Chapter 210: The King Sees the King
The battle ended quickly,
There were a large number of shipwrecks and human corpses floating on the sea, and on the dock filled with gunsmoke and bomb craters, the chief of the guard who rescued the princess talked to the tax collector and came straight to Rossi and the others.
"Thank you for your help, I'm Captain Dressrosa: Cyrus."
The man who walked over was tall and burly, with a resolute face, which made people feel that he was a reliable person at first sight, as if he was as determined as a 'hero statue'.
And he really deserves to be called a 'hero'.
Cyrus,
An orphan in the slum of Dressrosa who kills his friend because he was killed to avenge his friend.
Originally, he was going to be shot by the soldiers, but the king of the country, King Riku, stopped the soldiers.
Immediately afterwards, Cyrus was taken to the bullfighting arena by King Riku and became a sword fighter. King Riku promised to give him back his freedom if he could win 100 consecutive victories in the arena.
Four months later, Cyrus won 100 consecutive victories, but because he was hated as a murderer, he chose to stay in the arena, and in the fourth year he won 1,000 consecutive victories.
In the 3,000th battle, King Riku disguised himself as a sword fighter 'Riki', and after being defeated by Cyrus, King Riku invited him to become the captain of Dressrosa's army.
It can be said that the king of Liku, who has always comforted and relieved him, is a 'father' figure to Cyrus.
Cyrus, who became the captain of the army, served in public service, and coupled with his strong strength, he soon became the dream girl of countless girls in this country, causing the dissatisfaction of the 'silly white sweet' princess Scarlet.
And then:
Today, the naïve princess finally discovered that in the face of a crisis, only strong strength can save everything.
After abandoning her prejudices, the princess fell in love with the guards, and the two lived happily together.
Congratulations, congratulations~~
If it weren't for the Don Quixote family, in the original timeline, the princess died from Diamanti's black gun, and the guards who were turned into toys by Sucrose could not even shed tears in the face of their lover who died in their arms.
"It's too early to say thank you,"
The past, present, and future of the man in front of him flashed in his mind, and Rosie, who was wearing a black feather coat, shook his head slightly.
"Maybe tomorrow you will hate us, maybe you will thank us in the future, who knows?"
?!
Cyrus, who was confused by Rossi's 'magic stick' words, didn't know how to deal with it for a while, but fortunately, the delicate princess came over at this time.
"Gui'an, all of you from the Don Quixote family."
Although he had just been kidnapped, he had just cried profusely in the arms of his own army commander and guard; But no matter what, it is also a member of the royal family, and Princess Scarlet, who has cleaned up her mood, curts, and bowed to Rosie and the others.
"Little girl, Riku Scarlett, thank you for your help. Please also go to the palace to talk about it, my father, King Liku, has long admired the heroes and names..."
"Ferverver,"
However, the princess's diplomatic rhetoric was exchanged for Dover's sneer,
"Young princess, I am afraid that your father will have trouble sleeping when he hears the surname 'Don Quixote'."
"Learn more about the history of Dressrosa, Rossi, let's go!"
?!
As Dover turned to leave, the others followed.
Scarlet was left with a 'I said something wrong' face, and Cyrus, who was guarding her, helpless.
Because Princess Scarlet's confusion about the surname 'Don Quixote' made Dover very unhappy. - As the former ruler of Dressrosa, the 'latecomers' didn't know it.
"It's normal,"
Rosie, who was side by side with Dover, calmly took over the topic.
"Not to mention 800 years, even if it is 80 years, 8 years, it is enough to erase and distort most of history."
If it weren't for the indestructible historical text, the 'legitimate rule' of the world government would have been traced back to the birth of the planet.
"Hmph, I understand everything; But... We don't even know who we are! ”
Although Dover also knew that Rossi's words were right, this feeling that the Don Quixote family had 'invaded the door' and the other party was at a loss, made Dover feel... Inexplicably unhappy.
"Oh, how do you look like a child-"
"You're the kid!"
Faced with Dover's reciprocal words, Rosie was speechless for a moment.
It can only be said that Dover's personality is too 'mature', so that Rossi habitually ignores the fact that he is only 17 years old. As for Rossi herself, she is only 15... Under tremendous pressure, they all develop faster and earlier than others.
"Since you've come here, let's see the characteristics of this country first."
Saying that, the group swaggered through the market and began to appreciate the exotic customs.
————
"What?!"
Located in the middle of Dressrosa, on the 'King's Heights', stands a sprawling castle full of baroque style: this castle is 900 years old and was built by the ancestors of the Don Quixote family to oppress the little people.
"Don Quixote surname... Could it be 'those people'? ”
"No, it can't be, if that's the case, it's troublesome..."
Sitting on the throne was a middle-aged man with a scar on his left forehead.
The man has black hair in the shape of a hedgehog and his sideburns have begun to turn gray, and although he is large and strong, his essential job is still that of a 'king' rather than a sword fighter.
Although in terms of strength, he is also the second most powerful fighter in the country.
Riku Dold III,
Normally, everyone is accustomed to calling him 'King Riku', but his real name, 'Dold', is hardly mentioned.
"Father, Don Quixote... Is there anything wrong with this surname? ”
Faced with the question of his precious eldest daughter, the man on the throne rubbed his temples and explained patiently.
"More than 900 years ago, the land under our feet, the country called 'Dressrosa', was ruled by the Don Quixote royal family."
?
"Later, the Don Quixote royal family and nineteen other royal families formed a 'world government', so they all moved to the Holy Land of Mary Joya to become the 'Celestial Dragons', and our ancestors were elected by the people to become the new king."
Unexpectedly, 'Don Quixote' actually returned.
What I didn't expect was that the famous 'Seven Martial Seas' Don Quixote brothers were actually the 'Don Quixote'!
This is simply unscientific, how did the Draco people run out to the sea?!
Now was clearly not the time to dwell on this, and the man on the throne turned his gaze and fell on Cyrus behind his eldest daughter, Scarlet.
"Cyrus, have you seen the Don Quixote brothers?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Looking at the army commander who was standing upright and saluting, King Liku on the throne leaned forward slightly and asked the most crucial question:
"Do you think... Who is stronger than you? ”
···
"As long as His Majesty gives an order, the minister will fight to the death!"
Faced with Cyrus's answer, King Riku sighed and sat back on his throne.
With Cyrus's character, the fact that he uttered the word 'battle to the death' proved that he was not sure of defeating the two Don Quixote brothers.
This is also a normal thing, although Cyrus is a legend of 3,000 wins at the Dressrosa Arena, but it is only a legend of Dressrosa.
The sea is vast, the world is huge, and there are all kinds of 'legendary' powerhouses in other places, and compared with those who have fought all over the world, although Cyrus is strong, there is still a gap.
"I'm sorry to disappoint Your Majesty."
Facing Cyrus, who was on one knee, King Riku shook his head.
"It's not your fault, get up."
"Now that the Don Quixote brothers have set foot on this island, it is easy to guess their purpose: to reclaim the territory that belongs to their surname."
Dressrosa!
?!
"How can this be—"
Princess Scarlet objected at first, not because she was greedy for power. In fact, the entire Liku royal family can be regarded as 'extremely incorruptible', you must know that for the royal families of other countries, it is natural to loot civilians!
In the history of Rossi's previous life, civilians could still 'rise up' in a fit of rage, and the royal families of this world all controlled the group's army and personal force, and ordinary people did not even have the qualifications to resist, so they could only flee to the sea to be 'pirates'.
"The Don Quixote family... Now that they've all been away from Dressrosa for eight hundred years, what are they going to do now—"
"And we don't know what kind of people the Don Quixote brothers are, how can they trust the country to them?"
After listening to the words of the eldest princess, King Riku shook his head slightly.
"That's true, but..."
In this world, if you can solve problems by 'talking', what do you need fists and knives and guns to do?
"Anyway, contact the Navy first!"
"Then, Cyrus, let the army gather ——?!"
"Your Majesty!
! ”
"Father!"
A blade stretched out from behind the throne and struck the neck of the powerful King Riku. Let this 'star sword fighter' who once wore a helmet and sneaked into the arena instantly sweat coldly.
When...
"Don't panic,"
In a calm voice, a figure stepped out from behind the throne.
A black feather coat, a white tracksuit, a handsome face under blonde hair, and a calm expression even in the face of Cyrus's anger.
"It's you!
”
"Let go of my father's ——?"
Before Princess Scarlet could speak, Rosie had already taken back the three generations of oni who were lying across King Riku's neck, and then inserted it into the scabbard at his waist.
"Actually, I don't like that way of greeting, but—"
Stop!
!
A longsword of iron and rage had crackled towards Rossi.
There is no domineering or light on the long sword, but the huge power of Guangshan is terrifying! As soon as the long sword approached, it had already tore the ground around Rossi out of thin air.
"Don't get excited."
Faced with the furious attack of this sword, which could smash the giant ship into ruins, Rossi just calmly raised his arm.
Boom!
!
It was clear that the long sword was slashed at the feather coat, but it made a piercing metal explosion. Violent winds and shockwaves burst out from between the sword and the arm, and everywhere they went, it was like a galloping wind! There was a girl's exclamation.
Oops –
The exclamation behind him made Cyrus, who subconsciously made a move, come back to his senses, there is also a completely ineffective princess Scarlet in this hall, how can he forget this as a guard?
brush
Without hesitation, he turned around, and Cyrus, who was already ready to be attacked in the back, flew out, and the last one came first, and he hugged the princess who was shocked by the aftermath of the fight, and then looked back behind him:
The boy with the surname 'Don Quixote' stood where he was, without the slightest intention of pursuing.
No, if the other party really wants to assassinate, with that kind of silent stealth ability, I'm afraid that King Liku has already been... Even Cyrus himself did not have the confidence to survive the assassination of the other party.
"Your Excellency is... Rosinandi? ”
The black feather coat made Riku, who was still sitting on the throne, judge the identity of the person who came,
It's not that he doesn't want to get up and fight, it's that King Riku knows that joining the fight won't do anything. Cyrus, who is much stronger than him, can't even cut off the sleeves of the opponent's clothes, so what's the use of King Liku, the 'second strongest in Dressrosa'?
Moreover, the other party did not kill himself at the first time, indicating that maybe things will take a turn for the better-
"You were right just now,"
But as soon as the other party spoke, King Liku's heart sank.
"We, the Don Quixote, are indeed here to take back Dressrosa."
