Chapter 136 - Chapter 136: On the Eve of Usopp's Path to Godhood

The audience finally understood the reason behind Usopp being called "God."

Then, the sky screen's perspective shifted to Luffy.

〖In the video, the group that initially only had Luffy, Law, and Zoro grew significantly larger after being rescued by Cavendish and the others.

All the top-seeded contestants from the colosseum gathered and set out towards Doflamingo's location.

However, just as everyone was relaxing and bantering, the Donquixote Family executive Pica appeared again, attacking the group.

Luffy and the others quickly counterattacked, launching their strongest moves against Pica.

"King Punch!"

"Hasshoken Secret Technique: Drill Dragon Nail!"

The first to attack were Elizabello II, the King of Prodence, and Chinjao, the leader of the Happosui Army.

Their attacks directly shattered the giant stone hand Pica pressed down upon.

Immediately after, Zoro, following right behind them, used "Senhachiju Pound Ho" to slice through the head of Pica's giant statue.

Seizing this opportunity, Luffy once again rode the killer bull Ucy, climbed up Pica's arm, and confronted Pica's true body.

To allow Luffy and the others to reach the Royal Plateau as quickly as possible, Zoro stayed behind, deciding to hold off Pica alone.〗

[Buggy the Clown: That Doflamingo... he actually plans to kill everyone inside with the Birdcage? That's insane! He doesn't care about the lives of the residents inside at all!]

[Trafalgar D. Water Law: Because Doflamingo is that kind of person. After all, he's even...]

[Dressrosa Citizen 1: Bastard Doflamingo! What are you doing? We're still inside! How could you treat us like this?]

[Dressrosa Citizen 2: What do we do? What do we do? We're not really going to be killed, are we?]

[Dressrosa Citizen 3: It's okay, don't forget that's just something that happened in the video. We're alive and well right now.]

[Dressrosa Citizen 4: But Doflamingo is still in our Dressrosa! Could there be a day when he does the same thing as in the video?]

[Dressrosa Citizen 5: Probably not, right? If he really did that, wouldn't we be finished?]

The appearance of the Birdcage in the video caused panic among the citizens of Dressrosa. Others, however, were drawn to Zoro.

[Gecko Moria: So it's Roronoa Zoro who stays behind to fight Pica? Do you think he can win? I think this kid is no match for Pica. He might get squashed into paste with one slap, hahahaha...]

[Monkey D. Luffy: You bastard, what are you saying?! Zoro is my first mate! Just you wait, he'll definitely flatten that big guy!]

[Tony Tony Chopper: Yeah, yeah! Zoro is super strong! He will definitely win!]

[Dracule Mihawk: That boy's swordsmanship has improved significantly. I also believe he can defeat Pica.]

[Jewelry Bonney: Oh my god! Even Hawk-Eye is speaking up for Roronoa? What's their relationship?]

[Capone Bege: To think even Hawk-Eye believes in Roronoa Zoro... It seems he really can win against Pica.]

[Cavendish: Damn it! Why is the spotlight always on others? Where are my scenes?! Why are there only group shots and no solo shots of me?!]

[Perona: I wonder how Roronoa will fight? He won't have to get beaten up badly before winning, will he?]

Just as everyone was curious about the battle between Zoro and Pica, the perspective shifted back to Luffy.

〖While Zoro stayed behind to fight Pica alone, Luffy and the others had already reached the Royal Plateau.

Then, with cover from the others, Luffy and Law successfully passed through the second and third levels of the plateau and reached the fourth level.

On the fourth level, Kyros, who had arrived first, was already engaged in a fierce battle with Diamante.

Rebecca, who had been waiting nearby, rushed over upon seeing Luffy and handed him the Seastone key she had been carefully protecting.

Luffy took it and immediately unlocked the Seastone handcuffs that had been restraining Law.

Finally, Law regained his freedom.

Luffy and Law initially planned to help Kyros fight, but Kyros insisted on defeating Diamante himself.

So, Luffy and Law left Kyros behind, departed from the fourth level, and advanced towards Doflamingo's location.

However, not long after they entered the palace, a little girl carrying a basket of grapes quietly approached.

This person was none other than the Hobi Hobi No Mi user, Sugar, who had previously been scared unconscious by Usopp.〗

[Pirate 1: Whaaaaaat?!]

[Pirate 2: Isn't that Sugar? Wasn't she scared unconscious? How is she awake again?]

[Pirate 3: This is bad! Straw Hat and that Trafalgar Law will definitely be turned into toys by Sugar!]

[Pirate 4: Probably not, right? Aren't Straw Hat and the others really strong? How could they be turned into toys?]

[Pirate 5: But look at them now, completely off guard. It seems they don't know the enemy has a Devil Fruit user like Sugar. They probably have no idea about Sugar's ability.]

[Pirate 6: That's true! Then aren't Straw Hat and the others done for? Once Sugar touches them, they'll definitely be turned into toys. And then, everyone will lose their memories of them. Straw Hat and the others will be beyond saving!]

[Pirate 7: This is terrible! Who can save them now?]

Just as everyone on the sky screen was worried about Luffy and Law's situation, the perspective shifted once again, this time back to Usopp.

〖At this moment, Usopp and King Riku's group were staying on the old Royal Plateau. Through Viola's Giro Giro no Mi ability, they were relaying the situation of Luffy and the others.

Then, Viola saw Luffy and Law encountering Sugar and anxiously reported the news.

Upon learning this, Usopp decided to provide long-range support for Luffy. He set up his slingshot and aimed it in the direction of Sugar's location.〗

[Buggy the Clown: What does the long-nose think he's doing? From such a distance, he's not planning to snipe Sugar, is he? That's impossible!]

[Pirate 1: You've got to be kidding! The place Usopp is at is nearly a whole city away from the palace! Even the best sniper couldn't manage that!]

[Pirate 2: And he wants to use that ridiculous slingshot to snipe? Even the most powerful sniper rifle might not reach, let alone that slingshot of his!]

[Pirate 3: Exactly! And even if his shot could reach the palace, it couldn't possibly break through the palace walls. Plus, with uncertain wind speeds... There's no way Usopp can pull this off.]
