LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 087
Dressrosa Palace, inside the main hall.
King Riku walked around the window with his hands on his back, and he looked into the distance from time to time, his face full of anxiety and unease.
Scarlet and Violet, who were also standing by the window, accompanied King Riku, and the black-haired girl was closing her eyes and giving a live oral broadcast.
“That’s awesome! As soon as Sephiroth clashed, he injured the dinosaur man’s eye.
However, the guy with the double knife suddenly came in…” Although
Violet felt a little uncomfortable in her heart for the war killing scene presented in her mind, she with clairvoyant ability, it was not the first time she had seen such a thing as fighting the dead.
Therefore, she was not frightened by the bloody scene, but in order to let her father and sister understand the current situation of the war, she tried to convey and express it in words as much as possible.
“Huh!? …… Wait, what’s going on?
Why are there so many civilians coming in the direction of the palace?
Those are… Pirates !?”
The black-haired girl just wanted to switch her attention to the east coast to see how the battle was going on on Zefa’s side, but she was surprised to find that hundreds of kingdom civilians were being carried and driven towards the palace by more than a hundred pirates armed with guns.
“How did they break into the heart of the kingdom from the periphery of the kingdom…?”
Hearing this, King Liku’s brows suddenly frowned, and he quickly asked,
“What? Pirates broke in? In which direction? ”
Over here!”
Violet stretched out his hand and pointed outside the hall, and King Riku was worried in his heart, and immediately ran out quickly, taking advantage of the architectural height advantage of the palace.
After a while, he saw the civilians who were driven together by the pirates with weapons in their hands at the gate of the square in front of the palace.
A young man dressed in coarse linen, dressed as a civilian, armed with a standard long knife and short blue hair, stood at the front of the crowd and shouted:
“King Riku! Did you see that? Your people are in my hands….
Now, if you don’t want them all to be killed by me, show up and negotiate with me!”
I’ll give you two minutes, and if I don’t see you in person, I’ll kill all these civilians!” Immediately
behind King Riku, the captain of the Royal Army Escort Guard who followed out from the main hall, after he saw the blue-haired man’s face clearly, he said with a look of amazement:
“Is it Dylan Yerrick with a bounty of 170 million…!?”
How did he get into the heart of the kingdom? And he also led hundreds of pirates…” King
Liku clenched his fists, his face looked a little gloomy:
“Now is not the time to say this, I’m going to negotiate with that guy!”
After that, he turned around and walked quickly to the gate of the palace.
“Nope! Your Majesty, this is too dangerous, you can’t accept the coercion of the other party!
We only have a dozen people now… There are more than a hundred people on the other side, if they shoot at you…”
“Shut up! Do you want me to give up my people?
King Riku scolded angrily, stopping the captain of the guard from continuing his words.
He has always practiced “benevolent government”, and he absolutely cannot tolerate the innocent civilians in the kingdom dying tragically in front of him.
He knew that his kindness as a woman was definitely not a king’s strength, but…
It’s one thing to know, but it’s another to do!
Soon, King Riku, with ten guards armed with firearms, stood on the wall at the gate of the palace and appeared in the eyes of Dylan Yerick.
Scarlet and Violet, the two of them followed cautiously, hiding in a corner of the city wall, secretly watching everything outside the square.
King Riku, who was protected behind by ten guards, looked serious and shouted,
“Dylan Jerrick, how can you release my people?”
Hearing this, the blue-haired man immediately laughed, and his tone showed a trace of contempt:
“Hahaha! This progress… What a surprisingly simple one!
I didn’t expect that King Liku, you would be fooled so simply
…” “What are you…”
King Liku’s brows frowned slightly, but his words were not finished…
The next moment.
Swish!
Dylan Yerick, who was still standing below the square, disappeared in an instant!
Immediately afterwards, King Riku felt a chill in his neck, and a long knife was placed on his neck.
“Don’t move! Otherwise I’ll kill him!” The
blue-haired man sneered and held King Riku hostage, and those guards who were unaware quickly raised the gun in their hands and aimed it at him.
“Father” × 2
Scarlet and Violet, the two of them were excited in their hearts, and quickly stood out from the corner, looking at their father with a nervous expression.
After Yerick glanced around at the guards on the city wall and the two young girls, the smile on the corners of his mouth became more and more obvious.
Swish!
Once again, under the shocked gazes of the guards on the city wall, the blue-haired man actually disappeared from the city wall with King Liku and reappeared on the square.
“This is … Devil Fruit ability?
King Riku’s eyes were shocked, and he glanced at the square and the city wall at the entrance of the palace.
“Hahaha! That’s right, Lao Tzu is a teleportation fruit ability, and he can accurately teleport wherever his eyes go!
With a wanton and maniacal smile on his face, Jerrick waved his hand and asked one of his men to bring a rope to bind King Riku.
After the kidnapping of the princess, Dressrosa began martial law, forbidding foreign ships to enter, and soldiers patrolled ports and main streets to prevent pirates from sneaking in, and those with weapons were taken care of.
And yet….
All this was useless in the face of Dylan Yerick’s teleportation fruit ability, and he entered Dressrosa from the sea very easily, and dressed up in disguise, secretly investigating the information of the royal family.
There are now only four members of the Riku royal family, King Riku Dolder III, as well as his princess and two daughters, the youngest of whom is a glaring fruit capable and can get a bird’s-eye view of the country.
Recently, the princess has visited other countries, so now there are only three royal family members in the country…
Because the Riku royal family has always practiced “benevolent government”, and the current king is diligent and loves the people, the royal family has a very high prestige and credibility.
So, a direct and effective plan was formed in Dylan Yerick’s mind….
After the remaining six pirate supernovas attacked from different directions, attracting most of the attention of the Royal Army and Navy, he began to take advantage of the vacuum.
As for those hundreds of civilians, he took them hostage on the road, in order to be able to better attract King Liku!
Forcing the other party not to rely on the little daughter’s ability to gaze at the fruit and hide from their pursuit!
As long as they took the king of this country hostage, even the navy did not dare to act rashly, so they could only obediently retreat, leave Dressrosa, and negotiate with them.
At that time, they imprisoned the royal family of this country, and even if they can’t classify Dressrosa as territory, they can extort a huge amount of money!
