"Fleet Admiral Sengoku…"
The first half of the Grand Line.
Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
Brannew, sweating profusely, hurried over and reported loudly to Sengoku: "Obask Luke brought rain Shiryu to attack Punk Hazard and took away the entire island!"
"What!?"
Sengoku, who was discussing the Buster Call with Vice-Admiral Tsuru, immediately stood up.
He clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth: "That bastard, is he not willing to be content at all?"
"This time, is he targeting Punk Hazard?"
Even Vice-Admiral Tsuru's expression changed.
Although Vegapunk, the chief genius scientist, and a large number of scientists were kidnapped, it is still a crucial research base for the World Government.
It has extremely high value.
"Is it because of the expensive equipment in the experimental base?"
Sengoku frowned and said: "After all, those experimental facilities cost the World Government a huge amount of money and resources, and they can't be built casually!"
"Punk Hazard…"
Tsuru frowned, seemingly thinking about something.
"Their specific purpose is not yet clear…"
Brannew continued to report: "But through the guidance of the Vivre Cards buried in Punk Hazard, it is confirmed that the location of the Punk Hazard is going in the direction of the Dressrosa!"
"Dressrosa?"
Sengoku looked gloomy and asked directly: "How is the fleet led by Sakazuki?"
"Just an hour ago, the Buster Call fleet officially set off from the G-1 branch to Dressrosa…"
Brannew responded: "And Admiral Aokiji has already started to board the warship from the G-5 branch, preparing to reunite with Admiral Akainu and others!"
"Bad!"
At this time, Vice-Admiral Tsuru suddenly had a drastic change of expression.
There, she said to Sengoku in a deep voice: "Inside Punk Hazard, there are a large number of experimental bodies frozen… The World Government has never given up the experiment of Human Gigantization over the years; there are many giants and even the corpses of the ancient giants!"
"If Obask Luke is really the user of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, or if Gecko Moria is not dead but has cooperated with him… then with these corpses alone, the Netherworld Pirates can create an astonishing number of giant zombies!"
"What!?"
Sengoku's expression changed drastically.
And adjutant Brannew was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak.
"This is troublesome!"
… … …
Boom!
Rumble!
Next to Dressrosa, the sea was surging, and huge waves were surging.
A huge island fell from the sky again.
For a time, it caused a huge sensation, making those people a little panicked and unease because early this morning, the World Economy News had already reported that the World Government announced that it would directly deprive the Dressrosa of its affiliated country status and would encircle and suppress the Netherworld Pirates.
Queen Violet had to do her best to appease her people and not let them worry.
"Your majesty, what exactly do the Netherworld Pirates want to do?"
In the palace, Kyros hesitantly asks Violet, who has barely recovered her spirit and started to handle government affairs: "This series of actions has caused a lot of panic… especially when the World Government announced that it would deprive the kingdom of Dressrosa of its affiliated country status. The people in the country are a little uneasy and disgusted!"
Due to Sugar falling unconscious, he has recovered from his toy body and has been remembered by the general public.
He still tends to invite King Riku back to be the king. However, considering that the Donquixote Family was destroyed by the Netherworld Pirates and that Obask Luke had no intention of controlling this country, under the persuasion of his sister-in-law, Queen Violet, he resumed his position as the captain of the king's army.
At Violet's request, Law has used Devil Fruit's ability to select a suitable replacement from the cadres of the Donquixote Family and reconnect his severed limbs.
Kyros had no choice but to accept the fact that Violet succeeded to the throne and became the new ruler of Dressrosa; after all, in terms of blood, as a princess of the Riku Royal Family, Violet.
She's indeed the first heir to the throne of the kingdom.
"Brother-in-law, I should have told you that Donquixote Doflamingo was once a Celestial Dragon…"
Looking at Kyros, her brother-in-law and the captain of the kingdom's army.
Violet smiled bitterly and patiently explained: "Moreover, he is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. After usurping the throne of the kingdom of Dressrosa, he was recognized by the World Government…"
"In order to maintain its prestige, the World Government still tried to cover up the truth and deprived the kingdom of Dressrosa of its status… and even publicly announced to the outside world that my father, King Riku, was a greedy and brutal tyrant who killed innocent people and did not recognize our Riku family to take back the throne of Dressrosa!"
"I know this, the shameless face of the World Government is too hateful…"
Kyros clenched his fists and said worriedly: "It's just that without the status of an affiliated country, the people feel very panicked and uneasy!"
The fate of civilians in non-affiliated countries is very clear.
Some people even blamed Violet for her unnecessary actions, insisting on joining forces with the Netherworld Pirates to defeat the Donquixote Family, causing Dressrosa to lose its affiliated country status.
They believed that the former princess of the Riku family did this just to regain the throne and did not care about them at all.
This made Kyros angry and helpless at the same time.
People's hearts are like this.
When it comes to their own interests, they will not talk about justice.
"Brother-in-law, if it's just like this, I can completely give up the throne of Dressrosa. After all, the reason why the Riku family became the royal family of Dressrosa was that everyone recommended it…"
Looking directly at Kyros, Violet's face was full of seriousness.
She sighed there and said faintly: "But the World Government will not give up. They don't care about Dressrosa at all. The lives of the people of Dressrosa, they only care about their own reputation…"
"I even just received news that the Marine Headquarters has made up its mind to launch a Buster Call against Dressrosa!"
"What!?"
Kyros's expression changed drastically.
He never thought that the World Government would actually launch a Buster Call against Dressrosa.
As the army commander of the kingdom of Dressrosa, he is not an ignorant and hot-blooded young man.
The thought of a military force that is terrifying enough to destroy a country is simply despairing.
What can Dressrosa use to stop it?
"They not only target Luke-sama and his men, even if the Netherworld Pirates leave now, the World Government will not miss this opportunity to establish its power…"
Violet clenched her fists; her face was more solemn than ever, and she gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice: "On the contrary, it is us in Dressrosa that must rely on the Netherworld Pirates to survive!"
When she heard Robin say it.
At first, she was shocked and a little at a loss.
Angry, panic, uneasy, confused… various emotions run through her.
But after Robin's analysis, she comes to her senses and sees the evil and cruel faces of the World Government.
Now, Dressrosa has no way to retreat.
They can only believe in Luke unconditionally and believe in the power of the Netherworld Pirates.
"Damn it…"
Kyros, who was a little furious, clenched his fists tightly, and his muscles bulged out.
With his eyes blazing with fire, he gritted his teeth and said: "What do those bastards in the World Government think of human life?"
"Aren't those Celestial Dragons who are so high and mighty and don't regard anyone as a human being except themselves always like this?"
Violet said helplessly. She didn't expect that after finally defeating Doflamingo and taking back Dressrosa, she would encounter such a change. "Violet… No, Queen, what should we do now?"
Kyros's expression changed. He took a deep breath and asked anxiously. "I will announce the news later. If the citizens want to leave, let them leave!"
Violet said in a deep voice with a firm look in her eyes.
Kyros hesitated: "But…"
"Don't worry, Ms. Robin has already informed me!"
Violet interrupted Kyros and said directly: "When the time comes, Luke-sama will directly let Shiryu use the power of the Float-Float Fruit to move the entire Dressrosa to a safer location in the New World!"
"Is that so? This is the only way!"
