"However, government officials are a minority, so some islands will appoint mayors who are highly respected members of the country!"

"Tell me, in all of Dressrosa, who is the most respected person?!"

Borsalino suddenly pressed his hand to his head and shouted, "Oh no! Oh no! I'm really drunk today! Just take what I said earlier as nonsense. Anyway, I'm going back to the warship to rest."

"The king becomes the mayor?!"

"The king is the mayor, and the mayor is the king..."

"I understand! I get it! I understand everything..."

King Riku's eyes widened in shock after hearing Borsalino's words.

In that instant, King Riku seemed to understand something...

"Oh! By the way, I have another interesting tidbit of information here!"

"I've heard... I'm making this clear, it's just hearsay! I didn't say it myself..."

"Our boss, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the World Government's Armed Forces, and the current head of the Figarand family, His Highness Figarand Char, is utterly powerless against beautiful women~"

"If your Riku clan were to become in-laws with the Figarand family, who do you think would be the first mayor of the Kingdom of Dressrosa?!"

Before leaving, Borsalino winked at King Riku.

"Oh no! My head is spinning..."

"When I feel dizzy, I start to get confused, and once I get confused, I start talking nonsense..."

Immediately afterward, before King Riku could say anything more, Borsalino had already turned into golden light and disappeared. Along with Borsalino, the finest tea cakes that King Riku had carefully prepared also vanished.

"Father, can you get drunk from drinking tea?!"

After Borsalino disappeared, King Riku's eldest daughter, Scarlett, blinked her big eyes and looked at King Riku, asking him a question.

"Shh! Some things are better left unsaid, just keep them to yourself..."

Upon hearing his eldest daughter's words, King Riku's forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He winked at his eldest daughter and spoke softly.

"Oh……"

Scarlett nodded slightly upon hearing this, her expression thoughtful.

"So, Father, what is your opinion on what that general just said?!"

Scarlett looked at King Riku and asked.

"Marriage!"

King Riku stroked his beard. He had pondered Borsalino's words repeatedly, and finally gleaned two words from them...

That's a marriage alliance!

Yes, let's arrange a marriage immediately.

"Marriage?!"

Scarlett was taken aback. Logically speaking, the person a country would use for a marriage alliance should be the country's eldest princess!

But as the eldest princess of Dressrosa, she had already married Cyrus and gone to pursue her own happiness; even her daughter was six years old…

Even if we arrange a marriage for her now, there's no hope!

Let alone whether Cyrus would agree or not, even Char would absolutely not agree. The other party is a noble Celestial Dragon, how could he possibly like a married woman like her?!

In response, Cao Xiaoya said, "A married woman?! Where would I find a married woman? Don't be afraid of those Cao thieves outside, let me, Cao Xiaoya, protect you..."

"What?! You mean your daughter is already six years old? Isn't that even better?!"

"Heh, to be honest, if you weren't already married, I wouldn't even give you a second glance! If I hadn't heard that your daughter is already six years old, I would absolutely not have agreed to this marriage!"

cough cough...

"So what I mean is, let Violetta marry him!"

"In short, for the sake of the Riku clan, we must sacrifice something..."

King Riku sat on his throne, his brows furrowed, his expression showing a hint of helplessness.

"My King! Do we really need to be so afraid of the World Government?!"

"Was that guy just now the Admiral, who's known as the World Government's top combat force?!"

"To be honest, I didn't realize just how strong that guy really was..."

Cyrus, the greatest swordsman in Dressrosa, a legend of the Dressrosa Colosseum!

Cyrus, who was also the husband of Princess Dressrosa...

At this moment, with his arms crossed in front of him, he spoke calmly to King Liku.

"Don't underestimate that guy..."

"Every admiral is a monster!"

King Riku sighed.

To be honest, the fact that the World Government has a monster like Borsalino doesn't bother King Riku. Although the Marine Admirals are powerful, they are not absolutely invincible!

At best, he's just the closest thing to invincible! (Here's a little Easter egg in the title of the chapter where Kuzan first appears.)

If these nations unite and their armies, numbering in the tens of millions, launch a coordinated attack on the Admirals, even a powerful Admiral would not be able to wipe them all out before exhausting his strength!

However, the terrifying thing is that even someone as powerful as 'Kizaru' Borsalino is just one of the World Government's admirals! There are nine other admirals like Borsalino in the government, in addition to five fleet admirals…

Facing the World Government, which boasts a total of fourteen top-tier combatants, anyone who stands against them would feel utterly powerless, their legs trembling!

"I'll settle on this marriage arrangement for now..."

"Speaking of which, Cyrus, weren't you curious about the general's strength?!"

"Why not take this opportunity to participate in the World Government's massive recruitment drive!"

"With your abilities, while you might not become a general in the government, you're more than qualified to be a lieutenant general. You can apply to the government to become the base commander stationed in Dressrosa. If we join forces, we'll definitely make Dressrosa shine once again..."

Then, King Riku seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Cyrus in front of him and chuckled softly.

"Yes! If I could become a general in the government..."

"We don't need to look at that general's expression just now. Dressrosa will still belong to the Riku clan!"

After hearing what King Liku said, Cyrus's pupils contracted slightly, and he spoke earnestly.

"Hey! How many times have I told you, being a general isn't easy..."

King Riku looked helpless and sighed deeply.

the other side.

South China Sea, the Kingdom of Kakapo Valley.

"Dover, 'Diamond' Jozu and 'Flower Sword' Vista have already settled in town. Our Donquixote Family has recruited two such powerful fighters, making us the strongest of all the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

Trebol, wrapped in a thick quilt, stood on the balcony, drinking alone under the moon while contemplating certain matters. Doflamingo spoke excitedly.

“Fufufufu…”

"Trebol, what I intend to achieve is not to become the strongest among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but to become the strongest on this entire sea! No, I must surpass the strongest..."

Doflamingo looked up at the moon, his eyes gleaming with the purest of ambitions.

"That's right, even Edward Newgate, the so-called strongest man in the world, was defeated by Char, the Supreme Commander of the World Government's Armed Forces..."

"Doflamingo, if you want to defeat Char, or even stand on equal footing with him, you'll need to obtain power surpassing Whitebeard's. I believe you can definitely do it..."

Trebol looked at Doflamingo and spoke excitedly.

“Fufufufu…”

"That's all for later. There's only one thing to do now!"

"That means a marriage alliance with Xia!"

"Heh, it was that bastard Xia who provoked me first, you all saw that. Don't think he can just use me and then dump me..."

Doflamingo harbors deep resentment. Over the years, for the sake of Char's company, he has clashed with the six emperors of the underworld and outwitted the various kings of the South Blue...

As a result, that damn scumbag Char said he wouldn't talk to him anymore, and he really didn't!

What did that bastard take him for?!

Are they actors who sing in brothels?!

Damn it!!

"Forehead……"

Trebol was stunned after hearing Doflamingo's words.

So what does Doflamingo mean by this?!

Could it be that Doflamingo plans to buy super-estrogens from Ivankov, the Okama King, or Dr. Vegapunk, so he can become a woman and marry Char?!

It doesn’t seem impossible…

"Let Monet and Baby-5 get ready!"

"The worst outcome would be to send both of them to Char!"
