Law's POV!
"The girl said it, these bars and this cage are made of sea stone.", a familiar voice answers back, it was Caesar!
"You look so pathetic now Taiga, all of you do... shirorororo...", he says, although it looked like he was in the same position as us.
"Hey! Let us out!", Strawhat-ya shouts, focusing on him now as I looked back at the completely drained Taiga.
"Shut up! Why does everybody give me orders!?", he shouts, I wonder.
"Did he take control over you?", I ask, looking back at him now.
"Yes, he did. A collar and a leash! I feel like a pet! But I'm a great scientist!", he shouts as his answer, showing off his point with a ribbon and the green collar around his neck.
"He said he's a peto-peto fruit eater. And with that power, he can make people obey whatever order he gives. Caesar, is he one of Doflamingo's associates?", I ask, remembering what Taiga had said earlier.
"Are you stupid? If he were here, why would I be held captive still? As far as I know, Doflamingo doesn't have any subordinates like him.", he answers.
"That guy told me he wants to create a dream kingdom of sorts.", he finishes, dream kindom?
"What kingdom?", Strawhat-ya asks, stretching his head over slightly to us.
"How do I know?!? DAMNNIT! It's so humiliating... for me to take that whip guys orders! Screw him!", he answers angrily, Breed's voice comes over the intercom system.
"Caesar... LIE DOWN!!", he orders angrily, making Taiga look over to us tiredly as Breed repeats the order, causing a new bout of complaints from the scientist...

Taiga's POV!!
Tired, that's what I felt. Even though I could hear Breed go off on some kinda tangent, I didn't pay attention, I was just trying to stay awake and look around. I don't keep track of the time as Breed shows up, snagging me by the collar and tossing me on his shoulder like a sack of rice as he ponders what to make the others do seeing as I couldn't move or do much. Some kind of commotion happens but I'm just too tired to pay attention, unable to move much or speak as Breed whips something. I fall to the ground near his feet from the force of his whip, unable to hold on to his shoulder as my hands were tied to my back, before spotting Chopper in an odd pink get up on the ground by me.
"Ch-Chopper... San...", I whisper, unable to laugh in my current state but understanding just how unstable this guy was as he ranted slightly about submitting to my demands or whatever before ordering Chopper-San the get on his knees. Breed starts whipping Chopper-San harshly before spotting me on the ground and smiling mischievously, still not letting up in his discipline as he put it but now aiming at me.
"You brat!! You get punishment for these two slash marks!! Suffer even more!", he cries as I tear up from the pain, my back to him as I couldn't move or even cry out in pain.
"Hey! Stop it! She's hurt already! Just leave her be! Stop hurting my little sister!!", someone shouts, it sounded like Law as I couldn't look up or move but the assault stops.
"Che! Family bonds? Friends? Cut the friend crap... I don't believe in that crap! It's not worth a damn!", he shouts, I fade in and out slightly, unable to see anything or feel much besides the pain on my back...

Meanwhile with Law!
"I HAVE NO NEED FOR INSUBORDINATES!! Everyone should just do what I say without complaint! Worthless humans always stand against me! Just like this little girl here!", he shouts crazily, kicking Taiga once more into the bars of the cage where I get to see the extent of her whips. They bled terribly, probably causing more pain from the kick and landing directly on her wounds.
"But animals... pets are different!! They just follow my orders quietly and submissively! Animals! Pets! They're the best!", he finishes, breathing heavily from his ranting.
"That's why I need you. Caesar. To make... this!", he says, pulling out a smile fruit before answering Caesar's question.
"I'm gonna use this zoan type, man-made devil fruit... to turn humans to animals forcibly! There will be no more detestable, pathetic, humans in the world!", he says, monologuing his plan to us, saying that he wanted a kingdom of sorts, one where he ruled with his devil fruit powers.
"Suit yourself!", Strawhat-ya says, interrupting Breed's maniacal laughter.
"But You can't make me follow anybody!", he continues, looking to Breed angrily before casting a glance at Taiga nearby him.
"What are you talking about?! Didn't you see what I'm capable of with the peto-peto fruit?!", Breed asks loudly, Taiga wasn't moving too much, just enough for me to know that she was alive.
"It means nothing to me!", Strawhat-ya says angrily.
"You stupid human!!", he shouts, using his whip to pull Strawhat-ya up to the cages edge before spotting some words to him.
"But all you Damn humans deserve death after all!", he shouts, snapping his fingers loudly as the cage we were in rises up into the amphitheater type place after he throws Taiga inside with us. I take this time to look over her beaten figure, the blood flowed from each wound on her back, staining the floor in crimson as she huffed on the ground, barely managing to keep her eyes open as she stared at me unwaveringly, looking for comfort in my gaze. Suddenly, the cage around us breaks to pieces and our cuffs fall off, including Taiga's but she still stayed down, her body beaten and worn from today's events. The darkened place we were set in lights up, highlighting the colorful tent like place as I took this time to put in ear plugs. Breed's mouth moves and I see him point to Taiga and Strawhat-ya with a slashing motion across his neck. Doing the same to Strawhat-ya but when he points to Taiga, she stays still, he wanted us to... kill Taiga? She switches between her two animal modes, a despaired attempt at freeing herself before she stops abruptly, tears leaking out of her eyes as her mouth trembles and moves, staring at us unflinchingly. She closes her eyes, her mouth looks like she was shouting
"If it's from Law-onii-San and Luffy-kun, I CAN ACCEPT MY DEATH!!", I could hear her muffled shout, her tears betraying her smile as we stalk up to her. She... she called me... Onii-san, I can't... stop... myself. I tear up slightly before me and Strawhat-ya give Taiga a kick straight to the jaw, sending her flying away in some random direction.
"I'm sorry, Taiga-Imouto...", I whisper, unable to stop my tears as me and Strawhat-ya face each other. His mouth is moving, his body shakes slightly as tears flowed from his eyes, he was probably saying sorry but I couldn't hear him with these damned ear plugs in. Out of the corner of my eye, I spot the fallen Taiga on her back unmoving, her body surrounded by blood, her own blood. Strawhat-ya makes the first move, launching himself towards me with his fists pulled back in a punch as I jump to counter attack with my own fists. We end up stopping each other's punches, Strawhat-ya's making it through before I swipe at him, dodging his round house kicks easily before he launches himself at me again, missing and ending up faceplanting as I jump away. I get caught by a kick to my head which sends me flying away from him as I catch myself as punch him in the face in retailiation. We trade a few blows and kicks, him catching my face in a pinch and I catching his stomach in mine. There was no way I'd win, seeing as Strawhat-ya's power negated any physical pain but I guessed wrong as he too coughed up blood. We stay at close quarters, punching and kicking each other, even as I'm thrown into a pillar.
Strawhat-ya looks like he shouts something angrily before throwing me into another prop, making me retaliate and punch him into another prop. We end up catching each other's punches, forehead to forehead in the fight.
He says something before tossing me away. I get to rest for a moment, only to be interrupted by a flurry of punches by Strawhat-ya. I end up on a trapeze swing to get away from his assault, blocking his punches as I take a glance back at the podium place, taking a kick that sends me flying near the podium itself. Strawhat-ya punches me down mid flight into the ground, sending me rolling painfully on to the concrete floor before trying to stamp me into the floor. I kick him back and catch one of the ropes, catapulting our fight to the top of the podium area where Breed was. I land on the podium, across from Breed as Strawhat-ya punches the platform, causing it to collapse. Freeing Caesar from Breed's grasp and trapping Breed himself in a heap on the floor...

Meanwhile! With Taiga!
Darkness... that's all I could see... am I... dead? No... I felt some pain... at least... I think that's pain... a numbing sensation then...
