(T/N: So, I gave enough time for the voting, I think.

And the winner by majority I would say is the DC story!

It was close between it and Harry Potter. I'll do the HP story after though, and even the others, anyway there will be a poll again, at the end of the new novel.)

Facing the combined attacks of Doflamingo and Fujitora, even Luffy—who had trained hard under Rayleigh's guidance for two years—found himself unable to counter their assault.

Perhaps in another six months, things might be different.

Under Fujitora's deliberate manipulation, Luffy and his crew were forced toward the pier, boarding their ship in a hurry and temporarily retreating from Dressrosa.

"With this, you should be satisfied," Fujitora remarked.

Despite being blindfolded, Fujitora could sense the wild grin spreading across Doflamingo's face.

"Satisfied? Let me tell you something—this isn't over. Starting today, or within the next two months, the seastone supply I provide to the World Government will be cut in half."

Doflamingo strode toward Fujitora with a slow, deliberate pace, his flamboyant pink coat billowing behind him.

"Remember this, Fujitora—if a Marine dies at the hands of pirates due to a lack of seastone bullets, that burden will be on you."

Doflamingo's words were like knives, stabbing into Fujitora's conscience.

His body trembled, his face tense, the purple glow of his Devil Fruit power faintly flickering.

"Do you want to attack me? Go ahead! Strike me, and I'll stop the seastone trade entirely."

Hearing this, Fujitora sighed heavily, his sense of powerlessness deepening.

He was strong, but there were some things even strength couldn't change.

Doflamingo had struck precisely where it hurt—the seastone trade was too valuable for the World Government to ignore.

Taking a deep breath, Fujitora responded stiffly, "You surely jest. How could I attack you? Now, I have something to do. I apologize."

With that, he turned and walked away, silently vowing to uncover the necessary evidence to bring Doflamingo down.

Doflamingo laughed uproariously, watching Fujitora's retreating figure.

"Investigate all you want, Fujitora! You have full freedom to search Dressrosa—I'd love to see what you find!"

It would be a lie to say he hadn't been worried before.

After all, the artificial Devil Fruits he supplied to Kaido were manufactured here.

If the World Government uncovered his operations, Kaido's secret would have been exposed.

But now, with the rogue scientist Caesar dead at the hands of Colt and the factory moved elsewhere, there was nothing left to expose.

What about enslaving the Tontatta tribe?

A joke!

They had been enslaved by the Donquixote Family for generations.

Confident in his invulnerability, Doflamingo laughed.

"Even if you dig up every inch of Dressrosa, Fujitora, you won't find a thing."

As for Trafalgar Law, threatening him with his dealings with Kaido was laughable...

"Fuffuffuffuffu! You think you have leverage over me? I stand as Kaido's equal now!"

He turned to his subordinates, grinning maliciously.

"Send this so-called 'Supernova,' whose bounty isn't even worth as much as his Devil Fruit, to Wano."

"Yes, Doffy!"

Aboard the Thousand Sunny, trouble brewed once again.

Vivi, who had stayed behind to guard the ship, had been taken.

The kidnapper had even left a note, seemingly to ensure the Straw Hats knew who was responsible.

"Nefertari Vivi is now a member of the Big Mom Pirates. We will find a good home for her."

—Charlotte Smoothie.

Upon reading it, Luffy exploded in fury.

"Damn it! How dare they take my friend?! Guys! Let's go save Vivi!"

"Calm down, Luffy!" Carina urged, trying to rein in the crew's growing panic.

"From the note, Vivi isn't in immediate danger. Let me think about this for a bit"

She propped her hand on her chin and thought hard. She was the most knowledgeable of them in these matters.

"I think... I think Big Mom might want her to marry one of her sons and form an alliance with Alabasta."

"WHAT?!" Sanji erupted, flames of rage flaring in his eyes.

"They're trying to force Princess Vivi into marriage?! I won't allow it!"

"Sanji's right! We have to save Vivi!"

"Save Vivi!"

Despite Carina's attempts to keep them level-headed, the crew was single-minded in their determination to rescue their captured comrade.

Dressrosa would have to wait.

However, despite resigning herself, there was a smile on her face. This was what she joined the crew for. That feeling as if they were family.

'Wait for us, Vivi'

Meanwhile, Vivi found herself staring fearfully at two towering figures.

Charlotte Smoothie.

Charlotte Katakuri.

Both were infamous powerhouses of the New World. Katakuri, in particular, was a monster—a user of Advanced observation Haki with a bounty of over a billion berries.

He studied the trembling princess with a frown.

"You want to use her for marriage? Didn't Mother declare that our family no longer needed such tactics?"

In recent times, Charlotte Linlin had undergone a surprising transformation.

She treated her children better than before.

Few knew the true reason behind her change, but those who had been to Wano had an idea.

Regardless, even those unaware acknowledged that Big Mom's shift was significant.

Katakuri was genuinely puzzled as to why Smoothie had taken Vivi.

Smoothie smirked, kneeling and lifting Vivi's delicate chin with her slender fingers.

"She really is a beauty."

She let out a chuckle. "What a waste to let her remain with the Straw Hats."

Katakuri's eyes narrowed. "Are you saying...?"

Smoothie grinned. "That's right. That's exactly what I mean."

She stood; her confidence unwavering.

"Mother's current status is far beneath even Madara not to mention that person, especially with Uchiha Madara holding a grudge against her. But if Princess Vivi ties that person to our Family, we stand to gain a great deal."

Katakuri remained silent, deep in thought.

One thing was certain—things were about to become very interesting.
