The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 333 Meeting

King Riku rushed as fast as he could, but he was still the last to arrive at the castle.

As he stepped into the hall, his gaze swept across the room, and he was surprised to find that Kuzan was also there, having also been summoned by Wes.

Like everyone else, King Riku had little trust in Kuzan.

After all, Kuzan's past identity and his unfathomable strength made everyone more or less wary, as if he were a bomb with unknown variables hidden in his heart, making people feel uneasy.

However, they held Wes in absolute respect and obedience, and even though they had many doubts about Kuzan, they would not question Wes's orders.

Once everyone had arrived, to everyone's surprise, Wes started chatting with Kuzan, and the atmosphere seemed quite relaxed and comfortable.

Wes looked at Kuzan with a faint smile and asked, "How are you feeling?"

Kuzan, on the other hand, looked completely at ease, shrugged, and replied, "Pretty good."

He wasn't lying; since arriving in Dressrosa, he had indeed been living a rather leisurely life.

Luo and Violet were always wary of Kuzan, so they never dared to give him any important tasks, only assigning him the simplest jobs imaginable.

For example, you could send him to clear out the pirates in the nearby waters and maintain order in the surrounding area.

This is a huge waste of Kuzan's talent.

Those pirates who roamed the seas with tyranny were often so frightened by Kuzan's arrival that their legs would go weak, and most of them would surrender immediately without daring to put up any resistance.

After all, Kuzan's renowned Ice-Ice Fruit ability and his reputation as a former Marine Admiral are not to be underestimated.

Because of this, the waters around Dressrosa became exceptionally peaceful under his influence, and hardly anyone dared to cause trouble there.

As time went on, Kuzan became so idle that he was like a jobless bum, extremely bored.

With nothing to do, he had a sudden inspiration and used his abilities to build an ice park.

At first, it was just a passing fancy, a way for him to find something to do and kill some time.

Unexpectedly, this ice park was enthusiastically received by the people of Dressrosa as soon as it was built.

Dressrosa is a summer island with a hot climate year-round, and most of its inhabitants have never seen ice and snow in their lives.

So when this crystal-clear, fantastical ice park appeared before everyone's eyes, it instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Before long, the ice park was packed with people. Whether it was elderly people with white hair or children with innocent faces, they all loved this place.

The elderly sat on ice benches, watching children laugh and play on the ice, their faces beaming with happiness.

The children excitedly slid up and down the ice slide or chased each other on the ice, having a great time.

Everyone was sincerely grateful to Kuzan, feeling that he had brought a different kind of joy and coolness to this hot island.

Kuzan, although he had been thanked by civilians before when he served in the Navy, felt this time in a particularly different way.

Standing in a corner of the ice park, looking at the lively and joyful scene before him, he couldn't help but feel a unique warmth and satisfaction welling up in his heart.

For the first time, he deeply realized that his abilities, besides being powerful in battle, could also be used to bring so much joy to others.

As time went on, this snow park became increasingly famous, and gradually became another landmark in Dressrosa, attracting countless tourists from other places.

They all wanted to see this magical ice world with their own eyes and experience the wonderful feeling of being in close contact with ice and snow in the hot summer.

After witnessing all this, King Riku and Violet's attitude towards Kuzan subtly changed.

Previously, when they looked at Kuzan, they always seemed wary and refused to communicate with him.

We can occasionally have a meal together.

After a few lighthearted pleasantries, we got down to business.

Violet stepped forward slightly, her expression respectful and serious, and began to give Wess a detailed report on the situation in Dressrosa.

Although Wes usually delegates authority and focuses on his research and exploration in the mage tower, everyone already regards Wes as the true king of this country and holds him in deep respect and awe. Therefore, they are extra careful when reporting and dare not slack off in the slightest.

Wes listened attentively, nodding slightly from time to time with a look of approval on his face. After Violet finished her report, he praised her, "You did a very good job."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Violet's abilities might be considered average among the crowd, but she has an exceptional talent for management. She possesses keen insight and outstanding organizational and coordination skills, enabling her to manage all matters, big and small, in Dressrosa with remarkable efficiency. This is one of the reasons why Wes greatly appreciates her and entrusts her with important responsibilities.

Luo then spoke, mentioning some major events at sea.

When the topic of "Akainu taking over as Fleet Admiral" was brought up, the atmosphere in the entire hall seemed to become subtle, and everyone subconsciously turned their gaze toward Kuzan.

After all, everyone has heard about the entanglement and past between Kuzan and Akainu. They once worked together as admirals, but parted ways due to differences in their ideals, and even had a thrilling battle.

However, Kuzan simply shrugged, his face remaining calm and unfathomable, making it difficult to discern his true thoughts.

Then, Law brought up another matter: "The World Government is recruiting some great pirates to fill the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

This news also sparked a discussion, with everyone aware that this move may have contained many strategic considerations of the world government and a new layout and plan for the maritime situation.

"There's one more thing," Luo said, pulling a letter from his pocket and handing it to Wes, his expression slightly grave.

Wes took the letter and his gaze fell on the signature at the end, where he saw the words "Portgas D. Ace".

A slight thought crossed his mind, and he had already guessed the gist of it.

When he opened the letter and quickly glanced through it, he found that the contents were exactly as he had expected.

In the letter, Ace expressed his strong desire to redeem Whitebeard's remains and stated that he would pay any price.
