One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 393 Its danger lies in forgetting, not in killing.

Dressrosa can definitely be called a dangerous place.

Its terrifying aspect lies not in the killing, but in the forgetting.

The user of the Hobby-Hobby Fruit can turn people into toys once they activate their power.

To prevent toy riots, those with special abilities will sign contracts with the toys.

It's called a contract, but it's really just a means of control.

It is a one-sided oppression by those with abilities.

Those who are turned into toys will disappear from the memories of others.

This method of use seems to have been created specifically to accumulate resentment.

It's similar to the fruit of Montord's book.

The greatest wish of those who suffer from this power is the death of the Devil Fruit user.

Doflamingo, of course, understood the horror of hatred.

He is powerful because of hatred and malice.

Therefore, he also knew that the people who were turned into toys would harbor deep resentment towards the ability user.

Therefore, sugar definitely needs to be protected by personnel.

This is also the guarantee of controlling the kingdom.

That's why Doflamingo is so interested in Sugar.

Torrepol was Sugar's bodyguard.

The fact that a top-ranking official would act as a bodyguard for an ordinary official speaks volumes about the value of the sugar.

If the four of them were smart enough, they would realize something was amiss.

If you want to find fault with Doflamingo, you have to start here.

……

"Then it can be basically confirmed that there is another person in the Donquixote Family who has the ability to turn people into toys."

"Doflamingo took this ability to the extreme; if these toys couldn't disobey, they would become free labor."

"Moreover, he can turn those who oppose him into helpless toys without arousing suspicion."

In short, this is a good approach.

So the most direct way to find out Doflamingo's mistakes has emerged.

That is to find the one with the special abilities in the Don Quixote family.

If we find him and remove his powers, then even a bunch of Doflamingos won't be able to rule Dressrosa.

However, you can't expect Doflamingo to be as stupid and brainless as Patch.

Seeing Patch shouting that he was eating, the trio sighed helplessly.

Doflamingo is definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Putting everything else aside, his ability to escape from the crane's clutches multiple times is enough to prove his skill.

The officer himself had also studied under the crane.

The officer frankly admitted that if it really came down to strategy, she would never win against He.

However, even though Tsuru was smarter than her superior, she still couldn't defeat Doflamingo.

Therefore, we cannot underestimate his methods.

To win, you need to put in 120% effort.

Now that they all understand that this unknown ability user is the key to Doflamingo's control, Doflamingo naturally understands even more the importance of his power to him.

Even if he were incredibly carefree, he would still arrange for someone to protect this ability user.

And the protector is naturally quite powerful.

Excluding Doflamingo, his top executives are Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds, and Spades.

The three of them agreed that if it wasn't Doflamingo, then it had to be the person Doflamingo trusted most.

That's the top cadre.

The red heart is dead, so it can be ruled out.

So what's left are diamonds, spades, and clubs.

They had already met Diamanti and the others when they logged in.

Logically speaking, the possibility that Diamanti is the protector of that ability user seems a bit low.

Since it was just a reception, it was unlikely that Doflamingo would send Diamante, who was on a protection mission, to do it.

So what's left are clubs and spades.

“Therefore, we need to keep a close eye on Pica and the people around Torebour. There’s a good chance that the ability user is among them,” Gran concluded.

That's right.

One of these two people should have a guard duty.

And that person with the ability was right next to him.

“With so many of us, it seems we can start investigating, but I’m worried that Doflamingo might get involved, and if someone were to encounter misfortune, we might not even notice immediately,” Raven pointed out the unstable factors.

That's right, it's impossible to defend against the opponent's attack.

According to Roman, there is no such thing as being able to guard against thieves for a thousand days, only being able to steal for a thousand days.

Even if they have concerns, they can't be on edge all the time.

So they need a way, a way to remind themselves.

However, memories may fade, but that doesn't mean the fruit can change everything.

“But it might be dangerous. Even we might not be able to get away. We should tell them these things.” Gran still had some concerns.

Sacrifices are remembered, but those who are forgotten are truly beyond redemption.

They brought many naval soldiers with them this time.

However, in this case, the large number of people involved actually means greater risk.

“This was all voluntary, so how could they not know the risks involved? Backing down now would be an insult to them,” Patch finally managed to interject.

"It's rare that you speak like a human being, so you understood everything we said?" Grant raised an eyebrow.

"More or less," Patch said awkwardly.

I don't believe you.

This is the shared sentiment of the trio.
