Kuja
The Marines had surrounded the place so Eustass's crew were the first to come out to fight and Kid said that the others could stay inside since he can take out the Marines alone.
That offended Law, Luffy and Ace. They were going to show Kid that they were stronger than Kid.
-You guys can stay back, I don't need your help.- Luffy said, crossing his arms.
-I thought I told the three of you to stay back, huh?- Kid clicked his tongue.
-If you try to order me about one more time, I'll take you out first, Eustass-ya.-
-You three should be the ones to back off and leave things to a fighting expert like me.- Ace said.
-... Idiots.- Kira muttered with a sigh.
They continued to argue during the fight while Natsu watched all of this.
-Ah... Youth.- Natsu said stretching out his arms.- Let's go Zeref. Let's leave the rest to them.-
-Sure.- Zeref nodded while a magical barrier protected them.
The two said goodbye to the rest and left the place with slow steps, as if they were walking through the garden of their house. By the time they reached shore, they spotted someone unexpected.
-Kizaru...- Natsu murmured.
Kizaru, with her usual smile, greeted them as she continued to lean against the boat.
-Heeeelloooo Naaaatsuuuu.-
-I don't feel like fighting you.- Natsu said with a sigh.- Compared to Akainu's magma, your light doesn't taste good.-
-You're the weirdo that can eat the enemy's attack.- Kizaru said with a chuckle.- Besides that it is my duty as a Marine to fight and capture the pirates. Sooo...-
-What do you say if I try to bribe you?- Natsu asks moving his eyebrows.
-And how do you want to bribe me?- Kizaru asks, looking at him with narrowed eyes while she continued smiling.
Natsu looks at Zeref and he pulls out a very small bag. He had used magic on that little bag to expand the space inside of it up to ten times the original size. From there Natsu took out a picture of Marco the Phoenix.
-If you pretend you haven't seen us, I'll give you this photo of Marco taking a shower.- Natsu said showing her the photo.
This photo he got from Thatch, before the incident with Teach.
-I can't capture criminals I haven't seen.- Kizaru said looking to the side as she extended her hand.
Natsu smiled before handing her the photo.
He met Kizaru a few years ago at a bar. She was drunk as she complained to Akainu about how sexy Marco looked and how sad she is because he is a pirate while she is a Marine.
(Akainu's face was darker than squid ink, but he still put up with Kizaru's complaints.)
One thing led to another and Natsu ended up becoming friends with this relaxed woman.
Akainu muttered under his breath things like they shouldn't hang out with pirates because they're Marines and the like, but it didn't help much.
Kizaru met Natsu and Zeref several times and whenever Natsu and Zeref want to avoid attracting attention, Natsu would give her a photo of Marco that he gets by paying Thatch.
Speaking of Thatch... He's recovering pretty well. Good thing Zeref's healing magic has improved with practice. Dealing with so many Amber Lead Syndrome patients for 3 years until Law ate the Ope Ope no Mi and fully healed the survivors of Flevance really helped.
It's a shame Teach escaped, but at least he doesn't have the Yami Yami no Mi and he won't be able to steal powers from others.
He has enough experience with reincarnation stories in novels or otome games to know the effect that canon has on the world.
He remembered a story where the protagonist is an agent who is invoked by the resentment of the secondary characters of the worlds created from the novels. In one of those worlds, the novel is not finished and the power of the canon was possible to force the agent to follow the canon.
Or a one-shot manga that you saw where no matter what the protagonist does, the otome game's proofreader will keep the story on its original course.
He can't help but be worried.
(The first story refers to "King of the Phoenix" a Chinese manhua while the second is a one-shot anthology story called "Though I May Be a Villainess, I'll Show You I Can Obtain Happiness!".
I highly recommend you these two stories.)
He wish he could prevent such a catastrophic event... He can only pray and hope.

The Straw Hats, Hearts, and Eustass were about to escape when Kuma cut them off.
-Fuck!!!- Rosinante yelled with a pale face when he saw him raise his hand.- Guys! Hold onto someone!!! He will teleport us!!!!-
The fight was a mess with everyone trying to keep a grip on the others groups disappearing, but no one disappearing alone.
Eventually only Sabo, Ace and Luffy remained scattered and panting, desperately trying to dodge the increasingly frantic attacks.
They all started to disappear two by two or more until Kuma reached Rosinante and he hugged Ace, who was nearby.
-Ace-ya!!! Cora-san!!!- Law yelled before the two were teleported away.- NOOOOO!!!-
-TORAO!- Luffy stretched out his arm and managed to grab Law before they were teleported away.
The moment Rosinante opened his eyes with Ace in his arms, she knew immediately where he was.
In Impel Fucking Down...
Shit.
Rosinante saw the Impel Down guards point pistols at him.
This is not going to end well.

Law opened his eyes and noticed he was in an unknown place... And naked!!!
-Luffy-ya!! Wake up!!- Law moves Luffy, who was sleeping next to him also naked.
-The man has awakened!!-
-Let's see, let's see!-
-I want to see too!!-
Luffy yawned as he stretched.
-It moved! Look, no chest at all!-
-Such a ruggedly unusual beast...-
-It lookd so weak with that short, scruffy-looking hair!-
-Torao?- Luffy was still half asleep.- Where are we?-
-... I think we're in... Amazon Lily...- Law muttered as he tried to better cover himself with the blanket and glared at the women.
-Eh? That crazy island that Natsu-nii told us about?-
Law sighed and nodded grimly.
He hates this place...
