One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 399 Let's solve it together as well.

It sounds like a bizarre yet romantic story.

After hearing the story of the man who claimed to be Cyrus's doll, Slye made the following assessment.

Unexpectedly, the person in front of him was the son-in-law of the Riku clan.

No, it shouldn't be considered as such.

Putting aside the issue of Princess Scarlett's death, she had already given up everything before she "died."

Therefore, the current first in line to the throne should be Princess Violet.

"So you mean Princess Violet and King Riku are both still alive."

"Yes, Princess Violet was valued by Doflamingo because of the power of the Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit, and was therefore required to serve under him. Although the princess was unwilling, she had no choice but to submit to Doflamingo in order to protect King Riku's life."

"The Staring-Staring Fruit?"

The name of this fruit doesn't sound very good.

"Could this fruit's ability be to see what other people are thinking?"

"exactly."

Sure enough.

That's not good news.

Although he had already suspected that Doflamingo had such an ability user among his subordinates, he still felt very conflicted after receiving a positive answer from Detox.

Since Violet, also known as Violet, has this ability, then Franky must not just treat her as a decorative object; at the very least, he would treat her as a usable card.

Then it's likely that Violet has already been keeping them under control.

And Violet will probably report everything they're thinking to Doflamingo.

After all, Doflamingo knows Violet's weakness.

Since she yielded to her father back then, she naturally wouldn't take any risks now.

Of course, Sly didn't think there was anything wrong with giving in.

If Violet had insisted on confronting Doflamingo head-on, it would have only resulted in her and her father dying together, which would have been utterly pointless.

It's better to focus on surviving first; opportunities will come eventually.

Suddenly, the rule flashed through Sly's mind.

Rule Six: Beautiful roses have thorns. Beware of beautiful women who can dance; she can see through everything about you. If you cannot gain her trust, she will imprison you.

Then, he thought of the dance troupe that had been dancing next to their group.

Ah!

It turned out to be the case.

The princess had already been sent over.

The princess saw through their intentions.

But Violet wouldn't take that risk.

Even if she knew that they were there to overthrow Doflamingo, she wouldn't just impulsively join them.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be alive today.

Her best option would be to conceal part of the truth, report part of the truth, or even fabricate part of the truth, thus working on both sides and offending neither.

However, this is on the premise that Violet has enough ideas.

But to get her to completely side with him and betray Doflamingo, more is needed.

"How much do you know about Violet, no, about Violet? Do you think she's a smart or decisive person? Has she resigned herself to serving under Doflamingo for the rest of her life?"

Thinking about it like that is useless. Since Sly is someone who knows that woman better, he naturally has to ask.

“Princess Violet is a true princess. She is kind, wise, and decisive. She will not truly submit to Doflamingo for the rest of her life.”

"Really? Since you've said so, I have no choice but to believe you."

It's a pity that once it becomes a toy, everyone will forget about it.

Violet probably forgot about Cyrus.

Therefore, it would be impossible for Cyrus to persuade Violet to join them.

It would be even better if we could destroy Doflamingo's "eyes".

Now that we've confirmed the princess's usefulness and that we can win her over, and we've also figured out the cause of the matter, it's time to find the person with the ability to change the country.

"So, according to you, that ability user is Sugar who ate the Hobby-Hobby Fruit, and she can turn people into toys and even make contracts with them."

"Secondly, because the timing of turning you into a toy was too rushed, she did not make any agreement with you, so you are free to move around."

"Yes, but my body, now made of iron, prevents me from using my full strength, so I can't hit them." Cyrus seemed to recall the past, and his fists began to clench.

Now that we have a clear understanding, the most urgent task is to deal with the sugar.

"Do you really believe me completely?" Cyrus was a little stunned to see that the other party seemed to have complete faith in his words.

So you're lying?

"No, what I said is true."

"That'll do."

"This……"

"I trust the officer, not you," Sly thought to himself.

The officer had already given them the message, and what the soldier said was credible.

She truly lives up to her reputation.

They probably already know everything about this country.

"Are you mentally prepared? Doflamingo is a Shichibukai, and Sugar, as his subordinate, also has the right to protect him."

“We know this better than you do, but Sugar is the key to taking down Doflamingo.”

"So I think you'd be willing to go too. After all, even though your combat power is greatly reduced right now, you're probably the only one who isn't afraid of Sugar's threat."

"but……"

"But that Sugar has bodyguards with him, is that what you mean?"

"Yes."

"That's easy, just take care of them all at the same time."
