What Kind of Bizarre Ability Is This?

"Freedom on land summons water?"

Leo paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, he doesn't have that ability; he can only swim on land."

At least they haven't seen that guy summon seawater.

"Swim?"

Several question marks popped up above Usopp's head. What did he mean by only being able to swim on land?

What kind of Swim-Swim Fruit this?

After witnessing Xi Yan's abilities, Usopp felt that these abilities were really trash.

"What's the use of this ability?" Perona complained.

She couldn't imagine what use this ability could have. Could it be... to compensate for the fact that ability users couldn't swim?

If that's really the case, then this guy is definitely a bit mentally unstable.

"It would be pretty good for a sneak attack," Nico Robin said.

Being able to swim on land means that the opponent can freely dive underground, allowing them to attack those above ground.

If they used guns, the people above might not even have time to react.

"A sneak attack?"

Usopp was stunned for a moment, then cold sweat broke out on his face.

Yes, this ability is incredibly effective for surprise attacks.

"That man probably won't launch a sneak attack," Leo said.

"Why?" Usopp asked curiously.

Could it be that the other party has some other particular insistence?

"Well..." Leo thought about Senor Pink's character and said, "He calls himself a tough guy and always fights head-on, so the possibility of him using a sneak attack is very small."

At least that's what he saw.

Upon hearing this Usopp and Nico Robin exchanged a glance, and then simultaneously sighed.

"This kind of person is definitely suitable for Franky to deal with."

After all, Franky is a real tough guy.

Perona blinked upon hearing this. Franky?

It seems I don't know my partner well enough.

"Fran Landu?"

Kyros looked at Usopp curiously and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Because he's a tough guy too."

"I see."

Kyros nodded in understanding, not expecting that the man was also a tough guy like Senor Pink.

Leo then said, "Next up is Pica's special forces."

"Gladius, Devil Fruit User the Boom-Boom Fruit."

"Buffalo, Devil Fruit User."

"Baby-5, Devil Fruit User."

"They're all Devil Fruit users again," Perona remarked. "Doflamingo is really rich."

Looking at it this way, only two of Doflamingo's subordinates are not Devil Fruit User.

This guy is really willing to spend a lot.

"Yes, most of his subordinates are Devil Fruit User," Leo nodded.

This is one of the reasons why they found the enemy to be troublesome.

"We've met Buffalo and Baby-5 before," Usopp said. "They're on Punk Hazard."

He remembered that Law took the heads off those two guys, right? And they actually came back to Dressrosa alive?

You're so lucky.

Leo glanced at Usopp with some surprise, not expecting that the other had encountered these two enemies before.

However, he didn't dwell on it too much, so he nodded to indicate that he understood.

He then continued, "Besides these people, we also discovered that Doflamingo has two subordinates who are operating overseas."

"Top Executive - Vergo!"

"Cadre, Monet!"

"Ah, these two people."

Upon hearing these two familiar names, Usopp relaxed; these two were most likely dead.

"You've seen these two people before?"

Leo looked at Usopp in surprise; how come their hero knew everyone?

Kyros glanced at Usopp with some surprise. He had heard Usopp mention Monet, but Vergo hadn't.

"Yes, I've seen them." Usopp nodded. "If nothing unexpected happens, they should all be dead."

According to Xi Yan and Nami, those two were so badly beaten that they couldn't even stand up. Under such circumstances, the chances of surviving a massive explosion of that magnitude are extremely low.

Therefore, Usopp believed they must have died on Punk Hazard.

"That's great," Leo said with a smile.

Although those two are abroad, no one knows if they might suddenly return at this time, so it would be best to take them out in advance.

Then, Leo felt a surge of emotion.

'Truly a hero!'

They actually managed to take out their enemies ahead of time... that's Lihai!

"Our target this time is Sugar, right?" Usopp spoke again, "Which means our opponents are Trebol's special ability squad."

"Yes, that's right."

Usopp breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; if that meant their enemy wasn't that formidable Fighting Group.

This was good news for him, after all... his strength wasn't as great as he'd imagined.

As for Franky's side?

He could only silently cheer for Franky, since they couldn't offer Franky any support.

Then, Usopp looked down at Leo, intending to say something more, but before he could speak, Leo continued, "But they are all very strong, you know."

Usopp:!!!

What do you mean they're all very strong?!

Is it true or not?

"Real."

Leo nodded very seriously and said, "Very strong."

"Especially Trebol himself, his strength is ridiculously high."

"What kind of ability user is he?" Nico Robin asked.

If they could know in advance what kind of ability the other party possessed, they could be better prepared.

"This..."

Leo looked troubled and said, "Trebol is the most mysterious guy. Even if we monitor him for a long time, we still can't figure out what his abilities are."

All I know is... he can create some sticky slime.

The other party could move freely between the walls using the slime, but they couldn't tell exactly what it was.

"They seem to be very cautious," Nicole Robin said, frowning.

"What's the meaning?"

Usopp looked at Nico Robin with a puzzled expression, clearly not understanding what she was saying.

Seeing this, Nico Robin explained, "Didn't Leo say that this guy named Trebol would be Sugar's bodyguard? In this situation, maintaining secrecy is the best course of action."

"After all... the less information leaked, the safer the other side will be."

At least others can't formulate effective tactics based on the opponent's capabilities.

"Then we won't be safe!" Usopp said with a pained expression.

Not necessarily.

Perona said, "Maybe I can take him down in one move."

If the opponent's Haki aura is not strong enough or their alertness is insufficient, she can subdue them in an instant.

In this way, they would have a chance to quickly get close to Sugar and knock him unconscious.

"That's true."

Once Usopp realized how extraordinary Perona's abilities were, he gradually calmed down.

Although the enemy's Devil Fruit abilities are somewhat outrageous, their own Devil Fruit users are also incredibly overpowered, so their chances of winning are still quite good.

"Can't you pull yourself together?" Perona said to Usopp, "You're supposed to be a Devil Fruit user, for goodness' sake."

If I remember correctly, the previous owner of the More-More Fruit was World Destroyer World, right? That guy was a terrifying being who could rival Whitebeard.

In this situation, why is Usopp still so timid?

"What do you know?" Usopp turned his head away and said, "It's called caution."

He would never admit that he was a bit of a coward, especially when facing this guy he had defeated once before.

Perona:...

Cautious?

That's overly cautious!

Perona was too lazy to complain about this guy; after all, that's just his personality.

"Alright, we can see the exit now." Kyros stared at the light ahead and said, "We're almost there!"

"Profound!"

The Tontatta whispered a reply, then quickly rushed to the exit, heading towards their respective destinations as planned.

Usopp, on the other hand, was dragged out of the tunnel by Leo and crashed headfirst into the wall in front of him.

"Bump!"

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

Clutching the large bump that had suddenly appeared on his head, Usopp was in so much pain that tears welled up in his eyes.

Why did he crash directly into the wall?

He then glanced at Nicole Robin and found that she was completely unharmed.

In other words... the Tontatta below her turned in time?

"I'm sorry, Uso Landu!" Leo rushed over and asked, "Are you alright?"

They had never treated Giant Race like this before, and given the time constraints, they simply...

"It's... not bad, I guess."

Usopp, clutching his head, glanced at Leo's apologetic expression and sighed helplessly.

He could tell that the other person didn't do it on purpose, so he couldn't really blame them.

"That's good."

Leo breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at the area behind him and said, "We've arrived. This is the Underworld that hides the Trade Port and Factory."

"Through here, we can find Sugar."

As he spoke, Leo carefully surveyed his surroundings to avoid being discovered by the enemy.

Is this the place?

Usopp stood up and said, "Isn't it a bit too noisy here?"

"Didn't I say before that there are always people working here?" Perona said, "So it's not unusual for it to be noisy here."

After hearing Kyros's explanations, Perona felt that nothing that happened here was surprising.

"That's true..."

Usopp nodded, then looked up at Nico Robin, who was walking forward silently, and said, "Robin, you..."

"Gather some intelligence," Nico Robin said without turning her head.

Upon hearing this, Usopp and Perona exchanged a glance, then followed after them.

However, while moving, Perona also released some Negative Ghost to gather enough information as quickly as possible.

After watching the three leave, Kyros turned to Leo and the others and said, "I'm heading to the Royal Palace now. I'll leave things here in your care."

The moment Sugar faints, he will revert to a human body, at which point his strength will increase dramatically!

That will be the day Doflamingo dies!

"Yes, I understand." Leo nodded and said, "Leave this to us."

Kyros nodded, then turned and left without hesitation.

'Wait for me, Doflamingo!' Kyros roared inwardly, 'Even if it costs me my life, I will take your head!'

After Doflamingo is defeated, this country will achieve true freedom!

Having reaffirmed his conviction, Kyros turned and left.

Usopp and his companions were unaware of Kyros's departure; they were still observing their surroundings.

"That sound sounds a bit like it's coming from the ground," Usopp said. "Is it...?"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a conversation outside.

"Hey!" a man shouted angrily, "Who knocked over the goods?"

"The toys are all buried under the cargo!"

"Is this the problem with the toy?" another person said. "Is it going to be scrapped?"

If it's broken and unusable, throw it in the Scrapyard as soon as possible.

"Sorry..."

The toy quickly got up and said, "I can still work, please let me see my family."

Although he was forced to become a toy, he was willing to work here so that he could continue to see his family.

"Idiot," the man sneered, "Any piece of trash who can't meet their work targets should be thrown into the Scrapyard, understand?"

"Men, take him away and throw him into the Scrapyard!"

This piece of equipment is beyond repair and has no value, so let's get rid of it to avoid affecting the goods that follow.

"Yes!"

The two men standing nearby sneered upon hearing this, then grabbed the toy and led him toward the Scrapyard.

"Wait a minute!" the toy, caught in the trap, cried out in terror, "I can still keep working!"

"Don't throw me in the Scrapyard... Help!"

Unfortunately, his plea for help was pointless here, since... the other toys were also powerless to resist.

"So this is the Underworld...?"

Usopp, listening to the conversation outside, turned extremely pale. He simply couldn't imagine how painful it was for these people who had been turned into toys.

Perona frowned, her mood somewhat heavy, after all... she had seen far more than Usopp had heard.

It's fair to say that the situation below is far more complex than they imagined.

"Usopp, Perona," Nico Robin called out from the front, "You two, come here."

Upon hearing this, Usopp immediately went over and asked, "Robin, what exactly happened just now...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Nicole Robin stopped him.

"Shh~"

"Someone's there," Nicole Robin whispered.

After signaling Usopp to be quiet, Nico Robin turned and pointed into the distance, indicating that Usopp should look at the scene in the distance.

Seeing this, Usopp curiously approached, then revealed a look of shock.

"This... this is?!"
