Straw Hat Pirates With Rimuru

Ch 16 : Defeat!! (⁠'⁠◉⁠⌓⁠◉⁠'⁠)

Dressrosa: The Aftermath of the War

With Doflamingo defeated and the birdcage dissipating, the people of Dressrosa emerged from the ruins, disbelief etched on their faces. The once-colorful island lay in shambles, but the oppressive strings no longer bound it.

Luffy , rimuru and Law's Collapse

As the dust settled, Luffy collapsed to the ground, reverting from Gear Fourth. His breathing was ragged, his body bruised and battered. Law limped over, equally exhausted, his injuries catching up to him.

"We finally... did it," Luffy muttered, his voice barely audible.

Rimuru, standing beside them, nodded, his calm demeanor hiding the strain of the battle. "Doflamingo's down, but we're not done yet. The Marines are still here."

(25 minutes before Doflamingo Defeat)

Sabo vs. Burgess

Elsewhere, on the outskirts of the city, Sabo clashed with Burgess. The towering Blackbeard pirate growled, his massive strength shaking the ground with each blow.

"Straw Hat's down, and so are your chances," Burgess sneered, aiming a devastating punch at Sabo.

But Sabo, wielding the power of the Mera Mera no Mi, countered with a fiery barrage.

"Luffy's my brother," Sabo declared, his eyes blazing with determination. "I'll protect him, no matter what."

With a final, searing Flame Dragon's Claw, Sabo sent Burgess flying into the rubble. The Blackbeard pirate groaned but retreated, realizing he stood no chance against the Revolutionary Army's chief of staff.

Usopp and Robin Rally the People

Back at the royal plateau, Usopp and Robin were tending to the injured alongside the Tontatta warriors.

"Hey! Someone bring more bandages!" Usopp shouted, his usual bravado replaced by genuine concern.

Robin gently reassured a group of crying children, her calm voice soothing their fears. "It's over now. You're safe."

Leo, the Tontatta warrior, saluted Usopp. "God Usopp, your bravery has inspired us all! We'll do everything to help rebuild!"

Usopp, despite his exhaustion, forced a grin. "That's what a hero does, after all!"

Franky and the Tontatta Warriors

Franky stood among the ruins of the Smile Factory, his massive arms folded. "Guess that's the end of this little operation."

The Tontatta warriors cheered around him, celebrating the destruction of the factory that had enslaved so many of their comrades.

"We couldn't have done it without you, Franky-oniisan!" one of them shouted.

Franky grinned, striking a ridiculous pose. "Super! Now let's get to rebuilding this place, Frankie-style!"

With help of Kin'emon and kanjiro Franky defeat punk and destory the building.

Kin'emon and Kanjuro Reunite with Momonosuke

In the underground port, Kin'emon and Kanjuro finally found Momonosuke, who was trembling but unharmed.

"Finally ended!" Kin'emon cried, dropping to his knees and bowing. "!"

The reunion was brief, as the group hurried to join the others on the surface.

They drink sake along with all the straw hat.

Rebecca's Farewell to the Battlefield

Rebecca stood silently beside Kyros, her eyes fixed on the ruined city below.

"You fought well, Rebecca," Kyros said, his voice filled with pride.

Rebecca shook her head. "I only did what I had to. But... this isn't over, is it?"

Kyros placed a hand on her shoulder. "No, but we've taken the first step toward freedom."

Fujitora's Justice

The Marines, led by Admiral Fujitora, began rounding up Doflamingo's remaining forces. However, the blind admiral's attention was focused elsewhere.

He knelt in the streets of Dressrosa, bowing deeply toward King Riku and the citizens.

"I... apologize," Fujitora said, his voice solemn. "As a representative of the World Government, I bear responsibility for what you have suffered."

The people were stunned into silence. King Riku approached, his expression conflicted. "Admiral Fujitora... this is not your fault."

Fujitora shook his head. "It is the fault of a corrupt system. I promise, this injustice will not go unanswered."

The Straw Hats Regroup

As the dust settled, the Straw Hat crew reunited at Kyros' home. Luffy was carried in by Zoro and Sanji, his injuries too severe for him to walk.

Chopper immediately began tending to everyone's wounds, barking orders. "You're all reckless! You think you can just fight like that and walk away?"

"I did walk away," Zoro grunted, though his bandages said otherwise.

Rimuru sat nearby, his expression thoughtful. "You all really do put everything on the line for each other. It's... inspiring."

"Of course!" Nami said, smiling. "That's what it means to be part of Luffy's crew."

---

The Day After

The morning sun rose over Dressrosa, its light revealing a city in ruins but filled with hope.

King Riku addressed the people from the palace balcony, with Rebecca and Kyros at his side. "Today, we begin to rebuild. Not just our city, but our spirits. Dressrosa will stand strong once more!"

The crowd erupted in cheers, their voices carrying a renewed sense of freedom.

Fujitora's Decision

As the Straw Hats prepared to leave, Fujitora approached them at the harbor.

"Straw Hat Luffy," he said, bowing slightly. "Thank you for what you've done. But I cannot turn a blind eye to your status as a pirate."

Luffy grinned, despite Chopper scolding him to rest. "Bring it on, old man. But next time, we're fighting for real!"

Fujitora chuckled. "Perhaps. For now, I'll turn a blind eye... literally."

Setting Sail

The Thousand Sunny set sail once more, with the Straw Hats, Law, and Rimuru aboard. Dressrosa faded into the distance, the crew's spirits high despite their injuries.

"What's next?" Luffy asked, stretching despite Chopper's protests.

"Whatever adventure comes our way," Rimuru replied, a faint smile on his face.

And with that, the Straw Hats embarked on their next journey, the bonds of their crew stronger than ever.
