Three Battlefronts, Devil Abilities

At the same time,

The other three battlefields.

"One-Sword Style - E'gang Bird!"

The massive Flying Slash tore through everything in its path, unstoppable! But faced with the blade that cleaved everything in its path, the giant rock face with the cross-shaped mask simply raised its right hand and grabbed.

The hall, constructed of rock, seemed to come alive, with the ground undulating like waves, and countless solid rocks rising from the ground like giant lotus petals to protect the helmet-shaped face at its core.

Although Zoro's swordsmanship is seemingly invincible, it feels like he can't cut through layers of rock. In particular, the walls that are just cut open immediately close up again, prompting Zoro to complain.

"This is never going to end! Can't you just come out and have a proper fight with me?"

"That's a very good thing to say,"

The white doves fluttering nearby calmly spoke.

"They're Devil Fruit user, so they fight using their Devil Fruit ability. As for fighting fair and square—when you encounter a master of hand-to-hand combat, you don't see them using a knife either."

"····I,"

Zoro rolled his eyes. Roman, which side are you on?

"Do you need me to mark the other person's location for you?"

Pica's Guerrilla Warfare tactic of blending into the rocks is indeed a headache for anyone who comes near it, but don't forget that Roman's Observation Haki has 'X-ray vision'! Although it's impossible to clearly 'see' Pica's figure, his general location is still clear.

"No, I'll figure it out myself."

While this 'rock man' who can control the entire palace is indeed a bit troublesome, it's only 'a bit'. It's not to the point where Roman's help is needed.

"Good luck, I believe in you!"

While gracefully flitting about to dodge the flashing blades and shattered rocks, the white doves shifted their attention elsewhere.

"High-speed movement!"

"Walking in the air!"

In front of the House of Toys, Dellinger and Sanji, who were firing at full power, had completely disappeared from everyone else's sight. Only the constantly exploding streets and buildings collapsing out of thin air told the story of the perilous battle!

Both were high-speed fighters and masters of kicking techniques. One wore red high heels, the other black leather boots; one was fierce and ruthless, the other exuded confidence and power; both possessed considerable Haki, and for a time they were evenly matched.

"Thump-thump - Ten tons of Bayes!"

Facing the burly Mahal baz who crashed down, Violet gracefully spun around, futilely smashing a huge crater into the street!

Their battle was a classic case of a fragile assassin versus a heavily armored warrior. One couldn't damage the other, and the other couldn't even touch him. They could only wear each other down and see who would make a mistake first.

There's no need to worry about these two places, so:

The white dove looked to the other side; the third battlefield was very disadvantageous for the Straw Hat crew.

"The Painful Style - The Undying Warrior's Pain!"

Lao G, whose moves were comical in name and action but whose damage was anything but comical, hunched over and passed Chopper. Chopper, who had entered 'Soft-Force Enhancement', spat out a mouthful of blood! He took several hard punches to his waist and abdomen, only managing to withstand them thanks to the powerful defense of his Zoan.

'Soft-Force Enhancement' is Chopper's new skill, which widens his body without significantly changing his height. It enhances his jutsu attack power, making his attacks extremely powerful and fast, accompanied by a shout of "Waaah... cha!"

In short, it's an enhancement of 'kung fu fighting'. However:

"How could a half-baked novice like me possibly compare to 'Earth Sage Fist,' a skill I've been immersing myself in all my life?"

In terms of physical attributes, Chopper, Soft-Force Enhancement ', is no less capable than the aging and frail Rao G. However, when it comes to hand-to-hand combat:

Lao G is Doflamingo's family's 'fighting coach,' and everyone else learned their fighting techniques from him; while Chopper's main job is just a doctor. Even though Roman has been intensively training his fighting skills these past two years, to catch up to someone who's been a lifelong fighting master...

"Huff, huff, huff,"

"Luckily, I don't need Rumble Ball to maintain my normal 'enhancement' mode, otherwise I might have been defeated very quickly, right?"

Chopper secretly rejoiced. Of course, he still had a move called 'Monster Enhancement' —that is, Awakening into a giant Reindeer Man using Rumble Ball. However, putting aside the fact that the state could only last for three minutes, in a 4v4 battle, his giant transformation might actually hinder his teammates' performance.

It seems we can only stall for time, hoping the others can decide a winner first...

It seems Chopper needs to stall for time while others arrive to provide support.

Roman thought so too, so he turned to look at the last battlefield:

"**flash!"

Franky ripped off his coat, and two laser beams shot out from his chest! Whether they were incredibly powerful is debatable, but they were definitely enough to blind anyone—in every sense of the word.

"Diaper bomb!"

Senor Pique twisted his waist and flicked his wrist, launching several star-shaped spherical bombs from his diaper. Whether they were significantly more powerful is debatable, but they were certainly enough to leave one speechless and staring at the sky.

This·····

Forget it, I don't understand this twisted world.

Roman decisively 'switched' to the last battlefield to avoid being mentally polluted if he continued watching.

'This isn't real, it's an illusion!'

'I am the charming and wealthy Cavendish...'

A wobbly toy emerged from the Executive Tower. Only after being turned into a toy did he understand what the toys scattered throughout this country represented. And his fate—

Wake up from this nightmare! I don't want to be a toy for the rest of my life!

Meanwhile, many of the previous contestants had already become toy laborers, moving goods around. Although many of them had originally intended to target this underground arms market, however:

'Are these weapons exported to other countries from here?'

Old Sai's goal is to disrupt this arms market, and now he finds himself in that very place, but:

'Completely powerless, forced to be driven by others...'

'Damn it, I need to find a way to contact Sabo and Koala.'

Hack, the Fish-Man Karate instructor of the Revolutionary Army, was carrying goods; his purpose was also to investigate this place, but:

'I have absolutely no freedom of movement!'

'Damn Doflamingo, I am the King of the Kingdom of Prodence!'

The other contestants were simply unlucky.

'Work as a toy for life? What a joke! Come and save me, hero!'

Amidst the thoughts of a group of arena masters turned into toys—some resentful, some pleading, some desperate—they all understood:

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, these toys, 'forgotten' by everyone, will ultimately face the fate of working themselves to death! With no way to send messages to the outside world, those toys that have been working for ten years will become their role models.

That damned Doflamingo! We are sworn enemies with you!!

Unfortunately, the curse couldn't kill them; their lives were already over. Unless:

"Reporting to Lord Trebol, the 'Ibus Pirates' of the fourth district of the trading port have clashed with us!"

"The other party caused a scene at the port because they were dissatisfied with the transaction amount and demanded to meet directly with their family members."

When the henchman came in to report, Trebol was wearing a cloak with circles on it that resembled a quilt and was disguised as a sleazy fat uncle, stood up.

"Oh, someone actually dares to disrespect 'Joker,' they've got some nerve..."

"Lord Trebol, some of our men are injured. We beg you to come to our aid!"

Trebol nodded at Robin's disguised henchmen.

"Lead the way!"

With Trebol gone, all that remained was Sugar, a 'little girl' wearing a red cloak with a bear-shaped hood and a crown, a single-lens reflex eye, and a bob haircut.

"Very good, Senior Officer Trebol has been lured away,"

Leo, the captain of the Tontatta Tribe, took out a grape and explained it to Usopp.

"Sugar loves grapes the most. He almost never lets them out of his sight. He likes to embed grapes between each of his fingers and then eat them one by one."

"This is our specially made 'Barbasco pepper ball,' which will cause 100% fainting if ingested, and there have even been 18 cases where it nearly killed someone. If we force Sugar to eat it, all the toys will immediately be free!"

"Wow, there's even an experiment."

"We're going in—"

"Okay, you guys go ahead, I'll keep watch for you."

In Usopp's opinion, these Tontatta, though only half the size of a palm, possessed strength and speed far exceeding that of a normal strong man! With their abilities, they should be able to easily defeat a 'little girl'—

However, the truth is:

Faced with the swarming Tontatta warriors, Sugar, who looked like a little girl, simply smiled coldly.

"It seems I've really been underestimated."

With a single wave of her hands, it was as if a hundred-armed Guanyin had blossomed! Countless palm prints filled the space before her. Though they were just small, childlike hands, they were the most dangerous and deadly 'weapons' in this world. If she touched them:

"A teddy bear toy!"

Snap snap snap snap snap snap snap snap—

A group of Tontatta warriors, moving at a speed imperceptible to ordinary people, landed on the ground and transformed into clusters of small bear dolls. Then:

"Obey my commands until you die."

With the 'contract' settled, Sugar, who had just annihilated a group of Tontatta warriors, pointed forward.

"Kill them!"

The remaining Tontatta warriors instantly lost their memory of their 'comrades' and immediately turned their swords on their former comrades! A murderous glint flashed in the eyes of the white dove crouching on the roof.

The 'Hobby-Hobby Fruit' —that ability is truly a bug! It truly deserves the title of 'devil'.

Not only can it turn people into obedient toys, but it can also erase all of the victim's 'memories' from the minds of others. This is far more terrifying than murder; it's a true 'psychic attack'!

Sugar ·····

White Dove lowered his eyes. If Usopp and the others couldn't handle it, Roman would have to kill them!

Even though this is different from the Straw Hat crew's 'style,' it's the only ability that Roman dares not underestimate. And once he makes a move, whether it's the 'Super Electromagnetic Sword' or the 'Tremor Impact,' he will definitely go all out.

"Hey, seriously? Where did that little girl get all those Toy Soldiers from?"

Seeing Usopp's surprise at being 'forgotten,' the white dove closed its eyes.

Roman isn't afraid of Sugar's 'forgetting' ability because as long as he retains his memories of his past life and the other Straw Hat crew, even if Usopp and Robin are affected, Roman can easily deduce that his own 'memory' is faulty.

—Just like now, after a moment of surprise, he realized that those toy bears were a group of Tontatta warriors.

Well, hopefully I won't have to lift a finger...

P. S.: My neighbor's "One Piece: Sky Dragon" had a terrible ending. It brings back so many memories. That book was published around the Supernovas as mine. Back then, it soared to the Sanjiang, becoming a must-read for so many struggling authors! Unlike me, who painstakingly built it up to 300,000 words. The result:

I had only written half of it when he simply threw down an outline, grabbed a bucket, and ran off.

This····

Luckily, I have a good attitude; getting the welfare payment is a success for me. Hehehehehe!!

Since we're on the topic, how about I ask for a vote after all this time?
