'Turned into a toy? What happened? Did this little girl do it? Special Devil Fruit power? No, why is her body so big?'
'I became a toy too?!' Hina looked down at her hands, but only saw puppet-like arms. The Devil Fruit ability she once commanded like an arm, and the Innate Demon Slayer Mark she had just mastered, could no longer be revealed. That extremely weak state made Hina fall into panic.
In the same state as her, there was also little Sadi-chan, who had just been turned into a toy. The two women looked at the little girl in front of them in surprise, wanting to ask her what she had done to them.
"Haha, it was successful." Trebol walked up to the little girl she had turned into, with a smile on his face. "As expected of Sugar, your abilities will never disappoint. Even if they are all Marines, as long as their existence disappears, it will not have any impact on us."
At this time, Sugar had long lost her crying appearance. She looked at the two toys in front of her with disdain in her eyes.
"Asshole, are you in the same group?" Feeling that he had been tricked, Sadi-chan got up angrily and wanted to attack Sugar. "Don't think the Marines will let you go if you do this!"
"Sit down!" With a look from Sugar, Sadi-chan felt her body sit down uncontrollably.
"Haha, it's useless." Trebol laughed loudly. "Sugar has the ability to turn others into toys. People who are turned into toys will not only disappear physically, but also their existence will disappear from the minds of everyone in this world. Even I can't remember who you are. No one remembers your existence now. Will the Marines cause trouble for us? Although I don't know your true identity now, it is impossible for the Marines to cause us any trouble, hahaha!"
'How can this be?' Hina and Sadi-chan lay on the ground, feeling despair in their hearts. 'Is this how all the toys in this country come from? Who are they and why were they turned into toys? No, I have to leave here. No matter what, the peace in this country is only superficial. This matter must be reported to the superiors!'
At this moment, Hina and Sadi-chan made the same decision in their hearts. Just when the two wanted to escape, Sugar's hands pressed on their bodies again.
"Let's make a contract," Sugar said. "Don't harm humans. Then work for the Donquixote Family until death!"
As Sugar finished speaking, Hina and Sadi-chan clearly felt an extra restriction in their bodies. They could no longer escape!
"Haha, it's done." Trebol walked in front with Sugar, laughing playfully. "Then come back to the underground port with us and work hard." The toys that Hina and Sadi-chan had turned into followed them uncontrollably.
On the other side, Ikki, who was walking, suddenly stopped and frowned.
"What's wrong, Ikki?" Tashigi asked, confused. Finally, she had the opportunity to walk alone with Ikki, and Tashigi cherished it very much.
"Tashigi, do you know Hina?" After pondering for a while, Ikki suddenly asked.
"Hina? Who is that?" Tashigi asked. "Is she an acquaintance of yours, Ikki? You won't be with a mature big sister again, will you?" Tashigi pursed her lips and blushed, looking at Ikki with a complaining look on her face.
"Don't you know her?" Ikki raised his hand and stroked his forehead, his expression getting worse and worse.
'The feeling that the memory about Hina just felt like it was being pulled out, is it really the power of the Hobby-Hobby Fruit? How did she provoke that woman Sugar? Is it because of the system that I can still remember Hina?' At this time, Ikki thought of the partnership seal engraved on Hina.
'No matter what, I can't leave her here,' he thought. Although his usual interactions with Hina were mostly noisy, Ikki would not let Hina, who had been his model many times, stay in Dressrosa and wait to be rescued one day just because of this coincidence.
"Sorry Tashigi, I suddenly have something to do. I'll take you back to the Explorer first."
"Eh!!!" Tashigi was stunned, and before she could speak, Ikki picked her up in a princess hug and ran quickly towards the Explorer docked at the coast.
During this period, his powerful and wide-range Observation Haki quickly dispersed in the direction that Hina had left in an attempt to find traces of Hina. Although Hina's body had become a toy, Ikki had the seal of companionship, and he believed that he could feel Hina's presence.
Not long after, Ikki returned to the captain's cabin of the Explorer and put Tashigi down.
"Tashigi, please wait here for everyone. If you're bored, you can go to the gym to exercise for a while. I'll be back soon." Ikki gave Tashigi a big smile and turned around to leave the captain's cabin.
But at this moment, his eyes fell on a drawing board in the captain's cabin. To be precise, it was the portrait on the drawing board.
'Sadi-chan? How could I have painted this woman? This lady's suit with black stockings? Did I imagine her wearing this outfit and then painting it? It shouldn't be!' Ikki touched his chin, feeling a little strange.
Although he knew Sadi-chan from the original One Piece, he shouldn't have painted this woman without contact.
'Could it be that I saw this woman when I was in Impel Down? But why don't I have any impression?' Ikki thought strangely.
"Ikki, are you going to find the woman on the drawing board?" Tashigi saw Ikki looking at the drawing board in a daze and asked.
"Look for her..." Ikki raised an eyebrow. "By the way, Tashigi, did we see this Sadi-chan when we went to Impel Down? She should be the warden of Impel Down."
"So her name is Sadi-chan." Looking at the quite mature woman on the drawing board, a trace of envy flashed in Tashigi's eyes. "Although there were many high-level officials from Impel Down who were entertaining you, Ikki, this woman was not among them."
"Ikki, why do you think she is the warden of Impel Down? When we went to Impel Down, Fleet Admiral Sengoku once explained to us some of Impel Down's leadership structure. It seems that there is no position of warden among them, and this woman does not hold the position of warden, right?"
"Oh, really! So that's it." Ikki replied.
