks..." Doflamingo bites her bottom lip, a vein visible on her forehead.

"Listen Doflamingo. Olympus is a place that even our God fears, that should be enough to interest you." Jaygarcia glances back at her.

Doflamingo went quiet, letting his words settle on her skin, she spoke hesitantly.

"You're bluffing. " She growls.

"I wish I were..." Jaygarcia laments.

"I need you to find Hades, and in return, I will reinstate your status as a Celestial Dragon."

[South of Olympus]

A CP-0 vessel is docked on the Southern coast of Olympus.

9 agents in tailored white suits and cream white theatrical masks were moving through the forest like shadows escaping sunlight.

Moving above them in the blue skies, wearing a dramatic pink feathered coat is Doflamingo.

"Are you sure you don't want me to carry you, Stussy-chan?"

"No." The Blonde agent rejects her advances.

"Suit yourself. "

Whoosh

Doflamingo soars higher into the sky, a wide grin on her face, the cool breeze soothing her golden locks and her arms wide with the least care in the world.

"Any leads on finding him?" She asks.

The tallest CP-0 agent responds, "Our map of this island is over 400 years old."

"Great... more work for me," Doffy grumbles.

"Stussy, can you single out any odd heat signatures?" Another agent asked.

Stussy takes a sniff of the air, her ears getting pointy.

"I can sense a lot of strong bodies..."

"Ohh~" Doflamingo purrs.

Stussy frowned at her reaction.

"...I got one!" She announces that two small crimson bat wings spawn from her back.

"This way!" Stussy urges.

BOOOOM

"Shxt!" Tashigi curses as another Spartan tries to thrust the bottom of their spear in an attempt to kill her.

Whoosh

She slashes the air, creating another giant projectile slash at the mindless warrior.

"Uuhh..."

Splatter.

To her shock, they barely made an effort to block, taking the slash fully. Blood squirts down their left arm.

"Ughh..." The lobotomised warrior grips their xiphos, charging at Tashigi as if that's their only function right now.

"Gunston." Sonya forms dozens of smoke fists around her, like a tobacco-themed octopus, sending a barrage of fists at the Spartans.

Bronze armour clattering against the ground, groans of half-present men and the same bodies bashing against each other.

Hina slams her palms on the ground.

Sharp-edged iron bars sprouting out of the ground, piercing through bronze armour and bones of the Nephilim. Leaving them impaled by her stake-shaped bars.

All 80 of them impaled on cold iron.

Dienekes watches on with fury in his eyes.

"No!" He yells.

"Huff...huff..." Hina shudders through her breathing, her forehead is coated in sweat and her body is shaking from the excessive use of her Devil Fruit.

"Hina can't hold out much longer. " She groans out.

"Tashigi. " Gion looks at her.

"Right. "

Tashigi and Gion coordinate to unleash a dance of blades.

"Yogen no Tor, i." They call simultaneously.

A gigantic, sun-kissed two-headed bird with vibrant purple feathers forms from their slashes.

The majestic bird flies over the army of thrashing warriors. Leaving violet feathers behind.

"Ughhh–" Hina releases her hold just as the slashes litter the bodies of Spartans.

A shower of blood decorates them. The calming screams of Spartans made them relieved.

"Finally. " Gion sighs, sheathing her blade.

Tashigi holds Marie and Épée a bit longer.

Doll and Sonya went to help Hina up.

The pink-haired captain is out of breath.

"You did amazing, Hina." Doll soothes her lower back.

"You're getting scary." Sonya chuckles, placing her hand over Hina's shoulder.

"CURSE YOU ALL!" Dienekes charges at them, spear in hand and yelling at the top of his lungs.

"Enough of this. "

"Huh!?"

Roots exploded from the ground, coiling around his feet and moving up his body like eager serpents.

"Leonidas –mhmm!" Dienekes' voice died down as Aramaki made his roots invade his mouth, violating the Spartan general.

BOOOOM

"ROOAAARRRR–" Leonidas howls in pain, Akainu's magma fist mixed with his advanced armament sent the shield lion flying across the forest, slamming into a boulder.

"I've had enough of this place." Akainu grits his teeth, body completely coated in magma like a hell spawn.

"I'll make sure to use your strength. " Aramaki chuckles as he absorbs all of Dienekes's lifespan, leaving the man in a mummified state, his parasitic roots did the same to the beaten army of lobotomised Spartans. Their efforts are returning to Earth.

"This isn't all of them." Aramaki licks his lips with gluttony. "There's more coming. "

"Let's end them all. Ramos can handle the pirates' sisters. " Akainu marches down the forest, burning all life around him.

"This just got complicated. " Doll sighs.

"Let's go." Tashigi gestures, her hand resting on her blades sheathes.

"The wrath of Zeus will fall upon you all." A voice cackles from beneath the Island.

The land of Olympus is far from settled, anger will fall on those who dare to upset Zeus's territory.
