New World, Dressrosa.
Several days have passed since the last palace coup.
Kyros, who had been crowned king, launched a significant purge during this period.
Most of the nobles in Dressrosa were slaughtered, and all their property was transferred to the national treasury.
Among them, Kyros did not kill all the nobles who had secret contact with the rebels.
Instead, their noble titles were revoked, and their family property was confiscated.
Although they had complaints in their hearts, under the overwhelming force, each of them could only accept their fate in despair.
At this point, there are only ten holders of noble titles in Dressrosa.
Boiling the frog in warm water was the effect Kyros wanted.
He already understood——
Nobles are the blood-sucking insects lurking in the people of this world.
The gold, silver, and jewellery confiscated from the mansions of various nobles were enough to keep the entire Dressrosa from having to worry about food and drink for nearly twenty years!!
This shows how these hateful nobles exploited Dressrosa over generations.
This has been under deliberate suppression by the Riku family for a long time.
With the death of King Riku Dold III, these nobles were like wolves that had lost their collars, eager to come out and carve up the entire Dressrosa.
At this time, Dressrosa gained a lot of wealth.
There is a faint shadow of prosperity.
Kyros did not squander it wantonly, but used the wealth to repair Dressrosa's infrastructure and invest in people's livelihood.
A broad road for future development is laid out in front of us. It depends on how Kyros leads the people of Dressrosa.
Night falls.
King's Plateau.
The door of the main hall.
Kyros, dressed in coarse linen clothes, sat on the stairs, leaning next to a broadsword that had faded away from its blood.
Just the other day.
This was still a battlefield where armor clanged and swords struck.
But now, all traces have disappeared.
Everything yesterday seemed like the moon reflected in the flowers and water in the mirror. (T/N: Like a illusion)
"What's wrong? Are you depressed here alone?"
A gentle female voice appeared behind Kyros.
Scarlett walked over in her usual clothes, and her exquisite curves gave no hint that she was a married woman with a daughter.
Bending her knees and clasping her legs, Scarlett sat next to Kyros.
"Rebecca is asleep?"
Kyros looked lovingly at the woman who had always admired him.
She bore his children and endured loneliness for several years.
Slowly embracing the other person into his arms, Kyros' face showed endless tenderness.
"I will definitely protect you and Rebecca and protect this country."
The voice was soft, but it revealed an unquestionable determination.
"Um."
Scarlett placed her soft hands on Kyros' thick palm and tapped her blushing cheek.
This is her husband.
An unparalleled hero!
Seeing his wife's infinitely shy look, Kyros felt slightly moved, and his other hand began to feel restless.
Slap!!
"Don't move, Viola is still in the palace."
Scarlett knocked Kyros' hand away with an angry look on her face.
Since Monet's undercover identity was revealed, most of the maids and guards in the palace were dismissed.
So in the vast palace, there were only Kyros and his family, Viola, and two or three little maids.
It just meets the essential daily operation of the palace.
"She hasn't recovered yet? I told her long ago that Admiral Atlas is in a different world from us."
Kyros' eyes gradually calmed down.
He began to recall the process of meeting and accompanying Atlas.
Undeniable.
This period was the period of rapid growth in his life.
That man is the Marine he deserves to follow for the rest of his life!!
"What girl doesn't have a crush? Weren't we the same way back then?"
Scarlett was lost in memories.
The old-fashioned plot makes her feel like a deer bumping into her every time she recalls it.
"Haha~~ Atlas Admiral and I are different..."
"Viola's relationship is destined to be fruitless."
Kyros said calmly.
The current Viola is just a young girl who is not familiar with the world.
"By the way, if Admiral Atlas leaves, why don't you go and see him off?"
Scarlett raised her head, her eyes a little blurry.
"Your Excellency Admiral had already visited me once before leaving. He said..."
"Leave the rest of the trouble to him. I hope I live up to his expectations."
Kyros' distant gaze seemed to penetrate most of Dressrosa.
He saw the island ship slowly leaving the port.
Farewell...
————
Aboard the Ryusen.
Atlas stood at the bow of the ship, his clothes fluttering, and the cloak of justice behind him rustling in the strong wind.
Looking at the lights of thousands of houses gradually moving away.
Atlas's cold face finally began to smile.
The seed...
Already sown.
It depends on which one sprouts first.
"Hakuryu, you must give an explanation to the World Government regarding Dressrosa."
A voice suddenly came from behind.
"An explanation? What explanation?"
Atlas didn't turn his head, and the smile on his face didn't change at all, as if he had already noticed the other person's presence.
"Disobeying the orders of the Five Elders and allowing your subordinates to cause a coup in Dressrosa!"
Looking at Atlas, who seemed very calm, the owner of the voice immediately relaxed.
What the hell? This Admiral is not like the rumored one who kills every time he disagrees with someone.
He's just a Marine Admiral.
In terms of status, he, the dignified CP0 is not inferior to the other party in any way, even more so.
Celestial Dragons' guards are not just words.
Even Hakuryu, who has always been cruel, has to control his temper!
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth under the mask unconsciously rose, and his voice gradually became frivolous: "Do you think the Five Elders don't know your little thoughts? When did the Marines have the right to influence the heir of a franchise country..."
Slap!!
Before he could finish his words, a hand reached out like lightning and pinched the other person's neck accurately.
In an instant, Atlas, who had turned his back to him, turned around and looked at the man in front of him with cold eyes.
CP0 wears his usual white suit and coat, and a black world-weary mask on his face, making it difficult to see any expression.
But Atlas dared to conclude that this guy must have a ferocious face.
The arm muscles slowly exerted force, and the palms like iron clamps tightly grasped CP0 and raised him in the air.
"The rats in the gutter dare to run rampant in front of me?"
As the strength surged, the exposed eyes of the black-masked CP0 began to plead.
Like a humble dog.
"..."
Atlas frowned and threw the opponent toward the sea behind him. A blast of flames spurted out and instantly submerged the opponent's arm.
"I hate it when someone appears behind me. Remember, if there is a next time..."
"Report directly to hell!"
