_________ POV Narration_________
News of Doflamingo being attacked by a marine was quickly delivered everywhere, as Viola did her best to bring out an army to fight against the Warlord's numerous forces.
Battles were occurring all over the city while Enel faced off against Pica and Doflamingo.
By the time Enel finished the two of them, the battles were still starting, so Enel was rather pleased with their response time.
It seemed like Viola had prepared for something like this already. The first thing she was planning to do was to make her way towards the arena, to look for her niece Rebecca and hopefully convince the gladiators to help her.
But as she was making her way there, every doll on the streets seemed to be turning back into humans as Enel had already finished off Sugar.
The second the dolls turned back into humans, the public started remembering what Doflmanigo had done, pirates and marines transformed from dolls to humans, and now they all started heading for the palace with one goal in mind. "KILL DOFLAMINGO!"
Doflamingo's forces now had their hands full, as Viola kept making her way towards the Arena.
As she reached the Arena, she surprisingly ran into Kyros who she now could finally remember, her brother-in-law. He was alive, missing a leg, but alive.
Their reunion was rather short-lived though, as Diamante, who had been in the arena and was going to start making his way towards the palace, attacked the two of them brutally.
Viola was almost cut in two, if not for Kyros, who pushed her out of the way quickly.
"Hahaha! Seeing you two royal rats struggle like that is so funny!" Diamante shouted as he figured he'd just enjoy himself in the end.
There was no way Doflamingo would lose after all... And even if Sugar was knocked out temporarily, everything would return to normal, they'd just have a lot more dolls than before.
Diamante licked his blade with a sadistic smile as he then swung it, making it flexible and using it like a whip to slash at Viola and Kyros.
The two of them both jumped to the side, Kyros was lamenting the fact that he had just turned into a human, he had his sword, but he was still slowly getting used to his movements, and Viola was trying to figure her way out of the situation.
"Kyros! To think I'd be fighting the 'former champion' of the arena in the flesh! Too bad you are pretty helpless right now!" Diamante was about to start talking more and more about his enemies, playing mind games.
What he failed to notice was a giant man that had just walked into the battlefield with a large bag on his back.
That tall man was missing an arm and a leg, his orange hair was weird, arranged into three curved sections, and he also had a short, spiky beard. It was none other than Charlotte Oven.
He had been collecting ingredients like Enel had asked him to before the animated puppets he saw everywhere all turned into humans, and the riot started.
He then saw signs of fighting everywhere in the city so he decide to check the nearest ones to him. He was rather curious, and he was confident that he would be able to deal with most enemies without any trouble.
He then saw Viola, he didn't think much about her, but he noticed that she had a Rear Admiral's coat around her shoulders, which made him raise an eyebrow.
'I saw a few marines get turned back from dolls... But that coat seems pretty familiar...' Oven tilted his head for a bit, then he noticed something.
A grease stain on the Justice sign. A bit of sweat filled his brow as he remembered Enel using it as a napkin to wipe his mouth after eating some Sea King meat.
'Yep, it's his...' Oven let out a small chuckle, finally getting the attention of the people involved.
Kyros had already seen him, so he wasn't surprised, the Gladiator only hoped that Oven was not an enemy, as Diamante was already troublesome enough.
And Viola was a bit intimidated, as she realised who the person laughing was.
"Charlotte Oven?! What is someone like you doing here?!" Diamante asked as his eyes widened a bit.
Oven completely ignored him though, looking at Viola and asking. "Hey! The marine that give you that coat, did he have really long earlobes by chance?" He asked as he stretched his legs(well, leg and pegleg) a bit.
Viola's eyes widened, hoping that the pirate in front of her wasn't an enemy of her benefactor.
"Don't bother answering, I know he did. He's not even insecure about them, I don't understand how..." Oven said as he dashed towards Diamante, his fist cocked backwards as he struck the ground where the elite officer had been.
Diamante had managed to slip away from the attack, but the shockwave sent him flying into the wall of the arena, making a small dent in it.
Kyros was relieved that the giant man wasn't their enemy, Viola even more so, making a mental note that Oven was likely an ally of Enel.
"What is the meaning of this!?! Our dealings with the Big Mom Pirates are still ongoing! We aren't enemies!" Diamante shouted as he looked at Oven with a panicked face.
"There's no helping it since that guy got involved, the deal's falling through since Doflamingo won't be around to keep his end of the deal." Oven said as he shook his fist a bit, flicking a bit of rubble around.
"There's no way Doflamingo would lose! Doesn't matter even if his opponent is an Admiral!" Diamante had absolute confidence in his captain, he had no idea that Doflamingo was taken out of the fight in seconds due to his carelessness.
"Ha! Sure!" Oven then stretched his haki-clad arm to grab Diamante, the Elite Officer was quick to bend like a flag in the wind and dodge the attack.
At this point, Diamante was also getting angry, so he decided to start fighting as well.
He turned his sword into a whip once more and started trying to attack Oven as best he could.
Charlotte Oven wasn't intimidated by the undulating sword though, he simply reached out and grabbed it without any issue.
Diamante was a bit shocked, but he should've expected at least that much out of someone from a Yonko's crew...
Then, Oven did as his name implied, and melted the blade entirely using his devil fruit.
Diamante was shocked, letting go of the sword and tapping his hands on the ground, making it unsteady and wavy.
This only served to annoy Oven though, and it wasn't like he was alone. Kyros was also there, and he had a score to settle, as Diamante had been the one to kill his wife, Viola's sister.
The former gladiator dashed towards Diamante, unbothered by the fact that he was missing a leg.
That action alone made Oven somewhat respect him, as he was in a bit of a similar situation body-wise.
Diamante shrieked as he dodged a slash from Kryos, only to be hit by Oven's fist directly and crushed into the ground.
Oven didn't let go of him though, clutching him tightly with his Haki-clad hand and raising him up. Diamante tried to break out of Oven's hand, but was ultimately unable, as Oven's grip was too tight to slip out of.
Oven was about to crush Diamante, but Kyros tapped him on the back, which made him stop for a moment.
"What?" The Yonko Pirate said as he turned his head and looked the much shorter man in the eye.
"... I want to be the one to finish him off," Kyros said with his eyes narrowed, looking at Oven without any fear.
Oven looked a bit at the gladiator, then at Viola who seemed a bit stressed by the whole situation. In the end, he sighed as he dropped Diamante on the ground, finally letting the Elite Officer of the Donqiote Pirates take a breath of fresh air.
"Whatever. Do what you want." Oven said as he walked off to the side, not really caring to get involved any further.
He had only gotten involved because he realised that Viola was likely Enel's associate, beyond that, he didn't care about Doflamingo's crew or anything that was happening in Dressrosa.
"Thank you for the help," Kyros said as he then stabbed his blade into Diamante without any hesitation.
Viola heaved a sigh of relief and continued running into the arena to speak to her niece. Running past Oven and only giving the giant man a look of appreciation.
Oven continued to walk the streets unbothered by whatever was happening in the kingdom of Dressrosa.
