Chapter 016 How can you have money to buy doughnuts if you don't make some extra money
Located at the tip of the New World, Dressrosa is a land of passion with the title of "Land of Love, Passion and Goblins".
As early as 900 years ago, the royal family "Don Quixote" ruled this land, and 800 years ago, after a "blank 100 years", the Don Quixote family left the Kingdom of Dressrosa and joined the world government, becoming the "Celestial Dragons".
In this land, there lives a kind of "little people" who are small in size but far more powerful than ordinary humans.
When the Don Quixote family still ruled the land, the Lilliputians were the equivalent of serfs.
Through the day-to-day work of the Lilliputians imprisoned underground, the kingdom of Dressrosa was very wealthy.
But since the Don Quixote family left the land and left it to the "Liku family", the benevolent Liku royal family no longer imprisoned the Lilliputians, but chose to liberate the Lilliputian and apologize.
At the same time, the "Legend of the Fairies" was also made up, which made the people think that the strange creatures (Lillipurs) who usually steal things very quickly on the streets were a kind of goblins that could not be provoked, which brought a happy life to the Lilliputies.
It sounds like it should have been a good thing.
Ironically, because of the lack of the Lilliputians working day and night, the originally rich Dressrosa became impoverished.
"Kindness is not in charge of soldiers, and kindness is not for officials... No, it doesn't seem to be that far..."
"Without Lilliputians they become poor? It seems that this new Riku royal family doesn't know how to govern the country at all..."
This was Hailan's casual assessment when he was looking through the history of Dressrosa in the archives of the Navy Headquarters a few years ago.
If it weren't for his special status, ordinary soldiers would never have access to this information.
Looking at Dressrosa, who was approaching, Hailan's mind was filled with the information she had read many years ago.
Because there is a system that can strengthen Hailan's "computing" ability, that is, develop his brain.
Although it has not yet reached the level of ten lines at a glance and unforgettable, these information that was originally memorized by Hailan will not be forgotten by Hailan with the loss of time.
The current Hailan is almost a personal database.
Of course, only to the information he had flipped through.
Different from the pirates who are scattered with soldiers, the navy warships are not only well-equipped and have a clear division of labor, but also can prepare a lot of necessary materials for navigation in advance.
It didn't take much effort for Karp and Crane's warship to arrive at Dressrosa, a member of the World Government.
When the warship docked, Karp took the initiative to ask: "Xiaohe, if you have any work, you can do it boldly and boldly, and your ship can be handed over to my people to take care of." ”
Crane crossed his arms and looked at Karp, "So you're here for tourism?" ”
"No, no, of course not, Xiaohe, don't look at me with such eyes!"
Karp hurriedly explained, "I said I was here to teach the pirates a lesson, but it's inconvenient to bring all the soldiers over, so it's better to leave them all here to show you the ship!" ”
"If you need to, they can go on missions with you!"
Although Karp is often unreliable, it is true that he never lied to Sengoku and Tsuru.
Lieutenant General Tsuru snorted and said worriedly, "As long as you don't cause any trouble for me and sabotage my operation." ”
Meanwhile, in a fancy hotel in Dressrosa, a man in a black suit, white trousers, a red tie, and red sunglasses is looking out of the window.
"Dressrosa... How could this waste king be run like this? ”
Don Quixote Doflamingo, a descendant of the Don Quixote family, had obvious displeasure on his face.
I don't know if it's really resentment for the impoverished Dressrosa, or resentment for the fact that Dressrosa's king today is not his Doflamingo.
He is no longer a Draco, because his stupid father voluntarily gave up his identity as a Draco in order to pursue the so-called "equality of all".
Doflamingo had tried to regain his identity as a Draconian, but was rejected by the men of Mary Joy in the Holy Land without hesitation.
So Doflamingo retreated, setting his sights on a country that would have belonged to their Don Quixote eight hundred years ago.
Vice Admiral Tsuru was sent on a mission to the New World because the Navy noticed a new group of pirates led by Doflamingo.
Tsuru is here to investigate the true identity of this Don Quixote family.
If there is any connection to the Don Quixote royal family of Mary Joy, then this problem is difficult to solve.
Hailan and Karp had no idea about it.
The two of them, who have changed into civilian clothes, are preparing to deal with another group of pirates, the Eight Treasure Water Army.
Looking at the magnificent and magnificent building in front of him, like the Colosseum in ancient Rome, Hai Lan seemed to understand: "What are you bringing me here for?" Do you want me to fight in the ring? ”
"That's right."
"Does this have anything to do with teaching pirates a lesson?"
"Of course it does."
"What's the relationship?"
Karp smiled and said, "If you don't fight in the ring, how can you have the money to buy donuts, and if you don't eat donuts, how can you have the strength to deal with pirates?" ”
Hailan couldn't cry or laugh: "Seriously! ”
"Okay, I'll be serious with you."
Karp gave a rare serious expression.
"Originally, according to the intelligence, the Eight Treasure Water Army should have landed in Dressrosa in the past two days, but after all, the time is not very accurate, and it is understandable that there are errors."
"To tell the truth, the ancestral Eight Chong Fist of the Eight Treasure Water Army is really powerful, in order to defeat the pirate Qingjiao before, in order to cultivate, I smashed eight mountains in a row and finally frustrated his sharpness, you know this."
"So since they haven't come yet, we can't wait, so why don't you take this opportunity to fight in the ring, learn from all kinds of masters, or cultivate your actual combat experience, and I can also give you guidance."
Hailan nodded, the reason is quite easy to understand.
"It sounds like that, but... What happened when you unpacked the ship's medical kits? Have you already decided that I would get injured during the game? ”
Karp patted his chest and promised, "Poofhahaha... Don't worry, with the old man here, you will never be injured, if there is the kind of player you can't deal with, the old man will shoot in time! ”
Hai Lan changed her mind and showed a disdainful gaze: "Then you won't steal these things to sell them for money, right?" ”
Karp coughed dryly: "This is originally something from my ship, take out my own things and sell them, can this be called stealing?" ”
Hai Lan was shocked, his family's rigid father didn't understand these things: "Aren't you afraid of being discovered?" ”
"That's impossible!"
"But what if?"
"Then let's apologize later!"
Seeing Karp's broken jar and even a slightly excited expression, Hailan accepted the reality on the spot: "No, in addition to the prize money from the competition, you also share a part of the money from selling things!" ”
