"Jack san..." Doflamingo could not believe his eyes. He witnessed Jack's surrounding, all troops semi-circling him. His confusion and tension arrises as he could not hear any noises from here to there. He could feel something wasn't right. He looked around one more time and slowly makes his way to where Jack is standing still, his smile as skeptically wide as his arms were spread as he says "Jack-san, what a surprise."
"It really is a surprise Joker," His elephant figure started belittling Doflamingo's 10-feet-height even from a far distance, "Most especially, when I was told that you betrayed Kaido-san"
"Whh..What are you talking about... Jack-san," Doflamingo nervously chuckled.
"Is it not true that you were defeated by those two brats from the worst generation, failed to conquer this island completely, protect your position as one of the warlords..." Jack continuously pinpoints all his failures.
Doflamingo could not find any words to counter those, but his stressed mind self-detoriated when Jack mentioned something that widened his eyes even more. "You are a weakling who cannot handle small mishaps. And by that, I mean, weakling at heart. All these times I thought you were one of the most dangerous demons I know." Jack boisterously laughed, "What made you soft, Joker?"
Jack continues his speech, and walk towards the frozen former warlord, smashing anything that comes in his way. "Weren't you told to dispose this whole country after you've healed since you weren't able to do it when you got pathetically, unconsciously defeated by those brats."
"Jack-san, You know I was travelling far from Dressrosa these past few months. The navy started tailing me back as a wanted pirate once again, I had to al-" Doflamingo tried to reason out.
"You did not understand your mission clearly, Joker.", Jack signalled his trunk at one of his men as he stopped few metres away from Doffy and welcomed his guest from the rabble, "Let me get all this straight,"
Viola was dragged out by Jack's men, both arms tied. Doflamingo saw her blood dripping down her head, and her dress was ripped and struggles to hold her shape. She was breathing heavily as she tries to open her eyes to meet Doffy's.
Viola...Doflamingo was biting his lips as if he was biting his own heart. Why are you still here. I told you to leave this island the instant you saw what you intended to see. He started talking to her in his mind. Viola then knew Doflamingo was wondering for answers so she forced her clairvoyance to transfer some of her actual visions to explain why she stayed in the island for another day,
Viola was supposed to leave the first day she went to the palace, but to her surprise, King Riku was attending the wedding of Leo's and Mansherry. She then decided to stay for another day to finally see her loving father, and for some miraculous reasons, she also discovered her dear Sugar, and was able to take her with her.
"Doflamingo. I will ask you this again," Doflamingo turned to Jack, "WHY. IS. THIS. WOMAN. STILL. ALIVE?" His voice was terror to Doffy's ears at the moment, "ALL ROYALTIES SHOULD BE ELIMINATED BY NOW...RIGHT?!"
Doflamingo started shaking and his knees struggled to stand up. His hands reaching, pointing at Viola's painful presence. But another gift was being unwrapped on the other side,
A crying toddler gathered the crowd's attention. Also bruised around the face, clothes were raggedy and her teddy bear, lost an arm. Her blue hair was dragged to the center of the pack, getting closer to Viola.
"Sugar..." Doffy's words whispered just before Viola forced herself to shout at the man torturing Sugar, "LET GO OF MY BABY, YOU ASSHOLE!"
A heavy slap by a crew member kissed Viola's cheek so hard she flew to the ground.
The stunned demon was now speechless. His mind shut. His vision darkens. His senses were slowly diminishing. "Hand me my wife and the kid, right now." Doflamingo's words were plain and calm.
"Did you not agree to kill that woman over the phone to Kaido-san few months ago?" Jack made Doffy remember their dendenmushi conversation while they were on sail.
Huge, thick, strong, and indestructible white threads hastily aimed at Jack's neck, which he managed to dodged by a millisecond. He got slashed and all his men began to panic and positioned themselves to attack.
Jack, in an elephant form, blew his trumpet as his wound apparently will leave a scar as he realized the hit was deep and in need of immediate aid. His guard was down and was enjoying the teasing, and now regretted bullying a short-tempered evil. He decided to flee from the scene. Leaving few of his men, battling against Doflamingo, who has been mercilessly killing all who attacks him, mostly slashing their throats.
He was not making his way closer to Viola and Sugar, who were being taken away by the crew members. "Come back here bastards," His feet were hopping on top of invisible threads trying to catch up, "I did not give you permission to take my family away from me."
Doflamingo figured these inferior men cannot go out of the island because of his bird cage, and did not care less about Jack retreating as he knows their battle would be pointless. However, his smirk fades away when he noticed the shadow of his bird cage was slowly diminishing, and a loud laugh was heard from afar, a solid voice of Jack, "Did you hear me, Joker?! You'll regret this!"
Doffy continued to chase the remaining men in sight and ignored Jack's advise, murdered all who pass by him, his dashing was more in a haste now, finally reaching Viola and Sugar. They were both dropped to the ground the same time their abductors dropped dead.
Viola squealed and extremely exhausted, Sugar sobbing her face on the ground. Doffy picked up Sugar first and carried her to his arms and slowly walked towards Viola. He kneeled down in front of her, Viola sat down and reached for his shoulders, sandwiching Sugar, and hugged him tight. Doffy did not show any expression until he released Viola's hug and noticed her continuous bleeding coming between her legs, "Viola...you're..."
Viola looked down to see the ground soaked in her blood. She sure did have a lot of bruises and cuts, but no wound was huge enough to spill non-stop blood flow. She stiffens and her eyes started to stare at an open space as her hands embraced her belly, "My baby..." Sugar looked back at Viola and wondered what was happening. Doffy and Viola were now looking at each other, and before Viola whimpered, "Our baby...Doffy!"
"Viola?..." A voice approaching from behind gathered their attention. "Is he...the one you..married...?" King Riku asked, supporting his weakened state against a tree.
Viola's tears blurred her vision when she saw her father in extreme shock. She could not find words to say. Sugar climbed down from Doffy's arms and ran towards the king. She hugged his right leg and burried her face.
"And you're bleeding..." King Riku painfully continued his words. The couple were still beside each other in silence. Doflamingo was just as quiet as his mind, while Viola's busy crying while holding her stomach. "And...you had a baby?"
"I think we lost it," Viola cried loudly, "My baby's gone, Father-sama!"
Riku looked down at the little girl embracing his leg while Viola's crying echoes into the streets. Sugar looked up to the king and he saw her face all bruised. He brushed her blue hair and glanced back at the couple. He witnessed something that never in his life would ever imagine. A demon caressing the back of a helpless, hurt, weakened, and broken woman as if it was showing empathy. Right then, he realized that even a cruel man apparently still has human feelings.
King Riku then thought that it was of his no business to even meddle with his daughter's life and decisions. So he released Sugar's grasps and turned his back away from them and just before he took his steps away, "I'm sorry," said Doflamingo, silencing King Riku's world- figuring out if he really did hear him apologize, "...Riku, I'm sorry."
King Riku froze at the words a demon had just whispered so loudly. It felt like a sword stuck through his heart, and a bomb thrown right at him. His eyebrows almost aligned as he tries so hard not to be emotional about it. But even before he could turn down his unacceptable apology, he cannot believe what he said next, "Use my ship and set sail...All three of you. Leave the island. And this time, never come back." Viola's and Sugar's crying stopped as they realized what the king meant. Riku glanced back and smiled with all his heart, "I'll be happy for all three of you to be together,"
"Let's go home," Viola carrying Sugar in her arms and stood beside Doflamingo, who are all now standing at the deck of a large royal ship that was sailing away from Dressrosa. "Away from all these," Viola continued.
First night on the ship.
"Doflamingo-sama! It's time to eat!" Sugar was helping Viola prepare the dinning table. The kitchen of the ship is far bigger than their previous one, back when there were only two of them. There were six chairs and a wide table for dinning and few high chairs surrounding the whole kitchen for other guests. But Sugar's poor looking teddy bear was sitting in one of the high chairs.
"Honey, bring your teddy bear in the dining table. He's eating with us." Viola smiled at Sugar as she puts on the dishes back and forth, "And...you can remove your gloves now, feel free."
Doflamingo went in from the deck. Not a scratch was on his skin but his company suffers with huge bandages covering their feminine skin. He sat right down at the centre of the table and saw a teddy bear on his left side. He didn't say anything. He sat in silence and observes the busyness of his ladies. Doflamingo created a clone of himself in an instant and did the remaining preparation for dinner for Viola. The clone then pulled a chair for Viola to sit down, at the right side of the real Doffy and carried Sugar to her seat and vanished. Doflamingo remained in his seat and Viola grabbed his hand on the table and squished it a little and smiled contently.
Sugar was enjoying the meal, the couple knew she was having a good time when she started humming while eating and her eyes were joyfully sparkly. She looks at her bear every now and then with a bowl of grapes in front of both of them.
Viola stood up a bit and reached for Sugar's bangs that seems to block her view, "Do you like the food?" asked Viola with her lovingly calm voice,
Sugar squealed in excitement, "It's the best!"
Both ladies giggled as if they weren't physically exhausted from all the beating they've gotten earlier. Viola sat back down.
"Are you feeling okay?" Doflamingo asked, his focus was on his food. But Viola knew he was asking her.
"I've never felt this happy, Doffy!" Viola happily answered, she cupped her hand on Doffy's side cheek and turned to another happy figure, Sugar, and that's when she thought her life was complete.
Doflamingo grabbed Viola's hand and pulled her closer and sat her on his lap and burried his face to her shoulder. Sugar grabbed her teddy bear and ran towards them "Me too!". Viola then placed her on her lap and appreciated their warm embrace.
Sugar's clinging attention didn't last long when her grapes were only few inches near her grasps. So she continued munching one at a time, forgetting she was on top of the couple. Doflamingo lifted his face and looked straight at Viola's eyes, Viola can tell how grateful Doffy is too so she kissed his lips and she knew he was wanting it too when he welcomed it and wouldn't let it go.
"I wonder how many beds there are here" Doflamingo jokingly said, as he grinned at the same time as Viola, knowing what each other was thinking.
"I am a big girl, I want my own room now!" Sugar responded. Both Doffy and Viola laughed so loud Sugar got confused if they were mocking her, "I swear I can sleep on my own now! You just have to tuck me in, Viola-san"
"If that's what you want honey," Viola refrained from laughing and responded sweetly.
