Sugar had thought many times about turning Orochimaru into a toy, but she knew in her heart that if she did, it would be a betrayal of her Young Master.
Helpless, Sugar could only study bitterly. Although her abilities improved during the learning process, Sugar was not happy at all. She missed the days of eating grapes and shopping! She didn't want to study! (இ ω இ)
Every day, Sugar counted the days until Orochimaru left by bending her fingers. It was too painful.
If Orochimaru knew Sugar's thoughts, he would probably tell her, 'Don't be delusional. For you to turn me into a toy, you'd first have to be able to touch me.'
During this time, Orochimaru's life was simple and regular, almost a straight line between two points. Every day, he would wake up in Doffy's bed and be dragged to eat breakfast.
He spent his mornings in the lab researching Artificial Devil Fruits, his afternoons teaching Sugar, and his evenings returning to Doffy's side to sleep.
For Orochimaru, this was his simple happiness, and he even had a great deal of tolerance for Doffy, who rubbed against him every day.
Finally, after more than three months, Senior still found Orochimaru.
Orochimaru, who was carefully injecting medicine into an Artificial Devil Fruit, didn't even glance at Senior.
"Lose weight first before talking to me about this. A week is enough for you."
For people in the Pirate World, if they want to lose weight, they just train hard. These people are like inflatables.
"And you need to think clearly. After I cure her, are you sure Luccian will still be with you?
It's not just a child that separates you two. You should be aware of the nature of the Donquixote family. You can't be with her forever.
And if nothing unexpected happens, in a year, two years at most, you might be forced to leave Dressrosa. Can you take her with you? As she is now, at least you can see her every day."
Orochimaru's gaze never left the Devil Fruit, and his hands continued to work.
"Of course, you can also go find Sugar. Her ability development has been good recently. She can already erase part of a person's memory and store it as candy. You can choose to erase Luccian's memory and start over.
Come back to me when you've made your choice."
Orochimaru waved his hand, not giving Senior time to speak, and directly sent him away.
Orochimaru looked excitedly at the fruit in his hand, which originally belonged to Momonosuke. The modification was successful. Who would want a pink dragon? Isn't white better? A white dragon.
Sabo should like it very much, right? This is the Devil Fruit that can match Sabo.
After Orochimaru carefully put away the Devil Fruit, he stepped out of the laboratory in a joyful mood.
Seeing the swimming pool he passed by, Orochimaru suddenly felt playful, transformed into a half-snake form, and plunged into the pool to swim freely.
As he was enjoying his swim, his upper shirt was quietly carried away by the current, leaving only the lonely decorative collar around his neck.
When Orochimaru slowly surfaced from the water, he happened to come face to face with Doflamingo, who was lying on a beach chair across the pool.

Orochimaru submerged slightly in embarrassment, with half his face out of the water, constantly bubbling.
His gaze first swept towards Doflamingo, then caught sight of Violet kneeling beside him. In an instant, he seemed to understand something and continued to sink quietly.
He mumbled, "Excuse me."
Doflamingo looked at Orochimaru with a deep, speechless gaze.
"Is this snake thinking something wrong?"
However, the corner of his mouth unconsciously curved upwards slightly, forming an almost imperceptible arc. He gently raised his hand, his slender fingertips trembling slightly, and invisible Parasite Strings instantly wrapped around Orochimaru like nimble snakes.
Immediately after, his fingers exerted force, like reeling in a large fish, flinging Orochimaru out of the water and into the air.
Doflamingo then stood up, spread his arms, and caught the snake-like figure falling from the sky in a very intimate posture.
Their chests were pressed tightly together, their warm breaths mingled, and the surrounding air seemed to be permeated by this ambiguous atmosphere.
Doflamingo rested his forehead against Orochimaru's, letting out a low, magnetic laugh: "See, I caught you."
Orochimaru looked helpless, pushing Doflamingo away with some exasperation.
"How old are you? Still so childish, and without even considering the occasion. Your ex is still here."
Doflamingo, however, laughed even more heartily, teasing, "What, are you jealous? She's the former king's daughter, my subordinate.
Not exactly an ex, just passing the time. But she's very passionate in bed.
When can you be that passionate?"
Orochimaru looked at the unruly Doffy in front of him, and directly reached out to push his face away.
"Get lost!"
Violet, witnessing all of this from the side, couldn't help but gape in astonishment.
During her mission, she had already heard that Doflamingo had a new lover by his side.
Violet had always thought it was just another pitiful soul, similar to herself... Although she couldn't see the full face, the contours outlined by just the profile were enough to determine that this was certainly a beautiful woman.
And looking at Doflamingo's expression, his eyes full of indulgence and care, it was clear that he doted on this person greatly.
Just a quick glance at the figure, the chest was slightly flat, but from the side, the overall silhouette was still considered well-proportioned, though of course, compared to her own proud figure, it was indeed a bit inferior.
Violet couldn't help but wonder to herself, had Doffy changed his preferences this time?
And that voice had a hint of hoarseness. Violet couldn't help but suspect if Doffy had been doing too much of a certain activity.
Violet's mind wandered. She had never thought that the other person's gender was different from hers. No, she should say that everything was different.
Orochimaru glanced at Violet from the corner of his eye.
"This is the prelude to the Dressrosa arc, isn't it? Even without her, there should be a Rebecca.
No Rebecca, there's the Tontatta Tribe. No Tontatta Tribe, there's a limping toy.
Even if all these are gone, there's Sabo investigating in the shadows... Doffy is really going to be finished."
Orochimaru sighed slightly, then looked at the future Doffy, who could only pitifully read newspapers, shook his head gently, and then fell into deeper thought.
"It's best if things still follow the original plot, so he can still be salvaged.
However, if that's the case, Violet must absolutely not discover my identity, otherwise, I'll have to go through a lot of trouble to change the plot again.
Then it'll be troublesome for Luffy to follow the plot? But the Mera Mera no Mi is gone, what can entice Luffy...? How about the world's most delicious jewel meat? He remembers that in the original plot, this had a crossover with another world, Toriko, which could also be said to be a very distant overseas continent... And the system store sells it... So it's decided!"
Doflamingo, seeing the person suddenly lost in thought, and then suddenly looking at him with a pitying expression, was a little displeased. He waved for Violet to retreat and then asked,
"What are you thinking about?"
Orochimaru smiled.
"I'm thinking about how to save you when you're finished. If you're finished, how about going to Kaido? But I think he'll beat you up, and then you'll persuade him to continue cooperating.
You can try to survive, and then wait for me to continue to save you.
When Kaido is finished, how about I give you Wano Country? Anyway, a king is a king, no matter where you rule. ૮( ˶ ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ ˶ )ა"
