Luffy Plays by His Own Rules, Pica's Terrifying Ability

In the video, the camera shifts to Luffy and his crew. Dressed in animal costumes, they encounter no obstacles along the way and soon, guided by the Tontatta Wicca, they arrive at the foot of the King's Plateau.

Of course, there was a little mishap along the way: Zoro somehow separated from Luffy, who was Luffy with him, and they went in the wrong direction.

Fortunately, with the help of Wicca, the Tontatta had always been by his side, he was finally able to reunite with them.

Looking at the elevator so close at hand, Luffy initially wanted to use force to snatch it away, but was stopped by Vika, Tontatta. Wicca explained that even if they managed to take it, it would cause a riot, and then the enemies would swarm in.

Fortunately, at that moment, a person appeared before them, offering to take them into the King's Plateau.

This person is none other than Violet.

Zoro recognized her immediately, because she had previously taken Sanji away, allowing him to rescue Nami and the others.

Meanwhile, Zoro's words made Kin'emon, who was standing nearby, understand something, and he asked her if she had given the factory map to Sanji!

Violet nodded, indicating that she had done all of this.

This greatly puzzled Kin'emon and the other two, who asked her why she did this!

Violet told them that she was Doflamingo's subordinate.

Hearing her say that, Luffy and his companions were immediately startled. Fortunately, at that moment, Wicca jumped out and told them that she was only pretending to be one of Doflamingo's Doflamingo, and that her true identity was the princess of Dressrosa.

Inside the Corrida Colosseum Dressrosa.

"Viola, you've had a hard time all these years!" King Riku said with a pained expression.

Inside an abandoned factory.

"Princess? Nobody's called me that for years!" Viola said wistfully.

A riverbank somewhere.

"Viola? Don't worry, I will soon put you and King Riku back in your rightful places." Kyros clenched his fist and said.

Then, the video feed shifts back to the secret base beneath the Flower Field, where the One-Legged Toy Soldier begins to recount everything that happened after Doflamingo stole Dressrosa. He didn't kill King Riku because he had his eye on the princess at the time— Viola, or more accurately, her power— the Glint-Glint Fruit.

So, the two made a deal: Doflamingo spared King Riku, and she joined them, becoming his subordinate— Violet.

The next second, the scene shifts again, and Violet Luffy and the others to a hidden door King's Plateau. There is a passage leading directly to the outer wall tower of the Royal Palace, which is the emergency passage passed down through generations of the King Riku family.

Soon, with Luffy's help, they quickly arrived at the outer tower where the Royal Palace entrance was located using a cargo trolley.

However, there were guards at the entrance. Just as Violet was about to guide Luffy and the others to another secret entrance, Luffy rushed out and took down the gate and the guards with a single punch.

This left Violet and the others completely stunned, but Luffy, brimming with pride, declared to them, "I opened the door!"

"What the hell are you talking about?!" Zoro cursed angrily.

Violet said helplessly, "This is really too reckless!"

But then, she changed her tone, "Fine! Since that's how it is, there's nothing we can do! Let's go! Since things have come to this, it's faster to break through from the front." With that, she took the lead and ran towards the door that Luffy had 'opened'.

Zoro and Kin'emon immediately followed.

On the screen, a barrage of speechless comments immediately appeared: {That Straw Hat Luffy, he really loves to mess around! How has he even lived this long?!}

For some reason, I suddenly feel a bit sorry for Trafalgar Law! It must be tough for him to be allied with someone who acts on his own whims!

{It's not the formidable opponents you should fear, but the incompetent teammates! Being teammates with someone like Straw Hat Luffy is the worst luck imaginable!}

{Holy crap! That's really simple and brutal! But this move by the Straw Hat Luffy is going to expose himself!}

Meanwhile, in the video footage, Luffy and his crew, who charged straight into the Royal Palace, naturally ran into Doflamingo's men who were guarding the Royal Palace. However, they were quickly and easily dealt with by Luffy and his crew.

Since Kin'emon was going to the Toy House to find his companions, he and Wicca, a group of Tontatta were also going to participate in the SOP Operation Plan, split up with Luffy and the others!

Luffy and his crew quickly reached area B-1 via the stairs inside the outer tower of the Royal Palace.

Unexpectedly, they had only taken a few steps when the surrounding walls suddenly began to move. Then, a huge stone face appeared in front of them, followed by a giant made of stone who stepped out of the wall, glaring menacingly at Luffy and his companions.

"Oh no, it's Pica!" Violet exclaimed in surprise.

"Wow... it's huge! Who is this guy?!" Luffy asked.

"Be careful, he's the highest-ranking member of the family," Violet explained. "He's Pica, a rock-assimilated being who ate the Stone-Stone Fruit."

At this moment, his character introduction immediately appeared. "Pica, the highest-ranking member of the Donquixote Family and Devil Fruit User."

"Human? You don't look human at all!" Luffy asked Pica curiously, "Are you really human?"

To everyone's surprise, Pica ignored him and instead raised his hand to punch them, but Luffy and the others dodged it with a leap.

Luffy immediately retorted angrily, "I don't care who you are, highest or lowest-ranking officer! I'm going to beat up Doflamingo! Get out of my way!"

As he spoke, steam rose from his body, and the next second, he appeared in front of Pica in a flash. "Rubber-Rubber-JET Machine Gun."

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Luffy's fists rained down on Pica, instantly obliterating him.

Luffy then landed on the ground with a relaxed expression and said, "Alright! Got it! Let's go!"

With that, he took the lead, stepping over the rubble and running forward.

Zoro and Violet immediately followed. On the way, Zoro couldn't help but complain, "This was way too easy!"

To everyone's surprise, the ground shook violently again as soon as he finished speaking. The pile of rocks that Luffy had blasted into rubble came together again, reforming into the shape of Pica, and reappeared in front of Luffy and his companions.

"This guy is really troublesome!" Luffy his fist, glaring at Pica blocking his way, and said angrily.

"The highest-ranking members of the family aren't so easily defeated," Violet reminded them.

"Looks like this guy isn't some ordinary stone statue!" Zoro said seriously.

"Yes!" Violet nodded and said, "He can assimilate anything he touches. In other words, this stone Royal Palace we're in now is completely under his control."
