The news exploded on the island like a bomb, causing widespread discussion and anxiety.
Why did His Majesty Doflamingo resign?
"Without His Majesty's protection, Dressrosa will be attacked by pirates!"
"I heard it's because Straw Hat Luffy is coming."
"The Sea Emperor who killed a Celestial Dragon?"
People gathered in the streets and alleys, their faces filled with worry.
Doflamingo ruled Dressrosa for ten years. Although he secretly used the Hobby-Hobby Fruit to turn the rebels into toys and the String-String Fruit to manipulate the will of the people, on the surface he was indeed a hero who saved the country from the hands of a tyrant.
Doflamingo ascended the throne after protecting his people under the rule of the tyrannical King Riku.
Of course, this was all due to Doflamingo's abilities; he orchestrated and acted out his own scheme.
The deceived citizens gathered in the square outside the palace, a sea of people holding up signs and banners, their voices deafening.
"Your Majesty, please do not leave!"
"Dres Rosa needs you!"
"Continue to be our king!"
"We support you, Your Majesty Doflamingo!"
On the highest terrace of the palace, Doflamingo looked down at the crowd below, a signature wicked smile spreading across his face.
"Fufufufufu, what a touching scene."
He wore a pink feather coat, and his eyes behind brown sunglasses swept over the devout faces.
These people were subtly influenced by his rule, viewing his plunder of the kingdom as a blessing and his tyranny as protection.
What a wonderful sense of control.
"However, I will not simply hand over the kingdom I have built."
Doflamingo muttered to himself.
He turned and walked back to the palace.
In the spacious hall, the Don Quixote family's executives had already gathered.
Torrepol, his body sticky, moved closer:
"Hehehe, Dover, those people outside are so noisy, should I turn them all into toys?"
"Need not."
Doflamingo waved his hand, "They're still useful."
His gaze fell on Diamanti.
The top official, dressed like a native tribe leader, immediately straightened his back.
"Diamanti, the bullring has already attracted quite a few strong fighters, hasn't it?"
The bullring, also known as the Kreda Arena, was originally a place where gladiators honed their swordsmanship.
However, since Doflamingo came to power, it has become a place of pure mutual slaughter and sensationalism, filled with an atmosphere of bloodshed and violence!
The arena uses an elimination system, and Doflamingo even brought out a precious Devil Fruit for this Corrida arena.
The winner will receive a Logia-type Devil Fruit!
Chapter 443 Luffy: I have a great idea
Logia-type Devil Fruits are extremely rare in the ocean, and even the most powerful Logia-type users can become pirate supernovas. It's not impossible for a powerful Logia-type user to become a Marine Admiral.
It can be said that the upper and lower limits are extremely high.
As soon as the news spread, a large number of powerful individuals arrived in Dressrosa.
Pirates, bounty hunters, and even elite warriors from some countries flocked to the New World.
The nation's elite soldiers are not ordinary people.
For example, Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, was born as a warrior of a certain kingdom, and his reputation was earned through countless battles.
The hotels near the arena are now fully booked, and you can see men with weapons and fierce eyes everywhere on the streets.
The more chaotic, the better.
A Logia-type Devil Fruit can attract a considerable number of powerful individuals.
Doflamingo needs these people to work for him, at least to serve as cannon fodder when the Straw Hat crew arrives.
"Since you've put it that way, I'll accept it. Dover, leave this to me."
Diamanti patted his chest and assured him.
Doflamingo grinned, then praised Diamante a few more times before turning to the other officers:
"Pika, how's the fortification of the palace going?"
"It's all done. The Stone-Stone Fruit's power can turn the royal palace into the most impregnable fortress."
"That's what Pika said in her high-pitched voice."
"very good."
"Señor, what about the underground port?"
Wearing baby clothes and sucking on a pacifier, Señor nodded: "It can be activated at any time. If things go wrong, we can evacuate from the seabed."
Doflamingo surveyed his family with satisfaction.
Torrepol, Diamanti, Pica, Rao G, Mahabais, Delinger, Señor, Guradius, Baffaro, baby-5... and most importantly, sugar.
This seemingly harmless little girl is the true foundation of his rule over Dressrosa!
As long as Sugar is around, he has the potential to turn things around.
......
In a dilapidated house in the old town of Dressrosa.
In the dim light, two women sat facing each other.
The younger one was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with long pink hair, wearing simple leather armor, and a sword hanging at his waist.
Rebecca.
She defied the Donquixote family in her youth and was captured and forced into the bullring to become a prisoner gladiator.
She was determined to overthrow Doflamingo's rule.
Just today, a woman claiming to be her aunt found her and told her about her background and everything that had happened to the royal family of Dressrosa.
I never imagined that my family had this kind of connection with Doflamingo.
The older woman appeared to be in her early thirties, with long, dark purple hair and wearing a gorgeous dance dress.
Viola.
The former princess of the Kingdom of Dressrosa.
"This is everything about our royal family, Rebecca."
The girl covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Auntie, what about my father, mother, and other family members?"
"My father is still alive, but I don't know about the other members of the royal family. Because there is a Devil Fruit user in the Doflamingo family, and if they are still alive, I don't have any memories of him."
Because Donquixote had his eye on her Devil Fruit ability, Viola used this to plead with Doflamingo to save her father's life, and chose to join the Donquixote Pirates to serve Doflamingo.
Viola has limited information because she is not fully trusted by Doflamingo.
For years, she has been lurking within the Donquixote Family, desperately seeking an opportunity to overthrow Doflamingo.
"This is an opportunity."
Viola grasped Rebecca's hand. "Doflamingo clashed with the Straw Hat Pirates, the Emperors of the Sea, and even resigned from his position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
This is why Viola chose to seek out Rebecca.
She saw hope.
The hope of overthrowing Doflamingo's rule!
Doflamingo's legitimacy has been stripped, and he will soon be fighting the Straw Hat Emperor Luffy and his crew.
After that, regardless of who wins or loses, it will be the most chaotic time in Dressrosa.
"What...what should I do?"
“Find the World Economic Herald and tell everyone what’s going on here. Morgans will be very interested in what’s happening here.”
"Why not go to the Navy and the World Government?"
......
"Hahaha."
A young girl struggles to escape from the coast of Dressrosa, pursued by a group of marines.
Rebecca gripped her longsword tightly, without turning her head.
It was the right thing not to go after the Navy and the World Government!
She finally understood the worried look on her aunt's face earlier.
The group of so-called justice-upholding navy soldiers behind her chased her like wolves and tigers.
"stop!"
"If you run again, we'll shoot!"
"Stop and talk this out. Tell us what you know. We're the Navy!"
