Text: “Factory”
“The Officers’ Tower”
Taskmaster: “No new workers for a year now, huh…”
“Which one of you is slacking off!!?”
Dwarf: “Gyahh”
Taskmaster: “They must find it strange that 500 of their comrades never returned… no?”
Dwarf: “Haa”
“Haa”
Taskmaster: “Yeah, but they’re just way too naïve…”
“These idiotic… no, rather, “innocent” Tontattas…!! Hehe”
“But still, why haven’t they demanded answers…?”

Text: “Luminescent Flowers: Elegant Sunflowers”
Taskmaster: “I heard they haven’t even shown up at the royal palace”
Dwarf: “No… no one’s slacking!!”
Text: “Man-made Devil Fruit Production: SMILE Factory”
Taskmaster: “Well, yeah…”
Dwarves: “Haa”
“Haa”
Taskmaster: “If we’re not getting any more of them…”
“Then we’ll just have to work the 500 we’ve got down to the bone”
Dwarf: “Haa”
“Haa…”
Taskmaster: “Too slow!!!”
“Whip of Love!!!”
Dwarf: “Gyahhh!!”

Dwarf: “Wheeze”
“Wheeze”
Sfx: squeak
Dwarves: “Haa”
“Haa”
Taskmaster: “Hey, hey…”
“These haven’t completely turned into SMILEs!!!”
“I thought you Tontattas could grow any plant!!”
Dwarf: “Uwahh…!!”
“Th… that’s right, but…”
“SMILEs are highly unnatural fruits…”
Taskmasters: “I don’t want excuses!!!”
Page 7:
Dwarf: “Please let my little brother rest a bit…!!”
“Today’s rations were kind of spoiled”
Taskmaster: “Complaining about the food, too!?”
“Don’t you lot want to cure your princess, Manshelly, of her illness!?”
Dwarf: “W… we do, indeed!!”
Taskmaster: “Then just keep making those SMILEs!!”
“They’re the only medicine in the world that can save your princess”
“We’re still only able to use one-tenth of the fruits from a given crop!!”
“Get creative and raise your production level!!”
Dwarf: “Won’t you let us see Princess Manshelly?”
Taskmaster: “No, you mustn’t!! You’d be sure to catch her strange disease as well…!!”
“…And we’d be so sad…!! You Tontattas are our precious partners!!”
Dwarf: “Sa… Sanshita-san!!”
“We’ll do our best…!!”
“Please take care of the princess in the meantime…!! …cough…”
“Ahh”
“They fell for it, hook, line, and sinker”

Leo: “Wh…”
“What are you doing, Robiland!?”
Robin: “I’m sorry… but I can’t let you dash in like that”
“He’d get you, for sure…!!”
“I saw the body of the fly from earlier…!!”
“He landed a shot right between that tiny thing’s eyes”
“Trebol’s hand-eye coordination and ability are not to be underestimated!!”
“It’s too dangerous to go after Sugar as long as he’s guarding her”
Usopp: “What are you planning, Robiland?”
Pirate: “Gyahh!!”
“What’s with this cargo!!!”
“It’s an army of pink hornets!!”
Bee: “Ehehe”
Page 9:
Robin: “Trebol-sama, I have a report!!!”
“Haa”
“In sector 4 of the port…”
“Trouble has broken out among the pirate crew of Captain Ibusu!!”
“Haa…”
“They’re rampaging around and demanding to speak to an Officer regarding the terms of their transactions”
Trebol: “Hmm? They’re not scared of defying Joker…?”
“That takes a lot of guts!!!”
“Hmm? Hey… are you a replacement for the usual communications director?”
Robin: “He’s eating at the moment”
“This is an emergency, though!!!”
“We’ve even got casualties on our side! Please lend us your strength”
Trebol: “Casualties!?”
“I’m coming!!!”
Page 10:
Trebol: “Hey, hey!!”
Guy: “What!! Trebol-sama is coming out of the tower!?”
Trebol: “Increase security at the four doors of the Officers’ Tower”
“But if anything happens, let me know immediately”
Guy: “Y…yes!!”
Trebol: “Hey, hey where where where’s the fighting??”
Robin: “Sector 4”
Guy: “Whoa, it’s Trebol-sama”
“Thanks for always working so hard!!”
Leo: “Huh? You mean you’re not going to fight, Usoland?”
Usopp: “It’d be too easy if I joined in”
“It’d be ideal if I didn’t have to join in!!”
“But this way, you guys will get a confidence boost!!”
“Just don’t worry!! I’m here to save the day in case anything goes wrong!!!”
Leo: “Whoa! That’s so reassuring!!”

Sfx: slam!!
Sugar: “Whooo’s there?”
Sfx: munch munch
Leo: “Prepare yourself, Sugar!!!”
“We’ve come to save all of our friends…”
“…Who’ve been made to work in that factory!!”
“And also to knock you out!!!”
Sugar: “…Knock me out? Hmph… but I don’t know anything about your little friends!”
Leo: “Ehhh!!? Really!?”
Sugar: “Yeah”
“Well then nevermind”
Usopp: “Look sharp!! She’s tricking you!!”
Leo: “Ahh!!! Th… that was close. Give us back our friends!!”
Sugar: “Who’s feeding you information?”
“I won’t believe that you idiots could ever figure out you were being fooled, on you own…”
Sfx: gulp
Page 12:
Sugar: “Tontatta Tribe”
“You guys haven’t shown up at the palace for a whole year now…”
“So this must have been spurred on by someone else”
Leo: “Attack!!!”
“Pin her down and open her mouth!!!”
Sugar: “I don’t much like this…”
“It feels like you’re underestimating me…”
Page 13:
Dwarf: “Ohhh!!”
Sugar: “ “Little Black Bears”!!!”
Page 14:
Usopp: “Huh?” “What?”
Sugar: “The contract”
“ “You will obey my orders…””
“ “…Until you drop dead”!!!”
Leo: “What?”
“What??”
“Where’d those toys come from!?”
“What just happened…??”
Sugar: “Now please kill…”
“…Everyone inside the Officers’ Tower!!!”
Page 15:
Usopp: “Eh…!? Even me!?”
Dwarf: “Damn!! She turned us into toys!!”
“So everyone’s forgotten who we are…!?”
“I can’t defy her orders!! Make it stop!!”
“I don’t want to fight!!”
Leo: “Take down the enemy troops!!”
Flapper: “Leo!! It’s me!! It’s Flapper!!!”
All: “Uohhhhh!!!”
Bears: “We don’t wanna”
Sfx: click
Sugar: “Trebol!!! Come back quickly!!!”
“It’s a trap!!!”
Page 16:
Sugar: “Trebol!!!”
Trebol: “A trap??”
Sfx: gulp
Trebol: “Hey…”
Robin: “Trebol-sama, look over there!!”
“Those pirates are going wild! We can’t get them under control!!”
Trebol: “Hey, hey, you guys!!!”
“What’s the trouble!!?”
Guy: “Trebol-sama”
Trebol: “Hey, what is it!?”
Page 17:
Pirate: “I wouldn’t call it “trouble””
“There were just a whole bunch of bees inside our cargo…!!”
“Not a problem with our transactions, if that’s what you’re thinking…”
Trebol: “That woman…”
Sfx: tmp tmp
Robin: “Haa… haa…”
Trebol: “Hey, hey, wait wait, you!!!”
Robin: “Ahh!!”
Trebol: “Hey, just who are you!? Heyyyy!!!”
Robin: “Haa… haa…!!”
Trebol: “Hmm?”
Sfx: poof
Trebol: “Sheee diiiisaaapeeeeared, heeey, heeey!!!”
“Her face, though, she was…!!!”
Page 18:
Sugar: “Trebol!!!”
Trebol: “Could it really be the Strawhat Crew!?”
“How’d they get this far!!? Why’re they after Sugar!??”
“I’m reeeeeally…”
