ALL NOVEL Chapter 103: Chapter 97
Accompanied by the cheers of the divine soldiers, Nami personally controlled the floating cloud to descend quickly.
In the Dressrosa Palace, Doflamingo stood up when he heard the explosion. He looked at the smoke rising from the port in the distance with an ugly expression and murmured softly:
"Violet..."
After leaving a thread clone in the original place, he flew towards the port with a dark face...
The Riku Royal Army lurking in the flower field also heard the sound. After a brief discussion, Taigu Lepant, the former captain of the self-defense army of the Riku Royal Army, decided to send his men to the port to inquire about the situation.
Cyrus, the unicorn toy soldier in another part of the flower field, did not move, because his daughter Rebecca needed his protection here.
In the bullfighting arena, the former king Riku Dold III, under the alias "Riki," had an eagle's eye and a wolf's look. He was determined to take revenge. Perhaps only when he saw the hope of revenge would his eyes be full of spirit again.
Back to Ethan, he hugged Violet's waist and flew to an empty high-rise building. The view here was wide, and perhaps Violet's Glare-Glare Fruit ability could save him some effort in locating his targets.
After standing still, Ethan still didn't let go. He leaned close to Violet's ear and whispered softly:
"Miss Violet, can you tell me~ where Sugar from the Donquixote Family and the princess of the Tontatta Kingdom are?"
Ethan's actions made Violet's ears visibly turn pink. She muttered to herself:
"Hmph, I'm not young... The reputation of the God Emperor Ethan's lust is really not fake news spread by the Navy. I thought it was a rumor. After all... the photo on the bounty order is so domineering, as if it was specially posed for the photo..."
Then she chose to bet her hope of destroying the Donquixote Family on Ethan. Wouldn't that mean she would have to sacrifice herself? She also planned to wait for Ethan to come and confirm his purpose first!
Thinking of this, she sighed. She couldn't keep her "precious" thing after all...
Although she didn't know why Doflamingo didn't touch her after she was forced to join the Donquixote Family, now...
She had previously guessed that it was because Doflamingo valued her Glare-Glare Fruit ability and was afraid that she would commit suicide, so he didn't dare to touch her.
[The real reason is: Doflamingo, as a former Celestial Dragon, regarded his life as precious and looked down on these "ordinary women."]
Nowadays, she still has the most precious thing, and perhaps she can get some corresponding "attention" from Ethan.
Moreover, Ethan has already invaded deep into Dressrosa. Things have developed to this point... No, this matter has not been under her control from the beginning!
In just a few breaths, Violet's mind anticipated her future. As expected of a user of the Glare-Glare Fruit, she had a long-term vision.
Ethan saw Violet's ears trembling slightly and her face turning rosy, so he knew she was shy. He was not in a hurry. While waiting for Violet to "return to reality," he admired her watery eyes like autumn waves.
Finally, Violet gently grasped Ethan's collar with one hand, and the tip of the index finger and thumb of the other hand touched to form a circle and placed it on her left eye.
After observing the surroundings, she found the trace of Sugar, but Mansherry was slow to find...
She carefully recalled all the places in Dressrosa, thinking about all the places she explored when she was young, and finally thought of a possibility: the depths of the chapel in the palace, a place she had never seen.
As expected, Mansherry's aggrieved expression appeared in her vision!
"Mansherry, you're here!"
She breathed a sigh of relief and responded with a soft, sticky voice like a queen:
"Gomenasai, I've kept you waiting for a long time. Sugar is guarded by Trebol, one of the top executives of the Donquixote Family, and is currently in the underground factory of the bullfighting arena..."
Seemingly a little awkward being restrained by Ethan, she panted softly and said, "Mansherry is imprisoned alone in a small confinement room deep in the palace chapel."
"Oh? Doesn't Mansherry have Doflamingo's people to watch over her?"
Ethan was not surprised that she betrayed Doflamingo, but was more interested in her seductive look.
"No, under normal circumstances, Doflamingo would be in the palace... hum~"
"You... actually..."
"Really good~"
Ethan smiled and let her go. Violet's shy reactions undoubtedly showed that she was very unfamiliar and unaccustomed to his contact.
These reactions couldn't be faked because, no matter how hard you try, there will be flaws. When someone is shy, the charm in their eyes is different.
With his "experienced" perspective, Ethan could see that Violet was his "little baby" worth cherishing.
However, if he wanted to capture Violet's heart and even surpass her love for her former Dressrosa Kingdom, he needed more means!
Ethan first glanced at the King's Plateau, then turned his head to look at the bullfighting arena.
Which one should he go for first, Sugar or Mansherry?
Both of them possessed devil fruits with game-changing abilities.
The most famous was Sugar's Childlike Fruit, which could turn creatures she touched into toys (regardless of whether the other party was awake or not). It also erased all memories of the target in the minds of others, though physical records such as photos, text, and statues remained.
Ethan pondered his choices, ready to act decisively.
