Chapter 105: SMILE Factory Secured
Of course, Seba and Barry weren't just dancing—they were blending their power into a single, synchronized strike.
The fusion of their energy made their arms seem like one, and together they punched straight at Machvise, who was plummeting toward them like a living meteor.
> "Sebari Style: Level 3—Fusion Strike!"
Their combined blow—Seba's brute force and Barry's internal-soft energy—hit with devastating effect. First, Seba's power stopped Machvise's momentum briefly, despite the ten-thousand-ton weight, and then Barry's internal wave shock pulsed through his body.
BOOM!
Machvise was knocked clean out of the air, his colossal body crashing into the ground with a thunderous impact that shook the entire SMILE factory.
He smashed through the ground, leaving a crater more than ten meters deep. He didn't move again.
> "Huff..."
"Huff..."
The two brothers exhaled heavily, sweat pouring down their faces. Their teamwork had paid off—but it had taken everything they had.
Barry shook his numb right arm.
> "He was just one of Doflamingo's executives... and we're already in this state. We're still too weak."
> "Maybe. But we won." Seba smiled grimly.
"Still, this battle isn't over. Our mission isn't finished yet."
> "Right. We're here to capture the SMILE Factory."
The brothers nodded at each other and stepped into the factory's main entrance.

Inside, the brothers swept through the guards with ease until they were stopped in the main hall by a large woman with greasy hair, dark lipstick, and a grotesque sneer.
She was Kyuin, the SMILE factory supervisor, and she held a strange vacuum weapon.
> "So you're the brats who wrecked my precious factory?" she snarled, raising her vacuum cannon.
"Die!"
Vwooooom—!!
The weapon activated, unleashing a suction force that began to pull the brothers in.
> "Seba Style: Level 1 Heavy Fist!"
Seba struck forward before they were drawn in, landing a solid blow that sent Kyuin flying and interrupting the suction.
> "How dare you hit me!" Kyuin howled as she staggered up from the rubble, swinging the vacuum cleaner like a club.
"You're dead meat!"
> "Enemy or not, I won't go easy—even if you're a woman." Seba's expression turned serious. He reared back his arm, energy crackling around it.
"Seba Style: Level 2—Crushing Blow!"
CRASH!
Seba's punch obliterated the vacuum weapon and slammed into Kyuin's stomach, sending her crashing through several walls. She collapsed, completely unconscious.
> "Finally let off some steam!" Seba grinned, retracting his fist.
The brothers continued clearing out the factory, easily defeating the remaining guards. Once secure, they locked the doors and sat cross-legged at either side of the entrance.
A few moments later, Gambi arrived, his body still bruised from the earlier fight with Pica.
> "Looks like you two had a rough time too," he said, smiling.
> "We had our hands full," Barry said, chuckling.
The three sat in silence, guarding the SMILE factory—waiting for it to be turned over to the Revolutionary Army, just as Ace had ordered.

Meanwhile, South of Dressrosa — The SAD Factory
Kukai, Ganryu, and Fenamore arrived at the SAD factory, only to be blocked by two formidable enemies at the gate.
On one side was a chubby man in a pink baby outfit, sucking a pacifier—Senor Pink. On the other side stood a bald, elderly martial artist with a scarred head—Lao G.
Both were executives of the Donquixote Family.
> "Looks like we've got company," Kukai muttered, drawing his sword.
But Ganryu stopped him.
> "Leave them to Fenamore and me."
The two rushed forward—Fenamore engaged Senor Pink, while Ganryu faced off with Lao G.
Kukai broke off and headed into the factory alone, cutting open the doors with a clean strike.

Ganryu vs. Lao G
> "Old man, you shouldn't be imitating young people's fighting styles at your age. You ought to be retired," Ganryu said with a frown.
> "Hmph! Insolent brat!" Lao G roared.
> "The older you get, the more pain you feel… The more pain, the harder you strike! This is Jio-Ken! Brace yourself!"
Lao G adjusted his glasses and assumed a wide martial arts stance, forming a 'G' shape with his hands. He unleashed a flurry of fast, sharp strikes.
But Ganryu's long, flexible arms gave him an advantage—he blocked every attack with smooth, controlled movements.
> "Back Pain Pose!"
Lao G suddenly hunched over, then sprung up like a compressed spring.
> "Back Pain Style: Eye-Thrust Spiral!"
Spinning like a top, he launched rapid strikes aimed at Ganryu's eyes. But Ganryu's unorthodox limb flexibility allowed him to defend in angles that would be impossible for most fighters.
