One Piece: Starting with Creating the Strongest Character Design

Port of Mignon Island.

The Navy had already deployed two warships here to monitor the Barreus Pirates.

Now, having received information from Kitahara Tsune about the loss of the Ope Ope no Mi (Operation Fruit), Vice Admiral Tsuru immediately came here from the vicinity of Kaien Island.

Shortly after Vice Admiral Tsuru's fleet arrived at the port, they saw the white line that stretched out from the center of the island and covered the entire island.

"Doflamingo!"

Lieutenant General Tsuru squinted at the birdcage that illuminated the entire island.

She had never seen this move before, but it was definitely one of Doflamingo's techniques.

She had been hunting down the Donquixote Family for a long time, so she naturally knew that Doflamingo was a user of the String-String Fruit.

Coincidentally, Vice Admiral Tsuru is also a Devil Fruit user; the Devil Fruit she ate was the "Wash Wash Fruit."

In a sense, her Wash-Wash Fruit is a perfect counter to Doflamingo's String-String Fruit.

"Lieutenant General Tsuru, what should we do? This white line is too hard, we can't get it in at all, and we'll get hurt if we touch it."

The navy officers stationed at the port saw Vice Admiral He disembark from the ship and immediately reported to their superiors.

Lieutenant General Tsuru did not answer the question, but instead asked:

"How many people are on the island now? How many sailors are still in those cages?"

The naval officer who was reporting glanced back at the number of people, silently counted in his mind, and reported to his superior: "The exact number of people on the island is not yet clear, but there are probably four or five naval squads still in this cage."

Vice Admiral Tsuru knew in his heart that something was wrong, as he was well aware of Doflamingo's vicious and cruel nature.

Without even thinking, she knew that the other party would use the parasitic thread to control everyone on the island, regardless of their identity, and make them kill each other.

With that thought in mind, Lieutenant General Tsuru walked toward the thin white line blocking their way.

Without any fancy moves, she simply stretched out her hand, and the white thread, so hard that even a renowned sword couldn't cut it, transformed in her hand into soft white silk, instantly becoming incredibly smooth, like freshly washed clothes.

"This is?"

The navy personnel standing nearby were astonished by what they saw.

"This is my Devil Fruit power, the Wash-Wash Fruit, which can temporarily alter the structure of objects, turning them into something like washed clothes."

Lieutenant General Tsuru explained something, then said to those around him,

"You few come with me inside to investigate, the rest of you stay here."

"Also, send some people to see if there are any other ports on the island."

"We can't let Doflamingo take the Op-Op Fruit."

Yes, in Vice Admiral Tsuru's view, the theft of the Op-Op Fruit was mostly caused by Doflamingo.

Before entering the birdcage, Lieutenant General Crane specifically instructed, "Don't follow me in. There are invisible threads inside that will control you."

The marines she took with her all possessed basic Armament Haki and were able to resist Doflamingo's parasite strings.

Above, not far from the port.

The propellers on Buffalo's body kept spinning, generating power that allowed him to float in the air.

Baby-5 sat on his back, observing the navy in the distance through binoculars.

"The navy has moved! We must hurry back and report to the young master!" Baby5 shouted.

"Okay, let's go," Buffalo replied, turning and flying towards Ghost Town.

……

Meanwhile, in the mountains near Ghost Town.

Many pirates who saw the white line in the sky covering the entire island had already ignored their captain's orders and hidden themselves.

Many of them knew that the navy was stationed in the port, but with their boss's assurance and the lure of 50 billion Berries, they disregarded their own safety and chose to stay on the island.

However, ever since their leader's Operation Fruit was stolen, they have been thinking about escaping.

However, they were later frightened by the thin white lines, thinking it was a naval tactic, and they all hid in the mountains, trying to escape the disaster.

However, these fleeing pirates are now blocked by stone spikes, unable to move forward or backward.

"What the hell is this?"

"The mountain, the mountain is moving!"

The pirates were all terrified.

First, the Op-Op Fruit was stolen, then thin white lines appeared in the sky, and finally, even the mountains that were supposed to be stationary started to move!

"What on earth happened?"

Just as these pirates were about to lose their nerve from fear, an enormous figure appeared outside the stone spikes that had imprisoned them.

"Do you guys know where the Op-Op Fruit is?"

At first, the pirates didn't know who was making the sound.

After realizing that it was the tall man who made the sound, they couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Damn it! I'm going to bury you all alive with rocks!"

Hearing those people dare to mock him, Pica was instantly enraged and directly controlled the stone spikes to pierce through the person who was laughing the loudest.

Seeing the miserable state of the people in front of them, the people who were being controlled instantly changed from smiling faces to bitter faces.

"I dare not laugh anymore. What's wrong? Tell me, and I'll tell you everything!"

"Where exactly are the fruits of surgery?"

Pica's shrill female voice rang out again.

The pirates couldn't help but laugh again.

"Damn it! How dare you play me! Die!"

Hearing that annoying laughter, Pica manipulated the stone spikes, and this time he wiped out everyone.

What he hates most is the sound of people laughing at him.

"Hmph~" Pica snorted coldly and burrowed underground.

He is a user of the Stone-Stone Fruit, which allows him to merge his entire being into a stone and to control and change its shape to a certain extent.

Pica's enormous body moved rapidly across the mountainside.

Suddenly, a figure dressed in black feather robes appeared in his sight.

"Huh? Is that Corazon?"

"What is he doing here?"

Pica was surprised. Shouldn't Corazon be waiting on Seagull Island to meet them?

"Young Master suspects him of being a traitor. Could it be that he's the one who took the Op-Op Fruit?!"

With that thought in mind, Pica moved quickly, preparing to subdue the other party.

"What's coming?"

Kitahara Tsune was on his way to Ghost Town.

Corazon's hiding place was far from the center, even separated by a mountain.

He simply couldn't imagine how the other person could have run such a long distance after being shot.

Just as he was preparing to travel despite his exhaustion, a series of keywords, including "fearless in the face of danger," suddenly gave him a warning.

Then, an unfamiliar aura suddenly appeared in his Observation Haki.

Unsure of the other party's situation, Kitahara Tsune flashed and appeared in mid-air the next second.

The ground where he had just been standing was now replaced by two protruding stone spikes.

If he had stood still, those two stone spikes would have pierced through his legs.

Seeing that the sneak attack had failed, Pica slowly emerged from the ground.

"Corazon doesn't fly."

He said in that shrill female voice, "You're not Corazon, who are you?"
