What Do Those Bastards, the Five Elders, Think Justice Is?
"False Report?"
Hearing the voice coming from the Den Den Mushi, Fujitora was immediately filled with questions.
He had never heard of such a thing.
"Ah, it was indeed False Report."
"What on earth is going on, Marshal Sakazuki?" Fujitora said with a grim expression, "Even the Navy Headquarters has been completely fooled... this..."
"Yes, it's really infuriating."
Sakazuki's expression was also very unpleasant, clearly indicating that he was in a very bad mood.
After casually extinguishing his cigar, Sakazuki said in a deep voice, "Although I don't know what happened, I'm going to Mary Geoise right now to confront the Five Elders."
It was only said that Doflamingo might resign from his Shichibukai and cooperate with Doflamingo in arresting the Spade Pirates, but it was never said that he would pretend to resign from his position Shichibukai!
Isn't this slapping the Navy in the face?
Or just throw it on top of poop and step on it together.
What do these bastards think of justice?
After muttering a few curses in frustration, Sakazuki continued, "Anyway... go and arrest Fire Fist Ace according to plan."
After saying that, Sakazuki paused for a moment, then continued, "By the way, the Spade Pirates should have appeared by now, right?"
Upon hearing this, Fujitora, who was deep in thought, nodded and said, "Yes, it has appeared."
"That's good."
Sakazuki's expression softened slightly; at least there was some good news.
With Fujitora's strength, taking down that brat shouldn't be a problem.
Thinking this, Sakazuki nodded and continued, "Then proceed according to plan. You two go and arrest them. Remember to deal with the Straw Hat Pirates and Trafalgar Law's matter as well."
The mere mention of those two made Sakazuki feel his temper flare up again.
Why are there these bastards everywhere?
And, is that bastard Trafalgar Law also planning to resign from the Shichibukai?
The thought of this made Sakazuki even angrier.
"I'm sorry, I don't intend to arrest Fire Fist Ace," Fujitora said in a deep voice.
Sakazuki:???
Sakazuki, still pondering the question, was immediately filled with several question marks. What did he mean by not intending to arrest Fire Fist Ace?
What does this bastard take his orders for granted?
Perhaps understanding Sakazuki's thoughts, Fujitora continued, "I did receive news that the Spade Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates were fighting on other islands, but I don't have time to deal with them right now."
The Spade Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates are fighting?
Sakazuki's eyes clearly showed surprise; he obviously hadn't expected this to happen.
However, Sakazuki didn't pay too much attention to this matter, after all, he needed to figure out Fujitora's thoughts.
"Reason."
"Dressrosa is like a giant vortex right now, ready to unleash a terrible catastrophe at any moment," Fujitora said. "That's why they need me here."
The sharp-witted Fujitora clearly sensed something terrible, so he decided to stay and protect the people of Dressrosa.
At the same time... he also wanted to find an opportunity to deal with Doflamingo and see if he could get rid of that disgusting Shichibukai!
As for that Fire Fist Ace?
Just leave it to Smoker; with his abilities, capturing that group shouldn't be a problem.
Sakazuki understood Fujitora's meaning; given the current situation in Dressrosa, a terrible disaster could indeed erupt.
In situations like this, a strong person who can keep the situation under control is indeed needed to ensure the safety of the people of Dressrosa to the greatest extent possible.
'Otherwise, Doflamingo might cause trouble,' Sakazuki thought to himself.
With that in mind, Sakazuki agreed with Fujitora.
"Alright, I understand. I'll leave Dressrosa to you then. Remember to handle Trafalgar and the others properly," Sakazuki said in a deep voice. "As for Fire Fist Ace..."
"I've entrusted this matter to Smoker," Fujitora continued, "Normally, he should have already found Fire Fist Ace and the others."
He didn't know whether Smoker had set off or not, since he hadn't contacted Smoker since earlier.
"You handed it over to him?"
Sakazuki clearly looked troubled. Would that troublemaker really follow orders to capture Fire Fist Ace?
Thinking about it carefully, the chances of that happening are slim.
After all, that guy went to Dressrosa specifically to capture the Straw Hat Pirates!
In this situation, would he really follow orders to go and capture Fire Fist Ace from the Spade Pirates?
This is a problem...
The thought of this gave Sakazuki an even bigger headache.
'That troublemaker...'
Fine, if Smoker really didn't go, then let's just assume that Fire Fist D. Ace wasn't the target of this operation.
As for holding World Government accountable...
They weren't even serving in the navy, so why should I wholeheartedly work for them?
Thinking of this, Sakazuki snorted coldly, but his mood inexplicably improved a lot.
Fujitora:???
Why does it seem like Marshal Sakazuki's mood has changed?
Is it just my imagination?
"Anyway... I understand everything now." Sakazuki regained his composure and said, "Remember to handle Dressro's matter well. I'll be waiting for your good news."
After saying that, Sakazuki ended the call without hesitation.
"Kaga ~"
Fujitora stared at the Fujitora Den Den Mushi whose call had been ended, speechless for a long time.
Marshal Sakazuki... is he supporting his operation?
'Although I don't know if the Marshal has seen through my true intentions, since they've already said so, then...' Fujitora's lips curled slightly upwards, thinking to himself, 'I'll continue on my way.'
Thinking of this, Fujitora felt even better.
If possible, he hopes to abolish the Shichibukai this time!
"Um?"
The adjutant beside him looked at Fujitora with a surprised expression. Was Mr. Issho smiling?
Was it because of Marshal Sakazuki?
Was there anything special about the conversation just now?
The adjutant thought about it carefully but couldn't figure out what the problem was.
"Alright, put it away for me."
After handing the Den Den Mushi to his adjutant, Fujitora asked, "Any messages from Smoker?"
No.
The adjutant shook his head and said, "We haven't been in contact since we last spoke with Smoker."
"I see..."
Fujitora didn't dwell on it; the order had already been given, and whether or not to carry it out was Smoker's own business.
Then, Fujitora waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to the Southeast Coast first and see Trafalgar Law and Doflamingo."
"Yes!"
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Nico Robin, who had been captured and taken underground by the Tontatta Tribe, slowly awoke at this moment.
"Um?"
"Um!!"
Seeing Leo clinging to her, Nico Robin's pupils shrank to their smallest size. Was this the Tontatta who had captured her and Usopp?
"Wow!"
"The Giant Race have awakened!"
The surrounding Tontatta looked at Nico Robin in panic, clearly not expecting her to wake up in such a short time.
"All personnel on high alert!" Leo roared.
"Profound!"
"Hey, wait a minute!"
Seeing the Tontatta picking up weapons, Nico Robin quickly asked, "What are you trying to do?"
"Don't even think about running away, you Giant Race!" Leo glared fiercely at Nico Robin and said, "Stay put!"
Looking at the fierce-looking Leo, Nico Robin found him somewhat cute.
However, this was not the time for sentimentality; she needed to first understand her situation.
Thinking about this, Nico Robin began to observe her own situation, and then discovered that her body had been sewn to the ground by something.
"This is... a line?"
"You've been sewn to the ground by my magical technique, the Power of Sewing," Leo said. "So don't move."
"The power of stitching?"
Nico Robin paused for a moment, wondering if it was Devil Fruit ability.
"That's right, I used this needle to sew you to the ground bit by bit," Leo nodded and said.
As he spoke, Leo showed Nico Robin the long needle at his waist to prove that he wasn't lying.
Then, Leo looked sharply at Nico Robin and continued, "You're Bad Giant Race, aren't you!"
"Excuse me, you must have misunderstood," Nico Robin said. "Are you Devil Fruit User?"
"And who are you?"
"I am Leo, a warrior of the Tontatta Tribe!" Leo said earnestly.
"Mr. Leo, where exactly is this?" Nico Robin looked around and asked, "And what about that Long Nose who was captured with me?"
Where is he?
Although she didn't know what was going on, Nico Robin instinctively began gathering information in order to prepare for what might happen next.
"That Long Nose Giant Race has also been arrested according to his country's laws," Kabu said.
"The laws of this country..."
Nico Robin's eyes flickered, and she said, "So, this is your country?"
"That's right, this is the underground of the Magnificent Forest cultivated by my Tontatta Tribe, the capital of our kingdom."
"The Magnificent Forest?" Nicole Robin exclaimed in surprise. "You mean the Green Bit?"
"Did you cultivate those enormous plants?"
Those enormous plants were cultivated by such a small group of people?
Is it really that amazing?
"That's right, there's no plant in this world that my race can't cultivate!" Leo said proudly.
This was the most powerful method of their Tontatta Tribe, and he was very proud of it.
Just then, Kabu said warily, "Everyone be careful, she's such a Giant Race, she can grow many arms from the ground!"
"Huh?"
"Does such power still exist?"
The surrounding Tontatta stared at Nico Robin in astonishment, taking several steps back in fear that Nico Robin might suddenly attack.
"That's right, she has that kind of power," Kabu said. "I guess it's some kind of magical technique; it's so fast that even I couldn't react."
Hearing what the other person said, the surrounding Tontatta became even more frightened.
If even Mr. Kabu couldn't react, then there's even less chance they could.
Thinking of this, they took a few steps back again.
Nico Robin, observing everyone's reactions, frowned subconsciously, thinking, 'Using my ability should allow me to escape, but... that would only result in burning and charring, further damaging our relationship.'
Finding Usopp won't be an easy task then.
With that in mind, Nicole Robin temporarily abandoned her plan to escape and decided to see what was going on with these people.
It would be even better if they could use words to persuade the other party to let Usopp go.
"Alright, Giant Race, now I'm asking you," Leo said, staring intently into Nico Robin's eyes, "What is your purpose in coming here?"
"Are they here to destroy the Tontatta Tribe?"
"No."
Nico Robin instinctively tried to lift her head, but her hair was sewn to the ground, preventing her from doing so, so she had to give up.
She then continued, "I only acted out of curiosity; I had no malicious intent."
"If this has caused you any dissatisfaction, I apologize."
"Sorry..."
"Hmph, no matter the reason, we will not let someone who has seen the true form of our Tontatta Tribe leave here alive."
"How could this be?"
Nico Robin said with a somewhat grim expression, "I never intended to hurt you."
"And I can assure you I won't mention anything about you to anyone, is that still not enough to let us go?"
As she spoke, Nico Robin prepared to activate her Devil Fruit power.
If these guys really have no intention of letting her go, then she'll have no choice but to fight to the death.
After all... she didn't have the habit of sitting idly by and waiting to die!
"Stop lying," Leo said. "Who would believe such a lie?"
It's true!
Looking at Nico Robin's serious expression, Leo paused for a moment, then smiled and pulled off the Silk Thread binding Robin, saying, "So it's true. Oh well, never mind then."
"Huh?"
Nico Robin stared at Leo in astonishment. This guy actually believed it?
"So they won't tell anyone. Looks like this Giant Race is a good Giant Race ~"
"That's wonderful!"
The other Tontatta also smiled, and then happily helped Nico Robin untie herself.
"Huh?!?"
Nicole Robin was stunned. They actually believed it?!
Did you really trust someone so easily?
Aren't they afraid of being the bad guys?!
Looking at these smiling little ones, Nicole Robin was at a loss for words.
"It's untied," Leo said with a smile, looking at Nico Robin. "You can stand up now."
"Thanks..."
Knowing she was now free, Nico Robin slowly got up from the ground, but her mind was still a little dazed.
Are these guys really that trusting?
"Giant Race, here's your glasses back," a Tontatta said with a laugh.
As he spoke, he returned the Sunglasses to Nicole Robin.
"Ah, thank you very much."
Nico Robin picked up the Sunglasses and instinctively put them on, then began to subtly survey her surroundings.
'I don't see Usopp...'
Were they detained somewhere else?
Hopefully, this guy didn't admit he was a bad guy, otherwise... he might be in for a beating.
However, considering that guy's personality, Nico Robin gradually relaxed.
With Usopp's intelligence, he should be able to figure this out.
Hmm, I'll ask Leo about Usopp later.
