Chapter 383 Shelter

“Royal Father, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. This is my decision, As the princess of Dressrosa, since she has enjoyed the convenience brought by her status, she naturally has to set an example when Dressrosa encounters a crisis!

And Dressrosa has just encountered such a great misfortune, and she still needs Royal Father, you lead the people out.”

Violet gently stepped forward to hold King Riku’s hands, and Kazlan looked at Riku King with big eyes and said sincerely.

The damage done to Dressrosa through this battle is arguably the worst since Dressrosa existed.

Be aware that even Donquixote Pirates’ move to Holy Land Mariejois was nothing but a fortune that Dressrosa had accumulated.

As now, although the destroyed buildings can be rebuilt, the people of Dressrosa who died under the sword of the Pirate and the outlaws cannot be resurrected.

And in this invasion, the hyenas of the Underground World also came to smell the smell, human trafficking, organ trafficking, too many Dressrosa people disappeared, and in this piece What it means to disappear at sea is self-evident…

And the army that was originally responsible for protecting the country was also hit hard by the Pirate invasion immediately.

Violet and Scarlet, as well as Riku Dold III, grieve at the thought of the countless victims, including many acquaintances and friends.

But now they don’t even have time to cry.

Because the current Dressrosa has made them understand after this incident that they can’t count on the protection from World Government and Marine in the face of invasion, and the annual gold in the sky is nothing but nothing.

So they must find a way as soon as possible to find a new strong backer for Dressrosa, so as to avoid the attack of the Pirates one after another.

And Nicholas and Dorag, who easily defeated Doflamingo, naturally became the best backers they could think of.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside the living room door.

Hearing the footsteps, everyone in the living room subconsciously got up and stood upright, looking towards the door of the living room with a serious expression.

Crunching——

Nicholas pushed in the door under the leadership of the guard, and saw Liku Dold III standing in the center with bandages and two of them standing in the center. Scarlett and Violet on the side.

“Sit down, you’re welcome.”

After Nicholas sat down, a calm voice rang out, as if he was the master and King Riku and his daughter were the guests. The three of King Liku and his daughter also sat down subconsciously in Nicholas’s words.

While Nicholas was looking at the three, King Riku was also looking at Nicholas.

“Lord Nicholas.”

Scarlett opened his mouth with honorifics.

Facing a powerhouse like Nicholas, this is also a matter of as it should be by rights, not to mention that the other party still saved Dressrosa.

“We… no, the whole Dressrosa wants your shelter.”

Scarlett looked at Nicholas and said seriously.

“oh?”

Nicholas glanced at Scarlett with a strange look, and said indifferently: “Why? You need to know the content of our transaction, but we will help you solve it. Dressrosa’s crisis, Violet belongs to me. It seems that the protection of Dressrosa or something is no longer in the trade.”

Violet hearing this, couldn’t help lowering his head, and stirred the corners of his clothes with his hands, apparently because of Nicholas Some words of not knowing what to do.

Scarlett turned his head to look at the younger sister beside him, sighed in his heart, and immediately took a deep breath.

In fact, she also knows that there is no free benefit in the world.

If you want something, you have to give something.

But what benefits can Dressrosa give now?

Scarlet’s expression gradually became serious as his thoughts turned rapidly.

“As long as you can protect Dressrosa, everything in Dressrosa is at your disposal, including me.”

As Scarlett finished speaking, he saw Riku Dole. De III, Violet, and even an unknown man with one leg and one arm in a gladiator costume looked at Scarlet in shock and puzzlement.

“…”

Nicholas was silent for a moment at Scarlett’s words, then laughed.

“You must have heard what I did some time ago, right? You should understand what it means to plant my ‘flag’ in Dressrosa at this time?”

” en. ”

Scarlett is heavily nodded, of course she knows what that means, but do they have a choice? They have no choice.

In the New World, the former Dressrosa had no support from the World Government and Marine when they were invaded, and they didn’t think they would get it when they faced the Pirate invasion again.

While planting the Nicholas flag, the entire Dressrosa would be stamped with the Nicholas Pirates stamp, even hostile to the World Government.

But so what, the hostility of the World Government, compared to the whole Dressrosa being ravaged by the Pirate, and then completely destroyed, what is the hostility of the World Government? ?

And Scarlett’s determination, Nicholas also clearly felt.

“Then lend the flag to you guys. As for you, forget it. I have a wife.”

Nicholas smiled at Scarlett, thinking The words that he just said and let Nicholas use it made Scarlett a little sorry.

Just lending a flag to a country about to be devoured by the swarming Pirate and the Underground World, and sheltering that country, is nothing at worst for Nicholas, let’s just say is an insignificant little thing.

After all, with his notoriety on the sea now, when he sees a country with his own flag, the Pirate and Underground World guys will only go around, where they dare to stir up the storm.

“By the way, when we leave, you can follow Dorag. Of course, everything you own is mine. This is just a temporary call.”

Nicholas raised his finger With Violet.

“Huh?”

Violet was immediately stunned, and a look of astonishment slowly appeared on her exotic face.

She originally thought that Nicholas would bring her under his command, but didn’t expect to push her to Dorag.

Looking at Drago’s calm look, it was obvious that the two of them had already made an agreement.

In just a few seconds, the look of consternation on Violet’s face disappeared, replaced by a bright and moving smile.

Evidently she has grown a lot in just a few days.

She understands that in front of such a powerhouse, she is not qualified to bargain.

“No problem, my Lord Nicholas.”

Violet met Nicholas’s gaze and agreed.

She knew very well that the other party might need her abilities, but so what.

Although I work under Dorag temporarily, Dressrosa can once again get a strong shelter. With the shelter of two top powerhouses in the sea, Dressrosa’s future will definitely be extremely stable.

And the price to pay is just her.

It’s really good.
