The cabin was simply furnished, with only a table, a few chairs, and a small single bed. There were even slight cracks on the walls.

"Please have a seat. I'm sorry, this humble apartment is so simple. Please make do with it for a while." The masked man expressed his apology, poured a glass of water for Meliodas and the three of them, and found a place to sit down.

"It doesn't matter, let's get down to business. I'm curious, who are you~ King Riku himself, or someone else from the Riku royal family?"

The masked man was shocked, and then he took off the mask with relief, revealing an old face with white hair, wrinkles, and a haggard look that made people feel unbearable.

"Yes, I am King Riku himself. Can you tell me how you guessed it? I think my disguise is pretty good."

"Your eyes tell everything about you~ Everyone can see it. Sadness, self-blame, and regret are all three emotions contained in your eyes. Just like that, after hearing about Riku After the king's deeds, I can't think of anyone else except King Riku and the Riku royal family." Meliodas looked at King Riku disapprovingly, he was still more concerned about what happened and not interested in other things.

"Really...I'm really unqualified." King Riku shook his head helplessly, then looked at his hands, and remembered the original scene again, and involuntarily clenched his fists, and even dug his nails into them. Inside the flesh, traces of blood dripped down the wound without even noticing it, and the hatred in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

"Originally everything was fine, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, full of laughter, calm and harmonious, but since that day, that man, Don Quixote Doflamingo arrived!" King Riku mentioned Doflamingo Ge, he couldn't help shouting out again, his eyes were bloodshot, and his fists were clenched tighter.

Meliodas looked at King Riku, and suddenly there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, which even he didn't notice.

"That bastard Doflamingo came to the palace and told me that he wanted to take back Don Quixote's land. If he wanted to continue to be king, he was prepared to buy the country with billion beli, but even if he collected all the money in the country It was not enough. I had no other options. Doflamingo also told me not to call other countries for help. In this case, there was no other way but to raise money, so I immediately asked the soldiers to help. I collect money from the citizens on the pretext of tax collection, but time doesn’t want to give me this chance, that bastard, Doflamingo!”

As King Riku spoke, a tear fell silently, as if it was a signal. The tears in his eyes began to pour down uncontrollably. With tears streaming down his face, he clenched his teeth and continued to speak.

"Doflamingo has been playing with me from the beginning. He has no intention of letting this country go. When the time comes, he starts to use the power of Devil Fruit to control me, making me fully armed and facing my cherished people. Swinging the long sword, tightening the bow string, killing and destroying everywhere, although I tried my best to get rid of it, but it was of no use, it was just a struggle. Then I started to control my soldiers, slaughtering with me, and creating trouble for the people. We lost the illusion that we were crazy, and finally that bastard appeared as a hero, defeated me, and deserved the support of the people and ascended the throne, becoming the new king."

"Huh~" King Liku took a deep breath and calmed down his mood: "That's what happened. I don't know if you will believe it, but this is all I can say."

"I see. Sure enough, is there something wrong with Doflamingo... Well~ I believe you. After all, Rayleigh will not lie to me. He said you are a very good king, and there is nothing wrong with you. Rage, if you are not an absolutely kind person, will not be so pure."

Meliodas had a hint of admiration for King Riku. Although kind-hearted people are good, sooner or later their kindness will backfire and harm themselves. Although Meliodas sometimes seems gentle, when it comes to killing people You will never be soft-hearted, and it is always better to hurt others than for others to hurt yourself.

"That Doflamingo is so hateful. Unfortunately, I thought he was a good person at first."

"How can it be so excessive to use this method to seize the country? Is this a pirate?"

Roald was very angry, and Liya began to have a new understanding of pirates, and her heart was a little shaken. She thought that the Blue Wolf Pirates on Holger Island were cruel enough, but they and Dolfrond Ming Ge pales in comparison.

"Brother, if this is a pirate, let's not be a pirate. I don't want to be that person." Liya was a little disappointed with the pirate.

"No, we will never become like that. I didn't become a pirate to do this kind of thing. I did it to take risks and find the legendary secret treasure One Piece. This is my goal."

"Yes, you are you, not others. Why should you put other people's thoughts on yourself? Just be yourself. Following your heart is the way you should go." Meliodas faced The two said.

After hearing this, Liya felt a hint of clarity in her eyes, and the fog in her heart gradually dissipated. She could see the road ahead clearly, and now she was no longer confused.

King Riku was extremely surprised when he heard what Meliodas said. He never expected that a child would see life so thoroughly. This was beyond what a child could say. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought it was He is a hundred-year-old guy, and then he thought carefully: Why is he not the same? Since it has happened, why not be more open-minded. Doflamingo's revenge will be avenged sooner or later, but not now. , so what’s the point of torturing myself now, haha, it turns out that I’m not as good as a child, King Riku, I’m still not mature enough.

Thinking of this, King Riku looked at Meliodas with gratitude in his eyes, and even changed his title. Under the surprised eyes of Meliodas and the three of them, he knelt down directly: "My lord, Thank you for what you just said, I have started watching it, and I, Likudold III, will definitely repay you."

"Haha, get up, His Majesty King Riku, you don't need to thank me. I just said what I should say. I don't want the partner I like to lose myself. Since you also want to understand, then come on Well." Meliodas smiled brightly and left with Roald and Liya.
