Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

Boom!

As if in response to Vivi, a dazzling purple lightning bolt streaked across the sky.

This time, Vivi felt no fear of lightning whatsoever. A radiant smile, typical of young girls, bloomed on her face as she murmured,

"I hope to see you again, General Zilin..."

Crocodile's hearing was incredibly sharp; although Vivi's voice was very soft, he heard it clearly.

His lips twitched involuntarily as he silently cursed to himself.

"You'd better not see him, or at least don't let him show his face in front of me again!"

......

Over Alabasta,

With his hands in his pockets, Chiga looked down at the royal city with a smile in his Rinnegan.

Robin's voice came from inside the doorway.

"Master, you really have a lot of charm with young girls."

Chiga could imagine the cunning smile on Robin's face without even looking.

He shook his head and chuckled, then said...

"Although Vivi is still young, she is no less capable than any princess. She even wanted to infiltrate your Baroque Works as an undercover agent."

"What? This little girl is incredibly brave! It's really... Luckily, she met her master!"

"how about you?"

"..."

Chiga's question startled Robin inside the doorway. She looked at Chiga outside the doorway, and after a long while, she whispered,

"I'm so glad I met you, and I hope you won't abandon me again, this...demon child!"

Chiga didn't respond immediately. He simply stretched out one hand towards a certain spot below and said calmly,

"All things are attracted by heaven!"

Snapped!

A person wearing a blue mask and a white robe flew down from below and was then tightly gripped by the neck by Chiga.

Robin's expression changed upon recognizing the man's attire, and he exclaimed in surprise.

"These are people from the World Government!"

That's right, this person is a member of p0, and he has been lurking in Alabasta for some time.

Crocodile's haste led to a significant commotion, attracting the attention of the World Government, which dispatched P-0 to investigate him.

He already knew that Crocodile was responsible for the drought and war in Alabasta, but he didn't care about that; he only wanted to find out Crocodile's purpose.

But before he could figure it out, he discovered that Admiral Shirin and Aokiji had arrived at the same place at the same time. This was something that was several times more important than investigating Crocodile.

So he thought he was spying on him from afar without anyone noticing, and then he saw Robin.

P0 was overjoyed and immediately wanted to take out his Den Den Mushi to report to the World Government.

But for some reason, his Den Den Mushi seemed to be broken, looking listless and as if it were paralyzed.

There was nothing he could do but rush back to report after Chika and Aokiji finished their battle. But before he could even set off, Chika grabbed him with the Universal Pull.

His face, hidden behind the mask, was filled with terror. He shouted,

"Zilin, what are you doing?! Are you trying to rebel?!"

Chiga ignored him and just spoke to herself,

"I'll get rid of this bedbug for you."

Chiga's words instilled a strong sense of crisis in the p0, and he frantically shook his body, trying to break free from Chiga's grasp.

But his efforts were futile. His struggles only tightened Chihiro's grip on his neck, making it harder for him to breathe, until his arms fell limply to his sides, still muttering something under his breath.

"You can't kill me! I'm with the World Government! This is treason!"

Crack!

"Ahhhh!!!"

The piercing sound of electricity and the shrill screams echoed over Alabasta before abruptly ceasing.

Chiga casually waved away a small clump of ashes in front of him, finally uttering his first words to P0.

"Don't worry, they'll be with you soon."

Robin, inside the doorway, stared blankly at Chiga. She knew that Chiga had already responded to her words with her actions.

Words are often pale and powerless; actions speak louder than words!

Chapter 231 Dressrosa

Chiga did not return directly to the Marine Headquarters; he changed his mind midway.

He thought of Dressrosa, a country similar to Alabasta, where he had heard that strange dolls had recently appeared inexplicably, and that they could move and talk.

Chiga naturally understood the situation with those dolls; they must have been made by Sugar, one of Doflamingo's subordinates.

Sugar is a Paramecia-type Hobby-Hobby Fruit user. This fruit belongs to the Paramecia category and is classified as a Rule-type. Its ability is to turn any creature she touches into a toy and make others forget the memories of the person who was turned into a toy.

It also has a drawback that can hardly be called a flaw: after eating it, the user will stop developing and be frozen at the time when they ate the fruit.

Sugar is the fruit she ate when she was a child, so even though she is already twenty-two years old, she still looks like a child.

Putting aside the aforementioned drawbacks, this fruit is indeed a decent Devil Fruit. Chiga plans to retrieve it; even if he doesn't eat it himself, he can leave it for those around him.

As for Sugar, Chiga wouldn't take her life. Although she was already twenty-two years old, she was still a child, both mentally and physically, and Chiga didn't want to harm a child.

As for Momonosuke? He's not a human child, so is it wrong to harm him?

Having made up her mind, Chiga spoke to Robin within the doorway.

"Robin, I'm going to Dressrosa now. Are you interested?"

"Dresrossa? I heard that's Doflamingo's territory now. Does he have some kind of weakness that his master has caught him in?"

"Haha, I guess so. That place is known as the land of 'love and passion,' so we can take a look around."

"Well, I listen to you."

Robin certainly wouldn't object to Chiga's suggestion; she had finally found a safe haven where she could feel at ease, so of course she would cherish it.

The words "love and passion" made Robin blush slightly. Although there was no one in the doorway, Robin still peeked at Chika outside the doorway like a thief, and then quickly lowered her head.

Chiga was unaware of Robin's actions. After seeing that Robin had agreed, he immediately transformed into a bolt of lightning and flew off in one direction.

......

Dressrosa, the King's Heights

Doflamingo, dressed in a pink sable coat, sat on the throne that rightfully belonged to King Riku, one hand on his forehead, staring expressionlessly at a woman below.

The woman had long, dark brown hair and wore a purple pleated skirt. She was looking down at Doflamingo above her.

She was originally the princess of Dressrosa, but her country was usurped by Doflamingo, and her father, King Riku, went from being a beloved king to a pariah, and is now imprisoned in a warehouse.

She was noticed by Doflamingo because of her excellent intelligence-gathering abilities due to the Detonation Fruit, and became one of his assassins.

She hated Doflamingo to the core, but in order to protect her father's life, she had no choice but to become the subordinate of her enemy.

Her face, hidden by her hair, was as cold as ice, but her tone remained completely unwavering.

"Dover, the mission objective has been achieved. Do you have any further instructions?"

Doflamingo remained silent, but his brows furrowed.

Normally, he would have enjoyed watching Violet's expression of wanting to kill him but failing, but for some reason, he had a bad feeling about today.

Therefore, he lost interest in Yin Yang Violet and simply waved his hand casually, signaling Violet to step back.

Violet was also puzzled by Doflamingo's unusual behavior today.

In her memory, Doflamingo always had that kind of expression on his face whenever he saw her, making people want to punch him, and he would also say a few sarcastic things about her.

Today he seemed unusually docile, as if something had happened.

But this is good, Violet finally has some peace and quiet, and she turns to leave.

Doflamingo suddenly called out to her, saying,

"Have you thought that through? If you agree, I'll consider releasing your father, fufufu..."

Violet paused, turned her back to Doflamingo, said "I'll consider it," and then quickened her pace to leave the oppressive palace.

After fleeing the palace as if in a hurry, Violet appeared at the palace gate with two lines of tears on her face.

Doflamingo's offer was to make her his woman on the condition that he release her father.

This condition is undeniably tempting, but the price to pay is extremely high.

Violet could accept becoming Doflamingo's subordinate, but she was extremely resistant to becoming his woman.

Dressrosa is known as the land of "love and passion," where people value love highly. The more beautiful a woman is, the more serious she is about love, and once she commits to someone, she will stay with him for life.

Therefore, this country often experiences extreme events due to betrayal.

Violet, as the princess of Dressrosa, is top-notch in both looks and figure. How could she accept being made the woman of her enemy?

Moreover, despite her pride and arrogance, she harbored feelings for someone else. Although she had never met that person, she often paid attention to him, especially during this dark time, when that figure had become a source of comfort for her.

But Violet was torn by the thought of her father, who was imprisoned in the warehouse and suffered endless humiliation.

This is an unsolvable problem, and it seems that she has no choice but to give in.

With a heavy sigh, Violet shook her head to shake off these annoying things and wanted to go for a stroll in the streets to temporarily relax her depressed mood.

Lovers' Avenue

This place is similar to the Lovers' Street on Earth, and many couples like to stroll here.

On the wide street, among a group of men and women, one couple stood out.
