One Piece: Starting from Awakening the Cosmo at Marineford

Given the size of the bullfighting arena, it can probably hold 20,000 to 30,000 spectators. How can you say that no one pays attention to this place?

The lark explained, "What can you hear now?"

"Voices of talking, cheers."

"Anything else?"

"That's all."

Lark laughed and said, "The commotion in the bullfighting arena is so loud, even if you shout your heart out here, the people inside won't hear you."

Then it dawned on me: "Yes, no matter how loud the machine is, it's not as loud as the noise here."

Yun Que said, "Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, the machine should be underground here. With the ground providing sound insulation, plus the voices of so many people, the machine's noise will be completely drowned out."

"That's true during the day," Finbdi said. "But what about at night?"

Lark asked, "When the bullfighting arena closes at night, will anyone still come here?"

Finbdi opened his mouth, but couldn't find a reason to refute it.

The lark, as if seeking praise, asked, "Senior Aaron, do you think what I said is correct?"

Aaron smiled and said, "I think so too. Alright, let's go in and take a look; maybe we can catch a good sword fight."

The four arrived at the door and were stopped by two guards.

"The match has already started today; you cannot go in."

"They won't let us in? Then we bought the ticket for nothing?"

The guard held out his hand: "Where's the ticket? Let me see it."

Finbuddy chuckled: "I haven't bought it yet."

The guard said irritably, "You haven't bought a ticket yet, so why are you babbling on? Get out of here. If you want to watch the game, buy your tickets early and come early!"

Aaron asked, "I'd like to participate in the sword fighting competition the day after tomorrow. Where do I register?"

The guard rolled his eyes, pursed his lips, and said, "Turn left, the second door."

Thanks.

"whispering sound!"

After walking more than a hundred meters, I finally saw a registration booth with about ten people queuing inside.

Aaron glanced around but didn't see any familiar faces.

When it was Aaron's turn, he went up and wrote down his name: "LEE".

"Boss, I want to play too," said Finbdi.

Aaron glanced at him: "What? You want to get beaten up?"

"In no mood."

"Stay over there."

Bernard said, "Boss, let's go buy the tickets now. Tickets for the day after tomorrow will definitely be in high demand."

Hibari nodded: "Yes! I don't want to miss...senpai's battle!"

"Boss, we're cheering you on!" said Finbdi.

Aaron said, "Whether I cheer or not, I'm going to win."

After finding out where to buy the tickets, Finnbusy jogged off.

A moment later, he returned with 10 tickets, hurriedly saying, "Lark, Bernard, you two go buy tickets too. Each person can only buy ten tickets at most; those greenhorns need to go in and cheer for their boss!"

Yun Que said, "Let's inform them first to avoid buying duplicates and wasting money."

"Hey! Money's no object!" Fombardy said nonchalantly.

After leaving the bullring, Fombardy said, "Boss, how about we check out Lovers' Avenue? It's a famous tourist spot!"

Lark blushed slightly, her eyes filled with anticipation as she looked at Aaron.

Aaron said, "Alright, since we have nothing else to do, let's go wander around."

The four of them went to Lovers' Avenue with great enthusiasm. Lark followed closely beside Aaron, her head bowed shyly.

Finnbjerg and Bernard were sensible enough to stay a distance behind.

But soon, Finbdi realized something was wrong.

Along the way, many people pointed at them and whispered among themselves.

"F!" Fimbdie suddenly realized, jumping back a distance. "Bernard, stay away from me!"

Bernard asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"Damn it! Those guys think we're gay!" Fombardy cursed.

Bernard said nonchalantly, "We know we're not, so why should we care about what they think?"

Fempdick rolled his eyes: "I'm still thinking about picking up girls!"

"Oh." Bernard suddenly pointed to a spot, "You see, they don't care about worldly opinions."

When Finnbdi turned his head, he saw two burly men embracing each other without any restraint, and he immediately felt nauseous.

"Damn it! Bernard, get the hell away from me!"

Lovers' Avenue isn't very long; you can walk to the end in just a few minutes.

The lark seemed reluctant to leave, turning back as if it wanted to go through it again.

As evening approached, Aaron said, "Let's find somewhere to get something to eat. I've heard the food here is pretty good."

Hibari said, "Especially the steak and ham, they're absolutely delicious. And I've heard that the restaurant staff here are all dolls, which you can't see anywhere else."

The four of them found a restaurant, and a chubby bear-shaped waiter took their order.

Fombey turned to look at the dozen or so other doll salespeople bustling around the store, and asked in bewilderment, "Boss, in this world, I can understand animals speaking human language, or people turning into animals. But how do these inanimate dolls manage to act like humans?"

The lark shook its head: "Tell me, what's the logic behind humans becoming animals, and animals becoming humans?"

"Devil Fruits, need I say more?"

Hibari laughed and said, "That's right, so the reason these dolls can be like people is also due to the power of Devil Fruits."

Finbdi scoffed: "Then tell me, did the doll become a person, or did the person become a doll?"

The lark opened her mouth, but before she could finish speaking, she froze, a strange chill creeping into her heart.

"Can't answer that, can you?" Fombardy laughed.

Lark paused for a moment, then, after a long pause, lowered his voice and said to Aaron, "If the doll turned into a person, that would be fine. But if a person turned into a doll, that would be terrifying."

Fombardier chimed in, "Hey, don't scare yourself. I was just saying. Anyway, nothing is strange, no matter what.

Lark shook his head, increasingly certain: "There's definitely something strange about this place. I've been looking up information about Dressrosa these past few days, and it doesn't mention that this kingdom is a toy kingdom. In the past, it was only known for love and passion."

Aaron laughed and asked, "What else did you discover?"

Lark stared blankly, a look of horror spreading across his face: "Dresrosa has only become famous as a toy kingdom in the last ten years."

Aaron laughed, "That's right. Lark, you're really too clever."

"What's wrong now? Why are you all always talking so mysteriously?" Fombardy complained.

Lark beckoned, and Finnbundy and Bernard leaned closer.

Hibari lowered his voice: "Ten years ago, Doflamingo overthrew King Riku's rule and seized power in Dressrosa. Not long after that, Dressrosa became known as the Toy Kingdom."

Fempedi didn't take it seriously: "So what?"

Bernard realized something was wrong, but he had no clue what was going on, so he remained silent.

Hibari said, "This is enough to prove that these toy figures were created by Doflamingo."
