Konoha: I, Naruto, will eat the Forest-Forest Fruit!

"What should we do?"

"Pika asked."

Diamanti shook her head. "Since you've already said that..."

"Since we're already here... you take care of distracting them, I'll go rescue them."

"You don't need to come along."

Diamanti glanced back at his "Fighting Legion".

"I'll go draw their fire?!"

A chill ran through Pica, and she couldn't help but confirm it one more time.

"Otherwise, your Stone-Stone Fruit ability is better suited for drawing fire, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Pica had no choice but to give up.

"My Devil Fruit ability makes it easier to save people."

Faced with an unknown terror, neither of them retained their former composure.

Each one was extremely cautious.

They were terrified that making a mistake would lead to utter ruin.

"Damn it... I didn't expect this guy to arrive so quickly."

"Young Master's prediction was wrong... Judging by the timeline, Young Master will be bringing Caesar back soon."

"Diamanti!"

"Hmm." Diamanti looked at him.

Pica said in a shrill voice, "If I fail, you can just leave!"

I said it myself; no one forced me.

So even though she was in a difficult situation, Pica had to bite the bullet and go on.

"It will take a while... that person doesn't seem to take us seriously."

"Great opportunity, let's sneak over!"

Pica lowered her voice and then walked towards the stands where Naruto was standing.

Diamanti nodded slightly and followed.

The two then carried out the plan one after the other.

At this moment, Violet had already returned with Princess Mansherry of the Tontatta tribe.

Upon arriving at the foot of the platform, Violet had not yet spoken.

Numerous tree roots appeared underfoot.

While she was still in a daze, a round wooden platform lifted her up to the height of a high platform.

"Lord Naruto, I have brought her back."

After a moment of stunned silence, Violet, shocked by this unknown power, quickly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee.

Naruto waved his hand. "Stand up and speak. You're still a princess; there's no need for that."

Violet glanced at the woman in Naruto's arms.

Perona's physical body is right here.

So...

Was it she who made the move before?

Violet wasn't stupid; she quickly thanked him, "Thank you so much, Naruto-sama, for saving my life."

Naruto glanced at her.

"You're thanking me?"

"Did you bring the person out?"

Vika hid behind Naruto.

She was just a scout, and she rarely showed herself in front of humans.

In the past, there wouldn't have been any problem.

The Kingdom of Dressrosa is now under the rule of Doflamingo, and the Tontatta tribe is suffering terribly because of him.

"Here."

Violet lifted the little figure from her arms.

"Princess Mansherry~!"

Vika exclaimed in surprise.

They, the little people, tried for so long but couldn't rescue them.

The man in front of me was saved with just one sentence?

"Where am I...? Who are you?"

Mansherry's eyes were red, and there were still tears in the corners of her eyes.

Naruto reached out his hand.

"Ah~"

When Mansherry saw the large hand reaching out, she screamed and closed her eyes.

Tears streamed down her face again.

Violet quickly placed Mansherry in Naruto's hands.

Naruto brought him to him.

Like the other Dongtata people.

Mansherry also had a petite body and a pointed nose.

She wore a hat, and her long hair was styled into two braids, each adorned with a flower.

Moreover, there was a faint blush on Mansherry's cheeks.

Mansherry suddenly felt a tickle in her nose.

She secretly opened her eyes.

She just happened to see fingers bigger than hers gently poking her nose.

Why is your nose so pointy?

Then let me ask you...

Naruto then wiped away the tears on her face with his fingers.

"Very strong healing ability."

"It's no wonder you were imprisoned in the palace."

"You must have helped quite a few people like Don Quixote over the years, right?"

Upon hearing this, Mansherry couldn't help but burst into tears again.

"I will no longer treat those bad people."

Vika quickly jumped into Naruto's arms.

"Princess, it was Lord Naruto who saved you."

Mansherry was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to Naruto.

Just as he was about to speak, Naruto waved.

Violet stepped forward.

Naruto placed the two small creatures in her hands.

"The person has arrived."

The moment the words fell.

The unconscious Rao G had a wooden ring around its neck.

hum-

After a brief wriggling motion, the Wood Release platform was flung out.

click -

Immediately afterwards, a wooden splinter extended from the ring and merged into the stands.

Rao G was left hanging there.

He has no chance of surviving.

At that moment, Pica and Diamanti, who had secretly arrived, stared wide-eyed.

Is... is this even worth saving?

Since we're already here!

In the distance, the Don Quixote family's guards looked terrified.

Although Rao G is not a high-ranking officer, his strength is known not only to the guards but also to the common people of the Kingdom of Dressrosa.

He was defeated just like that, and he's still hanging there?

Who is it?

How dare they cause trouble in the Kingdom of Dressrosa!

call out--

Just then, a wooden root shot towards Diamanti and Pica.

"hateful!"

"We've been discovered!"

Diamanti and Pica simultaneously increased the distance between them.

"Proceed according to plan."

"I know!"

Pika responded.

Immediately afterwards, the Stone-Stone Fruit's power was activated.

The fruit's ability is to allow the user to assimilate any rocks they come into contact with.

It incorporates the rock's appearance, hardness, and other properties into its own power.

Therefore, those who receive the power of rocks can transform into enormous rock giants to attack.

The limit of Pica is the size of an island.

"Not bad ability."

"The main body can be hidden inside the stone."

Moreover, any substance that can be classified as "rock".

Users of the Stone-Stone Fruit can control it.

Changing the terrain and the appearance of buildings are all within their capabilities.

Buildings or trees attached to rocks will be indirectly assimilated by the ability user and become one with them.

On land, it's practically an invincible ability.

Faced with the attack of the wooden roots.

Pica didn't dare to be careless and immediately turned around and burrowed into the rocky ground.

On the other side, Diamanti, who possessed the Fluttering Fruit, slapped a wooden root with his palm.

In an instant, the ability was activated.

The originally hard and straight tree roots immediately became soft, like ropes.

However, it still retains the Wood Release attribute.

However, the next second, Diamanti was stunned.

puff-

He lowered his head in disbelief.

A thick wooden root had somehow pierced through his chest.

Moreover, the wood roots 'exploded' the moment they entered his body.

Dense, dense roots spread throughout his body.

In the blink of an eye, all of the body's vitality was destroyed and absorbed.

"This...this is the power that makes the young master wary...possessing the strength to destroy Marine Headquarters?"

Diamanti's consciousness was already somewhat blurred.

He felt like he was taking off.

Indeed, it was dragged over by the Wood Release: Roots and, like Rao G, was suspended in mid-air.

Diamanti's gaze fell to the ground; he hadn't bled at all.

But the life force vanished incredibly quickly.

Rao G, standing beside him, seemed to have a chance of survival, but he was already dead.

"He's this powerful... Young Master, please don't come back... This Naruto Uzumaki is far more terrifying than any of the so-called Four Emperors..."

Diamanti murmured something, and then her pupils began to dilate.

the other side.

Pika was greatly alarmed upon seeing this.

But he wasn't confident he could escape, so he had no choice but to fight to the death.

"Crucus!!!"

Pica's sharp voice rang out.

Rumble—!!!

Immediately afterwards, eight tentacles made of hard rock rose from the ground.

Eight rock tentacles attacked Naruto.

However, it hasn't been raised to the height of the stands yet.

On the high platform, the Wood Release technique surged, and numerous thick tree roots appeared.

The attack from Pica's rock tentacles was neutralized.

Even those rocks were not hard enough against the tree roots.

Pica's face instantly turned ugly.

His true form was hidden in the rock, and he had already sensed that a large number of tree roots were searching for him.

No hesitation.

Pica's main body quickly dodged.

Like a mayfly, it moved through the rock layers.

Before long, Pica arrived at the highland rocks.

Rumble—!!!

Numerous huge and sharp stone pillars jut out from the surface of the cliff.

In an instant, the spreading tree roots were stopped.

At that moment, a thick, rocky arm stretched out.

The giant rocky hand tore apart the tree roots.

A massive rock tower emerged from the cliff.

The shape of the rock has changed dramatically.

Soon, the Gundam transformed into the shape of Pica.

He looked down at Naruto, who was sitting on the high throne below.

"Naruto Uzumaki!"

A sharp, piercing sound rang out.

"Shut up."

"Your voice is awful."

Naruto didn't even glance at him.

Raise your hand and squeeze.

Rumble—!!!

The next second, a wooden figure, even larger than Pika's rocky body, rose from the ground.

Before Pica could react, his proud rock giant body was gripped by a large wooden hand.

clack clack-

The sound of rocks cracking echoed continuously.

Pica, hiding inside the rock giant, panicked.

He wanted to escape.

However, this wooden hand, which could grab him with one hand, carried a special kind of power.

Pica discovered that even after releasing the control over the rock giant, she could not escape the rock giant's body.

Not only that, after the wooden hand grasped him, a large number of tree roots penetrated deep into it.

Pica has lost the ability to think.

All that remained was the instinct to survive.

Rumble—!!!

The enormous rock giant fell to the ground.

Several human houses were still hanging on its body.

Fortunately, with Perona's help...

Toy Captain and Rebecca have completed their mission.

The nearby residents were dispersed.

Rebecca stared at the scene in utter shock.

"Father...is that Naruto-sama's power?"

After a moment of silence, the toy soldier said in a deep voice:

"I once read in a book... there is a kind of Devil Fruit that can manipulate nature."

Rebecca blinked and quickly asked, "Father, what kind of fruit is that?"

"Logia-type - Forest Fruit!"

"Forests are a source of life that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the sea."

"Therefore, the one with the ability is nature itself!"
