The land of passion and love, Dressrosa.
This was the kingdom that Doflamingo conquered and used as his base in the New World.
As Doflamingo became the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he took away this country from the previous king, whose name didn't really matter to Shinra.
It might be cold, but the truth of this world was like this: the loser lost everything, and the winner took away everything.
If the previous king was a competent king, then would they even lose?
Regardless, as Doflamingo had lost to him, Shinra would take Doflamingo's everything.
The first step was to take down this kingdom.
"When we're over, can we take a holiday in this kingdom?" Carina asked.
"Okay."
"That's a great idea."
They had been working hard on many things after their first meeting on Jaya Island, and whether it was Shinra or Robin, they felt that it was good to take it easy on the Dressrosa Kingdom when they took down Doflamingo's ruler in this kingdom.
Still, while Shinra, Carina, and Robin were on Dressrosa, on a certain island on the Grand Line, Mr. 3, or Galdino, wanted to cry without tears, wondering when his boss would go back.
"So... when is he going back?"
"Soon! Soon! He will go back! Please be patient!"
Yet, Shinra knew nothing of Galdino's trouble, as he had made his Den Den Mushi not accept all the calls, and with Camouflage Space ability from Kaiju No. 9, it was impossible for this person, who had pressured Galdino to reveal their location, to know where they were.
"So, what are we going to do?"
For Shinra, it was easy to enter the island undetected with Carina and Robin.
Moreover, Carina was a super thief, and Robin had experienced being chased by many people for her bounty, so her infiltration ability was quite good, especially with her Hana Hana no Mi, which made her able to create eyes or ears in many places to detect her surroundings, like surveillance cameras or drones. If the two of them mastered the Observation Haki, then their infiltration skills would be enhanced further.
Still, like how they infiltrated Punk Hazard, with Shinra's hypnotism, they quickly dressed in the costumes of Doflamingo's followers as they entered the underground trade port of this kingdom.
"Let's see the secrets behind those toys."
"Toys?" 2x
While this kingdom was nice to see, especially the Spanish-like architecture and culture, what made them curious the most were the living toys that lived alongside the people of this kingdom.
In this world, many races existed, but what were those toys?
Were they living beings?
Were they machines created to live with the people in this country?
Or were they the products of the Devil Fruit?
Among all of the possibilities, Shinra knew that it was the latter.
Yes, his memory of this world might not be complete, especially when he died in his previous world, the story of One Piece hadn't finished, but even so, with the ability of the previous king or Doflamingo, it was impossible to create living toys with their brains.
"So, you think that all of those toys are humans that are transformed with the Devil Fruit?" Robin asked curiously.
"Yes." Shinra nodded. "If we take down the user of this Devil Fruit, and return all of those toys into their original form, what will happen?"
Why were those people turned into toys?
The answer was easy, and that was because before all of those people turned into toys, they had caused trouble or simply were enemies of Doflamingo.
Doflamingo might be one of the most successful pirates, and was famous for being known as the broker of the underworld, selling weapons, and many illegal items by using his status as the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and also the Dressrosa Kingdom, which was part of the World Government.
With Doflamingo's status, while he might be able to escape from the punishment just by sacrificing Vergo and Monet to the prison and probably also paying a certain amount of money to the World Government, if Shinra released all of those toys and exposed everything in this kingdom, would Doflamingo be able to escape from his punishment?
Whether the World Government wished to or not, they had to punish Doflamingo, or else, this organization would lose the image of justice or righteousness in the eyes of people!
For Luffy and his group, in the original story, they had a hard time doing all of this, but for Shinra, who would infiltrate deep into the hidden area of the Dressrosa Kingdom and even hypnotize all of the small fries of the Doflamingo Pirates to become loyal to him, it was so easy.
Who made his main profession a ninja, after all?
"That said, is Doflamingo rich?" Carina asked with shining eyes.
"...." Shinra and Robin.
While Shinra was speechless, he nodded. "He should be one of the wealthiest men in the world."
"How did he make his money?"
"Pirates make money by robbing, but this guy is different since he has several businesses, including usury, weapons, slavery, illegal goods, drugs, and many others. Moreover, as the king of this kingdom, he can also tax the people in this country, so you can imagine how wealthy he is, right?"
Shinra thought of this kingdom for a while, then said, "While that guy might not be that powerful, his talent in management is high, and the way he manages this kingdom is even better than the previous king."
Compared to the previous king, as the new king of this kingdom, Doflamingo was a hundred times better since everyone in this kingdom had become quite wealthy due to him. At the same time, as he was also quite powerful, the safety of this kingdom had become better, as no pirates and nearby kingdoms dared to rob this kingdom again.
The previous king might be famous for his gentleness, but could gentleness protect everyone?
So, while Doflamingo might be shitty, he was a better king.
"Well, no one is perfect in this world."
"That's true." 2x
The two of them nodded since even Shinra was such a lustful guy.
"....." Shinra.
Nevertheless, the three of them walked like they strolled in the park, and even if the protection of this place was so tight and had even an executive member of the Doflamingo Pirate protect this place, no one could stop them.
"Is that the executive?"
The three of them saw a large man with a snotty nose and a strange appearance yawning and seemingly sleepy, standing near a large dome-like room.
"He seems weird." Carina frowned, thinking this executive was a bit shabby.
"The weirder the people are, the stronger they usually are." Yet, Robin understood the rules of this world. "If they are normal and have no individuality, they aren't that powerful, but when they have a certain individuality, they are powerful."
"How did you come up with such a conclusion, Robin?" Carina asked curiously.
"Shinra told me."
"How did you come up with that conclusion, Shinra?"
"...can you two be more serious? We're going to take down Doflamingo's rule, but why the heck are you two joking around?" Shinra sighed helplessly as he walked forward. "Wait here."
As he used his Iro Iro no Mi, he turned himself invisible, and also used his Haki at the same time to conceal himself. As expected, the snotty man, Trebol, didn't notice him, but he didn't stop or try to attack Trebol, as this man wasn't his target. Instead, he looked at the little girl, who ate grapes greedily, and walked forward before he made a hand knife to make her pass out.
"Ah."
The girl passed out, then in that moment, all the living toys in the kingdom quickly turned into humans!
"Huh, I have returned!"
"Dear? Y-You are that toy!"
"That bastard, Doflamingo!"
As everyone returned to the human form, all the Doflamingo Pirates were in a panic, and no one could stop it, especially when Doflamingo was caught.
Meanwhile, Doflamingo, who had awoken from passing out, ground his teeth in hatred, thinking of revenge, especially that young man, who had attacked him all of a sudden in a sneaky way.
"Just wait... I will definitely return everything a hundredfold!"
Yet, as he waited to be released and thought of how to save Monet and Vergo, he then saw Tsuru, who had always been his nightmare, as she often caused him a lot of trouble and had defeated him so many times when he was still in the North Blue.
The current expression of Tsuru was fearsome, and because of that, Doflamingo got a bad feeling.
"Don't ever think to get out after all of this, Doflamingo."
"Eh?"
As Doflamingo knew nothing after he was caught, he didn't know that everything he had built was in ruins.
