Chapter 283: The Surrendering Sugar

Violet and the others were filled with worry, fearing that more Fish-Men would join the Doflamingo Pirates and bolster the strength of the Doflamingo Pirates.

However, in reality... the several hundred Fish-Men who headed to Dressrosa were already the entirety of Fish-Man Island; Shirahoshi's slaughter had been very thorough, and on the outskirts of Fish-Man Island, a large number of sea beasts and Sea Kings were patrolling and guarding, so the Fish-Men who escaped basically became food in the bellies of these Sea Kings.

Only a very small number of powerful and relatively lucky Fish-Men managed to evade the hunt of the Sea Kings, escape Fish-Man Island, and arrive at Dressrosa.

Of course, very soon, Violet and her group would no longer need to worry about this problem.

"Wait, what is that? A small island?"

Violet's gaze swept across Dressrosa, and just as she was about to retract it, she suddenly saw a behemoth emerging on the distant sea surface.

It was a massive sea monster, several thousand meters in size, comparable to a small island, and it was currently lunging toward Dressrosa at a speed that looked slow but was actually incredibly fast.

"This... this is... a giant Sea King?! How could such a monster be near Dressrosa?"

Violet was completely stunned; although Sea Kings were not rare things in the New World, one that was several thousand meters in size was a different matter.

Such Sea Kings generally had their own predatory territories, and even in the resource-rich One Piece World, nurturing such a monster still required a suitable environment; the area near Dressrosa clearly did not meet the requirements.

However, on the Grand Line, anything could happen; back at Little Garden, there were even Island-Eating Goldfish that would swallow islands! Although the sudden appearance of a giant Sea King was a bit unexpected, Violet calmed down after being surprised for a while.

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

A look of worry appeared on Violet's face; although she desperately hoped that everyone in the Donquixote Family would drop dead instantly, it absolutely could not be in a form that dragged Dressrosa down with them!

The Sea King itself was several thousand meters tall, and even if its swimming speed looked very slow, it could actually swim at least several dozen kilometers in a minute; in just ten minutes, the ordinary people of Dressrosa would be able to see the small black dot in the distance.

The black dot grew larger and larger, and the speed became faster and faster; a moment later, everyone saw the giant Sea King sailing in from afar.

This Sea King looked like a turtle, with a huge shell on its back; many buildings were designed on the shell, and there were even resin bubbles made on it to prevent water from entering when diving.

Just by seeing the buildings and the bubbles on the turtle's back, one could be certain that this turtle Sea King was definitely not some wild Sea King; the Donquixote Family, who also saw the giant Sea King, prepared for war almost instantly:

"Be careful, the other party is likely an enemy!"

"Damn it, after the Young Master left, these guys have been truly too rampant!"

The Donquixote Family was still preparing for war, yet the Fish-Men who had only recently arrived in Dressrosa were already trembling in their boots, wanting to flee before the battle even began.

After all, these people knew very clearly who the opponent before them was; besides that Princess Shirahoshi of Fish-Man Island, who else could control Sea Kings?

Unfortunately, it was already too late to run now; before the people of Dressrosa could react, the giant Sea King had already stirred up heaven-shaking waves and landed on Dressrosa!

A giant Sea King several thousand meters tall could stir up giant waves tens or even hundreds of meters high just by moving its body; even though this Sea King had been very careful when landing, waves over ten meters high still submerged half of Dressrosa in an instant.

Fortunately, just as the waves were about to enter the city, huge rocks suddenly surged from the ground, forming a large stone wall that blocked the heaven-shaking water, which prevented the entire Dressrosa from suffering major losses.

As for those ports of Dressrosa and the fields on the outskirts of the city... there was nothing to be done about that, but those places were sparsely populated, so even if there were some casualties, it would be at most a thousand people, and the Donquixote Family would not take such casualties to heart.

"Have we arrived at Dressrosa?"

Stretching, Uchiha Feiyu walked out of the room, looked at Dressrosa before him, and turned his head to say to Princess Vivi and Nami who had walked out:

"I'll leave this place to you two; can you take them down?"

Nami rolled her eyes and said:

"It's just a mere Dressrosa; that Doflamingo, the hardest one to deal with, has already been finished off by you, so dealing with the remaining bunch of small fry should be easy, right!"

"Don't say it like that, Nami; those Devil Fruit users of the Donquixote Family are indeed quite troublesome..."

Princess Vivi said with a bit of caution, though judging by her tone, she clearly didn't hold the Donquixote Family in high regard either.

Just as the two were chatting, on the island of Dressrosa at that moment, the originally protruding stone wall began to rise continuously, finally transforming into a giant.

"Who the hell are you guys? How dare you come to provoke our Donquixote Family!"

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

"This guy's voice is truly hilarious! It doesn't resemble 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 Donquixote Family, and perhaps only that Marine mole in the Donquixote Family had the strength to fight Pica.

However, after Doflamingo was gone, that Marine mole stopped contacting the family, likely preparing to abandon the Donquixote Family—after all, that Marine mole was also a top executive of the Donquixote Family, and in terms of status, he was no worse than any other family member.

Without Doflamingo, the Young Master who made people submit willingly, how could one expect this Marine Vice Admiral to return to the family? Therefore, the current Pica was already the trump card of the entire Donquixote Family.

"I'll leave this big guy to me to handle!"

Looking at the stone giant before her, Princess Vivi said this, then transformed into a streak of golden light, flew directly into the sky, and landed on the stone giant's head.

"You are a Logia Devil Fruit user?!"

Pica looked at Princess Vivi, who had transformed into a sandstorm and flown to his head, and his voice immediately held a hint of surprise; after transforming into a stone giant, Pica was terrifyingly powerful in terms of pure physical strength.

But such a huge body also meant his Haki could not support the stone giant's attacks, and facing a Logia fruit user, it was not a good way to fight.

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

With a boom, the entire stone giant was split in two, and then Princess Vivi's arm trembled slightly; amidst the shimmering golden light, the stone giant turned into dust within countless rays of light!

The super-high speed and powerful cutting ability of the Glint-Glint Fruit almost instantly whittled the stone giant away; at the same time the stone giant turned into dust, a tall, sturdy man covered in Armament Haki also escaped from the soles of the stone giant's feet.

However, Princess Vivi in the sky had long since seen Pica escaping; she just extended a finger, a streak of golden light flashed, the sturdy man who was fleeing stiffened, a streak of golden light pierced through his chest, and he immediately fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Uchiha Feiyu snapped his fingers, a black hole appeared on the ground, which directly sucked in the dying Pica whose heart had been pierced; a moment later, Uchiha Feiyu reached into the black hole and took out a Devil Fruit.

That was exactly Pica's Stone-Stone Fruit; in an environment with sufficient stone, this Paramecia Devil Fruit was even enough to exert the destructive power of a Logia, and among all Devil Fruits, it could be called a top-tier Devil Fruit.

"You two, be careful; it's best to capture those Devil Fruit users alive, otherwise if they die, the Devil Fruit will be lost."

Shrugging his shoulders, Uchiha Feiyu said this to Nami and Vivi.

Nami and Vivi naturally agreed; one transformed into a streak of lightning, the other into a streak of golden light, and they killed their way directly toward King's Plateau.

Uchiha Feiyu didn't pay much attention to their battle; these two were one a dual-fruit user and the other a triple-fruit user, and their Devil Fruit abilities were both incredibly powerful; having been strengthened by Uchiha Feiyu, their potential had been realized more and more over these past few months, and they could already be called top-tier powerhouses below the Four Emperors.

Even if Doflamingo were still alive, it is estimated that either woman could beat him up easily, let alone now that Doflamingo was dead.

Whether it was light or lightning, both were among the fastest phenomena in the natural world, and having gained the bonuses of these two fruits, both Nami and Princess Vivi were incredibly fast; in just a few minutes, the remnants of the Doflamingo Pirates throughout Dressrosa had been cleaned up.

A moment later, a streak of lightning landed back in front of Uchiha Feiyu; after the light vanished, Nami dragged a little girl in her hand and threw her directly onto the ground.

This little girl wore a red cape, wore a monocle, and had green hair; she looked quite cute, and after falling to the ground and rolling, she looked up pitifully:

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

Uchiha Feiyu took a careful look at this "little girl," and upon hearing her words, he laughed out loud:

"Are you still pretending to be an ordinary little girl here? Hobby-Hobby Fruit user Sugar!"

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

"You bunch of guys, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Wait... you... you are... you are that guy who killed the Young Master! Blood Demon Uchiha Feiyu!"

Looking up carefully, Sugar finally found Uchiha Feiyu somewhat familiar—Uchiha Feiyu was not as conspicuous as some Great Pirates who were several meters tall, so at first, Sugar had actually failed to recognize his identity.

But now that she had recognized Uchiha Feiyu's identity, Sugar began to tremble all over—on the sea today, who didn't know the reputation of the Blood Demon Uchiha Feiyu?

He was a terrifying existence far more fearsome than the Four Emperors of the Pirates, a terrifying existence whom the World Government had to win over with the status of a Celestial Dragon, and who could truly manipulate the entire world with his own strength!

"You, you, you... Lord Blood Demon... I surrender! Please don't kill me! I am very useful! My Devil Fruit Ability will definitely be of great help to you!"

After trembling for a moment, Sugar knelt directly on the ground, begging for her life.

There was no help for it; it wasn't that Sugar wasn't loyal to Donquixote Doflamingo, but the key was that Donquixote Doflamingo had already kicked the bucket!

A dead man is a dead man; no matter how much prestige he had while alive, it was all wiped clean once he died, and the members of the Donquixote Family who had calmed down had to consider where they would go from here.

As far as Sugar knew, quite a few members of the Doflamingo Family had already begun preparing to look for new employers; for example, the Beasts Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, and some leaders of underground forces all had some members of the Doflamingo Family secretly colluding with them.

Since that was the case, then there shouldn't be any problem with her clinging to the biggest, thickest thigh, right?

Although Donquixote Doflamingo had died at the hands of Uchiha Feiyu, well, they were pirates; isn't it a normal situation for crew members to surrender after their captain is defeated?

If it had been right when Donquixote Doflamingo died, his subordinates might still have sought revenge against the opponent in anger and despair, but now that Donquixote Doflamingo had been dead for several months, the others in the Donquixote Family had also calmed down, and Sugar had likewise recognized the facts.

"Fine..."

Uchiha Feiyu glanced at Sugar without saying much; the main thing was that although Sugar's Devil Fruit was extremely terrifying, its side effects were also very great, so Uchiha Feiyu had no intention of extracting the Devil Fruit.

The Hobby-Hobby Fruit has an astonishing effect, capable of directly turning people into toys and erasing all of a person's interpersonal relationships and others' impressions of them, but the person who obtains the Hobby-Hobby Fruit will have their age permanently fixed at around ten years old, and their strength will no longer be able to improve.

Otherwise, this Devil Fruit wouldn't be called the Hobby-Hobby Fruit; if it were merely turning people into toys, it might as well have been called the Toy-Toy Fruit.

Therefore, even if Uchiha Feiyu extracted the Devil Fruit from within Sugar, he actually wouldn't be able to find a better host, so it would be better to just take Sugar in as a subordinate.

As for so-called loyalty... Uchiha Feiyu simply served the kneeling Sugar a Heavenly Demon Set Meal, and there would be no need to worry about such problems.
