Chapter 759
What Reputation Do I Have?!
Dressrosa.
Today, this country still bears the title of [The Country of Love and Toy and Passion]. There are no obvious changes in its buildings, and there are live toys walking on the streets. There are also toys made by machines in the shops for tourists to choose from.
It was still the same country. Nothing seemed to have changed.
If there were any changes, it would be the residents of this country. In addition to some joy, there was also some sadness and fatigue.
There were not as many men in Dressrosa as before, and the streets were faintly bleak.
After King David became the new king, this place became like this. The men were drafted into the army and became soldiers, and then the conquest began!
The reason why there are fewer men is that many men have run out to fight, and it is a third-line war!
On the balcony of the high-rise building in the center of the palace, David, who was wearing a king’s uniform, held the balcony and looked down with no sadness or joy in his eyes.
“My dear…”
In the rear, Viola slowly walked over and said, “Bosch and Dobie have surrendered and are now incorporated into our sphere of influence.”
“Very good.”
David nodded and said lightly, “Take in the surrendered people and continue to treat them as soldiers and continue to conquer them.”
“David…”
Viola wanted to say something, but in the end, she said, “We don’t have enough supplies. In addition, our war in the Kingdom of Raya is in a stalemate.”
“Not enough supplies? Aren’t there still a lot of toys? The things they produce are not enough for the soldiers?” David frowned.
Sugar was recruited by David.
Although Kuro caught her, before they set off, David called the World Government and saved Sugar.
It was mainly due to Saint Charles. At that time, when he was in charge of negotiating, he did not know where the news came from. David heard that his master had a good reputation on the side of tenryubito and the World Government and tried to say that he was his master’s good friend. With this relationship, he picked Sugar.
After all, Sugar has no bounty. Although her ability is very powerful, in front of the World Government, they will not care about this strange ability.
And with Sugar, David could quickly conquer island after island and country, taking down those who were stubborn and turning them into toys, making them disappear from the memory of the world.
Although this made Kyros and Rebecca uncomfortable, David did not care. What he cared about was his master’s long-cherished wish.
Sugar’s ability is indeed very useful. Those toys relieve the tight productivity brought by the war in the country and keep Dressrosa from falling into the swamp of weapon production shortage.
“No, our soldiers are already tired from fighting in the third line. Although we can supply ordinary supplies, we don’t have money…”
Viola pursed her lips and said, “Raya Kingdom has held back too many of our forces. If we can’t shrink now, we will be dragged to death.”
Dressrosa had a winning streak. In addition to Sugar’s ability, David was also guaranteeing the environment of the surrendered countries. He would not use people as slaves like Doflamingo. Conquered countries were treated no differently from Dressrosa. They were all his citizens.
But because of this, he did not have much money.
His conquest also has a purpose. It is impossible for him to start with rich countries from the beginning and attack small islands. This way, they can quickly integrate into Dressrosa and become a part of this country.
David knew that Dressrosa alone would not be able to hold on if this went on, so in this battle, of the three countries he started, Bojosi and Dobie were small poor countries, and the Kingdom of Raya was a rich country, but he did not expect it to fall into a quagmire immediately.
Dressrosa has accumulated enough foundation in Doflamingo, but the successive wars have made the foundation not enough.
“Raya Kingdom…”
David frowned and took out the map he carried with him. It was a global sea map from Dressrosa to the G-3 Marine Branch jurisdiction sea area. The islands in the sea map were all represented by small dots, most of which were painted green. There were three small dots on the sea map, which completely connected the G-3 jurisdiction sea area.
He took out a pen and tapped twice on the sea map. Two of the three dots were painted by the color of the pen, and the last one happened to be in the sea under the jurisdiction of G-3.
And the last target, the Kingdom of Raya.
“The final map.”
David said in a low voice, “Although the Kingdom of Raya is rich, there shouldn’t be many people. Why did it fall into a quagmire? Forget it, I will go out personally. The World Conference is about to begin. At that time, I need to lay the groundwork for Dressrosa.”
The territory that he ate before the World Conference will be difficult to spit out after the World Conference.
But if it is after the World Conference, then he will have to wait another four years for the reaction period. There are too many variables.
“For Master’s ideals…”
David looked up at the sky and clenched his fists. “I will definitely not delay!”
… .
Some time later, G-3 branch.
The Golden Lion had long arrived at G-3, and Kizaru returned to the branch on a warship after staying for a few days.
And the branch is now completely quiet.
“Finally sent away, those pirates who are a threat to me have been dealt with, and the power near G-3 has been released. Finally, no one can think about me.”
In the office, Kuro heaved a sigh of relief. The recent events had annoyed him, and now he was finally free.
He lit a cigar and leaned back in his chair in satisfaction. He said to Leda, who was sitting on the sofa and eating snacks, “Let’s get the radium to make a good meal to celebrate.”
“Oh.” Leda nodded obediently.
“Let the subordinates come, I’m in a good mood. By the way, where are Kaz and Wilbur? I didn’t see them when I came back earlier.” Kuro asked.
Logically speaking, if they were here, these two people would have welcomed him when he returned earlier. He did not see them at that time.
And after so long, he still did not see it.
The patrol time was a little longer.
But nothing happened, because if something happened, they would report it.
“I don’t know… Aren’t they here?” Leda was stunned.
“It’s useless to ask you.”
Kuro rolled his eyes and shouted, “Chloe, Chloe!!”
After a while, the door was quickly opened. Crowe took a few breaths, pushed up his glasses, and said, “Mr. Kuro, you wanted to see me?”
It seems that he ran over after hearing the summons.
“What about Kaz and Wilbur?”
“I think he went to Raya to deal with something.”
“Raya Kingdom?”
Kuro muttered, “What does our Marine have to do with any kingdom?”
“Mr. Kuro, the Kingdom of Raya is on the border of our G-3 jurisdiction and is under our jurisdiction,” answered Crowe.
“That’s also a coastal area. We can’t control the internal affairs of the kingdom. Are there pirates nearby?” Kuro asked.
“No, I heard that there is an enemy invasion and the king of Raya can’t hold on anymore, so he came here. Kaz and Wilbur decided to take a look and confirm the identity of the enemy.”
“African Union?”
Kuro rubbed his chin. “This kind of thing, if the higher-ups don’t give orders, they shouldn’t care.”
“Yes, that’s what I thought when I got the news. All of them are connected to Cass, but he said he must go and take a look. After all, it’s under his jurisdiction and he doesn’t want to ruin your reputation.” Crowe pushed up his glasses and said.
“What reputation do I have?! Tell him to come back! Don’t meddle in other people’s business!” Kuro rolled his eyes and thought for a while, “Forget it, let him find out what it is before coming back.”
