Chapter 017: The King of Darkness in the Fairy Tale World
"A share of you?"
Karp thought about it, after all, it was Hailan who was mainly responsible for the fight in this matter, so let's divide his points.
"Okay, when the time comes, I'll make money, I'll be six and you'll be four."
Hailan was not convinced: "Why are you six and I four?" No, it should be me seven and you three! ”
Karp quit: "You little guy is too greedy, aren't you?" These are all trauma medicines from my ship, and they don't belong to yours. ”
Hailan argued: "But can you make this money without me?" A dignified naval hero can't just roll up his sleeves and go to the ring, right? ”
"Even if you are shameless, the king of this country will definitely sue the headquarters with a complaint, and when you return to the headquarters, you will wait for Uncle Warring States to clean you up."
Karp thought to himself that this was indeed the case, so he chose to compromise: "Okay, then do as you say." ”
But soon Karp changed his words: "But after you win the championship, the prize money must also score 30% of my money!" ”
"Why?"
Karp smiled: "That's my salary as a bodyguard!" ”
Well, Hailan really couldn't find any reason to bargain with Karp this time.
This time, even if he hits the ground crookedly, he will take advantage of it.
An old man and a young man haggled on the street, which was not yet conspicuous.
It's Karp's dress that is really eye-catching.
They were all grandfathers, and the old man was walking down the street in big pants, flip-flops, and a yellow floral shirt.
He doesn't look like a serious person.
No, Cyrus, the commander of the King's Army in Dressrosa, couldn't help but look at these two people a few more times.
At first, he thought it was a quarrel between parents and children in the street, and he wanted to go over and persuade him.
One of the island's distinctive cultures, Dressrosa hosts bullfighting competitions almost every day.
The so-called bullfighting is not really a show similar to Spanish bullfighting, but two people are sent to the arena together and they are fought like two bulls.
Usually the scale of the tournament is not large, and large-scale tournaments are only held when there are special circumstances.
There are also no specific requirements for the identity of the contestants.
Whether it is an outsider, a local sword fighter or a prisoner, you can participate in the competition.
It's just that the prisoners don't get a reward even if they win the game, and their mission is only to fight endlessly.
But if you are lucky enough to win the king's appreciation with your superb skills, you may be able to pardon your past crimes and join the king's army.
The current commander of the Dressrosa army, Cyrus, was a fierce murderer in his youth, and later won 1,000 consecutive victories in the arena with his great strength, winning the recognition of the audience and finding the meaning of his life.
Later, Cyrus, who was obsessed with competition, miraculously won 3,000 consecutive matches and became a legend in the bullfighting arena.
At this time, Cyrus, who had been redeemed in his heart, was invited by King Riku to become the captain of the king's army and began to protect the people of the country.
... Two days later, Hailan, who easily defeated the rest of the arena, became a rising star in the bullfighting arena with momentum.
Hai Lan, who is proficient in the Navy Six, is so amazing in the arena that he almost accomplishes the feat of "killing other players in seconds".
No one knows where this Hailan came from, and no one cares where he came from.
But there is a rumor circulating in everyone that this Hailan is the player with the most potential to break Cyrus' 3,000-game winning streak.
Hailan didn't care.
Maybe it's because the era of pirates has only started for a few years, and the new forces of pirates from all walks of life have not yet been able to grow.
In this arena in the New World, although Hai Lan has seen a lot of strange moves, it is a pity that the so-called actual combat experience has not been exercised much.
And Whitebeard, Hundred Beasts, and the BIGMOM Pirates are fighting back and forth in the second half of New World, and their people basically don't come here to participate in any competition.
In a word, the opponents in the arena are too weak.
But at the same time, as Hailan became famous, various forces were secretly eager to try.
In a high-end hotel.
The first red heart of the Don Quixote family, Virgo, who always had a piece of something glued to his face, walked in front of Doflamingo:
"Dover, I've noticed that there are some sneaky women on the island, they seem to be investigating something, I suspect they are soldiers sent by the Navy."
Doflamingo smiled disdainfully, completely ignoring the so-called navy: "What a bunch of guys who don't know whether to live or die, I have to find a chance to teach them a good lesson." ”
"These navy are really crazy, they dare to send some women to trouble me, are all the men in the navy dead? The current Navy is really degenerate, no wonder Mary Joya's gang of bastards look down on them more and more! ”
"Virgo, find an opportunity to lure them to the isolated island in the north, it seems that if you don't hurt these navies, they don't know what it means to be afraid, I want to let these women have no return!"
"Diamanti, I'll leave the city to you, do you see the big arena in the distance? From now on, that's where you're responsible. ”
"Pika, go and familiarize yourself with the direction of the streets and the terrain near the palace."
"Torrepol... You just go and train Monet's little girl for me, I have an important task to give her! ”
After completing the task, Doflamingo looked at the King's Heights in the distance: "One day, I will personally retrieve everything that should have belonged to me!" ”
In the royal palace of Dressrosa, the royal family of Riku is unaware of the hidden Don Quixote family in the country.
King Riku, who is kind and loves his people, is easily accompanying his two daughters.
The eldest daughter's name is Scarlet, she has long red hair, and she is gentle and amiable.
The second daughter's name is Violet, and she has black hair that is different from her sister's, but has the same ruby pupils as her sister.
"Father, why didn't Cyrus come to the palace today?"
"Oh~ my sister is in love!"
The ghostly Violet mercilessly exposes her sister's careful thoughts.
Princess Dressrosa disguised: "Just... I didn't, but I didn't see the army commander for a day, so I was a little curious. ”
King Liku just smiled at this, how could he not know about his daughter's little thoughts?
Scarlet didn't have any affection for Cyrus, but since she was kidnapped by pirates and rescued by Cyrus, she fell in love with the grassroots army captain.
What a romantic and beautiful love story.
If Cyrus's life is placed in a fairy tale world, it is completely a template for the protagonist.
Now Dressrosa is really as harmonious and beautiful as a kingdom in a fairy tale, although everyone is poor, everyone is happy.
But this is a whole world, and Dressrosa is not the only one on the planet.
The king hidden in the darkness has already quietly set his eyes on this simple land.
