" Devil Fruit User can turn any creature they touch into a toy, and can also establish a contract that prevents the creature from acting freely according to its own thoughts and makes it obedient to commands. Those turned into toys will be erased from the memories of others!"
"That's his most dangerous spot!"
"Erased from someone else's memory?" Sanji murmured, then a grim expression appeared on his face.
"You mean if one of us becomes a toy, we'll forget everything about him/her? It's as if that person never existed in our lives?"
"That's right!" Luo nodded calmly.
"How could that be? This sounds like a scam, doesn't it? Such an absurd thing couldn't possibly exist!" Zoro looked doubtful, expressing his disbelief. He then added:
"What if this person is a world-famous individual? Wouldn't everyone in the world who knew him forget him after he's turned into a doll?"
"Is this kind of power really Devil Fruit can achieve?"
"Indeed! That makes a lot of sense! It's really a bit outrageous to erase someone's memories!" Robin nodded in agreement.
The others around them also found it hard to believe that such an ability existed.
"That's right, maybe we can try it out!" Zoro seemed to have thought of something, a smile appeared on his lips, and then he looked at Sanji beside him.
"Why don't you Curly Brows and let that Sugar touch them? See if we'll forget about you!"
"Actually, it wouldn't matter if you forgot, since you're not really of any use on the ship!"
" Moss Head, what did you say?"
(╬▔盘▔)╯!
Sanji, his face contorted with rage, approached Zoro and pointed a finger at Zoro's nose, saying:
"I'm useless? I'm an important cook on the ship, responsible for ensuring Nami and Robin's healthy diet!"
"And you? You're the truly useless one! You were like a piece of trash on the ship, unable to do anything but eat and sleep all day!"
"Or you're just taking off your clothes and showing off your empty muscles while you're working out! What are you pretending for?"
Sanji's mouth is like Gatling loaded with bullets, chattering incessantly, making him incredibly powerful in combat.
" Sex Fiend Kappa, you're asking for death!" Zoro's eyes burned Kumachi rage as he drew his sword and slashed at Sanji.
"You think you're scared, Moss Head? I've wanted to kick you to death for a long time!"
Sanji, not to be outdone, raised his foot and kicked at Zoro.
A crackling sound came from the air, but everyone was already used to it, so they ignored it.
Even Luo, who had only been on the ship for five days, remained completely unfazed by this scene.
There's no other reason than that these two bicker and fight quite frequently; even though Luo only stayed for a few days, he witnessed it several times.
Usopp continued, "Okay, even if it might not have such outrageous effects, turning people into toys is definitely real, right?"
"And it changes with just a touch? What if we accidentally get touched?"
Is there any way to save them?
"And also... what does Sugar look like? Tell me, so I can stay away from him!"
Usopp blurted out all the questions that had been bothering him.
"I don't know what to do if I get hit by something like this. There should be a way to get out of this, but I don't know it!"
"As for Sugar, I don't know what she looks like. I've never seen her!" Luo replied casually.
Usopp:...
"Perhaps... I know the answer you want to know!"
Just then, a soft female voice came from not far away...

At that time, on an island not far from Dressrosa, countless pirate crews were anchored at the edge of the island.
On the island, there was a huge crowd of people!
A cacophony of noise echoed through the crowd.
"Minds! Quiet down!"
Suddenly, a loud, booming voice rang out, and a bald, burly man exuding a fierce aura stood up and shouted.
The people around him couldn't help but look at him.
Some of them looked on with admiration, but most looked on with fear and disdain. However, for some reason, no one interrupted the bald man.
"Ladies and gentlemen! I, Hu, am honored to speak on behalf of all the captains today!"
"I know that many of you are not convinced by me, and I understand that!"
"But... I hope our conflict can wait until we've dealt with the Straw Hat Pirates!"
"Before that, our target is the Straw Hat Pirates, and Xia Chen the Sovereign! It's his 10 billion head!"
"Once we can kill Xia Chen the Sovereign, then we will truly be famous throughout the world!"
"Hahahaha..."
After saying this, the bald, burly man burst into laughter, which excited the surrounding pirates.
"That's right! Killing Xia Chen —what Emperor, what 10 billion heads, what World's Strongest! In my opinion, this is just information deliberately released by the World Government!"
"He's obviously a fraud. I don't believe anyone can break through Marine Headquarters!"
A pirate roared excitedly.
Upon hearing this, most of the surrounding pirates echoed his sentiments, also saying things like "kill Xia Chen," completely disregarding Xia Chen's authority.
Among them were several pirates who clearly weren't ordinary henchmen, who listened quietly to these words and didn't celebrate like the other pirates.
All one can say about these pirates is ignorance! They're obviously cannon fodder sent to their deaths!
With Xia Chen's widespread fame, how could he possibly be the fraud they claim? Underestimating Xia Chen will only lead to your demise without you even knowing how you died!
The bald, burly man who had spoken earlier shared the same thought; his words were merely meant to excite the pirates.
He had absolutely no intention of underestimating Xia Chen! He had watched the live broadcast of the Summit War, and that Heaven-Pillar blow was still fresh in his mind.
However, there was one thing he agreed with these pirates: he also believed that Xia Chen couldn't possibly break through the Marine Headquarters!
Because this was truly outrageous, he shared their view that it was fake news released by the World Government!
He was indeed wary of Xia Chen's strength, but that didn't mean Xia Chen was invincible.
Thinking of this, the bald, burly man glanced at the few people gathered in the middle of the crowd, then looked at the countless pirates around him. A smile flashed in his eyes.
Those people were pirates whose strength was not much weaker than his!
And now, there are nearly 100,000 pirates on this island!
Even Xia Chen the Sovereign was confident he could cut down this force!
After all, he was very confident in his own abilities!
However, he was planning something else entirely.
"These pirates... can we recruit them into Xia Chen's crew after the battle against him is over?"
"If possible, then he..."
Perhaps imagining himself dominating the world in the future, the bald man couldn't help but smile.

At that time, in the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
In a huge room, six people sat in a circle.
Five of them are naturally the Five Elders, and the other is Fleet Admiral Sengoku.
And at that moment they were discussing...
