---------------
In front of a commercial street, Viola walked side by side with Jora, the Art-Art Fruit user, with light steps, occasionally pausing at the stalls and clothing stores lining both sides of the street. Like Sugar, they belonged to the special ability team of the Trebol Army. Sugar was protected by Trebol and rarely seen in public, while Viola and Jora could move freely outside.
"Oh, Viola-chan, look at me! How do I look in this dress?"
Although Jora was old, her spirit was youthful. Despite her obesity and peculiar sense of style, she was incredibly narcissistic and often sought compliments on her supposed unparalleled beauty.
"It's alright~" Viola covered her mouth, offering her honest opinion without a change in expression.
"Boss, wrap it up for me!"
"Yes!"
A middle-aged man with a seemingly "easy to bully" demeanor responded with a flattering tone, skillfully wrapping the clothes Jora had pointed to and handing them to her.
Jora stretched the corners of her mouth into an awkward smile and gestured for Viola to leave the clothing store.
"Come on, Viola-chan, let's go check out the harbor~"
"Okay~" Viola replied quickly, keeping pace with Jora.
As for paying with Berries? You had to be kidding! How could they possibly spend their funds when they were already pirates? The Donquixote Family wasn't some amateur pirate group playing make-believe! Hadn't you noticed that even the polite Ace wouldn't pay a single coin after eating at any restaurant, sneaking away to happily enjoy one free meal after another!
[It was after Sabo's "death" that he learned etiquette from Makino to set a good example for Luffy.]
Just as the two of them exited the clothing store and took a few steps, an extremely dazzling flash of lightning suddenly illuminated the street.
"How…"
"Lightning everywhere!"
Under the intense light, both Jora and Viola instinctively closed their eyes, especially Viola. For someone with the Glare-Glare Fruit, the stimulation of strong light was her greatest fear, as it could damage her eyes.
Bang bang bang!
Squeak~squeak~
"Startling…"
The sound of people collapsing to the ground echoed, seemingly mixed with Jora's pained screams and the hissing sound of escaping electricity.
Hikaru chuckled and raised his hand, extracting Jora's Art-Art Fruit ability. Considering that in the world of pirates, anyone could potentially "come back to life" even after severe physical injuries, he thoughtfully pierced Jora's abdomen with lightning, ensuring she was beyond any possibility of revival.
The next moment, he waved his hand and tossed Jora into a nearby alley. The power of the Art-Art Fruit was now stored within a fruit in his storage room. This fruit could materialize the user's imagination and inspiration, spraying transparent, cloud-like smoke from the palms or head.
Everything it touched would become the "artwork" envisioned by the user. The potential of this fruit was incredibly high, but its true power could only be demonstrated by someone with genuine "artistic talent." Coincidentally, one of his consorts, Marianne, famously known as Golden Week, hadn't yet eaten a Devil Fruit.
Hikaru reached out his hand again, aiming for Viola's forearm, intending to directly abduct her. As for why he didn't simply knock her unconscious as well, it was driven by a mischievous desire to see Viola so frightened that she blushed.
At the same time, Viola seemed to have regained her composure. After rubbing her eyes, she opened them in confusion and took in the "tragic scene" on Lovers Avenue. Before her stood only Hikaru, and Jora's figure had vanished without a trace.
Only a few pools of blood on the ground where Jora had been seemed to narrate her end. Further back, several people had fainted due to the mental shock of Haoshoku Haki.
Looking at the sinister hand Hikaru extended towards her, she quickly stepped back, exclaiming:
"What do you want to do…"
But how could she evade Hikaru's grasp? Before she could finish her sentence, Hikaru had seized her soft little hands. With a slight exertion, Viola's two small hands were locked firmly behind her back. This posture forced Viola to arch her back, fully showcasing her graceful figure.
Her attire was similar to what she wore in One Piece: a pink and red dress with a small pink flower adorning her head. Her alluring figure, with its curves, long legs, and slender waist, was not something ordinary people possessed.
Her long, wavy brown hair cascaded loosely around her waist. Their close proximity allowed Hikaru to catch the delicate violet scent of her hair. Her light brown pupils trembled slightly from the discomfort in her delicate hands. Unfortunately, only Hikaru witnessed this captivating and alluring scene.
Seeing things proceed so smoothly, even Hikaru couldn't help but murmur to himself, "I didn't expect capturing Viola to be this easy."
Viola hurriedly exclaimed in a tender voice, "I've seen your bounty poster! You're the Divine Emperor Hikaru, right? Please don't kill me, I won't resist!"
The reason for her extreme fear was that when she was forced to turn around, she had seen Jora's bleeding body in the distance using her clairvoyance.
"Oh? You recognized me? Don't resist. I have a fondness for pretty girls who are obedient and well-behaved."
Hikaru could tell her words weren't a delaying tactic, so he gently released her hand, placed his large hand around her soft waist, and ascended into the sky.
In truth, resistance wasn't entirely unwelcome, as it could provide an extra layer of unique amusement for Hikaru, who possessed a somewhat peculiar taste.
As expected, Viola offered no resistance. She was even afraid of falling, so she instinctively pressed closer to his chest.
The time had come, and Hikaru randomly selected an unlucky cadre from the Donquixote Family – Dellinger, who was raised as a girl by Jora!
Zzzzt~
A brilliant bolt of lightning shot into the sky from Hikaru's wrist and then hurtled towards Dellinger, who was having dinner with everyone at the Dressrosa port. The thick pillar of lightning resembled a super-sized fire stick, piercing the ground without any obstruction, engulfing Dellinger and the surrounding minions!
Boom—!
First, the dazzling lightning drew the attention of everyone in Dressrosa, followed by a deafening explosion. The lightning column struck too close to the sea. After penetrating the ground, it detonated in the seawater, unleashing a surge of heat.
Within moments, it engulfed the harbor. Another round of screams erupted, and panic spread rapidly… Even if Dellinger was a half-fishman, he likely wouldn't survive such an attack… After all, this wasn't two years later; he was still too young…
Five thousand meters above the sky, the eyes of the people of the Kingdom of God, who had been waiting patiently, lit up. Robin calmly gave the order:
"Let's go! Attack Dressrosa!"
"Oh~!"
Viola: The fallen princess of the Dressrosa Kingdom, Rebecca's aunt, possesses a very striking figure, is a skilled dancer, and can provide the protagonist with a great deal of enjoyable time.
