brush...
After a brief standoff, the armed soldiers were knocked back by the aftershocks and landed not far from Luo Chen.
Wow...
Compared to him, Luo Chen was not shaken off, but the longsword formed from Blood Breath in his hand was shattered into specks of starlight that scattered all around.
"Not bad, although you've become a toy, you've still retained some of your strength. Could it be that that brat Sugar lost all memory of your identity after activating her power? The undefeated gladiator Kyros!!"
Sensing the power contained in the opponent's angry attack, which even he found difficult to withstand, he nodded in agreement.
Kyros? That name sounds familiar, but why can't I remember it?
Compared to Kyros turned into Doll Soldier, Violet felt a sense of familiarity upon hearing the name, but couldn't quite place who he was.
"How did you know who I am? And judging from your tone just now, did you already know I had followed you, which is why you attacked Viola to provoke me out?"
Kyros, seeing that Luo Chen actually knew his identity and that he had secretly followed him, couldn't help but loudly question him.
"Hehehe, don't talk to me like that, or I might just tear your fragile doll-like body apart. I know a little about the situation on this island; a toy with a life of its own is just not normal."
Aside from the Chess Soldiers and other inanimate objects on Whole Cake Island that Four Emperors Big Mom imbued with her powers to gain life, there's nothing else like that. But this island has living toys that are strikingly similar to hers—besides Devil Fruit, I can't think of anything else. So, after some investigation, I roughly learned some of the hidden secrets."
In response to the Toy Soldier's question, Luo Chen chuckled, then a cold glint flashed in his eyes as he spoke.
Even so, you still...
"No need to ask anymore. I have my own sources of information, and we're just strangers who met once. Why should I explain anything to you?"
"Let's talk about what to do now, Mr. Kyros. Your... like-minded comrade, Miss Violet, personally asked me to kill her. Are you going to stop me even then?"
Luo Chen raised his hand to stop him from saying what was about to come out, and then pointed to Violet's Kyros, beside him.
"Impossible!! Even if Viola begged you to do it, I wouldn't allow you to hurt her. It's my duty, not only for Rebecca but also for King Riku and those who have died..."
As Luo Chen had expected, Kyros shouted sternly, completely disagreeing with Violet's demands and Luo Chen's actions.
"You don't need to worry about me, this was my own decision. Thank you so much for saving me, but you really don't need to..."
Violet, who was standing nearby, shook her head after hearing Kyros's words, declined his offer, and explained.
"No, Viola, I can't let you do this. For King Riku and Rebecca's, you must live..."
Seeing that Violet was determined to die, Kyros immediately tried to persuade her.
"Hehehe... So what? This is the best option I can think of for my father and Rebecca. Mr. Kyros, please don't try to persuade me anymore..."
Violet a bitter smile, as if she were thinking of her lovely niece Rebecca and her kind father King Riku. She then composed herself and spoke calmly.
" Viola, you..."
Kyros wanted to persuade her further, but he seemed to remember the seriousness of the situation and stopped himself from speaking.
"Alright, do it. Luo Chen, give me a quick death..."
Seeing that the Toy Soldier Kyros had nothing to say, Violet tidied her makeup and then spoke to Luo Chen.
"Hehehe, what a touching melodrama..."
"But you'll be disappointed, Miss Violet. I never intended to deal with you myself. I only did that to provoke Kyros. Well, I've wasted so much time and I'm about to miss my companion's spectacular performance. I should head back now..."
Luo Chen would not agree to kill a weak woman who had never been stained with Bloody just because of such a small request. After shaking his head, he turned and left again.
"No, don't go! Please help me, please finish me off..."
Seeing Luo Chen leave, Violet didn't want him to leave like that, so she immediately got up and chased after him, stopping him with her hand.
" Viola..."
Kyros's wooden doll looked extremely pained as he saw his sister-in-law, Violet, trying to protect her family by asking him to kill her in order to safeguard Rebecca and King Riku.
"So what? Why should I do this for you and leave a psychological scar? If you want to die, you can just find a knife and slit your own throat. There's no need to specifically ask me to do it..."
Luo Chen didn't want to pay any attention to her pointless pleas, and walked past her back to the bullring.
Even so, I still...
Violet shouted loudly as she watched Luo Chen's figure slowly disappear into the distance.
Before he could finish speaking, another unfamiliar voice rang out.
"Heh heh heh, am I seeing things? Violet, as a family cadre, you're actually standing with the enemy the young master ordered to kill, and that rebellious Toy Soldier too. Are you planning to betray the family?"
The three looked up and saw a creature with horns like the Dressrosa fighting fish on its head, fins on its back, wearing a baseball cap with a pattern of the Dressrosa fighting fish in the center, and an earring in its left ear.
A young Fish-Man appeared before them, wearing a long-sleeved top with giraffe-patterned fabric, hot pants, white stockings, and ten-centimeter dark red high heels.
"Uh... it's you, Dellinger. What are you doing here?"
Violet trembled upon seeing the man's face clearly, and then questioned him.
"How did I get here? Hehehe, I just accidentally saw you guys in the bullring stands, and then you left quickly, so I followed you because I was worried about you. I never expected to overhear such an incredible thing!!"
Dellinger, one of the contestants sent by the Donquixote Family to deal with Luo Chen and his group, was originally scheduled to fight in the second match in Zone B. However, he unexpectedly saw Violet deliberately approaching Luo Chen. Afterwards, he saw them pushing and shoving each other as they left the bullring. Realizing that something big had happened, he abandoned the match and followed them. As expected, the result was exactly as he had predicted.
"I... this is a task Doffy assigned me, don't overthink it..."
Violet tried to argue with him.
"Heh heh heh, Violet, do you think I'd believe your lame excuse? How could the young master possibly give you an order to die? And about revealing the family's information to the enemy, you'd better give me a satisfactory answer, or don't blame me for reporting to the young master..."
Although Dellinger was young, he wasn't so easily fooled and wouldn't believe Violet's crude excuse.
"Since I can't hide it anymore, I'll just have to drag you down to hell with me. Let's die together... Tears of Hot Iron - Eye Whale!!"
brush...
Violet puts her index and middle fingers together in front of her eyes, causing tears to well up in her eyes, which she then pinches out with her fingers.
The tears instantly Hardening into the shape of three steel whales, which Charge toward Dellinger while still burning hot.
