Chapter 215: The Stage Is in Place (Part 2)
The masked geek stepped forward and bowed slightly to King Liku.
"Time is running out, so I'll just say it straight, is the 'stage' entrusted to you before ready?"
Seeing the perfunctory attitude of the masked man, Taigu Repante, the commander of the Liku King Army, couldn't help it, and said in a deep voice:
"People who are rude, even if they are members of the world government, they should salute when they see the king of the alliance country!"
"It's just bad habits, boring etiquette is just a waste of time."
The masked monster's tone was calm, and the eyes behind the mask looked straight at King Liku, "King of Dressrosa, if you don't want your land to become a battlefield, you'd better act as soon as possible."
"call……"
Hearing this, King Liku took a deep breath, then waved his hand.
A group of ordinary ministers retreated one after another upon seeing this, and not long after, there were only a few people left in the entire palace.
They are either important ministers of Dressrosa, or members of King Liku's family.
And at the small window on the second floor of the palace, a little girl was secretly observing what happened in the palace.
Her name is Violet, she is the princess of the Kingdom of Dressrosa and the second daughter of Riku Dold III.
And at the same time, she is also a superman-type devil fruit-a person with the ability to stare at the fruit, a person with eyesight, and the ability to see through all lies.
When Violet heard that her father was going to receive an uninvited guest in the palace today, she had been very worried about the situation here.
She was still young and wanted to contribute to Dressrosa, so she planned to use her fruit ability to observe the guest to see if he really had bad intentions.
Ever since, she secretly hid behind the small window on the second floor of the palace without telling the maid.
When King Liku sent the ministers away, Violet finally found a chance.
She touched the fingertips of the index fingers and thumbs of both hands, forming a circle-like posture similar to the "OK gesture", and turned the arms of both hands upside down, placing them in front of her eyes.
Afterwards, Violet turned her gaze to the weird masked figure.
The ability to stare at the fruit - "Mind Observation Technique" is activated.
As long as the target is within the ability user's field of vision, the seen target will be "naked", and the inner information will be read instantly. Regardless of whether the opponent is conscious or not, or whether they are lying or not, the ability user can read what is in his "current" mind, but the disadvantage is that he cannot read his memory.
Violet originally wanted to use this ability to observe the weird masked man, and then provide a reference for her father's judgment.
However, the moment Violet's gaze touched the masked geek, the masked geek suddenly raised his head, and the eyes behind the mask met Violet's.
At that moment, Violet suddenly felt as if she saw the sea in the dark night, her eyes were stabbed sharply, and her vision immediately became dizzy.
"Well!"
Violet couldn't bear it any longer, and collapsed to the ground with a plop.
This sound naturally attracted the attention of King Liku and others, and King Liku, who knew his daughter quite well, also reacted instantly. He speculated that it was probably his youngest daughter Violet who was secretly using his demon Fruit ability is watching here.
For ordinary people, Violet's observation is no different from the sight of others, and they cannot be felt at all, but how could the weird masked man at this time be an ordinary person?
The world government is directly under the top secret intelligence agency - CP0, and the members there are all the world's top experts who are known as "the strongest shield of the Tianlong people"!
Such a person would naturally be able to perceive Violet's gaze through his knowledge and arrogance.
"King Liku, are there any spies in your palace?"
The masked man made a suspicious voice, moved his body slightly, and could vaguely hear the sound of a sharp knife unsheathing, "Do you want me to kill him?"
"Don't ask questions knowingly, CP0's, she's just a little girl, I don't believe you can't see it."
With a sullen face, King Liku turned his head and told the army commander beside him, "Repante, please take care of Violet and take her back to her room to rest."
"Yes." Army Commander Taigu Repante nodded slightly, and then looked at the weird masked man with fear.
The captain of Princess Violet's ability is very clear. It can cause her ability to get out of control and back to the body, which shows that the masked monster in front of her should belong to the top level, whether it is domineering or armed domineering!
There is not even one master of this level in the entire Kingdom of Dressrosa!
"Don't worry, after all, King Liku is the king of a country that joins the World Government, and I haven't the guts to attack a king." The masked geek's tone remained calm, "Now, let's talk about the previous thing—the stage."
King Liku picked up a document, and then sighed heavily, "You want to use Dressrosa as a battlefield? Even if this is the order of the world government, I don't think my country and people will be allowed to fall into the trap. war!"
The Kingdom of Dressrosa has been a peace-loving country since ancient times, and the then king, Liku Dolde III, has rescued the surrounding countries in deep war many times.
The world government wants to choose Dressrosa as the battlefield to encircle and suppress Lynn Barek, King Liku will never allow it.
"I think you have misunderstood, King Liku." The masked man said slowly: "This is not a 'discussion', but a 'information'. All you can decide is the position of the battlefield."
The masked monster looked around and continued: "My suggestion is, if you don't want your palace to become a ruin, the best way is to choose a location far away from the palace. I passed by a place when I came here. Hanada, it seems pretty good there."
King Liku's gaze was slightly cold, "The world government has no right to directly order me and my country."
"But the World Government has the right to take back what is theirs."
The masked man changed the subject and added: "Liku Dolde III, you have not forgotten how the Liku group became the royal family of Dressrosa eight hundred years ago, right?"
Hearing this, King Liku's expression suddenly changed.
What the masked man was talking about was, of course, eight hundred years ago, when the Don Quixote family left Dressrosa, the Riku family succeeded the Don Quixote family to rule Dressrosa.
According to the rules, the Riku family had temporarily replaced the Don Quixote family as the royal family.
If the descendants of the Don Quixote family want to return to the throne, then the world government will no longer recognize the legitimacy of the Riku family.
And that's exactly what's going to happen in the future:
After obtaining the official status of Shichibukai, Doflamingo led the Don Quixote family to Dressrosa.
Doflamingo, as the orthodox royal family of Dressrosa, threatened King Liku to hand over the country, or buy the country with property.
King Liku, who loves this country deeply, naturally chose the latter, and was forced to ask the people for money to save the country.
However, Doflamingo used his string fruit ability to control King Liku's actions and let him massacre the people, which made him lose the people's trust overnight and was usurped from the throne.
The above is the overview of the future Dressrosa Rebellion.
As for the love between Cyrus, the strongest sword fighter, and Princess Scarlet, it is another poignant story.
At this time, they were living happily in the field full of sunflowers as civilians.
Back to the present time.
Under King Liku's gloomy gaze, the masked geek took out a pink phone bug with sunglasses from his arms.
"King Liku, do you want the real 'king' of Dressrosa to return? Or make a deal, provide a stage, and then exchange for a country."
Hearing this, King Liku immediately lowered his head and couldn't help taking a few deep breaths, "Don't burn the flames of war on the civilians, and use this 'King's Highland' as a battlefield."
Only then did the masked man take back the phone bug, "Oh, in order not to affect the common people, do you actually have to sacrifice your own palace? What a bold king."
...
Four days later.
A large ship slowly approached the port of Dressrosa.
Looking at the country full of flowers and colors under the bright sun, the people on the deck could not help but take a deep breath.
The sea breeze has been blowing for a long time, and it is quite pleasant to breathe the air on land.
Lynn looked at the people on the side and asked:
"What did you see?"
People with enough knowledge and knowledge, or masters at the combat level, can sense the danger ahead.
"Black clouds." Tiger replied, "On the eve of the approaching rainstorm."
Eden described: "There's a volcano that's about to erupt."
Crocodile sneered, and lit a cigar for himself, "Hehehehehe, I only saw a demon, and it seems to be eating us, it's so scary."
"What about you?" Crocodile turned to Lynn and asked.
Lynn thought for a while and said, "It's dark?"
On the side, the prisoners asked Bucky curiously, "Captain Bucky, what did you see!"
Bucky: "..."
After thinking for a moment, Bucky said in a deep voice, "I didn't see anything."
"hiss!"
Hearing this, the prisoners were suddenly shocked and couldn't help but gasp.
The so-called layman: Seeing mountains is mountains, seeing water is water.
The so-called strong man: Seeing mountains is not mountains, seeing water is not water.
The so-called master: Seeing mountains is still mountains, seeing water is still water.
As expected of Captain Bucky, he has no other distractions, and his practice has reached perfection!
