Underground Dealings, House of Toys
Underground, a secret passage.
"Sorry, this secret passage was built for our Tontatta Tribe and Toy Soldier, so..."
Usopp and Robin were now lying in a 'corpse-like' position, being carried at breakneck Luffy by the incredibly strong Tontatta Tribe warriors! This passage, leading directly from the Flower Field to the Underground Factory, held the last hope of all the rebels in this country, and now:
"Originally, we were just prepared to fight to the death, but with the Great Hero Usopp and others joining us, we will definitely succeed this time!"
"Oh, leave it to me!"
"We're almost there, we're approaching the 'Underground Factory'..."
"So, as cover, I'll have the ground assault troops begin their operation."
As the two sped along the ground, several white doves, also carried forward by the Tontatta Tribe warriors, spoke human language. With Roman providing global communication, the chaotic situation of each person fighting their own battles was avoided.
"Sanji, Franky, Chopper, and Violet, the four of them are launching a surprise attack on the entrance to the 'House of Toys'!"
Although Violet has the appearance of a hot dancer and her Devil Fruit ability seems to be only auxiliary, she has endured hardship and humiliation under the hands of her family's murderer. Anyone who isn't completely broken will desperately try to become stronger! She is, after all, someone who can hold her own against Doflamingo in hand-to-hand combat, so holding off one of his executives for a short time shouldn't be a problem.
Thank goodness.
Usopp secretly rejoiced; the four opposing executives were all "military-minded," while his side only had two "special team" executives. It should be easier than theirs...
"Okay, the exit is just ahead!"
A group of the Tontatta Tribe warriors pushed open the ventilation shaft's gate and made a turn, while the 'human transport planes' behind them, propelled by inertia—
Thump!
Poor Usopp was slammed headfirst against the opposite wall. An ordinary person would probably have died on the spot and could have been put in a coffin and carried away by professionals.
"Usopp, are you alright?"
"I'm fine,"
He crashed headfirst into the wall at 70 miles per hour, shattering the rock! Usopp just grimaced and straightened his hat, continuing his tumbling and rolling journey to the New World. The Straw Hat crew had long since become far removed from ordinary 'humans'.
"Over here,"
Robin, who had already used her "eye-dazzling" ability to scout the surroundings, waved to Usopp. The reason why Usopp's "head-banging" hadn't attracted anyone's attention was because:
"Hurry up!! Get these weapons back, or our country will suffer a defeat!"
The bandaged armed men pushed the mutilated Beli, broken jewelry, and even bloodstained gold teeth in front of the Donquixote Family's staff, then, with bloodshot eyes, picked up new weapons and rushed back to the battlefield.
"This is the price. If you keep haggling, this deal is off!"
"Damn it, if it weren't for 'Joker's' sake, I would have already...!"
The pirate captain, while uttering threats, reluctantly pulled out money to buy crates of weapons and banned drugs to sell to war-torn countries. —The line between pirate and merchant is often blurred.
As for how many innocent civilians these weapons will kill, and how many soldiers will die suddenly while these banned drugs bring them great power?
What does this have to do with me? We don't produce anything; we're just porters of 'war'.
Bargaining, knives Fire Pistol, tattooed arms, fierce eyes—this massive underground port is filled with naked violence and bloodshed! If it weren't for the intimidating presence of 'Heavenly Yaksha,' a scene of paying with bullets would probably have already unfolded.
"This... this is simply..."
Usopp stared in disbelief at what he saw. Who would have thought that beneath the seemingly 'peaceful and prosperous' Dressrosa lay such a scene?
"What a massive arms deal!"
Robin couldn't help but marvel at the sight of the massive sailing ships moored in the nearby harbor. Ships constantly set sail laden with 'cargo,' while others entered the Underground Harbor, only to disembark a group of men with bloodshot eyes and murderous auras.
The cycle of haggling, intimidation, and violence continues...
"Our target is the anemone-shaped Executive Tower in the center of this underground port. Our target, 'Sugar,' is hiding inside, with one of the senior executives Trebol, providing close protection."
"As long as—"
"Hey! Who are you people?"
Two of Doflamingo's henchmen walked over. Seeing the flustered Usopp and the calm Robin, their first reaction wasn't that it was an enemy invasion, but rather that it was a pirate wandering around trying to gather information!
It must be said that this is indeed the case.
"Didn't we say that you're not allowed to wander around except for negotiations?"
"Which pirate crew are you from? Believe me or not, we'll reduce your trade quota—"
Just as Robin was about to use her powers to shut them up, the Tontatta Tribe warriors who had been hiding in the corners and behind boxes rushed out at high speed, stripping the two henchmen naked in an instant, and then:
"Tontatta War Dance!"
"Sharp Tail Heavy Hammer!"
Thump! X2
In an instant, half of the bodies of the two henchmen were smashed into the ground, leaving Usopp in shock.
I never knew you guys were so cute, yet so ruthless...
However...
"Great, with these two sets of clothes, we can easily blend in."
In hidden corners of the entire port, pairs of eyes and ears appeared out of nowhere, and a flood of information from across the port poured into Robin's mind, allowing a plan to take shape at lightning speed.
Don't forget, Robin spent over a decade navigating the Underworld, and infiltration and assassination were originally her forte. It's just that joining the Straw Hat crew left her with no 'opportunity,' so today is the perfect time to put her skills to use.
On the ground, on the main street.
"Is this the 'House of Toys'?"
Sanji took a drag of his cigarette and looked at everything before him:
"How enviable... cough cough, how hateful! To deceive so many young women..."
It was a fat man, wearing a pink baby hat, sucking on a pacifier, and wearing a yellow diaper with star patterns, lying on a sun lounger.
He waved impatiently at a group of beautiful young women in swimsuits who were showering him with attention.
"Stop bothering me all the time, you little brats!"
"Go find younger men to celebrate your youth."
"No, Senor ~~"
"I'm not interested in little girls!"
However, the more this man acted this way, the more the girls in swimsuits around him were captivated.
"What is this pervert doing?"
Upon hearing Franky's words, Sanji, Chopper, Violet, and even the white dove perched on his shoulder all turned their heads to look.
You, who run around in just swim trunks, have no right to call others perverts. However:
Senor Pique is a tough, ruthless man who values loyalty and righteousness, has compassion for the weak, and is not good at deception.
Pity,
Men fear choosing the wrong career, and women fear marrying the wrong man.
Senor Pique became a pirate, and even became a subordinate of a ruthless figure like Donquixote Doflamingo.
His wife Lucian, hated pirates, so he lied to her, saying he worked as a bank clerk. During a sea battle, their son, left at home, fell critically ill with a high fever, and Lucian, repeatedly going to the bank to inquire, was always told "no such person found."
When Senor Pique returned home, he was met with his deceased son and a wife on the verge of collapse. Faced with his wife's questions about his work and how the family's money came about, Nior Pique was speechless, while Lucien, who vaguely guessed the truth, stormed out of the Lucian.
Then, the second tragedy struck.
Lucian was struck on the head by a rock from a landslide, leaving her in a vegetative state, unable to speak or respond to anything. To bring a smile to his wife's face, Senor Pique tried everything, until:
His wife smiled at the baby clothes.
And so the world lost a cold-blooded gentleman and gained a pervert dressed as a baby.
"I'll take care of that pervert!" x2
It can be said that Franky and Senor Pique are the same, tormented by guilt from the past, turning the once passionate young man and cool gentleman into 'perverts'.
"Then, I'll take care of that short guy."
Sanji flicked his cigarette ash and looked toward his target.
According to Roman's intelligence, the boy wearing a baseball cap with Sea Beast Fighting Fish pattern representing Dressrosa in the center, an earring in his left ear, a long-sleeved shirt with giraffe patterns, hot pants, white stockings, and ten-centimeter dark red high heels, is the strongest among the high-ranking officers.
"Wow, big brother is very confident."
With a grin revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth Dellinger uttered terrifying words.
"I'll kick your legs off, pull out your intestines and wrap them around your neck, then hang you all on that pirate ship!"
"Then I'll deal with this old man."
Chopper, in his half-beast form, looked at the bald old man who was trembling all over, wearing a tight-fitting training suit, and looked as if he might ascend to heaven at any moment.
It wasn't that he wanted to emulate Usopp's "punching the old folks' home in the south and kicking the kindergarten in the north," but rather that this old man named Rao G possessed a "Combat Fist" technique, according to Roman's intelligence, that could instantly restore youth. Faced with such a high-burst opponent, Chopper, with his superior physical resilience, naturally stepped up.
"Violet, you have indeed betrayed us."
The last officer was a muscular man with long curly hair, a black hat, a ribbed bodysuit that exposed his chest, a tattoo of the Doflamingo Pirates on his right arm, and a lot of chest hair.
"Betray?"
In response to the words of the man named Mahal baz, 'Violet' Violet simply lifted her skirt and stepped forward on her toes. What appeared to be an elegant dance move was actually the starting stance for a battle.
"I have never been 'loyal' to you, so how could I have betrayed you?"
"No need to waste words with them, let's take them down first!"
Contrary to his aged appearance, Rao G has a fiery temper when he gets into battle.
"Then hand it over to the young master for disposal, G!"
Shouting his catchphrase, the old man was the first to rush forward like the wind! And with one move affecting the whole situation, the 4V4 battle between the cadres was instantly ignited.
