One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 88: Worship and Two Devil Fruits

A few days passed, the funeral of the old King Riku was completed, and Riku Dold III officially became the new King Riku. His three-year-old daughter Riku Scarlet was also appointed as the eldest princess. Three months after the coronation ceremony, Kaido and Lily came to the Kingdom of Dressrosa.

"Hahahaha, here you two are." Looking at the two people who landed directly in the back garden, the new King Riku didn't mind at all. After all, if these two people wanted to do anything to him, there was no need to bother with this. What's more, King Riku also knew what they meant.

"Yeah, I'm here. Sorry it took you so long." Lily said first.

"It's okay, it's okay. I understand. I understand. In fact, I want to thank you two for considering so much for me." King Riku waved his hand and said.

"Okay, stop being polite and take us to see old King Riku." Kaido hated useless courtesy and interrupted.

"Okay, I'm sorry for being so unfamiliar. Please follow me." King Liku smiled and led the way.

The three of them were walking on a small path in the King's Highlands. All the members of the Riku family will be buried here after death. The three of them chatted along the way. Kaido said that King Riku was not kind. He did not invite him when he got married and had children. King Riku did not care. He had a good relationship with Kaido. The reason why he did not invite Kaido was entirely because when he got married, because of the revival of Dressrosa, the old King Riku said he wanted to make a big show, so too many people were invited, even the World Government and the Navy came, so he did not dare to invite Kaido.

As for the birth of the child, although King Liku was very happy at that time, it was not a big deal after all, and he did not invite anyone. Even the ministers did not know about it until a week later. However, King Liku still apologized in a playful manner, saying that he would definitely drink three cups of wine as a punishment during lunch. The few of them laughed and joked all the way to the grave.

"Father, Kaido and Lily are here to see you." King Riku placed the flowers in his hand in front of the grave. Kaido and Lily looked at the grave in front of them, which was no different from ordinary people's graves except for the beautiful scenery. They had a higher opinion of old King Riku.

"Wulal ...

Lily took out some yellow paper from her waist bag. This was the custom of the Flower Kingdom, which Wanshou taught her. Every year, Lily would burn some for Wanshou. This time, Lily brought this with her. The flame of Suzaku ignited the yellow paper, and green smoke drifted slowly and then dissipated into the air.

Half an hour later, all the yellow paper that Lily brought was burned. After saying goodbye to old King Liku, the three of them walked away again. After leaving the cemetery, King Liku also asked the questions in his heart.

"Lily, what were those yellow papers just now?"

"Well, it's a custom in the Kingdom of Flowers. In the traditional customs of the Kingdom of Flowers, people will enter a new world after they die. After the yellow paper is burned, it will become money in another world and be sent to the deceased. At the same time, it can also bring the thoughts of their relatives over."

"As expected of Lily, you actually know the situation in the Kingdom of Flowers." King Riku nodded. He felt that this custom was quite interesting. Should it be promoted?

"It's nothing. My master is from the Kingdom of Flowers. He taught me." Lily nodded and said nonchalantly.

"I see, I see. Come on, both of you, follow me, I'll take you to eat something." King Liku did not ask any further questions about such a private matter. He waved his hand and changed the topic to another one.

"Wow, that's great. Let's have more wine and meat. The meat tastes so good." Kaido laughed happily when he heard this. Every time he came to Dressrosa, Kaido would try this kind of "wine and meat".

"Hahaha, no problem, eat as much as you want, it's my treat today!" King Riku laughed. Anyway, the economy of Dressrosa has recovered now, so he no longer has to worry about not being able to afford a meal like before.

The three of them returned to the palace. Compared to the dilapidated state it was many years ago, the palace had now been thoroughly renovated and was regaining its former glory.

The three of them came to the restaurant, and saw a pink-haired woman waiting there with a pretty little girl, about three or four years old.

"Oh, Flora, you are already here. I wanted to have someone inform you." King Riku opened his arms and hugged the woman. Flora, the wife of Riku Dold III, represents flowers in the slang of Dressrosa. "I guessed when Mr. Kaido and Ms. Lily came. I have asked someone to prepare lunch. Please take a seat." The first half of the sentence was said to King Riku, and the second half was naturally to Kaido and Lily.

"Thank you, Flora, but don't call me sir, just call me Kaido." This was not the first time Kaido met Flora. After all, he often went to drink with King Riku, who was still a prince at the time.

"Scarlett, come and call uncle and aunt." King Riku walked to Kaido and Lily with his daughter in his arms.

"Uncle! Auntie!" The little girl's clear voice made Kaido and Lily smile unconsciously.

"Okay, okay, here, this is for you." Lily smiled and took out two blue bells and handed them to Scarlett. The little girl took them happily, held them in her hands and shook them, and the bells made a crisp sound.

"This is too valuable." Scarlett is just a little girl, but King Riku knows what's good. These two bells are not ordinary. They are actually carved from sapphires. Not to mention the value of these two fist-sized sapphires themselves, the craftsmanship of carving sapphires into bells alone is extraordinary.

"Oh, it's okay. It's just a small trinket for children to play with." Kaido didn't care at all. This kind of thing was nothing to the beasts.

"Okay, then I'll be honored to refuse." King Riku saw that Kaido really didn't care at all, so he didn't bother to be polite. Several people sat down, Scarlett sat on Flora's lap, and the waiter began to serve the dishes. Several people drank and talked happily. When the wine had gone through thirty glasses and the dishes had tasted five flavors, King Riku got to the point.

"Actually, if you two don't come today, I would like to invite you two to come in a few days." King Riku said to Kaido while holding up his wine glass.

"If you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need for us to do anything fancy." Kaido drank a glass of wine without caring. He glanced at Scarlett who was held in Lily's arms. He couldn't help but think that if he had a child, it would be a good and obedient daughter. However, this idea was quickly thrown out of Kaido's mind and he continued to listen to King Riku's words.

"In fact, when our fleet went to deliver the goods, something happened to the other party, so they didn't have that much cash, so they used other things to pay off the debt."

"Just tell me, what is this tricky thing? Do you need me to help you sell it?" Kaido thought about it and thought that it was probably some contraband. Dressrosa had no sales channels, so he needed the help of the Beasts.

"No, no, no, I'm going to sell it to you." King Liku waved his hand and then smiled strangely.

"Sell it to me?" Kaido scratched his head. What? Wait, could it be... "Did you get a devil fruit?"

“Hahahaha, that’s right!” King Riku laughed, then turned around and shouted, “Bring the things up!”

Following King Liku's shout, the same envoy came up dragging a tray and placed it on the table.

"Ha, it's still so mysterious." Kaido rubbed his hands excitedly, waiting for King Riku to open the lid. This sense of ritual is still necessary.

"Come, take a look." King Riku didn't waste any time and opened the lid in front of him. A fruit that looked like a banana and a fruit that looked like a peach appeared in front of everyone.

"Dragon-Dragon Fruit - Ancient Species - Pachycephalosaurus Form, Sloth Fruit - Ancient Species - Megalodon Form!"
