Chapter 329: The Great Hero's "Servants"!

In the vibrant underground forest plaza.

The Tontatta Tribe, who had been immersed in their fanatical worship of the hero "Uso-land," suddenly fell silent as a few uninvited guests barged in.

The eyes of all the Tontatta warriors were focused on Franky, who was walking at the rear.

Seeing that massive steel body and those exaggerated mechanical arms, these little sprites who had never seen a cyborg before immediately caused quite a stir.

"Is that a monster?"

"What a terrifying iron man!"

In the crowd, the straightforward guard captain Leo showed no fear.

He puffed out his tiny chest and suddenly raised the spear in his hand—as sharp as an embroidery needle—glaring warily at Franky and Zoro:

"Halt! Who are you!"

"How dare you trespass into our Tontatta Kingdom and even disturb the coronation ceremony of the great Lord Uso-land!"

Just as Wicca, standing to the side, was about to quickly explain to everyone that these two were also rebel allies who had come to help...

Usopp, sitting high atop the giant flower throne, had his eyes dart around as he recognized the newcomers.

Before Wicca could speak, he let out a burst of majestic and confident laughter.

Usopp cleared his throat, gave his long red cape a vigorous flick, and announced loudly to those below:

"My dear subjects!"

"Please, do not panic!"

"As the legendary great hero, descending upon this land filled with peril, it is only natural that I would not come alone!"

"Those strange-looking fellows are not suspicious enemies."

"They are all my... my most loyal servants!"

"Pfft—!"

At the sound of the incredible word "servants,"

Chopper and Brook, who had been riding on Usopp's coattails on either side of the throne, immediately lost their composure.

Chopper clutched his furry belly and rolled around laughing on the soft petals, tears streaming from his eyes:

"Servants... Hahahaha! Zoro actually became a servant!"

Brook also threw his head back ungracefully, one hand clutching his ribs, laughing until his entire skeleton creaked and rattled:

"Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho!"

"Mr. Zoro has become Mr. Usopp's lackey servant!"

Hearing that the two steel monsters and the swordsman were actually the great hero's lackeys, the Tontatta Tribe members present first fell into a brief silence.

Then, in their simplicity, they didn't harbor the slightest doubt about this ridiculous claim; instead, they erupted into a burst of fanatical cheering:

"Ohhhh! So amazing!"

"As expected of the legendary hero, Lord Uso-land!"

"Even such terrifying steel monsters are willing to be his servants!"

"Uso-land! Uso-land! Uso-land!"

Amidst the earth-shaking cheers, Franky silently turned his head and glanced at the one-legged soldier, Kyros, standing beside him.

Kyros's painted toy face was full of helplessness.

He shook his head weakly at Franky, feeling a deep headache over the Tontatta Tribe's gullible nature.

Meanwhile, Zoro, standing on the other side, had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

The corner of his mouth twitched violently as he fought back the strong urge to draw his sword, rush up, and slice that boastful long-nosed "king" in two.

After this lively farce, the members of the Straw Hat crew finally successfully reunited deep underground.

Taking advantage of the gap while the Tontatta members were still singing and dancing around the throne and not paying attention, Usopp quickly slipped down from the flower.

He scurried over to Zoro and Franky, pressed his hands together, winked frantically at them, and pleaded in a low voice with teary eyes:

"Please, please! Zoro, Franky!"

"Whatever you do, don't expose me in front of these little guys!"

"If they find out I'm lying, they'll strip me naked and throw me into the sea to feed the Fighting Fish!"

"I'm begging you, please just play along!"

Looking at Usopp's comical state, Zoro and Franky glanced at each other.

Though they were completely speechless, they ultimately sighed in resignation and decided not to expose his lie for the time being.

The coronation ceremony finally came to a close.

Kyros stepped forward with a solemn expression and spread a complex hand-drawn map across a flat rock.

He was about to discuss the detailed infiltration battle plan with everyone, exploring how to avoid the eyes and ears of the Donquixote Family.

"Bulu-bulu-bulu... kacha."

Just then, the rapid ringing of a Den Den Mushi broke the serious atmosphere.

Franky opened the hidden metal hatch on his chest and connected the communication Den Den Mushi.

As soon as the call connected, Nami's voice came through with a hint of urgency.

"Franky, can you hear me?"

"We just got some critical intel!"

"The SMILE Underground Factory we've been looking for isn't in the town at all; it's hidden right beneath the Corrida Colosseum!"

Then, Nami's tone became somewhat anxious and helpless as she asked loudly:

"By the way, have you found Zoro, Usopp, and the others?"

"Robin, Sanji, and I searched all over town, and we didn't see a trace of them! Where on earth did those idiots go!"

Hearing the Navigator's complaints, Franky let out a hearty laugh and replied:

"SUPER—don't worry, Nami!"

"Those troublesome guys are all right here with me, alive and kicking."

Then, Franky stopped laughing, and his expression turned serious.

He relayed what he had just heard from the Tontatta Tribe and Kyros about the dark history hidden beneath this nation's superficial prosperity.

He also informed Nami and Robin over the phone about the threat of Sugar, the Hobi Hobi no Mi ability user who could turn people into toys and erase all memories of their existence.

Upon hearing this, Nami and Robin on the other end of the line both gasped.

Erasing all traces of a person's existence in the world was a power far more cruel and terrifying than simply killing them.

Since the objective was now clear, both parties immediately agreed over the phone:

To give up aimlessly searching for information in town.

The entire crew would head straight to the Corrida Colosseum in the center of town to rendezvous with Luffy and Tatsuya and concentrate their forces for action.

With a "kacha" sound, the call ended.

Watching Franky put away the Den Den Mushi, Usopp's show-off heart began to stir again.

He spun around suddenly, hands on his hips, and announced loudly with a laugh to the curious Tontatta members around him:

"My subjects!"

"Did you all hear that!"

"That call just now was also from one of this hero's excellent subordinates stationed outside in advance!"

"They did not disappoint and have brought us the most critical intel for this battle!"

Under the worshipful gazes of the Tontatta Tribe, Usopp stood up abruptly.

Facing the faint underground light, his long red cape fluttered in the wind behind him.

He extended a finger, pointing overhead with overwhelming momentum, and commanded loudly:

"Now, the enemy's lair has been exposed, and the objective is clear!"

"My loyal subjects, move out!"

"Toward the evil factory beneath the Colosseum, march!"

Hearing this soul-stirring command, the anger and fighting spirit suppressed within the Tontatta warriors for many years were completely ignited.

Hundreds of Tontatta warriors raised their mini spears and weapons high, their fanatical shouts echoing through the underground space like a tsunami:

"Ohhhh! Overthrow Doflamingo! Rescue our comrades!"

"Follow the great Lord Uso-land! Charge!!!"

Looking at the underground rebel army boiling over in an instant, and then looking back at the Straw Hat crew members bickering nearby.

Kyros, the one-legged soldier who had been standing by the rock, watched it all quietly.

He looked down at the map in his hand, which was originally filled with dense, tedious, and cautious steps for an infiltration plan.

Kyros sighed helplessly and then slowly rolled up the map he had spent so much effort on.

Looking at this group of companions filled with incredible charisma.

A smile slowly appeared on his mechanical face.

Perhaps, facing Doflamingo's iron-clad rule,

with the addition of these pirates who didn't play by the rules and were full of miracles,

abandoning those overly cautious plans and choosing the most direct frontal breakthrough was the best tactic to overthrow this darkness.
