Viola is a dancer by profession, so she has pretty good stamina. She didn't get too tired running for several minutes and finished in one go.
"Fellow heroes, I am Viola, the former princess of this country. Thank you for eliminating the great villain Doflamingo."
After saying that, Viola bowed deeply, wanting to define the situation first, no matter what.
Praising her as a hero who liberated the country, coupled with her status as a former princess, should have forced her to tone it down.
"Haha, I didn't expect her to be a princess."
"You're welcome, you're welcome. Beautiful lady, do you have time tonight? How about I treat you to dinner?"
Why should I go with you?
"Beautiful lady, I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Whatever you'd like to eat, we'll go."
Drew, whose eyes were also shining, quickly said, "Actually, I can do that too. You choose the restaurant, and I'll pay the bill."
Kazu was furious to see these bastards acting like they'd never seen a woman before.
"Shut up, all of you."
"Today, stay on the ship to celebrate Luo Da's revenge; no one is allowed to leave."
"Otherwise, you won't need to come asking me for activity funds tomorrow."
"And you, Ms. Viola, we defeated Doflamingo simply to avenge my crew. It wasn't as noble as you imagine. Don't flatter us."
Clearly, Kazu's words had their lifeline severed; they all lowered their heads and fell silent.
They only invited Viola because it was something new and exciting; after all, she was a princess, and they had never experienced what it was like to be one.
However, compared to Captain Kazu's operating budget, those all have to take a backseat.
We shouldn't sacrifice the whole forest for one big tree.
As long as they have the budget for the event, they can change several stores in Dressrosa every day.
As for not allocating funds through Kazu allocation, and distributing the wealth acquired each time proportionally?
This is indeed what most pirate crews do, but they would never be foolish enough to bring it up.
Captain Kazu gave them much more operating funds than they would normally receive.
And you don't have to worry about losing it or constantly guarding against thieves.
Viola hadn't expected the atmosphere in the other team to be like this, and she didn't react for a moment. It wasn't until she heard Kazu speak that she came to her senses.
"My benefactors, I have seen your news reports. Regardless of your reasons for attacking Doflamingo, the outcome remains the same for us."
"My main purpose in coming here is to remind my benefactors that several members of the Donquixote Family are still lurking in Dressrosa."
"You've defeated Doflamingo, but these Donquixote subordinates certainly won't let this go."
"Haha, don't worry, even Doflamingo is dead, only a bunch of small fry are left, nothing to fear."
Before Viola could finish speaking, Carlmand interrupted her.
"That's right, if they dare to show themselves, it'll be a matter of a single bolt of lightning."
"My great axe is itching for a chop! Bring one on, I'll chop it down!"
"Hmph~" (A disdainful laugh from Oulait )
Viola not only disagreed with them, but also shook her head with concern, saying, "I know that your benefactors are powerful, and I've already heard about the Blond Hair Pirates from the news."
"However, there is one member among the Donquixote Family's executives who cannot be ignored."
"She looks like a little girl, which is extremely deceptive."
"Anyone she touches will instantly turn into a toy."
It's not just about becoming a toy; he will also be forgotten by everyone in the world who knows him, and he will be completely unable to get help from others.
However, Viola did not receive this information, not because she deliberately did not want to tell.
"It actually turned into a toy?"
"What a terrifying Devil Fruit ability."
Makino and the others gasped, especially Carlmand and his group.
If they were turned into toys, I feel like they wouldn't even have the courage to approach the girls.
We can't just let them pay and then sit there doing nothing; that would be torture.
Kazu certainly hadn't forgotten that executive named Sugar; he had left a deep impression on him when he watched the anime.
"It's not that strange. In the end, it's just the power of Devil Fruit. When Armament Haki is strong enough, it's possible to avoid being turned into a toy by her."
"Of course, for ordinary people, that's an unsolvable problem."
As I said before, every Devil Fruit has its limitations.
If it were possible to ignore all conditions and turn anything into a toy simply by touching it, then the World Government would be the most anxious.
Doflamingo won't let Sugar continue being so lazy; he'll definitely personally teach Sugar martial arts and Haki.
At that point, Doflamingo, with Sugar by his side, could easily crush Imu and the Five Elders. Why would he need to go through all that trouble to sneak around Dressrosa and develop his power?
