One Piece: The Glory of the Murloc

Delos Rosa is a country located near the estuary of the New World. This country is a summer island. It is in midsummer all year round, which makes the flower fields around the island bloom extremely brilliantly.

Although the scenery is very beautiful and the people on the island are full of enthusiasm, the country is not very wealthy.

The main economic pillar is tourism. Due to the small land area, agricultural production can only be barely self-sufficient, and industrial construction also remains at a very basic level.

Coupled with the huge burden brought by heavenly gold, the lives of the people in this country are by no means easy.

It’s hard to say what the specific level is, but it should definitely not be as good as when the Don Quixote family ruled ten years later.

Sitting in the auditorium of the most famous Colosseum in Drosrosa, Bright thought so while watching the fierce battle of the gladiators on the field.

It's strange, why are the rulers in this world who are called benevolent kings and longed for and missed by the local people, so incompetent?

Kobra is like this, Princess Otohime is like this, King Riku of this country is like this, and even Kozuki Oden of Wano is like this.

Advocating peace is one thing, but developing a country is obviously another matter.

I really don’t understand.

The King Riku family has ruled this country for eight hundred years. As a result, there is a high probability that the country will not be as wealthy as when the Don Quixote family exploited the small humans eight hundred years ago. This is outrageous.

"It is said that there is a legendary gladiator in this arena who has been undefeated for three thousand games. When will he appear?"

Tezzolo's expectant voice came from beside him.

Mr. Soldier is indeed very powerful. He defeated the top cadre of the Don Quixote family even after being turned into a toy for ten years without being armed and domineering. At least he is at the level of an elite lieutenant general at the Navy Headquarters.

"Mr. Cyrus is now the captain of the royal guard and will never appear in the arena again!"

Someone on the seat next to him helped Bright answer Tezzolo's question, "Although I miss his heroic appearance in the arena, I should still wish him a bright future, right?"

"That's it."

Tezzolo nodded.

In this case, these battles are really worthless.

Everyone is so weak.

Just in time, a gladiator in the arena slashed away his opponent with a sword. The victor arrogantly raised the blood-stained sword in his hand, and the audience burst into cheers.

The Grand Arena in Drosrosa is famous in the nearby waters, and a large number of tourists come from thousands of miles just for the exciting gladiatorial battles.

"Let's go."

Brett stood up.

"Um."

Tezzolo nodded.

After the two settled the matter with Umit Logistics, they rushed to Deros Rosa without stopping. According to the news from CP, Doflamingo took action in the past two days, carrying the family's elite. The members' ships have already set sail.

But the trouble is that we can't determine their exact location, so we can only come to Drosrosa and wait.

After walking out of the arena, several figures immediately greeted him.

"Master Tezolo, Master Bright, how are you doing? Is the gladiatorial game good?"

The speaker was a tall, plump and beautiful woman with burgundy hair.

"It is nothing special."

Tezzolo said calmly.

"Really, Lord Tezoro, I also want to go to the gladiatorial arena and have a good time!"

The tall man with a rough face complained a little.

"You guys want to be abused." Tanaka, a man with a big head, rolled his eyes.

This time the opponent was not just Doflamingo alone, but if two people came over, they would probably be besieged, so Tezzolo also called his men over.

Tanaka with the piercing fruit, Bacara with the lucky fruit, and Dais the masochist.

It can always be of some help.

Brett also called for help.

At exactly this time, BuluBulu's phone buzzed.

Brett picked up and connected.

"I've already arrived."

Jinbei's calm voice came from the other end of the phone.

"We'll meet you right away."

Brett said.

The edge of the island of De Los Rosa is a circle of huge rocks that surrounds the entire country. These huge rocks with a height and thickness of more than 100 meters are the natural barrier of the country.

But of course, it has never been used. This country has not had a war for eight hundred years.

Under the boulder, Bright and others reunited with Jinbei who had come from the original route.

"I'm sorry to trouble you this time, Brother Jinbei."

Brett apologized.

The distance from Fishman Island to Drosrosa is not too close.

But if the opponent is the Don Quixote family, Bright feels that he has no chance of winning with just himself and Tezolo.

Doflamingo is very powerful. If you really want to compete with him who is going all out, you have to use all your abilities.

That would be troublesome.

So asking Jinbei to come over is the most appropriate choice.

"Hahahaha, what's the trouble?"

Jinbe laughed loudly, "Princess Otohime called back and said that the government is easier to contact than imagined and will provide Fishman Island with a lot of technology."

"That's it."

Brett nodded.

Has Otohime not returned yet?

I remember that in the original work, I only stayed in Mariejoia for a week.

"Doflamingo's move should be close at hand."

Bright said, "Mr. Tanaka, could you please go monitor the King's Heights?"

"Please feel free to leave it to me, Lord Bright."

The big-headed doll Tanaka bent down gracefully.

This Lord Bright is their most important partner and Lord Tezolo's most trusted friend.

He went underground.

This man is a superhuman person with the ability to travel through the fruit, and can freely travel through various inorganic objects.

It's a bit similar to the Mayfly Jutsu of the Hokage next door, White Zetsu.

"Then what we have to do next is wait."

Brett stretched and said, "The hotel near King's Heights has been opened. Anyway, let's go have a good time first."

The scenery here is still very beautiful.

The first night was uneventful.

The next day was normal travel, and nothing happened in the evening.

Then, it was the night of the third day.

The location is in the middle of the land of Drosrosa, on the raised boulder, the royal residence known as the King's Heights, in the royal palace at the top.

Although it was very late, the king of this country, King Riku, was still diligently handling official duties.

The Riku royal family may not all be wise kings, but at least they have been responsible for the people for generations.

But suddenly, King Riku felt the wind, and he was a little surprised. In order to prevent the documents from being messed up by the wind, he always closed the windows.

With surprise, he raised his head, and the next moment, his pupils tightened, "Are you——"

The window opened at some point, and a man sat on the window sill.

"Don't panic, and there's no need to call anyone, my name is Donquixote Doflamingo,"

The visitor lazily leaned against the wall, looking at the bright moon outside the window, without even thinking of looking back at King Riku, "So you should understand, as the orthodox ruler of this country, I came back."

"Don Quixote——"

King Riku stood up staggeringly, "Shichibukai Doflamingo! I was guessing when I heard the name Don Quixote before. Is it true? You are a member of the Don Quixote family!"

This guy is the Shichibukai!

And he also forced the government to admit that he was a member of the Shichibukai by hijacking Tentenjin.

It is definitely not an opponent this country can fight against.

"Hey, it's enough for you to understand my identity and position."

Doflamingo finally turned around, he smiled and said, "How about making a deal, King Riku, I can sell this country to you, just..."

"Ten billion Baileys."

"Ten billion!"

King Riku was shocked by this number.

This country pursues a policy of light corvee and low taxation. The royal family's finances have never been very generous, and the citizens also do not give much.

This number is too exaggerated.

"Whether it's robbery or expropriation, give me 10 billion before dawn and I'll leave. How about treating it as a test of your ability as a king?"

Doflamingo laughed loudly and said, "You are not allowed to reveal my existence to the people, and you are not allowed to ask for help from neighboring countries, otherwise I don't know what I will do."

"Let's start! King Riku!"

"Don't let me down."

Almost at the same time, on the lower floor of King Riku's office, a big-headed doll had picked up the phone bug.

"This is really, finally here. It made me wait for a while."
