Chapter 292: A Peculiar Cause
Dressrosa, the cottage of the sunflower fields, which was once the home of Cyrus.
At this time, the Straw Hats who had experienced a great battle, except for Zoro and Sanji, everyone else was brought here by Cyrus, and they were listening to Cyrus tell them about the past and encounters of this country, and Wang Luffy, who had experienced a hard battle, was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly at this time.
Cyrus first took over the country of Dressrosa ten years ago by Doflamingo, and after the defeat of Doflamingo two years ago, the royal family of Riku regained the throne, but it was not long before Edward Wibull and the others dragged him from the throne and fell back into the dark and broken past, all of which were told to the Straw Hats.
"So, you were all turned into toys by people using the power of Devil Fruits before? And then, after we defeated that powerhouse, you went from a toy back to a human? After listening to Cyrus, Usopp was the first to ask him questions.
"That's right!" Cyrus nodded and said: "I'm ashamed to say that as early as two years ago, before Doflamingo was defeated, I was turned into a toy, I thought that after Doflamingo was defeated, the country would become better, but I didn't expect that not long after, this country was occupied by the new Seven Martial Seas, and that person's behavior was even worse than Doflamingo." ”
"No, what Edward Weibull did to this country is simply unforgivable!" Cyrus was furious at the thought of what Edward Weibull had done when he came to this country.
After Doflamingo took the country, although he also turned his opponents into toys, he did not kill many people, and Edward Weibull not only slaughtered the king's army that resisted him at that time, but also took off the head of King Riku without hesitation.
Not only that, but that guy even killed civilians who opposed him, and even the royal family and ministers who chose to submit to him at that time were turned into toys.
After Edward Wibull became king, he promulgated various 'bad policies', which caused all the common people living in this country to fall into a dark life.
That's why, when the people of Dressrosa learned that Edward Weibull had been defeated, they were genuinely grateful, even when they learned that Edward Weibull and his people were a group of pirates.
It was precisely because he felt the intense joy and gratitude from almost everyone in Dressrosa that he chose to stop and no longer chase the Straw Hats.
"Wait!" Robin suddenly spoke, looked at Cyrus, and asked, "You just said that two years ago, you were turned into toys by Doflamingo's men, and after you finally changed them back, and now you are turned into toys again, doesn't that mean that this subordinate of the Seven Martial Seas is the same person as Doflamingo's subordinate in the past?" ”
"That's right!" Cyrus looked at Robin and said in a condensed voice: "After the Don Kid Ked family was defeated two years ago, several cadres under Doflamingo escaped in the chaos, and then they took refuge in the new Seven Martial Seas, and I suspect that Edward Weibull and their capture of Dressrosa may have been planned by those people!" ”
"I see." Robin nodded, then stopped talking.
"Having said that, this country is really miserable, it was first occupied by the predecessor's Seven Martial Seas, and it was finally liberated, and then it was occupied by the new Seven Martial Seas, so it seems that this country and the Seven Martial Seas are like some kind of bad fate." Usopp said thoughtfully.
When Cyrus heard Usopp's words, he was also stunned for a moment, he thought about it carefully, it seemed that there was really some kind of evil relationship between this country and the [Seven Martial Seas]?
Unbeknownst to Cyrus, he later told his sister-in-law Violet, Hull's daughter, Rebecca, that Violet, who had succeeded to the throne of Dressrosa, later gave a great impetus to the proposal to abolish the Seven Martial Seas at the World Conference.
"By the way, Mr. Cyrus, who was the one who defeated Doflamingo two years ago?" Brooke asked suddenly.
"Him!" When Cyrus heard this, he recalled in his mind the figure of the man in the war two years ago, and a trace of admiration could not help but appear on his face, and then he said: "His name is Potkas. D. Ace is a very powerful man! ”
"What, it's Ace! X4 "Brooke, Franci, Chopper and Usopp were all taken aback when they heard Cyrus.
"I said, don't you usually watch the news?" Seeing the appearance of these five guys, Nami couldn't help but raise her forehead and said, "Obviously, the war between Ace and Don Quixote Doflamingo at that time was the fuse of the top war in the back, but you also went to the top war, and you didn't even know about the causes and consequences of that war?" ”
"Really?" Chopper.
"That's right." Frankie.
"That's what happened!" Usopp.
"I didn't join you then, yo hehehe." Brooke laughed.
"You guys!" Nami felt a little tired and said, "That's why I said, let you read the newspaper more often." ”
When the war broke out between Ace and the Don Kidk family, the Straw Hats happened to be on the Sky Island, and when they came down from the Sky, there was Robin's Justice Island Incident and the Top War, and then they were all scattered around the world to practice, so in the Straw Hats, except for Nami and Robin, the others didn't know that Ace had a war with Doflamingo before the Top War.
"The ......," Cyrus asked in surprise when he heard the Straw Hats and his gang talking; Did you know that man before? Portkas S. D. Ace! ”
"Ah, he's our captain's brother." Robin smiled slightly and said, "Moreover, he is also on this island now." ”
"Brother...... It's actually a brother! Hearing Robin's words, Cyrus was stunned for a moment, and then said thoughtfully: "Two years ago, Dressrosa was liberated by his brother from Doflamingo, and two years later, he was rescued by his brother from Edward Weibull. ”
"By the way, why hasn't that Sauron guy come back yet?" Suddenly, Nami thought of the two companions who hadn't come back yet, and said, "And Sanji, haven't they defeated that [Great Barrel] yet?" ”
