Chapter 229 An Avatar, One Man Suppresses Chaos
Similar to the case of the girl mentioned earlier, this was clearly not an isolated incident in Dressrosa at this moment.

Quite the opposite.

It can be seen everywhere.

"what!"

Screams rang out as a woman lay beside her husband's corpse, watching as her daughter was snatched away by a pirate.

"No! Please don't hurt my daughter!"

"Go away!"

She was kicked away by the pirate, and a toy dressed as a chef rushed forward waving a kitchen knife, shouting: "Let go of Shania!"

However, its fragile toy-like body also makes it virtually powerless in combat.

So the next moment, it was directly cleaved in two by the steel blade in the hand of another pirate, and its remains fell heavily to the ground.

"Hahaha! This little girl is really pretty. She'll definitely be worth a lot of money if she's sold as a slave."

"Hey, that woman over there is pretty good too—why don't you arrest her?"

"Huh? She is indeed quite good-looking, but she's old, not that valuable. Aren't we going to the dueling arena? Bringing this kind of cargo along will probably affect the subsequent battles, right?"

"Idiot! What's the point of going to the dueling arena? Didn't you see? Even the monsters of the twelve constellations have come. The strongest army of the Iron Kingdom couldn't even last three seconds before they were all wiped out."

"Yes, we definitely won't be able to steal that Caesar that our employer asked us to rob. We might as well grab a few more goods to make up for the losses!"

She watched as several pirates grinned and headed towards the woman, and heard the girl they were holding hostage crying out, "Mother, run!"

"Shania, Sarah."

The toy chef struggled.

As a toy, the physical damage was insufficient to make him lose consciousness.

So even though it was now split in two, its upper body still struggled to crawl forward, trying to stop the pirates: "Don't hurt them!"

Although they no longer remember it, and although they have formed new families.

But it remembers—before it was turned into a toy, it was his wife and daughter!

He remembered his wife's smile and the warm touch of holding his daughter.

That was the only solace it still had after becoming a toy.

But the next moment...
"Huh? This toy is still alive—by the way, how are these toys made in this country?"

It was then stepped on by a pirate.

"What a pity, I heard that this thing can only exist in Dressrosa, otherwise it would be a rare commodity if taken out."

The pirate grinned maliciously as he raised his giant hammer: "As for now... I'll just smash you to death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the giant hammer in his hand came crashing down.

Despair arose in the chef toy's heart.

It had clearly decided to use everything it had to protect them.

But in the end, just like back then, they were helplessly turned into toys.

"Still... unable to do it?"

It thought so.

But the next moment...
Accompanied by a roaring sound.

The chef's toy then saw a giant stick sweeping down from the sky.

The pirate was blasted away along with his hammer—judging from the twisted arc of his body, he was clearly not going to survive.

"Um!?"

Then, the other pirates who heard the sound also stopped their evil deeds.

They instinctively turned their heads, and then they saw it.
“Da!” “Da!”

The figure carrying a stick slung across his shoulder and wearing a monkey-face mask slowly walked out.

"Shen Shen Monkey!?"

"How is that possible—wasn't he near Gate 5?"

As a result, they were so shaken that they could barely stand.

Why would such important figures from the twelve zodiac signs appear before insignificant people like them?
"Wait a moment, we'll be leaving right away—you."

What they want to say.

But
"Crack!"

The next moment, they heard the sounds of machinery and engines.

"boom!"

A moment later, the figure of the 'Shen Monkey' with its golden eyes appeared before them.

But the key point is that—only now did the pirates clearly notice.

The 'Shenhou' that appeared before them at this moment was clearly not made of flesh and blood.

Quite the opposite.

Its body even showed a metallic luster.

"What are you, you bastard?"

The pirates were too shocked to finish their words.

In the next instant, golden light burst forth from the eyes of the 'Shenhou', and the iron rod in its hand was already swung out.

A moment later, all that remained were the pirates' corpses, sliced apart by lasers and flattened by iron bars.

"."

Seeing this, the mother and daughter, who had survived the ordeal, stared wide-eyed at the 'Shenhou' in front of them.

But before they could even speak, they saw Shenhou in front of them change shape in the next instant.

Smoke rose up, and a beam of light seemed to shoot out from within the body of 'Shenhou'.

A moment later, to the astonishment of the mother and daughter, it transformed into a single strand of hair, fluttered to the ground, and then vanished without a trace.

"Mother. This...this is..."

Seeing this, the girl named 'Shania' was somewhat bewildered.

And clearly, her mother couldn't understand what had happened either.

But a moment later.
"boom!"

A sound coming from another direction instantly caught their attention.

They instinctively turned their heads and saw—in the distance, accompanied by a cloud of dust, another 'monkey' leaped out of the dust and blasted a group of pirates away.

"That Lord Shenhou, no... there's more than one?"

Then, they instantly realized the incredible truth.

But clearly, Sarah, as a mother, reacted quickly at this moment.

"Quick! While that Lord Shenhou is helping us, let's hurry to the dueling arena!"

She pulled her daughter up, looked at the approaching 'birdcage' behind her, and made the right choice.

"Wait, Mother."

Shania naturally understood her mother's meaning.

But at this moment, she gritted her teeth and dragged her equally injured body to the chef toy that had been cut in half.

She hugged the toy chef to her chest and said firmly, "I'm going to take Mr. Chef with me."

“Hmm.” Upon hearing her words, her mother looked at the toy that had been cut in half to protect them.

She smiled slightly: "Let's go together."

And the situation is similar to that of Shania's family.

This is not an isolated case in Dressrosa at this moment.

"No! Unbelievable! So many 'Shen Monkeys,' so many! Is that also that person's ability!?"

"He's appearing everywhere in Dressrosa—those scum who gave up the game and started burning, killing, and looting are being dealt with at an alarming rate!"

On the big screen, the commentator Gaz's voice explained what was happening at that moment.

Yes.

At this moment, throughout Dressrosa...

No matter where, as long as it's in front of the evil gang that is burning, killing, looting and committing atrocities.

A 'Shen Monkey' will appear out of nowhere.

Although their strength is clearly far inferior to that of the real 'Shen Monkey', they still possess overwhelming power.

Their bodies seemed to be made of steel, and they were equipped with various technological weapons. The combination of iron rods and lasers in their hands was enough to instantly kill most of the troublemakers.

After cleaning up an area, they would disappear as a strand of hair, and in their place, another 'Shen Monkey' would appear in another place.

[Weapon Changes - Germa Technology - Autonomous Robots]

【Homie Manufacturing - Hair】

The combination of these two elements is what appears in Dressrosa at this moment.

【Monkey Hair Homie - An Alien】

And just as Gaz's almost broken voice screamed at that moment.

"He is single-handedly suppressing the unrest in the entire country!"

"Is this the power of the 'Twelve Zodiac Signs'!?"

"What incredible ability is this?"

Meanwhile, somewhere in Dressrosa.

"They actually managed to do something like that."

The man who had just put on the mask was taken aback and put down the armor in his hand.

The man's face was covered in white hair and beard, indicating that he was quite old, but his muscles were still bulging.

He is 'Riku Dalton III', the former king of this country who was forced to abdicate due to Doflamingo's machinations and manipulation.

Beside him stood a beautiful woman with long, dark brown hair, dressed in a dance dress.

She is an assassin for the Doflamingo family, codenamed 'Violet'.

But her other identity is that of Violet, the daughter of King Riku and the former princess of this country.

"Father, since that's the case, you should hide yourself quickly."

"Doflamingo must have a conspiracy to do something like this; he might be trying to capture you."

She said this with some concern.

“No, Violet, you don’t have to say that.”

But after hearing her words, King Riku shook his head: "You and I both know that Doflamingo's plan this time is not for me—I am not qualified."

“He never cared about my hatred, much less would he make a plan of this magnitude for me.”

He said it with a self-deprecating laugh.

Violet remained silent after hearing this.

Of course she knew that her father was right.

Doflamingo didn't care about the former king he had overthrown—or rather, he didn't consider King Riku an 'opponent'.

In Doflamingo's eyes, he was more like a 'toy'.

So, in that conspiracy a few years ago, Doflamingo chose to spare King Riku because Violet was willing to join the Donquixote Family—not because Violet was anything special, but simply because he enjoyed watching the ants beg for mercy.

"To exchange one's own daughter for the enemy's life, sounds like an interesting deal."

He spared King Riku simply for 'fun'.

Doflamingo, who once loved everything about this country, was reduced to wandering among the common people after losing everything. He watched as the people cursed him and unknowingly marched towards destruction. He enjoyed the pleasure of toying with others.

He certainly wouldn't set up a conspiracy and trap of this magnitude for a toy.

"This conspiracy is either aimed at the 'Beasts' or the 'Twelve Constellations.' Violet, the information you unexpectedly learned is quite important."

King Riku said in a deep voice, "Ignore me and go tell the information to those who should know—it seems that the Twelve Constellations are relatively trustworthy."

"Then you."

Violet, on the other hand, was looking at her father.

“Me? I am a sinner of the kingdom.”

At this moment, King Riku slowly put the armor he had just put down back on.

"In the past, due to my ignorance and weakness, the people suffered such calamities."

“I can’t hide, Violet—I have nowhere to hide.”

Yes, in fact, he had already planned to put on his armor and head to the battlefield.

He knew he couldn't save all the people with his power, but he could at least save a few.

And now.
"That Lord Shenhou single-handedly suppressed the country's unrest."

"I don't have his strength."

He clenched his fists, looking at the devastated kingdom in the distance, the people fleeing towards the dueling arena, and the ever-shrinking 'birdcage' behind them.

He has lived weakly in this country for several years.

Now, he no longer wants to be that pirate's 'plaything'.

"In times of crisis, the king should stand with the people."

He's going to the dueling arena.

"I will go to protect my people, or perish with them."

That was a king’s duty—even though he had long since been dethroned.

But it was precisely at this moment.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your father-daughter conversation."

A voice suddenly rang in the ears of the father and daughter.

"who!?"

The father and daughter immediately became alert.

They turned their heads instantly.

Then, Violet and King Riku's bodies instantly froze.
