Chapter 166: Territory Battle Day 10 (Two-in-One, Nutrient Solution 57...
Day 10 of the Turf War:
There were over 100,000 people turned into toys in Dressrosa.
When Doflamingo invaded the Dressrosa Palace, the kingdom soldiers who knew the truth about his invasion, the people of Dressrosa, the navy who came to investigate, the pirates who came here to participate in the arena and lost... all of them were victims.
Not only the factory where artificial devil fruits were made, but also the toy soldiers working at the dock outside carrying goods, the toys on the street, the toy soldiers who were punished for acting without permission and thrown into the garbage dump, etc., all gained freedom at this moment and changed back.
At the same time, those who had forgotten their relatives and friends also regained their memories. For a time, Dressrosa fell into great chaos.
Some of the family members cried with joy, because their family and children had forgotten them, and they had always stayed by their side, finally waiting for the whole family to be reunited.
Some people also begin to get tangled and struggled - because they forgot their lover and found a new lover, now they have a difficult choice;
Some people began to rage—because they were not originally from Dressrosa, and had just come to this island to encounter this situation, they began to wave flags and demand revenge on Doflamingo;
Others... began to greet their real king with tears in their eyes - they were the ones who had been dealt with in the previous palace coup, and they knew that the old king was trying to protect them, and they also knew that Doflamingo was the real devil who controlled everything.
At this moment, no matter how brilliant the flowers are, they cannot cover up the blood and tears, and the sun finally shines into the unknown shadow land of Dressrosa.
And the creator of all this...
"It's Wendy Carter! It's the Five Emperors who saved us!"
"Who is Wendy Carter? Aren't there only four emperors? How did it become five emperors?"
"You've been locked up for too long, haven't you? You don't even know this."
"Mr. Player! Mr. Player!"
"Ohhhh! Thank you so much, Wendy Carter! You are my benefactor! I will definitely repay you!"
"But how come you're not affected? How come you still remember all this?"
When this last question was asked, everyone looked at Wendy in unison, their eyes filled with pure curiosity.
Even though there were some extremely evil pirates who could incinerate, after being unable to move on their own and being enslaved while awake for such a long time, they only felt despair and hopelessness. At this time, he also had a very pure gratitude towards Wendy, and at this time it was just a simple question.
Luo looked at Wendy, still a little worried, hesitating whether to stop her from saying anything - he knew that Wendy had always had her own special qualities. Although this group of people were simply grateful for it now, what if this specialness became known and aroused their greed...
"Because I'm a player, I won't be affected." Wendy said solemnly, "I won't forget anything in this world!"
She just can't remember it occasionally, but her memory will never be deleted!
As she said this, she raised her chin, holding a clown cane in her hand, and wearing a triumphal suit and a shadow dress, she exuded a sense of mystery. Standing under the light that came in (light leaked from the hole that Wendy had just blown up), she looked sacred.
A group of people listened, and were shocked. At this moment, they shouted in unison, "Mr. Player—!"
Some of them even knelt down and cried exaggeratedly, as if they had seen a god.
Trebol was completely dumbfounded. When the toy turned back into a human, he knew that something was wrong. He quickly called Doflamingo to report. However, before he could say a few words, the recovered humans also discovered him. After the ecstasy, reason and anger returned together, and they began to swarm to attack Trebol.
Torrepol also understood that the situation was not good and wanted to remedy it quickly. He grabbed his cane and started attacking the people around him: "Forget it... Don't even think about leaving here!"
There's still time to fix it! Just save Sucrose and let it transform them back...
Law immediately drew his knife and slashed at the unconscious Satoshi. His surgery fruit ability allowed him to cut into the human body without drawing blood or causing death. He directly cut off Satoshi's heart and held it in his hand.
"... Luo! You guy!" Torrepol saw what he did and suddenly became furious. He shot mucus at an extremely fast speed... but did not hit him.
A massive fireball suddenly struck the factory's outer wall. Torrebol's slime was highly flammable, exploding upon contact with flames. Unable to dodge, he was engulfed in the flames, letting out a horrific howl.
And the person emerging from the flames...
"Wendy! Luo! Are you okay?" Ace landed and stopped, shouting at them.
There were several people who looked only the size of a palm lying on his shoulders, shouting "hot, hot, hot".
"I originally wanted me to handle it, but I didn't expect you, Wendy, to take action directly..."
"Well, because I found that you all forgot about Luo, so I came to find Luo."
"Wendy, you actually still remember it? You're incredible... I just remembered it too!"
The little people lying on Ace finally put out the fire and began to come down and surround Wendy to look at her: "Are you Ace's mother? You made everyone recover?"
"Yeah." Wendy nodded, and said confidently, "I fixed the bug."
Ace smiled at him, then turned around and put away his smile to deal with Torrepol, who had not yet completely fallen.
Luo also came up at this time with the heart in his hand: "This is the devil fruit ability of this Donquixote family cadre. As long as she is unconscious, the ability will be released. Just in case, I took her heart first to prevent her from causing trouble again after she wakes up."
"Ah, this one's fine too, right?" Wendy said, pulling out a pair of seastone handcuffs and putting them on Sucrose. She was quite excited. "We're short on people, so why not take her too? She can transform into so many toys, maybe she's a mutant little scare!"
"Ms. Wendy!" Law shouted helplessly, "She has always been loyal to Doflamingo and is his companion. I'm afraid she won't work for you."
And since Sucrose's abilities were so strong, he was really worried about her causing trouble once she got aboard. Although Miss Wendy wasn't affected...
"It's okay. Stay with me for a while and you'll know how to work." Wendy said something remarkable calmly.
Luo stopped trying.
Uh, why not just let her hold Sugar's heart? That way, he's still under control. But why would Miss Wendy need a toy... No! Wasn't it okay for her to just hold the seastone handcuffs? Did she put them in her backpack?
Luo watched Wendy put up a wooden sign over there, then took out a teleportation wand, dragged Sugar aside, and sent her away in a flash of lightning. About a minute later, she came back and looked at them: "Alright."
Luo silently handed over the heart in his hand. "This is Sugar's heart. She's too weak to move without it now... I'll find someone else's heart and give it to her. You can use this heart to command her."
"Oh!" Wendy took the heart, still a little curious - she had handled many beating hearts (her own tell-tale heart), but this square three-dimensional heart was the first time she had seen it, like some kind of new skin.
While Wendy was curiously playing with the heart, Law also went to Ace's side and took away the heart of the fallen Trebol. Then he whispered to Ace: "Hey, Fire Fist Master, is Miss Wendy a devil fruit user?"
Ace thought for a moment and whispered back, "I don't know either. But she really likes collecting things related to seastone."
So... is Miss Wendy likely a special race? Is this the hidden reason behind her declaration of war against the World Government? — Law couldn't help but glance at Wendy.
Wendy has already sent those who said they wanted to repay her to help her pick up the junk from the factory - she wants to take it all home.
These people were very obedient because helping to pick up trash was such an easy task. Some of them were even so enthusiastic that they forcibly dismantled things from the factory and gave them to Wendy, and they enjoyed carrying them around.
Of course, the story doesn't end there.
"Mr. Player, thank you for saving us. We plan to go and settle the score with Doflamingo next. However, if you need us later, you can always send us!"
The rescued people reported their names and the name of their pirate group, expressed their gratitude solemnly, and then left.
Wendy just nodded, sighing inwardly—so many lives saved, and the cutscenes are so long… They only needed to send a representative to offer a token thank you, and then skip the rest! This world is just too focused on realism sometimes!
While Wendy was being thanked one after another, Law, Ace, and the members of the Dwarf Tribe who had followed him talked and finally understood what had happened on Ace's side.
On the side of the Dwarf Tribe, because the Dwarf Princess was captured and imprisoned by Doflamingo, they were forced to obey the other side's orders for the princess.
But they also wanted to take the princess back, and their leader was a man named Cyrus.
Ace summarized the story: "Basically, Cyrus was a hero from this country. He secretly married the princess and had a daughter named Rebecca. The princess died in the coup. Rebecca has been fighting hard in the arena, while Cyrus was turned into a soldier... However, he wasn't contracted, so he can move freely and unite with the dwarfs... Everyone was supposed to deal with Sucrose together, but Wendy did it instead."
Ace turned his head and looked over as he spoke - on Wendy's side, the gratitude had already reached the last wave. The little people who had been pestering him before were now surrounding Wendy, tears of gratitude in their eyes, and the two sides were still talking over there.
"Wow, wow, wow—thank you so much! Player Lando… Player Lando, what are you doing?"
Wendy, who had caught the little man and tried to stuff him into her backpack without success, looked regretful and said, "Nothing."
Alas... She thought it was a friendly talking fruit fly, and thought that wild fruit flies did exist... but she didn't expect it was not.
Wendy asked, "Can you farm?"
One of the Dwarfs nodded: "Sure! We're good at planting!"
Another one also puffed out his chest proudly: "Don't look at us because we are short, we are very strong and move very fast!"
Wendy's eyes lit up: "Oh, oh, can you come to my house?"
The dwarfs were also very happy: "Are you inviting us to your home, Player Lando? We are honored! But we have to wait until we find our princess!"
Wendy raised her hands, looking happier than them. "Sure! You can come with your princess!"
For a moment, Wendy and the other dwarfs were having so much fun that they were almost spinning in circles hand in hand.
Ace looked over and laughed: "Haha, it looks like Wendy has found a new farming friend."
Luo couldn't help but interrupt: "Now is not the time to be happy, Fire Fist! We still have a lot of things to do! What about Sabo?"
***
On the other side, Sabo and Robin had already contacted Violet and learned the whole story from her.
Violet was a little confused when they first came to her. After all, she asked Aokiji for help. What was going on when a revolutionary army member and a pirate came? Could it be that Aokiji was actually an undercover agent of the Eternal Continent Pirates? Then, after their explanation, she understood.
Because she has the Stare-Stare Fruit that allows her to see through people's inner thoughts, Violet was skeptical at first. However, after Sabo and Robin both let her see into their hearts, she completely trusted them and told them everything.
The three of them had originally planned to meet up with Ace and deal with the factory together, but they didn't expect the situation to change before they even arrived.
Just as Violet was recalling her brother-in-law Cyrus and feeling guilty for forgetting him, and Sabo and Robin were marveling at how quick Ace was, Ace called and told them about the situation at the factory.
"I didn't expect Mom to come..." Sabo was a little surprised, but he quickly accepted the fact and smiled, his tone still a little helpless. "But it's true, if Mom is willing to do it, then everything will go quickly..."
"I didn't expect Wendy to still remember... Well, that's certainly her style." Robin smiled and looked at Violet, who was calming down over there. "Princess Viola, now that Doflamingo's plot is known to everyone, let's head to the palace and liberate this country."
"Yeah!" Violet wiped the tears from her face and nodded heavily.
The three of them rushed to the palace and met up with Cyrus, who had returned to his human form. However, they didn't spend much time chatting and headed straight for the palace.
Sabo also reported his situation to Ace and asked curiously, "Mom, is she here to save Luo? Is she going back now?"
He knew that Wendy had no intention of getting involved in Dressrosa's affairs at first.
[Yes! Mom and the Dwarfs have agreed to rescue the Dwarf princess!]
Sabo was stunned: "Huh? Mom? Why?"
[She made an agreement with the Dwarfs: if she rescued the princess, they would come to our house to help with farming.]
Sabo: “…” His mother really never forgets her original intention.
I just don't know if the little people know that this guest is actually using them as labor...
As they rushed to the palace, the ground suddenly began to shake and something strange happened - the land beneath the palace began to gradually pile up and squeeze, the entire palace began to rise, and thin lines began to appear above the palace, gradually spreading downwards, surrounding Dressrosa like a birdcage, and began to shrink gradually, like a sharp blade, cutting through the land and buildings, everything.
Ace and Luo, who were also rushing to the palace, also noticed something. Luo stopped and looked up, his pupils shrinking suddenly, and his memory seemed to return to that night.
"It's a birdcage..."
"What is that?" Ace asked from the side.
"It's... Doflamingo's trick." Law's expression became serious.
At the same time, the broadcasts throughout the country began to sound, and Doflamingo's voice was heard. At the same time, the screens were opened, revealing his face.
[Good afternoon, citizens of Dressrosa, and all guests...] Doflamingo, holding the megaphone, smiled. [Now that you know the truth, do you really want to kill me?]
"But it doesn't matter. Once you become a corpse, you won't have such thoughts." His smile gradually widened. "This birdcage I've created will gradually shrink. Inside, you will be unable to escape or contact anyone. Your home, family, friends... and even you will all be cut into pieces by this birdcage."
Hearing his words, there was a commotion across the country. Curses, panic, and prayers were heard.
"But I'll give you a chance... Kill me, and you'll be rescued. I'll be waiting for you in the palace." Doflamingo spoke slowly, pausing. When he spoke again, his voice was filled with veiled malice. "Or... kill Wendy Carter's supporters and bring her to me. I'll pay a generous reward for each supporter killed. For anyone who captures Wendy Carter, I'll offer the same bounty as the Navy—four billion!"
As he spoke, he released the bounties on Ace, Sabo, Law, Robin... and the former royals of Dressrosa. None of them were less than 100 million, and the eyes of the pirates and bounty hunters on the island instantly lit up.
After hearing the last part, his eyes could almost glow in the darkness.
"Of course, there's another option... That's for you to come to my side, Wendy. Since you've saved so many people in Dressrosa, you're willing to make this sacrifice for them, right?"
[Come on! It's your turn to choose! No matter which one you choose, as long as you reach the ending, the game will end! ]
[Similarly, you have to make a choice, Wendy! Don't worry, you can't escape this time!]
...What's all this gibberish? I'm not interested in this dungeon. I'm leaving. — Wendy frowned as she erected a new wooden sign on the spot, touched it to teleport, and was surprised to find it was ineffective.
At the same time, a group of people gradually gathered around her, including bounty hunters, pirates, and ordinary residents.
The bounty hunters wanted to capture Wendy in exchange for a huge reward, while the ordinary residents came forward to pray for her because they had heard of Wendy and learned that she had saved the people of Dressrosa.
But before the pirates could get close, they were pushed back by a pillar of fire: "Yang Yan!"
Ace came over, settled down, and stood in front of Wendy. There was no smile on his face, and his expression was tense. Looking at the people who had not yet dispersed, his tone became dangerous: "What do you mean... Wendy saved you when you were turned into toys. Is this how you repay her?"
"I'm sorry, Firefist. We're grateful, but this is our job."
"That's four billion, after all! Let's put it this way!"
Of course, there were also people who still remembered Wendy's kindness and started beating up this group of people. Most of them came out of the factory and watched Wendy perform a divine act to save people.
"You should be turned into toys forever!"
"Asshole! Even pirates should be kind and righteous!"
"I'm a bounty hunter!"
"That can't be without benevolence and righteousness!"
"She didn't save me either!"
"Then I will teach you a lesson of righteousness!"
There are also different voices among the people.
Someone bravely shouted, "But if we don't do this, our country will become a mess... We are just letting Wendy Carter meet Doflamingo, and we are not going to kill her!"
Someone nearby immediately punched him: "It's good enough that your savior saved you once, but you want her to save you again and even sacrifice a little girl. How could you come up with that!"
"I didn't turn into a toy, and she didn't save me!"
"She saved me! Why can't we just march into the palace and kill Doflamingo!"
"Look up at this birdcage! He's so strong, how can we kill him?"
"Wendy Carter...isn't she the emperor of the sea? She must be able to do it, right?"
"Yeah, can we ask her to save us?"
"Isn't she very strong? And she has a grudge against Doflamingo, right?"
The voices were chaotic, and Ace couldn't help but frown, feeling a sense of suffocation in his heart - if he encountered such a thing himself, even if he was misunderstood, morally kidnapped, or repaid with evil, he would not be very angry... But if it was his relatives who encountered it, it would not be the same.
"Shut up, all of you!" He roared, as if he wanted to shout out all the frustration in his heart.
As this invisible domineering aura spread out, some of the people surrounding it seemed to be exhausted and fell unconscious.
Some pirates who had seen this move couldn't help but show shocked expressions - it was actually Conqueror's Haki... Wendy Carter's son actually had such qualifications... Is this the power of the Five Emperors?
Ace really wanted to rush over and drive them all away, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and held back. He turned his head to look at Wendy, who was standing beside the wooden sign, deep in thought. He walked over, knelt on one knee, looked up at her, and said seriously, "Mom, you give the orders. I will obey you."
Wendy, who was originally immersed in her own thoughts, came back to her senses and looked at him.
In fact, she didn't listen to what this noisy group of people were saying at all - with this kind of modeling and this scale, they must be unimportant passers-by NPCs, and there was no need to listen to the conversation.
She was only thinking about one question now - she didn't expect the wooden sign to be ineffective. Was it because of the birdcage?
"Well... you just be good too." Seeing Ace pursing his lips and looking unhappy, Wendy raised her hand to rub his head, then looked at the messy group of people - those standing were not ordinary people, most of them were pirates and bounty hunters with certain strength.
"Hmm... since it's about this birdcage, then I can go home after I get out, right?" Wendy muttered to herself, tilting her head as she made a decision. "Ace, you stand aside. I'll clear the area. Then we'll go to the palace and fight Dover."
The wooden sign is useless now, so I'll replace it with a one-hit kill mod. I still have the powerful Abigail mod, which can also give Abigail a bonus to her attack coefficient when she attacks at the same time.
"I need you now, Abigail." Wendy said, and adjusted Abigail into anger mode. The white ghost turned into a man with slanted eyes and went up aggressively, launching a group attack on a large group of people.
Wendy looked at the enemy who was approaching her despite Abigail's attack. She did not pick up the walking stick that had just been blown away by the domineering aura. Under Ace's somewhat nervous gaze, she raised her hand and blew gently on it, causing some petals to fall and disappear after landing on the ground.
At the same time, those who attacked her lost consciousness one by one and fell to the ground unconscious.
