Reimei did not land on the main island of Dressrosa but instead arrived at Grimbit, which was separated from there by a large bridge.
Doflamingo's subordinate, the powerful Riku Family, once had a princess named Violet. She is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user who can monitor the status within a 4-kilometer radius.
Doflamingo kept her and the Riku King alive specifically because he valued her ability—her surveillance makes infiltration missions extremely troublesome.
So, Drake never intended to secretly enter Dressrosa without anyone noticing from the start.
Since that's the case, Drake gave Doflamingo time to prepare. Whether it was gathering forces or setting traps, this time Drake was determined to crush the Doflamingo family with absolute strength—to let him know how serious the consequences are for scheming against Fairy Tail.
Before that, let Doflamingo suffer a little longer. Drake and his group not only planned to visit the Dwarf Tribe but also wanted to take a good look around Dressrosa afterward.
Once they arrived on Grimbit, the first thing that caught their eye was a vast expanse of giant plants.
Clusters of enormous mushrooms big enough to be houses, thick vines like trees, and flowers blooming on top, resembling roofs.
This "Garden of Giants" was most likely trained by the Dwarf Tribe.
The title "Green Guardians" of the Dwarf Tribe was well earned, and no wonder Doflamingo tricked them into helping him cultivate artificial Devil Fruits.
They'd seen many strange and bizarre things, but walking through a forest filled with gigantic plants felt quite extraordinary.
As everyone moved forward, a voice suddenly appeared.
"Who are you?"
"Are you good people? Or bad people?"
"Why have you come here?"
Strangely, they only heard the voice but saw no figure.
Of course, Drake knew why. He responded ahead, "We are from Fairy Tail. We came because we're interested in the fairy tales of Dressrosa. Don't worry, we won't hurt you."
"Rei'ao, they said they won't hurt us!"
"Yeah, that's right. They're good people!"
"But what is Fairy Tail?"
"I don't know either. But Fairy Tail is us, right? What's wrong with our tail?"
...
Everyone looked at each other with complicated expressions. Although Drake had introduced the Dwarf Tribe's situation before, no one expected that such a simple race actually existed in this world.
A race that believes whatever others say and trusts blindly is nothing short of a miracle for surviving in this cruel world.
In the pirate world, many races exist—more precisely, many sub-species under the human race.
Including the Longarm Tribe, with arms longer than normal, the Long-Legged Tribe with legs twice as long, as well as the Neck Tribe, Head Tribe, and other body-part-specific races.
There are also races with even more special appearances and talents, such as beast-like Fur Tribe, which can manipulate static electricity, and the Fishman and Mermaid tribes, capable of underwater survival, with fish features, and far superior arm strength and swimming speed compared to humans.
There are also giant races, with enormous bodies and corresponding strength, with lifespans three times that of normal humans.
Additionally, there are Angel tribes from Sky Islands, rare races like the Bakkania, Lunaria, Oni, and others, forming a complex racial environment in the pirate world.
But all of these races undeniably belong to the same broad race—proof being that Fishmen and humans can exchange blood and produce hybrids.
The Dwarf Tribe is also one of them. As the name suggests, they are a tiny race, generally only a few centimeters tall.
Though small, they possess strength and speed far beyond ordinary humans.
The fairy tales of Dressrosa are said to have originated because their incredible speed made them too quick to be noticed, and their belongings were stolen before people realized they were there.
So, although they appear weak, they actually have astonishing strength. Plus, their tiny, hard-to-detect bodies mean they have great potential as a race.
However, the Dwarf Tribe has a fatal weakness: they all retain the innocence of children and have no ability to tell lies.
In other words, tricking these little ones doesn't require any skill in lying, because whatever you say, they believe.
Doflamingo just told them that Princess Mancehilly of the Dwarf Tribe was sick, and he could easily trick them into helping him cultivate artificial Devil Fruits.
But it must be said—luckily, the Dwarf Tribe's luck was pretty good.
Eight hundred years ago, the Dwarf Tribe had been slaves of the Donquixote family, creating much wealth for them. This is what gave the Donquixote family enough strength to become one of the "Twenty Kings."
And because of this, the Donquixote family left Dressrosa, and the kind-hearted Riku family took over, finally allowing the Dwarf Tribe to gain their freedom.
Four hundred years ago, the Dwarf Tribe encountered the explorer and botanist Roland. He helped them defeat the rebellious humans and taught them how to cultivate plants.
In the original story, they wanted to resist Doflamingo's oppression, and the Straw Hat Pirates and Law's alliance came to Dressrosa.
It seems every time they face a crisis, they encounter good people coming to help, giving an inexplicable sense that the fate of kind-hearted people favors them.
Under everyone's watch, a few tiny figures emerged from the shadows of the plants.
"Wow, so cute!"
Wendy and the others instantly covered their faces, eyes shining with stars.
The leader, a Dwarf Tribe member wearing a crown-shaped hat and goggles, spoke: "No matter who you are, this is the territory of our Donquixote Kingdom. Hand over your weapons!"
Drake walked up to him and squatted down. "We're not enemies of the Dwarf Tribe, so it's better not to do anything too excessive like stripping our clothes.
Honestly, we're not just here for sightseeing. Doflamingo owes us a favor, so we want you to help guide us."
Rei'ao's expression suddenly changed. "Really? You're going to fight Doflamingo?"
Drake said, "That's right. We're going to wipe out the entire Doflamingo family!"
There was no need for any further explanation or proof. Rei'ao showed a trusting expression and said, "I see. Please, let us lend you a hand!"
Everyone once again saw the innocence of the Dwarf Tribe. Did they ever think that someone might want to kidnap them?
But for Fairy Tail, if they just blindly trust these little ones, it would only strengthen everyone's resolve not to betray that trust. Lying to them would truly hurt their conscience.
And as for Doflamingo—an utterly heartless guy—Fairy Tail would just beat him away!
