Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

Anyway, they also want to solve the problems in Dressrosa.

The large quantities of weapons and drugs flowing from here into the sea disrupted some of the revolutionary army's operations.

This problem will need to be solved sooner or later.

The Blackwing Demon Lord's target is the Donquixote Family, and in some ways, it aligns with the goals of their revolutionary army!

"That's fine then."

After thinking for a second, Lockes agreed.

He continued, "You should be good at infiltration, right? There's a Donquixote Family member with the Hobby-Hobby Fruit ability. Her ability is quite special; she can turn people into toys."

"The person who is turned into a toy will have their memories erased by everyone."

"Doflamingo has set up an ambush here, and we don't know the World Government's plans here, so let's disrupt their rhythm first."

That's one of the advantages of being a time traveler.

There is a lot of information.

If Sugar can be dealt with, the island will descend into chaos without Rocks and his crew having to lift a finger.

Let's disrupt Doflamingo and the World Government's plans first.

It's always good to be careful!

"Turning someone into a toy? And making them lose all memory of the person they became a toy?"

Sabo and Kerla were both very surprised.

It actually has this kind of Devil Fruit power?

More importantly... turning into a toy?

Does that mean all the toys on this island are living, breathing people?

Thinking of this, Sab and Kelala's expressions turned somewhat unpleasant.

They've been on the island for several days now and have seen the toys "discarded" several times...

"Wait! Sabo, what if you lose the memories of the person who was turned into a toy..."

Kella realized another crucial point and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that this operation involves more than just the two of us?"

"Are there other people around, just turned into toys? Have we forgotten about them?"

Revolutionary Army operations rarely involve two people.

This is not safe.

The fact that only the two of them came this time already made Kella somewhat suspicious.

However, I previously thought it was just the leader's way of training them...

That's probably not the case now!

If the Blackwing Archdemon's words are true, then their companions were likely turned into toys.

Sab also realized the seriousness of the matter: "Lord Lox, is this information accurate?"

Locke took a sip of coffee: "Of course, I have no reason to say these things to deceive you."

"Among the Don Quixote Family executives is a little girl named Sugar. Her power is the Hobby-Hobby Fruit, which turns people into toys into obeying her commands."

"However, as long as we can defeat her, the power of the Hobby-Hobby Fruit will be lost, and everyone who has been turned into a toy will be restored."

To be fair, once Sugar is defeated, Doflamingo's actions on this island will be completely exposed.

Even world governments cannot protect them.

Furthermore, the chaos in Dressrosa also helped Rox see through their plans.

Knowing that the World Government was taking action, Rocks also needed to be cautious.

Anyone who has read the comics knows that the World Government's resources are incredibly vast.

CP organizations, the Knights of God, the Five Elders, the Navy Headquarters, Im...

No wonder it has not been overthrown for hundreds of years; just thinking about its foundation is enough to make one shudder!

Kella said solemnly, "Recently, the bullring has been holding large-scale competitive fights every day. Is this to accumulate strength?"

Lox exclaimed in surprise, "Oh? Is that so?"

The toys that Sugar can create come in various sizes and can even be freely assembled.

Larger toys also possess considerable fighting power.

Is Doflamingo still making these preparations to deal with them?

"Yes, we've been on this island for several days now. The bullfighting arena hosts competitive fights every day, which is one of the reasons we deduce that something has happened on this island."

Sabo said, "But I never expected that this was Doflamingo's preparation to deal with you all..."

The clues have been connected.

They believed that the changes on the island were preparations made by Doflamingo in order to deal with the Black Winged Demon Lord!

Lockes counted on his fingers: "That guy does have some skill. If we stall for any longer, his accumulated power will probably only grow stronger..."

If this hypothesis holds true, then Doflamingo's preparations will become stronger over time.

The large-scale production of high-quality toys follows the same path that Moria used to create zombies.

If those toys weren't intimidated by Conqueror's Haki, they would definitely be a force to be reckoned with.

It is not uncommon for ants to kill elephants.

This shows that Doflamingo is a difficult guy, a cunning and ruthless tyrant...

As for why Doflamingo didn't accumulate power like this before?

Firstly, it's unnecessary. Doflamingo is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the king of a member state of the World Government, and also the king of the underworld.

He has connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds.

Most of the people who can threaten Doflamingo have dealings with him, while those who cannot threaten him are not worth worrying about.

Secondly, toys are also made of people, and Dressrosa cannot develop by relying solely on toys.

Human beings are the ones who create value.

Furthermore, a country without humans would be too conspicuous and eye-catching, making it hard not to arouse suspicion and attention. Doflamingo wouldn't be foolish enough to do such a thing.

Now...

Of course, it was a last resort.

Doflamingo has been targeted by the Blackwing Lair adventuring crew; if he doesn't gather his strength, he'll suffer a terrible death...

Rocks' eyes flashed, and he grinned, "But sometimes, accumulating power can be a disaster..."

Even the largest toy army has weaknesses. Once Sugar is defeated, all preparations will be in vain, and it will even backfire on her.

"As for Sugar, the user of the Hobby-Hobby Fruit, we'll handle it..."

Sabo hadn't finished speaking...

A deafening boom echoed from afar!

Saber abruptly stood up, looked out the window where smoke and dust were billowing into the sky. He said in a deep voice:

"That's... the bullfighting arena?"

"Is the commotion from competitive fighting really that big?"

Rocks looked on in surprise.

The billowing smoke and dust indicated that the commotion was quite significant.

This wasn't a bomb explosion; it looked like an attack from a powerful being. Someone made a move over there.

And the person who made the move must be quite strong.

Are the battles in the bullfighting arena really that intense?

The commotion has reached this place...

Immediately afterward, Lox saw a scene where the air and space seemed to be distorted, and paused for a moment: "Hmm? Is that Ichisho?"

That situation was very similar to how Yixiao manipulated the Gravity Fruit...

Rocks' Observation Haki spread out, allowing him to "see" the situation clearly, and he couldn't help but click his tongue:

"It seems there's no way to hide it anymore. Yixiao's 'professional habit' kicked in, and he immediately found the 'source' of the darkness..."

The commotion was caused by Yi Xiao's outburst; a corner of the bullring was lifted.

Others may not know what lies beneath the bullring, but Rocks certainly does.

If the "darkness" there is discovered, Yixiao, a benevolent and righteous person, would not sit idly by.

Taking action is the only natural thing to do.

With Yixiao's intervention, the news of their Blackwing Demon Adventure Group's presence in Dressrosa could no longer be concealed...

Chapter 221 A Smile Against CP0! The Darkness Hidden in This Country!

Bullfighting arena.

Chaos had broken out here, and the competitive fighting that was taking place was brought to a halt at this moment.

"Turning people into toys, making them forget, and using them as slaves—is this the darkness hidden within this country...?"

Yixiao was located somewhere inside the bullfighting arena, with dust billowing in front of him.

With his cane-sword half-drawn from its sheath, he smiled, frowned, and muttered to himself, "The toys on the island are all transformed from humans. How wicked!"

He had previously entered the bullfighting arena with King Riku.

Upon questioning, he learned the identity of King Riku—the former king of this country!

Seeing Rikuo defeated by his opponent and carried away by medical staff, Ikko also calmed down and hid in the athletes' rest room.

He then “saw” humans being turned into toys in the players’ lounge.

Although he forgot the appearance and origin of the person who was turned into a toy, he did not forget the fact that "humans were turned into toys".

and so……

Yi Xiao made his move.

It was also to save King Riku, the former king of this country whom he had only recently met.

Yi Xiao's strength needs no further explanation; with a ruthless move, he unveiled this corner of the bullfighting arena.

This also exposes the darkness here to the light.

And Yixiao's behavior was naturally discovered by the Don Quixote family!

"You are... 'The Blind Swordsman' Yi Xiao!?"

Diamanti, one of the Don Quixote family executives, codenamed "Square," smiled upon seeing this, and given Diamanti's earlier actions, he immediately recognized the other party's identity.

One of the members of the Blackwing Demon Lord, the "Blind Swordsman" Smile, with a bounty of 1.8 billion Berries!

Upon seeing Yixiao, Diamanti's forehead was covered in sweat as she gritted her teeth and asked, "When exactly did you arrive in Dressrosa?"

He was fully aware that he had been targeted by the Blackwing Demon Hai Zi F.

He was already mentally prepared.

Even with mental preparation, he still felt somewhat flustered when he saw the members of the Blackwing Demon Clan.

What alarmed Diamanti even more was that many people had discovered the existence of the toys.

This is the deepest secret, the secret that must not be known to outsiders.

Once exposed, their situation will become very precarious...

When exactly did the Blackwing Demon Lord arrive here?

Despite their increased screening of outsiders, the enemy managed to infiltrate undetected.

They also discovered their hidden "darkness"...
