Zizzi——!!!
After a few flickers, and King Riku's face appeared on the screen above.
"All of Dressrosa..."
"It's His Majesty King Riku!!"
"Your Majesty King Riku, what are these soldiers doing?! Are they plundering our wealth?"
"Yes! They are so bold that they dare to use your name, Your Majesty King Riku!"
Seeing the appearance of King Riku, whom they had always loved, the distressed people complained loudly.
They suddenly woke them up in the middle of the night and inexplicably asked them to hand over the cash they had on them.
It would be difficult for anyone to accept it.
But...
"——Things happened suddenly; I have a request! You must be in disbelief, as it is really an unreasonable request."
The people who looked up and watched felt their hearts pounding, and a bad premonition emerged.
"The reason cannot be explained at present..."
Bang——! ! !
A cloud of dust rose.
Under everyone's surprised gazes, the somewhat worn King Riku bent his knees and fell to the ground.
"Please, all citizens, give all your property and money! All of it!"
"Lend it all to me!!"
After saying that, King Riku buried his head deeply on the ground.
"——?!!"
"His Majesty King Riku... he actually knelt down to us?!"
"But why do you do this?!"
"So sudden?"
The people were in disbelief.
That's the king of Dressrosa!
No matter how approachable King Riku is in normal times, no matter how much they love King Riku.
However, the royal family is the royal family!!
There is a huge identity gap with them.
This is the deep-rooted idea of the civilians in the pirate world!
And now, the man sitting on the throne knelt down to them!!
This sudden change left them somewhat at a loss.
"Your Majesty the King! Why do you kneel down!"
"This must not be the case! Your Majesty is the king of a country!"
"Don't be like this, please raise your head!!"
"With such an undignified appearance in front of the people, how can Your Majesty have the dignity to meet all the previous kings!"
"Your Majesty will become the laughing stock of the whole world! Please stand up immediately!"
The ministers who were originally accompanying him looked horrified and hurriedly ran forward to pull King Riku up from his knees, roaring at the top of their lungs.
The royal family kneels before the common people. This is something that has never happened before in the world!
It's a pity, how can these powerless ministers be able to pull up King Riku, who has been practicing martial arts for many years.
No matter how hard they tried, King Riku, who was kneeling on the ground, would not move at all.
"Please, everyone!! This is not a show or a joke. If you want evidence, I can cut off my hands or feet right now and show it to everyone!!"
King Riku suddenly raised his head, his eyes were wide open, and there was a small string of mucus hanging from his middle part, shouting with all his strength.
"..."
Seeing King Riku's embarrassed appearance, Commander Tank felt a pang of sadness. King Riku's instructions to him before leaving also replayed in his mind.
——[Tank, listen carefully... I will find an opportunity to secretly report to Kyros later. If anything happens, I will die together with that Doflamingo! After that, the fate of Dressrosa is entrusted to you! !]
"Huh...huh..."
Commander Tank's breathing grew heavy, his teeth clenched, and his fists tightened until his knuckles turned white.
[Collect enough money no matter what! !]
Just when Tank secretly made up his mind, the people began to run around and shout:
"Everyone, hurry up! Listen to His Majesty the King! Take out all your property!"
"The kind-hearted King Riku definitely did not do such a thing out of malice!"
"This matter is definitely not trivial, there must be his reasons!"
"Gather your money together now!!"
Tank looked at the people who were in a hurry with a shocked look on his face, and couldn't help but sigh:
"This is the Dressrosa that King Riku will protect to the death!!"
"This is the reputation that the Riku family has accumulated over eight hundred years. What an amazing country this is!!"
Crash-! ! !
Gold coins and tattered banknotes were thrown into the tattered sacks, creating a crisp sound as metal clashed against metal.
"Sorry!! We just borrowed it!!"
Tank called to his soldiers to pack the money, then bowed deeply to this group of lovely people with tears in his eyes.
"Transport the country's wealth to the palace!! Hurry!!"
Suddenly.
A soldier pointed at the big screen and shouted:
"Captain Tank!! His Majesty the King appeared in Sebio Town!! It was also shown on the big screen!!"
————
Southern town, Sebio.
Dong Dong Dong——! ! !
There was a rapid sound of horse hooves, and King Riku's heroic appearance appeared on the big screen, immediately causing a lot of cheers.
"Your Majesty the King! You don't need to come here in person, just have us..."
Soldiers from Sebio Town came forward to greet them, but they were interrupted by a sharp shout the next second:
"Run away!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with astonished and puzzled looks from the people who slowly gathered around him.
Their beloved King Riku suddenly drew his bow and nocked an arrow, the sharp tip pointed towards the soldier who had just spoken.
Whoosh!!!
Before the soldier could react, a long arrow penetrated deeply into his throat.
boom!!!
The soldier collapsed, his eyes filled with confusion as he lay dying.
Apparently, he didn't understand until his death.
Why... King Riku wanted to kill him? ! !
Whoosh!! Whoosh!!
Several more clusters of arrows were shot out, blood splattering everywhere. With his precise archery skills, King Riku killed several groups of people almost every time he drew his bow.
Clang!!!
It seemed that the arrows in the watchtower behind him had been used up, so he drew out the long sword from his waist.
At this time, the people who were originally in a daze finally reacted.
"Your Majesty King Riku, please stop! This must be a mistake, right?"
Even if they saw it with their own eyes.
They were also unwilling to admit that the man who was killing people in front of them was their beloved King Riku! !
"Stop!! Stop it!"
"Get out of the way, stay away from me! Don't come close to me!!"
"The body... is acting uncontrollably!!"
King Riku was crying while mercilessly waving the long sword in his hand, harvesting a large number of heads over and over again.
If someone who didn't know the truth saw it, they would probably think that King Riku had some kind of perverted hobby.
Countless people fled in a hurry, looking at King Riku with strange eyes as he behaved oddly.
This scene was all accurately broadcast to all parts of the country by Den Den Mushi.
