One Piece Talk King: Starting with Commentary on Devil Fruits

Just as the man was about to thank Senior Ada, he saw this strong woman throw herself into Lucci's arms, her tears of grievance flowing like a burst dam, soaking the CP0 commander's clothes. Kaku had never seen Senior Ada cry like this before. What had she gone through to make the woman so mentally broken?

"Lucci, I don't want to go back. Can you live with me in seclusion on the high seas?"

Ada didn't explain any background, but what she said was a betrayal of the World Government. She actually wanted to trick the CP0 leader into retiring from the world. If the Celestial Dragons found out, it would be a capital offense. These dogs, who have been trained since childhood, want to break free of the leash around their necks. This is a dangerous idea.

Lucci's usually cold face showed a rare gentle expression. The man gently patted Ada's back. He didn't choose to ask any more questions because sooner or later the woman would tell him the truth. "Our mission failed. We will be punished when we return to the World Government. It's better to just leave like this. Kaku, what do you think?"

The pressure was mounting on his subordinate, and the giraffe-man nervously swallowed. Kaku felt that if he didn't answer properly, he would definitely not get through today. "I don't have any objections, but the Seastone we have is a big problem."

Without the corresponding key, the seastone handcuffs cannot be unlocked. These two male CP0 agents can't wear them forever. Unable to unleash their full power, they will ultimately be the ones being bullied on the high seas. There are far too many pirates who have grudges against government agents.

However, the prison guards were all buried under the rocks, and even if they had the keys, it would be difficult to find them. Even if they were lucky enough to dig up the guards' bodies, the keys would easily be crushed. Seastone is truly an unsolvable problem in the eyes of Devil Fruit users.

Without her brother's Wax-Wax Fruit, the Seastone handcuffs would be really hard to open. After a moment of grief, Ada regained her composure. On her way here, she saw a long-nosed man lying on the ground. Perhaps this old rival could offer some help.

Soon, three CP0 agents appeared in front of Usopp. He had been lying on the ground with his eyes closed, resting, but was awakened by the gentle World Government agent. When he saw Lucci's all-too-familiar face, the sniper was almost scared out of his wits.

"Lucci!!!" Upon seeing the leopard-man Usopp, his first thought was to surrender. As long as he was spared his life, everything would be fine.

However, Usopp's reinforcements finally arrived. Zoro, the world's number one directionally challenged pirate, arrived late with Princess Mansherry, only to run into three CP0 members who were holding his companions hostage.

"Hey, bullying an injured person isn't something a strong person does. You'd better not do it," Zoro said, placing his hand on the hilt of his sword. The murderous aura emanating from one of his eyes sent chills down the spines of his enemies.

The two sides were on the verge of fighting when Ada stepped forward at the crucial moment, revealing her hidden identity. "We mean no harm. You've been in contact with Allen, so you should be considered his friends. I'm his sister in Flevans. I've already given up my identity as a government agent. Now I just want this long-nosed gentleman to help me unlock my companion's seastone handcuffs."

In the shortest possible words, Ada recounted the Straw Hat crew's adventures with her on Drum Island. She, too, was a survivor of the white town of Flevance, and had no reason to continue serving the Celestial Dragons. Her conflicted sense of identity left her feeling lost and adrift.

"I see. Well, I can help you out for Eren's sake." Zoro lowered his hand from the hilt of his sword. He didn't completely believe the woman's words. He just didn't sense any hostility from the three CP0 members. Since they had lost their fighting spirit, the man had no interest in continuing the fight.

Five years later, Usopp was actually able to do this job. The man took a seed out of his pocket and put it into the keyhole of the sea stone handcuffs. The seed automatically expanded inside, filling the internal space, and finally grew into the shape of a key. The sniper personally unlocked the shackles for CP0. "It's done!"

After Kaku and Lucci regained their freedom, they kept their promise and did not attack the Straw Hat crew. As for the reward for unlocking the lock, it was two pairs of Seastone handcuffs. Faced with such high-purity Seastone, Usopp accepted it without hesitation, intending to keep it to deal with other Devil Fruit users in the future.

Originally enemies, the two sides fell silent. Suddenly, a dazzling explosion in the distance struck the King's Heights. Government agents and pirates scattered and fled at the same time. The nuclear fusion reaction generated by BABY5 reached this place, engulfing this last sanctuary in a terrifying white light.

In the end, it was Dressrosa, that place of suffering, that caused her injury. Getting involved with Doflamingo was truly the worst luck imaginable. Violet and the children were also engulfed by the white light. No one could escape this great battle.

CP0 is the strongest government agency, known as the Celestial Dragons' strongest shield, while the Knights of God are known as the Celestial Dragons' strongest spear. It's unknown which side will win when the spear and shield attack each other.

Ada, an elite member of CP0, is actually going to leave the government five years later and even seduce the highest-ranking officer of CP0. This is simply the biggest scandal of the Celestial Dragons. Sure enough, the way to deal with men is to use women to launch a gentle offensive. The old saying "a hero's grave is found in a gentle land" is true.

Upon witnessing this scene, Spandam was so enraged that his face contorted with rage. The precious daughter he had painstakingly raised from childhood had been snatched up by a murderous orphan, and the adoptive father even harbored some strange feelings for his adopted daughter. He could not accept that Ada had fallen into the arms of another man.

Currently, Lucci in the main timeline is still under Spandam's command and hasn't yet climbed above his old boss in five years. Even if Leopard Man is a once-in-a-century genius of CP9, this second-generation official has plenty of ways to deal with him. If he wants to betray the World Government and go into seclusion in the future, then it's better to fabricate charges against Lucci now.

"Lucci has disliked you for a long time. Of all people to choose from, you dare to be with Ada. I swear I will not rest until I kill you." Spandam's emotions have been distorted by external forces. He wants to personally orchestrate the funeral of the CP9 genius and make Lucci disappear completely from Ada's sight.

Several members of CP9 were still in Water Seven searching for Franky and the blueprints for Pluton for their commander, unaware that Spandam had already condemned everyone except Ada to death in his heart.

Chapter 201 Reunion

Seeing her own frail reflection in the sky, Sister Wang felt an embarrassing chill run down her spine. She hadn't expected her boss to arrange such a tragic role for her in this life, leaving the female agent speechless.

In her previous life, Ada Wong was moved by Lee San-kwang's kindness and sincerity, but she did not redeem herself because of the male protagonist. She remained active in her underworld career, only changing several bosses, making her a veritable boss killer.

Many Chinese TV dramas featuring strong female leads rely heavily on male characters and follow the Mary Sue trope. Ada Wong, on the other hand, is a true, independent feminist who can sometimes save Lee San-kwang by providing him with weapons and RPGs.

Having come to this world, she could only cooperate and act. After all, she had been an adult for a long time. Since she could not resist, she could only adapt to it. Ada looked at the young Lucci beside her. This kid was a killing machine that had been trained since childhood. It was really not easy to make such a stubborn stone understand.

"Franky deliberately hid. We destroyed his gangster family. I didn't expect this cyborg to be so ruthless. He's really different from what was described in the files." Ada knew Franky's background before she came. As one of the merman Tom's apprentices, he should be very loyal. Using his body to block a train is not something an ordinary person can do.

But now that they've killed his underlings and burned down his house, has this man even had his brain modified? Is he still hiding in the shadows of Water Seven, and the CP9 government agents really can't find him right away, mainly because they don't have enough manpower.

If it weren't for Commander Spandam keeping an eye on the Pluton blueprints for so many years, the World Government would rarely care about shipbuilding. Even if someone were to obtain the Pluton blueprints, they simply couldn't replicate them with the technology available eight hundred years later. Even Vegapunk wouldn't have that capability.

Kalifa, one of only two female members of CP9, simply looked at Lucci and Ada with a gossipy expression. The things these two did five years later, even if the future hadn't happened yet, would probably implicate them now. The identity of a government agent isn't something you can just retire from so easily.

CP0 and CP9 are even more serious; government agents never leave. Most either die or defect, so there's really no way out but to go into hiding.

Kaku, an optimist, was initially happy about his promotion, but when he saw that he was about to be caught up in the defection vortex, the man could no longer be happy.

Why didn't the version of himself in the sky stand up for himself? Now, this long-nosed guy wants to defend himself but no one believes him. He's already become Lucci's sworn brother. The World Government's iron fist is likely to fall. Kaku already has a bad feeling about this.

Should they flee? Or surrender? The atmosphere within CP9 froze. The future, five years from now, was deeply damaging to these people. Even if they didn't want to admit it was true, they couldn't deny that others believed it; they needed someone to believe them to defend themselves.

Baby 5 inflicted indelible damage on Dressrosa. In this nuclear fusion, only a small empty space remained of King's Heights. This was the result of Violet's valiant efforts; before the incident, she used her Devil Fruit powers to envelop the house, which allowed the people inside to survive.

“Father, you are Father, right…” Violet recognized the gladiator who entered the house. Although the man’s face was covered by a silver metal mask, the daughter still recognized her father by his build.

The newcomer took off his helmet, revealing an old man with a triangular head. "Violet, it's been years since we last met. Is that your child behind you?"

Character Notes: King Riku III, former King of Dressrosa

After his failed rebellion three years ago, King Riku has been imprisoned in the royal palace by Doflamingo. He was only able to escape today because Zoro and Diamante's swordsman duel severely damaged the terrain of the King's Highlands. However, the fact that this old man is still alive is also related to the fact that he has a good daughter.

“Elsa, Anna, don’t be afraid. This is my father. He is my family. You should call him Grandpa.” Violet, facing her father who had regained his freedom, was unguarded and introduced her two children to him.

Elsa, the older sister, is more mature than Anna, who is innocent and romantic. Anna trusted King Riku after only meeting him once, took her sister's hand and ran to the old man's side, sweetly calling him "Grandpa." She is truly a lovely little girl loved by everyone.

Because her younger sister took the lead, Princess Elsa could no longer maintain her haughty demeanor. She simply replied in a low voice, "Hello, Grandpa," and then turned around and pulled her sister behind their mother. The girl was filled with wariness towards this man who had suddenly appeared.

Seeing the two shy sisters, King Riku's face was filled with heartache, but he quickly changed his expression and showed a kind smile. "The two girls are very beautiful. Violet and the others have inherited your good looks. Time flies. I didn't expect that you would become a mother in the blink of an eye."

After fifteen years of hardship, Violet went from a high-ranking princess to a caged canary. Sometimes women are not in control of their own lives, especially beautiful women who are often the target of robbery in the world of One Piece. If it weren't for Doflamingo taking a liking to her Devil Fruit power, the fate of this princess of a fallen kingdom would have been even more tragic.

The daughter felt sorry for her father who had just been released from prison. She invited King Riku into the inner bedroom to rest for a while. The woman wanted to prepare some wine and food for her father. He must have suffered inhuman torture during his three years of imprisonment. It was a miracle that he had survived until now.

Anna is a rare good child who will take the initiative to comfort a wounded heart. She sits on Grandpa Riku's lap and says, "Grandpa, don't leave now that you've come. Mother is very happy to see you. She hasn't smiled like this in a long time. Sometimes I see Mother secretly crying by herself."

"It's all coming to an end. I'm not leaving this time. I'm tired and old." King Riku stroked Anna's little face. He thought of his eldest daughter who died young. It was all because of his incompetence as king. He couldn't protect his people or his princess.

Since Sugar's Toy-Toy Fruit powers were deactivated, her memories of her son-in-law Kyros have returned. No wonder the one-legged toy soldier chose to fight to the very end. King Riku felt extremely guilty, as he had survived until now only because of Kyros's protection once again. He had been saved twice in his life, and he could never repay this debt of gratitude.

Upon seeing his daughter Violet bring him wine and food, King Riku did not immediately choose to eat. Instead, he asked directly, "Do you know where Rebecca is? I haven't seen her in prison. Is Cyrus's daughter alright?"

Upon hearing the name Rebecca, Violet's gentle smile vanished instantly. The woman placed the plate she was carrying on the table; her sister's daughter was something she hadn't wanted to recall all these years.

Chapter 202 Heartless

King Riku had only just mentioned Rebecca's name when his second daughter, Violet, reacted so strongly. The old man immediately had a bad feeling. Had he not even been able to protect his eldest daughter's bloodline?

Grabbing the bottle from the table, the man opened his mouth and poured the alcohol down his throat, hoping to numb himself. He had seen too much bad news today; King Riku's spirit was on the verge of collapse. Without Dressrosa, what use was this king?

Violet had no intention of hiding it any longer. After organizing her thoughts for a moment, she spoke the truth: "Rebecca and the toy soldier fought to the very end. They are the last heroes of this country, while I am just a nobody who survived. I am not worthy to be the princess of this country."

The princess of the fallen kingdom personally donned the mask of pain, unwilling to recall the uprising three years prior, in which the participants suffered Doflamingo's most brutal suppression, with many not even having their complete remains found, and being hastily thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

The woman spent three days searching through the floating corpses at sea, finding half of Rebecca's skeleton and a toy soldier's head. Violet regained her memories of Cyrus, and unexpectedly, through a series of coincidences, she ended up burying her sister, brother-in-law, and their family together in the end.

"I can't save anything, I can't save anything, all I can do is collect the bodies of the people I know. Doflamingo is a demon," Violet sobbed uncontrollably, pouring out all the pain of so many years onto her father through her words. She, as a mother, was so exhausted; the living suffered more than the dead.

King Riku stood up and embraced his daughter. As a father, he gently stroked Violet's head, comforting his daughter who was on the verge of collapse, saying that living was more important than anything else, and that there was hope only in living.

“Violet, don’t be sad. It’s all over now. Dressrosa is destroyed. Let’s find a place for our family to continue living and leave this place of sorrow for good,” King Riku said, revealing his true feelings. This man seemed to be resigning himself to retirement.

The woman wiped away her tears with her own hands. Her father's warm embrace rekindled a spark of hope in her eyes, and she relaxed her guard: "Dover has already left this place on a giant. His subordinates can't care about us now. As long as we find a ship on the coast and go out to sea, our family can live a new life in seclusion."

Just now, King Riku had been trying to ask Violet who the man she was with was. But when he heard his youngest daughter subconsciously call Doflamingo "Doflamingo," the meticulous king instantly understood. All the inconsistencies became clear. It turned out that God had played another joke on him.

Three years ago, King Riku led the last resistance force against Doflamingo. After being defeated and captured, he was only imprisoned. Although he did not receive good food and drink, the fact that this old man has survived to this day is questionable.

When her father committed such a serious crime, how could his daughter Violet still live in the flower field for so many years? When did Doflamingo become so kind? This devil never acts without self-interest; he only takes care of things that are directly related to his own interests.

The question of whose child Elsa and Anna were is about to be revealed. King Riku never expected that his youngest daughter would give birth to the child of his enemy. Fate is truly cruel. At this moment, the man's soul falls from heaven to hell, and his longing for a better future is shattered.

The people he cherished were all dead; his chosen son-in-law did not leave with a complete body; he did not see his beloved eldest daughter one last time before she died; the child born to his eldest daughter also died in the uprising; and his youngest daughter, Violet, gave birth to the child of the culprit behind all of this. These multiple blows left King Riku heartbroken and devastated.

After the tender moment between father and daughter ended, the dutiful Violet saw that her father had finished his drink, so she went back to the kitchen to refill it. This time, she wanted to drink to her heart's content with her father and drink to her heart's content in order to get rid of Doflamingo's future.

After his daughter left, King Riku beckoned to the two little girls. Anna noticed that her older sister was a bit shy, so she took the initiative to sit on her grandfather's lap again. Then she spoke kindly to Elsa, saying, "Grandpa, don't blame your sister. She's just like that. She welcomes you into the family just like I do."

Faced with the girl's sincere smile, King Riku stroked Anna's small face with trembling hands, tears of pain streaming down his face. Taking a deep breath, he took out a cold weapon from his pocket, and the man made the most difficult decision of his life.

When Elsa, the older sister, saw her adoptive grandfather pull out a gun, the young girl was instantly stunned. For a short time, she lost her ability to speak and was powerless to do anything in the face of the tragedy that was about to unfold.

The cold muzzle of the gun was pressed against Anna's tender chin. This kind-hearted girl, who had never seen the world, tilted her head and looked at her grandfather with a puzzled expression, thinking that King Riku was going to play some new game with her. She loved playing games with Señor the most.

King Riku placed his finger on the trigger. "Farewell, Anna," the man said without hesitation, and pulled the trigger. After a gunshot, the little girl's warm blood splattered all over King Riku's face.

As Anna was executed, her mother Violet witnessed the scene. The tray in her hands fell to the ground, and the woman let out the sharpest scream of her life: "Why! Why!"

Violet's legs went weak and she knelt on the ground. When she saw her daughter lying in a pool of blood, despair tore apart a mother's heart in an instant. But she quickly deceived herself, taking small steps closer to Anna's body, giving herself the psychological suggestion that her daughter was still alive.

Before the mother could even pick up her daughter's body, her neck was met by the father's cold hands. King Riku used all the strength he had to tightly choke his little daughter's throat. The man's face was covered in blood, like a demon from hell. "I'm sorry, Violet. I'm sorry, Violet."

In a contest of strength, the male often has the upper hand. King Riku was a swordsman who had trained for many years. Violet grabbed her father's arm, her ten fingernails digging into the man's flesh. Although she did not understand why her father was doing this, she wanted to leave the hope of life to another child. She spoke in a weak voice: "Elsa... run away... run away, Elsa..."

Hearing her mother's call, Elsa's stiff body regained consciousness. Seeing her beloved person suffocating, and recalling the killer's weapon, tears welled up in the girl's eyes. After one last look at Anna lying on the ground, she could only leave this dangerous place without looking back; this was no longer home.

"Doflamingo's sinful bloodline must be severed, for the sake of those who died in Dressrosa, for the sake of those who died in Dressrosa... I'm sorry, Violet," King Riku said, his face contorted with grief and tears streaming down his face. He had to kill his own daughter for the sake of those who died unjustly. As the King of Dressrosa, he had to do this. He would not live alone after everything was resolved.

“Riku...Dold...III, all the evil in the world will curse you, I absolutely…”

With a crisp snapping sound, King Riku broke his own daughter's neck. Princess Violet's head lolled to the side, and she perished in the heavens.

Chapter 203 Escape

The people of Dressrosa all know the name Cyrus, and his gladiator statue still stands in the arena. Over the years, influenced by the Sugar-Sugar Fruit, the people have always thought that he was a fictional character. It turns out that all of this was caused by Doflamingo.

The toys on the street used to be living, breathing human beings. Who were they husbands, sons, and fathers? Being forgotten by one's family is the saddest thing in the world, but losing the corresponding memories renders everything meaningless.

Rebecca, dressed in revealing fencing attire, excitedly hugged the one-legged toy soldier in her arms. It turned out that her biological father had always been by her side, protecting her from the wind and rain. But she only learned all this today because she had lost her memory. "Father, Father, why didn't you tell me sooner? I miss you so much, I miss you so much."

Although his memories were erased due to the Childhood Devil Fruit, the emotions that humans are born with are still hidden in his heart. The toy soldier was being held by his daughter, and he could neither shed tears nor show any other expression. "Rebecca, I have always been by your side. I have always been here."

The stubborn daughter never wore a pretty dress, but picked up a sword and embarked on the path of a gladiator from which there is no return. On ordinary days, she was subjected to hysterical insults from the audience in the arena, and her father was completely unable to stop Rebecca from being hurt.

For a moment, the toy soldier wanted to tell the truth, but he swallowed the words back. The father had become such a ridiculous figure, unable to even protect his lover. He had no sword to reunite with Rebecca.
