The multiverse was calling for a hero.
A savior to rescue those cursed to live as toys.
And as if answering that call—a hero appeared.
The S.O.P. Operation, planned by the one-legged toy soldier and the Tontatta tribe, was finally underway.
And among those carrying it out, alongside the tiny Tontatta warriors,were two members of the Straw Hat crew: archaeologist Nico Robin and sniper Usopp!
"Wait, wait—are we really entrusting such an important mission to that lying long-nose? He's one of the few normal people in the Straw Hat crew!"
"Yeah, and that Sugar girl—Doflamingo's key enforcer—she's bound to be heavily guarded! Sending Usopp sounds like a terrible idea!"
Skeptics across the worlds frowned and shook their heads, unconvinced Usopp could pull this off.
But others had faith."No way, it'll be fine! The Straw Hats don't have a single coward. Usopp's a real man too—and this is two years later! He must've grown stronger!"
Still others weren't even focused on Usopp.
"Hold on," said Gray from the Fairy Tail world, squinting at the image."Isn't there something familiar about that archaeologist chick—Nico Robin, was it?"
"Whoa, she's gorgeous! That figure, that face, that skin—absolutely flawless! And that mature, sultry vibe? She's the perfect onee-san type! I'm in love!"
Rudeus, Kazuma, Miroku, and the gentlemanly Bobo—eyes turned into hearts—were practically drooling.
Then realization struck.
"Wait! That's why she looked so familiar!" cried Sakura Haruno from the Naruto world."She's that Miss All Sunday—Crocodile's partner from the Alabasta arc! The one who saved Luffy!"
Everyone gasped.
"Whoa, for real? She looked so different back then! So she actually joined the Straw Hats later? What on earth happened in between?"
Over in the Fox Spirit world, Dongfang Yuechu frowned."My instincts tell me there's a hell of a story behind how she joined the crew."
From the One Person world, Master Wang nodded sagely."I'm less curious about her backstory and way more interested in her whitening secret."
"That's right! She used to be a tanned beauty in Alabasta, but now—look at her!"
All the beauty-obsessed girls across the multiverse stared in awe and envy.
Compared to the Alabasta days, Robin in Dressrosa looked like a completely different person—her skin fair and glowing, her features subtly refined.It was no wonder so many hadn't recognized her at first glance.
Back in the One Piece world — Shakky's Rip-Off Bar.
"Ah, my dear Robin," Shakky said with a teasing smile, "I'd love to know your secret for such flawless skin."
Robin chuckled helplessly. "Sorry, Shakky-san, but even I have no idea. I didn't expect I'd change this much in two years myself."
"Two years later Robin-chan's stunning," Sanji sighed dreamily from the corner, eyes spinning into hearts. "But even now, she's got that irresistible charm. I can't choose!"
"Come on," Franky chimed in, puffing out his chest. "Shouldn't I be the one hanging with the toy soldier? Two years later I'm super handsome!"
"You're barely human two years later," Robin shot back flatly.
"Hold up!" Usopp yelped. "Are we seriously chatting about this right now? Two years later, Robin and I are about to run one of the most dangerous missions ever! Oh no—I think I caught that disease where I die every time I go on a mission!"
He clutched his chest dramatically, spitting out a mouthful of ketchup.
The footage rolled on.
Two years later—Robin and Usopp, guided by the Tontatta tribe, slipped silently through the ventilation shafts into the dark underground port of Dressrosa.
Robin used her masterful disguises to lure away top executive Trebol,and the Tontatta forces began the S.O.P. Operation.
Their leader, Leo, darted in at lightning speed and slipped a pepper ball into Sugar's grape basket.
But…
Things didn't go as planned.
Even though the fake pepper grape looked perfect,its sharp scent gave it away.
Sugar instantly spotted the trick and tossed the "grape" aside.
Seeing that the plan had failed, the Tontatta warriors revealed themselves,ready to force her to eat the pepper by any means necessary.
But Sugar's reaction was terrifyingly fast—her little hand flashed through the air,and every Tontatta she touched instantly transformed into toys, turning on their own comrades.
The situation spiraled out of control.
Trebol, realizing Robin's ruse, rushed back to the tower,and his overwhelming power crushed the Tontatta resistance in seconds.
In a desperate moment, Robin made her move.
"Cien Fleur: Clutch!"
Hands bloomed like flowers, restraining Sugar and forcing her mouth open.
"Nice! That'll do it!"
"Forget Usopp, Robin's got this! She was Crocodile's right-hand woman back in Baroque Works—taking down a little girl should be child's play for her!"
"Yeah, this is in the bag!"
But the moment everyone relaxed—
Sugar calmly lifted her tiny handand touched one of Robin's conjured arms.
Pop!
Her Hobby-Hobby Fruit activated.
And in the blink of an eye, the elegant, mature beauty known as Nico Robinwas transformed into a ragdoll—toppling lifelessly to the floor.
"Eh?"
"EHHHH?!"
The entire multiverse went silent in shock.
"Wait—what?! She didn't even touch the real Robin, just one of her extra hands!"
Sawada Tsunayoshi from the Reborn world gaped in disbelief.
"Probably because Robin's extra limbs share sensation with her main body," reasoned Erza Scarlet, frowning deeply. "That would let Sugar's power take effect through the connection."
"This is bad—really bad! Even the cautious and brilliant Robin's been taken out! The only one left is that useless long-nose sniper!"
"Yeah, what's he gonna do? He's not a fighter—he can't possibly beat Trebol, one of Doflamingo's top executives!"
"It's over! The Tontatta operation's a total failure! We'll just have to wait for the rest of the Straw Hats to show up!"
The multiverse collectively shook their heads, completely giving up on Usopp.
"Wait a sec," someone murmured. "Isn't that long-nose guy a sniper? Maybe he'll pull off a long-range shot—like, launch the pepper ball straight into Sugar's mouth?"
"Oooh, that would actually be awesome!"
"Yeah! Maybe this is it—the moment where God Usopp is born!"
Hope flickered again—
only to be shattered seconds later.
Because while everyone expected a miracle—
Usopp was already sprinting full speed in the opposite direction.
Running for his life.
He'd… deserted the battlefield.
