【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

Violet ignored Bartolomeo and tried to stop Rebecca's dangerous thoughts. "Rebecca, you are also a prisoner now. If you go to town, the others won't let you off either!"

“Then let’s go up from the roof!” Leo suggested, hearing Violet’s concern. “That way we can avoid the pursuers below. Mr. Kabu and I will be coming with us, so don’t worry.”

"On the roof?" Violet looked at Leo in confusion.

“That’s right,” Leo replied, then turned to Inhair, “Inhair, the factory is in your hands now, is that alright?”

"No problem, the factory is currently under weak defenses. We'll work with Flalando to rescue Princess Mansherry and the rest of our companions!"

"Then we'll meet again! We can't wait any longer, let's meet again here on the King's Heights!" After saying goodbye to Leo, Inhail led the remaining members of the Tontatta tribe on insects and flew towards the factory.

"How are you going to get across?" Qi asked, looking at the giant stone figure in front of him.

“This!” Leo pointed to the rhinoceros beetle flying overhead.

"What!?" Rebecca and Bartolomeo stared in shock at the rhinoceros beetle that had stopped in front of them. "Are you kidding me?!"

“How could a rhinoceros beetle carry a person?” Rebecca said incredulously.

Qi glanced at the rhinoceros beetle on the ground and twitched his lips, feeling that something was amiss. He then looked at Rebecca and asked, "Are you sure you want to go? Doflamingo's subordinates are probably all guarding the palace area. It'll be very dangerous."

“Yes! No problem!” Rebecca said firmly.

"Then I'll help. It's pretty boring staying here." Qi grinned, then looked at Robin. "Robin, these guys are yours."

Robin chuckled and said, "Don't worry."

"What about me!?" Bartolomeo stared in shock at Qi, who was carrying Rebecca and flying into the sky. "Qi-senpai! What about me!? I want to go too!!"

"There's a rhinoceros beetle there." Qi stopped in mid-air and grinned at the rhinoceros beetle in Bartomio's hand. "Come on, I want to see if the rhinoceros beetle can carry people."

"How could this be!" Bartolomeo exclaimed in disbelief.

"Strange is still so interesting," Robin said with a smile as she watched the scene.

"Is that funny?" Usopp looked at Robin incredulously. "Isn't this just Kin-chan's perverse sense of humor all along?"

......

In front of the SIMLE factory

"Alright, we're finally here!" Franky looked excitedly at the factory ahead. He had searched most of town to find this factory that had suddenly been moved. This time, he was determined to smash the factory gates open! "Ion Light..."

"With your attacks, you can't hurt the factory in the slightest!! So I'll settle this with you!" Señor swam up behind Franky, grabbed him around the waist and threw him to the ground.

"There are still enemies!" Franky stood up in disbelief. His attack had been completely wasted by this bastard's over-the-shoulder throw.

"That's what a man is like, kid!"

"Flarando! We have a way to open the factory door!"

Franky immediately looked up at the roof and exclaimed in surprise at the little people above, "Is it true? Tontatta folks!"

"Please take care of Señor!"

"Okay, leave it to me, no problem..." Before Franky could finish speaking, he was once again tackled from behind by this bastard who could swim underground. Franky shouted angrily, "You little brat, swimming around like that is so annoying!!"

Inside the SMIE factory

"Quickly lift the SAD jar!"

"Don't you want to cure Princess Mansherry's illness anymore?"

"What was that huge earthquake? Are the people of Dressrosa alright? How are things at Greenbit?" a troll asked worriedly.

"Huh!? Shut up and get to work!"

"Huh? What's that?" The little people working in the factory suddenly noticed the words appearing on the glass. They instantly understood what it was—it was their companion! Why did they say they'd been tricked? Was it about the princess's illness? Did Doflamingo lie to us? Although they didn't understand the reason, their companion would never lie!

The little people working in the factory had only this thought in their minds. After realizing it, they all instantly began to resist and fight against every Overseer. At the same time, in order to prevent the Overseers in the factory from contacting Doflamingo, the little people released all the Den Den Mushi in the factory.

After opening the room where the princess was being treated, the dwarves realized they had been completely deceived by Doflamingo. The princess wasn't in that room at all; it was just an ordinary warehouse.

Upon discovering this fact, the dwarves became even more enraged and resolutely charged towards the gate. Just as they unlocked the gate and were about to open it completely, the factory's most ruthless female factory manager blocked their way.

Just when the little people were helpless against the factory manager's powerful vacuum cleaner, the factory gate was suddenly opened from the outside!

“You did a great job!”

"Huh!?" The little people stared in shock at the giant toy that pushed open the door, then cried out in delight, "Wow! It's a toy robot! A powerful robot has come to save us!!"

"Is everyone okay?"

"Inhail! Bamba!!"

“This person is a large man, our helper Flalando!” Inhail introduced.

"He's human!?" The dwarves in the factory were all shocked. Then, after the female factory manager's threatening words, they instantly understood their current situation. When they saw Flalando hugging the burly female factory manager, they were shocked again and shouted, "Flalando hugged the female factory manager!? Does Flalando like the female factory manager!?"

"That Iron Man dared to lie to me! There wasn't any old lady who needed help at all!!" Señor was furious at the thought of how the Iron Man had deceived him. Seeing the Iron Man hugging the female factory manager and charging towards him from behind, he yelled, "Die! Cat Ear Flying Fist!!"

"What are you trying to do?! Let go!" the female factory manager shouted in panic.

"I've been falling off the bridge ever since it started! Is that guy trying to dig a hot spring with the back of my head?!" Franky angrily picked up the burly female factory manager and slammed her backward. "Franky Southern Bridge Fall!!"

“Ouch!!”

The dwarves stared in shock as the Factory Manager and Señor's heads collided. The sharp crack gave them a headache too, but what shocked them even more was that Flalando had grabbed the female Factory Manager by the collar and kissed her! And the brutish Factory Manager had somehow become somewhat feminine...

Hearing the female factory manager's coy demand that Franky take responsibility, Señor spoke up, "Don't blame the factory manager, it's your own fault. What can shut up a woman who interrupts a duel between men..."

"What are you talking about love and romance to me, a little girl who's easily swayed by a kiss or two..." Franky combed his hair back.

“Dating a young girl…” Señor echoed.

"It makes me feel disgusted and nauseous!"

"Oh my! Those two are so tough!!" The women around them covered their faces and exclaimed in admiration.

"It's about to begin, a battle of men!!" The little people watched excitedly as Flalando and Senor faced off.

"Diaper bomb!!"
