In the hidden underground secret base, Franky, Robin, and Usopp sat together, their gazes fixed on the Toy Soldier in front of them.
The Toy Soldier, holding a small pointer, was gesturing at a detailed battle plan on a board, explaining it with great enthusiasm.
"I've named this plan the 'Dressrosa SOP Operation'," the Toy Soldier said with a booming voice.
Although the Tontatta Tribe nearby didn't quite understand the meaning of the name, they cooperatively let out gasps of amazement, filled with anticipation and nervousness for the operation.
Franky, however, frowned, staring at the operation name on the blackboard with a puzzled expression, and couldn't help but ask,
"SOP? What exactly does that mean?"
The Toy Soldier patiently began to explain,
"In the country of Dressrosa, there is a vast Underworld that is little known to outsiders.
To secretly conduct various transactions there, a trading post and a mysterious factory have been specially set up.
Those unfortunate Tontatta Tribe people who were captured, and those who were turned into toys, are forced to toil there day and night.
We spent a whole year, and finally managed to open an underground passage, planning to secretly infiltrate through this passage and rescue all of them.
Then, we will seize this opportunity to destroy the facilities, completely defeat the Donquixote Family, and return the country to King Riku."
The Toy Soldier explained patiently, even becoming a bit emotional in the last sentence.
But Franky still seemed bothered by the operation name and pressed further,
"If that's the case, then the SOP in this operation name must have a profound meaning, right?"
Robin looked at Franky, who didn't understand the gravity of the situation, with an expressionless face.
"Franky, please be quiet."
Usopp frowned, a hint of hesitation in his eyes, staring intently at the Toy Soldier in front of him, and couldn't help but retort:
"You make it sound easy, but those guys are not to be trifled with, they won't be defeated so easily."
The Toy Soldier's expression also became exceptionally solemn, and he slowly said,
"Indeed, this plan is, to some extent, quite idealistic.
But then again, no one in this world can foresee what Dressrosa will become in a few tens of minutes.
However, we first need to complete a primary mission that must be accomplished no matter what."
At this point, the Toy Soldier paused slightly, his tone becoming serious:
"That is, we must make the culprit who turned us into toys, Doflamingo's subordinate, the one with the Hobi Hobi no Mi ability, lose consciousness."
Upon hearing this, Usopp immediately let out a surprised cry: "Hobi Hobi no Mi?"
The Toy Soldier nodded and continued,
"As long as that ability user loses consciousness at that critical moment, everyone who was turned into a toy will revert to flesh and blood.
Moreover, at the same time, all residents in the country will also regain their erased memories. However, when that moment truly arrives, we cannot predict what kind of situation will occur."
The Toy Soldier's voice carried worry as he slowly said: "How many people will be willing to fight alongside us?
What will the citizens think, and what actions will they take?
How will Doflamingo respond?
What actions will the Marine take?
The only thing we can foresee now is that the future of this country will definitely fall into complete panic and chaos."
Usopp's heart fluttered with fear, his voice becoming somewhat stammering as he whispered to Robin and Law,
"At the banquet, we didn't even hear of this person. Is this Doflamingo's secret trump card?
I also heard that the high-ranking Cadres didn't attend the banquet. Is this Hobi Hobi no Mi user a high-ranking Cadre?"
Saying this, he looked nervously at the Toy Soldier.
"Where is that Hobi Hobi no Mi user now? That guy must be very strong, right?" Usopp asked eagerly.
The Toy Soldier lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then replied: "According to the intelligence provided by the Tontatta reconnaissance unit, she is currently at the underground trading post."
At this point, the Toy Soldier's tone carried resentment, and the Tontatta Tribe members nearby also couldn't help but grit their teeth.
"Sugar, the Special Cadre of the Donquixote Family's Trebol Army!
A young girl who can turn anyone she touches into a toy!
Although she looks very young, it is said that her body stopped growing the moment she ate the Devil Fruit.
The Donquixote Family considers her their most important strategic personnel.
They even arranged for the family's highest Executive, Trebol, to be her personal bodyguard."
Robin's voice was slightly hurried as she quickly asked,
"So, if that child loses consciousness, the toys will return to their original state?"
After hearing the name "Sugar," Usopp rested a hand on his chin and fell into thought, muttering to himself,
"Sugar… Sugar… I seem to have seen it somewhere, but where was it…"
The Toy Soldier, however, solemnly clenched his fists, saying with a firm tone,
"That's right! If we can scare Sugar into fainting!
Then the following situations will be achieved:
Sugar 'S',
Oh, a surprise 'O',
Pass out from fear 'P'
Taking the first letter of these three situations, we get the SOP Operation Plan!"
As the Toy Soldier said this, his emotions grew even more fervent, and he became completely invigorated, as if he had already seen the successful outcome of the operation.
Robin, however, was speechless, sweat almost dripping from her forehead, thinking to herself: This is too reckless! (;¬＿¬)
Franky, on the other hand, was completely different; he was stirred with excitement, shouting enthusiastically: "Oh!!! This operation name is truly amazing!"
And Usopp, still immersed in his own thoughts, was racking his brain trying to remember where he had seen the name Sugar.
"Sugar… Sugar… Operation Plan! I remember!" Usopp suddenly brightened, shouting excitedly, his agitated demeanor as if he had grasped a crucial clue, instantly attracting everyone's gaze towards him.
Seeing everyone look at him, Usopp sat down on the ground and quickly began rummaging through his bag, which was filled with various items.
He frantically searched through the bag, fumbling for quite a while.
Finally, he pulled out a manual from the very bottom, and on the cover of the booklet was clearly written:
"100 Ways to Play with Sugar"... by Usopp.
Upon seeing the title on the booklet, everyone's gaze towards Usopp instantly became even stranger.
With an expression that said, "So this is the kind of Usopp you are."
