On the streets of Dressrosa, many people stood still.

Someone was carrying a flower basket.

Someone was pushing a van.

Someone was leading Toy Soldier that couldn't speak.

The toys also looked up at the Sky Screen.

Former retainers of the Riku Royal Family are hiding in a commoner's house.

Kyros stood in the shadows, only able to grip a small gun in the body of Toy Soldier.

A little girl Rebecca is pushed around and forced to look up outside the Corrida Colosseum.

She saw the words "Dressrosa" on the Sky Screen, and bit her lip until it turned white.

On the Royal Palace terrace, Doflamingo waved to the officers behind him.

"Everyone stay in your positions."

Diamante said, "Over at the arena."

Doflamingo said, "As usual."

Trebol said, "What if the Sky Screen continues to talk about Sugar?"

Doflamingo turned his head.

Trebol lowered his head.

Doflamingo said, "Bring the Sugar to me."

Deep within the Royal Palace, Sugar held a bowl of grapes, and for the first time, her face showed no trace of her former capriciousness.

She asked, "Young Master, will it continue to speak of my abilities?"

Doflamingo said, "Perhaps."

Sugar said, "Can I turn them into toys?"

Doflamingo looked up at the Sky Screen.

"Now the whole world knows it doesn't matter who you become."

Text appeared in the Sky Screen.

[Typical Event Two: The Change of Throne in Dressrosa]

[The Shichibukai involved: Donquixote Doflamingo]

[Systemic loophole: The overlap of the Shichibukai identity and the former Celestial Dragons identity creates reverse coercion against the sovereignty of the Affiliated Nation]

Marine Headquarters Plaza.

When Sengoku saw the words "former Celestial Dragons," his face darkened.

The crane said, "It wants to talk about that matter."

Garp asked, "Which one?"

Tsuru said, "Doflamingo forced King Riku to abdicate."

Akainu said, "Why didn't the Navy intervene?"

The crane looked at him.

"Because the World Government has recognized the new king."

Akainu's hand rested on the brim of his hat.

"Another admission."

Kuzan said, "Legitimate documents can always cover up the blood."

The Sky Screen began to play.

Ten years ago.

Inside the Dressrosa Royal Palace, King Riku sat on his Throne.

Doflamingo entered the hall.

His officers stood on either side.

King Riku said, "The Donquixote Family has been gone from this country for eight hundred years."

Doflamingo said, "That's why I came back to take it."

King Riku said, "Dressrosa now belongs to the people."

Doflamingo laughed.

"The people will drive you out of power themselves."

The scene shifts to nighttime.

Doflamingo used strings to King Riku's body, causing him to lead his soldiers into the town.

King Riku's sword slashed at the commoners in the street.

He was crying out in the video.

"Run!"

But his body didn't stop.

On the streets of Dressrosa, an elderly resident stared at the sky, his face deathly pale.

Someone dropped their bread on the ground.

That night, the king told us to flee.

"We thought he had gone mad."

"So he'd been telling us to run away the whole time."

Rebecca listened to the voices around her, and tears streamed down her face.

In the arena, some people couldn't bring themselves to utter a single curse.

Kyros stood in the alley, his shoulders shaking.

The toy's body doesn't have tears.

He could only look at the Sky Screen.

In the scene, Doflamingo appears as a savior.

He defeated the controlled King Riku.

He opened his arms to the people of the city.

"I've come to protect this country."

Subsequently, the World Government's recognition document appeared.

Donquixote Doflamingo reclaims the throne of Dressrosa

[His Shichibukai remains valid]

[Dressrosa's transfer eligibility is reserved]

Inside the cabin in Sabaody, Nami slammed her fist on the table in anger.

"You can admit to this?"

Robin said, "The World Government needs his dark channels."

Sanji said, "He's both a king and a pirate."

Zoro said, "And act as a middleman."

Usopp asked, "What will happen to the people here when they find out the truth?"

Luffy looked up at the Sky Screen.

They'll be angry.

Chopper said, "But why does that toy keep crying?"

Robin glanced at the one-legged Toy Soldier that flashed by in the corner of the screen.

"That might be a person."

Usopp's face turned pale.

Are toys people?

The text on the Sky Screen changed.

[Additional Question: Why is no one remembering the missing persons from Dressrosa?]

[A, World Government destroys household registration]

[B, The Donquixote Family's Secret Execution of Rebels]

[C, The Hobby-Hobby Fruit ability turns people into toys and erases everyone's memory of their existence.]

[D. All of the above events occurred, but the core reason is C.]

The entirety of Dressrosa was eerily quiet.

A woman looked down at the toy dog beside her.

"Who are you."

The toy dog's body began to tremble.

It opened its mouth, but could not utter a name.

A little boy is holding a puppet.

"Mom, have I forgotten someone?"

The puppet raised its little hand and gently touched his head.

Rebecca looked at the one-legged soldier beside her.

"Soldier."

Kyros did not turn back.

He knew that Sky Screen was about to reveal the most cruel part.

Inside the Royal Palace, Sugar smashed a bowl of grapes on the ground.

"Young Master."

Doflamingo's fingers twitched a few times.

"Shut up."

Sugar said, "Will they remember?"

Doflamingo said, "If the Sky Screen Veil Judgment ability is ineffective, they will..."

Trebol exclaimed, "Then let Sugar turn everyone who sees them into toys first!"

Doflamingo turned to look at him.

Trebol dared not say anything more.

Doflamingo said, "The Sky Screen has laid the whole world before her."

"Whom do you want her to touch?"

The countdown to answering the questions has ended.

[Correct answer: D, all of the above events occurred, but the core reason is C]

The video plays.

Sugar reached out and touched a member of the resistance.

That person turned into a toy.

The memories of her companions were erased.

The wife sat down at the table with the food in her bowl, suddenly forgetting why she had brought an extra set of chopsticks and a bowl.

The child asked his mother by the bedside if someone was missing from the house.

The mother shook her head blankly.

The toy father stood outside the door, watching them through it.

He cannot say his name.

The Sky Screen divided this scene into countless fragments.

Toy transport weapons in the factory.

The toys in the Port were carried in wooden crates.

The losers in the arena were dragged underground.

They were transformed from human beings into objects, and then forgotten by their loved ones.

On the streets of Dressrosa, cries could be heard coming from house to house.

Where is my husband?

Where is my son?

Why could I forget her?

Rebecca looked at the one-legged soldier.

Who exactly are you?

Kyros put down his gun.

He turned to look at her.

Rebecca.

He only said one name.

Rebecca shook her head, crying.

Why can't I remember?

Text appeared in the Sky Screen.

[Dressrosa Memory Lockdown, determined to be a large-scale personality deprivation]

[The Hobby-Hobby Fruit's power causes continuous pollution to historical records.]

[Temporary system fix begins]

Doflamingo looked up.

"Hello."

Sugar's face turned pale.

The next moment, Golden Light fell upon Dressrosa.

[Temporary fix: All basic existence records erased by the Childlike Hobby-Hobby Fruit will be restored after ten minutes]

On the street, the woman suddenly covered her mouth.

She looked at the toy dog beside her.

"Shu?"

The toy dog was kneeling on the ground.

The puppet in the child's arms cried.

"Dad."

The child cried too.

"Dad!"

Rebecca looked at the one-legged soldier.

The memory returned to her mind.

Scarlet, the mother, collapsed in the rain.

The man who carried her as he ran.

The person who taught her swordsmanship.

The soldier she had called "Mr." for ten years.

She knelt on the ground.

"Father."

Kyros stood before her; the toy was very small.

His voice, however, carried throughout Dressrosa.

"Rebecca, I'm here."

On the Royal Palace terrace, Doflamingo's laughter paused for a moment.

Trebol said hastily, "Dover, should we start over after the Sugar is neutralized?"

Doflamingo said, "The Sky Screen is watching."

Sugar took a step back.

A new judgment was then made by the Sky Screen.

[Target of Punishment: The Donquixote Family, Sugar, user of the Hobby-Hobby Fruit]

[Punishment 1: The memory erasure effect of the Hobby-Hobby Fruit will be publicly recorded; the name of any person affected will be automatically added to the Sky Screen Backup]

[Punishment 2: For the next seven days, any new toy transformations within Dressrosa will have their locations marked worldwide.]

[Punishment 3: Countdown to the reveal of the coordinates of the Donquixote Family's underground factory]

Doflamingo looked up.

The coordinates of the underground Port began to appear one grid at a time.

The sea area where the Beasts Pirates are located.

Kaido looked at the sky, and stopped holding the gourd of sake in his hand.

Jin stood to one side.

"The Joker's factory is about to be exposed."

Kaido low voice, "He had better give me an explanation."

Doflamingo watched the countdown.

"Fufu."

"This is troublesome."

The text on the Sky Screen changed again.

[Additional Question: What are the core items produced in the Dressrosa underground factory?]

[A, Ordinary Weapons]

[B, Seastone Weapon]

[C, Artificial Devil Fruit SMILE]

[D, Poneglyph Rubbing]

Trebol screamed.

"Dover!"

Doflamingo's lines shattered the stone railing at the edge of the terrace.

He looked at option C.

I didn't laugh out loud the first time.
