Chapter 170
Binz also learned the whole truth from someone who had just turned back from a doll.
"The power of Devil Fruit is truly terrifying!"
"Ain said with a sigh."
Binz couldn't help but glance at her sideways.
How dare you say that? Your abilities are terrifyingly unbelievable!
"It seems Naito has already made some progress."
"We can't delay any longer, let's move on!" Ain said.
So the marines continued forward, traversing the chaotic streets of Dressrosa, and soon arrived at a building that looked quite ordinary.
Government agents were there to meet them. They took out keys they had prepared beforehand and opened the door leading to the underground.
"Let's go!"
Ain drew two short swords and charged in first.
Binz and his marines followed closely behind.
Descending the wide spiral staircase, the group soon arrived at a spacious underground space.
This is a huge underground arms factory, fully equipped with all kinds of machinery.
But by this time, the factory was in chaos, with many people taking up arms and rising up in resistance.
"What on earth happened?!"
A young woman stood on a high place, her hands transformed into Gatling guns, firing bullets incessantly. "The toys have all turned into people!"
Damn it!
The man, covered in a sticky mess, resembling a slug come to life, was one of the highest-ranking members of the Donquixote Family. With a wave of Trebol hands, he flung out a large glob of slime, sticking a group of resisting people to the ground.
He cried out in terror, "Sugar's in trouble! What happened at the palace—"
Just as he was shouting, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the navy men rushing down the stairs out of the corner of his eye.
"Everyone stop!"
Ain was the first to rush down, raising her voice, "In the name of the Marine Headquarters, I hereby announce that all members of the Donquixote Family are under arrest!"
"Navy?"
Trebol's pupils contracted instantly as he looked at the navy.
He had seen this woman before!
In Mary Geoise, this woman was following behind Naito!
She appeared here, over at the palace—
Trebol's body shuddered involuntarily.
Could it be Naito that Doffy and his companions are facing at the palace?
Oh no!
Oh no!
If Sugar has run into trouble, it means the situation at the royal palace must be absolutely terrible!
"Baby-5! Take down these navy!"
Trebol screamed.
We can't delay any longer; we must get to the palace immediately!
"Understood, Lord Trebol!"
The girl named Baby-5, Devil Fruit User, immediately turned her gun around and aimed the Gatling gun at Ain.
"Geppo!"
Without any hesitation, Ain suddenly leaped into the air, deflected mid-air, and rushed straight towards the weapon girl.
Wow! That's fast!
Baby-5 frantically tried to turn the gun around again, but before she could, Ain had already unleashed a ball of red flame that struck her squarely in the chest.
Wow!
Baby-5 gasped in surprise, her body visibly shrinking.
The girl, who was only sixteen years old this year, suddenly turned into a four or five-year-old baby.
The Gatling guns that his arms transformed into became toy guns, and the bullets turned into plastic bullets, completely harmless.
"Useless!"
Seeing Baby-5 being taken down in an instant, Trebol gritted his teeth and cursed.
These navies are not to be underestimated.
No, we can't get bogged down with these navy guys here!
"Sticky Bullets!"
Trebol flicked his hands, and his sticky palms sprayed out droplets of viscous liquid that covered the marines like bullets.
He is Paramecia- Devil Fruit User, and his entire body can secrete sticky fluid.
With his strength, coupled with his Haki, even his slime can unleash power surpassing that of bullets!
But.
"Overgrowth Overgrowth!"
Binz started dancing a bizarre dance.
Thick, long vines suddenly sprouted from the ground, covered in Armament Haki Haki, forming a wall in front of the marines.
The sticky bullets struck the vines, instantly shattering them into pieces.
Wow!
Binz, who was behind the vines, was startled.
This unassuming guy is actually so strong!
If it weren't for the Armament Haki applied to the vines, I would have been riddled with holes by that attack!
Having failed to score with his first attack, Trebol gritted his teeth and lost all will to fight.
Dealing with these naval forces won't be easy.
In that case, let's bypass them.
"Sticky Chain!"
He flicked his right hand toward the ceiling, and the slime transformed into chains that shot out and stuck directly to the ceiling.
Then the mucus contracts, pulling Trebol's body upwards.
Pig Hero said so.
Trebol was extremely anxious.
We must go to the palace immediately.
"Concassé!"
Wow!
Trebol suddenly let out a scream.
An invisible leg spun several times in the air before crashing down like a battle axe, striking Trebol in the face.
Trebol's face was deformed by the blow, and his body crashed to the ground below.
The earth trembled, and the ground shattered instantly.
"Hahaha! Well done, Sanji!"
Binz excitedly waved his fist.
This idiot is too emotional to use his Observation Haki!
He had no idea Sanji was there!
"Well then, it's over!"
Binz started dancing again, "Overgrowth, Overgrowth!"
Numerous vines snaked upwards, tightly binding Trebol's obese body.
"Next, all we need to do is put Seastone on him—wait!!"
Binz's smugness vanished in an instant.
Trebol sprang out of the vines like a cicada shedding its shell.
Upon closer inspection, Binz realized that this guy wasn't fat at all; on the contrary, he was skin and bones!
This cunning creature covers its body with a thick layer of slime to deceive others!
The vines only bound his body with slime; they didn't actually restrict his physical form!
That's despicable!
"You all deserve to die!"
In his haste to leave and find Doflamingo, Trebol roared, "Sticky Barrage!"
A massive amount of slime bullets shot out from his body, spreading like a shower of flowers.
Indiscriminate firing.
In the factory, people who had just transformed back into their doll forms and begun to rebel, or the henchmen of the Donquixote Family, all fell in large numbers in this attack.
Binz quickly created another wall of vines.
Ain pushed with both hands, and the red flames manifested by the Return-Return Fruit instantly made the approaching slime disappear without a trace.
As for Sanji—
The invisible Sanji rolled his cloak around himself, and all the slime bullets that hit the cloak instantly lost their momentum.
Young Sanji flew in like a cannonball.
"What?"
Trebol looked up in surprise.
Although his Observation Haki was completely ineffective in his current state, he was still a seasoned pirate who had seen many battles, and he still realized that an unseen entity was charging towards him, enduring his attacks head-on.
"Die! Mucus Heavy Punch!"
Trebol's right fist, coated in slime and growing enormous, transformed into a massive hammer after being imbued with Armament Haki, and he slammed it down fiercely towards Sanji.
Sanji's pupils contracted.
