Pirate: Role-Playing System

Chapter 115: King Rikku: I've Decided to Submit (Third Update, Please Subscribe!)

Before King Rikku could react, Shiryu and the others released their killing intent towards Doflamingo.

Initially, members of the Donquixote Family, such as Trebol, hesitated and deliberated, but ultimately chose to stand with Doflamingo.

Both sides were at a standoff.

However, Doflamingo secretly sighed in his heart, "That person named Gilgamesh has an incredibly strong charisma!"

"After only a short time of contact, my subordinates still hesitated. The crew should stand with me..."

Doflamingo himself possessed a formidable charisma. Even in his childhood, Trebol and the others willingly joined him, obeying his commands and following his orders.

He even brought Devil Fruit, the String-String Fruit, to Doflamingo.

Although Trebol and the others had their own ulterior motives, it was primarily Doflamingo's strong charisma that led them.

But now...

After decades of friendship, they still hesitated compared to Gilgamesh, who had only appeared a few months ago?

This was because Doflamingo often made excuses to keep them away from Gilgamesh, not allowing them to have too much contact with him.

Otherwise...

The same went for the powerful individuals.

Gilgamesh rarely killed civilians and even restrained others from causing trouble. On the other hand, Doflamingo took advantage of every opportunity, treating everyone to food and drink. However, when it came to crucial moments, the other party released their killing intent without hesitation...

Doflamingo sighed lightly in his heart, but seemed unaware of the killing intent behind him. He said to King Rikku, "If you refuse, Dressrosa will be stained with blood."

"But I am not a devil, so I offer a bid of 10 billion to sell this country to you."

"Of course, if you don't bid... this country will naturally belong to me, and then, it will be given to my king."

At the end, Doflamingo turned the conversation around.

Upon hearing those words, the killing intent from Shiryu and the others finally dissipated, and even Trebol and the others breathed a sigh of relief—they didn't want to fight Gilgamesh.

Seeing their expressions, Doflamingo felt even more angry internally, but his outward appearance remained unchanged.

Seeking Dressrosa was a plan he had set long ago.

King Rikku's governance in Dressrosa was excellent, at least among many kings, he was considered the best.

Such a person would have a considerable amount of resistance even if forcibly taken by power, which would affect Doflamingo's control over the country.

So his original plan was to force King Rikku to offer 10 billion and buy this country.

However, King Rikku definitely didn't have 10 billion, so he had to raise money from the people.

At the same time, compromising with the pirates was a very embarrassing act for the royal family. As long as he threatened a little, King Rikku would definitely keep it a secret.

With his reputation over the years, he could easily borrow money from the people.

Then, once Doflamingo obtained the money... naturally, he would control King Rikku and make him slaughter the people, causing them to lose trust overnight.

Using the name of the Donquixote Family and his formidable power, he could easily seize the throne.

Although he had already been stripped of the title of Celestial Dragons, borrowing this name wouldn't elicit a strong reaction from the World Government.

This plan was indeed successful.

In the future, the residents of Dressrosa trusted Doflamingo and his group, and all the resentment was borne by the Riku family. The country's economy developed rapidly, although it was built on the exploitation of the dwarves and the people turned into toys...

However, now he has become a subordinate of Gilgamesh, so naturally he cannot become the ruler of Dressrosa.

But as long as Gilgamesh agrees to his words here, when facing the World Government, he will need him as a shield, so...

He still has a chance to become the king of Dressrosa!

However, at this moment...

"Boring." Gilgamesh's face remained calm as he disdainfully spoke, "Doflamingo, I didn't expect you to be such a boring person."

...Please give me flowers...0

Anger flashed across Doflamingo's face, but he quickly suppressed it.

He had already told Gilgamesh about his plan, of course it wasn't approved.

And when he had just made a move that seemed like a betrayal...

This arrogant man didn't even change his expression!

"Borrow money? Plan?"

"Why play these tricks?"

Gilgamesh took a step forward and calmly looked at King Riku, "Would you dare to talk to me?"

"Although you are just a false king, you are still a man called a king."

King Riku's face and expression changed, and in the end, he nodded heavily.

"Good!"

King Riku and Gilgamesh calmly walked into the palace's hall and asked everyone to leave.

Shiryu and the others were not worried at all that something unexpected would happen to Gilgamesh, so they had an indifferent look on their faces.

It was Doflamingo who furrowed his brows.

"What does he want to do? Why does he want to have a private conversation with King Riku? Why wasn't my plan approved?"

"What... does he want to do?"

Doflamingo looked at the closed palace gate and couldn't help but worry.

Among Gilgamesh's group, he was actually nothing.

There were at least three people who were on par with him in terms of strength, and he still hadn't seen Gilgamesh's limits.

The only difference was that he had the title of a Seven Warlords of the Sea and could interact with the government.

The government had also had some dealings with him in secret, but in terms of power...

He was far behind!

Doflamingo couldn't help but sink into deep thought, pondering Gilgamesh's intentions.

Even during this time, when Luffy rushed back from the wilderness and fought with Shiryu, he didn't pay attention.

After a while, the palace door suddenly opened wide.

Gilgamesh walked in front, and King Riku slowly followed.

Then, he took a deep breath, and the first thing he said was...

"I have decided to submit to Gilgamesh and hand over Dressrosa to him!"
