While walking.
There was a sudden commotion in the crowd as the Royal Guards opened the way in front of them, escorting King Riku and others wearing a crown behind them.
Before King Riku and others arrived, a pink-haired little loli came out first.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Ross?"
The pink-haired little loli asked Ross with her cute big eyes, her voice was childish, it was King Riku's granddaughter, Princess Rebecca of Dressrosa.
Ross glanced down at Rebecca, who was now only ten years old, and some of the pictures in his memory came out and he couldn't help but smile faintly.
Robin on the side was very fond of Rebecca and grinned: "If there is no one with the same name, then it should be our Captain."
"Thank you very much."
Rebecca bit her lip and bowed to Ross, expressing her sincere gratitude in a tender voice. If it hadn't been for Ross, she wouldn't have known that the one-legged toy soldier next to her was her father, Cyrus.
"A princess can't just bow to anyone, right?"
Ross smiled faintly. It doesn't matter what a Princess is. In his aesthetic, this kind of Loli is a very cute creature, naturally different from the ordinary civilians around her.
Just then, King Riku's voice came from behind.
"No, Rebecca, she should be thanking you."
Surrounded by soldiers, King Riku came out of the crowd. As a king of a country and an old man, his expression and attitude were calm and did not reveal anything.
He looked at Ross solemnly and said, "Please allow me to express my utmost gratitude to you on behalf of all the people of Dressrosa."
Many years ago.
He was framed by Doflamingo, robbed of his position as King, and reduced to a sinner of Dressrosa, all of which was almost like hell for him as a King.
But just over half a year ago, Ross came to Dressrosa, broke the surface light, made all the darkness public, and allowed the country to enjoy the sunshine again. This was a great favor for him and the people of Dressrosa.
"Your Majesty …"
Everyone nearby was surprised to see King Riku slowly bowing to Ross. A nearby guard tried to stop him, but his outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.
However …
In the end, King Riku did not continue his bow.
"Please don't be like this, King Riku, we are pirates." Robin stopped King Riku's salute and spoke softly to him.
Due to the Dressrosa incident, this place has become the focus of the world's attention. Not only is the Revolutionary Army secretly protecting it, but also the major forces are secretly watching it. The World Government does not dare to easily issue a Demon Slayer Order here and destroy this country.
Doing so would be tantamount to stirring up more chaos than the Dressrosa incident.
But.
If King Riku saluted a pirate, it would give the World Government an opportunity to make a fuss. Although the World Government may not dare to do anything to Dressrosa in public, it is not a good thing after all.
"Nicole, Robin …"
King Riku was stopped, and he turned to look at Robin in silence.
Ross slowly opened his mouth, his voice was Distorted and passed to King Riku's ear, saying: "This is not the place to talk. I have something to talk to you about. I don't know if your palace has been rebuilt."
After his voice fell, Ross took Sugar's little hand and walked through the crowd on one side with Robin and disappeared in an instant.
… …
King's Plateau.
Dressrosa's palace was the last to be built and is still under reconstruction. The temporary palace is the former King's Plateau, where King Riku and other royal families live.
Robin and Ross stood in the garden of the King's Plateau, looking at the garden scenery in front of them, she spoke to King Riku.
"If the news of saluting a pirate outside gets out, I don't know how much trouble it will cause. After all, this place is still part of the World Government."
"World Government …"
King Riku sighed and said, "After this series of things, how can I trust the World Government again."
In fact, he wanted to withdraw from the World Government, but the real royal family of Dressrosa was the Donquixote Family 800 years ago. Because Donquixote Family moved to Holy Land Mariejois, the Riku Family took over the throne.
Therefore, Dressrosa is one of the first orthodox countries to join the World Government. Even as a king, he has no right to make the choice to withdraw from the World Government.
Robin sighed softly.
She knows the history of Dressrosa clearly and understands the situation of King Riku. Even if she is dissatisfied with the World Government, there is nothing she can do about it.
Ross looked at the Sunflower Garden in the King's Plateau and said, "If there is a huge regime that can oppose the World Government in the future, what will you choose, King Riku?"
"Well … …"
King Riku was slightly startled.
As one of the Five Emperors, it is obviously impossible for Ross to say such a thing, but the emergence of a regime that opposes the World Government is something that has never happened in 800 years!
Even the 'former Yonkō (Four Emperors)' who ruled the New World is not a regime that opposes the World Government. The World Government just doesn't want to cause too much impact and loss, so they let Yonkō (Four Emperors) do not have the power to fight against the World Government.
To establish a regime that opposes the World Government, this is not something that can be done by simply finding some islands to plant a flag. In addition to having enough power to compete with the World Government, there must be countries that far exceed the number of New World islands that choose to join.
Otherwise.
It's just a joke.
To achieve this level is much more difficult than becoming a Pirate King. Even if Ross is already one of the Five Emperors, it is almost impossible for King Riku to establish a regime that opposes the World Government.
"If there is a fair and just new government, I would like to join it."
King Riku said slowly. There was no one else here except him and Ross, so he didn't mind saying such words that would make the World Government fall out.
Ross smiled faintly.
In this way, he has completed the start of the first country, although there is still a long journey ahead.
Defeating all Yonkō (Four Emperors), reaching the pinnacle of Yonkō (Four Emperors) and becoming the Pirate King, even this is far from enough. In terms of power, he needs at least three Yonkō (Four Emperors) Pirates to have the capital to compete with the World Government.
And in terms of territory, even if all the territories of Yonkō (Four Emperors) are gathered together and the entire New World is included under the banner, it can barely reach the standard of 'regime'.
Naturally.
These are a little too far away. The biggest problem in front of him now is Yonkō (Four Emperors). How to defeat Yonkō (Four Emperors) and take their place is what Ross needs to consider at present.
An 'emperor' who only had power but no territory was extremely laughable.
In the eyes of countless forces throughout the sea, including King Riku standing here, it is clear in their hearts that the Ghost Hand Pirates are bound to collide fiercely with other Yonkō (Four Emperors)!
Will they reshuffle and divide their sphere of influence into five pieces, or will one of them eventually be annihilated in history and restore the former Yonkō (Four Emperors) pattern?
No one knows.
The only thing that can be known is that this sea will never settle down!
