Chapter 236: Wealth and Strength (Part 3!) )
In the original book, Dressrosa will be occupied and ruled by Doflamingo, and even in order to consolidate his absolute authority, he will even use childlike fruits to 'eliminate' the rebels and implement high-pressure rule.
But it is undeniable that under Doflamingo's management, Dressrosa has indeed prospered, and it can be described as extremely prosperous.
On the other hand, Dressrosa, now ruled by King Riku, seems to be peaceful, but it is full of poverty and ruin, and even the sadness of people starving to death in the streets is often seen.
Kindness and gentleness are not exchanged for prosperity, but evil oppression has turned a poor land into a prosperous kingdom, which can be said to be an extreme irony, and it is also the difference between strength and weakness.
Dressrosa will become prosperous after being occupied by Doflamingo, and the root cause is undoubtedly because Doflamingo is a strong man, and his strength has created that no one dares to provoke Dressrosa and let it develop rapidly.
And now, because of the weakness of King Liku, even if he loves peace, Dressrosa is always a weak country, not only will he often be sacked by pirates, but the weak King Liku does not have the ability to make the kingdom strong, so that Deresrosa has become as poor as he is now.
Poverty and prosperity, two stark contrasts, this made Qin Ge undoubtedly feel the truth that 'weakness is the original sin'.
Knock knock knock!!
The knock on the door suddenly sounded, and Qin Ge also withdrew his gaze looking out of the window, and after responding, he saw that it was the owner of this weapon shop who came in from outside the door.
"My lord, I have taken care of your knife, please check it!" The owner of the weapon shop respectfully held the red blood with the scabbard in his hand, took a few steps forward and bent down to hand it to Qin Ge.
He took the red blood at will, held the hilt of the knife with his right hand, and pulled out the blade hidden in the scabbard, only to see the bright and blood-red edge immediately reveal the air, and even faintly diffuse the room with a cold atmosphere.
"Yes, your skills are very exquisite, and you have maintained my red blood very well, fortunately!" Holding the red blood in front of him, and groping the blade with the thumb of his left hand to check it, Qin Ge showed a look of satisfaction, and then praised the weapon shop owner.
The owner of the weapon shop immediately showed a flattered look, and at the same time bowed down in a more respectful posture and said: "This is all what should be done, it is my honor to be able to sharpen the blade for the leader!" ”
This weapon shop is one of the industries developed by Dark Blade in the new world, and the boss is naturally also a person from Dark Blade, and in the face of Qin Ge, the supreme boss of the organization, he will naturally put on such a respectful attitude.
Hearing the other party's flattering words, Qin Ge smiled faintly, and at the same time said in a flat voice: "From your current words, I feel your awe of me, but I am also curious, where did you get the courage to betray me!" ”
The weapon shop owner's body trembled, his face immediately turned pale, and he didn't look back, just frantically ran away towards the door.
Boom~!
An ice bullet flew lightning into the back of the head of the weapon shop owner who had already run to the door, then flew out through the forehead, and then punched a hole in the wall of the corridor outside the door, and then disappeared.
The sound of the fall was immediately heard, and the owner of the weapon shop did not escape the room until he died, and rushed to the door with his eyes wide open, blood and brains flowing down the hole in his head.
Boom Boom Boom !!!
Almost at the same time, a violent explosion suddenly sounded around the weapons shop, and shells appeared frantically from all directions, and the terrible explosion and the flames generated engulfed the weapon shop at once.
"What's going on, why did it suddenly explode!"
"It's not good, run, it's a pirate!"
"Run, pirates have entered the country!"
“......!”
The civilians in the nearby streets were stunned by this sudden scene, and when they saw the many pirates rushing out of the hidden alleys in all directions, they hurriedly fled.
"Quickly, all of them will be blocked up by Lao Tzu, if the bloodletting dragon Jianhao escapes, Lao Tzu will not be able to spare you!"
However, in just a few moments, when the bombardment ended, more than hundreds of pirates surrounded the arms shop that was engulfed in the thick smoke of gunfire, and it was the captain of the group of pirates, a rough-looking man, who shouted.
This man has a strong physique, his exposed upper body is covered with strong muscles, he is more than three meters tall, and he also carries a large hammer as a weapon.
The weight of this hammer is at least more than a ton, but the rough man carrying this hammer does not have the slightest difficulty, but seems to be holding only a small dagger in his hand, which seems to be very light and casual, which can also be seen that the strength of this rough man is extremely strong.
"Boss, there's no need to be so nervous, we have already added a large amount of drugs to the food that the other party ate just now, and now we have been bombarded with more than a dozen heavy artillery, no matter how powerful the Blood Dragon Sword Hao is, he must have been killed by now!" On the side, a pirate's own boss couldn't help but be curious with such a defensive posture.
The rough man slapped the speaking pirate to the ground very roughly, and said coldly: ", if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, although you can get a bounty of 500 million Berry by providing the whereabouts of the Blood Dragon Sword Hao, but Lao Tzu wants to get a powerful Devil Fruit even more!" ”
As he spoke, the rough man looked at the weapons shop surrounded by them, his eyes full of fiery greed.
At this time, more than half a month has passed since the battle of 'Selum', and similarly, under the intelligence agencies of various forces, Jeffrey's death has undoubtedly spread to the entire sea, and Qin Ge has once again entered the eyes of the world.
Although no one saw with their own eyes that it was Qin Ge who killed Jeffrey at that time, there were some things that did not need evidence, so Qin Ge was undoubtedly identified by all forces and even the Whitebeard Pirates as the murderer of Jeffrey.
Of course, this is also true.
A captain was killed, and the Whitebeard Pirates naturally launched an even more frantic pursuit and search for Qin Ge in more than half a month.
Not only was the hunt order, but the Whitebeard Pirates also issued a huge bounty on Qin Ge across the sea.
No matter who it is, as long as they can provide information about Qin Ge's whereabouts, then they will be able to get the 500 million berry bounty given by the Whitebeard Pirates.
And if Qin Ge was to be captured or killed, it would be possible to obtain a powerful Devil Fruit that was at least at the level of an animal ancient species from the Whitebeard Pirates.
Wealth, power, these two things can undoubtedly attract countless people to chase, and greed can even overshadow the fear of the heart.
Just like the owner of the weapon shop, even though Qin Ge was the controller of the Dark Blade, and he was the person of the Dark Blade, he still chose to betray Qin Ge under the temptation of greed.
