Chapter 84 - Smoke Bomb

Dolfamingo was in his home thinking about the next action he should take. Being a warlord no longer meant anything to him, so he felt it was time to leave. His SMILE factory was running and soon the first patch of artificial devil fruits would be created.

As he was thinking about what came next after that, a tall, portly man with large lips entered. He wore a pink bonnet and purple aviator sunglasses.

"Doflamingo! There's trouble down at the colosseum!"

Dolfamingo looked at the man and tilted his head.

"Some people in mask beat up all the guards, the competitors and took the devil fruit for themselves. They've disobeyed all the rules we set up, how would you like to handle this?"

Dolfamingo's face darkened.

"What about Diamante?."

Dolfamingo asked, as Diamante was always at the colosseum.

"Diamante is having a difficult time finding against the masked swordsman. However, there are two more of them any they haven't even moved in to help the masked swordsman. If they move, Diamante will lose."

"Take Pica and go help him. Retrieve the devil fruit at all cost! Also have Lao G move to the SMILE Factory. I can't but have a bad feeling..."

The man nodded his head and left the room leaving Dolfamingo alone.

Dolfamingo gritted his teeth, he couldn't believe this was happening.

Those masked people didn't know who they were messing with.

While Dolfamingo was trying to get the situation at the colosseum under control, he had yet to realize he was about to lose his core figure who was helping him keep all of Dressrosa in line.

A young girl was walking down the streets of Dressrosa with a basket full of berries in her hand. She appeared to be ten-years old with aquamarine hair and dark blue eyes.

Behind her was a hunchback man wearing a long, ragged blue coat. There was constant mucus and sticky slime on the helm of the coat.

Both these two went everywhere together, as one was the core of Dolfamingo's operations here on Dressrosa, while the other was her bodyguard.

"Ron, that's her. The one Bob talked about."

Ain said as she pointed at Sugar.

"But who's that with her?"

Tiffany asked as she looked at the man.

"Bob did mention that her combat ability was lacking, so it's safe to assume that man has to be her bodyguard. What are we going to do?"

Ain asked as she looked at Ron.

Currently all three of them were blending in with the surroundings so no one could make them out. They could see each other and everyone else around them, but no one could see them.

Ron looked at them both and started making hand signs.

Ain and Tiffany nodded.

Ron kept them in stealthed, but drew his sniper rifle.

Tiffany drew her bow and knocked back three arrows. Both of them were ranged classes, but they were different.

Over the course of these two years, Tiffany improved her wind devil fruit ability. She could now imbue her arrows with wind, as well as fly. There were other things she was capable of such as launching attacks on her opponents from afar without the use of her weapon.

Her three arrows flew towards the man but he sensed something and dodged out of the way. The three arrows broke through the ground with ease.

After Tiffany missed, Ron let out a shot towards Sugar.

Although someone could hear the sound of the gun firing, they could not see the bullet.

Ron was capable of making his projectiles also blend in with the surroundings, but since they were constantly moving it took more of his focus to use this skill.

The man dodged again, when he heard gunfire, and even then he saw nothing. He looked towards where the sound came from, but there was no one there.

When he looked towards Sugar he noticed there was a hole in her stomach. She was in shock at the moment as she touched her stomach and saw blood on her hands.

The man was about to move, but his body was swept away by a large gust of wind.

Ain appeared in front of Sugar and put some cuffs on her hands.

Everything happened so fast that the man barely had time to react. In the span of five seconds Sugar was captured.

"Who are you?"

He asked the masked person that cuffed Sugar.

Ain looked at the man and threw some black balls onto the ground.

Thinking they were explosives the man used his devil fruit ability to create a thick wall of mucus. Except, those black balls did not explode, when he looked again he saw smoke rising.

"Arg!"

He roared as he covered the entire area in his mucus.

He couldn't see anything, but it was the same for that masked person. Anyone caught in his mucus would become trapped.

Looking around, he saw that there was no one here.

'How am I going to explain this…"

The thought to himself.

Sugar turned anyone she touched into toys and had control over them. However, if she died, loss of consciousness, or her powers were no longer able to be used then everyone she turned into a toy would return back into a living person. When that happened all the memories of the forgotten would return as well.

That was bad as the order in Dressrosa would be distributed. There was no doubt that the people who were toys would gather up to try and rebel.

However, he did not want to tell Dolfamingo he let Sugar be captured.
