The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 290 Taking over
Weiss looked quietly at King Riku kneeling on the ground, his eyes deep and cold, as if he was examining an object.

He was weighing the pros and cons in his mind, his thoughts spinning like fast gears. He thought about his plan, and the number of devil fruits collected by the Heart Pirates alone was far from enough.

【Perhaps taking control of this country is a good option. 】

The thought flashed through Wes's mind, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

If we can bring them under our command and use them for our own purposes, the efficiency of collecting devil fruits will be greatly improved.

Moreover, the country's unique geographical location and trade relations may bring him more unexpected gains.

He needs a large number of subordinates, and these subordinates must be obedient.

Thinking of this, Weiss slowly raised his hand, took out two bottles of potion from his arms, and threw them to King Riku and Cyrus nonchalantly.

"Drink it." His voice was low and unquestionable.

King Liku and Kyrus took the potion and looked at each other. They saw hesitation and worry in each other's eyes.

"You can't drink it. Who knows what's in it?"

King Riku's men shouted anxiously, their eyes filled with fear, worried that the two bottles of potion were poison.

The atmosphere around them instantly became tense, and everyone held their breath, watching every move of King Liku and Cyrus.

However, King Liku and Cyrus hesitated only briefly before resolutely drinking the potion.

They knew they had no choice.

In this world where the strong are respected, resistance will only bring a heavier price. They can only choose to believe in Weiss, even if it may be a road to death.

As soon as I drank it, something magical happened.

The shocking wounds on the two men began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if an invisible hand was carefully repairing broken porcelain.

The torn muscles grew back, the broken bones were gradually restored, the bleeding stopped, and the pain disappeared.

Not only that, their almost exhausted physical strength recovered quickly like a dry land watered by rain.

Strength returned to their bodies and the fatigue was swept away.

"This is?"

King Riku looked at his intact body in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief.

In fact, this was just a test by Wes.

He wanted to see whether King Liku and Cyrus were really willing to obey his orders completely for the sake of their loved ones and survival.

This is a small test, through which he can make a preliminary judgment on whether these two people are worth being controlled by him.

If they didn't even dare to drink these two bottles of potion, Weiss wouldn't waste his time on them.

Now it seems that he is quite satisfied with the performance of these two people.

Wes lets Violet out.

Violet looked around in confusion, but when she saw that King Riku and Cyrus were safe and sound, a hint of surprise and relief flashed in her eyes.

Without even a second glance at them, Weiss headed straight for the castle.

"From today on, this country belongs to me." Weiss's voice was quiet, but it exploded in everyone's ears like thunder. His tone was calm, as if he was stating a simple fact, but the domineering aura contained in it made everyone tremble.

Before anyone could react, the castle's heavy gate slowly closed with a dull roar, like a ruthless barrier separating Weiss from everyone else and announcing the change of power in the country.

"What should we do now?" a subordinate asked anxiously, his eyes full of helplessness and confusion.

The people around them looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never imagined they would one day face such a situation. They had originally fought to protect the country's treasure, but now they were caught in an even more complicated predicament. "Alas, let's appease the people first." King Riku sighed deeply, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and fatigue.

In this short period of time, so many unexpected changes happened that he felt like a small boat drifting on the turbulent sea, being tossed mercilessly by the waves of fate.

But he knew that no matter what, the people were innocent and he could not let them fall into deeper panic.

"Don't worry, he has no ill will towards this country."

Just when everyone was worried, a voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone turned around and saw Luo appear behind them at some point.

"Who are you?" King Riku asked the man in the spotted hat in front of him in confusion.

"Trafalgar Law, just a pirate." Law replied calmly. There was a hint of indifference in his eyes, but it seemed to hide some unknown story.

After a brief self-introduction, King Liku and others learned the whole story from Luo.

It turns out that Luo and the Don Quixote family have an irreconcilable feud. In order to get revenge, he reached a deal with Wes and then participated in the action against the Don Quixote family.

"Maybe this is a good thing. After all, he is very strong."

One person said thoughtfully.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and they were all frightened when they recalled Weiss's amazing strength.

He single-handedly captured all the cadres of Don Quixote's family without any effort.

And in the chaos just now, Weiss used only one move to eliminate thousands of pirates.

That terrifying power was like a god descending to earth.

I'm afraid only the legendary Four Emperors have such strength.

In this sea full of dangers and unknowns, strength is the basis of survival, and the strength displayed by Wes has far exceeded their imagination.

Perhaps, under his rule, the country can really usher in a new turn, although everything is full of uncertainty.

The news of the defeat of Don Quixote's family spread to every corner of the ocean at an astonishing speed in less than a day.

Whether in the bustling island ports or in the mysterious pirate bases hidden in the vast ocean, people are talking about this major event that shocked the entire world.

The World Economic News Agency, like a tireless information machine, reported the entire process quickly and comprehensively.

They used detailed text, vivid pictures and professional analysis to present the downfall of the Don Quixote family to the world.

The cover of this report became the focus of everyone's attention - it was a photo of Weiss defeating Doflamingo with just one finger.

This news was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing the sea to begin to shake.

Some pirates were very excited because they had one less powerful competitor;

Others were concerned that this would disrupt the existing balance of power in the ocean, and the nations and kingdoms on the various islands were also watching the matter closely.

Especially the underground world, it was in chaos.

As the largest middleman and arms dealer in the underground world, the fall of the Don Quixote family was like a devastating earthquake, throwing the order of the entire underground world into chaos.

Those underground forces that once had close business dealings with the Don Quixote family are now in panic and anxiety.

Countless transactions were forced to be interrupted, and the originally stable chain of interests collapsed in an instant.

A huge gap has appeared in the arms trade market. All parties are eyeing it covetously, ready to fight for this piece of fat meat. New conflicts and disputes are quietly breeding in the dark. The entire underground world seems to be shrouded in a thick haze, full of conspiracy and blood.
