Chapter 204 - 204 Hot Potatoes
Violet, who came with King Riku, recognized Baby-5 and Sugar at once!
But just as Kyrus was about to pull out his sword without even thinking about it, King Riku immediately stopped him!
Whether these two are Donquixote's or not, and what kind of relationship they have with each other, it is not for them to ask at this juncture!
How powerless they were in the face of those Doflamingo's men, they will only be more powerless now in the face of those Will crew!
If any of these actions annoyed the other party, it would be as good as doom for the already bruised and battered Dressrosa!
Rebecca, who was dressed in armour, almost drew her sword with her father just now.
As for Will, his mission here has been completely accomplished, and the plans and worries of Riku and the others are as clear as a mirror in his heart.
So he bluntly said, "Baby-5 and Sugar did turn out to be Doflamingo's men, but they're with me now, so no need to make a fuss.."
"Although the Donquixote family has been nearly annihilated, Doflamingo fled the island early, so you'd better contact the Navy and tell them the truth, see if you can strip him of his Shichibukai title, and seek protection on the way."
King Riku and the others immediately turned pale!
The news that Doflamingo was still alive and had escaped was a big blow to them, and if Doflamingo were to return, it would definitely bring disaster to the country again!
Unless, as they say, they make public what happened in Dressrosa and what Doflamingo did, forcing the Navy to outlaw his title and re-hunting him as a pirate, they will be somewhat relieved!
But what the man in front of them said next plunged their whole hearts into an abyss...
"In addition, the news that Drought Jack died here should soon be spread, and no one can guarantee what that crazy Kaido will do after he finds out, so if you don't want to be destroyed, think of a way to move quickly."
In an instant, King Riku and several people fell as they felt like they saw their lives fleeing in their bodies when they heard the name Kaido.
Drought Jack death, Kaido, extermination ...
These words strung together immediately plunged them into despair!
One Doflamingo could have played them for fools, and if it hadn't been for someone to rescue them, Dressrosa would have been living under a lie forever.
And now what did they hear?
The Four Emperors' right-hand man died in their country!
Kaido's insane personality will implicate the innocent!
And Dressrosa will take the brunt of it!
Against the Four Emperors, and the possibility of personally taking action against them, this is no longer something the Navy can shelter!
"I haven't asked you your name yet, can I have the pleasure of knowing it?" Old King Riku forcibly smoothed out his mood and asked.
"The captain of the faceless pirate group, Will."
Surprisingly it was him!
King Riku was amazed!
As a member of the Seven Shichibukai, Will's fierce reputation has long been known to the world, thanks to the spread of various gossip.
The most famous thing about him is that he kills his associates.
First was Sand Crocodile, then Gekko Moriah, the Navy's meeting of the Shichibukai was no secret to some, and the death of 'Paper Man' Simon made many suspects that he was responsible for it!
And now he's come to Dressrosa specifically to pick on Doflamingo...
It's hard to imagine how much this man has a problem with the title of Shichibukai, or does he want to take it all by himself?
"Thank you Captain Will for what you have done for Dressrosa, it's just that what you have just said is so horrifying, can you tell me more?" King Riku said with a bitter smile.
Will, who had never thought of concealing anything, naturally wouldn't let these ordinary people take the blame for him, so he briefly told the whole story...
"...Everything is a private grievance, and I killed Jack in the drought. These words can be spread. If Kaido wants to trouble me, let them come, but will that lunatic be angry with you? I don't know, you can only ask for blessings."
When King Riku saw Will's calm demeanour, he felt some shame and admiration in his heart.
But if this matter was not handled properly, the whole of Dressrosa was in danger of being annihilated, where could so many people go in a short time?
So King Riku bit his tongue and asked, "Is there any other way for you to save the whole country? The throne of Dressrosa can be handed over to Your Excellency as long as the crisis can be overcome safely!"
"Father!"
Violet, Kyrus, and Rebecca screaming out!
It is not that they are greedy for royal power, but rather that the country, which has only recently awakened from the lies that Doflamingo has spun. Is it going to be handed over to another pirate immediately?
But if they didn't, they really didn't know how to deal with the possible retaliation from Doflamingo and Kaido.
Seeing this, Will was also helpless. Even if you want to hand over the whole country to me, you have to ask me if I want to take over it first.
Let the Navy and the world government have the headache of this hot potato.
So he immediately made his attitude clear, "Doflamingo is just a dog that is not to be feared, but Kaido is not so easy to provoke, we are still too busy to take care of ourselves, I'm afraid we can't help you."
It was a bit cold, but it was all true.
King Riku also knew that it was a dream to try to trick someone into helping to save Dressrosa with such empty words, but he was still a little devastated when he was actually rejected.
"The navy won't just stand by and watch and leave it alone, and then again, we could have sought the protection of the other four emperors." Violet, who was forced to join the Donquixote family, immediately stepped forward and said.
King Riku and a few of his own family members looked at each other and nodded their heads in silence.
In any case, they still appreciated what Will and the others had done, and they understood the principle of repaying kindness, so King Riku kindly invited them to accept the gratitude of the people.
"Forget about the gratitude, we have said that it's just a personal grudge between us and Doflamingo, it's not for anyone, in particular, just give us a place to settle down and rest for a few days."
After the war, Will was in no hurry to leave, so he naturally needed to find a place to refresh himself.
The wave of devil fruit he harvested this time, he also needed to make reasonable arrangements as soon as possible, whether to keep it for later or consume it to strengthen himself, he needed to hurry.
He felt that he was already strong, but not strong enough, not the strongest!
At least like Kaido's 'unkillable' superhuman physique, he couldn't do it, even after absorbing so many devil fruits!
Faced with Will's reasonable request, King Riku agreed without saying a word, and promised to host a grand reception for them to welcome the heroes of Dressrosa!
