Summary

Trebol flicks a fly with such force that it punches through the tower wall, terrifying the dwarves, but Leo boasts he is too quick to be hit and charges, only for Robin to stop him cold. She points out that the fly was struck clean between the eyes, proof Trebol could have killed Leo just as easily, making it far too risky to go for Sugar while he stands guard.

Key Events

Inside the SMILE factory, an overseer drives the enslaved dwarves to grow the strange fruit, whipping them and lying that the harvest is the only medicine for their ailing Princess Mansherry, even faking tears about a contagious disease to keep them from visiting her. The deceived dwarves vow to work harder. Robin and Bian then stage a diversion, Bian's pink hornets stirring a disturbance at the port while Robin, posing as a courier, reports angry pirates demanding payment. Trebol leaves to handle it but stations extra guards.

With him gone, the dwarves surround Sugar, who feigns ignorance until Usopp warns them she is lying. Realizing someone tipped them off, she drops her grapes and turns several charging dwarves into toy bears bound by contract; the rest instantly forget their transformed comrades and see only strangers. Sugar orders the new toys to slaughter everyone, and the dwarves clash with friends who cannot reveal themselves. She snails Trebol to return, and he, spotting Robin fleeing, lunges and catches only a clone, recognizing her face and grasping that the Straw Hats are after Sugar. Enraged, he seizes a ship and drives it into the executive tower.

After Robin draws Trebol out, Sugar converts some of the attacking dwarves and turns them against their own, and Trebol slams a ship into the officers' tower.
