Chapter XXVII
Dressrosa is a tropical island with a very rich and simple people, and a very resort atmosphere.
Under the leadership of King Riku, every citizen was able to live a happy life with abundant food and clothing, and all the people respected and loved King Riku. And King Riku sometimes walks on the streets of civilians with private visits, and when he meets the citizens who take the initiative to greet him, he will smile back, which makes people feel very kind.
Seeing that his country was living and working in peace and prosperity, King Liku was also very pleased and enjoyed this life.
Until one day.......
In the dead of night, because no one has a grudge against the country, there are not many guards, only a few soldiers who are very committed to their posts will patrol late at night.
King Liku, who had already fallen asleep, suddenly felt a hint of coldness, which made him very uncomfortable, slowly opened his eyes, looking at the familiar ceiling, King Liku exhaled deeply, and when he was about to continue sleeping, he was awakened by the figure sitting in front of the window, and King Liku asked directly.
"Who are you?"
"Don't shout, don't call anyone." Answered: The figure in front of the window replied in a rebellious voice.
"You, you are?" King Riku asked hesitantly.
"I'm Don Quixote Doflamingo, and I think you should understand what that name means." Doflamingo looked at King Riku playfully, looking forward to his reaction to hearing the name.
"I've only recently heard that there's a pirate named Don Quixote, and I've been quite worried......," King Riku said in a cold sweat, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Doflamingo.
"That's right, your restlessness has been cured, I am a descendant of the Don Quixote clan who once ruled this country, the true king of this country, and now, the king has returned." As he spoke, Doflamingo jumped down from the window and looked at King Riku with a wicked expression.
"But I heard that you attacked the transport ship of the Heavenly Dragons' tribute ship, the Heavenly Gold, and used this to blackmail the World Government into becoming the Seven Martial Seas. King Riku was very nervous at the moment, and he probably understood what Doflamingo meant.
"I'm giving those guys a big headache because I'm not afraid of the Draconians and it's making them anxious. However, since you know so well where I came from and what I am capable of, then it's easy to talk. Doflamingo said very pleased with King Riku's attitude, and then said that King Liku's heart was holding as if it were being held by a large hand.
"Give me back this country! If you refuse, the land of Dressrosa will be stained red with blood. ”
King Riku clenched his teeth, his eyes like sharp swords, staring fiercely at Doflamingo's face.
"Boom! But I'm not a demon either, I still know that you don't like war, so ..... I bid 10 billion Baileys to sell this country to you! Doflamingo continued to threaten.
"You say..... You want me to buy this country with money......" Seeing King Riku's hesitant look, Doflamingo interrupted directly.
"I could have not even given you this kind of opportunity, just grab it, I'm still very human, not like those trash who only rely on the world government."
"It's nice to be able to spend money to avoid war, but where is this country going to find you a huge sum of 10 billion." Seeing that King Riku was a little excited, Doflamingo interrupted again.
"Isn't it right there? In the hands of your cherished citizens, you can easily do it on the grounds of preparing military salaries. ”
"What! But even then, all the people's money doesn't add up to that much!" King Riku said in shock.
"That's not something I should worry about. The deadline is tomorrow dawn, and you are not allowed to ask other countries for help, which is a test for you as a king, and besides, you are not allowed to tell the people about me, perhaps...... There is another way. As soon as Doflamingo's voice fell, hope suddenly rose in the heart of King Riku, but only for a moment, he was torn apart by the blow.
"Now there is a guy with a reward of 10 billion, how about it, it's not impossible to take his head to me, choose one of the three, either quickly scrape together money to avoid all this, or start a war, and the blood of the people will be shed, or take down the head of the guy known as the demon god worth 10 billion, choose your favorite, bu-bu-da-da-hee!"
As soon as Doflamingo finished speaking, he left quickly through the window, leaving only King Liku with a painful face, and at this time, King Liku still didn't understand that Doflamingo was playing with him, and he didn't mean to let go of the country at all. King Keliku still had a glimmer of hope, his face was anxious, he hated his incompetence, desperately thought of a way, and said nothing all night.
At dawn the next day, King Riku found that he had no time to hesitate, and immediately gathered his soldiers and ordered them to gather as much as ten billion Baileys as possible. Although the soldiers were a little surprised, they did not hesitate, they had the impression that King Riku was not a greedy person for money, and they chose to believe in the king they loved.
After a busy day, the money he made up was only five billion Bailey, looking at the upcoming dawn, King Liku was silent for a long time, just staring at the sky blankly, his heart was full of despair.
"Knock~" The bell of dawn fell like a meteorite, and King Liku knelt on the ground in despair.
"Boom! Have you decided, which of the three? As King Riku was in a slump, Doflamingo's voice slammed into his heart like a sledgehammer.
"Still, are you coming...... No, can you give me some more time, I'll definitely find a way to raise money, even if it's just for one day! No! Half a day is fine, please give me another chance, please! King Riku wanted to give up, but at the thought of his children and his cherished people, he immediately abandoned this thought, and if he abandoned his people, he would be a king, so he excitedly begged Doflamingo to intercede.
"No~ It seems that you can't help it, it's a pity, I didn't plan to use such a cruel method, but what I gave you a chance was that you didn't cherish it yourself, so the killing feast began! Boom! As soon as Doflamingo had finished speaking, he disappeared from the eyes of King Riku, leaving only the unruly laughter echoing in the room.
