Chapter 321: The Land of Fairies and Toys!

After a night of sailing, the thousand sunny finally crossed the unpredictable waters of the New World.

Amidst the cries of seagulls in the early morning, a strange island surrounded by massive and steep rock formations appeared in everyone's view.

The destination, 'Dressrosa', had arrived.

As the ship docked, Law was still earnestly trying to make a final tactical save:

"Listen up, everyone. Although we unexpectedly lost Caesar, our most crucial bargaining chip..."

"...Doflamingo is currently unsure of our true strength and must be in a defensive posture."

"As long as we don't cause a major disturbance and sneak in to find the specific location of the SMILE Factory, we can..."

Unfortunately, on this ship, no one was listening to Law at all.

Looking at the bustling and lively island outside with its rich exotic flair, Luffy's eyes had long since turned into two twinkling stars.

He cheered and, clutching his Straw Hat, prepared to jump straight off the ship.

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, Nami landed a punch with unerring precision onto Luffy's head, instantly causing a large lump to sprout on the impulsive Captain's head.

"Behave yourself!"

With one hand on her hip, Nami scanned the crowd with a serious expression and issued an order.

"To avoid being immediately recognized by the Marine stationed on the island and the Donquixote Family's informants..."

"...everyone is to stay on the ship and wait! No running around!"

Then, she turned around, brought Tatsuya along, and habitually grabbed Law by the collar:

"Tra-guy, you come along too and help carry things!"

Law's face darkened, but under Tatsuya's half-smiling gaze, he could only swallow his protest and follow them through gritted teeth.

A moment later, the three of them finished their shopping and returned to the ship.

Law was miserably covered in bags of all sizes, looking like a human wardrobe.

Meanwhile, Tatsuya held a large cloth bag, looking completely composed.

Nami directed the two to dump all the tropical-style clothing and over a dozen exaggerated, eye-catching "animal masks" onto the wide deck.

Seeing this, the Straw Hat Pirates excitedly rushed forward to pick out their disguises.

Luffy changed into a gaudy sunflower shirt, put on a pair of funny white fake whiskers, and donned a majestic "Bull Mask."

Chopper carefully selected a "Deer Mask" that suited his temperament.

Zoro changed into a sharp black suit and wore a cool "Wolf Mask" on his face...

Watching the Straw Hat crew, who immediately rushed off the ship like wild dogs off a leash after changing clothes, Law let out a long sigh:

"Forget it... I'll go scout the Donquixote Family's movements in secret first."

"You guys... try to stay out of trouble for as long as possible. Don't get exposed as soon as you step onto the island."

The Straw Hat Pirates entered the port town of "Acacia" in a grand procession.

The sun was bright here, and the buildings were colorful.

Dancers performing passionate flamenco to cheerful music could be seen everywhere on the streets, and the air was filled with the intoxicating scent of flowers.

Not long after entering the town, they witnessed an emotional drama.

A beautiful local woman, out of jealousy, was fiercely brandishing a gleaming sharp knife and angrily chasing her unfaithful lover down the street.

Watching this, Sanji wasn't afraid; instead, giant pink hearts popped out of his eyes, and he began to wiggle on the spot like a noodle:

"Ah! Drawing blades for the sake of love!"

"This is truly a land of passion! I love it here!"

But what shocked and fascinated the Straw Hat Pirates the most was that throughout the streets and alleys of this country, there were "toys" everywhere that could talk, walk, and even work and live alongside humans!

Clockwork soldiers beating small drums, plush bears carrying trays, puppet dogs pulling carts...

Luffy's eyes lit up, and he darted around the streets excitedly:

"So cool! This is a kingdom of living toys!"

Chopper's eyes also lit up, and he happily waved his little hooves to greet the passing toys.

Luffy's curiosity was overflowing, and he stretched his Gum-Gum arms very long.

He excitedly pulled the tail of a toy monkey selling balloons, drawing a protest from the toy.

However, Robin, walking at the back of the group, fixed her gaze on a clockwork toy carrying heavy goods for humans under the scorching sun.

The attitude of the humans around them toward these toys was not that of equal companions, but of a natural enslavement.

Robin frowned slightly and quietly approached Tatsuya, whispering:

"The atmosphere of this country... is too strange."

"On the surface, it looks happy and peaceful, but I feel like something isn't right."

Hearing this, Tatsuya's lips curled into a light smile, and he replied calmly:

"Ah, because this isn't a fairy tale world at all."

As the group walked along the bustling street, Zoro suddenly stopped and pointed to a noisy tavern ahead that smelled of wine:

"I'm going to grab a drink and gather some intel while I'm at it."

Before anyone could respond, the master of getting lost instantly vanished into the bustling crowd.

Next, by an outdoor cafe on the street, a sexy beauty with black hair and a red dress, who was performing a passionate dance, blew a very charming wink at Sanji during a spin.

Sanji was instantly drawn in as if by a powerful magnet, two streams of blood spraying from his nostrils.

With a blissful, noodle-like gait, he followed the beauty into a dark alley without hesitation.

Looking back again, the trio of Usopp, Chopper, and Brook had also disappeared at some point, lured away by street performances or novelties.

In the blink of an eye, the once well-organized infiltration team had completely scattered on the street like loose sand.

Only Luffy, Tatsuya, Franky, Robin, and Nami were left standing there, looking at each other.

Tatsuya shrugged casually and chuckled:

"It seems the 'Zero Plan' we formulated was executed perfectly."

"Now we can't even find everyone."

Luffy laughed heartily, not caring at all.

Just then, his stomach let out a thunderous protest right on cue, like a war drum being beaten.

Smelling the aroma of food wafting from the street, Luffy's eyes lit up, and he turned into a blur, rushing into a popular local restaurant.

As soon as he sat down, Luffy transformed into a relentless eating machine.

The waiters' speed of serving dishes couldn't even keep up with his speed of swallowing.

In just a few minutes, the huge plates used to serve the local seafood rice had already piled up into a tall hill before him.

While Luffy was eating frantically, on the other side of the restaurant, next to a large roulette table...

...a tall and burly blind man wearing a purple yukata and with his eyes tightly closed was quietly playing roulette.

Several casino thugs nearby saw he was blind and harbored ill intentions.

They shamelessly bullied him for not being able to see, working together to cheat at the game with malicious moves, and in no time, they had cheated the blind man out of all his chips.

Not content with that, they even looked at him with murderous intent, planning to forcibly snatch the money pouch from the blind man's robes.

Watching this while eating noodles, Franky felt very displeased.

He felt that this kind of despicable behavior of bullying the weak was not'SUPER' at all.

He immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks, clenched his fists, and prepared to get up and teach those scumbags a lesson.

Tatsuya, however, reached out and firmly held Franky's broad shoulder.

A smirk formed on his lips as if he were watching a show:

"Don't move. That blind tiger doesn't need anyone's help."

At this point, seeing the blind man refuse to hand over the money pouch, the thugs finally lost their patience and arrogantly drew their sharp steel blades, preparing to viciously strike down at the blind man's head.

Facing the descending blade, the blind man only let out a very helpless, long sigh.

His right hand slowly gripped the hilt of the cane-sword he had been leaning on.

No one present even saw him draw or swing his blade.

All they heard was a "click"—the crisp sound of the blade being sheathed—

"BOOM—!!!"

In the next second, a terrifying gravity, as if Mount Tai were pressing down, instantly descended upon the area.

The solid wooden floor of the entire restaurant was directly crushed by this violent force, creating a bottomless, massive pit.

The arrogant gamblers who had just been cheating didn't even have time to let out a scream before being pinned to the bottom of the pit by this gravity.

The immense pressure caused them to vomit blood, their bones making crisp cracking sounds, unable to move even an inch.

The restaurant instantly fell into a deathly silence, and all the diners were so terrified by this horrifying scene that their breathing stopped.

Luffy, who had been wolfing down his food, stopped chewing.

He swallowed the food in his mouth, his beast-like intuition as a top-tier powerhouse making his gaze pierce through the crowd to fixate on the blind man.

The blind man, who had shown such incredible strength, acted as if nothing had happened and politely turned around.

He apologized to the stunned restaurant owner and stated he would compensate for the damages.

Then, he turned his head, his face with closed eyes accurately facing the direction where Tatsuya, Luffy, and the others were:

"I have just arrived, and my eyes are inconvenient, so I really don't know the way..."

"I wonder if you gentlemen could point me in the direction of the 'Corrida Colosseum'?"
