"That toy soldier, right? Running so far on one leg and even helping you reclaim the palace, that must have been quite an ordeal."

"After all, he is a hero of the bullfighting arena."

Viola led the two into the palace, through the long corridor, and all the way to the hall where King Riku was.

King Riku, though his hair and beard are all white due to his age, is still incredibly strong and full of energy.

He doesn't look like an old man at all.

When King Riku saw Chen Yong'an approaching, his first action was not anything else, but to kneel down directly before Chen Yong'an.

"Thank you for saving Dressrosa. Please allow me to express my heartfelt gratitude on behalf of the more than 100,000 people of Dressrosa."

“Get up,” Chen Yong’an said. “I accept your thanks, as long as Dressrosa can fulfill its promise.”

“Of course,” King Riku refused Viola’s help and stood up from the ground. “I’ve heard about your purpose from Viola. You are a great benefactor of Dressrosa, so there is certainly no problem in getting Dressrosa to ally with you.”

However, I haven't officially taken over this country yet, so I can't make this decision on behalf of Dressrosa. Furthermore, even if Dressrosa were to ally with you, given Dressrosa's strength, it wouldn't be able to provide any real assistance to your cause.

“That’s not important,” Chen Yong’an sat down on the sofa. “It was only a matter of time before you took over Dressrosa, and what I need isn’t your power, but your influence…”

Don't you think it's interesting that someone known as the "King Who Rejects War" has joined the forces of the "War Maniac"?

Chapter 538: First Base

Upon hearing Chen Yong'an's words, King Riku's eyes widened in shock. He said, "Wait, do you intend to use my reputation to launch a war against other countries?"

For centuries, the Riku clan has ruled Dressrosa, renowned for their love of peace, rejection of violence, and opposition to killing, and has never waged a war against any other country.

When King Riku was still in power, he frequently provided aid to people in other countries who were suffering from the hardships of war, making him one of the few benevolent kings in the world.

It is a breath of fresh air in this world.

How could one not be shocked to hear Chen Yong'an say that he needs his reputation?

"Um... I wanted to ask you, what is your understanding of peace?"

"Of course, it's about rejecting war and staying away from killing. That's the biggest difference between humans and beasts!"

"When you were attacked by wild beasts, were you prepared to offer your neck for slaughter?" Chen Yong'an stared directly at King Riku, "Just like that night eight years ago in Dressrosa that plunged countless people into agony... Answer me!!"

Chen Yong'an's sudden reprimand made King Riku shrink back and lower his head, unable to answer the question.

King Riku knew that his decision that night was undoubtedly wrong.

I've been thinking about that night countless times, day and night.

If they had led the army and the people to resist the invasion of the Tanquite Pirates, would the outcome have been different?

"That's Doflamingo!" Viola quickly interjected when she saw her father being scolded like a child. "He's incredibly powerful, his influence even extends to the Navy. If he sets his sights on you, how many countries in this world can stand up against him?"

"Isn't Dressrosa's biggest problem its lack of resistance and its choice to compromise for the sake of peace?" Chen Yong'an continued, "Raising 10 billion from the people to give to pirates to 'redeem' the country is the funniest joke I've heard all year."

“Stop talking…” King Riku trembled all over, almost collapsing. “I understand that the Riku clan’s ideology is no longer applicable to this world full of wolves and tigers.”

"Father……"

“Your desire for peace is not wrong, and I am also on the path of pursuing peace,” Chen Yong’an’s tone became calmer, “but the difference between me and you is that my peace is built on violence, and I am on the path of slaughtering all the beasts that hurt people.”

Just like millions of years ago, at the dawn of human civilization, when our ancestors banded together to defend themselves against wild beasts in the harsh primeval jungle… this world needs peace.”

"Then can you be sure that after driving away the beasts, you won't become the new beasts?" King Riku asked.

"We can deal with tomorrow's problems tomorrow, but you can't let a beast run rampant just because you're afraid I'll turn into one."

“I understand,” King Riku slumped to the ground as if all his strength had been drained. “If my reputation is of any use to you, then you may take it.”

In fact, after this incident, King Riku had already realized that Dressrosa's ability to withstand risks was far too poor.

This peace would be easily shattered by the slightest external interference.

It cannot withstand any test.

This is nothing but a sham peace.

It's time for Dressrosa to make a change.

“Then the alliance is established,” Chen Yong’an said with a smile. “I will not let down your reputation as the Benevolent King.”

"Better so."

Chen Yong'an chatted with Liku Wang for a while, inquiring about his injuries from yesterday's battle and expressing his anticipation for the upcoming friendly exchanges and trade cooperation between the two countries.

After their conversation, Viola suggested that she take Chen Yong'an and 2B on a tour of the palace.

Chen Yong'an was naturally happy to accept and strolled around with Viola.

The Royal Palace is a Spanish-style palace, mainly built of stone and brick without a single piece of wood. The interior is decorated with marble and gilded stucco, and is further adorned with a large number of velvet tapestries, embroidered murals by artists, making it magnificent and extremely luxurious.

“These are things that didn’t exist before,” Viola said, stroking the decorative paintings on the wall. “Ever since Doflamingo took control of the country and made it rich through illegal industries, the entire palace has become magnificent.”

“It’s more luxurious than my palace,” Chen Yong’an sighed. “Indeed, illegal business is the most profitable.”

“This is the palace courtyard,” Viola continued. “It’s the coolest place in the whole palace. When I was a child, my favorite thing to do was to swim here and play hide-and-seek with my sister.”

"The environment is really nice. It would be wonderful to have a party here... Rebecca?"

Rebecca, who was sitting by the pool not far away, playing in the water and soaking her feet, also noticed them. She quickly got up and ran towards Chen Yong'an without even putting on her shoes, leaving wet footprints on the colorful pebble path.

"Aunt Viola, Lord Sun God, have you finished discussing important matters with Grandpa?"

“Well, since we have some free time, let’s take a stroll around the palace,” Chen Yong’an looked Rebecca up and down. “This dress suits you very well, you look like a little princess, so cute.”

"It's just a very simple dress~" Rebecca was a little embarrassed by the compliment, but her happiness was reflected in her smile.

“By the way, since Rebecca is here, why don’t you show Lord Sun God around?” Viola seized the opportunity to offer a helping hand. “I happen to have something to do.”

"What is it?" Rebecca asked instinctively.

Viola simply smiled, gave Rebecca an encouraging gesture, and then turned and left.

Only Chen Yong'an and Rebecca remained, along with 2B, who silently served as a guard and seemed to have little presence.

Rebecca bit her lip, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

"What are you daydreaming about?" Chen Yong'an said. "Aren't you going to take me for a walk?"

"Um, well," Rebecca scratched her face, "I only arrived here yesterday, and I don't really know how to show you around..."

"You must have a room in the palace, right?"

"some."

"Then show me around your room."

"Ugh!!!"

Rebecca looked at Chen Yong'an in shock, then quickly waved her hand in embarrassment, saying, "How can a girl's room be visited by just anyone!"

"Is that not allowed? Then take me somewhere else for a walk."

"Since you put it that way... then I'll take you there for a look around."

"Where?"

“You’ll see when you get there,” Rebecca said cryptically, “You’ll definitely love it.”

As she spoke, Rebecca grabbed Chen Yong'an's hand and dragged him toward the palace gate.

After running a few steps, Rebecca realized that holding hands like this was inappropriate and was about to let go of Chen Yong'an's hand, but Chen Yong'an beat her to it and firmly held Rebecca's small hand in his own.

The warmth from Chen Yong'an's large hand made Rebecca tremble violently as if she had been electrocuted, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she used the force to tighten her grip a little more.

I chuckled to myself.

Chapter 539: The Right Way to Date in a Sea of ​​Flowers

Leaving the King's Heights and heading north along the road, what finally appeared before the three of them was a vast sea of ​​sunflowers.

"Isn't it beautiful?"

Rebecca turned gracefully, her skirt fluttering as she smiled, like a fairy in a sea of ​​flowers.

“Beautiful,” Chen Yong’an said, a smile spreading across his face as he was captivated by Rebecca. “In your presence, even the entire sea of ​​flowers pales in comparison.”

"When I said 'beautiful,' I meant a sea of ​​flowers!" Rebecca retorted, blushing and her heart pounding. "You're so good at saying these things!"

"It's just a fact, Rebecca. Are you denying your own beauty?"

Rebecca bit her lip, knowing she was no match for Chen Yong'an. She gave him a reproachful look and turned away, leaving him with only her beautiful back view.

But when I walk, my steps become much lighter.

“This is the first time I’ve ever seen such a sea of ​​flowers,” 2B said, taking off her tactical goggles that resembled eye patches. “If Eve and the others knew about this place, they could take pictures here for a whole day.”

"That's right, it's a great place for couples to go on a date... The sunflowers are so tall that you can't see what's going on inside from the outside."

"In a field of flowers? That sounds interesting. I've never tried it before."

"Then I'll come with you another day?"

"it is good."

Chen Yong'an and 2B didn't deliberately lower their voices during their conversation, making it difficult for Rebecca, who was walking ahead, not to eavesdrop.

Curiosity made Rebecca eager to try something, and she couldn't help but turn around and ask, "What do you want to try in the flower field?"

"Want to know?"

"Ah."

"Then I'll show you how it works."

After saying that, Chen Yong'an went straight up and hugged Rebecca, knocking her down into the sea of ​​flowers amidst her screams.

Rebecca looked down at Chen Yong'an, who was less than five centimeters away from her and whose breath she could clearly hear. A blush quickly spread across her cheeks and even reached the roots of her ears.

At this moment, Rebecca finally understood what Chen Yong'an wanted to try with 2B in the sea of ​​flowers, and why this sea of ​​flowers was called a romantic date spot for lovers.

For a moment, the air was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

Rebecca didn't push Chen Yong'an away; instead, she turned her face away under his burning gaze and asked, "What...what do you want to do?"

"Let me show you the real uses of a sea of ​​flowers."

To make the most of the moment, Chen Yong'an slowly leaned down and kissed Rebecca's lips, which were even more delicate than flower petals.

Rebecca neither refused nor pushed him away; instead, she took the opportunity to respond to Chen Yong'an with a passionate yet awkward kiss.

The women of Dressrosa are passionate and unrestrained when it comes to love, and Rebecca is no exception.

The two embraced passionately in the sea of ​​sunflowers, their lips and tongues intertwined, savoring each other's taste.

Rebecca, who was experiencing this for the first time, was soon kissed into a daze by Chen Yong'an, and her whole body went limp.

Chen Yong'an's actions also began to become more unrestrained, no longer just satisfied with the softness of the girl's lips and tongue.

He began to covet Rebecca's well-developed figure.

Like a hungry wolf, he grabbed a huge, bulging breast that was stretched taut by the dress, the tip of which spilled out of his mouth.

"Hmm~"

The sight of her well-developed, enormous member being held like this caused Rebecca to let out a soft moan, and a strange sensation spread from the part held by Chen Yong'an throughout her body.

Under Chen Yong'an's skillful manipulation, Rebecca felt as if she had become a piece of butter in a frying pan, rapidly heating up and melting with Chen Yong'an's movements. She had no strength to resist and could only let Chen Yong'an take what he wanted.

Chen Yong'an released Rebecca's lips and tongue, which had become weak from the kiss, and separated from her with lingering affection, saying, "Now you should understand the correct way for two people to have a date in a sea of ​​flowers, right?"

"Hmm," Rebecca responded, her eyes glazed over, "Your hands... they're getting weirder and weirder like this."

“This is a very normal reaction,” Chen Yong’an said, his thumb close to Rebecca’s ear, breathing softly into her ear. “And you’re enjoying it too, aren’t you?”

"But this is far too fast."

"Is that not allowed? I thought all the women in Dressrosa were as passionate and outgoing as Viola."

"Don't mention her at this time..."

Although Viola created an opportunity for Rebecca, Rebecca still felt somewhat uncomfortable at the thought of Viola getting there first.

Even if they have a very good relationship.

After all, Viola is her elder no matter what!

"Why not?" Chen Yong'an countered. "Your reaction is clearly much stronger now. Look, even the outline is clearly emerging."

As Chen Yong'an spoke, he grasped Rebecca's massive hand and pinched the clearly defined peak between his thumb and forefinger, gently twisting it.
