A Bumper Harvest of Devil Fruits!

Looking at the beautiful, well-proportioned, and obedient girl beside him, Storm couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

There are quite a few people with "mental illnesses" on the high seas.

And it's unclear whether it was just his imagination.

There are significantly more women than men with "serious mental illness".

For example, a certain "World King" who has lived among Flower Room and been a recluse for hundreds of years was so frightened by the [Conqueror's Haki] of a certain nemesis that she immediately knelt down and screamed incessantly.

For example, there's a "Steel Balloon" who lives on Cake Island created with his powers, spending all his time eating and sleeping. Despite possessing the World's Strongest defense, it's easily breached when he has an episode.

For example, there's this "World's Most Beautiful Pirate" who lives on Amazon Lily in the Calm Belt Nine Snake Island. She gets disgusted at the sight of men and wishes she could kill every male creature in the world...

However, even among these women with severe mental illnesses...

Baby5's "mental illness" can be described as extremely serious.

As long as someone makes a request to Baby5.

Baby5 will do everything in its power to fulfill this request for others.

Even if someone wanted Baby5 to commit suicide, Baby5 wouldn't hesitate in the slightest.

It is because of this acquired "mental illness"—or rather, inner defect.

Storm vaguely remembers that Baby5 was burdened with nearly 100 million Beli in debt and had a number of deceased fiancés.

Why is it described as "deceased fiancé"...?

Because every man who deceived Baby5 by saying he wanted to marry her was executed by Doflamingo...

Leaving aside other issues...

Doflamingo was very kind to the members of his "Donquixote Family".

Storm effortlessly "solved" Baby 5.

However, he had no intention of doing anything to this "mentally ill patient".

To be fair...

Baby5's [Weapon-Weapon Fruit] is indeed very strong.

If it were in the hands of Vegapunk, or a super scientist like Queen, Gage, or Caesar...

This [Weapon-Weapon Fruit]'s ability can definitely be maximized.

However, in Baby 5's hands, this seemingly overpowered Devil Fruit could at most only be used to create some gunpowder and cannons...

Storm wasn't particularly interested in the [Weapon-Weapon Fruit].

It may be embarrassing to say this, but his scientific literacy is indeed inadequate.

Even if Storm obtains the [Weapon-Weapon Fruit], its development might not be as strong as Baby 5.

On the other hand.

There's another reason why Storm kept Baby5.

He plans to use Baby5 and [Calm-Calm Fruit] as bait to "fish in the ground" and see if he can catch a super big fish with these two "bait"...

Storm recruited Baby5.

On the other side, Joan used the "Sea Bubble" created by the [Bubble Fruit] to imprison almost all the Devil Fruit User of the Donquixote Family.

The only player who died on the field was Trebol.

Because this guy is not only long-winded, but also has disgusting abilities.

Storm was utterly speechless at Trebol's [Sticky-Sticky Fruit].

Charlotte Perospero, the Candy Minister of Whole Cake Island, possesses the [Lick-Lick Fruit], which he has used to develop "candy" superpowers.

But why did Trebol develop only "snot ability"?

Because of this guy, Storm also lost interest in the Sticky- Sticky-Sticky Fruit.

Joan manipulated a series of "Sea Bubble," leading a group of prisoners, silently following behind Storm.

Even Donquixote Doflamingo, who had just been knocked unconscious by Blue-Eyes White Dragon's tail, was now imprisoned inside a "Sea Bubble".

Apart from his chest still rising and falling slightly, Doflamingo looked exactly like a corpse.

Storm's gaze swept over the Donquixote Family members, then he looked at Baby5.

"Baby5, you should be very familiar with the Dressrosa Palace, right?"

"Yes, sir."

Baby5 nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and even offered suggestions.

Do you need me to show you the way?

These words were spoken.

The Donquixote Family members, who were imprisoned in the Sea Bubble but still retained their conscious minds, immediately cast disappointed, shocked, and helpless glances at Baby5.

Everyone knows that Baby5 has personality issues.

But I had no idea that Baby 5's personality issues would be so serious!

The enemy has already defeated the young master and destroyed his family.

Baby5 is actually obediently acting as the other party's guide?

The members of the Donquixote Family were utterly desperate!

Unlike the desperate pirates, Storm was extremely pleased with Baby5's proactive attitude.

If only all enemies were as obedient as Baby 5.

"Lead the way!"

Baby5 received Storm's order and went straight to the front, leading him, Joan, and the rest of the "Sea Bubble" towards the Dressrosa Palace.

And at this time...

A tall and voluptuous figure walked from the Dressrosa Palace.

The newcomer was none other than Violet, the former princess of the Kingdom of Dressrosa!

Before Storm could speak, Baby5 took a step forward.

"Don't come any closer, Violet!"

Baby5 used the power of the [Weapon-Weapon Fruit] to transform her right arm into a rocket launcher, aiming it directly at Violet.

"This gentleman is my distinguished guest!"

"...?"

Violet glanced at Baby 5, then at the long line of incapacitated Donquixote Family members behind Storm, and several big question marks appeared above her head.

Isn't Baby5 also a member of the Donquixote Pirates?

Did she... betray us too?

The White Dragon, who saves us from suffering, is right before our eyes.

Violet didn't care about anything else.

She was about to kneel before Storm, begging him to destroy the Donquixote Family and save the Kingdom of Dressrosa.

But at that moment...

A tiny hand suddenly reached out from behind Violet.

Without any warning, Violet transformed into a wheat-skinned female doll.

Immediately afterwards, a short, green-haired girl wearing a white polka-dot dress appeared in front of Storm.

Storm narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Green Hair little girl who had suddenly appeared, clutching a doll.

By this time, he had already recognized the other person's identity.

The Donquixote Family's hidden trump card, Sugar, Devil Fruit User the Paramecia Hobby- Hobby-Hobby Fruit!

But.

Storm recognized Sugar's true identity.

Sugar, however, continued to feign indifference.

"Big brother..."

Sugar hugged the doll in her arms tightly, putting on a pitiful look.

"Have you seen my mother?"

Storm remained unmoved.

However, Joan, who was standing behind him, slowly stepped forward.

One step, two steps...

Joan and Sugar were getting closer and closer.

The Donquixote Family members, imprisoned in the Sea Bubble, involuntarily held their breath.

Sugar's pupils also dilated slightly as she cautiously reached out her hands, intending to touch Joan.

Joan extended her right hand.

I'm going to catch you!

Sugar's nostrils flared slightly as she prepared to activate her [Hobby-Hobby Fruit] ability.

But a cool sensation suddenly entered her palm.

The next instant.

Sugar felt completely powerless, and even lost control of the [Hobby-Hobby Fruit]'s power.

"Ah..."

Joan held a giant "Sea Bubble" in her hand, like a sledgehammer, and slammed it down on Sugar, instantly arresting the ill-intentioned Green Hair- haired girl!

As Sugar was trapped inside the "Sea Bubble," her [Hobby-Hobby Fruit] ability was forcibly deactivated.

The doll that Sugar had just been holding transformed back into Violet.

However, due to their previous posture, they are now both trapped inside a Sea Bubble.

If it weren't for the fact that Sugar is relatively small...

This Sea Bubble will probably get full...

Violet regained her human form and immediately retrieved her memories.

She instantly realized that her memories had just been altered!

Only Sugar's [Hobby-Hobby Fruit] can grant this ability!

Violet had endured years of humiliation and hardship within the Donquixote Family, and she already knew the true identity of the family's hidden trump card and its Devil Fruit ability.

However, due to the unique nature of the [Hobby-Hobby Fruit], even though Violet knew of Sugar's existence, she had no idea how many people Sugar had turned into puppets at her mercy.

But now.

Violet had realized that Sugar had just used her powers to turn her into a doll.

Immediately afterwards.

Violet then discovered the Sugar right next to her.

She originally intended to deal directly with the Sugar.

Unfortunately, the "Sea Bubble" is equal for all Devil Fruit User.

Sugar is Devil Fruit User the [Hobby-Hobby Fruit], but her ability was forcibly sealed by "Sea Bubble".

Violet, the Devil Fruit User of the [Glint-Glint Fruit], was now extremely weak and unable to move.

When Storm saw that Violet and Sugar were both trapped in the "Sea Bubble," he simply stopped in his tracks.

"Gentlemen?"

Baby5 looked at Storm with a puzzled expression.

"Aren't we going to the royal palace?"

"No, I've already found my target."

Storm shook his head and glanced at the Sugar in the Sea Bubble.

He certainly knew about Sugar's Devil Fruit ability.

The reason Storm wanted to go to the Dressrosa Palace was just now.

It's because there's still this last "fish that slipped through the net" --

Wrong!

The real "escaped fish" isn't in Dressrosa, but in the G5 Branch in the New World next door! Within the Navy!

The image of the commander-in-chief of the New World G5 Branch base flashed through Storm's mind.

Vergo, a high-ranking member of the Donquixote Family and the First Generation Red Heart!

'Let's find an opportunity to visit the G5 Branch later!'

Storm collected his thoughts and waved to Baby5.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon that had been hovering in the sky then descended.

Storm, Joan, Baby5, and a large group of Sea Bubble boarded the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

In a place unnoticed for the time being, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's size had swelled considerably.

Within its dragon-belly cabin, Storm quietly carved out a new space.

"Baby5, you stay here with the dragon head for now. I still have some things to take care of. Be good."

Storm gave Baby5 a few words of advice.

Unsurprisingly, I received a very positive response.

"Yes, sir! I'm the best behaved and the most obedient!"

Storm left Baby5 in the driver's cab.

Immediately afterwards, he and Joan entered the dragon's belly cabin together.

Storm captured so many members of the Donquixote Family alive, not to send them to Impel Down!

He was only after these people's Devil Fruit abilities!

Those Devil Fruit User incapable will be executed on the spot.

Those with Devil Fruit User will be temporarily retained.

One after another, Sea Bubble were placed into the dragon's belly cabin.

The first to be dealt with by Storm were naturally the two top executives of the Donquixote Family.

Spades and Diamonds!

[Paramecia - Stone-Stone Fruit]

[Paramecia - Flutter- Flag-Flag Fruit].

Then came another group of middle-level managers.

Señor Pica, Machvise, Buffalo, Gladius.

[Paramecia - Water-Water Fruit]

[Paramecia - Ton-Ton Fruit]

[Paramecia - Spin-Spin Fruit]

[Paramecia Fruit - Bari Bari no Mi]

Finally, there are Monet and the Sugar sisters.

[Logia - Snow Snow Fruit]

[Paramecia - Hobby-Hobby Fruit]

Obtain eight Devil Fruits at once.

Putting aside the quality issues, in terms of quantity alone, Storm's gains this time even surpassed the previous "Pluton Rayleigh deal"!

Storm looked at the eight Devil Fruit lined up in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.

Our ancestors were right.

Murder and arson bring wealth and power; a bountiful harvest of Devil Fruit!

The vast Donquixote Family.

Leaving aside the low-level pirate minions...

The main figures of the Donquixote Family.

Apart from Vice Admiral Vergo, who was an undercover agent for the Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral.

Only three members remained.

Donquixote Doflamingo.

Riku Violet.

Baby5.

If we round it up or down...

The Donquixote Family.

Now all that's left is Doflamingo, a lone commander!
