Trebol looked at Robin, who was completely unconcerned with the port matters and only focused on intimately interacting with Sugar, feeling utterly helpless.
At this moment, he completely believed that this guy must have actively sought to meet Sugar. But the problem was, what about her mission?
Trebol couldn't help but feel a little annoyed and said grumpily, "Hey, I'm talking to you! Didn't you say there was a conflict at the port? Let's go quickly! Lead the way!"
Hearing Trebol's command, Robin, due to the Donquixote Family's rules, despite her unwilling expression, had no choice but to separate from Sugar, get up, and obediently lead the way for Trebol.
Seeing this, Trebol secretly nodded, thinking that Robin was not bad as an ordinary member.
After all, in the Donquixote Family, the Executive's orders have always been superior to the personal will of ordinary members.
Usopp's face was full of shock as he looked at Robin, who had successfully gained the trust of Trebol and Sugar, and couldn't help but secretly give her a thumbs-up from the corner.
As expected of Robin, she is proficient in information gathering, disguise, and assassination. Her professional quality is first-class, and the entire process was flawless.
Trebol followed Robin out. Before leaving, he meticulously locked the Cadre Tower's main door, three layers inside and three layers outside, then turned to instruct the ordinary member beside him:
"Hey! Listen, go notify the other members that all four main doors of the Cadre Tower are to have reinforced security. If there's any disturbance, come notify me immediately!"
After giving his instructions, Trebol finally caught up with Robin. As he walked, his head suddenly rotated 180 degrees upwards as if on an axis, and he looked at Robin in a somewhat comical way, asking,
"Hey, hey, where exactly is the trouble?"
Robin's expression was calm. She gently pushed up her glasses and responded methodically,
"Executive Trebol, it's the Fourth District. However, the specific situation can only be known upon arrival at the scene.
I am merely a messenger, and this mission was only just received from my superior."
Inside the Cadre Tower, Sugar held the "Princess Cavendish" who had just changed into her magical girl outfit, eating grapes and occasionally feeding one to the toy... Usopp looked at the Tontatta Tribe in front of him and declined to join their operation, saying,
"It's too easy for me to solve this. Only by acting yourselves can you truly build confidence."
Usopp decided to wait and see. He always felt that Sugar was not that simple.
After all, someone Orochimaru would write about in his ledger is certainly no ordinary person. He must observe carefully and wait for the opportune moment for a fatal strike.
The Tontatta Tribe members deeply believed Usopp's words, nodding one after another, and then quietly snuck into the tower.
Sugar looked at the slowly closing tower door, her expression unreadable. She silently put a grape from her finger into her mouth, chewing it while gently caressing the "Cavendish" beside her.
The corner of Sugar's eye subtly fell behind the pudding chair where the Tontatta Tribe was hiding.
It seemed like a casual glance, yet it was as if she saw through everything, with an unspeakable meaning hidden in her gaze.
Immediately after, she watched as Leo, who considered himself very fast, placed an object shaped like a grape into a basket full of grapes right in front of her.
Outside the window, Usopp's eyes were wide, staring intently at that scene, roaring inwardly: Is that it?! How could it be so smooth? Now just wait for her to eat that super spicy grape! The operation can end! Eat it quickly!
Sugar seemed to sense something, a faint smile playing on her lips.
She deliberately slowed her movements, her slender fingers gently picking up a grape near the fake grape, slowly bringing it to her mouth, and making a contented sound as she chewed.
Her gaze, however, continuously lingered on the pile of grapes, deliberately avoiding the fake one.
Usopp and the Tontatta Tribe, hidden in the shadows, felt their hearts rise to their throats, not daring to breathe.
Their eyes were locked on the basket of grapes, as if in the next second, their hearts would leap out of their throats due to excessive tension.
Finally, Sugar's fair fingers gently picked up that grape.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on Sugar without blinking, not daring to make a sound.
However, just as everyone thought Sugar was about to eat the grape, she instead turned and fed it to the toy in her arms.
In an instant, everyone was shocked, their eyes wide with fury. They knew that there was only one such grape, and there was no room for any mistake!
And Cavendish, in Sugar's arms, was already tormented to the point of wishing for death. Seeing Sugar's action, a sharp shriek erupted from him internally.
"What are you doing! What are you doing! I'm not blind! I saw it too, okay! This is definitely not a good thing! Don't feed it to me!"
Cavendish's soul screamed hoarsely, as if trying to break free from the toy that confined him.
Finally, Cavendish used all his strength and with great difficulty managed to lift his soft little hand, barely able to block the incoming grape.
Seeing this, Sugar raised an eyebrow slightly and chuckled, "You don't want to eat it anymore? Alright then."
With that, she casually tossed the grape away.
The moment Sugar casually threw away the grape,
"Ah!" A scream suddenly burst from Leo's mouth; this was a truly sharp shriek.
Usopp's face was filled with despair, and he slapped his forehead hard: "This idiot, don't make a sound!"
Leo's eyes were fixed on the fake grape that had fallen to the ground, the important task of the SOP plan flashing through his mind.
His figure was like lightning; with a "whoosh," he instantly appeared beside the grape, lunged forward, and steadily picked up the grape.
At the same moment, a group of Tontatta Tribe members suddenly appeared in front of Sugar.
Leo, holding the grape, stiffened his neck, his face flushed, and shouted with all his might at Sugar,
"Surrender quickly, Sugar! We've come to rescue our companions who were captured and taken to the factory! Today, we're going to make you completely faint!"
Sugar's face was full of innocence, one hand steadily holding the grape basket, the other gently embracing the charmingly dressed "Princess Cavendish."
She tilted her head playfully, blinked her eyes, and spoke in a soft, sweet voice,
"Nani? But I don't even know your companions."
Leo and the others suddenly widened their eyes, looking at Sugar with surprise, and asked hesitantly, "Um... is that true?"
Sugar blinked her watery big eyes and nodded obediently at the group of Tontatta Tribe members.
Seeing this, the Tontatta Tribe members all narrowed their eyes and said with a simple smile, "Is that so? Then never mind."
In an instant, Usopp's face turned into a shark's, and he roared loudly, his utterly speechless voice piercing directly into Leo's ears: "Never mind what?! Don't be fooled by her!"
Leo and the others, who were smiling with narrowed eyes, instantly snapped awake:
"Ah, that was close, that was close... You! Quickly return our companions to us!"
Sugar's expression was calm, she unhurriedly extended her small finger, gently picked up a grape, and slowly brought it to her mouth.
As she chewed, she spoke casually, her eyes full of disdain,
"Who exactly is guiding you from behind? How could foolish you have discovered that you were deceived on your own?"
