Starting with the Uchiha clan, they began cultivating demonic arts.

Chapter 283 Sugar Surrenders

Violet and the others were worried, fearing that more fish-men would join the Doflamingo Pirates and strengthen their forces.

However, in reality... the few hundred fishmen who went to Dressrosa were already the entirety of Fishman Island. Shirahoshi's massacre was very thorough. There were also a large number of sea beasts and sea kings patrolling and guarding the outer perimeter of Fishman Island. The fishmen who escaped basically became the food of these sea kings.

Only a very few powerful and fortunate fish-men managed to escape the sea kings' hunt, flee Fishman Island, and arrive in Dressrosa.

Of course, Violet and her group will soon no longer need to worry about this issue.

"Wait, what's that? A small island?"

Violet's gaze swept across Dressrosa, and just as she was about to look away, she suddenly saw a colossal creature emerging from the distant sea.

It was a gigantic sea monster, several kilometers in size, comparable to a small island, which was now rushing towards Dressrosa at a seemingly slow but actually incredibly fast speed.

"This...this is...a giant sea king?! How could there be such a monster near Dressrosa?"

Violet was completely dumbfounded. Although sea kings were not uncommon in the New World, those several kilometers in size were a different story.

These sea kings typically have their own hunting territories. Even in the resource-rich pirate world, a suitable environment is still needed to breed such monsters, and there is clearly no suitable environment near Dressrosa.

However, anything can happen on the Grand Line. Back in Little Garden, there was even an island-eating goldfish that tried to devour the island! Although the sudden appearance of a giant sea king was somewhat unexpected, Violet only remained surprised for a while before calming down.

"I wonder if the Doflamingo Pirates can handle this giant Sea King?"

Violet's face showed a hint of worry. Although she desperately wanted everyone in the Doflamingo family to die suddenly, she absolutely did not want it to be in the form of dragging Dressrosa down with them!

Sea Kings are already several kilometers long. Even though they seem to swim very slowly, they can actually swim at least tens of kilometers per minute. In just ten minutes, ordinary people in Dressrosa can see small black dots in the distance.

The black dot grew larger and faster, and after a short while, everyone saw the giant sea king approaching from afar.

This sea monster looks like a turtle, with a huge shell on its back. The shell is decorated with many structures, and even has resin bubbles to prevent water from getting in when diving.

Just by seeing the structure on the turtle's back and the bubble, it was clear that this turtle, a Sea King, was definitely not a wild one. Similarly, upon seeing the giant Sea King, the Doflamingo family almost instantly prepared for war.

"Be careful, the other party is probably the enemy!"

"Damn it, these guys have become far too arrogant since the young master left!"

The Donquixote Family is still preparing for war, but the fishmen who have only recently arrived in Dressrosa are already trembling with fear and want to flee before the battle even begins.

After all, these people knew very well who their opponents were. Who else could control Sea Kings besides Princess Shirahoshi from Fish-Man Island?

Unfortunately, it was too late to escape now. Before the people of Dressrosa could react, the giant sea king had already stirred up towering waves and landed on Dressrosa!

The giant sea king, several thousand meters tall, could easily create massive waves tens or even hundreds of meters high with a simple movement. Even though the sea king was very careful when it landed, the waves, which were more than ten meters high, still submerged a large portion of Dressrosa in an instant.

Fortunately, just as the waves were about to enter the city, huge rocks suddenly rose from the ground, forming a large stone wall that blocked the raging waters, thus preventing major damage to the entire city of Dressrosa.

As for the ports of Dressrosa and the fields surrounding the city... well, there's nothing we can do about that. But those places are sparsely populated, so even if there are some casualties, it would only be a thousand or so at most. The Doflamingo family wouldn't care about such casualties.

"Have we arrived in Dressrosa yet?"

Stretching, Uchiha Tou stepped out of the room, looked at Dressrosa before him, and turned to Princess Vivi and Nami who had come out, saying:

"This is your responsibility. Can you take them down?"

Nami rolled her eyes and said:

"Dressrosa is nothing. You've already taken down Doflamingo, the toughest one. The rest of these weaklings should be a piece of cake!"

"Don't say that, Nami. Some of the Devil Fruit users in the Doflamingo family are indeed quite troublesome..."

Princess Vivi spoke with a hint of caution, but judging from her tone, she clearly didn't take the Doflamingo family seriously.

While the two were still chatting, the stone wall that was originally protruding on Dressrosa Island began to grow taller and taller, eventually transforming into a giant.

"Who are you guys? How dare you provoke the Doflamingo family!"

The shrill voice echoed in the air, and a smile immediately appeared on Uchiha Tou's face:

"This guy's voice is hilarious! It doesn't match his tough-guy appearance at all."

The stone giant before them was named Pica. In terms of strength alone, he was probably the strongest executive in the entire Doflamingo family. Only the Marine spy from the Doflamingo family might have the strength to fight Pica.

However, after Doflamingo's death, the Marine spy stopped contacting the family, probably preparing to abandon the Doflamingo family—after all, the Marine spy was also a top executive of the Doflamingo family, and in terms of status, he was no less than any other family member.

Without Doflamingo, the young master who commands respect, how can we expect him, a Marine Vice Admiral, to return to the family? Therefore, Pica is now the ace of the entire Doflamingo family.

"Leave this big guy to me!"

Looking at the stone giant before her, Princess Vivi spoke, then transformed into a golden light and flew into the sky, landing on the stone giant's head.

"You're a Logia-type Devil Fruit user?!"

Pica looked at Princess Vivi, who had transformed into a sandstorm and flown onto his head, and his voice suddenly showed a hint of surprise. After transforming into a stone giant, Pica's pure physical strength was terrifying.

However, his enormous size meant that his imposing aura was insufficient to withstand the attacks of the stone giant, making it less than ideal for dealing with Logia-type Devil Fruit users.

Princess Vivi, who landed on the stone giant's head, stretched out a hand, and instantly the light extended continuously, transforming into a golden giant sword, which she then slashed down!

With a deafening roar, the entire stone giant was cleaved in two. Then, with a slight tremor of Princess Vivi's arm, the stone giant was reduced to dust amidst countless rays of golden light!

The Light-Light Fruit's incredible speed and powerful cutting ability almost instantly obliterated the stone giant. As the stone giant turned to dust, a tall, muscular man shrouded in Armament Haki escaped from beneath its feet.

However, Princess Vivi in ​​the sky had already seen Pica escape. She simply stretched out a finger, and a golden light flashed. The fleeing strong man froze, a golden light pierced through his chest, and he fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Uchiha Tou snapped his fingers, and a black hole appeared in the ground, piercing through Pica's heart and sucking him in as he was about to die. A moment later, Uchiha Tou reached into the black hole and took out a Devil Fruit.

That was Pica's Stone-Stone Fruit. In an environment with plenty of rocks, this Paramecia-type Devil Fruit could even unleash the destructive power of a Logia-type. Among all Devil Fruits, it could be considered a top-tier one.

"You two be careful. It's best to capture all those Devil Fruit users alive, otherwise their Devil Fruits will be lost if they die."

Shrugging, Uchiha Tou said something to Nami and Vivi.

Nami and Vivi readily agreed, and one transformed into a bolt of lightning, the other into a golden ray, as they charged directly towards the King's Highlands.

Uchiha Touyu didn't watch their battle much. One of them was a dual Devil Fruit user, and the other was a triple Devil Fruit user. Both of their Devil Fruit abilities were incredibly powerful. Furthermore, after being strengthened by Uchiha Touyu, their potential has been realized more and more over the past few months, making them arguably the strongest beings below the Four Emperors.

Even if Doflamingo were still alive, any woman could probably beat him up, let alone now that Doflamingo is dead.

Both flashes of light and lightning are among the fastest phenomena in nature. With the added speed of these two fruits, both Nami and Princess Vivi became incredibly fast. In just a few minutes, the entire Doflamingo remnant gang in Dressrosa was wiped out.

A moment later, a bolt of lightning struck Uchiha Touyu again. After the light disappeared, Nami, holding a little girl in her hand, threw her to the ground.

The little girl, wearing a red cloak, a monocle, and green hair, looked quite adorable. After falling to the ground and rolling around, she pitifully raised her head.

"Big brother, pretty sisters, what do you want to do?"

Uchiha Touyu took a close look at the "little girl," and upon hearing her words, he burst out laughing.

"Still pretending to be an ordinary little girl? Sugar, the user of the Hobby-Hobby Fruit!"

Hearing this, Sugar, who was squatting on the ground, finally realized that she had been completely exposed. She gritted her teeth and stood up:

"What exactly are you guys trying to do?"

"Wait...you...you are...you're the one who killed the young master! Blood Demon Uchiha Touyu!"

After looking up carefully, Sugar finally realized that Uchiha Touyu looked somewhat familiar—Uchiha Touyu wasn't as conspicuous as some of the tallest pirates, so at first, Sugar didn't recognize him.

But now that Sugar has recognized Uchiha Tou's identity, she is trembling with fear. Who on the high seas doesn't know the name of the Blood Demon Uchiha Tou?

That is a terrifying existence far more terrifying than the Four Emperors of the Sea. The World Government has to use the status of the Celestial Dragons to win them over. It is a terrifying existence that can control the whole world with its own power!

"Y-you...Lord Blood Demon...I surrender! Please don't kill me! I'm very useful! My Devil Fruit ability will definitely be of great help to you!"

After trembling for a moment, Sugar knelt down and begged for mercy.

There's no way to say Sugar was disloyal to Doflamingo, but the key issue is that Doflamingo is already dead!

A dead person is a dead person. No matter how much prestige they had while they were alive, it all vanishes when they die. The Don Quixote family members, now calmer, had to consider what their future held.

As far as Sugar knows, many members of the Doflamingo family have already begun to look for new allies. For example, the Beasts Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, and some leaders of underground forces all have members of the Doflamingo family secretly colluding with them.

If that's the case, then clinging to the biggest, most powerful backer shouldn't be a problem, right?

Although Doflamingo died at the hands of Uchiha Tou, isn't it normal for crew members to surrender after the captain is defeated in a pirate battle?

If Doflamingo's subordinates were still filled with anger and despair when he first died, they would still seek revenge against their enemy. But now that Doflamingo has been dead for several months, the rest of the Donquixote Family have calmed down, and Sugar has also come to terms with the facts.

"Alright..."

Uchiha Touyu glanced at Sugar but didn't say much. The main reason was that although Sugar's Devil Fruit was terrifying, it also had great side effects, so Uchiha Touyu had no intention of extracting the Devil Fruit.

The Hobby-Hobby Fruit has amazing effects; it can turn a person into a toy and erase all of their interpersonal relationships and impressions of others. However, the person who obtains the Hobby-Hobby Fruit will remain around ten years old, and their strength will not improve.

Otherwise, this Devil Fruit wouldn't be called the Hobby-Hobby Fruit. If it only turns people into toys, then it might as well be called the Toy Fruit.

So even if Uchiha Hiyu extracted the Devil Fruit from Sugar's body, he couldn't find a better host, so he might as well just take Sugar under his command.

As for loyalty... Uchiha Touyu simply gave Sugar a good beating while she was kneeling on the ground, so there's no need to worry about that.
