Toys were turning into humans, and some were turning into animals, and the town below the palace was beginning to riot. I couldn't even see it, but I could hear it. The window to my right crashed open, and a huge guy with one leg came jumping through. He hopped across the room and I could see the old man, King Riku, sobbing, seeming to recognize who it was.

"You're Kyros, aren't you?!" he cried to the newcomer.

"Yes!" the man strongly confirmed before jumping into the air, coming towards Doffy, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for a decade! Now, I'm here to save you!" He lopped off the Shichibukai's head with a swing of his sword as he said, "I'm here to take back the real Dressrosa!" He landed back on the floor and continued, "For a decade, we have suffered!"

Baby 5 screeched at the sight of Doffy's severed head, and the Fanman screamed, "Young Master!" His attention turned to Kyros, "You bastard!"

When Fanman tried to attack the one legged intruder, Kyros simply held his sword to Fanman's face to stop him. "From now on, I'm gonna rip the mask off of all your deceptions!" he declared.

It quickly turned into a fight that Kyros ended in a flash, defeating both the Fanman and Baby 5. He made his way over to the other side of the room and broke the chains of King Riku's cuffs. Luffy jumped into the room through the same broken window with a woman under his arm. He called out my name, along with Law's as he ran over to our seats.

"The factory! Did you destroy it?!" Law shouted when they were close enough.

Luffy didn't even respond, just kept running over while looking at two keys that the woman with him pulled out. He came up to me first and took a key from her hands saying, "Give me a minute! I'm gonna rescue both of you!" 

"Thanks but the alliance between me and you guys is over! Get out of here!" Law ordered. Luffy looked toward him and stopped trying to get the key into my shackles.

"Huh?! That's selfish of you! I'll make those decisions, not you, so shut your mouth!" my captain retorted. He finally got the key into the hole and started turning it.

I laughed while Law yelled, "That makes you more selfish than me!" My handcuffs clinked and fell from my wrists, making me release a sigh of relief when I felt my strength come back to me. I stood up and looked at the second key in Luffy's hand. "If there's no alliance, we're not on the same side! If you set me free, I'll kill you!"

"STOP MOVING!" Luffy demanded, his hand shaking even more as he tried to bring the key to Law's continuously moving shackles. "It's hard to unlock it since I can't touch sea prism stone!"

"You can do it!" the woman encouraged.

"You guys are not listening to me!" Law complained.

"He's trying to focus!" I yelled at him, motioning to Luffy's scrunched up face.

Luffy wasn't even listening to him then because he was still struggling with the key. I was looking over his shoulder as he tried to get it in there carefully, but it just was not happening. "I can't do it!" he exclaimed, followed by him looking toward the lady in front of him, "Why don't you do it?!"

"I can't! I'm a devil fruit user too!" she replied.

I reached over and grabbed it, crouching down next to Law's seat, "It's fine! I'll just do it!" I carefully moved my hand closer to the cuffs and pushed the key half way into the lock, only to be interrupted by ominous evil laughter. Without even looking, I could tell that it was Doffy. I knew he wouldn't have died so easily, which is why I wanted to get the hell out of here faster. What I didn't expect was to be thrown to the side, key still in my hand, by a weird stone erection coming from the floor. Luffy and the lady got tossed to the side with me. The stone thing turned into what looked like a guy's head.
