Hero

"Hey, how much longer are we going to have to wait?"

Luffy said impatiently, "Just let me in and beat Doflamingo away!"

Waiting here is unbearable.

"No."

Violet shook her head and said, "If we act now, their entire operation will be in vain."

Seeing that Violet was repeating the same thing, Luffy frowned but didn't say anything more.

Xi Yan then asked, "What's the situation over there now?"

"Let me take a look."

After saying that, Violet closed her eyes and began to use her Devil Fruit powers to observe the situation over there.

Then, with a hint of fear, she said, "It's over..."

"What's wrong?"

"The warriors of the Tontatta Tribe were killed by Trebol, the Top Executive of the Donquixote Family."

"What?"

Kyros's expression immediately changed. Leo and the others had actually been killed?

How can we turn him back into a human?

Xi Yan frowned upon hearing this. They were all wiped out?

What about their companions?

Luffy replied, "My crew should be with them."

"Yes, that Long Nose gentleman is there."

"It's Uso Landu!"

Kyros clenched his fist. With this man, hailed as a hero of the Tontatta Tribe, there should still be hope.

Violet clearly understood Kyros's meaning, but things didn't turn out as she had imagined.

That guy looks like he's trying to run away!

Violet glanced at the people staring at her, then hesitated, unsure whether she should speak up.

"Let's wait a bit longer," Luffy said calmly. "With that guy around, everything will be fine."

"Huh?"

Violet looked at Luffy with some surprise. How could this guy be so confident in that Long Nose?

Luffy, Luffy grinned and said, "Usopp is a man of his word."

"Since he said he would help the little people defeat the enemy, he can definitely do it!"

Although he didn't know exactly what had happened over there, he believed that Usopp could definitely do it.

Xi Yan nodded in agreement. That guy was a man who could create miracles in desperate situations, and now that he had eaten the More-More Fruit, he believed that the other party could do it too.

Seeing that both of them reacted this way, Violet didn't say anything more, but nodded to indicate that she understood.

Now, all we can do is wait.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

While Xi Yan and the others were talking about Usopp himself had already escaped from the Executive Tower and was quickly walking away into the distance.

"One by one... they're all the same."

Usopp, pulling his hat down as he walked through the crowd, said in a low voice, "Why come here to fight when you can't defeat the enemy?"

Also, why would he agree to let someone come here with the Tontatta Tribe to attack the Donquixote Family's Executive Tower?

Usopp could never understand this matter.

However, this did not stop him from escaping outside.

"Going out through the hole we just came from isn't really feasible anymore, so let's take the elevator instead," Usopp muttered.

"Hey, where are you going?" a henchman asked, puzzled.

Shouldn't we be staying here and waiting for orders from the family leaders?

Unfortunately, Usopp ignored the guy, dodged his arm, and quickly walked away, soon disappearing from his sight.

"I hope those guys didn't notice me."

Meanwhile, Executive Tower, Sugar and Trebol were observing the Tontatta who were on the verge of losing consciousness.

"They've tried to make me eat this repeatedly," Sugar said, holding the Tabasco Star in her hand. "It must be poison."

As she spoke, Sugar leaned closer to take a sniff, then showed a disgusted expression and said, "It smells awful too."

I really don't know what these guys were thinking, actually planning to kill her in such a low-level way...

"They're really naive."

Trebol smiled, then picked up the Den Den Mushi and connected to the radio.

"Hey, you guys out there!" Trebol yelled, "Aren't you doing your job properly?"

"I didn't ask you to just stand there and watch the show, you bunch of idiots!"

If all these guys stop, it will delay the transaction process, so we need to get these idiots back to work.

"Not good!"

Upon hearing this, the henchmen below changed their expressions and quickly led their companions to their work location.

"Quickly, get back to work!"

"Get moving!"

"Don't slack off on those toys over there!"

In an instant, the Underground Factory, which had been shut down, started operating again.

Meanwhile, the toys carrying goods set their sights on the direction of the Executive Tower.

'It looked like someone was rebelling against the Donquixote Family just now...' one of the toys thought to himself. 'I've worked here for eight years, and this is the first time I've seen this.'

Anyone will do, just destroy this place quickly, so that we toys can return to our human form.

Unfortunately, Usopp, on whom he had placed so much hope, was desperately searching for an elevator to leave the area.

"What should we do with these guys?" Sugar asked, pointing to Leo and the others on the ground.

If we were to kill all of the Tontatta Tribe, it would probably affect the Factory's progress.

Trebol was also having a headache over this, since they needed these little things to create Artificial Devil Fruit.

Then, as if he had heard something, Trebol looked down at the Tontatta below.

"Uso... Land... Du."

"Uso Landu..."

"Hey, what are they saying?" Trebol asked, puzzled.

As they were talking, Trebol leaned closer to listen and then clearly understood what these guys were saying.

"Uso Landu?"

"Yes, it is indeed Uso Landu." Sugar nodded and said, "It seems to be the name they mentioned earlier."

Perhaps... this is the guy who helped the Tontatta get here?

"Uso... Lando."

"Lando..."

"Uso..."

"Uso Landu!"

As Leo roared, Usopp, who was running, froze on the spot.

'Hey, hey, hey, stop yelling!' Usopp shouted in his mind.

If he gets discovered, he'll die here!

After mentally shouting a command, Usopp moved again, even faster than before.

Those around looked in the direction of the Executive Tower with confusion. What was that guy shouting about?

"Hey." Trebol looked at Leo curiously and asked, "Who is this Uso Landu you're talking about?"

"I already said they're companions of those Tontatta I just mentioned," Sugar said speechlessly. "Didn't you find out yourself?"

"You're so stupid, go to hell."

"No way, you brat!"

"Hahaha~"

Sugar snorted. This guy can be really annoying sometimes.

Leo, who was lying on the ground, had fully recovered by this time.

"U... Uso Landu is our hero."

"Hero?"

Holding the microphone, Trebol curiously leaned closer to Leo and asked, "Will he come to save you?"

As he spoke, Trebol moved the microphone closer to his face.

If that guy dares to come back to rescue people, I can also take care of that little Nezumi while I'm at it.

"We definitely will!" Leo smiled and said, "Not only us, Uso Landu said he would rescue everyone."

"Including the toys that are forced to work underground every day."

"Huh?"

Are they talking about us?

Upon hearing Leo's words, the toys abruptly turned their heads to look in the direction of the Executive Tower.

That guy named Uso Landu actually plans to rescue them all as well?

"Rescue the toy?"

Trebol raised an eyebrow. That guy really had some wild ideas.

"That's right."

Leo nodded, then continued, "And our companions who were enslaved in the Factory, and... those toys who seem to walk happily in the streets, but are actually crying inside."

"And then there are the unfortunate humans who don't even realize they've lost their loved ones."

"Uso Landu said he would save everyone!"

"He is a legendary hero!"

Therefore, he believed that Uso Landu would definitely defeat these guys!

"Is that all you wanted to say?" Trebol said expressionlessly.

"Huh?"

Leo was taken aback. What did this guy mean?

"You guys are really pathetic," Trebol said, shaking his head. "It's all lies."

"You've been fooled again~"

"Huh?!"

"Really?"

The Tontatta looked shocked. Had they all been deceived by Uso Landu?

Is this possible?

That's their legendary hero!

"Tsk tsk."

Trebol stroked his chin, then pointed to Leo's injuries and said, "You're all injured like this, but that guy didn't even dare to show his face... That's the best proof!"

"Where are the heroes?"

"Um?"

Where can I find it?

"But..." a Tontatta raised his head with difficulty and said, "But that's what he said himself."

"Hahaha~"

"I already told you that was a lie," Trebol laughed. "He's probably hiding somewhere right now, laughing at you bunch of fools."

"Huh?"

The Tontatta looked shocked. Would Uso Landu really do that?

Seeing this, Trebol laughed even harder, then stroked his chin and continued, "Since you honest folks are saying this, then someone must have said something about rescuing everyone."

"However... don't get your hopes up for those guys who run away at the first sign of trouble."

Hero?

A hero isn't the kind of person who runs away at the first sign of danger, okay?

Hahaha~

"Unfortunately, he's basically right." Usopp, who had already escaped quite a distance, said in a low voice, "You guys should run too, and take care!"

As he spoke, Usopp sped up again.

Those Tontatta who heard Trebol's words showed expressions of grief, and tears streamed down their faces.

Were they really scammed?

"How so..."

Just then, Leo got up from the ground and looked at Trebol with an angry expression.

"Shut up..."

"Um?"

Trebol looked at Leo with a puzzled expression. What was this little guy saying?

"I told you to shut up!" Leo roared angrily, "Uso Landu wouldn't lie!"

In short, he directly controlled Usopp for several seconds.

"Why do you say that?" Trebol asked, bowing his head.

"Because..."

Recalling what Usopp had once told him, Leo said, "Because Uso Landu once said that no matter what happens to us, he will definitely come to save us."

So... even if it meant death, he believed in that man!

"That's right..."

The Tontatta nearby also realized what was happening, and struggled to their feet, saying, "Uso Landu did say that."

"That's right!"

We believe him!

The Tontatta began to shout, their expressions shifting from despair to determination.

"Because he promised us!" Leo shouted again, "Heroes don't lie to us!"

"If you insult Uso Landu, I will never forgive you!"

After he shouted those words, Usopp, who was running, stopped abruptly and remained silent for a long time.

Meanwhile, Perona, paralyzed, thought to herself, "Usopp, what the hell have you been doing?"

Come back and help quickly!

Nicole Robin, who was not far away, shared the same sentiment.

However, they all had one thing in common: they believed that Usopp wouldn't just abandon them like that.

After all... that guy is Usopp from the Straw Hat Pirates!

"You'd better wash your neck clean and wait!" Leo stared intently at Trebol and said, "Uso Landu will definitely defeat you!"

After saying that, Leo's body went limp and he collapsed to the ground, but his expression remained unchanged throughout.

"Is that so?"

"Then let me see."

After a cold laugh, Trebol raised his foot and stomped on Leo, causing Leo to let out a strange scream.

"Let's compete!"

"Hahaha~"

"It even let out a scream of 'Biya!'" Trebol laughed. "That's hilarious!"

"I never imagined that the screams of the Tontatta Tribe before their deaths would be like this."

This is so much fun! It's so much fun!

"Leo..."

Seeing Leo trampled under Trebol's feet, the Tontatta all wore expressions of sorrow. Had their brother been killed just like that?

However, the Tontatta quickly suppressed their sadness and looked at Trebol with murderous intent.

"Leo is right!"

"Uso Landu will definitely complete SOP Operation!" the Tontatta shouted. "Even if you kill us, you still..."

Before he could finish speaking, Trebol stepped on him, causing him to let out a scream.

"Hahaha~"

"This is so interesting."

"Hahaha!"
