Chapter 236 Wealth and Power
In the original novel, Dressrosa will be occupied and ruled by Doflamingo, and even in order to stabilize his absolute authority, he will even use the fruit of childishness to "annihilate" the rebels and implement high-pressure rule.
But it is undeniable that under the management of Doflamingo, Dressrosa has indeed achieved prosperous development, which can be described as extremely prosperous.
On the contrary, although Dressrosa, now ruled by King Liku, seems to be peaceful, there is poverty and dilapidation everywhere, and there are often people who starve to death on the streets.
Kindness and gentleness did not bring prosperity, but evil oppression turned a poor place into a prosperous kingdom. This can be said to be an extreme irony, and it is also the difference brought about by strength and weakness.
Dressrosa will become prosperous after being occupied and ruled by Doflamingo. The root cause is undoubtedly because Doflamingo is a strong man. His power makes no one dare to provoke Dressrosa, and Let it develop rapidly.
And now, because of King Riku's weakness, even if he loves peace, Dressrosa is always a weak country, not only will he be frequently looted by pirates, but the weak King Riku also does not have the ability to strengthen the kingdom, As for making Dressrosa so poor.
Poverty and prosperity are two stark contrasts, which undoubtedly makes Qin Ge more aware of the truth that 'weakness is the original sin'.
dong dong dong! ! !
The knock on the door suddenly sounded, and Qin Ge also withdrew his gaze from the window. After responding, he saw that it was the owner of the weapon shop who came in from the door.
"My lord, I have taken care of your knife, please check it out!" The owner of the weapon shop respectfully held the scarlet blood with the scabbard in his hand, took a few steps forward, bent over and handed it to Qin Ge.
He took the red blood at will, held the handle of the knife with his right hand, and pulled out the blade hidden in the scabbard. I saw the bright and blood-red edge immediately exposed in the air, and even faintly filled the room with a cold aura.
"Yes, your skills are superb, you have taken good care of my scarlet blood, thank you!" Holding the scarlet blood in front of him, he groped for the blade with his left thumb, and Qin Ge showed satisfaction. , and then praised the owner of the weapon shop.
The owner of the weapon shop immediately showed a flattered look, and at the same time bowed in a more respectful manner: "This is what I should do, it is my honor to be able to sharpen the blade for you, the leader!"
This weapon shop is one of the industries developed by the Dark Blade in the new world. The owner is naturally a Dark Blade person. Facing Qin Ge, the top boss of the organization, he will naturally show such a respectful attitude.
Hear the other party's words full of flattery,
Qin Ge smiled faintly, and said in a flat voice: "From what you say now, I feel your awe for me, but I'm also curious, where did you come from to dare to betray me!"
The owner of the weapon shop trembled, his face immediately turned pale, and without turning his head, he just ran frantically towards the door.
Bang~!
An ice bullet flew into the back of the head of the weapon shop owner who had already run to the door, and then pierced and flew out from his forehead. Immediately, it pierced a hole in the wall of the corridor outside the door, and then disappeared.
The sound of the fall sounded immediately, and the owner of the weapon shop did not escape from the room until he died. He rushed to the door with his eyes wide open, blood and brains flowing out of the hole in his head.
Boom boom boom! ! ! !
Almost at the same time, a violent explosion suddenly sounded around the weapon store, and shells bombarded wildly from all directions. The terrifying explosion and the resulting flames engulfed the weapon store at once.
"What's the matter, why did the explosion happen suddenly!"
"No, run away, it's a pirate!"
"Run away, some pirates have entered the country!"
"...!"
The civilians in the nearby streets were all stunned by this sudden scene, and when they saw many pirates rushing out from hidden alleys in all directions, they hurriedly ran away.
"Come on, let Lao Tzu block the surrounding area. If the bloodletting dragon swordsman escapes, Lao Tzu can't spare you!"
But in just a short while, when the bombing was over, more than a few hundred pirates surrounded the weapons store, which was engulfed in flames and engulfed by thick gunpowder smoke, and it was the captain of this group of pirates who shouted. A rough-looking man.
This man has a strong physique, his exposed upper body is full of sturdy muscles, he is more than three meters tall, and he also carries a huge hammer as a weapon.
The weight of the hammer is at least one ton, but the rough man carrying the hammer does not seem to struggle at all. Instead, he seems to be holding a small dagger in his hand, which is very light and casual. This also shows that the strength of this rough man is extremely powerful.
"Boss, there's no need to be so nervous, we have already added a lot of elixir to the food the other party ate just now, and now we are bombarding with more than a dozen heavy artillery, no matter how powerful the blood dragon swordsman is, it must be now. It's been bombed to death!" On the side, a pirate's boss couldn't help but wonder with such a defensive posture.
The rough man slapped the talking pirate fan to the ground with a rude slap, and said coldly, "Bullshit, don't be afraid of 10,000, but if you provide the whereabouts of the blood dragon swordsman, you can get 500 million bellies. The bounty, but I want to get a powerful devil fruit!"
While speaking, the rough man looked at the weapon shop surrounded by them again, his eyes full of blazing greed.
At this time, more than half a month has passed since the battle of 'Salum'. Similarly, under the intelligence agencies of various forces, Jeffrey's death has undoubtedly spread to the entire sea, and Qin Ge has once again entered the world's attention. middle.
Although no one saw Geoffrey killed by Qin Ge with his own eyes at the time, some things did not require evidence, so Qin Ge was undoubtedly recognized by all forces and even the Whitebeard Pirates to kill Jie. Philosopher's murderer.
Of course, this is also true.
When a captain was killed, the Whitebeard Pirates naturally pursued Qin Ge more frantically than before in more than half a month.
Not only a hunting order, but the Whitebeard Pirates issued a huge reward to Qin Ge on the entire sea.
No matter who it is, as long as they can provide information on Qin Ge's whereabouts, they can get the reward of 500 million Berry from the Whitebeard Pirates.
And if Qin Ge was caught or killed, he would be able to get a powerful Devil Fruit at least at the level of an ancient animal species from the Whitebeard Pirates.
Wealth, power, these two things are undoubtedly able to attract countless people to pursue, and greed can even overwhelm inner fear.
Just like the owner of the weapon shop, even though Qin Ge is the controller of the Blade of Darkness, and he is the person of the Blade of Darkness, he still chooses to betray Qin Ge under the temptation of greed.
