Naruto: Copy System

Sugar might have the appearance and mind of a little girl, but she was deceptively powerful.

In the original story, she almost took out the entire Straw Hat crew. If Usopp hadn’t scared her into fainting at the last second, Luffy and the others would have been finished.

So yeah, Sugar was a force to be reckoned with. Even a monster like Kaido would be turned into a toy if she managed to touch him.

“System, copy the Hobby-Hobby Fruit’s ability.”

Shin mentally commanded. It had been over a decade since the system last gave him a mission, but he hadn’t forgotten it. Without it, he never would have reached this level.

[Consuming one Divine Replication Card. Hobby-Hobby Fruit successfully replicated.]

The system’s mechanical voice chimed in his head. Besides the yearly gift card, it was a sound he rarely heard.

With the Hobby-Hobby Fruit’s ability now his, Shin needed a test subject. His eyes instinctively landed on Doflamingo.

‘Hmm, Doflamingo would make a perfect test subject… but then again, he’s still making me money. Better not…’

“…” Doflamingo felt a sudden chill, a sense of deep unease.

Shin abandoned the idea. After all, he was getting half of all the money Doflamingo made.

Without lifting a finger, Shin was raking in half the profits that Doflamingo worked his ass off to earn.

“Alright, let’s go—” Shin said, glancing at Doflamingo before leading Hancock and the others away.

Of course, they didn’t leave Dressrosa. He wanted to look around for a bit.

Seeing Shin’s calm expression, Doflamingo started to panic. He had heard Monet’s words.

Was he really going to let Shin take Sugar? She was crucial to his operations here. The original royal family of Dressrosa and their soldiers had all been turned into toys, controlled by Sugar to serve the Donquixote Family.

If Sugar left, who would control them?

The Hobby-Hobby Fruit’s power couldn’t possibly work over an infinite distance, right?

But looking at Shin, Doflamingo ultimately kept his mouth shut.

What if Shin decided to kill him? He knew he wasn’t that valuable in Shin’s eyes.

He was smart enough to know that much. He had ambition, but he wasn’t about to let it get him killed.

So he just watched them leave.

Shin, in turn, was impressed by his intelligence. If Doflamingo had tried to stop him, he would have been turned into a toy on the spot.

“Sugar.”

Shin walked over to the girl, who didn’t seem at all afraid of him. He smiled. “From now on, you’re part of my crew. You’ll listen to me, understand?”

Sugar glanced at her sister, who gave her a subtle nod. Sugar then nodded at Shin.

She might be mischievous, but with Monet around, Shin wasn’t worried about her causing trouble. Besides, her own combat ability was pathetic. Even with an overpowered Devil Fruit, she couldn’t do much with it.

The Hobby-Hobby Fruit was only dangerous in the hands of a master. If you couldn’t even touch your opponent, how were you going to turn them into a toy?

“And one more thing,” Shin said. “On my ship, you don’t turn people into toys. If you do, I’ll turn you into a toy. Like this.”

As he spoke, he tapped Sugar, and she instantly transformed into a small teddy bear. She could still speak and think, but her body was now completely under his control.

“You can turn people into toys too??” Sugar’s voice came out, muffled by the fabric.

“Of course. If you don’t behave, this is what will happen to you,” Shin threatened.

With the mind of a ten-year-old, Sugar was easily scared. She started trembling.

“I’ll be good! I promise!” she squeaked.

“Don’t bully my sister,” Monet said, looking at Shin with annoyance.

“Oh? How about I turn you into a toy instead? A little snow-woman doll, maybe?” Shin said with a grin, reaching for her.

Monet’s eyes widened in fear.

“No, wait! If you have to bully someone, just bully my sister! Leave me out of it!” she yelped.

“Are you really her sister?” Shin asked, completely deadpan. It seemed Monet was more interested in messing with her own sibling.

He then released his power, and Sugar returned to her normal form.

“Hmph.” Sugar glared, not at Shin, but at Monet. She was pissed that her own sister had sold her out so quickly.

Monet just smiled. Isn’t that what little sisters are for? Besides, she knew Shin wouldn’t actually hurt Sugar. He was just scaring her. And she knew exactly how to handle Sugar. After buying her some grapes, Sugar’s anger vanished.

————

“See? So easy to deal with,” Monet said with a light laugh.

“Sugar’s ability is seriously dangerous,” Robin remarked. “If you didn’t know about it, you could easily get caught.”

In the original story, Robin had fallen victim to it. Her Devil Fruit ability made her particularly vulnerable.

“Yeah, you can’t underestimate any Devil Fruit user,” Olvia added cautiously.

Everyone said Logia fruits were the strongest, but when it came to weird, unpredictable powers, Paramecia types were in a league of their own.

Of course, the Hobby-Hobby Fruit had its own counter: the Dark-Dark Fruit, the bane of all Devil Fruit users.

“Let’s go,” Shin said, looking toward the city. “Let’s see how well Doflamingo has been running this place.”

He knew that as soon as he left with Sugar, all the toys in Dressrosa would likely turn back into people. He wondered how Doflamingo would handle that mess.

Then again, Doflamingo’s probably prepared for it. It shouldn’t be too hard for him to suppress them.
