Chapter 113 – Toy Turmoil
"Head‑Clip Toy!"
With an innocent smile, Sugar gently tapped Vores on the arm with her small hand.
The power of the Hobi Hobi no Mi activated instantly—
—and in an instant, Vores' body shrank and transformed into a wooden nutcracker‑shaped toy.
"Vores!"
Skaar could only watch helplessly as his crewmate was turned into a toy. Rage burned in his chest, but at that same moment, his memory of Vores was ripped away.
"I… what's… wrong?"
Skaar's anger twisted into confusion. Tears streamed from his eyes, but he no longer knew why he was crying. A strange emptiness gnawed at him.
"Now, Sugar!"
Trebol seized the opening. Controlling his sticky chains, he swung Sugar toward the dazed Skaar like a living weapon.
Boom!
A sudden crash rocked the Corrida Colosseum. The roof exploded as something massive broke through.
A huge hippopotamus Zoan user, already unconscious with huge lumps on its head, plummeted from above—
—and smashed directly into Sugar before she could reach Skaar.
Falling alongside the beast was a woman with long pink hair, flanked by several tiny warriors.
It was Jewelry Bonney and Carols, arriving from Green Bit with the Tontatta warriors they'd rallied into a temporary alliance.
"Ah! Sugar‑chan!"
Trebol was stunned by the sudden disaster. He scrambled over, straining to push the unconscious hippo aside and drag Sugar free.
But Sugar's eyes were rolling, her little body trembling on the edge of unconsciousness.
"Sugar! Wake up! You can't pass out now!" Trebol shook her desperately, panic creeping into his normally smug voice.
He knew better than anyone—if Sugar fainted, their hold over Dressrosa would crumble.
"Bonney… did we just hit a kid?" Carols muttered, hovering in midair.
"It doesn't matter. Enemy's an enemy." Bonney brushed it off coldly.
Unlike Ace's crewmates, Bonney's life had been cruel; she felt no pity, even for a childlike enemy.
Bonney's eyes flicked to Skaar, who stood frozen with tears on his face.
"Oi! What's with you, big guy?" she called.
"I… what's wrong with me?" Skaar whispered, wiping his tears. The confusion gave way to dawning shock. He felt like something precious was missing, yet he couldn't name it.
"Sugar‑chan!!"
Trebol's scream cut through the chaos—
Sugar's eyes rolled back.
Her small body went limp in his arms.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A strange white smoke erupted from every toy in the arena.
One by one, they began to change—
—toys reverting to human form.
Among them… Vores.
Among them… Yaqi.
In that instant, memories came flooding back.
Skaar gasped, now fully remembering his friend.
"This is bad!" Trebol hissed. His face twisted in panic as he glanced at Sugar in his arms. He tried to retreat, aiming to escape with her before the chaos spread.
But two figures blocked his path—
Vores and Yaqi, fully restored.
"The toys in this country… they were all people."
Bonney's eyes widened as she saw the flood of former toys staggering back to their feet.
"No wonder those toys could think and feel… they really were humans all along!"
She threw her head back and laughed.
"Pwahaha! You two! You seriously let yourselves get turned into toys?!"
Skaar exhaled shakily, relief softening his expression as he saw his crewmates alive again.
"This girl's ability is terrifying," Vores growled. "We can't let her escape."
"Yeah," Yaqi added grimly, the normally gentle fighter's tone uncharacteristically hard. "Until this war's over, that girl doesn't leave our sight."
They all knew: no matter how dangerous Sugar was, none of them could bring themselves to kill a childlike opponent. That only made her power more dangerous.
Without further discussion, the three of them lunged for Trebol.
"Sticky Chains!"
Trebol shot a line of sticky mucus to the ceiling, swinging upward to escape with Sugar in his grasp.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gunshots rang out from above.
Trebol cried out as bullets tore into his shoulder, his body jerking in midair before crashing back down.
The shooters were the former toy soldiers, now fully human.
Their memories of their suffering returned with a flood of rage—
and their hatred for the Donquixote Family doubled.
They aimed their guns at Trebol and Sugar with murderous intent, eyes blazing with fury.
Across Dressrosa, the effect spread like wildfire.
Half the population—once forgotten as toys—were human again.
Families reunited. Loved ones returned. And along with those memories came the truth of what the Donquixote Family had done.
In that single moment when Sugar fainted…
the entire kingdom of Dressrosa rose in rebellion.
