HOLY CRAP THIS IS A LONG CHAPTER! Lots of stuff happens in it. Probably the longest chapter I have ever had for any story, over 7,000 words long!

So, since Ruffy is pretty much an OC, even if he is supposed to be Luffy's twin, there are going to be sarcastic moments about the plot that I just couldn't help but voice. Especially during the fight that will happen between Katakuri and Luffy, I added a lot to that fight to not make it boring. It won't happen for awhile, but I hope those who read this look forward to it! There were part sof this chapter that were hard to write, like the Vinsmokes vs. Charlottes as it was difficult to add in Luffy to that part, but I hope it ends up okay. Enjoy~

Ruffy was only out for a few seconds before Katakuri was there, ignoring all the enemies as he shoved mochi into his son

's bleeding ear canals. He opened his eyes, breathing heavily and wincing in pain.

"Are you alright?!" Katakuri screamed to be heard through the plugs and the wailing from Big Mom. Ruffy shakily nodded his head, but still wasn't able to stand up under the haki. He was still conscious, but he wasn't strong enough to move through it like Katakuri was. Yet even he couldn't move anymore and had to hold his hands to his ears.

By the time Ruffy was awake, the Straw Hats had broken the Vinsmokes out of the candy and given them their raid suits along with ear plugs. Ruffy was the only one with ear plugs in on his side, but his sense of hearing was too extreme that it was as if he were one of the other children listening to the scream. So, he was immobilized as well.

The culprits and accomplices were all staring at Big Mom as she cried, and looked excited when they shot rocket launchers at her. Ruffy didn't know why they thought that would work. And it didn't.

Horror dawned on the enemies and during just a small burst of her cries and conquerors haki, Katakuri was able to make his own earplugs and then distribute them to the others. It was hard for them to take their hands away from their ears while Big Mom screamed, but once they were in, the game was on again.

This time Ruffy was the only one still immobilized, and couldn't do anything around him. He was helpless as he tried to stand, so Katakuri made a sling on his back and stuck his son ungracefully in it. Now he was out of harm's way, and wouldn't be taken out easily lying on the ground.

After all, there were still bad guys around, and in particular, the Vinsmoke children had wanted to fight Ruffy in dragon form. Would they be so despicable that they'd attack him while he was a sitting duck? Well, that's what they tried to do to them. So who knows?

Ruffy could barely hear anyone, or what they were saying, but could see by Bege's face, that their plan had failed. Whatever they tried to shoot at Mama, she had not been killed or even injured by.

Bege's horror and fearful expression dawned on all of the pirates and Vinsmokes that wanted to kill Mama, and they each knew they were screwed. Then they tried to run. None of them had any way to fight back now that surprise was lost and the Big Mom Pirates weren't mobilized.

To say they were each having a very bad day was an understatement, as their escape plan failed as well. Finally, gaining back to favor in the fight concerning the position they were in, the Charlotte children went after them. Walking slowly was all they needed to do, as the enemy pirates had no backup escape plan.

Ruffy wished Mama would stop screaming already so he could do anything but be carried on Katakuri's back. It was embarrassing, but his family knew what was wrong. How super enhanced senses can suck.

At least Flampe wasn't around. And he worried about what had happened to Pudding after he left her. Had one of the bad guys gone back and hurt her when no one was looking? Or did she betray? Ruffy honestly couldn't decide which one was worse or better.
