Chapter 463: Suffer the Nobles, and I Will Bear the Infamy! (6k)
In Storm City, the sky is still covered with dark clouds.
"Sarge, what on earth are you going to do?"
Sager, who was sitting on a tree, held the microphone, looked at the phone bug making a sound in Kalifa's hand, and said with a smile:
"What do I want to do? Why don't I ask you what you want to do? You know who Doflamingo is and what deal he has with me, right? I am a pirate. If Doflamingo loses, he will lose. , you are more involved with him, just watching?"
There was silence on the other side of the phone number, and he said: "The newspaper has been sent out, it cannot be changed, and we have to explain it to the whole world. But you, Sage, don't be too arrogant, you are just a pirate."
"Pirates can do whatever the hell they want! Stop talking nonsense, you five old men don't dare to fight with me!"
Snap!
Sage casually threw the phone at the phone bug. After hanging up the phone, he laughed and said, "Failed? It's really hopeless! It's the same as before. Forget it, let Lily do her best."
"On the way to the Warring States Period, the new general Fujitora is also there. Isn't it a bit unsafe for Lily to be alone?" Kalifa asked.
Sage sneered, stood up from the tree, grabbed the uprooted tree, and inserted it back into its original position.
"What is the World Government? Just like us pirates, they are profit-seeking bastards who collect protection fees. What is the Navy? The external organization of the World Government. You can think of him as Sev or Misty."
"If the upper part is weak, the lower part will not be too hard. Do you think it is congested? A group of guys who are born with weak nature cannot make any waves."
He clapped his hands, turned and walked towards the outside world, "Just leave it to Lily, she will give me a satisfactory answer, let's go fishing!"
…
Dressrosa.
Lily caught Doflamingo's eye, and Yixiao followed closely, stalemate with her.
But the atmosphere was much more harmonious than before, because pirates and navy kept coming, gathering around them, supplying and setting up camp, while watching with eager eyes.
"Don't worry about me, maintaining public order is important."
Yixiao said: "Here, I am enough alone."
"You still need an old man like you to give orders? This is our territory now!"
Palu, who was covered with bandages and had a stupid face, shouted: "Ms. Lily gave the order a long time ago!"
"Pirates are pirates, and the navy is the navy. It's not just because you did it, our navy won't do it. That's not benevolent. Also, don't talk to me like that. I'm still hostile to you."
Yixiao sat on a pony and waved his hand behind him, "Go ahead."
"Yes, General Yixiao." A group of marines got the order and left again.
"Lady Lily."
Several accompanying female pirate nurses approached Lily and asked worriedly: "Do you need treatment?"
"Trouble."
Lily nodded, glanced at Doflamingo who fainted, then turned and walked into the tent that had been set up. Several female pirates came to treat her wounds and tie bandages.
In terms of injuries, her injuries were not serious, and the heavy pressure crushed every part of her body.
As expected, no admiral is easy to get along with.
On the other hand, Yixiao simply stayed on Mazha and let others deal with the injury.
After the injuries were treated, the two sides were still facing each other, as if they pretended that the other side did not exist.
On the contrary, in Dressrosa, the navy and pirates started joint law enforcement under the eyes of everyone in absolute disbelief.
Dressrosa is not really prosperous except for the darkness above.
The darkness and oppression still exist below. A place governed by chaotic pirates is still a place that maintains the blood of the Celestial Dragons. How good can it be down there?
Love your people like your own children?
During the reign of King Riku, the bullfighting arena still had slaves and criminal sword fighters. During Doflamingo's time, it only got worse, turning some people into prisons that they could never get out of.
There are still gangsters outside. After the initial panic at the Birdcage Line, these people also regained their composure, and then thought about whether to take advantage of the chaos to rob the dilapidated Dressrosa, and then were captured by the navy and seamen. The thief was discovered.
The Navy doesn't kill people, it just arrests them.
As for pirates, it's more straightforward. In such a turbulent place, killing is the best way to calm down.
According to their past experience after invading the territory, it is definitely right to kill people first.
Although this made the navy almost become hostile to them, considering that it was the Yonko, they could not receive the order to attack, so they silently endured it.
After all, there is only one general, and not everyone has Fujitora's power, strength and courage.
The actions of the outside world also reached Yixiao's ears. He frowned and looked at Lily, who had long come out of the tent and was standing opposite, and said:
"Miss, is this killing style the habit of your natural disaster pirate group?"
"The most effective and fastest." Lily replied.
"People who do small evils will be punished for small evils, but their crimes will not lead to death." Yixiao said.
"I'm a pirate, I don't care about that much."
Lily squinted her eyes and looked at Yixiao who had moved his hand to the hilt of the staff sword, and held the hilt of the sword at his waist with his right hand.
At this moment, Doflamingo, who was lying on the ground, moved his fingers, then stretched out his hand to cover the sunglasses that had lost a corner of the lens, and grinned:
"Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Lily, kill him!"
Lily glanced at Doflamingo and said, "You lost."
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, no one could have thought of this, but there is still a chance, right? I can still control this country."
Doflamingo grinned and said, "Sag needs me."
"No, everything here is decided by me."
Lily waved her hand, and Jin handed her the smuggling list he found.
Jin started looking for this thing at the beginning of the riot when the toys turned into people, faster than the revolutionary army that sneaked into the smuggling factory.
"Sag's cooperation with you is limited to trading, and other things are not guaranteed. Since you lost, we will take over this place. Doflamingo, your choice is to join us or become a pirate yourself."
"How ruthless, but I also thought of it."
Doflamingo laughed softly, "But you also know my identity. Without me, some things are difficult to do."
"If I give up sovereignty just for convenience, I would rather not have this convenience. We will get what we want ourselves."
Lily said coldly: "The winner has everything. This is what Sag and you often say, but You lost and are no longer qualified. However."
Her sword at her waist was half drawn out, "According to the agreement, we will ensure that you do not enter the Impel Down City!"
"Hehehe. Without a country, it doesn't matter whether you enter or not. I would rather see what the world will be like without me!"
Doflamingo grinned even more, "Since there is this agreement, let's change the conditions. It's a waste for you to go to war with the navy here. Let's make Sage agree to one condition for me. When I want to come out, he must rescue me!"
Lily was silent for a while, drew out half of the sword, and put it back into the sheath.
"Okay, I agree to you on behalf of Sage."
Because Doflamingo may go to war with the navy on all fronts, which will disrupt Sage's plan.
Yixiao also silently retracted his cane sword, not knowing whether he was sighing or deep, "This situation may be good for both sides."
...
After another half a day, a warship arrived at the port of Dressrosa and transferred Doflamingo in.
Sengoku, who was already full of white hair but looked much brighter, walked up to Yixiao who was eating soba noodles at the port with a bag of senbei, and said with a smile:
"Yixiao, I heard that you had a conflict with Tianzai? You were stopped by the higher-ups, right? Hahahaha, there was definitely no fight!"
"This is not a funny thing!"
Yixiao put down the teacup of soba noodles heavily, "Although, I also know that the Four Emperors are a great disaster in the world, and that Tianzai is a madman with great destructive power, but I dare not even confront him, and I explicitly forbid him to take action. It's too unambitious!"
He looked into the distance, "It is obviously a member of the World Government, but the navy is secluded in the port, and pirates are in the house. Isn't it very strange?"
Of course he knew the power of the Four Emperors, and they were not rookies.
Those who can become the Four Emperors are all top guys, especially the youngest of the Four Emperors, who has defeated the other three and is recognized by the sea.
But whether to fight or not, or to prohibit the war, is another matter.
When Zhan Guo heard this, his smiling face gradually became solemn.
He put down the bag of senbei, sat opposite Yixiao, and exhaled heavily, "The World Conference is in the near future. Even if there is a war, it will not be fought now. The higher-ups will not take risks at this juncture."
As a former admiral of the navy, he knows a lot of things, and at the same time, he also understands what kind of thoughts those guys have.
"But you, Yixiao, maybe this is an opportunity. Didn't you join the navy with this long-cherished wish?" Zhan Guo said.
"Indeed."
Yixiao nodded, "Perhaps, this is also an opportunity. The theft of the country has not happened once or twice. The grief that these "legal pirates" have caused people should not have happened. Since SSG has done it, then taking this opportunity, perhaps I can fulfill my long-cherished wish"
"Abolish the post of Shichibukai!"
As he said, he picked up his cane, tapped the ground, and walked in one direction.
"What are you going to do?" Zhan Guo asked.
"There is something that I cannot agree with, so I want to hear it with my own ears. Why?"
Da, da, da
The cane tapped the ground, and with a smile on his face, he gradually disappeared in front of Zhan Guo.
"Hey"
Zhan Guo looked at the dome palace high up, then shifted his gaze to the sky, "The balance will be broken one day if it keeps going this way."
In the fence prison inside the warship, He sat upright on the chair, looking at Doflamingo who was imprisoned in the prison with his body and limbs tied up by seastone chains, frowning and saying:
"I heard that you gave up your agreement with the natural disaster in exchange for a promise. What are you thinking, Doflamingo?"
"Hehehehehe, I should ask you this. If Fujitora helped me get rid of those little ghosts instead of fighting with Lily, the situation would not be like this. This country does not belong to me, and the reins that control the monsters have been broken!"
"You shouldn't let me fail," Doflamingo laughed in a low voice.
"Don't talk about it afterwards. The newspaper has already published it. What if? This kind of fantastic world does not exist. Only the present is reality. You have already lost." He said calmly.
"Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, there is really nothing I can do with you!" Doflamingo laughed out loud.
He paused and said: "Snakes have their own ways, rats have their own ways. From your perspective, what will happen to pirates in the future?"
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, what will the monsters do when they lose their food?"
Doflamingo chuckled evilly: "Kaido will not be willing to accept the deal being broken, and Sag will not be content with the status quo!"
"Besides, who are the guys at the top of the sea? The smartest Shichibukai? The brats of the extremely evil generation? The pirate emperor of the sea? Or your navy, the overlord of the sea?"
"If you lose food, you lose your balance. Those who go out to forage will definitely bump into each other. No one knows who will have the last laugh, the hunter or the prey."
"Especially that monster"
Idiots can't see the true nature of Sarge!
Doflamingo knows that that guy is the real monster who wants to devour everything!
Especially after losing the cage called 'deal', he has already taken out his claws and opened his mouth!
Click!
The chain was suddenly shaken open, and Doflamingo said excitedly: "This era of extreme chaos is coming soon! This is why I entered Impel Down!"
"You will regret it, those guys in the sky will regret it! They will be pulled down soon! Hahahahahaha!!"
…
In the countryside outside the town, on a hillside.
A group of pirates acted as a wall, blocking the bound four members of King Liku's family from the people coming from a distance behind, preventing them from getting closer.
Next to King Liku, Lily stood there, looking at the fields in front of her, without saying a word.
Although the advancement of the birdcage line did not destroy the buildings here, it also separated a large amount of farmland.
King Liku looked back at the crowds of people in the distance, sighed, and said to Lily: "Anyway, thank you for agreeing to our request and letting our benefactor go."
When Luffy was unconscious, he had been transferred away by his companions.
"Just ignoring it."
Lily said calmly, "He defeated Doflamingo because of his ability."
"Are we still going to die? I don't understand."
Perhaps he was about to die, but King Liku was still a little unwilling. "If it is because the people want to elect me as king, then it will be enough for me to die. Rebecca, Viola, and Cyrus are innocent." ”
Just as Lily was about to speak out, she suddenly paused and looked into the distance. She smiled and touched the ground with her cane, walking slowly towards her.
"stop!"
Bellamy clenched his fists, "Your navy should evacuate now, this is not the place for you to come!"
"I just want to clear up my doubts. If you don't make me feel pure, it won't be that easy for you to kill someone." Yixiao said slowly.
"Bellamy, let him in."
Lily waved her hand, signaling for her men to make way for Yixiao to approach.
"King Liku, I know you are a good king. If you torture and kill, I will punish you and take you away."
After Yixiao said something, he turned to Lily and said, "I also want to hear your reasons!
Lily glanced at him, then turned to look at the field. The breeze rose in the field, blowing her wavy blond hair, and the profile of her face made King Riku startled.
If you calm down, there is no difference between this person and the famous lady in your impression.
"Although I have no intention of explaining it to you, I must admit, Liku Dold III, you are a good king. So far, among the kings and nobles I have met, you and Cobb of Alabasta are the only ones. La, he is a good king."
Lily's voice sounded slowly.
"In that case."
As soon as King Riku opened his mouth, he heard Lily continue:
"When we just captured O'Hara, no, Gareth... I also had good intentions. Just like Sag said, those guys who voluntarily give up their positions of power can spare their lives."
"But I soon discovered that I was wrong. Even if there are guys who are as compassionate as you, the people below them will not think so. I have seen a boy who is only fourteen years old. He is as innocent as your granddaughter. Romance does nothing.”
"But just because he has blood and claims, those who resist us pick him up and use him as a sign to fight against us. Even if we kill those resisters and eliminate the resistance, there are still some who are unwilling to accept it. Guys, take that boy underground."
"They no longer fight against us, but they use this claim to secretly oppress others. In the end, due to subtle influences, even that innocent and romantic young man felt that he was born to have the right to rule."
"Too many, too many such people."
Lily clenched her fists, "There are so many that I have to kill them all before they stop!"
"Do you think those people who are holding you hostage are evil people? No, they are also people who don't understand anything, but as long as there is one of them, this evil fire will definitely rekindle!"
"Because of claims, because of bloodline. We have to admit that we can't change people's inherent impressions, at least until these people with bloodline disappear, we have no way. It's just that we are just pirates, pirates that are not recognized by anyone."
"If you want to rule, if you want Sage's orders to spread throughout the place he rules without any hindrance, the only option is to kill!"
"If that's the case, I'm willing to die, but Cyrus and the others are innocent, you can let them leave the country and never come back!" King Liku shouted.
"We are not guaranteed to win all the time."
Lily said: "Doflamingo has ruled for so many years, hiding oppression and darkness in the deepest underground, even if it erased people's memories. But once defeated, people will be reminded of the previous claims, because the people are stupid."
"Stupid enough that even if someone says, look, he is oppressing you, giving you only 10% of what you should have, but in the end, you will still say that it's nothing, he is living a good life."
"Yes, I didn't say he was living a bad life, but there is a comparison between good and bad."
Lily pointed to the farmland in front, "Do you know why I brought you here? Dressrosa is not as large as our base Storm City in terms of area, not to mention the main island and sub-island of O'Hara."
"You, and Doflamingo, have only developed less than half of this area in so many years."
The town of Dressrosa is bounded by the huge stone arch bridge in the center. Less than half of the area is the town, and there is a little bit of small villages and farmland on the periphery. As for the other half of the area, it is wilderness.
"Of course, I don't mean to say this. I mean do you know what kind of life these farmers live?"
King Liku was startled when he heard this. He was a kind and good king who avoided war, strived for peace, made friends with neighboring countries, and considered the citizens, but he really didn't know marginal figures.
People's activities and knowledge are limited. Some people may never go out of the three or four streets around them in their entire lives. All the information is heard from others.
Even the so-called tourism is just from this prosperous three or four streets to another prosperous three or four streets, and it is impossible to see the whole picture.
The king is no exception. He is active in the palace, the arena and the surrounding buildings. It is not that he ignores the farmers, but he has no concept of this.
"When we first came to Dressrosa to build a ship, I investigated. The people here have not changed at all during your reign and Doflamingo's reign. Neither you nor he cares about this kind of people. People like them are not affected by the usurpation of the throne."
"This family, three people."
Lily's finger shifted to a house that had been cut into several sections, but before that, it seemed to have been abandoned.
In front of the house, there is a large piece of farmland.
"They grow corn, which ripens every three months and can harvest about one ton. They use the best local seeds. They get up at dawn every day and go home after dark. Their palms are all cracked, and their skin is darker than Ajin. They are thin and dark, not born, but sunburned."
"Do you know what will happen after they harvest?"
Lily looked at King Riku, and said in his dazed expression: "Paying taxes is something that no one can avoid."
"Doflamingo didn't change your tax rate, so you are a good king, but even if the tax rate is low, , no matter how high the price of grain is, the nobles and merchants with noble status, led by you, will also push the price to the lowest and buy it from them. "
"After working hard for three months, selling the grain and buying seeds, I finally saw that I had 50,000 Baileys in my hands. Three months, 50,000 Baileys."
Lily said with a tone that was not sure whether it was self-deprecating or sympathetic:
"What can you do with this little money? Buy a broken knife? See a doctor? Or buy something you want?"
"When I looked at them at that time, I didn't think they were unfortunate. After all, they were able to eat and wear warm clothes. , lived like a normal person until we captured Gareth, and saw changes under the rule of Sage. "
"Farming will also have a good harvest, cleaning the streets will also be respected, no matter what kind of seemingly unprofitable profession, they will still be paid a salary equal to their contribution. They can not only eat and dress warmly, but also afford to see a dozen serious illnesses, and buy anything they need."
"At that time, I realized that there really is a paradise in this world."
"I came here this time and found that they were gone. Is it simply because of Doflamingo's dark oppression that they disappeared, or before that, because of an accident, they died helplessly? No one knows. "
Lily held the hilt of the sword at her waist and said to King Riku: "I don't like killing people. If possible, I don't want to kill anyone. I prefer to practice swordsmanship silently, draw sea charts, and use my knowledge of navigation to help Sage travel to every undiscovered place in the sea. "
"You are also a good king, conscientious, concerned about the people, and want peace, but"
Zeng!
Lily pulled out the white thunder and pointed at King Liku and his family. Although her voice was faint, it exploded in their ears and Yixiao's ears like thunder.
"You are blocking the way!!"
...
The wind was not affected by the times or good and evil, and it was still blowing, floating Lily's hair, who was now standing alone on the hillside, staring at the field in front.
Next to her, Yixiao was like a sculpture, stiffly standing there, with his eyes closed, and no one knew what he was thinking. After a long time, he slowly spoke:
"O'Hara, is the rule of natural disasters really as you said?"
"You will know if you go and see it." Lily said lightly.
Yixiao forced a stiff smile: "If you keep killing like this, it will not be good for your reputation."
"I don't care about those things."
Lily stretched out her hand, as if to catch the wind, and said: "Besides, the reputation of pirates is not very good. As for the reputation, let the nobles suffer, and I will bear the infamy!"
He smiled and was silent for a while, tapped the ground with his cane, turned around and left.
"I will go."
He opened his eyes and sighed, "If these eyes were not blind at that time, maybe I could see a different scene. What a pity."
