Galette's Worry: Could He Have Gone After Xi Yan?

"Yes." Diamante grinned. "Those things that look like scraps of paper are what I get after using my ability to make certain objects light and floaty."

"Yahahaha~"

Merry's expression immediately changed after hearing Diamante's explanation.

She seemed to know what this bastard was planning.

"I won't give you that chance!" Merry shouted.

While speaking, she activated her wind ability, intending to blow those lightweight objects away. But Diamante had clearly sensed her intentions beforehand and decisively canceled his Devil Fruit ability.

"Enjoy yourselves!" Diamante said with a laugh. "I'm sure you'll love the beautiful sight of stardust filling the sky."

"Yahahaha~"

"Buzz~"

While speaking, Diamante activated his Devil Fruit ability and restored his steel cape to its original form, intending to use it to withstand the attack head-on.

Then, he wore an expression as though watching a show, ready to enjoy these people's reactions.

But to his surprise, the stardust in the sky did not fall as he had expected. Instead, it began flying into the distance.

As soon as she finished speaking, the thorny iron balls began moving faster and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

Diamante: ...

He had miscalculated.

He had thought that little girl would be unable to stop this attack, or at least would not be able
