There was a sudden commotion from the crowd, and the royal guard led the way in the rear, escorting the crowned King Riku and others.
And King Riku and others havenât arrived yet, and a little pink-haired girl arrived in front of him.
âPlease, are you Mr. Ross?â
âAsked the little pink girl, with big, lovely eyes, addressing Ross with a childish voice. It was Princess Rebecca of Dressrosa, King Rikuâs granddaughter.
Ross looks down at Rebecca, who is only ten years old now, and some of his memories come out and he canât help smiling.
Robin on one side became quite fond of Rebecca, and said: âif there is no other person with the same name here, then it should be our Captain.â
âThank you very much.â
Rebecca bit her lip and bowed towards Ross, thanking him with a childish and pure voice. If it werenât for Ross, she wouldnât know that the one-legged toy soldier protecting her was her father Kyros.
âYou know, a princess shouldnât bow to others.â
Ross faintly smiled, It doesnât matter if youâre a Pirate or a Princess. In his opinion, this kind of girl is a cute creature, different from the ordinary people around her.
It was at this time that King Rikuâs voice came from behind.
âNo, Rebecca should thank you.â
Surrounded by soldiers, King Riku came through the crowd. As the King of the land and an elderly man, his face and manner were calm and unrevealing.
He looked at Ross with the most solemn expression, and said, âAllow me to express to you, on behalf of all the people of Dressrosa, our utmost gratitude.â
Many years ago.
He was framed by Doflamingo, stripped of his status as king, and reduced to a sinner in Dressrosa, all of which seems like hell to him as a king.
But more than half a year ago, Ross came to Dressrosa, breaking the light of the surface and revealing all the darkness to the public and fought and defeated the devil so that the country can enjoy the sunshine again, which is a great grace towards him and the people of Dressrosa.
âYour majesty⊠â
All the people nearby were surprised to see King Riku slowly bowing to Ross. A guard tried to stop him, but his outstretched hand stopped in midair.
However.
King Riku wasnât able to bow before he was stopped.
âPlease, King Riku, weâre pirates.â Robin stops King Riku from saluting and speaks softly to King Riku.
After the Dressrosa incident, it became a place where the Worldâs attention converged. Not only did the Revolutionary Army secretly protect it, but also all the major forces were secretly staring at it. The World Government could not easily impose Buster Call on it to destroy the country.
To do so would be to create a bigger mess than the Dressrosa incident.
But.
If King Riku bowed to a pirate, it would give the World Government a chance to make a great fuss about Dressrosa, even if they couldnât do anything to it.
âNico RobinâŠâ
King Riku was stopped and turned to look at Robin and became a little silent.
Ross slowly opened his mouth and Distorted his voice and said King Riku so only he could hear. âThis is not a place to talk. It just so happens that I want to talk to you. I donât know if your palace is rebuilt.â
With that, Ross took Sugarâs little hand and walked through the crowd on one side with Robin, disappearing in an instant.
âŠâŠ
Kingâs Plateau.
Dressrosaâs palace was finally being built and is still under reconstruction. The temporary palace is on the former Kingâs Plateau, where King Riku and other royal families live.
Robin and Ross, standing in the garden of the Kingâs Plateau, looking out at the view of the garden.
âIf word got out about the bow you took towards a pirate, thereâd be a lot of fuss because you are still part of the World Government.â
âWorld GovernmentâŠâ
King Riku sighed. âAfter all this, how can I trust the World Government again?â
In fact, he wanted to quit the World Government, but the real royal family in charge of Dressrosa was the Donquixote Family eight hundred years ago, and it was only when the Donquixote Family moved to the Holy Land Mariejois that King Rikuâs ancestors took over the throne.
Therefore, Dressrosa is one of the original orthodox countries to join the World Government. Even if he is the king, he has no right to withdraw from the World Government.
Robin sighed.
However, she had a clear understanding of Dressrosaâs history before and after and understood King Rikuâs situation. No matter how dissatisfied he was with the World Government, he could do nothing.
Ross looked at the Sunflower Garden in Kingâs Plateau and said: âIf there is a huge regime that can oppose the World Government, what choice will you make, King Riku.â
âWellâŠâŠâ
King Riku was startled.
As one of the Five Emperors, it is obviously not possible for Ross to say such unreasonable words, but for there to be a regime that can opposite the World Government, which has not been opposed in 800 years!
Even the âFour Emperorsâ wouldnât oppose the regime of the World Government. The only reason that the World Government didnât want to fight them is that it would cause too much impact and loss and they had just let the YonkĆ (Four Emperors) let go, otherwise, not a single one of YonkĆ (Four Emperors) has the power to fight against the government and win.
To establish a regime that is opposed to the government, it is not enough to plant flags on some islands. In addition to having enough power to contend with the government, countries far more than the islands in the New World should choose to join.
Otherwise.
Itâs just a joke.
This is a much more difficult goal to achieve than becoming a pirate king. Even if Ross is already one of the five emperors, it is almost impossible for him to establish a faction that opposes the government even with King Rikuâs help.
âIf there is a new government that is fair and just, I am willing to join.â
King Riku slowly opened his mouth. There was no one here but himself and Ross and Robin, so he didnât mind saying something that would turn the World Government against him.
Rossâs faintly smiled.
This is the beginning and this is the first country that had joined him, although there is still a long journey ahead.
Defeating all YonkĆ (Four Emperors), going to the apex of YonkĆ (Four Emperors), become the Pirate King and even this is not enough, he must have at least three forces powerful enough to rival YonkĆ (Four Emperors) Pirates. Only then would he have the capital to fight against the World Government.
On the site, even if all the sites of the YonkĆ (Four Emperors) Pirates are brought together and the whole New World is included, it will barely meet the âregimeâ standard.
Naturally.
All of these are goals that are too far away right now. The biggest problem heâs facing now is YonkĆ (Four Emperors). How to beat YonkĆ (Four Emperors) and take their place is what Ross is currently considering.
It is extremely ridiculous for the âEmperorâ to be empty and powerful without any territory.
In the eyes of countless forces in the whole sea, including King Riku standing here, they all know very well that the Ghost Hand Pirates will inevitably collide with other YonkĆ (Four Emperors)!
Will it be a reshuffle, or splitting the sphere of influence into five pieces, or will there eventually be someone annihilated, restoring the former YonkĆ (Four Emperors) pattern?
No one knows.
The only thing to know for sure is that the sea will never settle down!
In the coming battle of the five sovereigns, the entire New World will be affected, and the second half of the Grand Line may become a battlefield!
