One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 193 A Gathering of Talented Individuals, Shichibukai Enel

Five days later.

Dressrosa, noon.

King Riku stood on the outer city wall, gazing at the distant naval fleet, his fists clenched, his eyes filled with resentment.

It's really too much!
This ocean never listens to reason; this was a truth he had known since he became king.

But the Navy... these Navy people who bear the name of "justice," do they really have to be this shameless?
Only after the demons were vanquished and the situation stabilized did they finally realize what had happened.

What about a few years ago?
Where were those warships on that bloody night when Doflamingo's plot drove the entire kingdom into madness?

Where is the navy's help when his people are turned into toys and enslaved?
"His Majesty."

Cyrus gently pressed down on his trembling shoulder and said in a deep voice, "At least this time, we are not fighting alone, are we?"

Yes.

King Riku looked back and saw a dark mass of figures stretching along the outer wall under the blazing sunlight.

There were soldiers of the Liku army led by Cyrus, a legion of little people sent by the Kingdom of Tontatta to help, and a large number of indignant civilians who came to help.

This time, the people chose to believe him and chose to resist.

At the same time, there are also strong foreign aids...

King Riku looked up and saw a massive bear, as tall and imposing as a mountain, standing beside him, silently gazing at the horizon.

"Mr. Xiong, is that gentleman... really able to arrive in time?"

The "adult" that King Riku was referring to was naturally Shano.

The bear overthrew the rule of the Don Quixote family and saved Dressrosa, making him a benefactor to the entire nation.

Shano, who personally killed the culprit Doflamingo, was also a benefactor.

The bear turned its head, smiled gently, and before it could answer, a mature woman's voice sounded from behind:

"No problem, don't worry, Father."

A slender beauty with long, dark brown hair strode up the city wall. She possessed an elegant yet bold and passionate demeanor, with deep, light brown eyes and a red flower tucked into her hair.

"Violet!"

King Riku was somewhat surprised. "Why did you come to the front lines? Didn't I tell you to stay in the King's Highlands?"

King's Heights is where the royal palace of Dressrosa is located, and it is also the highest point in the entire kingdom.

Staying there provides the greatest security and makes it easier to utilize the Stare-Stare Fruit's abilities to observe the movements of the naval fleet.

"I am no longer the girl who could only cry. Father, I can also be of some help in battle."

Violet smiled and said, "That ship... the members of the Fallen Ones, led by Lord Shano, are very close to here. Arriving before dark will definitely not be a problem."

is it?

King Riku's eyes lit up.

The deadline for the naval ultimatum will be right after midnight tonight.

His biggest fear was not that he would die in battle, but that the Curtain Falls would arrive too late, and by the time they reached the finish line, Dressrosa would have already fallen.

This nation, which had experienced two baptisms of blood and fire in just a few years, truly could no longer bear the consequences of defeat.

"That's good, that's good." King Riku felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders and smiled at his daughter. "But you'd better..."

“I will not leave here today, Father.” Violet shook her head and refused.

"And me!"

A small hand was raised high.

"Me too!"

Another, smaller hand was also raised, but its voice was just as loud.

Huh? King Riku was taken aback, and looked down at the two small heads that had popped out from either side of Violet—

"Bonnie!" Bear's eyes almost popped out from behind his glasses.

"Princess Mansherry!" Leo, the captain of the Tontatta tribe, also widened his eyes.

"What are you two doing following me here?!" the two roared angrily, their teeth bared.

Bonnie and Mansherry shrank back slightly from the yelling, but quickly straightened their backs and retorted confidently:
"We're here to help too!"

Bonney, hands on her hips, huffed and puffed, "Don't underestimate me, Bear! Have you forgotten? I'm a Devil Fruit user, I'm really powerful!"

As she spoke, her body suddenly swelled up dramatically, transforming from a tiny little thing into a hot, curvaceous beauty.

"That's it!"

Mansherry, now emboldened, jumped onto Bonnie's shoulder and waved her little fist, "Leo! I'm the princess of the Tontatta Kingdom, you have no right to scold me!"

Bear and Leo exchanged a glance, then sighed and facepalmed.

“Bonnie, this is no joke.” Kuma crouched down and said seriously, “The Navy is coming in strong this time, even the Admirals might join the battle, you…”

“I’m not afraid, Dad!” Bonnie interrupted him. “Besides, Uncle Shano is almost here, isn’t he? With him around, we’re sure to win!”

“I already said he’s the eldest brother!” Mansherry turned her head and glared at Bonnie.

"Mind your own business! I like shouting like that!"

"You're not allowed to talk back to Xia... no, we need to be on the same side, we can't argue!"

Xiong's eye twitched, as if he wanted to say something more, but just then—

"coming!"

Violet's expression suddenly changed. She abruptly looked up, activating her Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit power, her gaze piercing through the clouds to the far-off horizon:
"There's something in the sky, heading this way, and it's moving so fast! What does it look like..."

Her pupils contracted, and she exclaimed, "How could this be! The ultimatum hasn't expired yet, and the Navy hasn't reached the point where they need support. How could this guy have arrived first!"

……

at the same time.

On the flagship of the naval fleet, several high-ranking officers from headquarters who were in charge of this operation were also on the deck, looking at this special country in front of them.

The reason it is considered special is mainly due to the country's terrain.

Aside from the isolated island of Greenbite to the north, the entire coastline of this country called "Dresrosa" is surrounded by massive layers of rock.

It's like a naturally existing fortress.

From a military perspective, it is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Unless equipped with unlimited firepower at the level of a Buster Call, it is difficult for warships to directly threaten the core area of ​​a town.

We must advance deep into enemy territory and conduct a landing operation.

"You all saw it, didn't you, everyone?"

Lieutenant General Doberman, a veteran of the headquarters, put down his monoculars, his brow furrowed.

"It's that guy."

He scoffed, "No wonder the fleet has been besieging Dressrosa for so many days, and the entire nation shows no sign of giving up. 'Tyrant' Bartholomew Kuma... is still here after all."

Bear. This is one of the most troublesome names for headquarters in the past two years, besides that monster Shano.

Following the one-man revolution in the South China Sea, the bounty on the other side reached a staggering 290 million Berries.

After he rejected the invitation to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea and orchestrated the Dressrosa incident, that number has more than doubled.

The current bounty is exactly 6 million Berries!
Even though Doberman considered himself one of the strongest vice admirals in the Marine Headquarters, he wasn't very confident he could defeat a pirate of that caliber.

It can only be handed over to—

Doberman turned his head and looked at the tall, graceful figure.

"Tsk, why are you looking at me? I've only been on vacation for a few days and I've already been transferred to deal with this kind of troublesome guy. It's so annoying."

Gion, a candidate for general and nicknamed "Momosasagi," leaned listlessly against the railing, one hand supporting her chin, the other gently tapping the hilt of the famous sword "Konpira."

Her languid eyes swept over the imposing figure visible in the distance atop the giant rock, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of her lips.

"It was clearly that bastard Doflamingo who made this mess, and now we're the ones cleaning it up... Those old geezers in the World Government really know how to pick their moments to make people work."

Old geezer?
Doberman frowned even more: "Lieutenant General Gion, watch your words."

"Oh, Doberman, don't be so serious~"

Momousagi waved her hand casually, "Anyway, there are no outsiders here, what's wrong with complaining a bit? Besides, this kind of opportunistic behavior shouldn't be something the Navy should be doing, right?"

"King Riku is, after all, a legitimate member of the royal family. Now, the infamous pirates are helping to protect the country, while we have become accomplices in this evil deed."

"This is so boring, utterly boring—"

"..."

Doberman paused for a moment, then said coldly:
"This is an order from above, Lieutenant General. You are the supreme commander of this operation. War could break out at any time, so please take it seriously."

"Order?"

Momousagi chuckled, wanting to say something, but ultimately just pursed her lips.

"Yes, it's an order, an order... Soldiers are duty-bound to obey orders, so even if I'm unhappy, I have to bite the bullet and come here."

She yawned and turned to walk towards the cabin.

"Alright, alright, since we have to do it this way... then let's just follow the plan and finish this quickly."

Doberman watched her retreating figure and spoke with displeasure:
"Lieutenant General Gion, where are you going?"

"Going to catch up on some sleep~"

Momousagi waved her hand without turning her head, her voice lazy.

"Anyway, it's still noon, and there are still more than ten hours until the deadline. Call me when it gets late at night—oh, by the way, if Xiong calls early, remember to call me too."

at this time--

The sky suddenly lit up with dazzling golden light, and a lazy voice came from the clouds:
"More than ten hours? It seems... we don't need to wait that long."

Golden light condensed and transformed into a tall, slender figure, which lightly landed on the deck.

Kizaru, wearing brown sunglasses and with his hands in his pockets, slowly looked up in the direction of the giant rock and grinned:

"That brat, hasn't he arrived yet... It seems I acted just in time."

"General Borsalino!" Doberman's expression turned solemn, and he immediately saluted.

Momousagi, who was almost inside the cabin, paused, turned around, and frowned slightly.
"Hey, Borsalino, what are you doing here? Didn't we agree that I would be in charge of this operation?"

Things have changed a bit.

Kizaru shrugged and said with a smile, "Normally, Dressrosa is nothing special and I wouldn't need to take action, but unfortunately, the intelligence department suddenly sent some concerning news today, which we simply can't ignore..."

"what news?"

"Xia Nuo moved."

Kizaru said leisurely, "You all know that this world's greatest swordsman is now receiving treatment close to that of a Yonko, right? The surveillance ship responsible for observing his movements finally discovered today that he has changed course and is rapidly turning back. Judging from the direction, his target is the island we are facing now."

"Xia Nuo?!"

The moment the name was uttered, the deck fell silent.

Several vice admirals from the Navy Headquarters, including Doberman, exchanged glances, their faces changing, and beads of cold sweat trickling down their foreheads.

No wonder Admiral Kizaru personally took action against a member state that attempted to rebel; why did it alarm this guy?
Only Momousagi's eyes lit up, and almost instinctively she reached out and grabbed the Kinpira at her waist.

"Wow!!" she exclaimed excitedly. "Then can I ignore those guys in Dressrosa? I'm much more interested in this man!"

"that's not allowed."

Kizaru held up a finger and shook it. "That guy is of course my opponent. However, Gion won't let your sword be bored. The task I'm giving you is to stop that female swordsman under Shano's command, who is quite strong."

"Kuina?"

Momousagi frowned slightly and pondered for a moment. "Not as good as Shano... but still a decent opponent. Fine, I'll accept it reluctantly. But Borsalino, who will deal with that Tyrant Kuma?"

Doberman?

I'm afraid I'm not quite qualified...

"There's no need to worry about that."

Kizaru looked up, chuckling as he gazed in the direction he had come from. "I brought an ally with me... but this ally is quite arrogant, insisting on flying on his own. But as expected, lightning is ultimately inferior to light; its speed is noticeably much slower..."

Before the words were even finished, dark clouds suddenly filled the sky, and lightning flashed!

Boom——!
A thick, dark blue bolt of lightning descended from the sky and struck the deck with great force, causing the surrounding marines to panic and retreat in disarray.

With a crackling sound, the deck was shattered, leaving charred cracks. After the lightning subsided, a tall, imposing man with extremely long earlobes appeared before the crowd.

He was shirtless, hovering several meters above the ground, surrounded by a ring of thunder drums, holding a golden staff, looking down at the crowd with an arrogant and indifferent gaze.

"Mortals, is it you who are summoning the gods? Seeking their help?"

Enel picked at his ear, his tone languid, revealing undisguised impatience.

Doberman's face turned ashen. He had long heard that this new Shichibukai, recruited by Admiral Aokiji, seemed to have fallen from the sky and wasn't very bright.

But to utter such stupid things right off the bat is really...

He was about to make a sarcastic remark, but before he could speak, Kizaru smiled and raised his hand in a gesture of greeting:
"Huh? What do you want to do? Watch your attitude. This is an important ally of ours, Mr. Enel. Look up. There's a troublesome character named Bartholomew Kuma among the rebels in Dressrosa. We'll leave it to you to deal with him."

"Hmph, didn't I already tell you to call me God?"

Enel glared at Kizaru with displeasure.

But he still closed his eyes slightly, his nostrils twitched, and his Observation Haki instantly covered the entire island, precisely locking onto the bear.

"His aura is indeed very powerful, completely on a different level from the other guys on this island."

The corners of his mouth had just begun to curve into a smile when his expression suddenly tightened:
"No, no! There are many more powerful auras approaching this way, the most terrifying of which is so powerful that even we gods must look up in awe..."

Ok?
Really? I didn't feel it.

Kizaru glanced at him strangely, but his expression changed the next moment, and he turned to look in a certain direction—

Seeing the familiar ship spewing flames from its back, rapidly advancing across the sea and almost taking off, Kizaru's pupils suddenly contracted.
