Gone Mad?!

Luo calmly glanced at the two of them, then said indifferently, "No trade."

"Not changing?"

The two stared at Luo dumbfounded. Even now, weren't they going to change the transaction location?

Is this guy serious?

"We've already come this far, there's no reason to change locations," Luo said calmly.

The only place in the entire Dressrosa that meets the criteria is Green Bit.

As for going to Dressrosa?

How could he possibly buy time for the Straw Hat Leader from there?

Therefore, it's impossible for him to move to another place.

"Forehead..."

Usopp and Caesar were speechless for a moment, unsure of what to say.

Nicole Robin just smiled; she really didn't care much about that Fighting Fish thing.

After all, with their strength, they wouldn't be scared by fish or anything like that.

Even if the opponent is Sea Kings, they have nothing to fear!

"So we still need to cross this bridge?" Usopp said with a bitter face.

"Um."

Luo nodded, then turned to look around and continued, "However... I feel like something's not quite right."

"What's wrong?"

Don't you think these people are a bit strange?

Luo carefully observed the crowds of people accompanying children or robots, and said, "The King of this country only recently abdicated, yet everything here is so peaceful..."

This is clearly not quite normal.

"Perhaps the Navy said something?" Nico Robin guessed.

"The navy..."

Recalling the mention of the Marine Admiral by the man in Sunglasses, Law gradually frowned.

That's probably the only possibility.

Just then, Nico Robin seemed to notice something, and her expression immediately changed.

"What's wrong, Robin?"

Usopp looked at Nico Robin, who had subconsciously pulled her hat down, with a puzzled expression, not realizing what had happened.

"Shh..."

Nico Robin didn't explain anything, she just told Usopp to shut up for the time being.

Out of trust for his partner, Usopp kept quiet.

Soon, the CP0 agents who had appeared around them left the street and walked away into the distance.

"That was...?"

Caesar watched the figures recede into the distance with a grim expression, his hands trembling slightly.

As a wanted person, he was terrified of the World Government.

"What is it?" Usopp asked, puzzled.

"CP0," Luo said with a grim face.

"CP..."

Usopp tilted his head and thought for a moment, wondering why this sounded so familiar.

Upon seeing this, Nicole Robin explained, "CipherPol-AIGISO, the World's Strongest intelligence agency!"

Usopp:!!!

No wonder it sounded familiar!

I think the CP9 I encountered before had a similar name!

"What's their relationship with CP9?" Usopp asked quickly.

"He's the highest-ranking agent in that organization."

"What?"

Usopp said with a grim expression, "CP9 is already so difficult to deal with, aren't these guys even more dangerous?"

Luckily they didn't expose themselves, or these guys would definitely have killed them!

As if recalling certain images, Usopp's expression turned even more grim.

"These guys are definitely dangerous," Nico Robin said, staring in the direction they had left. "Sending these guys out is definitely not a good thing."

"That's true."

Law completely agreed with Nico Robin's idea; the World Government sending these guys out was definitely not a good thing!

Then, as if he had just thought of something, he turned to Nico Robin and said, "Leader Nico, do you think these guys might be here to assist the Navy?"

He knew how alluring the Diamond Fruit was; after all, even the Four Emperors had come here to snatch this Devil Fruit.

Therefore, it is quite reasonable for the World Government to send more people over.

"That should be the case," Nico Robin said. "However... they're not in Dressrosa after all, so these guys should be leaving soon."

I wonder if Ace and the others will be able to escape from these guys successfully.

If they can't escape, the Straw Hat Pirates will have to face off against the Marines.

"I hope so."

After Luo finished speaking, he picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and his eyes gradually narrowed.

When do we set off?

"No rush," Luo said. "Let's wait until CP0 is a bit further away."

Although it's uncertain whether those CP0s might suddenly launch a counterattack, it's better to be cautious.

After all... they can't afford to lose.

Seeing that Luo had already said that, Nico Robin didn't know what else to say, so she picked up the coffee on the table and drank it.

Let's just consider this... a normal daytime break after dinner.

"This must be it."

Looking at the enormous Colosseum before him, Luffy's face lit up with excitement, and he exclaimed, "I can't wait!"

I wonder how strong the contestants are.

Franky laughed and said, "You can hear the enthusiastic cheers from outside; it makes me want to join the game!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Xi Yan raised an eyebrow and said, "Why don't you go participate in the competition, and I'll go find Factory?"

"Then forget it."

Franky shook his head and said, "Since I've already taken on this task, then naturally I'll do it."

He had said in front of everyone that he would destroy the Factory in one fell swoop, so naturally he wouldn't let Xi Yan do it.

Seeing that Franky had already said so, Xi Yan didn't try to persuade him any further.

Then, he glanced at the bright-eyed Merry with a chuckle and said, "What, are you interested in the dueling match too, little one?"

Upon hearing this, Merry's eyes lit up even more.

Can I participate too?

"That won't do."

Xi Yan rubbed the little guy's head and said, "This kind of thing isn't suitable for a pretty little girl like you, so you should go with Franky on another mission."

"Well... okay."

Since Xi Yan disagrees, she won't participate.

Franky just smiled. Had this little one forgotten she was a child?

In this situation, even if she were to participate in the competition, no one would agree to her participation.

After all... this is against the rules.

Just then, two guards rushed over from a distance and fired several shots at the Toy Soldier Kyros in the distance.

"Stop right there, you bastard!"

"Damn it, they made us waste so much time and effort..."

"Stop right there, you wanted Toy Soldier!"

"We won't stop, you two!"

As he spoke, Kyros slid rapidly across the ground, dodging the bullets fired from the two men behind him at incredible speed.

Then, as he approached the Colosseum, he leaped up and landed inside the Sea Stone enclosure.

"This..."

The two guards who witnessed this scene turned green with rage.

How did this guy get into the Colosseum?

Upon seeing the change in their expressions, Kyros immediately laughed.

"See that, you two slowpokes?" Kyros said. "One of my feet is already in the Colosseum!"

"You should understand what this means!"

Upon hearing Kyros's words, the two guards' expressions immediately turned even more grim.

As guards in Dressrosa, they certainly knew the rules here!

According to the laws of Dressrosa, guards and naval personnel are prohibited from entering the Colosseum, even if they discover criminals inside!

If they ignore this rule and open fire, they will also become guilty.

And this is the law established by the Donquixote Family!

"Hateful..."

The two guards glared at Kyros with gritted teeth, but there was nothing they could do.

"Now that you understand, get out of here!" Kyros shouted.

"You bastard, you just wait!"

The guard cursed angrily, then turned and left with his companion, much to Kyros's relief.

Although he loathed the Donquixote Family, he now had no choice but to use their rules to survive.

Thinking of this, Kyros sighed silently.

'I wonder when this will ever end.'

"This island is really strange," Franky said, looking up at Kyros. "There are even toy fugitives here."

Yeah, it's a really tough toy.

"A toy wanted criminal...?"

As he listened to Franky's words, Xi Yan gradually frowned.

He's increasingly convinced that the toys in this country are products of some Devil Fruit User.

'Hiss... No!'

Xi Yan suddenly realized something: if the toy was truly a product created by a Devil Fruit User, how could it possibly betray them?

After all, people with superpowers can deactivate their abilities at any time.

So... these guys aren't actually products of Devil Fruit powers?

Or perhaps... the creations of the other party are rather special, requiring the user to touch the toy to destroy it, hence the existence of the betraying toy?

Although it seems a bit far-fetched, Devil Fruit abilities are incredibly diverse, so... it's not impossible!

Looking at the Toy Soldier jumping down from the height, Xi Yan slowly narrowed his eyes.

"Greetings, gentlemen. Let me help you with your luggage," Kyros said with a smile.

"Um?"

"Why have you suddenly become so polite?" Franky asked, surprised.

The other party was quite assertive towards those two guards just now.

"Haha, you're so funny," Luffy laughed.

"Haha, is it funny?"

"How about this?"

"I see~"

Seeing Kyros pupae on the ground, Luffy laughed even harder; this Toy Soldier was indeed very interesting.

"Excuse me, toy Soldier, could you please move your way?" Franky said. "We have other things to do."

"Ah... I'm blocking your way."

Kyros got up from the ground somewhat embarrassed and said, "This is truly rude, I'm sorry..."

As he spoke, his face turned red.

"Why are you suddenly blushing?" Franky chuckled. "You're not some overly serious person, are you?"

"No... how could that be?"

Kyros looked away and said, "The purpose of toys is to bring joy, so there can't be any truly serious toys."

As he spoke, Kyros started making strange gestures again, which made Luffy laugh.

This guy is taking things way too seriously.

"Speaking of which... can toys blush?" Merry asked curiously.

Isn't the other person's body made entirely of steel? Why can they blush?

"Perhaps it's something special about it," Xi Yan guessed.

Upon hearing this, Merry blinked. Was it something special?

Was it because he became a wanted criminal?

Hmm... what a strange toy Soldier he is.

Just then, a woman's voice came from the registration area in the distance.

"Hey~"

"Anyone else want to participate in this duel?" the girl called out. "Registration is closing soon!"

"Hey, Luffy."

Franky looked towards the registration area in the distance and said, "Our entrance seems to be over there. Looks like we need to register first."

"Oh, I see. I understand."

Luffy nodded, then shouted towards the registration area in the distance, "Hey, we two want to register!"

As he spoke, Luffy pulled Xi Yan over from the side.

Seeing this, Xi Yan felt somewhat helpless, but he didn't say anything in rebuttal. He simply handed the girl in his arms, Merry, to Franky.

"Hey, you two aren't kidding, are you?" Kyros stared dumbfounded at Luffy and Xi Yan, saying, "How old are you two? This is too reckless!"

With their old arms and legs, they probably couldn't even withstand a single punch from someone inside.

Isn't participating in this situation just suicidal?

Unfortunately, Luffy just grinned and showed no intention of changing his mind.

Seeing Kyros could only turn his gaze to Xi Yan. Xi Yan, in turn, laughed and said, "Our hearts are not old~"

Kyros:...

Is that the problem?

Participating in this kind of competition could easily get you killed!

Thinking of this, Kyros intended to try to persuade them again, but the two men didn't look at him anymore and walked towards the registration area.

"You... you two..."

Seeing Luffy and Xi Yan arrive at the registration area, the young woman pursed her lips and then patiently said, "Gentlemen, this is the registration area for the Bullfighting Arena. Have you come to the wrong place?"

Out of conscience, she felt it necessary to persuade the two old men, otherwise they would surely die inside.

"No, we're just here for this," Luffy said with a smile.

"Is this old man serious?" The people around them looked at Luffy and Xi Yan with amusement and said, "Are they going to make an appearance too?"

"Are you sure everything's okay?"

"Hey, do you guys even know who's competing today?"

"Even if you win the Regular Season, you still won't get the Diamond Fruit, because there are several Donquixote Family experts in the finals!!"

"Gentlemen, I advise you to think this over carefully, or you might really be beaten to death."

Although they didn't know who had tricked the two old men, they felt they still needed to explain things clearly to them.

Otherwise... they would definitely lose their lives in vain.

"Hey, young lady, these two must be your family members," the woman said, looking at Merry in Franky's arms. "Why don't you try to talk to them?"

She always thought the two old men had gone mad.
