Chapter 23: Chapter 23: The "Evil" of a King
Looking at Wapol, who had completely lost his vital signs on the ground.
The guards and the distant citizens were stunned for a moment, and then erupted into earth-shattering cheers:
"Wapol is dead!"
"Our demon is over!!"
Dillon walked towards the guard team: "Where's Dalton? Where is he being held?"
The leading guard swallowed his saliva. That woman seemed to be just his subordinate…
"In prison…"
"Take me there." Dillon looked around. This country… in a few years, it would be attacked by Teach again.
Dalton…
Dillon shook his head. Dalton wasn't actually a very good choice either. That guy was too kind.
Whether as a warrior or a king, kindness wasn't an excellent quality.
After all, this was the Great Pirate Era, and this was the Grand Line.
Arriving at the dark prison, Dalton was imprisoned on the bottom floor.
"Let him out."
"Yes!"
Faced with this man's order, the guards didn't dare to hesitate at all. Besides, Dalton himself was innocent and deeply loved by them.
The burly Dalton looked at the man outside the prison strangely.
"You are..."
"Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is, who are you? And who do you want to become?"
"Hmm?"
Dalton was a bit confused for a moment.
Not only kind, but also a bit slow, Dillon shook his head again inwardly.
"Captain Dalton, the king... No! Wapol has already been executed."
Dalton looked at Dillon with a solemn expression. Although he was imprisoned here, he still believed in the rule of this country.
After following Dillon out of the prison gate, Dalton finally couldn't help but ask, "You…"
"I'm not interested in this kind of broken country. To be honest, I could completely kill Wapol and leave. I've also spoken to the World Government, and this has no effect on me. I found you because you're barely someone I know in this country."
Wind and snow howled outside the door. Two tall men stood facing the wind and snow.
"Dalton, do you know what the future of this country will be like if I just leave?"
"I don't know." Dalton answered after thinking for a moment.
"No, you know."
Dillon looked at the flying snow in the sky: "If I leave directly, then the fate of this country will rightfully fall into the hands of the Celestial Dragons."
"You people…" Dillon shook his head: "Always begging for the mercy and grace of others. To be honest, I don't like it."
These words were already approaching the sensitive point, and Dalton remained silent and did not answer.
"Compared to Wapol, you're not much stronger either."
Dalton was a little surprised, not understanding why this man would say that.
Dillon chuckled: "Wapol's evil lies in his greed, his corruption, and his depravity. Your evil lies in your incompetence and hypocrisy."
The words "hypocrisy" impacted Dalton's heart like a hammer.
"As a citizen, kindness is a noble quality, but not for a king! Both are fatal. "
"Work hard, Dalton. I know the people here love you, so I'll give you a chance. I hope you can seize it." Dillon patted the snowflakes off his shoulder and walked forward.
"If you can't become stronger, face crises with your own strength, and can't muster the strength to fight against enemies, then this country... Is really hopeless."
Dalton - former Captain of the Drum Kingdom Guard, Ushi Ushi no Mi: Bison Model user.
With the people's support and the World Government's tacit consent, he successfully became the King of Drum Kingdom, and renamed the country - Sakura Kingdom.
"Sakura?"
Innocent and foolish name.
…
Mary Geoise.
The CP0 member left after reporting the situation in Drum Kingdom.
The Five Elders still maintained their mysterious poses.
"Drum Kingdom... No... It's now called Sakura Kingdom. Adams Dillon... Taking action on the regime?"
"It seems that Wapol provoked him first. His original purpose was to go to Drum Island to treat his subordinates."
"Even so... But as a Naval Force..."
The blonde Five Elders crossed his fingers and crossed his legs: "He has obtained the power of the Dwarves, which shows that Lord Imu's guidance is correct. He is the enemy of the 'Lamp'. The power of a mere kingdom is not worth considering."
"Not bad."
The Five Elders holding the long sword agreed: "For hundreds of years, those ancient families and races have refused to submit to the World Government. Some guys even prefer to isolate themselves from the world to wait for the return of the 'Ember'. Adams Dillon has achieved unprecedented achievements, and we shouldn't hinder him at this time."
"I agree."
"I agree."
…
G-5 Branch, half a year after returning from Drum Island.
"Tch, that 'Heavenly Yaksha' guy, has he complained to headquarters about us again?" Bellemere said with a cigarette in her mouth, throwing the Den Den Mushi aside.
"That guy is doing underground business. I heard that his business is very wide, including arms, Devil Fruits, human trafficking, and he will even send executives directly to participate in the struggle for power."
Dillon had a newspaper covering his face and didn't pay attention to his subordinates' chattering.
I don't know why these guys all like to chat in his office.
Didn't I arrange an office for you?
During these six months, G-5 gradually began to "hunt."
Although limited to the vicinity of the branch, it had a huge impact on the surrounding pirates.
That man was the guy who single-handedly defeated the "Red Hair Pirates" - Naval Force Vice Admiral "Shadow Dragon" Dillon.
And under his command was a killing machine like a demon - "Rain" Shiryu.
After a period of "hunting," many pirates no longer chose this route.
"JOKER's" business also suffered a serious impact.
After all… it's okay to encounter that pink-haired woman. At most, they would be offline for a while.
If they encountered Shiryu, they would have their accounts directly deleted.
During the "hunting," it wasn't that no one had thought about concentrating their fire to kill Bellemere.
But when they thought of the "Red Hair Pirates," most people chose to run away.
He only took a few hours to rush from the "New World" to the West Blue, and then almost broke up the Red Hair Pirates' ship. The third-in-command was also killed in front of them.
Listening to his subordinates babbling about how boring things were recently, Dillon uncovered the newspaper on his face.
"Go to West Blue!"
After returning to the G-5 Branch half a year ago, Dillon took the time to return to the East Blue and took out all the stolen money he had accumulated over the years.
It has to be said that having a Space Ring is good.
Inside the huge castle, his collections were neatly arranged.
At the highest point were the two Devil Fruits that had not yet selected their owners.
And this time, the purpose of going to the Flower Country was to clear out the "Happo Navy." By the way, see what exactly was in the "Great Glacier", and why that Red Hair guy violated his consistent style and directly attacked the Naval Force.
And… The treasure in Ice Continent!
It's reasonable for me as Naval Force to confiscate the pirates' stolen money, right?
"Tom! Watch the house, protect Mansherry."
"Leave it to Superrrr! me," Tom laughed.
Dillon was still very confident in Tom's strength.
At this stage, except for the Sea Emperors… The three Emperors and their vice captains, few people should be able to directly defeat Tom.
Of course, this does not exclude those hidden bastards, such as Shiki.
"Vice Admiral… We can't fly. From here to the Flower Country…"
Everyone looked strange. Although the G-5's ship was standard for Naval Force, it probably wouldn't arrive in the Flower Country in two or three months from the "New World".
A ship…
Dillon touched his chin, looking at Tom who was teasing Sherryman in the base.
The "World's Number One Shipwright" was under his command. It was a pity that there were no good materials now.
Damn it, Roger, where did you get so much Adam Wood?
Should I let CP0 get him some, or Doflamingo? Big Mom?
Hmm… Wait until he gets the Baku Baku no Mi.
Regarding his own mount, Dillon had already made a plan, and he was not in a hurry at this time. After all, there were still a few years before the "Summit War" broke out.
