Sugar Awakens, the Undying Head Dolls
On the screen, a barrage of disgusting comments immediately appeared: {How... how could he even eat this?! Franky, a true man of steel, ugh.}
{Ugh! My eyes! Why are you showing me this horrible image?!}
{This isn't hardcore at all! These are two freaks!}
{Ugh! That's disgusting! Their moves are so repulsive!}

The Grand Line, somewhere in the sea, the Thousand Sunny.
"As expected, Franky is the most suitable person for this situation, because you're insane enough," Usopp said, making a gagging motion.
"Hey! You pervert, are you praising me?" Franky glanced at Usopp and asked.
"No!" Franky roared at him, retorting.
"Franky, you'd better stay away from me from now on! I don't want to catch his perverted ways," Chopper added.
"Yes!" The others nodded in agreement.
"I... I... me too." Nami, who had been beaten to Luffy by Nami for refusing to return the 100 million Beli, finally handed it over, lay on the deck, struggling to raise his hand and shout.
"..."
Then, the camera pans to the Old King's Plateau.
Usopp listened in terror to the cries of the Dressrosa citizens below who were trying to capture him. He secretly rejoiced that they couldn't climb up so quickly, while hoping that Luffy would defeat Doflamingo soon.
Suddenly, Viola rushed up to King Riku and told him that the Tontatta Tribe from the factory had sent word that they hadn't found Princess Mansherry, who had been imprisoned by Doflamingo.
This message was also simultaneously transmitted to Leo, who was with Robin and the others, via Den Den Mushi.
King Riku pondered for a moment and roughly guessed where Mansherry could still be imprisoned in Dressrosa. He instructed Viola to turn her attention to the Royal Palace and use her Glint-Glint Fruit ability— Clairvoyance— to search thoroughly.
Viola immediately complied, activating her abilities and beginning her search within the Royal Palace.
Meanwhile, Kin'emon, who had been searching for his companions underground, also arrived at the Old King's Plateau. Accompanying him was a tall man with bangs, a pale face, and a longsword with a pen tip.
His character profile quickly appeared. "Kanjuro, a samurai from Wano Country, known as 'Kanjuro Rain'."
Their arrival brought bad news to Usopp and his friends: Kankuro had used his abilities to draw a net between the Old King's Plateau and the ground, allowing the people below who wanted them dead to climb up.
This caused Usopp and everyone else present to completely collapse.
At this moment, Viola, who had been searching for Mansherry throughout the Royal Palace using her abilities, brought good news.
She found Mansherry in a small room inside the chapel deep within the Royal Palace.
She immediately relayed the message to Leo via Den Den Mushi, urging Leo and the others to rescue her.
New World, Green Bit, Underground, Inside the Tontatta Royal Palace.
"So Princess Mansherry is imprisoned in the Royal Palace! Chieftain, should we go and rescue her?!" Bian asked, looking at Gancho, who had a worried expression.
"Yes! Chieftain, let's go rescue Princess Mansherry!"
"That's right, we will definitely be able to rescue her."
"..."
"..."
Hearing the pleas of his tribesmen all around him, Gancho was tempted, but he shook his head and said, "No, it's not the right time yet. My daughter isn't that cowardly. Let's wait a little longer!"
New World, Dressrosa, inside the SMILE Factory.
"Princess Mansherry, so she wasn't locked up in the factory after all! You damned liars!" A Tontatta Tribe Donquixote Family's subordinate before him.
"Fraud."
"Fraud."
"..."
"..."
His words immediately resonated with the other Tontatta, who then hurled insults at the Donquixote Family's subordinates around them.
"Shut up, you bunch of Tontatta slaves! Don't think that just because you've read a little about the future from that God from Beyond the Domain, you can rebel against the Donquixote Family. If you dare to rebel now, we'll kill you and your damned Princess Mansherry together, do you hear me?" A Donquixote Family cadre lashed a Tontatta Tribe warrior with a whip, threatening, "So, you'd better behave and work hard."
Upon hearing this, the Tontatta Tribe warriors could only glare at him angrily before obediently bending down to work. For the sake of their Princess Mansherry, they could only silently endure it for now, hoping that the day when things could change would come sooner.
Suddenly, Viola's panicked voice came from the video feed. Her pupils contracted, and she cried out, "That... that thing... is..."
Upon hearing this, Usopp, who was originally dealing with Kin'emon and Kanjuro, looked at her and asked curiously, "What's wrong, Viola?"
"Sugar... Sugar, she... she's awake!" Violet replied.
"What?!" Usopp exclaimed in surprise, "Hey! What are you talking about? Viola, Sugar has been completely scared out of her wits by my terrifyingly ugly face. She won't wake up for at least two or three days! Are you sure you're not mistaken?!"
"No... impossible. Those things could only have come from Sugar." Viola shook her head slightly and said, "What's worse, the Straw Hat Luffy don't know that such a person exists in the Donquixote Family, and they know nothing about her abilities. Sugar is now fully resurrected! The Straw Hat Luffy are in danger!"
"Huh?" Usopp's eyes widened in surprise.
The next second, the camera shifts to the New King's Plateau, where Sugar inside the Royal Palace is making the same gesture as Usopp.
However, she was terrified by her subordinate's long nose. She is now extremely afraid of people with long noses and has developed PTSD. If anyone with a long nose gets close to her, she will attack them.
Soon, the subordinate with the long nose was turned into a toy by Sugar through her ability, becoming a terrifying giant head-clipping doll.
The scene then shifts to the third level of the New King's Plateau.
Previously, those who had blocked Luffy and his crew's way and were turned into giant head-claw dolls by Sugar all fell to the ground, lifeless.
Seeing this, Luffy and his crew prepared to continue towards the fourth level.
However, the next second, those giant claw dolls stood up again, as if they were immortal.
This completely stunned Luffy and his crew, and for a moment, they were caught in a fierce battle.
