Usopp's Rescue: His Amazing Sniping Skills on Display Again
The screen was instantly flooded with a torrent of comments: {Wow! I love this kind of brutal, hand-to-hand combat! It's fucking awesome!}
{I take back what I just said. This isn't some kind of insane duel; it's a clash of tough guys! It's so real and so cool!!}
{Waaaaah, this is what a duel between real men looks like! So manly! It made me cry!}
{ God from Beyond the Domain, I'm more concerned with who that woman named Lucian is. How could she make such a tough Senor Pink like Señor shed tears for her? Please! God from Beyond the Domain, let me see their story!}

In the video, seemingly to satisfy the wishes of the viewers, the camera shifted and began playing the story of Senor Pink and his wife Lucian.
Their story is actually very simple yet beautiful. They met, got to know each other, fell in love, and eventually got married because of a sudden downpour.
However, in this marriage, the husband, Senor Pink, concealed a major secret from his wife Lucian: his identity as a pirate. Because Lucian disliked pirates, he lied to her, claiming to be a bank employee.
This foreshadowed his future tragedy.
Soon after, the couple had a child, whom they named Gimlet.
But soon after, during one of his campaigns alongside Doflamingo and his Doflamingo, Gimlet suddenly developed a high fever and died.
Lucian originally wanted to find him and have him accompany her to the hospital with Gimlet, but she discovered the truth: he wasn't a bank employee at all.
Lucian was doubly devastated by her husband's deception and the death of her child. In the end, heartbroken, Lucian ran away alone on the rainy night when she met Senor Pink again.
Senor Pink had tried to stop her, but she slapped him, telling him to shut up.
Then tragedy struck: Lucian was caught in a landslide and was hit on the head, leaving him in a vegetative state with no consciousness.
This devastated Senor Pink. He tried everything to cheer his wife up and make her smile again, but to no avail.
Finally, by chance, after Senor Pink put on his son Gimlet's children's clothes, he was surprised to find that his wife reacted and laughed again.
This delighted Senor Pink. In order to keep his wife smiling, he decided to maintain his bizarre attire, even if it would invite ridicule from the world. He didn't care as long as it made his wife happy.
Thus, the story of Senor Pink and Lucian was presented to the world.
The screen was immediately flooded with touching comments: {"Waaaaah, he's just a pirate, why does his story make my heart ache so much! Waaaaah."}
{Why, why, God, why do you treat us warriors of pure love like this! Kyros like this before, and now Senor Pink is the same. God, you have no heart! Waaaaah.}
{I'm so upset! I'm so upset! Why do beautiful love stories always end badly? Just like mine, sob sob sob.}
{ Senor Pink a true man, a real tough guy! Waaaaah!}

The Grand Line, somewhere in the sea, the Thousand Sunny.
"Waaaaah, Senor Pink, Lucian!" Luffy, Franky, and the others cried out, wiping away their tears.
"Seriously, this is the first time I've ever seen someone cry for the enemy." Nami rubbed her forehead, looking at them with a helpless expression, and said, "But I wonder when my true love will appear?!"
"Hey! Nami- san, isn't your soulmate right here?" Sanji leaned in, beaming with hearts, and said smugly.
"You... sigh!" Nami glanced at him, sighed, and turned to leave.
Only Sanji remained, first turned into a stone statue, then shattered into Sanji, flying in the wind.
The New World, Dressrosa, on a main street leading to the King's Plateau.
"Lucian, it's so wonderful to see you again like this!" Senor Pink murmured, gazing at the screen. "Thank you! God from Beyond the Domain."
Not far behind him was Rebecca, whom he had captured, being escorted by two Donquixote Family henchmen.
At this point, the camera pans back to the fourth level of the New King's Plateau.
Upon returning, Rebecca was being relentlessly attacked by Diamante with a sword. Although Rebecca was initially able to parry with her knife, she was ultimately no match for Diamante. Moreover, Diamante continued to verbally attack her by bringing up her mother's death.
Finally, after being forced to the edge of the fourth level by Diamante, Rebecca collapsed to the ground.
Diamante was also prepared to deliver the final blow, using the same method she had used to kill her mother, by shooting her with the gun in her hand.
Rebecca stared at the gun pointed at her, her eyes filled with despair, and in her heart she kept calling out the name of her father, Kyros.
Finally, it seemed that her call had an effect. Just as Diamante was about to pull the trigger, Kyros rushed up the barrier stairs, slashed Diamante with his sword, and saved Rebecca. The father and daughter were finally reunited.
Upon seeing her father again, Rebecca was overcome with emotion and burst into tears, unable to utter a single word.
In contrast Kyros, though also excited, tried his best to restrain himself, because he understood that the most important thing for him now was to deal with Diamante in front of him.
However, he assured Rebecca that this would be her last battle, and that he would end it all here.
This naturally drew Diamante's ire, who retorted that this was their doom.
The two quickly clashed.
Just then, Luffy's voice came from below, asking Rebecca to hand him the key.
Behind him followed a head-clamping doll.
Rebecca immediately handed him the keys.
Luffy grabbed the key, but it was too late.
The head-clamping doll had swallowed him, along with Luo, who was being carried on his shoulder, into its mouth.
However, the next second, Luo's voice came from the mouth of the head-clipping doll, "ROOM - Cut."
"Call out!"
The head-clip doll instantly split into several pieces and fell to the third floor below.
Luffy and Law landed smoothly on the ground of the fourth level.
"I've finally caught up with you!" Luffy said, looking at Rebecca.
"Finally free!" Luo Ze said, slinging his sword over his shoulder.
Next, the two turned their gaze to the highest point of the New King's Plateau — the Royal Palace, which was their destination—the location of their enemy, Doflamingo.
So the two of them prepared to head towards the Royal Palace.
Suddenly, Kyros had been locked in combat with Diamante, spoke up, "Sorry, gentlemen! It seems I'll have to use my full strength to deal with this guy, so I'll leave Doflamingo to you two!"
"Yes!" Luffy and Law exclaimed in unison, "Of course!"
At this point, Luffy added, "Then I'll leave this place to you, soldier." With that, the two of them ran towards the Royal Palace.
Suddenly, Luffy seemed to remember something, abruptly turned back, and went to Rebecca's kneeling side. Looking at her, he said, "It's so good to see your father again, Rebecca!"
Upon hearing this, Rebecca was taken aback at first, then nodded happily, tears streaming down her face, and said with a smile, "Yes!"
Luffy laughed along, then thanked him, "Thank you for bringing the key, we're leaving!" With that, he turned and followed Law.
Suddenly, Rebecca's voice came from behind him, "Hey! Lucy, wait a minute, can you really beat Doflamingo?"
Luffy immediately stopped, pulled his Straw Hat down over his head, turned around, looked at her with a bright and confident smile, and said, "I'm not called Lucy, I'm Luffy, the future Pirate King, so you can rest assured about that!"
The New World, Dressrosa, King's Plateau, Inside the Royal Palace.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, you're really confident, Straw Hat Luffy." Doflamingo said with a grim face and murderous intent, "You don't think I'll be as easy to deal with as my crew, do you?"
At this moment, seeing his subordinates being defeated one after another by Luffy and his crew in the video footage, coupled with the impact on reality, had already enraged him. If he weren't still planning and deploying his strategies, he would have already begun to vent his anger.
Suddenly, the Den Den Mushi in front of him rang, and he immediately picked Den Den Mushi up.
A weak, devastating message immediately came from the other end. "Dover, it's me, Vergo... Caesar... he's been taken away by Kaido!"
"What?"
On a main street leading to the King's Plateau.
"Lucy, if what you say is really true, please save Dressrosa!" Rebecca prayed, staring at the screen.
On the other side, in the video footage, after hearing Luffy's words, Diamante was immediately enraged, stating that he would absolutely not Luffy and Law, those two brats, to cause trouble for Doflamingo in the Royal Palace.
He immediately used his sword to force Kyros away, rolled into the flower bushes, picked up the pistol that Kyros had just knocked away, and kept firing bullets at him to prevent him from getting close. At the same time, he imbued his sword with the power of the Float-Float Fruit and slashed towards Luffy and his companion.
Unfortunately, his sword failed to cut down Law and Luffy, as Law used his ability to teleport them away.
The next second, he and Luffy appeared inside the Royal Palace.
Luffy first praised Law's ability for its convenience, then prepared to rush to the top of the Royal Palace to settle scores with Doflamingo. However, Law stopped him, telling him not to act rashly. He then removed the bullet that Doflamingo had shot into his body earlier. Upon discovering it was a lead bullet, Law gritted his teeth and said, "That bastard."
At that moment, a figure walked out of the Royal Palace; the person was none other than Sugar.
Carrying a basket of grapes, she walked harmlessly in front of Law and Luffy, using her childlike body to immediately arouse Luffy's sympathy. Then, she used the basket of grapes in her hands to tempt the gluttonous Luffy.
Sure enough, Luffy quickly fell for it, opening his mouth and letting Sugar's hand holding the grapes approach him step by step.
Just as Sugar was about to succeed, something suddenly flashed before her eyes. The next second, she screamed in terror and collapsed unconscious.
A series of confused comments immediately appeared on the screen: {Huh! What happened? Why did Sugar suddenly faint again?!}
{What just flew past Sugar? How could it terrify him like that?!}
Where did that mysterious item that scared Sugar into fainting come from?!
{Hey! God from Beyond the Domain, give me an answer now! I'm getting ants crawling all over my head!}
{...}
{...}
Soon, the answer was revealed in the video footage; the camera panned back to the Old King's Plateau not long ago.
With Kanjuro's help, Usopp made a giant bullet wrapped in leaves, named -- the Bagworm Star.
Usopp then mounted the specially made bullet in the giant slingshot on the wall, aimed it at the direction of the Royal Palace on New King's Plateau, and with Violet's help, Usopp began searching for the best shooting position.
Although with Zilanluo's help, he gradually saw the outer perimeter of the fourth level of the Royal Palace in the New King's Plateau, he hesitated to make a move, fearing that the bullet might miss and cause him to lose all his memories of Luffy.
Under such intense pressure, Usopp was extremely tense, and sweat poured down his face like raindrops.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up Jianying of Luffy, Law, and Sugar appeared in his field of vision, and he could sense their presence.
This gave Usopp the courage to fire. He immediately released his grip on the slingshot, allowing the Dressrosa residents who had already rushed up from below to pin him to the ground, shouting, "Deadly Kill - Long-Range Bagworm Star!"
"Call out!"
This bullet, specially made by Usopp, shot towards the Royal Palace on the New King's Plateau in a rocket-like motion.
It first shed the first outer shell on the second level of the New King's Plateau.
Immediately after reaching the third level of the New King's Plateau, it peeled off the second outer shell, revealing the bullet inside, and headed straight for the lower left corner of the outer tower window. Then it passed through the window frame and charged straight toward its target— Sugar.
Only then was the true appearance of this special bullet revealed; it was made based on the way Usopp had previously scared Sugar unconscious.
Upon seeing this unusual bullet, Sugar was immediately triggered by a deep-seated trauma, and fainted on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, the specially made bullet silently sank into the wall behind Sugar.
At the same time, a voice echoed in Usopp's mind, "Luffy, you don't need to know what happened. You just need to move forward safely and straight!"
