Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

He had no time to care about anything else now; he only wanted to freeze Violet completely before she could see through his heart.

However, just as Aokiji's "Freeze Capsule" was about to freeze Violet, who was using her Devil Fruit ability, along the ground, a huge figure wearing a cross-shaped helmet stepped in front of Violet.

Pica is a user of the Devil Fruit "Stone-Stone Fruit," which grants her the power to fuse with and manipulate rocks.

At this moment, standing in front of Violet, he reached his hand to the ground and activated his Devil Fruit ability, causing the ground to deform drastically. This created a huge stone wall in front of them, perfectly blocking Aokiji's "Time Capsule".

It must be said that although Pica's strength is far inferior to Doflamingo's, in terms of his role in the fight against Aokiji, Pica's role may be greater than Doflamingo's.

The power of the "Ice-Ice Fruit" is definitely among the top, even among Logia-type Devil Fruit abilities.

After all, even if the people in the pirate world have the strongest vitality, there is a limit to the temperature that a living being's body can withstand.

Once the body temperature drops below the survival temperature, even the most powerful person will die.

Chapter 583 Aokiji: My secret has been seen through?!

"It seems that our Mr. Aokiji is hiding a big secret that he doesn't want us to know."

"Violet, what did you see? Tell us so we can see what brings this former admiral to Dressressa."

Upon hearing Doflamingo's words, Violet slowly lowered her hands. At this moment, Violet was trying her best to calm herself down, and then said calmly, "Young Master, Aokiji was indeed sent by the Ancient Weapon Wood."

Aokiji was sent to Dressressa as an advance operative with the intention of sabotaging our factory, preventing us from fulfilling Kaido's order, and thus losing his support.

Although Aokiji knew from the Ancient Weapon Wood that we were manufacturing artificial Devil Fruits, he didn't know the exact location of our factory. Therefore, he planned to infiltrate it, but we discovered him beforehand.

When Doflamingo heard what Violet said, he showed a hint of surprise, but he quickly recovered.

The matter of artificial Devil Fruits was a secret even within the Donquixote Family, and Doflamingo had no idea where Wood had gotten the information.

But when Doflamingo thought that Wood was also one of the big shots in the underworld, and that if he paid a little attention to the source of those Devil Fruits flowing into the underworld, he could soon trace it back to him, he was no longer surprised.

However, what Doflamingo didn't know was that among the people present, there were two others who were even more surprised than him.

One of them is Aokiji, whose secret was seen through, and the other is Violet, who saw through Aokiji's secret.

Aokiji's horse-like face remained as listless as ever, as if he could never muster any motivation. However, in reality, his inner self was not as calm as it appeared.

Aokiji didn't think Violet's "Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit" ability was a charade, because the feeling of being completely seen through just now was undeniable.

That's why Aokiji was surprised at this moment, because the things he was hiding in his heart had undoubtedly been seen through by the Donquixote executive named Violet, but the information that Violet told Doflamingo was beyond Aokiji's expectations.

Did Violet lie? She didn't lie, but she concealed a great deal of the truth.

Of what Violet just told Doflamingo, only about 20% is true, and the remaining 80% is false, with a lot of her own biased information mixed in.

It's true that Aokiji came to this island under orders from Wood, and he was indeed preparing to infiltrate and investigate the truth of the island.

However, Aokiji knew nothing about artificial Devil Fruits and factories beforehand, and he wasn't part of the vanguard, as Dark Island only sent him; there were no others behind him.

Aokiji didn't understand why Violet was lying, but it was clear that he couldn't reveal his purpose or expose Violet now; she might even be an ally.

While Aokiji's current state of mind can only be described as surprise, Violet, the instigator who just saw through Aokiji's inner secrets, is now experiencing a truly turbulent emotional state.

That's right, thanks to the power of the "Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit," Violet had indeed seen through Aokiji's purpose and secret. After a brief moment of shock, all Violet felt was delight.

She was originally the princess of Dressresreza. Only after learning that the royal family had been replaced by Doflamingo and the Donquixote Family did she infiltrate the royal family in order to collect evidence and prove to the people Doflamingo's ugly face.

However, as the years went by, to be honest, even Violet herself was close to giving up.

Because of her "Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit" ability, Violet discovered many secrets, but these secrets were known only to her. Now, the entire Dressrosa is filled with Doflamingo's die-hard fans, so even if she told the truth, no one might believe her.

Violet wanted to gather evidence, but the Don Quixote family's senior executives were extremely cautious, even within the family, and did everything meticulously.

Even if she gathered enough evidence, Violet didn't know how she, alone and outnumbered, could turn the tide against the powerful Doflamingo and the entire Donquixote Family.

Seeking the Navy's assistance? Having infiltrated the Donquixote Family for many years, Violet is well aware of Doflamingo's power; he even has connections within the World Government. It would be far too difficult to bring him down with only some limited evidence.

Revealing Doflamingo's true colors directly to the people of Dressressa would only plunge them all into death.

As for pirate forces, not to mention Violet's belief that all pirates on the high seas are equally corrupt and there are no trustworthy individuals among them.

Even if Violet were willing to believe in pirates, how many pirate crews on this vast ocean would dare to provoke Doflamingo and the Donquixote Family?

The opponent is a "Shichibukai" (one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea), who not only has the backing of a Yonko (Four Emperors) pirate crew, but also has connections with the World Government and the underworld. Looking across the entire sea, there are very few pirate crews that are qualified to go toe-to-toe with Doflamingo.

Besides the Navy and pirates, there was also the Revolutionary Army that she could seek help from, but Violet didn't know anyone in the Revolutionary Army, so even if she wanted to ask for help, she had no way to do so.

Under such circumstances, Violet, who had been an undercover agent in the Don Quixote family for many years, eventually began to lose heart, because the possibility of revenge was too slim.

Even today, Violet has rekindled her hope by using the power of the "Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit" to see through Aokiji's inner secrets!

Violet wasn't concerned about Aokiji's staged act with Akainu or his undercover work at "Wood Weapons Company." What pleased her was that Aokiji had come to investigate Doflamingo's evil deeds and genuinely wanted to help people in Dressres. That was enough for her!

The battle between Aokiji and the Donquixote Family ultimately ended inconclusively because Aokiji retreated first.

Even though Doflamingo used the awakened power of his Devil Fruit in this battle, and the other Donquixote Family executives did their best, they still failed to capture Aokiji.

The former Marine Admiral's strength was undeniable. Even though Doflamingo was an extremely rare Devil Fruit user who had awakened his powers, he still struggled considerably against Aokiji.

In this battle, Aokiji did not actually use his full strength. Considering the impact he had on Punk Hazard when he fought Akainu, if he went all out against the Donquixote Family, Dressres would basically be finished.

Unlike Punk Hazard, Dressressa is a prosperous kingdom in the New World with a considerable population. If he were to engage in a full-blown battle with the Donquixote Family, countless people on the island would inevitably die.

This went against Aokiji's sense of justice and was not his original goal, so Aokiji made a concession before the battle reached its climax.

While Doflamingo and his crew wanted to keep Aokiji, no one in the entire ocean dared to claim that they could forcibly keep a top-tier fighter from the headquarters who wanted to leave.

On the evening of the second day, on a small reef island far off the coast of Dressressa, a slender figure dressed entirely in a black robe appeared.

The other figure that appeared under the moonlight was none other than the horse-faced former naval admiral Aokiji, who had just fought a fierce battle with the Donquixote Family during the day.

"I am very grateful to Admiral Aokiji for believing in me and for coming here to meet me."

Let me introduce myself first. Actually, my name isn't Violet, but Violet. I'm a princess from the former kingdom of Dressressa.

Upon hearing Violet's identity, Aokiji was clearly taken aback for a moment, and then he understood why Violet hadn't exposed him before.

"When I was nineteen, my father, Riku Dold III, was captured by the Donquixote Pirates when they entered the Dressrosa Palace because of Doflamingo's Devil Fruit power.

To save my father's life, I had no choice but to join the Don Quixote Family and become Violet, the Don Quixote Family's dancer assassin.

"During my years with the Donquixote Family, I have come to understand Doflamingo's schemes and everything he did."

However, being outnumbered and outmatched, I was utterly powerless against Doflamingo. This is why, even knowing I was the former princess of the kingdom, Doflamingo still turned a blind eye to my plight.

"I already knew about Aokiji's purpose and reasons for coming to Dressressa through the power of the Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit."

And I can tell you with certainty that all the missing people in Dressressa, and the incident ten years ago when the King of Dressressa went mad, were all the work of Doflamingo.

"I cannot defeat Doflamingo and expose his conspiracy on my own, so I would like to ask for your help, Admiral Aokiji."

After saying such a long thing, Violet bowed deeply to Aokiji, pleading for his help.

Over the past decade, Violet has truly endured a great deal. Even though she knows the whole truth and her enemy is right in front of her, she is utterly powerless to take revenge.

Now that Aokiji has come to Dressressa, and his purpose does not conflict with her request, but can even be considered to be aligned with it, Violet naturally wants to seize this hard-won opportunity.

"Besides my purpose and plans for coming to Dressressa, you must have seen something else, right?"

Upon hearing Aokiji's sudden question, Violet's body shuddered involuntarily, whether from the chill emanating from Aokiji or from her own fright.

However, after hesitating for a while, Violet finally nodded honestly and said, "I did see some other secrets, but it was not intentional on my part."

And please believe me, Admiral Aokiji, I will absolutely not mention these things to anyone else.

"If... if Admiral Aokiji truly doesn't trust me, then killing me here is acceptable. But I hope you can fulfill my final wish: expose Doflamingo's conspiracy and restore Dressressa to its former state."

His infiltration of "Wood Weapons Company" was an absolute secret, even within the Navy Headquarters. He had even lost a leg for it, so Aokiji naturally didn't want such a secret to be made public.

Looking at Violet in front of him, Aokiji raised his hand high several times, but in the end, he had no choice but to lower it.

If it were Akainu, Violet would probably be a pile of ashes by now. Only the dead can keep secrets, especially on this treacherous sea.

Akainu could kill Violet without hesitation, but Aokiji couldn't do the same. Their sense of "justice" was different. Aokiji couldn't bring himself to kill an innocent person, especially a woman who had suffered a tragic fate.

"Sigh... I'll just believe what you say for now. As for Doflamingo and Donquixote, I need to find out where those missing people are before I can decide to turn against them."

There's another matter. After I help you expose Doflamingo's conspiracy and reclaim Dressressa, I hope you can do me a favor as well.

"It's a very simple favor: use your Devil Fruit powers to help me see into someone's heart."

Aokiji sighed deeply, ultimately deciding not to harm Violet, the former princess of Dressressa, but instead choosing to cooperate with her and outlining his own terms.

As for the person Aokiji wanted her to see through using his "Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit" ability, Violet had already guessed it even though Aokiji didn't say it.

This is not hard to guess, because after learning Aokiji's true identity, his purpose in joining "Wood Weapons Company" is almost common knowledge.

The power of the "Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit" is not invincible. First, when spying on someone, if that person is strong, it is easy for them to notice, just like Aokiji did before.

Ancient Weapon Wood is one of the strongest warriors on the sea. Using the power of the "Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit," he can see into the hearts of others, and there is no doubt that he cannot hide anything from them.

Using the power of the "Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit" on such a powerful individual would undoubtedly result in the opponent striking them deadly! After all, no one likes having their secrets in the hands of others, especially those powerful figures.

Ancient Weapon Wood is someone even Doflamingo fears. If she wanted to kill him, probably no one could protect her, not even Aokiji.

So, the condition Aokiji proposed was basically sending Violet to her death.

However, even though she knew that spying on Wood would be extremely dangerous, Violet ultimately agreed to Aokiji's condition.

Because she had no choice. If she rejected Aokiji, the outcome would be just as bad, or even worse.
