Chapter 134
Edie paused, locking eyes with the other person.
"You told me this important information on purpose, don't say you didn't want to use me for something... Don't treat me like an idiot!"
Edie smiled: "Next year in 1510, the World Conference will be held every four years. You go and become the king, and participate as the king of a member country. At that time, you may have a chance to find some clues about the king."
After that, he left.
When he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something and left another sentence: "By the way, don't do anything to the Kingdom of Alabasta."
This time, he really left, leaving Crocodile alone in the private room.
He fell into deep thought.
It seems that the plan has to change.
In his original plan, he wanted to steal the throne of Alabasta bit by bit through several years, or even ten years, find the ancient weapon Pluto hidden somewhere in this country, and eventually build this country into a military power to compete with the World Government.
But Edie didn't allow him to touch the Kingdom of Alabasta...
Humph! He really didn't dare to move! Earth.

Having obtained Crocodile's soul, Edie's purpose of this trip has been achieved.
The next step is to obtain the soul of another natural ability user and conduct a dual natural ability cloning experiment.
"Let's go back to the hive first."
Edie picked up Robin and flew into the air.
Hive... Robin's eyes were full of expectations. That would be her future home. Is her 9-year escape career finally over?
"Yes!"
She nodded excitedly and wrapped her arms around Edie's neck.
At the same time, on the other side.
While it was still daytime in Alabasta, it was night in the Kingdom of Dressrosa on the other side of the Pirate Planet.
Crocodile was dreaming of stealing the country, but Doflamingo had already taken action.
The King's bedroom in the Kingdom of Dressrosa.
King Riku, who was sleeping soundly, seemed to feel the cold wind. He woke up from his sleep and suddenly sneezed.
A-choo... Who opened the window?
King Riku got up from the comfortable warm bed in his pajamas. He wanted to close the window, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart that the maid would forget such a thing.
The wind was very strong at night, and the curtains were blown by the wind.
"Fufufufu... It's better to wear more clothes, or you will catch a cold."
Suddenly, a man's voice sounded in the room.
King Riku's face changed slightly, and he stared at the window in astonishment.
The swaying curtains gradually lowered their height, revealing a figure that was previously blocked.
With the bright moonlight outside the window, King Riku saw the other person's appearance clearly.
The man sitting on the windowsill, with his legs crossed, was wearing a pink feather coat.
"You are... the person on yesterday's news!"
King Riku said in surprise: "The new King Shichibukai, Donquixote Doflamingo!"
"Do you know me? It's an honor." Doflamingo smiled.
"The Seven Warlords of the Sea come to visit late at night... What is your purpose?"
"Eighty-seven-three" King Riku had a bad feeling.
The Seven Warlords of the Sea sounded like a direct agency under the World Government, and they were the government's lackeys.
But these people were vicious pirates, and they also had the legal qualifications to plunder. No one knew what they would do.
"Fufufu, I want this country, King Riku, can you please return the position of king to me?"
"What are you talking about..." King Riku's heart sank.
"Didn't you understand? I said 'return' to me, return it to our Don Quixote family."
Doflamingo jumped lightly and jumped down from the windowsill.
He walked with a gangster-like outward-facing footsteps, with a sly smile on his face.
"It seems that you, the Riku clan, have forgotten. Let me help you remember."
"800 years ago, the 20 kings who created the World Government took over the entire world and settled in the holy land of Marijoa as Celestial Dragons."
"Then the question is, what countries did they live in before becoming Celestial Dragons?"
At this point, Doflamingo's smile gradually widened, and the corners of his mouth stretched to his ears.
"One of the families is called the Don Quixote family."
"This family left the Kingdom of Dressrosa and became Celestial Dragons!"
"And the one who continued to manage this country on their behalf...is the ancestor of your Riku clan!"
Hearing this, King Riku suddenly felt distracted.
It was not because of the change of royal power that the other party said, but...
"Are you a Celestial Dragon?!" King Riku said in a lost voice.
"Fufufufu, that's right. So, do you understand? If you understand, then give my country back to me."
Doflamingo stopped one meter in front of King Riku. He reached out and patted his shoulder, and whispered: "If possible, I don't want to kill too many people. After all, that adult doesn't like to see too much blood..."
If he changed his original plan, he would directly control King Riku and massacre civilians.
In order to achieve the purpose of lowering the other party's reputation and evaluation.
Finally, he stood up to solve everything, appeared as a hero, and could easily seize the throne.
But.
The doctor doesn't like meaningless killing.
Then he can only take gentler means.
"What a joke... You want to turn this country into a pirate country?!" King Riku was shocked and angry.
"What nonsense are you talking about? With the protection of the Seven Warlords, this country will be more stable and prosperous in the future. I am much more capable than you."
Doflamingo narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous light.
Only the sunglasses blocked his eyes.
King Riku clenched his fists.
"Or are you greedy for the power of the king?" Doflamingo smiled disdainfully and said, "Let me ask you, what is the essence of power?"
"It's trust!" King Riku said in a deep voice: "The people trust me, then I am the king!"
"Naive idea. You are a child at such an old age?"
Doflamingo was amused and laughed softly: "The essence of power is an external manifestation of violence, and the boundaries of power are the result of the balance of violent groups!"
As a king, he doesn't even understand the basic logic of the operation of this world. No wonder he is so incompetent...
Sure enough, this country should still be ruled by me!
King Riku was suppressed by his momentum and subconsciously took a half step back.
He gritted his teeth, knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed to beg:
"Doflamingo! I am the king of this country, I can't watch this country become a pirate country!"
"Please! Change other conditions, money? Gold and silver treasures? I will give you everything else, except this country!"
What a stubborn old man.
Doflamingo frowned. He was already very gentle. It seems that he should use the original plan...
The doctor only said to kill fewer people, not to completely stop killing.
And at this moment, footsteps were heard.
"Father, what happened? It's a bit noisy in your room."
A young woman's voice came from outside the door. The voice sounded a little confused, as if she had just woken up from a dream.
Violet...
Backup IIqun Bar Jiu (Three) Research (Six) Feed (Four) Liuling
King Riku trembled all over and shouted hurriedly: "Don't come in, Violet!"
"Fufufu, your daughter?"
Grinning, Doflamingo's five fingers on his right hand moved slightly.
Invisible silk threads immediately flew out from his fingertips, and the silk threads opened the door.
Violet saw the scene in the room.
Her father, the king of this country, was kneeling in front of a man.
"Father...!" She covered her mouth in surprise.
The next moment, the invisible silk thread immediately wrapped around her arms. Violet's eyes widened, and she watched her hands rise up and strangle her neck.
"Violet!" King Riku glared, "Stop! Doflamingo!"
"Fufufufu, it's not like I didn't get any information before I came."
Doflamingo manipulated the invisible silk thread.
Even if he had ten times the courage, he would not dare to kill Violet. He just frightened King Riku a little.
"You are Princess Violet, you are 16 years old this year. Can you dance? No, you must be able to dance!"
Violet pinched her neck and was so scared that she couldn't speak.
What happened tonight? Is this a nightmare?
King Riku begged: "Let my daughter go. If you want to kill, kill me!"
"Don't make me sound like a murderer. But you should have another daughter... Her name is Scarlett?"
Doflamingo asked: "Which one can dance?"
Hearing her sister's name, Violet's pupils shrank slightly.
She resisted the manipulation of the silk thread and said hurriedly: "I can dance! My sister can't at all!"
"Fufufufufu... That's you."
As long as you can dance, it's fine.
The doctor's requirement is to be able to dance. King Riku's daughter, this princess fully meets the requirements.
He hooked his finger slightly, and the quilt beside him immediately flew up and flew to Violet's side, rolling her up like a dumpling, leaving only her head exposed.
This was the person the doctor had specifically asked for, and he dared not touch her casually.
"What on earth do you want to do!" King Riku stood up angrily.
Doflamingo controlled Violet with a string and returned to the window sill in an instant.
He said to King Riku:
"Let's make a bet, King Riku, to prove that I am more capable than you."
"One year! Within one year, I will build a factory in this country and bring huge income to everyone."
"I will hire many people, they will work for me, and I will pay them wages."
"Once this amount reaches 10 billion Baileys, you will abdicate obediently and return this country to the Don Quixote family."
"If I don't do it, Fufufufu... I will leave obediently."
Ten billion national income? !
