Curse Broken, a God Is Born

People's physical constitutions cannot be generalized.

Usopp's physique... is truly incredible, and unlike others, he's practically guaranteed to get injured in every battle! He'd be embarrassed to call himself 'seriously injured' unless he had a few broken bones, yet he'd be bouncing around again in a few days, leading Roman to suspect he possessed some kind of 'super-fast regeneration' talent. Therefore:

The Amplified Sound Shell was released right in front of Usopp, it was like taking a 'stun grenade' face-first into the face like a pirate version! Although Usopp had earmuffs to weaken the sound waves, unlike Sugar who had a giant metal doll to block them, he took all the damage head-on.

The vast difference in their willpower is evident; Usopp remains steadfast, while Sugar is already beyond saving.

Of course, she never had the chance to get up again. Because:

"Freezing Breath!"

The white dove opened its beak and spat out a burst of cold air that instantly enveloped the unconscious Sugar, turning it into a block of ice!

"Four-Dimensional Pocket!"

As a lower-ranking fruit than the Castle-Castle Fruit, the Bagu Bagu no Mi cannot hold living things, but it is perfectly fine for holding frozen, seemingly dead Sugar.

"Considering that if the 'Hobby-Hobby Fruit' falls into the hands of a strong individual, it could create another Four Emperors like the 'Toy Kingdom.' Therefore:"

The World treatment is something you deserve!

Like those who, through your power, die silently in the junkyard, without even a weeping relative, forever sinking into darkness!

As the white dove swallowed the ice Sugar, the surrounding noise grew louder and louder! Because:

"Ah, I'm back to normal!!"

"Hey hey, hey, how lucky..."

"Great! This feeling of being powerless—"

"Ten years! Ten years! Doflamingo, I will never forgive you!!"

One by one, the toys transformed into arena masters, former soldiers of Dressrosa, naval officers, government CP Agent, and even nobles from various countries... Over the years, all the opponents captured by the Donquixote Family have become forgotten toys. And many more...

"Waaaaah, I'm back to normal!"

"I'm not dead yet? Sugar, you demon, I'll take you down with me!!"

In the vast toy 'junkyard,' a handful of figures rose to their feet. The majority remained forever as broken toys, their cold eyes wide open. Even with their powers gone, they would never return.

"Sorry, Dover~~~"

Trebol's panicked voice came through the crying Den Den Mushi.

"Sugar was killed by the Straw Hat crew Pirates!"

!?

Meanwhile, the surveillance camera nearby was showing Sabo eating the Mera Mera no Mi. Doflamingo's seemingly rock-solid power was rapidly sliding into the abyss of 'defeat'!

He suddenly remembered all the forces that had encountered the Straw Hat crew, no matter how powerful or invincible they had been before, they had all been utterly defeated and destroyed by these arrogant fools...

Is it his turn now?

No!

"Absolutely not, "Doflamingo said, his forehead veins throbbing, yet he remained calm and began issuing orders.

"Trebol, return to the palace!"

"Notify Diamante and tell him to come back immediately as well!"

The Mera Mera no Mi has already been eaten, what's the point of fighting in the arena?

"Get Rao G., Dellinger, Mahal baz, Senor Pique back from the House of Toys!"

Doflamingo is one of the few villains in this world whose intelligence remains consistently high, unlike other bosses who won't even show their faces until all their subordinates are eliminated. The moment he realized the situation was spiraling out of control, he immediately summoned all his subordinates to the palace.

"Don't panic. What storms haven't we weathered?"

Even though he was so angry he felt like his blood vessels were about to burst, Doflamingo, as the leader, patiently calmed the troops down as soon as possible.

"We've survived the pursuit of Vice Admiral Tsuru of the Navy and the World Government's CP for so many years, but they're just a bunch of pirates! Everyone, gather at the palace, regroup, and wipe out these trash. Let them see the power of the Donquixote Family!"

"Yes, young master!!" X10

With a leader in place, the other officials quickly recovered from the nationwide riots, abandoning their respective adversaries and rushing towards the palace. They believed that with Doflamingo's leadership, they would surely overcome the current situation.

Splash—

However, at that moment, a tall figure suddenly crashed through the palace window and rushed in!

He was a resolute and robust man with a head of black hair that stood on end, his physique like the most perfect sculpture: his body lines were perfectly proportioned, full of violent beauty! Dressed as a gladiator, his bright red cloak billowed as he brandished a longsword!

"Doflamingo!"

Although he only had one leg, his pounce was filled with a surging, iron-blooded aura! Like a terrifying beast tearing at its prey, his wild and fierce nature was imbued with a competitive and invincible killing intent.

"Give me your life!!"

With a single swing of his longsword, there was no Haki, no special abilities, just pure power! Pure rage! The not-so-sharp gladiator's heavy sword cleaved Doflamingo's neck without hesitation, instantly decapitating him.

Clean and efficient

One-hit kill!

Just as Law, who had teleported in shortly after, was dumbfounded, Luffy, looked at 'Doflamingo', who had been beheaded with a single sword strike, and patted his Straw Hat:

"It's a puppet."

Roman had used this trick countless times during his sparring sessions.

!?

Snap,

In the arena, watching Sabo eat the Mera Mera no Mi and unleash a Fire Fist that shattered the already ruined arena, bringing light to the darkness below, Roman turned to look at Rebecca had suddenly knelt down beside him.

"Hmm, now is not the time to cry, is it?"

"I····"

"I just remembered,"

Raising her head, Rebecca, her face streaked with tears, couldn't suppress the sadness, joy, or regret welling up inside her.

"I also have a father!!"

······

"Isn't this normal? Is there anyone who can live without a father?"

"No, no! Mr. Neo."

Rebecca wiped her face, but tears still streamed down her face as she gripped her longsword, her shoulders trembling.

"I... I never even thought of this before!"

Rebecca wasn't stupid. Just looking at the audience members who had been toys before, but suddenly transformed into people and their loved ones embracing in anguish, how could she not guess the truth?

"Soldier, soldier..."

' Rebecca, you're just a little girl! Going to the arena is suicide, I won't allow it—'

Just today, earlier:

"The soldier is the one who wants to die! Does your plan even have a chance of succeeding? And why are you saying all this now? You're not my father!"

Rebecca had her first argument with 'Mr. Soldier' and said something unintentional.

"I'm sorry, Father."

"Waaaaah, I shouldn't have talked to you like that..."

Looking back now, what did I say! 'Mr. Soldier' was my own father—

"Well, although I don't want to interrupt your sorrow."

Roman pointed to the chaotic arena and the henchmen of Doflamingo who rushed out to try to 'maintain' order.

"But there are more important things to do now, aren't there? — All tragedies are due to a lack of power." It's more realistic to expect Roman to challenge the Four Emperors than to expect him to comfort the girl.

"Kill the enemy first, whether they cry or laugh."

Brush,

Roman's figure flashed, and he leaped towards the deep pit that appeared beneath the arena that Sabo had blasted down.

"There's plenty of time!"

But if you lose, the corpse has no right to cry.

"Mr. Neo is really strict,"

Rebecca stood up, caught the tissue that floated in front of her, wiped her face, and then her beautiful expression turned serious.

That's right, now is not the time to cry. We must fight on!

"Waaaaah, Usopp! You got so hurt because of us..."

A group of Tontatta surrounded the heavily injured Usopp, tears streaming down their faces. Judging from the extent of his injuries, it would be perfectly reasonable for Usopp to die on the spot in that state.

"We will definitely erect a large bronze statue for you! Because you are our—"

"Great Hero!!"

Faced with the cries of the Tontatta, Usopp tremblingly raised his thumb.

"Everything... is... under the control of this hero."

Indeed, this wasn't based on luck. It was a genuine tactical victory, without a trace of deception!

"So cool!!"

"You must be the Tontatta?"

A giant hand reached down and grasped Usopp in its palm.

"Can I borrow this man?"

If we say that the Tontatta are only half the size of a palm in front of ordinary people, then Usopp, an "ordinary person," would only be half the size of Hajrudin, the giant warrior.

To Hajrudin Tontatta, the difference between a normal person and an ant is stark.

"Were they beaten like this to save us?"

Hey, hey, hey, don't move me!

"I heard some people have been treated like toys for ten years. It's hard to believe how desperate they must have been. If it weren't for you, we would have ended up like that too, right?"

Faced with Hajrudin's sincere thanks, Usopp, whose face and head were covered in blood, was speechless.

'Can't you see how badly I'm injured?!'

However, Hajrudin took Usopp's arms and lifted him up like a 'cross'.

"Soldiers, look carefully!"

"This is the man who freed us from the curse; his name is:"

"Usopp!!"

As Hajrudin spoke, the ceiling behind him suddenly exploded with a deafening roar, and flames and light rained down! The crowd in the arena who looked up at Usopp were stunned.

"This... this is also..."

At the same time, fluttering white 'feathers' fell down, making Usopp, covered in blood and with his eyes rolled back, look like a saint descending!

"It's so... so sacred!!"

"It's simply a miracle! Could this man be someone sent by God to save us?"

Ah, this...

Roman, who had just disintegrated into pieces and fallen, looked at the arena crowd with expressions that said, "Brothers, come see God!" and was speechless at this massive "Usopp-like" scene. However, regardless, Usopp's injuries needed to be treated as soon as possible, so:

Splash splash~~

The fluttering white paper wrapped around Usopp from both sides, like 'wings'!

"Oh my gosh, she really is an angel!"

"Nonsense! It's clearly a god..."

"Thank God for the salvation!!"

·······

Whatever makes you happy.

"This hero... will... guide... you..."

Usopp murmured intermittently, and with his current expression, he looked like a saintly figure guiding the crowd. Not to mention the other barbarians whose heads were full of muscles, even Cavendish and King Riku were shocked.

However, what Usopp actually wanted to say was:

"Put this hero down right now! I'll be crippled if you keep this up! Your fingers are hurting so much! Does my bloody face excite you?"

"... Will this hero guide you?"

"As expected, you are our savior! Give the order, God-Lord Usopp!"

?!

Not to mention Roman, who turned into paper and wrapped Usopp up, even Usopp himself was completely bewildered. Fortunately, he had plenty of experience in 'bragging' and quickly realized what was going on.

"Hoo~~hoo, listen up, everyone,"

"Help my companions and wipe out the Donquixote Family!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh, I obey the divine decree!!"

"The Donquixote Family? Just what I'm looking for—"

"Kill them! Cut down those bastards who enslave us until not a single one is left!"

As a group of furious and high-spirited warriors charged out from all directions, a white dove landed on the shoulder of the giant Hajrudin.

"Excuse me, let a professional treat your 'divine' condition."
