Paper Paper Fruit In One Piece

Underground, secret passage. 

"Sorry, this secret passage was built for our Tontatta tribe and toy soldiers, so..." 

Usopp and Robin were both lying exhausted, being carried forward by the powerful Tontatta warriors. This passage, which directly led from the flower fields to the underground factory, carried the last hopes of the nation's resistance. 

"We were originally prepared for a desperate last stand, but with the great hero Usopp joining, we're sure to succeed this time!" 

"Leave it to me!" 

"We're almost there; we've nearly reached the 'Underground Factory'..." 

"Then, as a distraction, I'll have the ground assault team begin their attack." 

As the two of them 'zoomed' along the ground, Roman, being carried forward by a few Tontatta warriors, spoke up. With Roman's full-map communication, there would be no chaos, no confusion—everyone would be on the same page. 

"Sanji, Franky, Chopper, Violet—those four are starting their assault on the 'Toy House' entrance!" 

Even though Violet looked like a fiery dancer and her Devil Fruit ability seemed more like a support skill, anyone who had endured so much in the face of their family's destruction would fight to become stronger. She had at least fought with Doflamingo and could probably hold off one of his officers for a short time. 

Thankfully, thankfully.

Usopp silently sighed in relief. The four enemy officers ahead were all from the "Martial Arts" faction, while his side only had two members from the "Special Team." It should be easier compared to the other side... 

"Alright, the exit is just ahead!"

A group of Tontatta warriors pushed open the vent's grate and made a turn, while the "human transport machine" behind them, due to inertia,—

Boom! Poor Usopp was knocked headfirst into the wall on the opposite side. If it had been an ordinary person, they'd probably have died on the spot, ready to be carried away by professionals.

"Usopp, are you alright?"

"I'm fine," Usopp groaned after crashing at seventy miles per hour into the wall, causing the rock wall to crack! He only gritted his teeth and straightened his hat. After rolling and tumbling all the way to the New World, the Straw Hat crew was no longer what you'd call "ordinary humans."

"This way," Robin, who had already scouted the area with her "flowering" ability, waved at Usopp. The reason Usopp's head-first crash didn't draw attention was because:

"Hurry up!! If we don't get these weapons back, our country will lose the war!"

Bandaged soldiers pushed broken money, shattered jewelry, and even bloodstained gold teeth to the Donquixote family's workers, their eyes red as they grabbed new weapons and rushed back to the battlefield.

"That's the price. If you keep haggling, the deal is off!"

"You bastard! If it weren't for 'Joker,' I would have—"

The pirate captain spoke angrily, but helplessly pulled out money, buying boxes of weapons and illegal drugs to sell to war-torn nations. Pirates and sea merchants were just a matter of a single thought.

As for how many innocent civilians these weapons would kill, or how many soldiers would die from the powerful drugs?

Why should I care? We don't make anything, we're just the 'movers' of war.

Bargaining, knives, guns, tattooed arms, fierce looks—this huge underground port was filled with raw violence and bloodshed! If it weren't for the "Ten Night Demons"' deterrence, it would have probably turned into a scene where bullets were the payment.

"This... this is..."

Usopp was left speechless, staring at everything in front of him. Who would have thought that beneath Dressrosa's peaceful and prosperous surface, the underground would be like this?

"What a huge arms trade," Robin couldn't help but comment as well. The harbor was filled with large ships, constantly carrying 'cargo' in and out. Men with bloodshot eyes and killing intent jumped off the ships, heading toward the deal.

The cycle of bargaining and intimidation continued.

"Our target is the officer tower in the center of this underground harbor, which looks like a sea anemone. The target, 'Sugar,' is hiding inside, and high-ranking officer Trebol is protecting her."

"As long as we—"

"Hey! Who are you?"

Two henchmen of Doflamingo walked over, seeing the flustered Usopp and calm Robin. Their first thought wasn't that enemies had infiltrated, but that they were just pirates trying to gather information!

"Didn't we say, no wandering around except for negotiations?"

"Are you from that pirate crew? Do you believe we can reduce your trade quotas—"

Just as Robin was about to use her powers to silence them, the Tontatta warriors, who had been hiding behind corners and boxes, zoomed out and quickly stripped the two henchmen of their clothes. Then:

"Tontatta Battle Dance!"

"Sharp Tail Hammer!"

Boom! x2 In an instant, the two henchmen were half-buried in the ground, leaving Usopp shocked.

Who would've thought you guys were so cute, yet so vicious...

"Great, with these two outfits, we can blend in easily."

In the hidden corners of the entire port, eyes and ears seemed to appear out of nowhere, and a massive amount of information flooded into Robin's mind, causing a plan to form quickly.

Don't forget, Robin had spent more than a decade crawling through the underground world. Stealth and assassination were her specialties. Since joining the Straw Hat crew, she hadn't had much chance to show them, but today was a perfect opportunity. 

—————— On the streets above ground.

"Is this the 'Toy House'?" 

Sanji took a puff of his cigarette and looked around. "Really makes you envious... *cough, cough*, but it's so annoying! How can they deceive so many young women..." 

There was a man, plump and wearing a pink baby hat, sucking on a pacifier, dressed in a yellow diaper with star patterns, lying on a sun lounger. 

Surrounded by a group of beautiful girls in swimsuits, who were fawning over him, he waved them off impatiently. 

"Stop bothering me, you yellow-haired girls!" 

"Go find a younger man to praise your youth." 

"No, Senor Pink, I beg you~~" 

"I'm not interested in little girls!" 

However, the more this man acted like this, the more the swimsuit girls became fascinated by him. 

"What is this pervert up to?" 

------------------ 

Facing Franky's words, Sanji, Chopper, Violet, and even the White Dove, who was perched on Franky's shoulder, all looked over with surprise. 

A guy who runs around in swim trunks has no right to call others a pervert! But: SaNeo Pic is a man of great loyalty, sympathy for the weak, and doesn't use deceit. 

Too bad... 

Men fear entering the wrong profession, and women fear marrying the wrong man. 

Senor Pink became a pirate, and worse yet, he joined the ranks of Donquixote Doflamingo, a ruthless villain. 

His wife hated pirates, so he had always lied to her, saying he worked as a bank clerk. Then, during a sea battle, their son fell seriously ill at home, and when Lucian repeatedly visited the bank asking for him, she was told, "No such person." 

By the time Senor Pink returned home, his son had passed away, and his wife was on the verge of a breakdown. When Lucian questioned him about his job and the source of their money, Senor Pink had no answer. His wife suspecting the truth, ran out of the house. 

Then, the second tragedy struck. 

His wife was hit in the head by rocks from a landslide and became a mute, unresponsive vegetative state. In a desperate attempt to make her smile, Senor Pink tried every method, until... 

His wife smiled when she saw a baby outfit. 

So, the world lost a cold gentleman and gained a pervert in a baby outfit. 

"I'll take care of that pervert!" X2. You could say that both Franky and Senor Pink were alike, tortured by guilt from the past, turning once passionate youths and cold gentlemen into "perverts." 

"Then, I'll handle the little guy." 

Sanji flicked the ash off his cigarette and looked at his target. 

According to Roman's intel, the young man wearing a baseball cap with the "fighting fish" symbol from Dressrosa, a long-sleeve shirt patterned with giraffe Madara stripes, hot pants, white stockings, and 10cm red high heels was the strongest among the high-ranking officers. 

"Wow, big brother, you sure are confident," 

Dellinger, showing a row of sharp teeth, grinned and spoke in a frightening tone. 

"I'll break your legs, pull out your intestines, and wrap them around your neck, hanging you from your pirate ship!" 

"I'll deal with this old man," 

Chopper, in his half-beast form, glanced at the elderly man shaking in his tight training suit, looking like he might drop dead any second. 

It wasn't that Chopper wanted to follow Usopp's example of "punching the southern old folks' home, kicking the northern kindergarten," but this old man, Lao G, had a technique that could instantly restore his youth, a "battle-saving punch." Facing such an explosive opponent, Chopper, with the strongest physical resilience, had to step up. 

"Violet, you really betrayed us." 

The last officer was a muscular man with long curly hair, wearing a black hat, a tight-fitting, revealing outfit with a spiral pattern that exposed his chest, a Donquixote family tattoo on his right arm, and a hairy chest. 

"Betrayed?" 

In response to Mahabayes' words, Violet merely lifted the hem of her skirt, took a few graceful steps forward, and seemed to dance. However, it was actually the start of a battle stance. 

"I was never 'loyal' to you, so how could I betray you?" 

"No need to waste words with them. Take them down first!" 

Despite his elderly appearance, Lao G's temper flared as soon as he entered battle. 

"Then, leave it to the young master, G!" 

Shouting his catchphrase, the old man charged forward like the wind! And with a single move, the 4v4 officer battle erupted into flames.
