Advanced Stitching: Rainbow Patchwork!

"Leo, hurry up!" Violet shouted, her face grim.

"I'll be there soon!" Leo shouted.

Although he didn't know the specifics of the situation over there, Leo could guess something from Princess Viola's tone, so he ran even faster.

"What's wrong, Viola?"

King Riku looked at his daughter with a puzzled expression. Why had her face turned so pale since earlier?

"Jiao La discovered Mansherry's healing power through her tears," Violet said grimly. "To make her cry, she's currently using violence against her."

Give her some more time, Mansherry definitely won't be able to hold on!

"Huh?"

"Violence?"

"Princess!!"

Mao Ye's face immediately changed, and tears streamed down his face.

"Wait for me, Mao Ye is coming to rescue you right now!"

That despicable Jiao La dared to hit the princess! He won't let that bastard get away with it!

"It's no use going," the Tontatta who had grabbed him shouted excitedly. "It's too far from the Royal Palace; you won't make it in time."

"So let's leave it to Leo and Mr. Kabu."

Unfortunately, Mao Ye wouldn't listen and continued to struggle violently.

"The princess of the Tontatta Tribe is a healer?" Usopp asked in surprise.

"That's right."

Violet nodded and said, "She's a user of the Heal-Heal Fruit; her basic ability is to heal all injuries of living beings."

Upon hearing this, Galette's eyes flickered; it was indeed similar to her earlier guess.

That little girl really is Devil Fruit User.

The Heal-Heal Fruit... the Heal-Heal Fruit that can heal all injuries...

What a pity, it would be great if this Devil Fruit could be given to their family.

"No wonder the enemy wants it too," Perona said, frowning.

Using this ability, the enemy can cure those unconscious cadres.

At that point... they'll be at a disadvantage.

'Damn it, if I had known it would be like this, I would have sent the ghost to the Royal Palace earlier,' Perona thought to herself, annoyed.

While she might not be as fast Leo, she's certainly better than just watching.

"That Jiao La is planning to use Mansherry's abilities to revive the defeated executives," Violet said with a grim expression. "If she succeeds, all our efforts will have been in vain."

"Does that mean even if we defeat the enemy, it's useless?" Usopp's expression changed. "As long as Mansherry's tears are there, the enemy can rise again."

How can we fight like this?

"Can you... stay standing...?"

Sweat beaded on Kin'emon's face; wasn't this ability a bit too overpowered?

Violet didn't speak, but gave the two of them an affirming look.

Usopp paused for a moment, then sniffled and said, "That's terrible."

"Leo, please!"

Having calmed down, Mao Ye stared at the Den Den Mushi and shouted, "We must rescue the princess!"

"I will definitely rescue the princess!" Leo shouted.

He now understands what's going on over there.

Therefore... he will absolutely not let Jiao La succeed!

"Hey, Princess Viola," Usopp suddenly looked up at Violet and said, "Isn't Sugar there too?"

She's there.

"Huh?!!"

Upon hearing this, Usopp was so frightened that his eyes bulged out.

At that moment, the terrifying side of Sugar appeared in his mind.

[Turn me into a toy, you wretched Long Nose bastard!]

Weng~

The next moment, touched by the Sugar, he turned into a toy...

"Ah!!"

"No!"

Galette:???

Seeing Usopp's eyes bulging out of his head in fright, Galette was immediately filled with questions. What was wrong with this guy now?

Although that guy named Sugar has some terrifying abilities, he still lost to him twice.

In this situation, would he also be afraid?

Usopp ignored Galette and looked excitedly at Violet, saying, "If those guys are really resurrected, all our efforts over the past few months will have been for nothing!"

"Especially Sugar, she can build an army of toys!"

Given enough time, she could create a lot of fearless toys.

"That's what I was worried about too," Violet said, clenching her fist. "So now we can only rely on you, Leo."

"I know!"

Leo gritted his teeth, his legs swinging rapidly, so fast that they were almost invisible as afterimages.

"I saw it!"

"Punishment House!"

Leo's eyes flashed with coldness as he looked at the small house ahead.

Then, Leo rushed to the people at the door and killed them in an instant.

After dealing with those guys, Leo rushed into the house.

"Found it!"

"Leo!"

Looking at Leo, who seemed like a savior, Mansherry trembled with excitement.

Her hero has finally come to save her!

"It's too late to be here now," Jiao La said with a smirk.

This little girl's tears are about to fall!

Then, Jiao La moved Mansherry forward, intending to let her tears fall onto his subordinate.

"Rise!" Jiao La shouted. "Donquixote Family executives, the second round of battle is about to begin!"

"Oh, hahaha~"

As she spoke, Jiao La began to spin around, scattering the tears that Mansherry had shed.

Leo, who had just dealt with the henchmen, changed his expression upon seeing this. Princess Mansherry had finally burst into tears.

"Leo!"

Kabu, who noticed this from behind, shouted, "Get out of the way!"

"You go deal with Jiao La, I'll handle these officers!"

After saying that, Kabu ran past Leo and quickly arrived at the side of the cadres.

"Rhinoceros Beetle Uppercut!"

"Bump!"

With a single blow, all the cadres were sent flying, preventing them from seeing Princess Mansherry's tears!

"What?!"

Jiao La's face turned pale the moment he realized his plan had failed.

No, we have to do it again, or their family will be finished!

Thinking of this, Jiao La was about to walk towards the officers, but Leo didn't give her the chance.

After Kabu knocked the executives away, Leo rushed over and used his Devil Fruit ability to sew stitches into their bodies.

"You think this will stop me?" Jiao La snapped. "Putting them together is perfect, I can also..."

"You think I'd give you that chance?"

Leo, who quickly arrived at Jiao La's side, activated his Devil Fruit ability again, sewing Silk Thread onto Jiao La's body.

What are you going to do?

"You always say you're important family," Leo said coldly, clutching a loose thread. "Today, I'll sew you all together, never to be separated again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Leo gave the thread a sharp tug.

"High-end stitching with seven-color patchwork!"

The next moment, the cadres scattered in all directions flew towards Jiao La and crashed into her.

"Bump!"

"Ah!"

Jiao La, struck by a series of heavy blows, immediately let out a shrill scream before rolling her Byakugan back and losing consciousness.

Princess Mansherry fell from the sky as a result, but she was not afraid at all, because she knew her knight would catch her.

' Leo... you've finally come to save me.'

Just like... a prince in Fairy Tale, he's so handsome!

The next moment, Princess Mansherry landed in Leo's arms, and the danger was completely over.

"We made it!"

Having witnessed the entire process, Violet exclaimed excitedly, "That was A Matter of Life and Death!"

If Leo and Kabu had arrived just a few seconds later, all those executives would have been resurrected.

Fortunately... they made it in time!

"Really?" Usopp swallowed hard.

"Um."

Violet nodded seriously and said, "None of the officers were able to get back on their feet, and Jiao La was killed by Leo."

"Profound!"

"Very good!"

Usopp jumped up excitedly; now he had absolutely no worries!

Perona breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "Leo is quite capable."

No wonder he became the captain of the Reconnaissance Unit; this guy is indeed a very reliable person.

"Yes, he has always been a very capable person," Violet said with a smile.

A smile appeared on Violet's face as she looked at the few small figures in the Royal Palace.

What an adorable bunch of little guys!

"Leo..."

Mansherry looked at Leo with teary eyes and said, "I was so scared just now."

As she spoke, Mansherry blinked, hoping Leo would say something comforting.

To her surprise, Leo didn't offer any words of comfort; instead, he weighed her in his hand.

Then Leo said, "Princess... you've gotten heavier again~"

Mansherry:???

Mansherry, who had just managed to build up her emotions, almost choked on Leo's words.

Then, she punched Leo in the face, her expression turning very displeased.

What is Leo saying at a time like this?!

"Still the same as always..." Kabu complained.

So, when is Leo finally going to get it?

After shaking his head, Kabu glanced at the Great Gate and said, "Leo, we should go."

Now that the problems here have been resolved, there's no need to stay any longer. Let's go back soon.

"Yes, Mr. Kabu is right." Leo put Mansherry down and said, "There's no point in staying here any longer. Let's go back to Lady Viola and the others."

Riding on Mr. Kabu's Rhinoceros Beetle, they can easily reach the Old Royal Palace Heights.

"Leo."

"Um?"

Hearing Mansherry call out, Leo turned his head and looked at her in confusion. What was this willful princess up to now?

When Leo looked at her, Mansherry stretched out her arms as if she wanted a hug.

"Leo, my foot is hurt, you can carry me~" Mansherry said with a smile, "You can also hug me~"

"Here we go again."

Leo gave a somewhat disgusted look and said, "The princess's capricious request."

"If you're really injured, you can just heal yourself."

The other party is Devil Fruit User, how could they be unable to move simply because they are injured?

Using your abilities will heal you completely!

Leo then continued, "Also, Princess, you've always been a fast runner, so you can escape with us."

"Alright, come with us now."

Hearing Leo's words, Mansherry was immediately furious, her face turning red and puffed up with anger.

"Then I'm not running away," Mansherry said angrily.

"Huh?"

"Here we go again!"

Looking at Mansherry, who had plopped down on the ground, Leo exclaimed in disbelief, "The princess's fickleness!"

"Nobody's begging you to save me."

"This is infuriating!" Leo said, disgruntled. "What kind of attitude is that?"

"Are we really going to leave you here?!"

"Whatever~"

"Hmph~"

Leo:!!!

Leo was furious when he saw Mansherry sticking her tongue out at him.

What exactly does this capricious princess mean?!

"You..."

"Bump!"

Before Leo could continue speaking, Kabu punched Leo on the head, giving him a large bump.

"Mr. Kabu?"

"It's just memorizing it," Kabu said speechlessly. "Go memorize it now!"

We're in a hurry!

Leo is such an idiot! Can't he see that Princess Mansherry said those things because she likes him?

This is clearly a little girl asking for a hug from the person she likes, but Leo, that blockhead, can't see it and is instead annoyed with her.

For a moment, Kabu didn't know what to say.

Leo had no choice but to go over and carry Mansherry on his back, then run off into the distance with Kabu.

"That's enough." Leo said speechlessly, looking at Mansherry clinging to his back. "This capricious, fickle, and short-tempered princess is unbearable."

Mansherry ignored Leo and instead nestled comfortably against Leo back.

She already knew what kind of person this idiot was, so there was no need to care too much; achieving her goal was all that mattered.

'The princess is so kind to everyone...' Kabu thought to himself, 'But you're special, Leo.'

I wonder when this slow-witted guy will realize Princess Mansherry's feelings.

Then, Kabu noticed Mansherry's unusual expression; her face was gradually turning red, clearly indicating that she had thought of something, which made Kabu smile like an aunt.

Sure enough, a girl's blush speaks louder than any sweet words, but unfortunately, Leo just couldn't understand it.

Oh, right, the blushing from anger earlier doesn't count.

After shaking his head, Kabu quickly led the two away from there.

"Hateful..."

Jiao La, barely regaining consciousness, looked up at the Den Den Mushi not far away.

"So close... Damn Tontatta!"

No, this is too serious; we must report it to the young master as soon as possible.

With that thought in mind, Jiao La began to try to crawl towards the Den Den Mushi, but unfortunately, her injuries were too severe, and she was unable to crawl over.

'No, my consciousness is starting to fade again...'

Jiao La, realizing she was about to faint again, turned extremely pale.

It's over... She can't tell the young master what's going on here.

Damn it, oh damn it!

Since the plan here has failed, we must save the Factory!

Senor Pink, you must protect the Factory!

As long as the Factory exists, the Donquixote Family has the ability to make a comeback!

So... Senor Pink, even if you die, you must protect the Factory!!

After that last thought flashed through his mind, Jiao La lost consciousness.
