The Meeting to Bring Down Doflamingo
The Holy Land, Mary Geoise, Fleet Admiral's Office.
"The Dressrosa toy, since it's a human in disguise, it seems Doflamingo has been hiding a lot from the World Government all these years! Then what happened with King Riku back then, it's very likely he was behind it all. That's practically usurping a kingdom! We have to expel him... No, no, he's still Shichibukai, I can't touch him, and those higher-ups won't let me." Sengoku picked up the Den Den Mushi, but quickly put it back, then picked it up again, caught in a dilemma. Finally, he sighed helplessly and said, "Sigh! We can only make things difficult for the people of Dressrosa for now! It's not the right time yet!"
With that, he put the Den Den Mushi back.
The New World, Dressrosa, King's Plateau, Inside the Royal Palace.
"Damn that God from Beyond the Domain, he actually revealed this!" Gladius roared. "He's ruining the young master's grand plan!"
As he spoke, the hat he was wearing suddenly burst open.
"Eek! Who says otherwise!" Dellinger covered his mouth, displeased. "However, I still don't understand. Logically speaking, under Sugar's Devil Fruit ability, that One-Legged Toy Soldier shouldn't have any self-will, so why can he still act on his own? It's really strange! Eek."
As soon as he said this, everyone present, except for Doflamingo, turned to look at Sugar.
"How would I know?" Sugar said innocently. "I make a contract with anyone I touch. How would I know how he escaped?!"
"Could it be that you've forgotten?" Machvise asked.
"No, impossible. In my memory, there has never been anyone who hasn't signed a contract with me." Sugar shook her head, stating firmly.
For a moment, everyone present, including Doflamingo, fell into deep thought, speculating about the identity of the One-Legged Toy Soldier.
Within the town.
"Huh! The toy is human? And it was His Majesty the King who did it? No, that's impossible. His Majesty the King wouldn't lie to us. It must have been that God from Beyond the Domain and the One-Legged Toy Soldier who messed things up." The citizens of Dressrosa looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.
However, even so, when they looked at the toys around them again, a different look appeared in their eyes, and a seed of doubt had been quietly planted in their hearts.
Then, the video shifts to Green Bit — within the Tontatta Kingdom.
Usopp and Robin were surrounded by the Tontatta, who treated them like stars around the moon.
Taking this opportunity, Usopp quickly asked them why they were fighting against Doflamingo.
The innocent Tontatta immediately replied that their purpose was to rescue their compatriots imprisoned in the factory by Doflamingo, as well as the imprisoned princess, Mansherry.
Upon hearing that their purpose was roughly the same as their own, Usopp and his companion were immediately taken aback.
Then, seemingly to answer the world's question about why Usopp and his companions were so respected by the Tontatta, the scene shifts back to a short time ago, when Usopp had just been captured by the Tontatta.
At first, he was also very flustered, until he saw a sculpture, and then he lied to them, saying that he was the descendant of that statue and the hero who had come to save them.
At that moment, the camera focused on the sculpture, which resembled Montblanc Noland.
On the screen, a few scattered comments immediately appeared: {Only Tontatta could believe such obviously fabricated lies!}
Usopp from the Straw Hat Luffy Pirates, he really knows how to lie so easily! I wonder where he learned it from.
{A factory? I've heard that name so many times already! Why are the Straw Hat Luffy and the Tontatta so interested in this thing? Is there something shady going on inside?}
{Hey! Isn't that the statue of the Noland? I never imagined he was the savior of the Tontatta! That's so unexpected! Wait, I remember his stories mentioning the Tontatta, and not only that, but also the existence of the City of Gold. Now the Tontatta have been confirmed! Does the City of Gold really exist?}

The Grand Line, the Victory Hunter.
"That statue is... of our ancestor! I never imagined he'd traveled to such a faraway place! Truly remarkable! But it's not good to casually claim someone else's ancestor, kid," Kulikate chuckled.
Then, the camera pans to show Usopp and his companion, at the invitation of the Tontatta, traveling through their secret passage to their secret base in the Flower Field region of Dressrosa.
On the way, Gancho, the chief of the Tontatta who emerged from Robin's chest, told Usopp and the other man an ancient secret of their tribe: the feud between their tribe and Doflamingo did not arise in recent years, but could be traced back nine hundred years.
However, before the chief could finish speaking, they arrived at the secret base beneath the Flower Field and reunited with Franky, so the chief didn't have time to say anything more.
Because a meeting to subdue Doflamingo has officially begun.
The One-Legged Toy Soldier, acting as the team leader, gave a speech.
He stood in the center, addressing Usopp and the other Tontatta around him, and said, "Today's battle is to reclaim the honor of King Riku, who was forced to abdicate ten years ago under duress, and to fight for the freedom of all of us."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Doflamingo on the tactics board, "That day, this man came to this country, plundered everything, and committed all sorts of atrocities. I will never forget this humiliation."
"We've been preparing for this earth-shattering battle for a full year. Even if our enemy is a pirate crew of Shichibukai, we have a chance of winning."
These words immediately drew enthusiastic cheers from the Tontatta.
But what no one noticed was that Usopp himself, though looking serious, was actually sweating profusely!
On the screen, a series of questioning comments immediately appeared. "Nine hundred years ago? I never imagined that the feud between these Tontatta and Doflamingo's clan would last so long! But how were they freed? That damned old pervert!"
{ King Riku? I remember him being a cruel ruler, right? Why are those One-Legged Toy Soldiers and Tontatta so eager to restore his reputation? Is there something else going on here? That damned old pervert.}
{It seems that what Doflamingo did to Dressrosa didn't just turn humans into toys; there must be something much bigger coming. This is going to be interesting! That damned old pervert.}
Although they seemed very enthusiastic, for some reason, I had a feeling that they couldn't succeed with their current strength unless they got help from the Straw Hat Luffy Pirates. But would the Straw Hat Pirates, being pirates, help them? That damned old pervert.
