The fruit of the book of pirates

Chapter 53 Conditions that cannot be refused

After thinking about this, Mousse was completely relieved, and was sincerely happy for Charlotte Owen, "I really want to congratulate you now, brother Owen, even if the original goal of this trip is not achieved, our trip You didn’t go in vain! Even if it’s Katakuri-san now, his attack power may not be comparable to yours, right?”

Having said that, it is naturally better to be able to achieve the goal.

Therefore, Mousse, who was inspired by Charlotte Owen's "Atami Hot Spring" decisively suggested changing the plan to go directly to the destination, and first visit the Kingdom of Dressrosa, which is already close at hand.
Although the Kingdom of Dressrosa has been at peace for 800 years, after all, it is located in a new world where wars are frequent, and it has never dared to "put swords and guns into storage, and horses into Nanshan." This can be understood by looking at its domestic arena.

Because of such brave folk customs, although the Dressrosa Kingdom has a population of less than 10 and a mere [-] regular troops, its defense strength is not weak.

In addition, the Liku royal family has been committed to good-neighborliness and friendship for 800 years, and is the oldest member of the world government. They can ask neighboring countries and the navy for help in case of trouble, so they are generally not afraid of pirates.

But the BIG MOM pirate group is not an ordinary pirate group. Even if the country's military and civilians are given a hundred courage, they will never dare to stop the "Queen Mother Anthem" from entering the port, let alone launch an attack on it. up.

The officials in charge of the wharf could only bite the bullet and squeeze out a smile to lead people to approach them. At the same time, they asked people to call King Likudold III for instructions.
King Liku was shocked when he learned that the "Queen Mother Anthem" had entered the port. He knew very well that with the strength of the BIG MOM pirate group, even if the neighboring countries tried their best to rescue them, they would just follow them to death.

Because even if several countries in this area are added up, their military strength may not be comparable to that of Fallows, who was just destroyed.
As for the navy, King Liku didn't dare to have too high expectations. He knew very well that the current focus of the navy's work was on arresting Roger and his henchmen. Rescue a few small countries in the New World.

What's more, even if the navy really sends admiral Sengoku, or even the powerful naval hero Garp, Dressrosa, a small country, will have no good end.

After all, with such a small territory, how could it stand up to the full firepower of two top powerhouses in the world?
Especially Charlotte Lingling can also manipulate the weather, she is simply a humanoid disaster!
Since he didn't have time to think about countermeasures at all, King Liku lost his position in panic.

It wasn't until Owen and the others were invited by him to enter the palace that he realized that it was inappropriate for him, as the king of a member country of the world government, to openly contact BIG MOM, who was already in trouble with the world government.

It's just that everyone has already been invited in at this time, and they can't be driven out anymore. Liku Dolde III can only squeeze out a smile with difficulty and go down the steps to greet him.

It will be a matter for the world government to blame in the future. If these wicked people in front of them are angered, the Kingdom of Dressrosa will be destroyed immediately!

However, after learning that there was neither Charlotte Lingling herself nor Charlotte Katakuri, the "chief culprit who slaughtered the Pharos Kingdom", the heart that King Riku held was immediately let go up.

In addition, the request made by the other party is really too much, just writing a letter is not enough, and he is actually asked to go there in person, isn't it true that he is in contact with pirates?
So King Liku gritted his teeth and decided to refuse, but before he could say anything, the harmless red-haired kid behind Charlotte Owen spoke first
"Your Majesty, don't rush to refuse, we will pay enough compensation to that Majesty Elizabello, and as long as you are willing to come forward to facilitate this matter, we can help your country restore the relationship between Dressrosa Island and Greenbit Island As a reward.", King Liku was a little displeased at the beginning, for a kid who is only a few years old to intervene on such an important occasion, isn't he too uneducated?

Charlotte Owen listened with a smile and didn't stop it. Did he not take the Kingdom of Dressrosa seriously at all?

But the humiliation in King Liku's heart had just emerged, and the second half of Mousse's words were like a thunderbolt, making him lose his composure and take several steps forward!

The land of Dressrosa is small, and since the Liku royal family no longer used the Dongtata small people out of guilt and wasted their cultivation talents 800 years ago, the advantages of advanced agricultural technology have gradually been lost.

As the population grew, it became increasingly difficult for this small country to be self-sufficient in food.

However, the country does not have any competitive commodity exports. The long-term trade deficit has caused domestic wealth to flow out continuously, and the decline in national living standards has caused widespread dissatisfaction.

Fortunately, the ancestors of the Liku royal family thought of using their long history and culture and unique customs to develop tourism, so that the country's economy can recover and develop, and life is finally better.

It's a pity that not long after, a group of fighting fish migrated to this sea area, and then such a good day is gone forever.
With the bettas infested, boats entering and exiting Dressrosa are at great risk, and tourism, of course, has languished.

The cost of import and export has naturally increased significantly, and the Kingdom of Dressrosa has become increasingly impoverished. In recent years, it has even been dubbed the "Dwarf Kingdom" due to the general malnutrition affecting the development of its citizens since childhood.

No matter how diligent the Liku royal family is in governing and caring for the people, as long as this catastrophe cannot be resolved, the situation of the country will not improve.
When he first came to the throne, Liku Dolde III, who was still young and energetic, once organized the domestic strong to hunt betta fish. As a result, before the betta fish killed a few, the Royal Guard of Dressrosa was already seriously injured.
Afterwards, King Liku could only turn to the World Government and the Navy for help like his father did, but the latter's answer was the same as before. The almost astronomical starting fee was simply not something a small poor country could afford.

And even if the fleet takes off, there will be an unknown amount of pension after that.
The indifference of the world government and the navy made the young king disheartened, until the appearance of the juvenile murderer "Cyrus" rekindled his hope
It's just that even if Cyrus can really become an unprecedented strong man in the history of the Dressrosa Kingdom, according to King Liku's estimation, he can only restore and maintain the safety of one or two external routes at most.

But now the other party actually said that they have a way to restore traffic in the northwest?
It's the most infested waters with betta fish!
If you can take care of the fighting fish over there, then the other sea areas are not worth mentioning, but is it really as easy as he said?

I'm afraid it's not childish talk, right?
"Don't look at Mousse's young age, he is the brains of our family! His opinion is my opinion." Charlotte Owen, who has improved a lot with his knowledge and domineering attitude, immediately noticed King Liku thought, and immediately said something that made Mousse frown
