Chapter 339: Great Change, Rightful Successor! (2-in-1)
On the shores of Dressrosa, Don Quixote and his party from the Western Sea stepped off the boat one after another and converged behind Doflamingo.
Everyone looked at the bustling and lively port in front of them, and everyone had a bright smile on their faces. Only Corazon, who was wearing the same shirt of a different color as Doflamingo, was smoking a cigarette and only had a light smile on his face.
"I didn't expect that my generation would have the opportunity to set foot on this land."
"Isn't that fate? Now, do you say yes? Corazon! ”
Doflamingo stepped on the ground of Dressrosa with both feet, his smile did not decrease, and there was a little more emotion in his tone, and as he spoke, Doflamingo turned his head slightly, looked at Corazon behind him, and asked out loud.
Corazon faced Doflamingo's inquiry, his face showing a little reminiscence and yearning, and then nodded slightly, the corners of his mouth curled a little wider.
Seeing that his brother seemed to be very happy, Doflamingo was in a good mood, suddenly opened his arms, took a deep breath, walked to Corazon's side, put his arm around Corazon's shoulder, and whispered in Corazon's ear:
"After taking Dressrosa, I will be able to become a Draco again."
"Corazon, don't worry, I'll get those guys to re-admit you and my identity."
"When the time comes, no one will be able to bully our brothers."
"Not only that, but I'm going to make those people pay!"
"Fur Fur!"
As he spoke, Doflamingo suddenly chuckled, and behind him, a group of members of the Don Quixote family looked at the Doflamingo brothers with a little fanatical eyes.
"Na~Na~"
"Dover, don't forget your family when the time comes!"
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Torrebol came to Doflamingo's side, pointed to his nose, and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Doflamingo patted Torrebol on the shoulder and replied with a smile: "Of course, you are my family!" ”
In Doflamingo's mind, family is really a very important thing.
For Doflamingo, the closest and dearest person is actually his mother, but since their family left the Holy Land, as the former Draconians, they have not been able to get a normal life at all, the house was burned, their property was taken away, and even they themselves were captured by the people who hated the Draconians and tried to burn them to death.
At the critical moment, although the family survived by relying on Doflamingo's awakening of the overlord color, in the process of escaping, Doflamingo's most cherished mother died of illness.
He blamed his father for his mother's death, and in order to regain his "right to live", he killed his father with his own hands in order to return to the Holy Land.
The ideal is very full, but the reality is very cruel.
The Celestial Dragons who have left the Holy Land have been regarded as "ordinary pariahs" by the Five Old Stars, where can they return to the Holy Land if they want to?
The miserable experience of being a child made Doflamingo, who was already "born evil", completely distorted, but Doflamingo's heart needed to find a sufficient and reasonable reason for his evil deeds to convince his heart.
The word "family" has become the driving force for his actions, as long as it is for his family, it doesn't matter if he kills his father; As long as it is for the sake of the family, murder and arson, robbery and plunder are also justified.
But in essence, everything Doflamingo does is ultimately for himself.
In his mind, he is far greater than his family.
Because of this, the biological father who made Doflamingo suffer when he was a child, is damned; Corazon, who then betrayed himself, also deserves to die; His "family" also deserves to die when they have a bad influence on him or are no longer valuable to him.
But then again, Doflamingo is still very preferential to his useful "family".
The true essence of the Don Quixote family, which Doflamingo established under the coaxing of Torrepol and others, is a collection of interests. Torrebol and the others will surround Doflamingo, is it because of some family affection? Don't laugh, that's because of Doflamingo's qualifications as a "king" since he was a child!
The arrival of the Don Quixote family did not attract much attention, and in Dressrosa, commerce and trade were so prosperous that there were too many passengers and merchant ships to count.
The coastal guards will only be dispatched when facing pirates, and they basically do not censor passing merchant ships.
The Don Quixote family did not fly the pirate flag, and they did not cause riots after they went to the island, so their arrival was not known at all.
Once on the island, Doflamingo dispersed his men and went to the city to find out what to do.
He wanted to confirm an information that Jikokuenichi and his men had indeed withdrawn from the island. Doflamingo was a cautious man, and he didn't want to get himself into trouble that he couldn't handle.
Although he is no longer the admiral of the Navy Headquarters, his reputation in the Navy can be said to have completely disappeared. But this does not mean that people like Ji Guoyuan are what their Don Quixote family can provoke at this stage.
Even if he is wanted by the world government, if Ji Guoyuanyi still regards Dressrosa as his own territory and makes a rash move, I am afraid that there will be a big problem.
When his men went to inquire about information, Doflamingo himself wandered around the city with Corazon.
A few hours later, the members of the Don Quixote family, who had gone out to inquire for information, joined Doflamingo and Corazon one after another, and reported the basic situation of the country to Doflamingo.
"Ji Guoyuanichi and his Sword of Dawn navy are indeed all gone."
"The Whitebeard Pirates came to Dressrosa more than a month ago, but we've already inquired and this isn't the Whitebeard Pirates' territory."
"They didn't 'plant the flag' here!"
"The naval branch of the Sword of Dawn here has been taken over by the troops of King Liku III, and is responsible for both coastal defense and urban security."
"The head of the guard is the son-in-law of King Riku III."
"And"
"I heard about an incident when after Kokuenichi and his men returned to the island, a march broke out on the island against his entry into the island."
"Dressrosa, it should be completely cut off from the forces of Jiguo Yuanyi!"
Finding out the news is really an easy thing for the members of the Don Quixote family. And the news they found out was well known to the people of the island.
At that time, there was a lot of movement about the landing of the Whitebeard Pirates, and some people, even those who had not seen the Whitebeard Pirates with their own eyes, heard the sirens on the coast at that time, and afterwards, there were many people who came into contact with the members of the Whitebeard Pirates, and this kind of news was easy to find.
And there is news about Ji Guoyuan, it will be easier, the previous protests of the people on the island, there were many people participating, and the movement was very large, and Ji Guoyuan and a ship left the island can be seen.
And the original Sword of Dawn's base in Dressrosa was indeed taken over by the country's army, and those soldiers would usually consume in bars and restaurants around the base, and some things have been spread widely.
"Excluded from the status of a member state by the world government."
"It's not the territory of some sea hegemon."
"Wouldn't that make Dressrosa a 'Borderlands'?!"
After the information of his subordinates was summarized on Doflamingo's side, Doflamingo's face suddenly showed a smile and a chuckle came out of his mouth.
He suddenly felt that God still favored him, and if such a country with developed transportation and prosperous commerce could be controlled in his hands, it would be an excellent boost for his career development.
"Dover, I have news here."
"It's also a little bit important."
Just as Doflamingo's mind began to look ahead to his future, Saigniol Peake suddenly spoke.
At this time, Saignior Peake has not changed into his "milk 'tyrant' suit", but is wearing a straight suit, with a slender figure and sunglasses, like a "pretty boy".
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Doflamingo let out a soft mutter, and turned his head to look at Señol Peake.
"The commander of the city defense army is the son-in-law of King Liku III."
"His name is Cyrus, and he used to be the base chief of the Dawn Sword in Dressrosa's naval branch."
"Former Vice Admiral, now a wanted criminal with a bounty of 600 million!"
As soon as Saigniol Pique's words fell, the rest of the Don Quixote family couldn't help but look at each other. In this day and age, the means of information circulation are very limited, and the only way for ordinary people to receive information is through official newspapers.
Before coming to Dressrosa, Don Quixote did not know that there was such a relationship between Cyrus and the family of King Liku.
"Cyrus"
Doflamingo muttered, frowning slightly. Corazon's reaction was also very fast, and he took out a stack of bounty orders out of nowhere, quickly found out Cyrus's wanted warrant, and handed it to Doflamingo's hands.
At the same time, I don't know where to find a drawing board, and quickly write something on the drawing board:
"Big brother, give up here."
"This island is inextricably linked to Jiguoyuan."
"It's too risky, it's better to retreat."
Corazon knew what his eldest brother was, and if he was allowed to take charge of this Dressrosa, he couldn't imagine what the country would become.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Corazon just wanted to persuade Doflamingo to get out of here as soon as possible.
Doflamingo's gaze quickly swept over the sketchpad in his brother's hand, his face contemplative, and indeed there was some hesitation in his heart.
"Now, Dover!"
"I don't have to worry about it!"
"That Cyrus must have 'separated' from Jiguoyuan!"
"He is the son-in-law of King Liku, and after Ji Guoyuanyi was deprived of his position as a general, there is no future at all if he continues to follow Ji Guoyuanyi, right?"
"Rather than leaving like a lost dog like Jiguo Yuanyi, it is better to stay and continue to be the king's son-in-law!"
"Hey, hey, it must be separated! Separated! ”
Just as Doflamingo was thinking, Torrebol's voice came from the side, gently patting Doflamingo on the back and encouraging.
Torrebol has fallen in love with this prosperous and stable country, and the place where they were before was too small to compare with the prosperity of a "big country".
Just because of such a thing as "it is possible that it is related to Jiguoyuanichi", let him give up such a place, how can Torrebol be willing?
Torrebol's words made Doflamingo's brows gradually stretch, and without giving others a chance to express his opinions, he chuckled and said:
"Fur-fur-"
"There's no rush. We have time. ”
"Let's stay in Dressrosa for the time being."
"Observe and observe, isn't there an answer?"
Doflamingo said and looked around at the shops around him, then found a random inn and walked over, and as he went, he said to the people behind him:
"During this time, everyone should not be idle."
"No matter where it is, there are always some forces that are in the shadows."
"Let's take control of the underground forces here with the Don Quixote family first!"
The Don Quixote family stayed in an inn in Dressrosa, and some time later, Doflamingo's men "defeated" a large local sugar merchant in Dressrosa, swallowed up the other party's property, and then moved into the other party's estate.
This incident did not cause any riots, because on the surface, when the big businessman and his family went out to play, he suddenly went crazy, hacked his family to death with a knife, and then committed suicide.
This scene was seen by many people at that time, so the process of investigation by the city defense army was also very fast, and the case was closed in just three days. As for the industry, Doflamingo is not a person without funds, and it is easy to get it by throwing money and using some small means.
The sugar business, in the New World, is a big business.
In other words, the sugar business is a big industry in any chaotic situation!
Although Dressrosa is peaceful all year round, the new world is not, and sugar, as a strategic material, is a "commodity" in the true sense.
With the industry, Doflamingo used commerce as a cover for himself, while developing an intelligence system, collecting information about the island, and learning a few things about Cyrus.
Then, one day more than a month later, Doflamingo used a shipload of cargo to catch a sea thief in the New World with a bounty of 150 million and came to Dressrosa to steal the cargo.
At the same time, Doflamingo also deliberately leaked the information of the sea pirate to the city defense army controlled by Cyrus, so that the two forces "met unexpectedly" at sea.
There was a great battle between the two sides, and Cyrus, after paying the price of a hundred of his men, finally strangled the pirate group of the pirates.
Doflamingo, who had watched the battle from afar, had a preliminary understanding of the strength of Cyrus and his city defenses, and after roughly understanding the strength of his opponent, Doflamingo's claws finally reached out to the family of King Liku.
At night, the window of King Liku III's bedroom suddenly opened, and a soft sound entered the room.
"Da!"
In the moonlight, a tall, slender figure landed in front of the windowsill.
Doflamingo sat on the windowsill and looked briefly at the furnishings of King Liku's room, a smile on his face.
King Liku III, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, was born as a warrior, and his intuition was also quite sensitive, and not long after Doflamingo appeared, he suddenly woke up from his sleep, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Doflamingo sitting in front of the window at this time.
"What people!"
King Riku woke up suddenly, jumped up from the bed, grabbed the long sword hanging from the wall, drew his blade, and looked at Doflamingo coldly.
"Fur fur fur."
"My name is Don Quixote Doflamingo!"
"I'm here just to reclaim our family's ancestral land."
Hearing this, King Liku's eyes widened slightly, his eyes showed a little dazedness, and he muttered in some surprise: "Don Quixote? ”
Then he quickly walked out of his astonishment, looked at Doflamingo carefully, recognized the other party, and then frowned and said:
"Doflamingo"
"You are one of the Seven Martial Seas that the World Government said some time ago."
"Ancestral land. A few hundred years ago, the country was indeed controlled by the Don Quixote family. ”
"But after the Don Quixote became the Draconians, they abandoned the country."
"It's us who bring the people of this country together and build this country with our hearts."
"Now, hundreds of years later, Don Quixote's people say they want to take back their ancestral land?"
"It's ridiculous."
"Not to mention you're still a pirate!"
Listening to King Riku's words, Doflamingo just smiled and didn't refute anything.
"I am the rightful owner of this country."
"Soon, you'll realize that."
"Fur-fur-"
As he spoke, Doflamingo leaped lightly and disappeared in front of the ledge.
"Boom !!"
King Riku hurriedly rushed to the window, and was about to check where Doflamingo had gone, when he heard a loud noise in the town not far away.
After the loud bang, the roaring fire instantly lit up the night, and even if King Liku was far away from the explosion point, he could see that a strange phase suddenly appeared in the distance.
"This, this."
"Is it an assault?!"
King Liku was shocked, and hurriedly picked up his long sword, put on his light helmet, and hurriedly left the bedroom.
The change in the city has attracted the attention of the guards in the palace, and King Liku also made people blow the horn of assembly at this moment, and it didn't take long for King Liku to ride a horse and lead a group of guards in the direction of the explosion.
