Chapter 211: Reality and Dreams
Rosie is gone,
It's like he came quietly, and he left lightly.
As Rossi himself said, he was just here to 'say hello'. If force is to be used: there are no living people in the palace now.
"Father, what shall we do now?"
Even Princess Scarlet, who is well protected and looks a little 'silly and sweet', senses the seriousness of the matter.
"We can only accept the conditions that the other party has proposed."
The middle-aged man on the throne sighed, the situation was stronger than people, and King Riku had to start thinking about the possibility of how to defeat the opponent in the 'bullfighting arena'.
That's right, Rossi directly and generously proposed, and tomorrow the two sides will win or lose in a gladiatorial battle in the bullfighting arena. If the Riku king's side loses, he will take the initiative to 'abdicate and make way for Xian', leaving Dressrosa in the management of the Don Quixote family.
Until then, it didn't matter if the Riku King's side wanted to 'notify the navy' for the World Government to intervene, or if they wanted to 'gather forces' to eliminate the Don Quixote.
The reason why Rossi came to 'say hello' was only to let King Riku recognize the facts, so as not to cause senseless killing.
This is the territory of the Don Quixote family from now on, and it is naturally a waste to kill 'one's own soldiers'.
As for the Don Quixote family losing... Rosie didn't say it, and she didn't think it would happen.
"Damn! Why would the Draconians be..."
King Liku rubbed his brows vigorously, feeling an invisible huge pressure coming towards him.
Look at that Don Quixote Rosinaudi's indifferent attitude, they are not afraid of the navy, or is there some kind of agreement with the world government?
In this case, I am afraid that the navy will not be able to count on it: and when the other side only gives them one day, even if they come from the nearest naval base, it will be too late.
"It's all right, Father."
Faced with the crisis of her family and country, Princess Scarlet also became stronger, stepped forward to comfort her father, and after the previous kidnapping incident:
"With Cyrus here, I will definitely be able to get through this difficulty."
"He's a legend of a 3,000-game winning streak in the arena and has never been defeated."
Hearing this, the statue-like man stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and replied firmly.
"For the sake of His Majesty King Liku, for the sake of Her Royal Highness the Princess, I will do my best!"
···
"That's all there is to it, but-"
Although King Riku is sometimes too 'kind', he is by no means stupid.
"Let the army lie in ambush near the bullring arena and attack with all your might in case of an accident! I personally contacted the navy, and even if I was defeated in the end, I could not allow Don Quixote to bring the country to ruin. ”

"Long waiting!"
In the largest restaurant in Dressrosa, a circle of people sits at a huge table.
Among these people are slender golden armor swordsmen who are five meters tall, tall blue fish-man warriors with round bodies, and mysterious huntress wearing masks...
Sitting on the main seat was naturally Dover in a pink feather coat, a black suit, and red sunglasses.
Next to him, there was still an empty seat.
The owner of the restaurant has already begun to serve plates of local specialties with great hospitality.
Although there was a big war at the dock not long ago, and even the princess was almost taken captive, for most ordinary people, life still has to go on, and if you can't make money, you can't support your family.
The Liku royal family is indeed incorruptible, but the army that protects the country is a gold-swallowing beast, and there is even heavier pressure:
Heavenly gold!
As a member of the world government, Dressrosa also needs to pay heavenly gold.
No matter how the world changes, for ordinary people, those who should open stores still have to open stores, and those who should work still have to work.
"It's Dressrosa Prawn Paella!"
More than a meter of pink lobster, surrounded by a circle of white rice, steaming with a steaming aroma. Mix the rice and shrimp meat just right;
"Macaroni with rose squid juice!"
The floral fragrance neutralizes the fishiness of the sea, leaving only the surging deliciousness, the crystal clear vermicelli is crisp and delicious like cartilage, and when you bite into it, your mouth is full of Q bombs;
"Spanish jelly soup with goblin squash!"
?
"Wait, what's a leprechaun?"
Faced with Guladius's question, the restaurant owner who served the food explained with a smile.
"In this country, there is an unseen legend of 'goblins', who like to play pranks, and at the same time they like to take care of plants,—— where they play pranks, the vegetables and fruits in the fields become very delicious."
After the introduction, the restaurant owner left to continue serving.
This wave of guests is freshly dressed and angry, hugging each other back and forth, and at first glance, it is obvious that he is not a bad moneymaker.
Coupled with the other party's indifferent tone of 'sending all the signature dishes here', as long as you make this order today, it will be worth a week!
"The so-called 'goblins' are actually small people."
As soon as the boss left, a voice rang out at the huge dining table, and at the same time a spoon reached for the 'Dressrosa Prawn Paella', scooped a bowl and put it in front of him, picked up the kuaiko and tasted it.
"It tastes good."
"Big Brother Rosie~~"
can quietly appear among the crowd, naturally only Rosie who has the ability of the 'Fruit of Silence'.
"What is Lilliputia?"
Guradius, who looked like a curious baby, continued to ask, while Rossi introduced as he ate:
"The so-called Lilliputians are intelligent creatures that are similar in appearance to humans: except that they are generally between 15 cm and 20 cm tall."
"Actually, their official name should be 'Dontarta', not far from Dressrosa, there is an island called Grimbit, and under the huge primeval forest on the island, there is the underground country of the Lilliputians 'Dontata'."
"Although this implant is very small, it is very fast, and if you don't pay attention, you won't even notice their existence, so there are rumors of 'goblins'."
"At the same time, their strength is not weak: they can easily defeat the ferocious 'betta fish' unique to this sea, and they are good at cultivating plants, and they are a race with no weak talent."
As for the shortcomings: the first is that there are few people, low technology, and a life of fishing and hunting, and many living materials need to be 'borrowed' from Dressrosa.
The second is excessive innocence and kindness, very easy to trust others, nine hundred years ago by the ancestors of the 'Don Quixote family' easily enslaved as coolies, working day and night, for the Dressrosa at that time to accumulate a huge wealth.
It can only be said that this race is not extinct, thanks to the 'betta fish' in the nearby sea who like to attack passing ships, and the equally kind character of the Liku royal family.
"Rosie, what is the attitude of King Liku?"
Forking the food into his mouth, Dover casually asked, if he was to make a plan, he would not give the Riku royal family any chance at all, and directly use the 'parasitic line' to control the Riku king and his army, so that they would be ruined.
Then the Don Quixote family took the country as 'heroes'.
"Judging by the way he looks, he should be preparing to fight tomorrow."
Rossi replied indifferently, the 'original' Don Quixote family operated all kinds of drugs, arms, and human trafficking, which made the navy chase after them, and even if it later became the Seven Martial Seas, the relationship with the navy's top brass was very bad.
That's why he had to let Virgo go undercover in the navy, cutting off the possibility of Dressrosa asking for help.
Otherwise, even if the King of Riku is killed, in the face of the Warring States, Tsuru and others who come to accountability, they will only have the end of fleeing in embarrassment.
But now it's different, because of Rossi's intervention, the business of the Don Quixote family couldn't be cleaner! It's all serious manufacturing, sea transportation, and combing a shipping route to the point where a large number of pirates are 'good'.
Coupled with Rossi's relationship with the top of the Navy, and the cause and effect of the surname Don Quixote, the top of the Navy must be undecided about their occupation of Dressrosa.
When the Don Quixote family rules Dressrosa and allows the country to live and prosper economically, there will be no more opinions from the navy or civilians.
Ultimately:
The gentleman's ze, the fifth and beheaded.
And in reality it doesn't take that long at all, five years is enough for people to forget their former rulers. For ordinary people, what they care about most is their relatives and friends, and to live better.
The family and the country are all over the world, and that is what the heroes and heroes worry about.
"With the strength and financial resources of our family, Dressrosa will definitely usher in a leap and bound, and naturally no one will complain at that time."
Even if there is, you can only keep your mouth shut.
Although Rossi does not like to kill, she is by no means soft-hearted.
"Ferver, then, for the Don Quixote of tomorrow—"
As Dover raised his glass, a group of people raised their glasses as well.
"Cheers!"

The next day,
A single piece of explosive news spread throughout Dressrosa.
The Don Quixote family, one of the 'Seven Martial Seas', will engage in a unique 'gladiatorial battle' with the Liku Royal Army.
Individual heads-up, team battles, aerial combat, underwater fighting... All events will be staged at the 'Bullfighting Arena'! Although the civilians of Dressrosa have a lot of confidence in the Liku King's army, they are also inhabitants of the New World.
Seven Martial Seas!
Even ordinary people are like thunder in these three words, and they know the weight of them.
Although for those who are ambitious, the Seven Martial Seas that have been 'co-opted' by the World Government are nothing more than lackeys. But ordinary people don't see it that way: if they could, they would wish that all the pirates at sea were 'Seven Martial Seas'.
At the very least, after accepting the title of the World Government's 'Seven Martial Seas', those strong people who are as strong as monsters and can easily destroy cities and countries will not attack ordinary people for no reason.
Therefore, after hearing the news that the Don Quixote family of the 'Seven Martial Seas' was going to fight with the Liku royal army, all the civilians rushed to the 'bullfighting arena', with apprehension, excitement, excitement... And they themselves can't tell their feelings.
"It's more of a confusion,"
At the top of the five-story 'bullfighting arena', which can accommodate 200,000 people, Rossi, who was standing above the circular arcade, looked at the ordinary people who were constantly pouring into the arena below, and tilted his head to Jinping next to him.
"This is an ordinary person, once they encounter natural and man-made disasters, they can only wait for the decision of the strong in confusion."
History has always been made by heroes;
And ordinary people can only go with the flow.
Or when they want to take control of their own destiny, they strive to jump out of the water and become the tide of the times.
"So, what kind of future are you going to lead them to?"
Jinping turned his head to look at one of the two kings of the Don Quixote family,
"Your Excellency Rosinandi."
"Well, if you have to define it, it's a 'peaceful' future."
As he spoke, Rosie stretched out his hand, his five fingers covering the sea beyond the island.
"I have a dream,"
"One day, above the Holy Land of Mary Joy, humans, fishmen, merfolks, giants, sky island people, fur tribes... Able to sit on the floor and laugh together; ”
"One day, the dangerous places hidden under the ocean and floating above the clouds will become places where ordinary people can easily play and travel back and forth;"
"One day, the world will no longer be hostile to race, country, or birth, and all intelligent beings will be able to give full play to their strengths and build their homes;"
"One day, the valley rises, the mountains fall, the four seas become one, and the light shines and shines on the world—"
In Jinping's stunned and sluggish expression, he stretched out his arms, and Rosie, who had a 'holy' face just now, suddenly smiled, and instantly changed from a 'saint of mercy and remembrance' back to a 'high-spirited boy'.
"Of course, that will be after I become 'invincible in the world'!"
After being invincible, Rossi didn't mind achieving that.
"It's really... Amazing dream,"
Jinping, who was shocked a lot, came back to his senses, and I have to say that Rosie's 'dream' is countless times bigger than the 'One Piece' pattern, and of course, the difficulty is also countless times greater!
"This road is not easy to walk."
"Haha, if there is no difficulty, it is not worthy of me-"
Peng~~
At this moment, fireworks exploded behind him, covering Rossi with a colorful glow and covering up the second half of his sentence.
"Let's go, the gladiatorial fight begins."
