Ignite the fire from the pirates

In fact, Rosinante was not aware of Doflamingo's specific plan for Dressrosa.

Just like the conversation on the bow deck that day, Doflamingo obviously no longer trusted him, or he had doubts about him before.

But even so, he did not follow the arrangements made by Zhan Guo and find an opportunity to leave the Don Quixote family and return to the navy after getting off the ship in this country.

The original purpose of SWORD's establishment was for this moment.

The members of SWORD can directly declare war on the Seven Warlords of the Sea or the Four Emperors of the New World, but at the same time they will not be recognized as marines by the Marine Headquarters, will not be rescued if captured, and will not receive support from the Marine Headquarters during operations.

It can even be said that SWORD members are independent of Marinford to some extent.

And he... was the first member of SWORD, or the first member before it was formed.

Seeing that the kid in the tavern didn't know the captain of the guard, Rosinante looked at the others anxiously.

The Don Quixote family has already landed in this country and started collecting intelligence on Dressrosa several years ago. At that time, I knew nothing about it. Now it seems that Doflamingo will definitely take action soon.

Sanji, who was beside him, naturally noticed his looking around and his panic, so after leaving with the plate, he immediately found his sister Reiju.

After the two of them discussed it, they asked for leave from the tavern owner and ran towards the sunflower field.

"You had a conversation? But why didn't I hear anything when I was so close?"

"No, your lips did move."

Along the way, the two ran very fast.

However, when they arrived at the flower field, they found that Aunt Scarlett was not there.

It was also at this time that Rossinanti appeared not far behind the two of them.

"I'm really lucky that you actually knew about this."

Hearing this, Reiju was suddenly startled, jumped up and kicked Rocinante in the face.

Rossinanti, who originally thought he was just a child and tried to block with just one hand, was kicked away.

"boom!"

how come? !

A mouthful of blood spurted out and Rossinanti's eyeballs were almost kicked out.

In the collapsed sunflower field, Rosinante just stood up and found himself surrounded by a group of men and women.

And the monster kid just now was now staring at him hungrily.

"Well... I can explain. There must be a misunderstanding here."

Sanji, who was hiding behind a middle-aged man, leaned over and said to Reiju, "Sister, give him a beating first. This guy is a scoundrel and you can't tell at first glance that he's not a good person."

Reiju ignored Sanji and looked at Rosinante and said, "What do you want from the captain of this country's guard army? You only have one chance to explain yourself."

……

In the royal palace of Dressrosa, King Riku knelt on the ground, begging Doflamingo not to start a war.

It was also at this time that Doflamingo proposed a number.

Ten billion berries. For the price of ten billion berries, the Riku family bought back Dressrosa from Doflamingo of the Donquixote family.

King Riku agreed.

The next day, the entire population of Dressrosa received a notice from the king to borrow money, and King Riku's request was broadcast live on a huge screen using Den Den Mushi.

Yes, just 10 billion Beli, which is only the cost of building five Pacifists in the Revolutionary Army’s research institute, but King Riku really can’t afford it.

In the square, Kevin looked up at the King's Highlands in the distance.

The clone knew all the information that Doflamingo had arrived in the New World from the North Sea and headed straight for Dressrosa.

The natural entity also knows that the suffering of this country is about to begin.

There was also a huge curtain hanging in the square. King Liku, as a member of the royal family, knelt on the ground and told the people his request. There was guilt in his eyes but he couldn't tell any reason.

Ten billion berries would be an easy task if it was Dressrosa ruled by the Don Quixote family eight hundred years ago.

But in Dressrosa ruled by King Riku, after liberating the dwarfs and ensuring that the heavenly gold paid by the country would not affect the lives of the people, the royal family was truly penniless.

Many people gathered in the square.

There was a lot of discussion for a while.

"Your Majesty..."

"There must be some difficulty. The King needs our help."

"Mom, does the King need to borrow money? I can lend him my pocket money."

"I am willing to believe in the King! This country has been able to be stable all along, all because of the King!"

"People who have never been to sea may not know what the world outside is like. It is because of the kindness of Lord Riku that we can live in such a peaceful and happy place!"

"Go back and get the money, and wait for the guards to come and take it away. Trust King Riku, trust the Riku clan!"

"Come on, kid. You'll have no pocket money starting today. But this is for the country. We all believe in the King."

……

Kevin looked at everything in front of him quietly.

At this moment, the kindness and trust of human beings are fully demonstrated. This is also one of the difficulties in the liberation of Dressrosa's thoughts, but it does not hinder the beauty it shows.

But sometimes people are contradictory. Eleven years in the future of this country, after the user of the Childlike Fruit was frightened unconscious by Usopp, Doflamingo gave them two choices.

Many of them, many of whom were transformed from toys and suffered nearly a decade of oblivion and oppression, chose to turn against the benefactors who helped liberate them.

The human heart is unpredictable. Fear, kindness, morality, conscience, violence, evil deeds... these things will all affect a person's decision.

But again, no matter how the world changes, the majority of people will always be at the bottom.

Under the premise that spiritual will influences the awakening of domineering power, people whose minds are liberated will have the strength to stand up and resist when faced with oppression.

"elder sister……"

Kevin's thoughts were interrupted by a voice.

Sanji...is already this big.

Standing next to them were Reiju and Rosinante.

Kevin quickly figured out the changes.

Unconsciously, the fate of both the protagonist and the supporting characters in this world seems to have changed because of their own existence.

Just as I was about to continue listening to what these three people would say, I suddenly found that I could not hear anything. Even with my Observation Haki, I could only sense the presence of three people, but still could not hear the conversation.

In the silent realm, Rosinante said seriously, "This is Doflamingo's conspiracy. He must have said something to King Riku. But money won't help. This country is his bridgehead in the New World and it's related to his ambitions!"

Sanji asked in confusion: "10 billion berries, that's a lot of money! Don't you pirates go out to sea for money?"

Rosinante replied: "Those are just ordinary pirates. Doflamingo's ambitions go beyond that. He wants to become the king of this world!"

King of the world?

For a moment, Reiju and Sanji were stunned.

Even in the Germa Kingdom where they once lived, the ideal of Judge's father was only to rule the North Sea again.

"Now we need to find Uncle Cyrus as soon as possible!"

Reiju frowned. "She didn't come back to the flower fields all night, and Aunt Scarlett hasn't come back either. Let's go back to the flower fields. Rebecca is still there, so Aunt Scarlett will definitely come back."

The three of them left in a hurry again.

They couldn't enter the palace, especially at this time.

……

Soon, night fell on Dressrosa.

The guards set out from the King's Highlands and began collecting money from door to door.

In the palace, King Riku was sitting on the steps, holding a Den Den Mushi in his hand.

Scarlett, Cyrus, and Rocinante appeared here, right in front of King Riku.

"Father..."

At this time, Rosinante had already informed King Riku of the information he knew, but King Riku remained indifferent.

Cyrus stepped forward and knelt on one knee: "As the commander of the guard, at a moment like this, I will protect the safety of this country even if it means risking my life."

Rosinante wanted to say something else but was interrupted by King Riku.

He stood up, walked in front of Sanji and Reiju, and ruffled the two children's hair. "I'm sorry that I dragged you two into this. I'm too incompetent as a king."

Having said that, King Riku was about to hand the Den Den Mushi in his hand to Cyrus, but after thinking about it, he handed it to Scarlett.

"If you are in danger, Cyrus will do his best to protect you, so I'll leave this Den Den Mushi to you, kid."

Scarlett took the Den Den Mushi and looked at it in confusion. What is this thing... for?

At a time like this, shouldn't we gather all our strength to protect this country?

"I borrowed 10 billion pelis from the people. If 10 billion can save this country from war and save lives, then it is worth it."

King Liku looked at them firmly and said, "And if that Don Quixote family guy cheats me in the end, you should not do anything."

"Why!"

Scarlet looked at her father in confusion.

Even Sanji and Reiju were stunned. Only Cyrus seemed to understand King Riku's inner thoughts at this moment.

"This country was once ruled by Don Quixote. It is only natural for him to come and take back what was once his."

"If he can treat the people of Dressrosa well and allow this country to continue to live a stable and happy life, then even if I am killed, you cannot take revenge."

"Take Bereka and Violet with you and find a new place to live as civilians. Or you can leave this country."

There was no anger in King Riku's voice, and Sanji even saw a smile in his eyes.

He was still able to smile in the face of death because in the heart of this king, he truly valued the people more than his own life...

As long as the other party treats the people well, it doesn’t matter even if I die, as long as this country can become a better place.

"Cyrus."

"Your Majesty."

"This is what I ask of you as a king and Scarlett's father!"

King Liku stared at him closely. "As the army commander of this country, you have won a thousand consecutive victories in the bullfighting arena. You have the reputation of gathering resistance forces in this country!"

"So I need you to promise me that if the other party treats the people well, then you will not be able to stand up and quietly take them with you and live as an ordinary person."

Hearing this, Cyrus lowered his head and tightly grasped the hilt of the knife with his right hand.

After a while, under the gaze of King Liku, he finally agreed.

King Riku then looked at Scarlett and said, "If the other party does not treat the people of this country well, if the other party starts killing people, then you will call this Den Den Mushi... and tell him that the Riku clan agrees to all his requests."

Agree to all requests?

Scarlett looked at the Den Den Mushi in her hand. Who would be connected to the other side of this Den Den Mushi?

At this time, Rossinanti, who had been unable to find a chance to interrupt, could no longer hold back.

"That guy will never treat the people kindly, King Riku!"

"He is a pirate. His purpose of occupying Dressrosa is to use this country as a base to compete for the throne of the fourth Pirate Emperor of the New World."

"If we let this go, this country will definitely be taken away by him..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a burst of laughter.

"Fufufufufu..."

The door of the meeting room was pushed open by the guards. There was struggle on the faces of the two guards, but it was of no use.

"My dear brother, this is the first time I have heard your voice since I was ten years old."

Doflamingo walked with his feet turned outward, as if he didn't care about anyone.

Behind him, Virgo followed closely with his hands behind his back.

Such a scene made Rosinante swallow her saliva, but her body unconsciously blocked in front of Sanji and his sister.
