The Way of Survival for Men

Senor Pink ignored their reactions and continued calmly, "And the only time I'll stand directly in front of them is when I'm about to steal a woman's kiss."

Ah~

"I can't take it anymore!"

The girls gasped again, their faces flushing with excitement.

"Senor Pink!" The henchmen, their faces streaked with tears, watched Senor Pink's retreating figure and exclaimed, "You're a true man!"

Ah, that's a real tough guy!

Franky:???

"You're all incredibly stupid!" Franky roared, opening his shark-like mouth.

Whether a man is tough or not has nothing to do with women, you bastard!

Thinking of this, Franky was about to say something more, but before he could open his mouth, he saw Senor Pink activate his Devil Fruit power again and gradually sink into the ground.

"Um?"

Seeing this strange scene, Franky asked in confusion, "What kind of ability user are you?"

Could this guy be the Devil Fruit User?

In other words... I'm fighting the Top Executive of the Donquixote Family?

Thinking about this, Franky actually got a little excited.

Unfortunately, Senor Pink did not answer Franky's question, but instead disappeared before his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Franky frowned, then without hesitation punched the spot where Senor Pink had just been standing.

"Boom!!"

The terrifying force punched a huge crater in the ground!

Unfortunately, it didn't hit Senor Pink himself.

"Um?"

Franky glanced at Senor Pink, who had appeared around him as if swimming, Franky brow furrowed even deeper. Just what kind of ability user was this guy?

"I am Swimmer ate the Swim-Swim Fruit."

As he spoke, Senor Pink emerged from underground again, landing steadily in front of Franky, and continued, "You can swim freely anywhere."

"Ha?"

A few question marks appeared on Franky's forehead. He asked, "What does this have to do with water?"

Judging from the name... shouldn't the Swim-Swim Fruit be able to create water?

Just like the Water Release Technique of Xi Yan, it can freely create water on land.

What's with this "swimming only" thing?!

"Because it allows you to swim like you're swimming on the ground," Senor Pink insisted.

Franky:...

Franky fell silent; he felt this explanation was somewhat far-fetched.

Forget it, let's just take care of this guy first.

With that thought in mind, Franky raised his right hand towards Senor Pink and launched an attack without hesitation.

"Strong Right Hand!"

"Whoosh~"

The right hand, detached from the arm, flew out with a whoosh, heading straight for Senor Pink in the distance!

Upon seeing this, Senor Pink leaped forward and plunged into the ground, successfully dodging the attack.

"Boom!!"

"Tch, here we go again."

Ignoring the wall he had blasted apart, Franky withdrew his arm, frowned, and looked at Senor Pink was roaming around him, saying, "What a nuisance."

His attacks are really not suited to dealing with such a fast guy.

But now that we're here, we have to take this guy down!

Thinking of this, Franky launched another attack, but Senor Pink dodged it again.

"That's Lihai!"

The women watched Senor Pink's retreating figure with excitement, saying, "He completely manipulated the cyborg."

"Senor Pink, hurry up and kill that scoundrel!"

"Tasteless?"

Franky snorted and said, "That's because you don't understand the charm of Cyborg."

"What a pitiful bunch of women."

Franky then revealed all the modifications he had made to his body, fully showcasing his Cyborg form.

"See that?!"

Franky laughed and said, "The beauty of this steel machinery!"

"This is the coolest thing ever!"

As he spoke, Franky struck a few poses, feeling increasingly pleased with himself.

Unfortunately... these women simply don't know how to appreciate beauty.

"Ha, I don't understand it at all," a woman said speechlessly. "What's so good about this kind of thing?"

"Exactly," another woman chimed in, "Senor Pink's taste and charm are a million times better than yours!"

"Shut up, all of you."

"Senor Pink?"

"You young girls, stop interfering with men's survival strategies," Senor Pink said calmly, glancing at them. "You're all still too green."

"How to survive?"

"That's right."

Senor Pink said, "I'm not wearing this pacifier or this bib for you to judge."

"This appearance is my way of survival!"

As a man with a story to tell, Senor Pink knew very well that the other man's appearance also suggested a story to tell.

Therefore, he wouldn't allow these young girls to mock another man's way of life.

"Ah!"

"Senor Pink!"

"I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry..."

"It seems we really did make a mistake."

Upon hearing this, Senor Pink nodded, which could be considered as him forgiving the group of young girls.

Then, Senor Pink looked at Franky and said, "It's not that I can't understand your way of life; after all... we're both men."

"You bastard..."

Looking at Senor Pink's serious face, Franky felt like he understood something.

But before he could even speak, Senor Pink rushed towards him and kicked him.

Seeing this, Franky quickly raised his arms to block Senor Pink's attack, but he also slid backward a short distance.

Senor Pink wasn't surprised to see this, after all, if his opponent were defeated so easily, he wouldn't have such a high bounty.

Then, Senor Pink continued, "But no matter what, we are enemies, and that's the most important thing!"

"Hmph, yeah."

Franky grinned and said, "We're enemies, that's the most important thing."

Although this enemy is a bit strange, he has to defeat him this time, so there's no need to worry too much about it; just do it!

With that thought in mind, Franky charged toward Senor Pink once again.

This time, Senor Pink didn't choose to burrow into the ground; instead, he rushed up and exchanged a powerful punch with Franky.

"Clang!"

"Boom!!"

Meanwhile, on the other side...

While Franky and Senor Pink were fighting, Usopp and the others had already quickly arrived near the Underground Trade Port through the tunnel.

"We're almost at the Trade Port!" Kyros shouted. "Everyone, be alert!"

"Profound!"

The Tontatta roared loudly, gripping their weapons tightly, ready for battle.

Seeing this, Usopp paused for a moment, then looked at the Tontatta carrying them and said, "Thank you for carrying us."

They could have crawled slowly through the hole, but that would have been far too slow.

So they had no choice but to Leo and the others to carry him and Robin.

As for Perona?

This creature was floating right next to him, completely ignoring any objects it might collide with, and it was moving at a very fast speed!

"It's nothing, it's what we should do," Leo said with a smile. "It's our honor to be able to help the hero Uso Landu."

"That's right!"

"Profound!"

Hearing these people's words, Usopp grinned from ear to ear; the feeling of being praised was simply wonderful.

"Team leader!"

A tiny Tontatta holding a small Den Den Mushi shouted, "Fran Landu is already fighting in the Toy House! He's battling Senor Pink from the Donquixote Family!"

"Is that so?"

Kyros said with some concern, "Will he be alright?"

Although the other party said they would cause a huge scene, this time their opponent is a powerful executive of the Donquixote Family.

"No need to worry," Usopp laughed. "That guy is a super Cyborg, a powerful individual."

"But according to the intelligence we received earlier, four officers have already begun to assist in the defense of the Toy House," Kyros said.

He obtained this information after entering the tunnel.

"Cadre?"

"Four cadres?!"

Usopp's smile gradually faded. If it were four enemies, Franky might not be able to hold on.

"I'll send out a few Negative Ghost," Perona said. "That way we can provide timely support to him."

As long as the enemy she faces this time isn't Haki expert, her Spirit-Spirit Fruit ability will come in very handy!

Then, without further ado, Perona decisively released several Negative Ghost, intending to support Franky as quickly as possible.

Usopp was relieved to see this; with Perona's Negative Ghost around, the danger on Franky's side would be much less.

Nicole Robin then asked, "What kind of executive is coming?"

"It's the Diamante Army," a Tontatta explained.

"The Diamante Army?" Usopp asked curiously, "Are they very powerful?"

"That's right, they're very powerful, because they're from the Fighting Group!"

"And what is Fighting Group?"

"It's another name for the Diamante Army," another Tontatta explained. "If they participate in arenas, all four of them can win with a 100% success rate; they are superstars who dominate the Colosseum."

"Therefore, the Diamante Army is also known as the Fighting Group."

"Hundred percent?"

Usopp paused for a moment, then looked surprised and said, "Doesn't that mean they've maintained an undefeated record?"

How strong must this guy be?

Is everything alright with Franky?

"That's right," Kyros said with a solemn expression, "In other words... no one knows just how strong those four people truly are."

It's fair to say that they will face a very difficult battle this time.

But they are willing to pay any price to defeat the Donquixote Family!

"And what about Haki?"

Perona quickly asked, "How's their Haki level?"

"I don't know about that," Kyros shook his head and said, "Because the enemy hasn't fought in Dressrosa many times, we can't get any information on that."

"But judging by the standards of the New World... they should all be Haki."

Regardless, they are all subordinates of Doflamingo, one of the Shichibukai, so it's normal for them to Haki.

After all... these guys are cadres!

"It seems Franky's battle is going to be tough," Perona said with a serious expression.

Moreover... if the opponent is Haki, her Negative Ghost might not be of much use.

"Let's take it one step at a time," Nico Robin said. "After all, we can't go and help Franky right now."

Everyone has their own things to do, so for now, they have no choice but to trust Franky.

Seeing that Nicole Robin had said so, Perona nodded and said nothing more.

But no matter what, her Negative Ghost is definitely going to be there.

As for whether it will be effective?

We'll see!

"Oh, right, Leo."

Usopp turned to look at Leo and asked, "How many people are in the enemy's main force?"

This "main force" naturally refers to the enemy's cadres.

As for those low-level thugs?

Those guys probably aren't that strong, so there's no need to pay them too much attention.

"Commanding the two thousand subordinates within the country are the ten current executives of the Donquixote Family," Leo said. "And above them are three Top Executive."

"The three of them each led three very different armies."

"First is the Trebol Army; they are a special ability squad."

"Among its members is Sugar, Devil Fruit User."

"Violet, Devil Fruit User."

"Jiao La, Devil Fruit User."

"They're all Devil Fruit users!" Usopp exclaimed in surprise.

However, he felt relieved when he thought about how Doflamingo was one of the Shichibukai and the King of the Underworld.

Yes, if the Straw Hat Pirates have so many Devil Fruit User, it's no wonder that someone like Doflamingo could get his hands on so many Devil Fruits.

"Yes, they are all ability users." Leo nodded, then continued, "Next up is Diamante's Fighting Group."

"Rao G, a pure Martial Faction, skilled in hand-to-hand combat, not a power user."

"Machvise, Devil Fruit User the Ton-Ton Fruit, can reach an incredibly terrifying weight in an instant."

"Deringer, a half-fish, half-merman, is also skilled in hand-to-hand combat, but his most powerful features are his teeth and dorsal fin."

"Senor Pink Pokémon, the Water Fruit user, is a man who prides himself on being a tough guy."

"Devil Fruit User?"

Usopp looked shocked and said, "Is he the Water-Water Devil Fruit User I'm thinking of?"

"Can you freely summon water on land?"

If the other party truly possesses such abilities, then this guy is practically the nemesis of those with special abilities.

Fortunately, it was Franky who went to deal with this guy this time; otherwise, other ability users would definitely have suffered a great loss!

After all... they were all terrified of seawater!!!

"If that's the case, then this guy is quite dangerous," Nico Robin said, frowning.

After all, they have a lot of ability users on their side.
