[Pirate] I! Orochimaru! I will never split! Chapter 247

In the hidden underground secret base, Franky, Robin, Usopp, and others sat around, their eyes fixed on the toy soldier in front of them.

The toy soldier held a small pointer, pointing at the detailed battle plan on the board, explaining it eloquently.

“I’ve named this plan the ‘Dressrosa SOP Operation’.”

The toy soldier said with full vigor.

Although the Tontatta people beside him didn’t quite understand the meaning of the name, they cooperatively let out exclamations of awe, filled with anticipation and nervousness for the operation.

Franky frowned, staring at the operation name on the blackboard with a puzzled expression, and couldn’t help but ask,

“SOP? What does that even mean?”

The toy soldier patiently began to explain,

“In the country of Dressrosa, there’s a vast, little-known underground world.

To secretly conduct various transactions there, a special trading post and a mysterious factory have been set up.

Those unfortunate Tontatta people who were captured, and those who were turned into toys, are forced to work there day and night.

We spent a whole year finally digging an underground tunnel, planning to secretly infiltrate through it and rescue all of them.

Then, we’ll seize this opportunity to destroy the equipment, thoroughly defeat the Donquixote Family, and return the country to King Riku.”

The toy soldier explained patiently, even getting a little excited in the last sentence.

But Franky seemed still bothered by the operation name and pressed on,

“If that’s the case, then the SOP in this operation name must have a profound meaning, right?”

Robin looked expressionlessly at Franky, who couldn’t tell right from wrong.

“Franky, please be quiet.”

Usopp frowned deeply, a hint of hesitation in his eyes, staring intently at the toy soldier in front of him, and couldn’t help but retort,

“You say it so easily, but those guys aren’t easy to deal with. They won’t be defeated so easily.”

The toy soldier’s expression also became exceptionally solemn, and he slowly said,

“Indeed, this plan is somewhat idealistic in a way.

But then again, no one in this world can foresee what Dressrosa will become in a few tens of minutes.

However, our primary task right now is to complete one mission that must be completed no matter what.”

At this point, the toy soldier paused slightly, his tone becoming serious:

“That is to make the culprit who turned us into toys, Doflamingo’s subordinate, the one with the Hobby-Hobby Fruit ability, lose consciousness.”

Upon hearing this, Usopp let out a surprised cry: “Hobby-Hobby Fruit?”

The toy soldier nodded and continued,

“As long as that ability user loses consciousness at that critical moment, all the people who were turned into toys will return to their flesh-and-blood forms.

And, at the same time, all the residents of the country will also regain their erased memories. However, when that moment truly arrives, we cannot predict what kind of situation will occur.”

The toy soldier’s voice carried concern as he slowly said, “How many people will be willing to fight alongside us?

What thoughts will the citizens have, and what actions will they take?

How will Doflamingo respond?

What actions will the Marines take?

The only thing that can be foreseen now is that the future of this country will definitely fall into complete panic and chaos.”

Usopp’s heart fluttered with fear as he listened, his voice even becoming a little stuttering. He leaned closer to Robin and whispered,

“At the banquet, we didn’t even hear about this person. Could this be a trump card Doflamingo deliberately kept hidden?

I also heard that the senior executives didn’t attend the banquet. Could this Hobby-Hobby Fruit ability user be a senior executive?”

Saying that, he looked nervously at the toy soldier.

“Where is that Hobby-Hobby Fruit ability user now? That guy must be strong, right?” Usopp asked eagerly.

The toy soldier lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then replied, “According to the intelligence provided by the Tontatta reconnaissance unit, she is currently at the underground trading post.”

At this point, the toy soldier’s tone carried resentment, and the Tontatta people beside him couldn’t help but grit their teeth.

“Donquixote Family’s Trebol Army’s special executive, Sugar!

The girl who can turn anyone she touches into a toy!

Although she looks very young, I heard that her body stopped growing the moment she ate the Devil Fruit.

The Donquixote Family regards her as their most important strategic personnel.

They even arranged for the family’s highest executive, Trebol, to be her personal bodyguard.”

Robin’s voice was slightly urgent as she quickly asked,

“So, that means as long as that child loses consciousness, the toys will return to normal?”

After hearing the name “Sugar,” Usopp rested a hand on his chin and fell into deep thought, muttering to himself,

“Sugar… Sugar… I think I’ve seen that somewhere, but where exactly…”

The toy soldier solemnly clenched his fists and said with a firm tone,

“That’s right! As long as we can scare Sugar into fainting!

Then the following situations will be achieved:

Sugar ‘S’,

Oh, so scared ‘O’,

Passed out from fear ‘P’

Taking the first letter of these three situations, we have the SOP operation plan!”

As the toy soldier said this, his emotions grew even more intense, and he became completely fired up, as if he could already see the success of the operation.

Robin, however, looked speechless, sweat almost dripping from her forehead, and she secretly thought to herself: This is too reckless! (；¬＿¬)

Franky, on the other hand, was completely different. He listened with surging excitement and shouted, “Oh!! This operation name is amazing!”

And Usopp, still engrossed in his own thoughts, was struggling to recall where he had ever seen the name Sugar.

“Sugar… Sugar… Operation plan! I remember now!” Usopp’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted excitedly, his excited demeanor as if he had grasped a crucial clue, instantly drawing everyone’s attention towards him.

Seeing everyone looking at him in unison, Usopp plopped down on the ground and hurriedly began to rummage through his bag, which was filled with various items.

He fumbled through the bag for a while, making a mess.

Finally, he pulled out a booklet from the very bottom. The cover of the booklet clearly read:

“ 100 Ways to Play with Sugar” …by Usopp

Upon seeing the title of the booklet, everyone’s gaze towards Usopp instantly became even more peculiar.

It was as if they were thinking, “So this is the kind of Usopp you are.”
