Pirate, Chief of Justice

Prince Riku was walking on the street when he suddenly felt someone following him. He stopped and looked back.

He saw a handsome man about three meters tall, smiling and nodding at him.

Out of courtesy, Riku also smiled and nodded to the man.

"Excuse me, what can I do with you following me?"

"If you need help, you can tell me."

Rotsmanti looked at Riku, who was still a young man and said.

"Hello, Prince Riku, my name is Rotsmanti, and I am a commodore of the Navy Headquarters."

"I want to meet you. I wonder if it's convenient for you?"

As a prince of a country, Riku would of course always pay attention to the situation in the sea.

After just a second of hesitation, he looked at Rotsmanti and said in surprise:

"Are you Rotsmanti, one of the rising stars of the Navy?"

"I heard that it was the nine-tailed fox Katarina you caught?"

After saying that, he took two quick steps, shook Rotsmanti's hand enthusiastically and said.

"I'm sorry to see you, Commodore of the Navy Headquarters."

"Come on, come on, please come to our palace."

Rotsmandy looked at Riku who suddenly became enthusiastic, a little confused.

Even if she was a Commodore of the Navy, she wouldn't be so enthusiastic about a prince of a country, right?

But Rotsmandy didn't ask, but followed Riku back to the palace.

As soon as Riku returned to the palace, he called the servants to prepare delicious food to entertain the distinguished guest.

Just then, a man wearing a crown came over and said to Riku with a smile...

"Riku, you're back? Who is this?"

Seeing the person coming, Riku happily pulled Rotsmandy to introduce him.

"Brother Mandy, this is my father, the current King of Dressrosa."

"Father, this is Commodore Rotsmandy, one of the rising stars of the Navy."

"He is the one who caught the nine-tailed fox Katarina."

King Rirosa of Dressrosa heard that the person in front of him was one of the rising stars of the Navy.

He smiled and nodded to Rotsmandy.

"Hello, Brigadier General Rotsmandy."

Rotsmandy returned the greeting to Lirosa and said:

"Hello, King of Dressrosa."

After the three of them exchanged pleasantries again, Rotsmandy, sitting on the chair, asked curiously:

"I heard that you and Prince Riku were very happy when they heard that Katarina was captured."

"Excuse me, has this nine-tailed fox Katarina been to Dressrosa before?"

Before Riku could wait for his father to speak, he answered first:

"You are right, Brother Mandy, this nine-tailed fox Katarina."

"Two years ago, she led the pirate group and invaded our Dressrosa."

"We Dressrosa paid It took a lot of casualties to repel this pirate group. "

"That nine-tailed fox has very strange abilities. As the fight went on, all our soldiers were controlled."

"If it weren't for the help of a swordsman passing by, we would have suffered even greater casualties."

"Although the nine-tailed fox was repelled, our elite soldiers in Dressrosa were almost wiped out."

"That's why the scene on the street just now happened. Those soldiers were just recruited in recent years."

"There are good and bad people. I patrol our country from time to time."

"It's to eliminate the scum among these soldiers."

Listening to Riku's explanation, Rotsmandy suddenly realized.

No wonder Prince Riku and his father looked hateful when they mentioned the nine-tailed fox Katarina.

This is a country that was almost destroyed by the nine-tailed fox.

Rotsmanti nodded and said to Riku: "No wonder you two hate the nine-tailed fox so much."

"Who is the swordsman who passed by?"

Riku looked at his father, and Lirosa nodded.

"The swordsman didn't tell us his name."

"The situation was very urgent at the time. The swordsman brought a child and wore a kimono."

"He looked like a person from Wano Country, but when we asked him if he was a samurai from Wano Country."

"The swordsman denied it, did not leave his name, helped us repel the nine-tailed fox, and left with his child."

"We are also looking for that swordsman."

Rotsmanti nodded after hearing it, and had a guess in his heart, and said to Riku with a smile.

"So that's how it is. I understand now."

At this moment, Riku asked curiously

"As a commodore of the navy, why did you come here?"

Rotsmandy thought for a moment and said:

"I have something important to ask for the help of the dwarfs."

"I saw in the navy's documents that the dwarfs had appeared in Dressrosa.""So I came here to try my luck."

Riku and his father looked at each other with an unknown meaning in their eyes.

Lilosa laughed and shook his head.

"You should be talking about the dwarf tribe, the Tontata tribe. They did appear, but according to the historical records of our country."

"More than 100 years ago, the dwarf tribe Tontata tribe was destroyed due to an earthquake."

"Even the island where they lived sank into the sea with the tsunami."

"I'm sorry to make you come here in vain."

Rotsmanti, after hearing this, didn't care and smiled slightly and said:

"I just came here to try my luck."

"If not, it doesn't matter."

The three were chatting, and a man dressed as a butler came in and saluted them.

"King, Prince Riku and Mr. Brigadier General, dinner is ready."

"You three can eat at any time."

Hearing this, Lilosa warmly invited Rotsmanti.

"Although I can't help you, I will definitely invite you to taste our Dressrosa's specialties."

Rotsmanty nodded and agreed with a smile.

"Okay, excuse me!"

At the dinner table, the three of them had a great time talking.

After dinner, Riku led Rotsmanty to the guest room of the palace.

"Mr. Mandy, please have a good rest in our palace."

Rotsmanty thanked with a smile. After seeing Prince Riku off, Rotsmanty washed up and lay on the bed.

Recalling that when I asked about the dwarf tribe today, Riku's face changed significantly.

I couldn't help but mutter to myself: "It seems that Riku, who is still a prince, does know where the Tontata tribe is."

"It's just that this prince doesn't seem to be willing to tell me."

"Is he afraid of getting into trouble?"

Thinking about these questions, Rotsmanty fell asleep.

And deep in the palace, the residence of the King of Dressrosa.

Riku and Rirosa sat together drinking tea.

Lirosa looked at his son and asked:

"The navy today was actually looking for traces of the Tontata tribe."

"Did the navy find anything?"

Riku shook his head after hearing this.

"I don't know, I just know that the navy guy seems to have something important to do and wants to find the dwarfs."

"But he didn't tell me what it was."

Lirosa said after hearing this: "We have an agreement with the dwarfs that we are never allowed to reveal their location."

"Tomorrow you will find a reason to send that navy away."

"The dwarfs live peacefully on the island, so don't involve them in the disputes in the sea."

Riku nodded and agreed after hearing this.

After Riku left, Lirosa looked at the starry sky in the distance and muttered to himself.

"Is he here to find the fruit... How did he know?"
