Chapter 265: Tatababasco



"How are we going to reach Sugar with that snot guy guarding her?" Usopp asked, looking at Robin and Leo, the leader of the tontatta warriors, to see if they had any ideas.

"It's not just him, that snow woman is also lurking around here." Robin pointed out.

"Should we draw Trebol away somehow?" Leo suggested. "My warriors can cause some trouble on the docks?"

"Mm, and I can make use of my surprise to lure him away. Then Leo and Usopp can figure out how to get the tatababasco sauce ball into Sugar's grapes." Robin said.

It was as solid a plan as they could come up with on such short notice.

*CRASH!!!* *CRUMBLE!*

The ground beneath their feet quaked as a deafening blast was heard from nearby.

Seeing Trebol start to move towards the door, they tucked themselves away out of sight as he passed.

"What the hell was that?!" Usopp whispered.

"Cherry." Robin said, after taking a look outside with her bloomed eyes. "She just demolished the factory."

"What?!" Leo exclaimed, just a touch too loudly. He covered his mouth quickly and observed Sugar to see if she had heard him. She hadn't. "Our comrades are in the factory."

"Looks like they're all outside with her, though they're a bit hard to notice with their small stature." Robin reported, allowing Leo to heave a sigh of relief.

"In any case, this is great for us!" Usopp whispered excitedly. "The factory is destroyed, the tontatta rescued, and Trebol is distracted. All that's left to do is take down Sugar!"

They nodded in the affirmative. Leo took up the tatababasco sauce ball and prepared himself for a quick, but stealthy charge across what was pretty much a large empty room. No small task with two pairs of eyes that may spot him.

*Zip!*

Leo sped across the floor with unnatural speed, the fastest of his people. When he took things from the big folk, they never once noticed he had done so until he was already long gone!

Sugar was turned away from him, making one of the toys she had made not long before Trebol left dance like an idiot, unable to resist her commands. She snickered maliciously, popping grapes into her mouth as she enjoyed the show.

In an alcove near the ceiling, the eyes of a green haired woman flashed as she spotted a blur headed straight towards her little sister. She raised her wings to take flight and prepared to conjure a dense wall of snow around Sugar to block the perpetrator from reaching her.

know?"

"Run for cover!" Usopp shouted, already moving to do so himself.

The tontatta were quick to dodge, always eager to listen and heed the advice of a great hero like Uso-land! Robin could tell by the name of the attack that he'd shouted that she ought to

do as he said as well.

*BOOM*

An explosion rocked the building, producing an ominous skull shaped cloud in its wake. The officers' tower lost some of its load bearing walls and was liable to collapse on top of them,

but the igloo didn't hold up either.

Monet, holding onto Sugar with her bird feet, flew out of the ruined igloo and then out of the officers' tower as well, now that it had a big hole in the side of it. Though they were confident in dealing with their enemies, there was just too much at risk for them to stick around. Better to meet back up with Trebol and bulldoze them with overwhelming power whilst keeping

Sugar at a safe distance from danger.

Leo ran over to Usopp. "Uso-land! Shoot me!"

"What?!" Usopp was very confused, until Leo clambered up into his Black Kabuto slingshot

and he understood.

"Tontatta Star!" Usopp gave a random name to this as well as if he'd ever do it again.

*Sprong*

Leo flew through the air like an arrow, making himself as aerodynamic as possible by pure

instinct.

Monet noticed just before he landed on her and dodged.

Leo despaired as he started to fall out of reach... Then he was caught by a hand! Robi-land's

hand, blooming from Monet's leg!
