The Tontatta Exposed
In the video footage, Usopp and his friends finally manage to reach the island with Caesar's help. The first thing they see is a variety of huge, exposed plants.
However, Doflamingo and Fujitora hadn't appeared yet, but they still discovered a warship bound by plants. Analyzing the minor damage to the hull, they concluded that—
This warship only arrived recently, but somehow it got stuck with plants!
In other words, it's possible that some naval forces have already arrived here, and the arrival of other naval forces is only a matter of time.
This immediately made Usopp and the others, who hadn't initially planned to have any dealings with the Navy, feel uneasy.
Caesar was the most devastated, wailing, "What? Has the deal been exposed? I've never heard of that!"
"Idiot scientist, your voice is too loud!" Usopp stepped forward and shoved him to the ground, complaining.
"Hey! I'm a wanted criminal!" Caesar scrambled to his feet, glaring at him. "My boss— Doflamingo —has already resigned from his position as Shichibukai. The law can no longer protect me!"
"Leaving me handcuffed on this naval island is practically asking for my death..."
Before he could finish speaking, Usopp grabbed him by the collar and said, "Shut up!"
But he continued shouting to himself, "No, wait! Doflamingo is just an ordinary pirate now. I'm in grave danger! This place is hell! Ugh!"
Fearing he would attract the Navy to the island, Usopp stepped forward and punched him, which calmed him down a bit.
On the screen, a torrent of comments had already appeared: {Wow! Doflamingo not only resigned from the throne, but also from his position as one of the Shichibukai! This... this is truly rare!}
{This... just how important is this guy named Caesar to Doflamingo? Did he take a bullet for him, or something? That Doflamingo would go to such lengths for him.}
Although he's a pirate, it's truly touching that he was willing to give up his position for his subordinates. Doflamingo is definitely a good boss! It seems there's still loyalty and camaraderie in the pirate world!
{How strange! If Doflamingo wasn't Shichibukai, then why did the new Marine Admiral team up with him to fight Trafalgar Law? Shouldn't they have just arrested them all? It seems there's more to the story!}

In the video footage, after learning that there might be Marines on the island, Law immediately suggested that Robin and Usopp go into the forest to investigate. If anything was amiss, they were to contact him immediately, while he would stay behind and wait for Doflamingo to come and make the deal.
Robin immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "Okay! I understand!"
Usopp complained, "Wait, the presence of the Marines here is completely unexpected!"
Despite saying that, he still went into the forest with Robin to investigate.
However, Robin strolled leisurely, while he was sneaky and flustered.
Even so, he didn't forget to remind Robin, saying, "Don't stray too far from me! Otherwise, I won't be able to protect you!"
Hearing this, Robin smiled and said, "You sound really reliable, Usopp."
The two of them then wandered through the forest, one after the other.
Suddenly, Robin, who was walking ahead, stopped. Usopp bumped into her and said in surprise, "Don't stop suddenly, Robin!"
The next second, a man's voice came from ahead, "Who is it? Is it the Straw Hat Luffy Pirates?"
These words startled Usopp, who almost cried out. Robin quickly gestured for him to be quiet, and he calmed down.
The two immediately looked ahead and saw a group of naval soldiers standing on an open grassy area. They were holding guns and looking around in fear, saying, "Where? Where are we?"
"Come out here and surrender obediently, Straw Hat Luffy Pirates!"
"We know you've come to this island."
No sooner had they finished speaking than a rustling sound came from the grass beneath their feet, followed by a male voice, "You've got the wrong person! I'm Leo."
This startled them greatly, and they shouted around, "Who are you? Where are you?!"
"Are you good people or bad people?" the male voice rang out again, addressing them.
"We are naval soldiers, soldiers who protect civilians, of course we are good people!" the naval soldiers replied.
"Then hand over your weapons!" the male voice said.
"We can't give you the weapon; we have a mission to complete." The group of navy soldiers refused. "Who are you? Show yourself now!"
As he spoke, a sailor pulled the trigger of his rifle, and a bullet was immediately fired, startling the birds in the forest.
"Is this your answer?!" the male voice said unhappily.
The next second, a dark figure flashed past the group of marines, and then they noticed that one of the marines was missing his cloak.
However, before they could search, another dark figure flashed past them, and some of them were unarmed again.
In an instant, countless dark figures swept past them, and things kept disappearing from them. Before long, the group of dark figures had stripped them naked.
The group of naval soldiers immediately stripped naked, shouted, and ran out of the forest.
This scene left Usopp and Robin, who were watching the spectacle from the sidelines, completely stunned.
"W-what happened?" Usopp asked in surprise.
"I don't know! It was too fast! I didn't see it clearly." Robin shook his head slightly and said.
Just then, a smug male voice rang out, "Now you know how powerful we are, you bad guys!"
As he spoke, a dark figure leaped from above into the bushes below.
Robin spotted this immediately, leaping out from behind the bushes, arms crossed, and shouting, "A Sea of Flowers in Mil Fleur!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Arms emerged from the ground, forcing the dark figure that had jumped into the grass to come out and grabbing it.
"Got him!" Robin exclaimed excitedly.
"What did you catch?" Usopp asked.
Robin said in disbelief, "Hmm... it seems to be Tontatta!"
As she spoke, Robin quickly ran to the arm that was grabbing the shadowy figure. The next second, a short man who looked like a rhinoceros beetle appeared in front of her.
The next second, his character introduction immediately appeared. "Tontatta Kingdom, Tontatta, Insect-Insect Devil Fruit User, Rhinoceros Beetle form - Kabu."
