Hobby-Hobby Fruit! Yamato Sets Out! Two Shichibukai

I must have forgotten something.

Ian was certain.

It's not that I'm suffering from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), it's that the world is wrong.

There is indeed evidence.

The simple thing is that Doflamingo is going to become the new King of Dressrosa, but who was the previous King?

I don't know.

It seems that this person doesn't even exist.

I definitely knew it from my past self, but I have absolutely no recollection of it now.

Therefore, there can only be one answer.

Someone used some kind of ability to erase this memory from their brain.

Ian's lips gradually curled into a smile.

There's probably only one person on the entire ocean who can do this, someone with the ability to do this.

Is it Hobby-Hobby Fruit?

Doflamingo is quite capable, isn't he? He migrated to the New World so many years earlier than in the original story, and still managed to bring Sugar under his control.

However, this kind of rule-based Devil Fruit is really exaggerated; it can erase one's memories across thousands of miles.

"No, what's going on? What exactly happened?!"

Violet rubbed her head in frustration, "Something's definitely wrong!!"

A deep sadness welled up within her, but she had no idea where it came from.

Although Dressrosa is her homeland, it doesn't seem to have much of a connection, does it?

Whatever Doflamingo did there, she shouldn't care too much, right?

"Are you crazy?"

Enel glanced at the deranged Violet, sneered, and then vanished in Inazuma.

He didn't care about any of this at all; all he could think about was getting stronger quickly, defeating Ian, and taking back his heart.

"Um?"

Stussy just smiled and said, "The government also finds it a bit strange. The higher-ups have been agonizing over whether Dressrosa ever had King."

Ian smiled.

Flames surged around him, and in the next moment he had entered orc form.

The moment the ability was used, the stolen memories flooded back into his mind.

"Oh, so it's King Riku?"

Ian remembered, "It shouldn't just be him; all his close family members have been infected as well."

"King Riku?"

Violet was suddenly startled; even without the memory, the name still drew her attention instinctively.

"King Riku?"

Stussy asked, equally puzzled, "The King Riku family has indeed ruled Dressrosa for eight hundred years, but there doesn't seem to be King Riku in the present day, does there?"

That's terrifying.

Even after I've said the name, do they still not remember it at all?

This is the essential skill for truly committing murder and robbery.

It's just a pity, my good brother Doflamingo.

Not only do I know about this ability, but I can also ignore its effects.

Ian's lips curled into a wide smile.

Now, there's no way around it but to snatch the Sugar away!

Such a powerful and convenient ability should definitely be mastered by ourselves.

Moreover, his good friend Doflamingo ultimately went against his own will and attacked Dressrosa without permission.

We can't just pretend we didn't see that.

Ian tried to dispel his powers.

To his delight, even after regaining his human form, he still clearly remembered King Riku and his family.

In other words, forgetting only happens for the instant the Hobby-Hobby Fruit takes effect; if forgetting is reversed, then the memory will not be lost again.

This is interesting, because even Sugar herself, the user of the Hobby- Devil Fruit User, forgets who the original toy was after turning someone into a toy.

This is the noble all-resistance!

So, who should be sent to bring Doflamingo over?

Doflamingo, his good friend, is quite capable, not to mention he has some not-so-weak subordinates.

Ian thought for a moment, then shouted at the top of his lungs, "Yamato!"

"Ian?"

The response from her childhood friend came immediately. Yamato, who was fighting Hancock not far away, jumped Yamato landed right next to Ian. The girl's forehead was still covered with fine sweat, and her smile was bright and sunny.

"What's wrong?"

Didn't you say you wanted to go out and have fun before?

Ian reached out and wiped her sweat. Perhaps due to her abilities, even after strenuous exercise, Yamato's skin wasn't hot at all; instead, it felt cool and smooth like soft jade.

"Hey!"

The little white-haired girl's eyes lit up immediately, and she grabbed Ian's hand, "Can we go out to play again?"

The girl's hands were strangely free of calluses; they remained smooth and delicate, with slightly damp palms.

"Go to Dressrosa,"

Ian said, "Doflamingo seems to be a bit disobedient. Go and bring him back to me."

"Hey? Ian, aren't you coming along?"

Yamato's interest waned considerably in an instant, and he quickly lost interest.

"Really? I was just saying that you've never been on a mission alone before, and I was thinking of giving you a try."

Ian laughed and said, "In that case, let Hancock go."

"No!"

Upon hearing the Hancock, Yamato instantly bristled and exclaimed, "Leave it to me, Ian! I'll bring that Doflamingo guy back for you!"

"Very good."

Ian ruffled the girl's hair.

She certainly already possessed the ability to stand on her own long ago.

Let her get some practice this time.

Can't we really always act solely by ourselves?

However, Yamato's strength is definitely up to par, but his brain isn't quite up to par.

So.

"Let Jinbe and Enel go with you."

Ian said, "Oh right, and Violet too. It wouldn't make sense for her not to go back herself."

Jinbe is a seasoned veteran with extensive seafaring experience.

Moreover, he commands the Fish-Man Pirates, so even if they encounter any difficult situations, they can always escape from the sea.

Enel's Observation Haki is the best radar, and it can be used in the face of any crisis.

Not to mention Violet, whose destination this time is Dressrosa, with the goal of capturing the entire Donquixote Family and rescuing King Riku's family. As King Riku's daughter and the second princess of Dressrosa, it would be really unreasonable for her not to go.

"Oh!"

Yamato patted his chest and loudly agreed, "Leave it all to me!"

Soon enough, the ships were ready in the port and could set sail immediately.

Ian stood on the port, bidding a reluctant farewell to Yamato.

He held his childhood friend's hand and earnestly advised, "Don't be too reckless after you go out. Listen to Jinbe's advice and don't just think about having fun."

Yamato didn't seem to be listening, he just looked at Ian with a grin, "Ian, you're so long-winded."

"If you encounter someone you can't beat, remember to run away. With your abilities, there are few people on the high seas who can catch you."

Ian gave me earnest advice.

Although there are probably only twenty or thirty people in the world that Yamato can't beat right now, whether we can even meet them is another question, and whether we can even fight them is also a problem.

However, it's definitely the right thing to do first and work on this girl's mindset.

"Okay, okay!"

Yamato puffed out his cheeks, looking as cute as a pufferfish. "Seriously, does Ian treat me like a child?"

"Aren't you just a child?"

Ian couldn't help but laugh.

Sixteen-year-old Yamato was already very mature and a stunning beauty in every way.

However, this only applies to the physical body.

He's still just a child inside.

"Go ahead without worry, Yamato."

Hancock leaned closer and called Yamato's name after a long time, "After you leave, I'll take good care of Ian."

The dark-haired beauty emphasized the word "take care" with particular force.

Yamato's eye twitched, "Ian! Let this guy come with me too!"

Ian ruffled her hair. "Stop fooling Doflamingo isn't worth both of you going together."

Honestly, Yamato alone is more than enough.

Jinbe, Enel, Violet were all sent together for Yamato's safety.

If Hancock were to go with Yamato, Ian had serious doubts about whether the ship would be able to reach Dressrosa safely.

Judging from their frequency of one small attack per day and one large attack every three days, if they were to sail normally, they would most likely have to dismantle the ship if they couldn't leave Hachinosu Island.

"Hmm!"

Yamato puffed out his cheeks again and glared fiercely at Hancock.

Hancock simply smiled sweetly, not even glancing at Yamato; her eyes lingered only on Ian.

"You'd better not do anything rash, snake woman!"

Yamato glared fiercely at Hancock, then turned and strode back to the ship. "I'll be right back!"

"Leave it to me, Lord Ian."

Jinbe, who had been waiting to the side, walked over with a Jinbe expression. "We will absolutely not let anything happen to Miss Yamato."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Jinbe."

Ian still trusts Jinbe.

Not only is he capable, but this guy's personality is also characterized by reliability.

"And Enel,"

Ian spoke, regardless of whether Enel was there or not, "Remember my words, your mission is to knock out that little girl named Sugar as soon as possible, and don't give her a chance to come into contact with anyone."

On the ship's rooftop, Enel, sitting cross-legged and munching on an apple, snorted coldly.

"Then let's set off quickly!"

On the ship's side, Violet couldn't wait any longer. "We need to get back to Dressrosa as soon as possible!"

She didn't know why, but she felt extremely anxious and desperately wanted to get back immediately.

"So,"

Ian turned around and looked at the bear, whose figure was obscured by a heavy cloak. "Bear, I'm counting on you."

"Um."

The bear nodded slightly and walked towards the stern of the boat.

Now that the entire port has been cleared out, he can unleash his abilities to his heart's content.

Bye-bye.

Hancock smiled sweetly Yamato on the deck.

"Snort!"

Yamato a disgruntled snort and turned his head away from her.

Bang!

The bear activated its power, and the ship instantly soared into the sky, piercing straight into the clouds.

In the blink of an eye, it had disappeared from sight, and after two more blinks, its Observation Haki could no longer detect it.

Ian gazed silently at the horizon.

He suddenly said, "Hancock."

"I'm here."

The stunningly beautiful woman with dark hair carefully nestled close to Ian, her cheeks flushing crimson at the mere touch of their shoulders.

Sometimes Hancock would secretly berate herself, wondering why she wasn't as thick-skinned as that white-haired guy.

"Isn't it time to build a ship for each of you?"

Ian said, "Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for you to just pick any ship every time you set sail."

"I just need to travel on the same ship as you, Ian."

Hancock spoke softly and very gently.

Ian remained silent.

He thought, "It's bound to happen eventually. Take this case, for example. It would be making a mountain out of a molehill if I went myself, but it's not easy to take down ordinary officers, so I need to send out a high-ranking officer like Hancock Yamato."

Just like the Golden Flying Dragon that Teacher Kai built for himself back then.

Yamato and Hancock definitely deserve their own flagship ships.

Soon, perhaps even more will be needed.

Jack's, Enel's, and even Solemn and Shimir's.

However, this time they won't build sailing warships.

Once Uncle Queen's energy research is nearly complete, let's go straight for ironclad warships.

"Ian,"

A scorching breath suddenly enveloped his ear, and the unexpected itching made Ian's ears twitch involuntarily.

Hancock, already renowned for her beauty and talent, leaned close to Ian's ear and whispered, "Want to go swimming? I bought some new swimsuits."

Ian glanced back at her, somewhat puzzled. "We're ability users, why are we swimming?"

Hancock froze for a moment, her face instantly turning bright red.

They immediately realized the flaws in their plan!

How could you forget that ability users can't swim?

But then the girl said hesitantly, "At least help me see if these swimsuits fit."

Ian sighed softly.

Perhaps, Hancock and Yamato should really go together.

"Let's go get the swimming ring."

Dressrosa.

A land of love and passion.

The country is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations today.

A new King is about to ascend the throne.

Many citizens couldn't understand why Donquixote Doflamingo, a pirate, could become the new King of this country, and they couldn't understand what the World Government was thinking.

However, overall, the domestic atmosphere in this country is still quite stable at this time.

The main problem is that nobody remembers who King Riku is, and they've completely forgotten about his entire family.

Dressrosa has no heir, so even if the people wanted to rebel, they couldn't find a leader.

Furthermore, in a recent pirate attack, it was Doflamingo and his Donquixote Family who protected the country, thus minimizing public resentment.

Thus, with the government's recognition and the people's obedience, the Donquixote Family smoothly took over the country.

Today is the day the new King ascends the throne.

However, this was in the underground prison of the royal palace.

"Ta-da!"

The prison door was slammed shut.

A tin soldier doll wearing shackles is desperately banging on the door.

But the sturdy prison doors were clearly not something he could break down.

In the cell behind him, there was a pink rabbit doll, and he was gently comforting himself by holding a smaller pink kitten doll in his arms.

The surrounding prisons also housed many dolls.

Doflamingo!!

"Iron-skinned soldier, Kyros, the legendary gladiator of the Dressrosa Kingdom, roared inwardly."

At the same moment, in the palace directly above.

"Hehehe! Your presence makes me feel quite honored!"

Doflamingo, who is about to ascend the throne as the new King, is welcoming someone. "Crocodile!"

The man sitting imposingly on the sofa sneered, "So, what kind of business do you want to discuss with me?"
