The next day, before the sun was rising, the pirates of the Iron Mask Pirates launched an attack on Dressrosa.
On the docks, there is a strong treasury army patrolling, and the pirates are spotted.
"The pirates are coming!"
"Everyone, run!"
"Ordinary residents withdraw first, and the army is ready to fight!"
β¦β¦
The Riku King's Army organized a defense, but it was not enough to see in the face of the attack of the Iron Mask Pirates. Without Cyrus, there were few in the army of King Liku who could fight.
Under the leadership of Huo Di and the cadres in the Iron Mask, the pirates destroyed the defense line of the Liku King's army, pushing all the way and knocking down all the Liku King's army.
After the Liku King's army was defeated, the Iron Mask Pirates pushed all the way to the King's Heights.
The residents who didn't have time to run away were also captured by them and became captives of the Iron Mask Pirates.
The Iron Mask Pirates drove the captives to the front to block the bullets, and continued to advance towards the King's Heights.
Soon, they reached the King's Heights.
At this time, under the King's Heights, a large group of Liku King's army had gathered. Behind the army of the king of Riku, there was a large group of residents of Dressrosa with various weapons.
King Riku shouted encouragement: "Residents of Dressrosa, we cannot sit idly by any longer. These pirates are so vicious that running away will only make them more arrogant.
This is our home, here are our relatives and friends. Everything here is worth guarding with our lives.
The Navy is already on its way, and they could appear at any moment. Hold on, persistence is victory! β
"Victory!"
The army of the king of Riku and the inhabitants of Dressrosa roared at the same time, and the sound was turbulent.
King Liku had already figured it out, and now they had no way out. Only by uniting all forces to fight to the death and waiting for the rescue of the navy, they still have a way to live.
Otherwise, once the army of the King of Riku is defeated by this group of pirates, then the entire country will become the spoils of war for the pirates, and the people and property will be at their disposal.
King Riku is a good man, and he is very good to the people on weekdays, and he is very loved by the people.
So when he explained the stakes to the people and told them that they had no way out, the people chose to believe him.
They quickly gathered together, preparing to fight a team battle with the pirates under Wang Zhigao, and at the worst of all, they had to hold off the group of pirates and buy time for the arrival of the navy.
King Riku called Virgo for help, but Virgo did not make a fuss about it. After hanging up, Virgo checked the nearest navy and sent them to help Dressrosa.
Then he told Doflamingo about the route of the navy.
That night, the navy was on their way to Dressrosa when they were intercepted by the Don Quixote Pirates.
A naval officer on the navy warship stood at the bow of the ship and asked sharply at the pirates on the opposite side, "Don Quixote Pirates, what do you want to do?" As His Majesty's Seven Martial Seas' subordinates, you are also members of the government, why did you intercept us? β
Katerina stood at the bow of the pirate ship, looked at the naval warship in the distance and smiled coldly: "Don't worry, we don't mean anything else." I'm here to see you on your way. β
As she spoke, Caterina bent down slightly, and her body quickly turned into a strangely shaped cannon.
Rumble!
The cannon sounded, and the shells made a graceful arc in the air and landed heavily on the deck of the warship.
The sound of explosions shook the deck of the warship. Shrapnel flew sideways, and most of the navy on the deck disappeared at once.
The warship was blown up and destroyed, and a large hole appeared in the deck. The bottom of the ship was also cracked, and several large openings appeared, and seawater continued to pour in.
"Enemy attack!"
"Prepare for battle!"
"Pump, hurry up and pump water!"
"Damn it! Are the Don Quijote Pirates going against the World Government? Aren't you afraid of being stripped of the title of the Seven Martial Seas? β
β¦β¦
The navy was in a state of confusion, and some naval officers questioned loudly.
"As long as you're all dead, no one will know about it. The world government and we will be at peace. β
Katerina's voice came from the cannon, followed by another cannon shot.
After the gunfire, a violent explosion sounded again, and the naval warship received another shell.
After two powerful shells in a row, the navy warship became dilapidated, crumbling in the sea, and was about to sink.
"Quick, put down the boat!"
The naval officer made a quick decision and decided to abandon the ship and flee.
However, before their boat could be lowered, a third cannon rang out.
Rumble!
This time, the warship of the Navy was completely lost. Pieces of burning wood flew in all directions, leaving only a piece of wreckage in place.
Ordered to rescue the navy of Dressrosa, all annihilated!
King Liku didn't know all this. He's still thinking about dealing with this group of pirates and waiting for the navy's rescue!
The army of pirates of the Iron Mask Pirates is getting closer and closer, and the people on King Riku's side are becoming a little nervous.
However, to their surprise, the pirate army stopped a few dozen meters away from them and did not continue to advance.
The army of pirates parted in the middle, and Huo Di, the Man in the Iron Mask, walked out with his cadres.
Huo Di, the man in the iron mask, glanced at King Liku and the others, and said with a sneer: "King Liku, what do you mean by this?" Do you still want to go to war with us? β
King Liku said coldly: "My people and I are peace-loving, and we don't want to fight. But if you don't leave this country, we'll fight you to the end! β
Huo Di laughed and said, "Fight us to the end? It's ridiculous! King Riku, who gave you the courage to fight us?
Is it the weak King's army around you, or this rabble of ordinary residents? β
Huo Di, the man in the iron mask, sneered, and his cold gaze swept over everyone present.
King Riku said: "Even ordinary people will become extremely powerful when they want to protect their important homeland. β
Huo Di, the man in the iron mask, said: "It seems that you want to send them to death?" β
King Liku said: "It's not to die, but to fight hard, this is our last chance."
If we give up the fight now, we will be crushed by you one by one, and then captured by you and reduced to slavery! β
King Liku's words made the expressions of everyone present tense.
Because of the rampant slave trade in Doflamingo, it was not uncommon for pirates to capture civilians as slaves.
The people on the side of King Riku became bitter against each other, and their morale rose considerably. At this moment, King Liku's prestige in their hearts had reached its peak.
Looking at the change in the eyes of everyone around King Liku, Huo Di, the man in the iron mask, showed a mocking smile in his eyes.
