Pirates: Steel Chain Fingers

The full moon was in the sky, and the night wind was slightly cool.

King's Heights, this is the highest place in the Kingdom of Dressrosa, and it is also where the royal palace is located.

The time was 9:30 in the evening, a black shadow streaked across the night sky, and flew to the top of the palace without anyone noticing.

King Riku felt a chill in his sleep. It's not the kind of physical cold, but the bone-chilling chill emanating from ancient instincts when unarmed human beings encounter a man-eating beast.

He woke up suddenly, and sat up straight from the bed sweating profusely, only to find that a window in the bedroom had been opened at some point. Under the fluttering curtains, a tall man in a pink feather coat was leaning on the wide window sill with his legs crossed.

"Who are you!?" King Liku asked loudly in surprise. You must know that this is the highest point of the palace, and it is also the top of the entire Dressrosa. How did this person come up?

The tall man raised his index finger and shook it lightly, and said in a loud voice, "...don't be so loud...don't call anyone over..."

"My name is... Don Quixote Doflamingo." The man's face turned to King Liku, but his handsome face was distorted by strange sunglasses and a ferocious smile. "I just came back from this country. Legitimacy King."

King Riku's face immediately turned pale, and he murmured, "...I also just recently heard about a pirate named [Don Quixote]. I've been quite worried about this..."

Doflamingo snapped his fingers perfunctorily, "Yes, your uneasiness has come true. I am the [Don Quixote] you thought of."

"I heard that you attacked the [Heavenly Gold] transport ships that were transported to the Tianlong people from various countries!" King Liku said with a heavy face, "And you threatened the world government with this, and this became the 'Seven Martial Seas under the King'."

"The news is quite well-informed?" Doflamingo tilted his head, "咈咈咈咈!! Those guys are quite a headache, and I don't know how to deal with me. For me who is not afraid of the 'Dragon Man' Existence is enough to make them suffer..."

There was undisguised malice in his tone, "Since you know my strength and background so well, it's easy to talk."

Doflamingo sat up all of a sudden, and his maliciousness was beyond words, "I will bid [10 billion Berry] and sell this country to you, King Liku."

"... How can we have so much money!" King Liku was sweating profusely and his face was pale. For the impoverished Dressrosa royal family, this figure was an astronomically huge amount of money that would be difficult to raise without eating or drinking for several years.

"Don't put on that face." Doflamingo said with a sneer, "I might not have given you this opportunity, just grab it."

As he said, he stood up on the spacious window sill, and the pink feather coat on his body fluttered with the wind, "The time limit is before sunrise tomorrow, and you are not allowed to ask for help from other countries! Come and see, what is the ability of the king of your country?" How big is it?"

Sitting on the bed, King Liku could only watch Doflamingo easily jump off the window sill and fly into the night sky, leaving only one sentence floating into the room with the wind

"Remember, don't reveal my existence to the citizens..."

……………………

The time is 10:21 p.m.

King's Heights, King's Council Hall.

Many ministers and kings were urgently summoned to this king's meeting hall. At first they could not believe what the king had said to them, and then they were all filled with righteous indignation.

"Your Majesty! Can't we choose to go to war!?"

"That's right! With the help of the king and neighboring countries, even the Shichibukai under the king will not be able to do it!"

"No!!" King Liku crossed his arms and sternly stopped everyone's proposals. "It sounds like [war], but it's actually [killing]! That's an inhuman act!!"

"The history of no war in Dressrosa for 800 years is the proof that we are not [beasts]!!" King Liku loudly persuaded the ministers and the king, "Don't lose to the wild! Maintain your 'humanity'! Don't kill each other!!"

He looked at the clock above his head, gritted his teeth, and said loudly, "There is no time... immediately rush to various towns and cities in the country, and collect [10 billion Berry] cash in the country! If you can't do this, the country will become 'Nation of Pirates'! Although this will temporarily lose the trust of most of the citizens, it will only be for a few hours! After everything is over, we will compensate everyone with sincerity. Now this is the only way out!! Lies And perfunctory methods will not work!"

"However, there are not so many rich people in our country!" Wang's army commander Taigu Repante asked.

"In short, try to make it together within the time limit. This is related to the life and death of the country!! Everything is for Dressrosa to continue to exist!"

After speaking, the king's soldiers immediately took action. The captain of the Taigu army was about to leave, but was stopped by King Liku.

"Taigu, listen carefully." In the corner where there was no one, King Liku said solemnly, "If the fundraising fails, I will use this to make a deal with Doflamingo!"

He took out a bunch of powerful explosive bombs from his bosom, "Then you go to seek assistance from the surrounding countries, and you must not let this country fall into the hands of Don Quixote again... Please!"

The Taigu Army Commander nodded solemnly, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

………………

The time is 10:58 p.m.

The captain of the Taigu army rushed to the square in Tarosa Town with a few soldiers, and was asking the people to hand over all their property.

"Hey! Taigu army commander, what do you mean by this!"

"To do such a thing... His Majesty the King will not spare you!!"

The people are naturally unwilling, and they don't want to say why, so let us hand over all our property. Robbery is not so ruthless, is it?

"This is the king's order!!" The captain of the Taigu army was distressed, so he could only persuade the people loudly, "There is no time to explain to everyone! Please believe in His Majesty King Liku, and quickly give away all the cash you can take out." Hand it over to us!!"

"Even if you say that..." Those people were trying to reason, when suddenly the huge screen on the square made a rattling sound, and then projected the image of King Liku through the video phone bug.

"The whole country of Dressrosa, please listen to me." On the screens across the country, King Liku said seriously, "I know this request came too suddenly! It can even be said to be an outrageous and unreasonable request! But please Don't ask too much, all citizens please lend me all your property... please lend me all your money!"

Saying that, King Liku on the screen fell to his knees with a thump, and his forehead hit the hard floor hard.

All the citizens stared at the screen dumbfounded. They couldn't understand why His Majesty the King, who has always been generous and benevolent, would issue such incomprehensible orders.

"Your Majesty the King! How can you kneel and kowtow!!" Many ministers beside King Liku hurriedly grabbed his arm and tried to lift him up. You will become the laughing stock of the whole world! Please get up quickly!!"

King Liku broke free from the pulling of the ministers, knelt on the ground and begged loudly towards the video phone bug, "Please everyone!! This is definitely not a joke!! To show sincerity, even if I chop my hands and feet on the spot, it will be fine. !!"

The struggle on the faces of the people gradually disappeared, and some people began to shout, "Everyone, act quickly! Do as the king said, and take out all the property!"

"King Liku loves the people like a son, he will not harm us!"

"This thing happened suddenly, there must be something unspeakable."

"Hurry up! Go get the money!"

Regardless of men, women and children, the whole country began to take action. Paper money, gold coins, and wallets, the people contributed all their property and handed it over to soldiers all over the country one after another.

The captain of the Taigu army looked at the shocking scene before him, and the excitement in his heart could not be restrained. This is the hearts of the people of King Riku... and it is also the people's trust in the Riku family for 800 years! What a beautiful country, she must be able to successfully tide over the difficulties!

"I'm sorry..." the army commander wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said loudly, "We borrowed the money first!"

As he said that, he turned his head and told the soldiers, "Quick! Send all the property of the whole country to the palace! Quick!"

"Wait a minute! Taigu Army Commander!!" A soldier pointed at the screen and shouted, "The King has gone down to Sebio Town, and it's playing on the screen!"

"what!?"

………………

run away...

Dressrosa, the southern town of 'Sepio'.

A galloping galloping horse rushed into the town of Sebio carrying the fully armed King Liku.

run away...

The soldiers and the people had just handed over the money, and they were very excited to see His Majesty the King in person.

"Your Majesty, there is no need for you to come in person, we will... eh?"

Before a male citizen who greeted the king could finish his sentence, King Liku swung his long sword and fell to the ground!

run away...

King Liku drew out the longbow on his back, and shot the fire arrow tied with the explosive bomb directly into the residential area in the distance. Subsequently, the explosive flames soaring into the sky destroyed the residential area of ​​the town and the people in it.

"Run away..." Under the live broadcast of the video phone bug, King Liku continued to slash and kill the people and soldiers with his knives. It's gone...you run away..."

In front of the screens in other regions, both the people and the soldiers were stunned.

The captain of the Taigu Army, who was full of tears, fell to his knees in despair, and murmured, "Your Majesty the King... you are?"

And far away on the top of a certain building in the King's Heights, a tall figure in a pink feather coat was laughing wildly.

"咈咈咈咈...... really a... cruel king......"

Doflamingo raised his right hand, with his thumb, middle finger, and little finger raised slightly, as if pulling a puppet, "Come on, the night has just begun... lovely soldiers, jump up too... "

"Parasitic line!"

Invisible threads fell from the sky like raindrops, and precisely landed on every soldier of the King's Army.

Then, the tragedy began!

Regardless of men, women or children, the soldiers drew their knives and started wantonly killing all the people they could see!

The soldiers were crying, but their bodies couldn't be controlled at all. They became the villains of this tragedy like puppets on strings.

"Your Majesty King Riku! Why did you do such a thing!?"

"Your Majesty will not make such a mistake, there must be something wrong... Ugh!"

"Did we commit any crime?"

Crying, struggling, fleeing uselessly. The unarmed populace were massacred unilaterally by the king and the king!

King Liku, with blood and tears in the corners of his eyes, was unable to roar anymore. He understands that it is useless to say anything now... the country is over.

This is a trap set by Doflamingo!

………………

King's Heights.

Three figures appeared next to Doflamingo, one was covered in mucus, the other was painted with oil paint, and the third was very strong and wearing a cross helmet.

'Club' Trepole, 'Diamond' Diamanti, 'Spades' Pika! The three of them are the top cadres of the Don Quixote family and Doflamingo's most trusted confidantes.

"I said! I said! It should be fine, right? Dover—" "Snotty Man" Trepole said in his characteristic annoying tone.

"Idiot! Don't be so impatient!" Doflamingo squatted on the roof with a ferocious and bloodthirsty smile, showing the madness in his heart. "It's still far away... When this country is surrounded by fear... When this country hates King Riku from the bottom of its heart..."

He licked the corner of his mouth, without concealing the malice from the bottom of his heart, "It's the hero's turn!"

………………

The time is 11:48 p.m.

Dressrosa, the port town of 'Acacia'.

The fierce flames burning in the town reddened the night sky. Cries, explosions, and the terrible sound of swords and swords! The town, like the rest of Dressrosa, was in utter madness.

The unarmed people ran and fled, or knelt down and begged for mercy, but they were still hacked and killed by the tearful soldiers of the king's army wielding their swords.

A weeping little girl stood in the middle of the street looking for her mother, but behind her appeared several soldiers of the king, holding long swords stained with blood in their hands.

"Run away! Little girl!" Their faces were full of tears, but they 'watched' helplessly as they approached the crying girl with a knife.

suddenly! The soldiers' eyes were white, and they fell to the ground foaming at the mouth. Not just a few of them, all the manipulated king soldiers in this port town lost consciousness at the same time and collapsed to the ground.

In the night sky, a black shadow flew towards the high ground of the king at high speed, and the black velvet cloak behind him fluttered in the night wind.

The battle to determine the fate of Dressrosa is about to begin!
