Sugar Cut Down with a Sword, A World-Shaking River / A Deal with Viola, The Revolutionary Plan
A glint of light reflected off his red-rimmed glasses. Standing by the window, looking down at the kingdom below, his voice grew colder, "But I'm not someone to be trifled with! Today I'll show you why I can survive in this ruthless, man-eating New World!"
Soon, Doflamingo made two phone calls, one to Holy Land Mary Geoise and the other to Onigashima.
"Are you serious? That guy really showed up in Dressrosa!"
"Don't let him get away! I'll send someone over in a bit!!"
"What did you say? Shichibukai — Dongze? A mere ant dares to ruin our plans? I'll make sure Jack goes there himself!!"
Chapter 140 The Sword Cuts Through Sugar, The Long River Shocks the World
"Onyx! Want to buy grapes?"
In Dressrosa, on the street, a little girl wearing a monocle, a pink cloak, and a golden crown stood before Dongze and Robin. This girl was none other than Sugar.
The Devil Fruit User under Doflamingo's command.
Dongze continued walking, coldly stating, "I won't buy!"
"Pretty lady, please buy some! I haven't eaten for days!"
Sugar came under orders and naturally didn't want to leave empty-handed. Generally, she wouldn't be alone on the mission, because if she were to faint from fright, the humans she had previously turned into puppets with her abilities would revert to their original forms.
So Sugar usually has a powerful partner when she goes on missions. Normally it would be Trebol, but this time it's Diamante. Unfortunately, Diamante has been scared out of her wits by Dongze, and now she's all alone.
Sugar originally intended to go back, but thinking that the target probably hadn't seen her before, she figured it would be easier for her to succeed alone, so she decided to give it a try.
Robin's soft-hearted nature remained unchanged; upon hearing the little girl's words, he couldn't help but speak up.
"Dongze, why don't we buy some?"
"Onyxia~~"
Sugar put on a pitiful look, which softened Robin's heart.
"Dongze!"
A chilling glint flashed in Dongze's eyes. "Whatever!"
With Sword Intent swirling within his body, Dongze naturally wouldn't be afraid of Sugar's abilities. Five Sword Intent were enough to activate his Sword Intent Domain, and besides, he already possessed far more than five Sword Intent.
Looking at this bed warmer who was once again showing kindness indiscriminately, Dongze sighed softly in his heart and directly activated his Sword Intent Domain.
Then this scene unfolded: Sugar reached out and started groping Robin's long legs, then she was completely dumbfounded.
She knew her own abilities all too well; she could turn anyone she touched into a puppet, and it was always effective.
Throughout Dressrosa, countless humans and animals have been turned into dolls by her abilities. It can be said that Dressrosa's current situation is inextricably linked to her.
But today her ability failed. There was no seawater or Seastone here, and she didn't feel that powerless feeling in her body. Her ability was clearly not restricted.
Seeing the little girl's unusual behavior, Robin realized that something was wrong with the girl in front of him.
"What are you doing?"
Sugar looked at the woman in front of her as if she had seen a ghost. "What did you do?"
Robin was stunned; she hadn't done anything!
Just then, she heard Dongze's voice, "Heh! Is your Devil Fruit power not working anymore?"
"Sugar, one of the executives of the Donquixote Family Devil Fruit User!"
Upon hearing Dongze's words, Robin's expression turned cold. This little girl had actually taken advantage of his sympathy.
Upon hearing Dongze reveal her identity, Sugar's expression changed drastically, and she began to retreat tactically.
"Onijah! What are you saying? I don't understand a word!"
But how could Dongze possibly let her go!
"These puppets on the street were all created using your abilities, weren't they?"
"Onyxia, what are you saying? I really don't understand!"
Seeing the other party stubbornly charging towards him, Forgotten Dust was drawn from its sheath. The sword rang out softly, its clear, cold sound piercing through the noisy street and penetrating straight to the heart. Upon hearing this sound, Sugar couldn't help but shudder, a chill rising in her heart. Then, a flash of sword light appeared, and the next moment, a pair of hands flew out.
Dongze coldly said, "Since you don't want these hands anymore, then you don't have them!!"
Ah~~
A piercing scream rang out. Sugar stared blankly at her arms, her eyes filled with disbelief. She seemed unable to believe that her hands were gone just like that, and she never expected that the man in front of her would actually attack a little girl.
The streets were bustling with people. The women screamed at the sight. How could such a thing happen in broad daylight? Some of the men even picked up their weapons and surrounded Dongze.
The sword was too fast. After a moment, another piercing pain came, and Sugar's face turned pale.
Fortunately, she didn't cry, but her voice changed; it was no longer sweet and charming as before, but instead had a sinister and vicious quality.
"You bastard! How dare you cut off my hands! The young master will never let you get away with this!! He will definitely avenge me!! And you bitch, I'll slash your face and make you wish you were dead!!"
Upon hearing the other person's words, Dongze gave a cold laugh, "What, not pretending anymore?"
Looking at the eager crowd around him, Dongze narrowed his eyes, and his Conqueror's Haki emanated from his body. He didn't want to say anything to these people.
A group of pitiful people, deceived by Doflamingo, are now actually thinking of saving their enemy.
Dongze's Conqueror's Haki powerful, needless to say. Seeing the people falling like dumplings in front of him, he finally alerted the Donquixote Family executives who were nearby.
The first to arrive were Viola, Gladius, and Machvise.
One is the daughter of a former king, Devil Fruit User; another is Devil Fruit User; and the third is Devil Fruit User the Ton-Ton Fruit.
Upon seeing Sugar's appearance, the three of them couldn't help but change their expressions.
"Sugar!!"
"GeGeXiao~~"
"Asshole!!"
Three voices rang out simultaneously, and then the three men surrounded Dongze and Robin.
Seeing the three arrive, Sugar shouted with a hint of madness, "Kill him! He's the Shichibukai that the young master ordered us to investigate— Dongze!!"
Upon hearing this, the three men's expressions changed again. Seeing Dongze's unchanging expression, they all felt a chill in their hearts.
"It was him?"
The three exchanged a glance and said in unison.
They all knew about the mission Doflamingo had given them: the reward for finding Dongze's trail was one billion Beli; if he was captured alive, Doflamingo would help him fulfill one wish.
Upon hearing Sugar's words, Gladius and Machvise launched their attack without the slightest hesitation.
"Sword One, Long River!"
Dongze patted the Peerless Sword Case, and the sound of a mechanism turning reached their ears. Before they could get close, a Flying Sword had already pierced through the air and arrived.
The intense life-or-death crisis forced the two to abruptly stop in their tracks, grabbing Sugar from the ground and frantically retreating.
Viola, however, was left behind by Robin. Having already mastered Armament Haki and Observation Haki, Robin could easily deal with a support character.
The Sword Aura shattered the sound barrier, creating a powerful sonic boom, and the sky noticeably darkened. A dazzling sword light seemed to emerge from nothingness, revealing the Sword Intent. Amidst the sound of wind and sand, it was as if an immortal was dancing with a sword.
No one present could describe the spectacle of that sword strike, but they were all deeply shocked by its power. A bottomless crack stretched out for nearly a thousand meters from Dongze's body, and the houses on both sides of the sword mark were all reduced to dust and vanished with the wind.
"How is this possible?!"
Chapter 141 The Deal with Viola, The Revolutionary Plan
"Run! We can't stop this person!"
Upon seeing this attack, Gladius immediately turned and ran. With just one sword strike, he nearly cleaved the town in two. He wasn't unfamiliar with Swordmaster, but Dongze's attack completely shattered his fighting spirit.
That wasn't a battle, it was suicide.
He'd previously heard the other guy was just a greenhorn, but now, it's like he'd seen a ghost.
Viola, having witnessed this attack, had given up resisting, kneeling on the ground motionless, staring blankly at everything.
Watching the departing figure, Robin asked, "Aren't you going to chase after them?"
"It'll be easier to deal with them once they're all together!"
Dongze gazed into the distance, seemingly unconcerned about the three's escape.
"Dongze! This person..."
"She was just a pitiful person. She was actually a princess of the Dressrosa Kingdom, the daughter of the previous king, Riku Dold. Later, she was forced to join the Donquixote Family."
Upon hearing Dongze's words, Robin and Viola exchanged a glance and asked in unison, "How did you know?"
Dongze waved his hand, "Let her go! She still has a conscience!"
Robin shrugged. She was already used to Dongze's ability to predict the future, and it was rarely, no, she should say, 100% accurate.
So he let go of Viola.
Seeing that the other party knew everything about her, Viola suddenly had a thought, "Are you here to save this country?"
Dongze waved to Robin and walked into a restaurant. He didn't seem to want Viola to leave, even though she had followed him.
As a princess of Dressrosa, she knows some of the country's Secrets. This is something he wants to know as well.
For example, whether or not there are Poneglyph here can greatly contribute to improving his strength.
"I originally wanted to get an explanation from Doflamingo, but it seems Doflamingo's investigating me, which is a real shame!"
Would you like to hear my story?
Looking at the man before her, Viola blurted out these words as if possessed.
The next moment, her face flushed red. Looking at Robin's scrutinizing gaze, she suddenly wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"In no mood!"
Dongze's answer made her sigh in disappointment.
But the next moment, she heard Dongze say, "But I can make a deal with you!"
Upon hearing Dongze's words, Viola's eyes lit up. The heavy responsibility of restoring her kingdom weighed heavily on her shoulders, almost crushing her.
"What kind of deal? You can have anything you want as long as you help me get rid of Doflamingo!!"
Seeing the other person's resolute expression, Dongze's heart stirred, and he chuckled, lifting the other person's chin with one hand.
"Hehe!"
"Are you so sure I won't be the next Doflamingo?"
Viola's heart tightened as she looked at the man before her, at those eyes that held the stars and the sea. She bit her lower lip.
He said firmly, "I believe in you!"
"Dongze, I'm still here!"
Suddenly, Dongze heard Robin's sour voice, which made him awkwardly withdraw his hand.
Viola's face turned as red as a monkey's bottom.
After a moment of silence, Dongze spoke up, "I can help you with this, but transactions are always equal! Someday in the future, I need you to promise me one thing!"
Viola, perhaps having overheard, blushed and said, "If you can get rid of Doflamingo, I'm willing to be your woman!!"
Upon hearing Viola's words, Dongze's face darkened; that wasn't what he had just said.
"Hey! Viola, are you even hearing me?!"
Seeing that Dongze's expression was off, Viola asked in a low voice, "Wasn't that what you were talking about just now?"
"..."
Left with no other choice, Dongze repeated himself. Upon hearing this, Viola buried her face in her chest, burying it in her chest like an ostrich.
After a long pause, she finally said, "No problem!"
Your father is not actually dead!
The next moment, something earth-shattering happened; Viola was so surprised that she stood up abruptly.
Is this true?
