Chapter 275 : Viola 2

"Alright, this is the time when you start talking beautiful woman, unless you want to be like them," Kirito said as he pointed at all these thugs who's asses he just kicked.

And it's needless to say that Viola's attack with her devil fruit was completely useless against Kirito. With just little skilful moments of footwork on this part, he dodges that whale looking like attacked by Viola.

"Oh, so you think that I am beautiful," Viola asked as she slowly pushed her chest towards Kirito, trying to seduce him.

"Yes very beautiful, exactly the kind of woman I hate as they use there beauty to seduce innocent boys like me." Kirito reply with a smile as he slowly took out a kunai to scare her.

Seeing the woman gulp a smile appears on Kirito's face, " So will you talk, I am honestly not mad that you ambushed me, happens with me a lot. So as long as you will help me out I will let you go. just need information. 

It's clear that you have more information about Doflamingo, those toys and I believe that you can also help me find information about the person I am searching for." Kirito said with a smile.

Viola at this point was frowning, she by knew that there is no way that she can beat Kirito and even running away would not work for her. Sighing, she just give up to her fate and decided to talk about everything.

"Okay," she began. "First, I should tell you who I really am. My full name is Viola, and I'm the princess of Dressrosa."

Kirito's eyes widened in surprise. "A princess? I didn't expect that. I was expecting something more impressive than just a random beauty of Dressrosa but damn"

Viola nodded. "Yes. My family has ruled this kingdom for generations. But everything changed when Doflamingo took over. He forced my father, King Riku, off the throne and took control. Using the king's own hands to kill the people of Dressrosa by controlling him with his fruit. He's been ruling Dressrosa with fear and manipulation ever since." She said with a grim on her face. 

Kirito listened intently, this was an ever-lasting story formation in One Piece. Kirito never like this setting, its like its been crafted for the protagonist to come and solve. 

Not to mention this people who are suffering. However, he also understands that it is not always for the protagonist. 

He never like it, that why he prefers Naruto's settling more, Naruto by no means can solve everything and the problems are not created so he can go and solve them.

At the same time he just can't disagree that he enjoys the fights and interesting things ODA did by doing that. So he is also not suitable to comment on that. 

Viola continued, her voice trembling slightly. "The toys you see all around the city… they're actually people. Doflamingo's subordinate, Sugar, has the power to transform people into toys. Once someone is turned into a toy, everyone forgets about them. Families, friends, everyone just forgets they ever existed."

Kirito frowned. "Well shit?"

This was the exact thing which he was nervous about, devil fruits which are just too tricky to countre. He has no idea who is Sugar, he doesn't know how that power works. What if the person standing next to him when he go out in the city again is sugar, how the hell he gonna dodge something he can't even see coming ?

Even meteoroids are fine, he has a way of handling them but if he turn into a toy by let say eating something like candy, maybe by getting touched by someone or by getting seen by someone, how the hell he supposed to dodge that? Especially when he doesn't even know who is that person.

"She has a Devil Fruit ability," Viola continued. " She can turn anyone into a toy. And as long as she remains conscious, the transformation is permanent. Though I don't know how her powers work exactly"

"So, all these people have been suffering in silence, completely erased from their loved ones' memories?" Kirito asked with a little down voice, he ins't a sentimental person but his own childhood wasn't that good, and this made him have a high sense of justice.

"Yes," Viola confirmed, her eyes filled with pain. "It's Doflamingo's way of maintaining control. Anyone who opposes him or gets in his way is turned into a toy. It's how he keeps the population in line."

"And what about you?" Kirito asked. "How have you been surviving all this?"

Viola sighed. "Hiding most of the time, but only recently they have found out about my identity, I've been using my Devil Fruit power, the Giro Giro no Mi, which allows me to see through everything and everyone. It's helped me stay one step ahead of Doflamingo's men. But it's also made me a target. That's why those goons were chasing me earlier."

Kirito nodded, now finally getting a picture of what was going on here. "You've been incredibly brave to keep fighting under these circumstances," Kirito said, not sure why he encouraged her but its was something about her face which just let him comment that.

"I had no choice," Viola said, her voice resolute. "I couldn't just stand by and let Doflamingo destroy my home and my people. I joined the resistance to help bring him down."

Kirito leaned forward, his expression serious. "What exactly is Doflamingo doing here? Besides turning people into toys, I mean."

Viola's expression darkened. "He's using Dressrosa as a base for his criminal activities. He's involved in the underground trade of weapons and artificial Devil Fruits called SMILEs. Though I have no idea how, and neither I am 100% sure about that, that is just something I heard."

Kirito's eyes narrowed. "So this is the seven warlord of the sea, pretty neat position," Kirito said with a sarcastic tone.

"Yes," Viola said. "That's why... please... please help me. I see you are strong, the people of Dressrosa are suffering, and many lost families as none of their own can recognize when they saw those toys, underneath the cheerful city you see, there are tears and blood of those who don't even have their eyes anymore to cry nor blood left behind to bleed.

Please help... maybe with you we can... we can bring him down." her entire body trembles while tears trail down her face. 

Kirito saw this and just closed his eyes. 

'Damn she really talks good and that guilt trap...Me and my hero thing. One day I'm gonna die like this...but WHAT THE HELL.'

"Sure, kicking the ass of a warlord, count me in." Kirito smile.
