Pirate's Steel Chain Finger

Chapter 124 Heroes debut



The full moon was in the sky, and the night breeze was slightly cool. .1kanshu

King's Heights, this is the highest place in the Kingdom of Dressrosa and the location of the royal palace.

The time was 9:30 pm, and a black shadow crossed the night sky and flew to the top of the palace without anyone noticing.

King Riku felt a chill in his sleep.It's not the kind of physical cold, but the bone-chilling chill emanating from ancient instincts when unarmed human beings encounter a man-eating beast.

He woke up suddenly, and sat up straight from the bed sweating profusely, only to find that a window in the bedroom had been opened at some point.Under the fluttering curtains, a tall man in a pink feather coat was leaning on the wide window sill with his legs crossed.

"Who are you!?" King Riku asked loudly in surprise. You must know that this is the highest point of the palace, and it is also the top of the entire Dressrosa. How did this person get up?

The tall man raised his index finger and shook it slightly, and said loudly, "...don't be so loud...and don't call anyone over..."

"My name is...Donquixote Doflamingo." The man's face turned towards King Riku, but his originally handsome face was distorted by weird sunglasses and a ferocious smile. "I just came back. I'm from this country." The legitimate king.”

King Riku's face immediately turned pale, and he murmured, "...I just recently heard about a pirate named. I've been quite worried about this..."

Doflamingo snapped his fingers perfunctorily, "Yes, your anxiety came true. I am who you thought I was."

"I heard that you attacked the transport ships shipped to the Celestial Dragons from various countries!" King Riku said with a heavy expression, "and used this to threaten the World Government, and this became the 'King Shichibukai'."

"Are you quite well-informed?" Doflamingo tilted his head. "Ah! Those guys have a headache. They don't know how to deal with me. For someone like me who is not afraid of the 'Celestial Dragons' Just existing is enough to make them miserable..."

There was undisguised malice in his tone, "Since you know my strength and background so well, it's easy to talk."

Doflamingo sat up suddenly, his malice evident in his words, "I will make a bid and sell this country to you, King Riku."

"...How can we have so much money!" King Liku was sweating profusely and his face was pale. For the poor Dressrosa royal family, this amount was an astronomical sum of money that could not be raised without eating or drinking for several years.

"Don't show that face." Doflamingo sneered and said, "I could have just grabbed it without giving you this chance."

As he spoke, he stood up on the spacious window sill, his pink feather coat fluttering in the wind. "The time limit is before sunrise tomorrow. You are not allowed to ask for help from other countries! Come and try, what are the abilities of the king of your country?" How old is it?”

Sitting on the bed, King Riku could only watch Doflamingo easily jump off the window sill and fly into the night sky, leaving only one sentence floating into the room on the wind.

"Remember, don't reveal my existence to the citizens..."

........................

The time is 10:21 pm.

King's Heights, King's Council Hall.

Many ministers and kings were urgently summoned to this royal chamber. When they heard what the king said to them, they were first in disbelief, and then all were filled with indignation.

"Your Majesty! Can't we choose to go to war!?"

"That's right! With the help of the King and the neighboring countries, even the King's Shichibukai will not be able to succeed!"

"No!!" King Riku crossed his arms and sternly stopped everyone's suggestions. "It sounds nice, but it's actually true! That is inhuman behavior!!"

"The 800 years of war-free history in Dressrosa is proof that we are not what we are!!" King Riku loudly advised the ministers and the king, "Don't lose to the wild! We must maintain our 'humanity'! Never kill each other." !!”

He looked at the clock above his head, gritted his teeth and said loudly, "There is no time anymore... rush to various towns in the country immediately and collect cash in the country! If you can't do this, this country will become a 'country of pirates'" !Although this will temporarily lose the trust of most people, it is only for these few hours! When everything is over, we will compensate everyone with sincerity. Now this is the only way!! Lies and perfunctory methods will do! It doesn’t make sense!”

"But, there are not so many rich people in our country!" asked Tegu Repante, the king's army commander.

"Anyway, try your best within the time limit. This is related to the life and death of the country!! Everything is for Dressrosa to continue to exist!"

After saying that, the king's warriors immediately took action. The commander of the Taigu Army was about to leave, but was held back by King Liku.

"Taiko, listen up." In the deserted corner, King Riku said solemnly, "If the fundraising fails, I will use this to end Doflamingo's life!"

He took out a string of extremely powerful explosive bombs from his arms. "Then you go and seek assistance from the surrounding countries. You must not let this country fall into the hands of Don Quixote again... I beg you!"

The commander of the Taigu Army nodded seriously, "Your Majesty, please rest assured!"

………………

The time is 10:58 pm.

The captain of the Taigu army rushed to the square in Tarosa Town with a few soldiers, and was asking the people to hand over all their property.

"Hey! Taigu army commander, what do you mean by this!"

"You actually did such a thing...His Majesty the King will not spare you!!"

The people are naturally unwilling, and they don't want to say why, so let us hand over all our property. Robbery is not so ruthless, is it?

"This is the king's order!!" Commander Taigu said bitterly, and could only persuade the people loudly, "There is no time to explain to everyone! Please believe in His Majesty King Liku and spend all the cash you can." Turn it over to us!!"

"Even if you say so..." The people were arguing with each other when suddenly the huge screen in the square made a buzzing sound, and then the image of King Riku was reflected through the image phone bug.

"All over Dressrosa, please listen to me." On screens across the country, King Riku said with a serious face. "I know this request comes too suddenly! It can even be said to be an unreasonable request! But please Don’t ask too many questions, all citizens please lend me all your property...please lend me all your money!"

Saying that, King Liku on the screen fell to his knees with a thump, and his forehead hit the hard floor hard.

The entire nation stared at the screen dumbfounded, unable to understand why His Majesty the King, who has always been kind and kind, would issue such a puzzling order.

"Your Majesty the King! How can you kneel down and kowtow!!" Many ministers around King Liku hurriedly grabbed his arms and tried to pull him up. "You must not! You are the king of a country! Show yourself like this in front of the world. Your ugly behavior... you will become the laughing stock of the whole world! Please get up quickly!!"

King Riku suddenly broke away from the pull of the ministers, knelt on the ground and begged loudly to the video phone bug, "Please everyone!! This is definitely not a joke!! To show sincerity, even if I chop my hands and feet on the spot, there is no problem. !!”

The struggle on the faces of the people gradually disappeared, and some people began to shout, "Everyone, act quickly! Do what the king says and take out all your property!"

"King Liku loves the people like a son, he will not harm us!"

"This happened suddenly, there must be something unspeakable."

"Hurry up! Go get the money!"

Regardless of men, women and children, the whole country began to take action.Paper money, gold coins, and wallets, the people contributed all their property and handed it over to soldiers all over the country one after another.

The captain of the Taigu army looked at the shocking scene before him, and the excitement in his heart could not be restrained.This is the hearts of the people of King Riku... and it is also the people's trust in the Riku family for 800 years!What a beautiful country, she must be able to successfully tide over the difficulties!

"I'm sorry..." the army commander wiped the tears from his eyes and said loudly, "We borrowed the money first!"

With that said, he turned to the soldiers and said, "Quick! Send all the property in the country to the palace! Quick!"

"Wait a minute! Captain of the Taigu Army!!" A soldier pointed at the screen and shouted, "The King has gone to Sebio Town, and it is being played on the screen!"

"what!?"

………………

run away...

Dressrosa, the southern town ‘Sebio’.

A galloping galloping horse rushed into the town of Sebio carrying the fully armed King Liku.

run away...

The soldiers and the people had just handed over the money and were very excited to see His Majesty the King in person.

"Your Majesty, there is no need for you to come in person, we will... eh?"

Before a male citizen who greeted the king could finish his sentence, King Liku swung his long sword and fell to the ground!

run away...

King Liku drew out the longbow on his back, and shot the fire arrow tied with the explosive bomb directly into the residential area in the distance.Subsequently, the explosive flames soaring into the sky destroyed the residential area of ​​the town and the people in it.

"Run away..." Under the live broadcast of the video phone bug, King Liku kept slashing people and soldiers with his sword. With tears on his face and blood in his throat, he struggled and screamed, "Run away... his body started to move on its own." Come on...you guys run away..."

In front of the screens in other regions, both the people and the soldiers were stunned.

The commander of the Taigu Army, whose face was filled with tears, fell to his knees in despair and murmured, "Your Majesty the King... what are you doing?"

And far away on the top of a certain building in the King's Heights, a tall figure in a pink feather coat was laughing wildly.

"咈咈咈咈...... really a... cruel king......"

Doflamingo raised his right hand, with his thumb, middle finger, and little finger slightly raised, as if pulling a puppet. "Come on, the night has just begun... lovely soldiers, jump up too..." "

"Parasitic wire!"

Invisible threads fell from the sky like raindrops, accurately landing on every king's soldier.

Then, the tragedy began!

Regardless of men, women or children, the soldiers drew their knives and started wantonly killing all the people they could see!

The soldiers shed tears, but their bodies did not obey their orders at all. They became the villains of this tragedy like puppets on strings.

"Your Majesty King Riku! Why would you do such a thing!?"

"Your Majesty will not make such a mistake. There must be some mistake... Uh-huh!"

"Did we commit any crime?"

Crying, struggling, and running away in vain. The unarmed people were massacred unilaterally by the king and the king!

King Liku, with blood and tears in the corners of his eyes, was unable to roar anymore.He understands that it is useless to say anything now... the country is over.

This is a trap set by Doflamingo!

………………

King's Heights.

Three figures appeared next to Doflamingo, one was covered in mucus, the other was painted with oil paint, and the third was very strong and wearing a cross helmet.

‘Club’ Trebol, ‘Diamond’ Diamanti, ‘Spade’ Pica! The three of them are the top officials of the Don Quixote family and Doflamingo's most trusted cronies.

"I said! I said! It should be fine, right? Dover—" 'Snotty Man' Trepole said in his characteristic annoying tone.

"Idiot! Don't be so impatient!" Doflamingo, who was squatting on the roof, had a ferocious and bloodthirsty smile on his face, showing the madness in his heart. "It's still far away... When this country is surrounded by fear... When this country hates King Riku from the bottom of its heart..."

He licked the corner of his mouth, not hiding the malice emanating from his heart, "It's the hero's turn to appear!"

………………

The time is 11:48 pm.

Dressrosa, the port town 'Acacia'.

The fierce fires burning in the town reflected the night sky red. Cries, explosions, and the terrible sound of swords cutting in! The town, like the rest of Dressrosa, was gripped by utter madness.

The unarmed people ran and fled, or knelt down and begged for mercy, but they were still hacked and killed by the tearful soldiers of the king's army wielding their swords.

A wailing little girl stood in the middle of the street looking for her mother. Behind her, several king soldiers appeared, holding long swords stained with blood in their hands.

"Run away! Little girl!" Their faces were full of tears, but they 'watched' helplessly as they approached the crying girl with a knife.

suddenly! The soldiers' eyes turned white and they fell to the ground with foam at the mouth. Not just a few of them, but all the manipulated king's soldiers in this port town lost consciousness at the same time and collapsed to the ground.

In the night sky, a black shadow flew towards the direction of King's Heights at high speed, and the black velvet cloak behind him fluttered in the night wind.

The battle to determine the fate of Dressrosa is about to begin!
