After seeing the video of Yasuie Shimotsuki being murdered, the villagers of Ebisu Village were not sad, but laughed wildly instead.

Zoro and others present were very angry, and so were most of the spectators.

They really didn't understand and felt that all the rescued residents of Wano Country were ungrateful people.

It was obvious that Shimotsuki Yasuie died to protect them, but they didn't show any sadness at all. The audience couldn't help but feel angry when watching this.

But some people think that there must be other reasons. It is impossible that everyone rescued by Shimotsuki Kangjia is an ungrateful person.

So these people continued watching with doubts, and the images played on the sky screen video later explained the reasons to the audience.

Seeing that everyone around him was laughing and not showing any sadness at all, Zoro finally couldn't help it. He rushed forward and wanted to teach these ungrateful guys a lesson.

At this moment, Kozue Zi, who was following Zoro, immediately stopped him.

"Please wait a moment, please don't hurt them. They are not actually smiling, they are crying.

Everyone in Ebisu Village is always smiling. This is because they have no other expressions except smiling.

No matter how sad and heartbroken they are, they can no longer show it. "

Xiao Zi said this sadly, but unlike the villagers in Ebisu Village, there were sad tears in Xiao Zi's eyes.

When Zoro and others heard her say this, they couldn't help but be shocked.

"You, what are you talking about?"

When Xiao Zi heard this question, she couldn't help herself. She threw herself into Zoro's arms and burst into tears.

"All their other expressions have been taken away. Now they can no longer show any other expressions except smiling.

This is all a conspiracy by Kaido, the King of Beasts, and Kurozumi Orochi, because they brought that fruit, the fruit called Smile.

It’s all because of that fruit that the people of Ebisu Village are in the current situation.”

"Smile? Why does this sound so familiar? Oh, now I remember, it's that artificial devil fruit.

I remember there seemed to be this thing in the destroyed factory.

But wasn't this something that Doflamingo created? How did it get linked to Kaido, the King of Beasts?"

When Zoro heard the familiar word in Kozuki's words, he finally seemed to remember something.

He had once heard of this artificial devil fruit called Smile in a destroyed factory.

And now he heard it again, which surprised him.

At this time, Nami, Usopp and others who were in other places also rushed to the scene.

[Heart Pirates Captain Trafalgar Law: Artificial Devil Fruit? Sure enough, it's something created by Doflamingo again. ]

[Doflamingo: Fufufufu, I didn't expect that even this would be exposed to me. It seems that I really have to hide in a place where you can't find me, otherwise, I'm afraid the navy will never let me go. ]

[Akainu Sakaski: Damn Doflamingo, what on earth have you done? Why did an artificial devil fruit appear? If you know what's best for you, you should surrender to me as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth.]

【Seniorpik: Wait until you can find us.】

[Monster Princess Perona: But then again, according to what Roronoa Zoro said in the video, Doflamingo's smile factory seemed to have been destroyed by the Straw Hat Pirates. If that's the case, the number of smile fruits on Kaido's side should have decreased a lot, right? ]

[Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach: Hahahahaha, I see, I finally know why Kaido hates Straw Hat Boy so much. After all, when he was in Dressrosa, Straw Hat Boy caused Doflamingo to be captured by the navy. Without Doflamingo, the Smile Fruit can no longer be produced. This is really bad news for Kaido, who relies on the Smile Fruit to produce the Beasts Army.]

[Devil Sheriff Lafayette: No wonder Kaido, the Beast King, wants the Straw Hat Pirates to die. It turns out there is this kind of grudge between them. ]

[Captain Speedkill of the 14th Division of the Whitebeard Pirates: Is it because Ace's brother accidentally ruined Kaido's plan that Kaido is so cruel to Straw Hat Boy? 】

[Captain of the 16th Division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Izo: Now I finally know the reason, but this is just an unprovoked disaster for Straw Hat Boy. ]

[Charlotte Brulee: An unexpected disaster? That's not necessarily true. With Straw Hat's arrogant personality, he will face Kaido sooner or later. Now it's just bringing the process forward. I think he's very happy about it.]

[Charlotte Brin: That being said, I think the Straw Hat Boy right now is no match for Kaido, right? If it is really as what is said in the video, then the Straw Hat Boy in the video should be in danger, right? ]

On the dome, the audience couldn't help but exclaim when they heard that Smile was actually an artificial devil fruit.

Among them, there are also viewers who are attracted by artificial devil fruits.

[Pirate 1: I said, you guys are still in the mood to worry about the Straw Hat Boy at this time, aren't you more curious about that smile now? ]

[Pirate 2: That's right, you know, this is an artificial devil fruit. If we can get it, we can also become a special ability user. ]

[One Piece 3: No wonder Doflamingo was able to find the Flame-Flame Fruit after the death of Ace the Fire Fist. Do you think that the Flame-Flame Fruit is also an artificial devil fruit? ]

[One Piece 4: That shouldn't be possible. Looking at the fruits he can replicate, they all seem to be animal-based. In other words, if it's not an animal-based devil fruit, it shouldn't be artificial, right?]

On the skylight, many people who were attracted by the artificial devil fruit smile were making requests.

They hope that they can obtain an artificial devil fruit that can turn themselves into people with special abilities.

Of course, Kaido the King of Beasts would not pay any attention to such a request.

He is very angry now, after all, the sky screen video has exposed his entire background.

Therefore, Kaido the Beast no longer retreats, but instead lets others help him come out.

While he was doing this, the video on the sky screen continued to play.

"What on earth is going on? What on earth happened?"

When several members of the Straw Hat Pirates arrived at the scene, they were shocked like Zoro when they saw what was happening before their eyes.

"He is obviously Tono Yasushi. The villagers of Ebisu Village have clearly told me before that they all admire Tono Yasushi very much.

Why on earth is this happening now? Why are you guys laughing? You should be crying. "

Nami looked at the smiling residents of Ebisu Village in front of her and finally couldn't help but shout out.

Luffy looked at everything in front of him, but contrary to his usual behavior, he did not act impulsively. Instead, he analyzed the situation very calmly.

"This uncle shouldn't be laughed at by others after his death. I think he must have some special reason."

Just after Luffy finished saying this, the crying female ninja Shinobu started speaking.

"I have never told you about this. In fact, I should have told you a long time ago, otherwise this might not have happened.

The villagers of Ebisu Village that you see actually live their lives wearing masks every day.

The smile on their faces is their mask, something that they cannot take off no matter how hard they try in this life.

Many years ago, in order to better control this country, Kaido, the King of Beasts, and Kurozumi Orochi directly exchanged the weapons produced by this country.

And what those weapons were exchanged for was the Smile artificial devil fruit.

But once someone eats this devil fruit, he or she will be cursed by the sea and will never be able to get close to the sea in this life.

Otherwise, he would definitely be killed by the sea.

However, although eating this devil fruit will cause the person to lose the ability to swim, he or she will gain magical powers.

It enables one to gain the energy of animals, enabling one to better fight against Kaido, the King of Beasts.

So even if someone uses the smile devil fruit, he will become more brutal, but Kaido the Beast doesn't care about that.

Instead, he purchased a large number of smile devil fruits, wanting to build a Hundred Beasts Army for himself."
