Arceus' Pirate Journey

As a result, their Dihua syndrome not only did not improve, but became even worse. What was originally just imagination had now started to become fabricated out of nothing.

If this sea had a few more stories, they would probably all shout in unison that Doflamingo had lost both his wife and his army.

As the only sober person present, Mr. 3's words failed to wake them up, and Bucky began to think about new things.

"Doflamingo has resigned from the Shichibukai position, so I should be the only Shichibukai present. The World Government and the Navy will definitely send people, and then I can use them...

Hahaha, guys, sail at full speed! The super invincible and great Buggy's secret operation can be upgraded! "

"Oh!

"

......

Buggy's pirate ship began to sail at full speed, and at this time, many forces had already arrived near Dressrosa, including the Sunshine.

After passing a dangerous sea slope, the border of Dressrosa appeared in their sight.

The sea slope is also a special sea condition in the New World. Like a hillside, it is a very steep current and reefs make this place full of dangers. And here, Luffy and his friends met a very special person, an old man with a raccoon cat.

When the Sunny appeared nearby, it happened to see the boat the old man was riding on being hit by a reef. Following Luffy's principle of less trouble is worse than more trouble, he simply stretched out his arms and pulled the other person up.

"It's so dangerous, old man. Why did you come to a place like this alone?"

He has a head full of white hair, a tall and thin figure, and two braids hanging on his shoulders.

Wine red, blood red, purple red, different red clothes matched on him, even his eyebrows were a deep red. Looking at Luffy in front of him, the corners of the old man's mouth couldn't help but smile.

"You actually really want to help a completely unrelated person?"

"What are you talking about, old man? It's just a small favor. What's the problem?"

"No, my name is Lai De. I came here... because I think it's interesting. There are many interesting things on Dressrosa."

"Really? That's great. We want to go there too. You can come with us, old man. Is this raccoon cat your pet?"

"Pets? No, these are my family, right, Padong?"

"Uh-huh."

The raccoon-like creature on Lai De's shoulder nodded. No one on the boat thought there was anything wrong with this old man, but if there were a strong man from the old times, they would understand who the man in front of them was.

Rider is his real name, but his full name should be Baloric Riderfield. Decades ago, he was called Lone Red on the sea, a rare lone ranger.

He was born with a special ability to sense other people's inner thoughts and read their memories. Because of this ability, others have no secrets in front of him, which ultimately led to his introverted personality.

Radfield is also one of the jailbreaks from the sixth floor of Impel Down. After escaping from Impel Down, his body had aged, so he set his sights on the Bat Fruit, a mythical beast-type vampire form of the Devil Fruit.

In the process, he was no longer alone, but met Padun.

Originally, he was supposed to meet Luffy and his crew in Sleeping Town, but now the timeline has undergone tremendous changes. Although he did not meet Luffy, Radfield obtained the fruit earlier.

During his lonely journey, he met many interesting people, found his original faith, and started sailing again.

By this time, he had already faced up to his own body and did not use the fruit to restore his youth.

The reason he came here was because the Tremor-Tremor Fruit reminded him of Whitebeard. He wanted to recall the past and planned to take it away as a collection.

He didn't expect to encounter such a thing, and Luffy's innocent heart also made him feel interesting.

"You are...the Soul King?!"

"Youhohoho, were you recognized? Are you my fan?"

"Of course, I have been your fan for a long time."

Luffy’s journey as a pirate is closely related to Red Hair, while Luffy’s journey as a pirate is closely related to Brook.

When he was a child, he had seen the Rumbar Pirates resting on the shore.

The purpose of the Rumbar Pirates is to spread happiness, and that cheerful scene made Ridfield feel very comfortable. He chatted with Brook at the time and was infected by Brook's ideals.

After escaping from prison, he quickly recognized Brooke's identity, but at this time, Brooke did not recognize that Defield was the child who admired him at the beginning. He just thought that the name sounded familiar.

"Come to think of it, I met a man named Lai De a long time ago, but I don't know how he is doing now. That was many years ago..."

Law was very resistant to Luffy's behavior of inexplicably pulling strangers on board, especially after he accidentally made eye contact with Radfield, he actually felt a sense of fear.

Fortunately, they were very close to Dressrosa, and after landing, they prepared to take action separately.

"Hey? Where's old man Lai De? How come he disappeared as soon as we reached the shore?"

"I don't know. That old man was so agile that I didn't even notice how he disappeared. Padong was gone too, but since he's a fan of Brooke, he shouldn't be a bad guy."

Chopper looked around and made a judgment using strange logic. At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind Luffy.

"Luffy! Long time no see, kid!"

"Ace?! Why are you here too?"

"Of course it's for Daddy's fruit. Isn't that why you came here?"

"No, I reached an agreement with Terra Man to kill Doflamingo!"

Law, who hadn't left yet, slipped and nearly fell to the ground, as he watched Luffy tell him everything about their plan in less than a minute.

"Straw Hat Master! What did I tell you before?!

"

"It has to be kept secret, but he's my brother, so it shouldn't matter."

"you..."

Luo felt his heartbeat was speeding up, which, according to a doctor, was not a good sign.

Compared to the carefree Luffy, Ace bowed to him instead.

"My brother is so stupid and always causes trouble for others."

But the next moment, Ace's expression changed.

"But if you dare to lie to him, I will teach you an unforgettable lesson."

[Straw Hat Boy... doesn't seem like a good candidate for an alliance...]

Looking at Luffy who was happily communicating with Ace, forgetting his plan and saying that he wanted to help Ace get the Tremor-Tremor Fruit back, Law lost some of his confidence in the future. He could only follow the principle of out of sight, out of mind, and started his own action with Caesar.

Luffy's complicated relationships are also beneficial to him in a sense. As long as he can kill Doflamingo, nothing else matters.

The arrival of the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates is just a signal, the BIG MOM Pirates led by Katakuri, Radfield who just left quietly, Shiryu with a broken arm, the Hachiman Navy, and the fleets of other kingdoms.

The navy's warships, the world government's secret team, the revolutionary army's personnel, and this year's supernova.

Bounty hunters, mercenaries, fighting champions, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, more and more forces appeared here, and Yamato's Pokémon also appeared at the port shortly after.

Monsters from different forces, races, and eras were all attracted here.

At this point, the residents of Dressrosa still don't know what's going on, and they are trying to keep Doflamingo because of the abdication notice he issued at the same time.

In terms of face-saving, Doflamingo has also done a good job. The citizens who don't know the truth are more willing to believe the current king...

Chapter 1183: Are you guys doing team building here with me?

"Your Majesty! Please don't mention abdication anymore!"

"Lord Doflamingo! Is what the newspaper said true? It must be false!"

Outside the palace, countless citizens came to try to persuade Doflamingo to stay after seeing the news in the newspaper. To outsiders, Doflamingo seemed to be a truly wise king.

In fact, as a well-known joker in the underground world, Doflamingo has always paid great attention to the issue of character setting. Although he personally directed the bloody night in Dressrosa at that time, as the manipulator behind the scenes, no one knew that it was him who did it.

King Riku, who was controlled by the String-String Fruit, was the real murderer that night in the eyes of the people. Logically speaking, what Doflamingo did here was actually more excessive than what happened in Wano Country in the current timeline, but he had the powerful weapon, the Childlike Fun Fruit, in his hand.

A person who is turned into a toy by sugar will be forgotten by the world. No matter his parents, children, or spouse, they will remember his existence.

As a country in the New World, pirate attacks are an unavoidable problem. Doflamingo's identity as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea allows Dressrosa to avoid this risk.

Dressrosa's underground economy also indirectly boosted ordinary industries. In the eyes of ordinary people, they only saw the good side of Doflamingo and naturally admired this king very much.

The noise outside did not affect Doflamingo. He was arranging his plans inside and comforting his subordinates.

In the slightly dim room, four chairs with the symbols of clubs, diamonds, hearts and spades stand in parallel. These are the positions of the four top cadres of the Don Quixote family.

At this moment, Diamanti, who was sitting in the square position, seemed to have his hands trembling slightly.

"As soon as the arena opens, Dressrosa will become more grand than ever before."

Doflamingo's fingers danced in the air, as if he was controlling something, while also lamenting the situation in the arena.

The bullfighting arena can be considered a pillar industry of Dressrosa. The ticket fees generated by the economy are only a small profit, and the casinos that are spawned are the big money.

"Diamanti, are you still nervous? You need to stay calm. You are the king of the arena. You must have experienced this many times."

"This time it's different, Dover..."

Katakuri, Marco, Ace, and the people who had been discovered at the port made Diamante nervous.

Even though Doflamingo promised that Diamante would not encounter these monsters before the final, Diamante's emotions were still not relieved.

Fighting these monsters was too stressful for him.

Moreover, Doflamingo did this to create chaos in the sea and then gain greater profits.

Those who have some strength and talent in the Donquixote family are basically ability users, and the rest may not be able to unleash the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. If one fruit could give birth to a sea emperor with such combat power, the Four Emperors would not have collapsed directly after Whitebeard's death.

Strength, power, talent, and deterrence are all indispensable. Only by creating a terrifying enough reputation and adding a little help from public opinion can one successfully ascend to that position.

"Don't worry. According to reliable information, the eldest lady of the Beasts has already arrived. At worst, we can just let her take the fruit."

Simply giving the fruit to the Beasts will not bring anything more in return. Kaido is obsessed with animal-type ability users, and the Beasts have seen a surge in mythical beasts in recent years, causing a very strange situation on the sea.

It is said every day that the mythical beast species are rarer than the natural type fruits, but now the number of mythical beast species has exceeded that of ordinary animal type.

In order to pursue greater profits, Doflamingo made this extremely risky move. The only reason he dared to attract so many monsters was because of his cooperative relationship with Beasts.

As long as he has the support of the biggest monster, the small monsters will not be a concern.

This event was also a grand occasion in the New World. Except for Red Hair, all the well-known forces had a hand in the event, as they had no interest in it and took their top executives to attend the concert.

"Dover, the people from the Beasts have also landed, and I brought this thing for you."

Torrepol crawled in like a snail, his body covered with unknown mucus and holding a small box in his hand.

“Hiya, hiya, hiya. Very good, Diamante. I’ll give this fruit to you.”

"No, no, no, Dover, it's safer for you to hold it yourself."

"No, you are a genius in the arena, I believe you can do this."

Originally this was not an excuse. Diamante was a rather narcissistic type and loved this kind of compliment the most. But this time, he really didn't want to take on this hot potato. Who knew if there would be some madman who was going to directly snatch the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

If it was some hidden monster, he would be in big trouble.

But Doflamingo still had to deal with the threat from Law, and at the same time he had to prepare to deal with the navy and the World Government, so the fruit was finally given to Diamante.

In the past, Diamante would never have interfered with the affairs of the arena before the final battle, but this time, under Doflamingo's orders, he began to micro-manage meticulously and assigned the contestants to different rounds.

Originally, there were only five groups, but this time it was forced to become eight groups. The purpose was to separate the monsters and let them defeat as many players as possible.

......

"Anyone want to stay and watch the boat?"

While Doflamingo and Diamante were nervously preparing for the follow-up matters, the people on the Pokémon looked like they were on a sightseeing trip.

The Pokémon ship, which uses Plomb as its power core, is "alive" in itself. It can take care of itself even if no one is watching the ship. So what this sentence actually means is that if anyone is too lazy to travel and doesn't want to move, they can stay on the ship.

The final answer was no. Some of them had been to Dressrosa before, but they had never fully enjoyed it.

The fragrance of the sunflower fields, the aroma of special dishes, the hot dancers on the island, and the unique toy culture are the four major selling points of Dressrosa.

After asking Promromu to find a safe place by himself, Yamato and his group set foot on the island and soon met familiar faces.

"Halding? Why are you here? Where are the others?"

The more than ten-meter-tall giant was very eye-catching on the street, but Yamato did not see any other members of the New Giant Pirates.

“Ms. Guiji? There’s no one else, I’m the only one here this time.

Whitebeard's ability has been regenerated. If I can get that ability, I will definitely be able to unify the entire giant clan. Your target should also be that, right?"

"Ah, actually no... No, actually I came here for this, um, that's it."

Yamato's real purpose was to seek refuge, but the reason he gave to the outside world was to seize the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, not to go out for fun. When Robin coughed lightly, she remembered this and swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
