π΄ββ οΈπ The RV Guardians vs. Doflamingo ππ΄ββ οΈ
The Grand Meow Line was quiet.
Too quiet.
Captain Chad stood on top of the RV Guardian, pirate hat tilted sideways.
βI smell danger.β
Agaricus Bisporus looked up from her map.
βYou smell tuna.β
βThat too.β
Echo was asleep near the sail, one claw hanging out dramatically.
Che-Ni-Mon was checking the emergency snack supply.
Lily was napping.
Which meant everything was normal.
Then pink feathers drifted through the sky.
One feather.
Then another.
Then hundreds.
Agaricus frowned.
βThatβs not weather.β
A shadow appeared above them.
A tall figure stood on a floating platform of strings, wearing a pink feather coat and sunglasses.
He smiled.
A very bad smile.
βFufufufuβ¦ what do we have here?β
Chad pointed dramatically.
βWho are you?!β
The villain laughed.
βI am Doflamingo.β
Che-Ni-Mon immediately hid inside a barrel.
βI donβt like the laughing one!β
Doflamingo lifted one finger.
Invisible strings wrapped around the RV Guardian.
The whole ship creaked.
Agaricus gasped.
βHeβs controlling the ship!β
Chad slammed his paw down.
βNobody controls our RV but us!β
Doflamingo flicked his fingers.
The RV lurched sideways.
Chad flew into a cushion.
Agaricus grabbed the wheel.
Echo opened one eye.
Lily opened half an eye.
Che-Ni-Mon screamed from inside the barrel.
Chad stretched his paw back.
βGUM-GUM PAW!β
His paw snapped forward and smacked one of the strings.
TWANG!
The string broke.
Doflamingoβs smile faded just a little.
βOh?β
Agaricus spread her wings.
βTori-Tori Fruit.β
Feathers burst around her as she transformed into a giant bird.
She flew above the ship, slicing through strings with her wings.
βChad! Keep him distracted!β
βThatβs my favorite job!β
Doflamingo sent sharp strings flying.
Echo finally stood.
She stretched.
Then extended one claw.
Then another.
Then a third.
One on her left paw.
One on her right paw.
And one dramatic back-paw claw.
The enemy pirates stared.
Echo yawned.
βThree-Claw Style.β
Then she vanished.
WHOOSH.
Strings snapped.
Pirates tripped.
One enemyβs sunglasses flew off.
Echo landed on a barrel.
βToo slow.β
Then immediately turned the wrong direction.
βEcho, heβs over there!β shouted Agaricus.
βI knew that.β
She did not.
Che-Ni-Mon peeked from the barrel.
βI have a plan!β
Everyone froze.
Even Doflamingo.
Che-Ni-Mon held up a tiny slingshot.
βI call this moveβ¦ Emergency Panic Shot!β
She fired.
The pebble missed Doflamingo completely.
Bounced off the mast.
Hit a frying pan.
Launched a tuna can into the air.
The tuna can smashed into Doflamingoβs string platform.
CLANG!
The platform wobbled.
Doflamingo stumbled.
Chad gasped.
βChe-Ni-Mon, that was genius!β
Che-Ni-Mon blinked.
βIt was?β
Doflamingo growled.
βEnough.β
He lifted both hands.
Thousands of strings covered the sky like a giant cage.
The crew stared upward.
Agaricus landed beside Chad.
βThatβsβ¦ a lot of string.β
Chad grinned.
βGood. More stuff to punch.β
The strings came crashing down.
Agaricus flew upward, carrying Chad.
Chad stretched both paws back.
Echo climbed the mast for a better angle.
Che-Ni-Mon loaded another Panic Shot.
And Lilyβ¦
Lily finally stood up.
The entire sea went quiet.
Doflamingo looked down.
βAnd what are you supposed to be?β
Lily stared at him.
βI was napping.β
Doflamingo paused.
Lily stepped forward.
βYou woke me up.β
Even Chad whispered, βOh no.β
Doflamingo tried to laugh.
βFufuββ
Lily narrowed her eyes.
The laugh died instantly.
Agaricus dove.
Chad launched.
Echo struck from above.
Che-Ni-Mon fired the luckiest panic shot in pirate history.
And Lily simply walked forward.
Together, the RV Guardians attacked.
βGUM-GUM FULL SEND!β
βTori-Tori Sky Strike!β
βThree-Claw Style: Nap Guardian!β
βEmergency Panic Shot!β
Lily raised one paw.
βNo.β
The strings shattered.
Doflamingo flew backward into his own feather coat, tangled completely like a pink yarn ball.
He landed on his ship with a dramatic thud.
For once, he was silent.
Chad stood proudly at the bow.
βThis is our ship!β
Agaricus landed beside him.
βOur RV.β
Echo nodded.
βOur nap spot.β
Che-Ni-Mon peeked out.
βOur very scary but successful battle.β
Lily returned to her cushion.
βMy nap.β
Doflamingoβs ship drifted away.
One of his crew members whispered, βCaptainβ¦ should we attack again?β
Doflamingo looked back at Lily.
Then at Echoβs claws.
Then at Chad stretching his paw like a rubber band.
Then at Che-Ni-Mon accidentally loading another tuna can.
He swallowed.
βNo.β
The pirate blinked.
βNo?β
Doflamingo adjusted his sunglasses.
βWe do not fight the RV Guardians twice.β
That night, the RV Guardian sailed peacefully beneath the stars.
Chad declared victory.
Agaricus updated the map.
Echo got lost walking to the kitchen.
Che-Ni-Mon claimed she meant to hit the platform.
Lily finally got her nap.
And somewhere far behind them, Doflamingo spent the evening trying to untangle himself from his own strings.
