"Sugar! You sneaked out to play again? And you used your powers again, didn't you? You'll be found out sooner or later..." Monet nagged Sugar incessantly.
Although Sugar is currently in the form of a doll, Monet has clearly not lost his memories of her.
Clearly, at least when her ability is applied to herself, Sugar has a way to avoid blocking out certain people she doesn't want to block. It's just unclear whether this is due to mastery of her ability or exploiting its blind spots...
Sugar looked nonchalant, like a rebellious younger sister, which only made Monet angrier.
Sugar was still quite young at this time, seven years younger Monet, only twelve years old, a time when she was very disobedient.
Moreover, since Sugar ate the Devil Fruit two years ago, her body seems to have stopped growing, and her mind even seems to be regressing!
"I won't get caught. If I do... I can just 'hide' again." Sugar pouted, looking completely unconcerned.
"Won't they find out? I even suspect the boss has already discovered something..." Monet couldn't help but complain to Sugar.
"That guy? Tch... Then you can introduce me to him again tomorrow, and then I can 'hide' again!" Sugar said matter-of-factly.
Sig, who had just infiltrated, overheard these two sentences and immediately understood— Sugar had indeed appeared in front of Tesoro.
However, Tesoro clearly failed the "test," leading Sugar to believe that he was not someone she could entrust with anything. So, she turned herself into a doll and disappeared from Tesoro's memory.
Meanwhile, the way Sugar dealt with Monet also hinted at the effects of the Hobby-Hobby Fruit...
Whether Tesoro brought it up intentionally to Monet or was accidentally caught, Monet had a vague feeling that Tesoro knew about Sugar's existence.
However, at this point, Tesoro had no memory of "Sugar" himself; he had only heard Sig mention that such a person existed...
Judging from Kyros's current condition, Sugar cannot erase memories that are not associated with him in this state.
However, judging from what Sugar said, if she introduces herself to Tesoro and embodies all of Tesoro's "impressions of Sugar" in Sugar herself, then when Sugar becomes a toy again, all her memories will be erased.
From Sugar's words, we can see that not only can memory blind spots be erased, but we can also see that Sugar already has experience in dealing with this kind of problem.
Seeing Sugar's nonchalant attitude, Monet was first annoyed, then her expression turned sorrowful. "It's all because I'm too weak. If... if I were as strong as Doflamingo or the boss, I could have taken you away myself, instead of having to live under someone else's roof and be so careful..."
Sig keenly sensed that Monet at this moment were half genuine, and half... were meant to educate his sister!
Seeing her sister's remorseful expression, Sugar immediately broke down. Although she still acted tough, she said, "I know, I know. I'll behave myself for a while! I won't run around without your permission, let's see if anyone jumps out and says they've discovered our secret!"
"An interesting secret." Sig felt he had been called out, so he stepped out of the shadows.
"Who goes there?" Monet reacted defensively immediately, his entire body turning into ice and snow, instantly lowering the temperature in the room by two degrees.
However, it must be said that her development of Logia Devil Fruit is quite "basic".
They basically fight using the basic abilities of Logia Devil Fruit, and when facing a "powerful enemy," their first reaction is to Elementalization.
In the first half of the story, in the "Paradise," or in places where non-super powers roam, Elementalization is indeed very useful, even invincible. However, in the "New World," unless you can instantly and autonomously use Elementalization to dodge the opponent's attack, it is obviously too naive to think that you can avoid damage by simply using Elementalization.
"Ah!" Sugar exclaimed.
In contrast, her younger sister Sugar reacted much better—she immediately crouched down with her head in her hands, acting like a truly harmless little girl.
However, Sig had already sensed her thoughts...
If the "bad guy" dares to approach without any precautions, she will try to ambush him first. If she can turn the enemy into a toy, the threat will be greatly reduced, and she may even have the opportunity to insert "commands".
Even without such a wonderful thing, Sugar can turn herself into a doll at any time, causing the other person to instantly lose all memory of her!
Although it's unclear how this person knew about her, since they've already seen her, all their previous information channels will now connect to her. As long as Sugar remains hidden, this person will appear to have "entered Monet's room without cause."
Sugar figured that with his sister's and his own tacit understanding, it would be easy to get through this—based on past experience, this kind of memory blocking was absolute and thorough; even if he had the habit of writing in a diary, the relevant words would disappear along with it.
Before that, Monet first tried to make a move on Sig...
At this moment, Sig was dressed as Vampire, and Monet did not recognize that Sig was the previous owner's customer, and even wanted to have a little sparring.
Monet's entire body transformed into ice and snow, and the room was instantly filled with a blizzard. At the same time, his arms turned into snow blades and lunged at Sig.
However, Sig's figure flashed past her, and she could only vaguely see a thin, bloody mark as Sig waved his hand.
Then, accompanied by Monet's cry of pain, the blizzard stopped, and she returned to human form from her snowman state. At the same time, several whip marks flashing with red blood light appeared on her body, continuously causing her burning pain.
Seeing this, Sugar's eyes hardened, and she pretended to be helpless as she lunged at Sig's leg. "Sister... stop! Don't bully my sister!" She was about to stage a scene of an ignorant little girl clinging to the leg of a villain.
While Sig was interested in trying out what it would feel like to be turned into a toy, he would never do it under such unprepared circumstances...
So when Sugar touched Sig, she passed right through his shadowy body!
Sugar, having tripped and fallen, realized the other person was on guard, and without further hesitation, slapped her own body...
In an instant, Sugar transformed into a short-haired blue rag doll, draped in the same red cloak as her.
Even Sig's eyes showed a moment of confusion—what am I doing in Monet's room? Huh? Whip marks? And shadows covering the area for soundproofing?
Ah... it seems we had a few drinks at a bar, and then met here. She has some peculiar fetishes, and she insisted I whip her first, so...
The ever-understanding Sig instantly conjured up the possibility of it being the "only" one.
However, this ambiguity in memory immediately triggered the "Psychological Suggestion" that Sig had prepared in advance. Under self-suggestion, Sig's Astral Body and Mind Body resynchronized, correcting the false memories he had mentally constructed...
