Regarding the Hobby-Hobby Fruit, Sugar's ability to affect characters like Ideo, Cavendish, and others, preventing them from breaking free with their Haki, suggests that their Haki might simply not be strong enough. As for the precise level of Haki needed to counter it? Well, one would probably have to be willing to "die trying" to find out.

The Heal-Heal Fruit, on the other hand, plays a more supportive role. Its power is straightforward yet incredibly potent: it can heal all injuries of living beings! It even has the extraordinary ability to restore things to their original state at the cost of the user's lifespan.

If legends like Whitebeard or Shanks, who bear old injuries and disabilities, knew about this Devil Fruit, they would likely go to extreme lengths to acquire it.

For Hikaru, choosing between the two, the healing power is undoubtedly more crucial. If he were to obtain it, his endurance would reach an astonishing level!

"Then... we'll find Mansherry first!" Hikaru calmly decided. He then motioned to Violet, who was still a bit flustered, and said softly, "Let's go, Violet. Use your Stare-Stare Fruit ability to take me to the King's Plateau to find Mansherry!"

Violet sighed. She had, in a way, chosen her path, both actively and passively. All she could do now was follow it to its conclusion. "Alright," she responded. She stepped closer and, with a subtle gesture, nestled herself into Hikaru's arms.

This small action made Hikaru's lips curve into a smile. He wrapped his left arm around her waist, then scooped her up princess-style with his right arm, soaring towards the King's Plateau.

It was quite fitting, given that Violet was indeed the princess of Dressrosa, and Hikaru now literally held a real princess in his arms! Of course, he also had several other princesses among his "divine consorts," such as Vivi and Shirahoshi.

As they flew through the sky, Violet saw a rare opportunity and quickly whispered, "Hikaru, why have you come to Dressrosa?" This question was paramount to her.

Her greatest hope was that Hikaru harbored a grudge against Doflamingo, intending only to dismantle his forces and then leave Dressrosa. If that happened, her father, King Riku Dold III, could reclaim his throne, and her country would be restored! In the original timeline, her wish was granted.

However, she didn't seem to fully grasp why she dared to question Hikaru. Was it because she was a "vicious" adult?

Hikaru frowned, feigning displeasure, and responded coldly, "Oh? Why, have you forgotten you're a prisoner? You want to know my purpose? Do you intend to continue displaying your 'loyalty' to Doflamingo?"

Violet's pupils constricted, and the blush on her face vanished at his words. With a pale face, she quickly explained, confessing her true identity: "No! To be honest, I was once the princess of the Kingdom of Dressrosa."

Seeing Hikaru's expression remain unchanged, Violet thought he didn't believe her. "Believe me, I swear I've never lied to you!" she pleaded. "Eight years ago, Doflamingo came to this country and used his String-String Fruit ability to control my father, King Riku, making him massacre the people. Doflamingo then stepped in as a 'hero,' stopping him and seizing control of the kingdom!"

Hikaru was, of course, aware of all this. This intricate web of power perfectly illustrated a stark truth: to be powerless is to be inherently vulnerable!

"Doflamingo thought my Stare-Stare Fruit ability was quite useful and let me go. I seized that chance to save my father's life..."

"And then? Why are you telling me these old stories? What does it matter if I trust you? I'm quite familiar with Doflamingo's brainwashing methods. Who knows where your true loyalties lie now?"

"I..." Violet was left speechless by Hikaru's words. If merely swearing an oath could earn trust, how many people in the world would be swindled out of their fortunes? "Then... how can you believe me...?"

"Trust you? There's no need for that. These things are irrelevant to me. For now, you simply need to remain my captive and follow my orders!" Hikaru stated. "If what you just said is true, then as a former princess, you must despise Doflamingo for invading your country, right?"

"As long as you behave yourself and don't try anything clever, Doflamingo's rule will naturally collapse today!"

"I... I understand!" Violet had no choice but to respond meekly. At this point, she knew she wouldn't get the answer she wanted from Hikaru. She could only pray that events would unfold in a way that aligned with her inner desires.

And so, Violet was compelled to drop the topic, flying with a blushing face in Hikaru's strong embrace. As they neared the palace, Violet calmed down and whispered, "The chapel is on the upper floors of the palace. There are no windows inside. To get there, we can only enter through the palace's sole entrance, the Great South Gate."

"No need for that! Just point in the direction of Mansherry," Hikaru replied. Possessing immense power, he could go anywhere without obstacles.

"Ah..." Violet was momentarily stunned, thinking to herself, "Hikaru isn't going to just violently destroy it, is he...? The Goro Goro no Mi could certainly do that. My home wouldn't be destroyed like this, would it...?"

Though reluctant, she had no choice but to follow Hikaru's instructions, forming an "OK" sign with her hand before her eyes. After pinpointing Mansherry's location, she pointed her little finger at a wall and said, "It's right there! But there are assassins from the Donquixote Family behind that wall."

"Your Devil Fruit ability is truly useful. Even the pose you use it in is adorable," Hikaru remarked.

Listening to Hikaru's seductive words and his incredibly domineering actions towards her, even though he had previously dismissed her confession with coldness, Violet was now completely certain in her heart that Hikaru was interested in her.

She considered her options and decided to show her goodwill, actively displaying her charm. If she could captivate Hikaru, the outcome she desired might be achieved in a different way.

Violet smiled sweetly, raising the hand that had been clutching Hikaru's collar and the hand she had used for her ability, embracing his neck intimately.

She tilted her head slightly, revealing her alluring, snow-white neck, and her passionate eyes slowly met and gazed into Hikaru's, as if speaking volumes. Especially those rosy, delicate lips—it seemed that if Hikaru were to "accidentally" lower his head, he could capture that "little cutie" with his own.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Hikaru," she purred.

Hikaru was momentarily surprised. Hadn't he just subconsciously praised Violet? Why was she reacting so strongly? This seductive and passionate posture was as if she intended to cleanse herself and offer herself to him... There had to be something unusual behind such an unexpected turn of events! But Hikaru wasn't one to turn away such a "little fairy" who had practically delivered herself to his doorstep...
