"."

As unfamiliar faces came into view, the Donquixote Pirates quickly snapped out of their astonishment.

Startled and angry, he hurriedly got up.

He looked at the stranger on the throne.

Some questioned him sternly.

Some were even more impatient and rushed forward directly.

boom! ! !

An overwhelming force of gravity suddenly descended.

Whether it was Diamante rushing forward in a panic or the others questioning him, all the Donquixote Pirates' officers inside the palace were being pressed to the ground in a sorry state by the immense gravity.

Beside the throne, Kalifa's pupils contracted, her heart filled with fear.

She wasn't afraid of the Donquixote Pirates' officers, but rather of Naraku sitting calmly beside her.

From the moment she arrived in Dressrosa, everything Naraku did once again shattered her understanding of the world.

For example, for some unknown reason.

After landing at this royal palace, the people here inexplicably mistook Naraku for Doflamingo, and even ignored her existence.

And now comes next.

The Donquixote Pirates' officers were instantly pinned to the ground by an invisible force.

All these behaviors caused her remaining will to resist to weaken again when she caught a glimpse of Naraku beside her, and it was almost completely lost.

The enormous body sank.

They were pinned to the ground by gravity.

In his shock and anger, Pica activated the Stone-Stone Fruit ability without thinking, attempting to escape the oppressive gravity by burrowing underground.

hum~

Pica reacted quickly, but Naraku's insight was even sharper.

Seated on his throne, he casually rested his right elbow on the armrest, while the back of his hand rested on his cheek.

Looking down at the Donquixote Pirates who were being suppressed by gravity, he immediately noticed Pica's abnormality.

The golden vertical pupils visible between his brows shone brightly.

next second.

Including Pica, everyone in the Donquixote Pirates was pulled into the air by gravity. Then, gravity turned into a semi-transparent sphere, which suppressed everyone and forced them to curl up.

"Someone come here! Where are the people outside?"

"Is everyone dead? Come in and help!"

"Damn it, what's going on?"

"."

Struggling desperately.

Not only Pica, but everyone else also struggled against the oppressive gravity, some even shouting themselves hoarse, trying to find the guards outside the palace.

But no matter what, the result is ultimately useless.

Despite his cries for help, the guards outside the palace ignored him.

The same applies to struggle.

For example, Pica.

Pulled into the air by gravity, the Stone-Stone Fruit's power suddenly became useless as it left the ground.

However, he still tried to break free by brute force, and even used Armament Haki to wrap his whole body in order to unleash even greater power.

No matter how much he struggled, he was still trapped inside by the gravity ball.

So does everyone else.

Monet, the user of the Snow-Snow Fruit, transforms into an element.

Even if it turns into snowflakes and drifts away, it still cannot escape the gravity ball.

They may use their abilities, or rely on their domineering aura and physical skills.

To Naraku, their various actions appeared to be nothing more than a performance put on for him by the Donquixote Pirates.

After a long while, the Donquixote Pirates, having exhausted all hope of escape, gradually stopped moving.

"Aren't you going to continue? Do you want me to give you some more time? Maybe if you struggle a little longer, you'll succeed."

Naraku lazily watched the crowd stop what they were doing.

"Who exactly are you?" Monet, having emerged from her elemental form, locked her gaze on Naraku, demanding an angry and startled question.

“That’s a good question. I am naturally your new master.” Naraku lowered his right hand, which was resting on his cheek, and said with a smile.

Owner?

Upon hearing this, the Donquixote Pirates' expressions immediately changed drastically.

“Arrogant bastard, do you know who we are? We are—” Torrebol roared in exasperation.

But before he could finish speaking, the gravity ball that was suppressing him suddenly contracted.

Bang! !

With a muffled, explosive sound, a mass of bloody paste filled the entire gravity sphere.

With a wave of his hand, the gravity ball flew into Naraku's hand.

As Naraku circulated his true energy, the lingering demonic energy of the Sticky Fruit was quickly and skillfully sealed into a gem-like form.

"A person's choices determine their destiny, so one must be careful when making choices." Naraku weighed the gem in his hand and looked indifferently at the other members of the Donquixote Pirates.

The hair is creepy.

Torrepol's tragic death serves as a stark warning.

When the Donquixote Pirates looked at Naraku again, their expressions immediately changed.

Those who originally intended to reprimand Torrepol hurriedly shut their mouths, fearing they too would end up with nothing but bones.

The palace fell silent.

Naraku slowly got up, went down the steps, and walked to the Donquixote Pirates.

"I have always valued talent, but I also despise incompetent people."

As the soft voice rang out, Naraku flicked out three streams of true energy with his fingers.

These three streams of true energy entered the three gravity spheres respectively.

The three gravity spheres contain Buffalo (Spin-Spin Fruit), Jora (Art-Art Fruit), and Señor Pick (Swim-Swim Fruit).

The true energy landed on the three people, instantly transforming into a curse seal that merged into their bodies.

The gravity ball dissipated.

Buffalo, Jora, and Señor Pique all landed back on the ground.

"Wasting rice!"

Before Buffalo and the others could react, Naraku uttered a soft sound.

"what!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the curse seals within Buffalo and the other two were activated.

All three knelt on the ground in agony, screaming in agony as they frantically tore at their own bodies.

Flesh and blood flew everywhere.

A terrifying scene unfolded.

Buffalo and his two companions were horribly torn apart, their flesh ripped to shreds, until they were completely lifeless.

True Qi circulates.

The energy of the three Devil Fruits, invisible to the naked eye, was bound by true energy and sealed into gem-like shapes before flying into Naraku's hand.

"As your master, my first warning to you is never to become incompetent, because incompetent people are not qualified to be under my command."

Having accepted the three new Demon Gems, Naraku calmly returned to his throne and then once again unleashed streams of true energy.

This true energy fell into the bodies of the other members of the Donquixote Pirates, and similarly transformed into curse marks that merged into their bodies.

Fear, panic.

If their bodies weren't suppressed by gravity, the Donquixote Pirates would have already rushed to strike the location where the cursed seal had merged.

Having witnessed the horrific deaths of Buffalo and his two companions, who could remain calm in the face of such a gruesome fate?

The Donquixote Pirates all looked at Naraku in horror.

They seemed to fear that they would die a horrible death like Buffalo and his two companions in the next second.
