The Princess and The Swordsman (ZoroxOC)

Chapter 80

Pell raised a brow, "Princesses, are these people a couple of those threatening our homeland?" Pell asked. Willow held his hands up in mock surrender, "We're simply here as messengers to invite the Princesses to a little gathering at our mansion." Willow explained, "If you have no objections," Willow trailed off as Pell placed his hand on his sword, "Sorry, I'm afraid the princesses have a prior engagement." Pell mocked, "I see." Ms. All Sunday said. I gritted my teeth and swung on Willow, "Stop screwing with us!" I shouted.

Willow dodged my sword easily, "Now, really. Do you think it's proper for a princess to use such coarse language, dear Ms. Halloween?" Ms. All Sunday said. Willow chuckled, "Why are you so determined to fight us, Princesses? We merely want to bring you to see your precious pirates." he smirked and I froze. Willow chuckled again, "I see that caught your attention, Dear Princess Evie. Yes, your precious swordsman is among them." he confirmed.

"Don't you hurt him!" I shouted as I charged Willow again while Ms. All Sunday was talking to Vivi and Pell. Willow held his hands, "Time, slow." he said and I felt myself slowing down. Once I was close enough, Willow grabbed my arm, disarmed me, and folded my hand to my back as Time picked back up, and I cried out in pain, "Now, calm down, Princess Evie." he said calmly. I glanced away from Willow and looked at my twin, gasping, "Vivi!" I cried as I saw Ms. All Sunday's hand went right through my twin's stomach.

"Damn you!" I heard Pell shout as he transformed and flew towards me and my twin. Willow and Ms. All Sunday both chuckled in amusement as Ms. All Sunday threw Vivi to the ground. I struggled to free myself from Willow, but he didn't break his Iron grip, "If you keep fighting against me, I'll just have to knock you out just like I did on Little Garden." he smirked. I looked at him, "That was you?" I asked and he grinned at me as I relaxed my struggle. Pell suddenly tumbled past me and landed on the roof, "Pell!" I shouted.

I saw Vivi sit up, "Vivi! You're okay!" I said in relief as Pell lifted his head as well, "Princess Vivi! You're alive!" he said, looking at my twin. Ms. All Sunday chuckled, "Did it look to you as if she killed the girl?" Willow mocked in amusement as Ms. All Sunday smiled. Pell glared at them, "Damn you, what did you do?" Pell demanded. Ms. All Sunday smirked, "You ought to lighten up a little. I was only teasing you." she remarked as Willow chuckled. Pell kept glaring at them, "You both have Devil Fruit powers, it's the only explanations! I saw you slow down time, which is how you were able to grab Princess Evie. And you, with the arms you sprouted to take me down." Pell deduced.

"That's right. I ate the Flower Flower Fruit. The power to make body parts bloom like flowers. That is my ability." she said, showing off her power, "My friend here, ate the Control Control Fruit. The power to control Time itself. That is his ability." She added as Willow demonstrated his power by slowing down time around Pell, but not us, "Even with the power of flight, you cannot escape us, for Willow can freeze you in time and my limbs can bloom anywhere."Ms. All Sunday said confidantly.

"Who's escaping? I'm staying right here. And taking vengeance for the lives of Igaram and Prince Kell!" Pell shouted as he whipped out his sword. Willow and Ms. All Sunday both chuckled, "I wish we could stay. We would love to play a few more hands with you, but time doesn't wait." Willow smirked.
