[One Piece] Dionysus’ third-rate script

The unopposed king was even more comfortable manipulating lifeless chess pieces than pulling up silk threads. There were few people like him who could still concentrate on chatting with his opponents during the chess game.

"Are you still a student?"

Tioni's movements did not pause. She picked up the soldiers on d2 and rushed to d4. Seeing that the bishop on the rear wing had the opportunity to send troops, she lowered her eyes and answered.

"I finished my studies ahead of schedule in order to work. It has been two years since I graduated."

Doflamingo drove the soldiers on f7 towards f5, opening up the battlefield for the knights on the king's wing, and said with a smile that was not serious.

"Fufufufufu, what a bunch of guys who don't know how to show mercy to women. If you met me, I would not force the poor female student to go into the muddy waters of politics."

The woman with short black hair pushed up her glasses, called up the knight on the king's wing, and sighed.

"You are indeed a benevolent king, but my king helped me, a humble person like me, from many talented people. The kindness of knowing and encountering me is unforgettable. I just tried my best to do my duty."

During the game, the two people were talking back and forth, and the battlefield was changing rapidly. The white king dispatched all the knights to the front of the formation, and then launched the rear wing bishop to blitz. The black king had already formed a chain of soldiers on the king's wing, like an iron curtain across the center area.

The White King's Bishop is undoubtedly an abandoned son, but Doflamingo has to call the Bishop who is guarding the Black King in order to send him on the road. However, this is not uncommon in the game. The man still leisurely disturbs the opponent's mind. .

He looked up directly at the chess player opposite who was dispatching soldiers, and smiled meaningfully.

"You have to be busy with graduation, and you have to be the guide for that little prince. No wonder you stay in Dressrosa and take some time off from your busy schedule?"

Tioni adjusted the position of the straw hat so that it could do more work of blocking people's realization, and said warmly.

"In addition to personal reasons, I also handled a considerable part of the infrastructure business while tutoring His Highness. Considering your needs for the Port of Morida, I think I can still be of some help by staying here."

An answer that expresses sincerity and goodwill, is truthful and effective, and sounds like nothing worthy of criticism. But just this answer made the listener grin from the corners of his mouth to his ears.

"Fufufufufufu, I am really having a headache about when to open the port. This helped a lot."

The Black King's knight swung his sword and beheaded the White King's soldiers in the center area. Before Tione had time to reply, Doflamingo's accusation came as he sat up.

"There is a question that I should have asked a long time ago. You were not panicked when we first met. Miss Secretary, have we ever had any unpleasant stories?"

His arms were casually placed on the back of the sofa, and his upper body relaxed, but his hard and full chest muscles tightened. The smile on his lips was obviously exaggerated, and his voice was teasing lightly, but a suffocating sense of oppression filled every bit of the air in the reception room.

"Still, your cheap loyalty will be offered to anyone in power."

Uncertainty, this was Tione's most intuitive feeling towards the blond man in front of her. She looked at the bishop whose hand was cracked by the shock, and dropped it on the chessboard. She gave a rare gentle smile and shook her head. This question was denied.

"This negotiation is not the first time we have met, or it is not the first time I have met you. It is normal for you to be unclear."

Seeing that the other party had no intention of making a move immediately, Tione raised the brim of his hat and continued speaking to the smiling blond man.

"Do you remember attending a charity gala hosted by the chess organization two years ago? You came very late that day, but you were the most generous of all. Your charity even directly reached the fundraising goal of the night."

"That party was planned by me for my chess association, and it was your crucial donation that gave me the capital to enter the selection of royal teachers."

"I said I wanted to repay the kindness I met, and of course this includes you."

Even the oversized black-rimmed glasses couldn't hide her warm smile. Doflamingo suppressed his smile, deployed the Black King Bishop on the rear wing, and coldly passed the topic.

"That's a shame, I don't remember."

This was a good opportunity for others to make a fuss and gain chips. The woman wearing a straw hat just pushed up her glasses, her eyes lingered on his lustrous blond hair for a moment, and she said nothing more.

The restless air became too calm, and the war on the chessboard became more and more intense. The White King knight, who had been waiting for a long time, drove away the Black King bishop in front of the formation and successfully merged with another knight. At this moment, waiting for them in front was the Black King who had no soldiers to protect him.

Not noticing how the situation could develop to this point, Doflamingo frowned and tried to move the bishop on the rear flank to the front.

But the danger has come. Under the protection of the two white king knights, the white queen on the bottom line can defeat the black king in just one step. The arrogant king no longer had the ease and comfort he had at the beginning. He leaned forward close to the chessboard, his elbows resting on his legs that were spread apart, and he hunched over to play chess with the black-haired woman sitting upright opposite him.

He made a move that was extremely normal under such circumstances, but it also pushed the battle situation into an uncontrollable situation:

Castling of the king's rook.

In the Black King's royal city, the Black King, who had been watching the battle throughout the war, finally got on the chariot waiting in the corner and performed a short castling. The roaring chariots guarded the left side of the Black King. In front of the Black King were two soldiers who were destined to sacrifice their lives for the king.

As soon as the move of casting the king's wing came out, Tione's expression became complicated, but she did not speak to break the dull atmosphere. She raised her hand and placed the white queen on h5, causing Doflamingo to look at her deeply. When he leaned forward and deployed the Black Queen forward, he smelled a faint fragrance.

Cold metallic scent, spicy oriental spices, blooming Bulgarian rose and bitter patchouli, this smell is like a sword with a rose sheath, not strong enough but absolutely sharp.

His pupils hidden under the sunglasses shrank, and he put on a stiff and sinister smile. The owner of the fragrance did not allow him to study further. The battlefield had changed dramatically with her next move.

"qh7, check" (The queen moves to h7, check.)

Tione's decisive abandonment of the queen made the chess game a one-way street. Apart from using the king to swallow the queen, the black player had no other choice. The departure of the White Queen is just the beginning of the Black King's nightmare. Every step that follows becomes the only solution, and the Black King's death is certain.

"nxf6,check" (The knight attacks the bishop and general at f6 position.)

Responding again within one step, Doflamingo, whose face became increasingly ugly, drove the Black King forward to avoid the White King's knight and bishop's generals. Needless to say, the black king in the game, the real king sitting in front of Tione cannot succumb to the fate of failure.

The Black King kept dodging the White King's bishops and soldiers. This noble king was embarrassed in the wheel battle. Like a docile herd, he was driven all the way to G1 by the White King's army - this was the White King's royal city. But he did not come here in high spirits with his beautiful queen and loyal knights to embrace victory. The lonely Black King faced the entire White King's army alone. No miracle would happen with one enemy and many. The White King, who was firmly seated in the army, moved to e2 and sneered at the loser who had been teased and humiliated.

The white king's chariot came flying with the dust rolled up, the tragic protagonist ordained by fate closed his eyes, and the black king headed towards inevitable failure.

"kd2, checkmate" (The white king goes to the d2 position and dies.)

Tione's seven consecutive checks made this game almost an overwhelming victory for her in the second half. She even drove out and killed the king one by one. Long before Doflamingo castled the king's rook, Black's defeat was It is already difficult to resolve.

The sun raised its angle while they were playing chess. Perhaps for this reason, or perhaps because of other things, the temperature in the room was so cold that people felt chilly all over.

Tioni covered half of his face and the corners of his mouth with one hand, and did not move rashly while sitting on the chair. Doflamingo, who still maintained his fighting posture, said nothing, especially after seeing her action, his reaction became more intense. Veins stretched on his forehead, and his hand joints cracked, and they would explode in the next second. The entire palace was destroyed into a mess.

His voice sounded like it was squeezed out of his throat, and Doflamingo's smile was not even as good-looking as his sullen face.

"Fufufufufu, it's a pretty good level. You, the president of this association, are the real deal."

"In that case, I will play another game with you to give you a chance to repay my kindness."

The black-haired female officer removed her hands from her face and asked in a loud voice: "Didn't you say that if you win, you will let me go back?"

After hearing the big joke, Doflamingo's smile gained a bit of a wicked smile, and even his exposed teeth flashed with satisfaction. He raised his index finger and shook it at Tione, then casually threw it aside and rested it on the armrest, saying regretfully.

"You won? That's a big mistake. No one said how many games you have to win before you are considered a winner. Accompanying me until you have the best time should be your highest pursuit."

The gangster's logic did not defeat Tioni, who had already expected it. She didn't even sigh, she just rearranged the chess pieces and prepared to start the next round.

Doflamingo suddenly felt much better when he saw her meek look. He still stubbornly took the black chess piece, leaving the first move advantage to Tione.

This time he did not lie down on the sofa again, but straightened his back and sat in the middle of the sofa, staring at the position where Tione would be, and raised his right hand with his ring finger and index finger bent.

Thin, lustrous threads were intertwined around the black-haired woman, just a few inches away from her neck and the arm holding the child. With a shake of her arm, a gash was cut in her stiff suit jacket. This dragnet doesn't even allow its prey to struggle, only a gentle warning.

"You know whose prey your self-righteousness will end up in. You wouldn't lose on purpose, would you?"

The cord closest to her was almost close to her throat, and Tione could even feel it vibrating when she spoke.

"I hope I can satisfy you, Your Majesty."

Retracting the silk threads blocking Tione's arms, Doflamingo's eyes did not fall on the chessboard, but on her left hand holding the chess piece.

The king grinned silently.

It wasn't until Trebol dragged Diamanti noisily into the reception room that Tione, who had already won three games and drawn one, briefly got out of the chess game.

"Hey, how can a woman like you defeat Dove? Are you an esper? Or are you hiding a mechanism on your body? Let me check, just one."

The man with a runny nose came closer. Tione, who was sitting in the seat, had nowhere to retreat, so he had to lean back as much as possible. Doflamingo stopped him before he was about to touch Tione's clothes. He was still unhappy that his game was interrupted.

"Okay Trebol, don't be so rude to my distinguished guest."

He looked at Diamanti, who was sizing up Tione next to him, and stood up to see the guest off: "It's getting late, so I'll let you go back first. You've had a hard day today."

Tione tidied up her clothes, got up and said goodbye to the three big men in the room. Doflamingo told her that he would send someone to pick her up and take her to the palace tomorrow morning, so that she could go back and relax. Diamanti abruptly asked how tall she was, and Tione answered truthfully, earning a short "Oh" from the other party. When he arrived at Trebol, the military advisor dropped a sentence that made people break out in a cold sweat:

"Hahahahaha, you can still walk out of here alive after playing chess with Dover. You are still the first. Remember this honor."

Diamanti was sitting in Doflamingo's seat. Hearing this, he turned back to Tione, who was facing Trebol, and continued.

"Go back and thank yourself. At least you are lucky."

The person at the center of the topic had no intention of taking up the conversation. Tione just smiled and said some words of thanks to His Majesty the King for his kindness. Doflamingo sent someone to escort Tione out of the palace, and the door of the reception room was closed. He said while grabbing the bag and walking to the sofa.

"Do you know how many truths she told today?"

The man with two striped flags on his face sat on the sofa and looked at the chess game that he had not put away before giving his answer.

"Probably less than half."

Trebol touched the ground with his scepter, moved little by little towards the floor-to-ceiling window, and replied: "She doesn't look like an honest woman."

Doflamingo sat down where Tione had just left. The sofa chair was a little too narrow for him, but he nestled tightly in it, his smile not diminishing at all, and he crossed his legs and picked up the chessboard. White Queen, raised to eye level.

"Yes, she is not honest, but she is smart enough. Those lies are always mixed with the truth. Only a fool will believe them all or not believe them at all."

The White Queen in the style of a Greek statue resembles the legendary Queen Helen. Her casual smile was the fuse that triggered centuries of war. Countless men willingly gave their lives to death for her sinful beauty.

He raised the White Queen a little higher, letting the remaining red of the setting sun serve as her background.

“When can those guys have surgery?”

Diamanti looked at the chess pieces in his hand and thought of someone who couldn't be mentioned for no reason.

"It will be next week at the earliest. Several people are scared out of their wits in prison. They have been going crazy all the way. If the leader hadn't said and pointed them to hand over the work, those wimps would have been allowed to get off the boat and swim freely."

Seeing Doflamingo's displeasure, Trebil helped to make amends.

"Hahahaha, four years have passed, how could Dover care about these three or four days, right?"

The king's expression remained normal, but he held the queen tightly in his hand. She seemed to still have the residual warmth of the previous chess player. The man caressed her and put her into his closest pocket. The pink diamond flamingo pendant greeted the new roommate warmly.

He looked out through the floor-to-ceiling windows, but did not see the black figure following the soldier.

"Fufufufufufu, it's been four years."

In four years, I have experienced thousands of days and nights of suffering. Now what I want is at my fingertips, but the persistent person feels vaguely uneasy.

I see a spark that lights up accidentally in the dark night, but who can guarantee that the fire will only exist for that moment.

A black figure looking for an exit appeared in the dense and hot forest. The withered yellow color of the straw hat stood out among the green bushes. She casually opened a grass nest and saw a brilliant blue morpho butterfly with pointed wings flapping its wings. Every moment when the butterfly wings folded in the air, it was like an immersive dream.

This blue morpho butterfly, as bright as a pearl, stopped at the fingertips of the black-haired woman. She held the butterfly with her slender index finger and lifted the condensed starlight into the night sky little by little.

This is the most representative type of large-winged blue morpho butterfly in Dressrosa. What entomologists in the New World talk about most about it is its extremely rare pure scavenging ability. This type of blue morpho butterfly rarely Will feed on plants. The insoluble poison and the two characteristics of always being tied to death give it the nickname Morpho Butterfly.

The death and corruption accumulated in its body eventually turn into the gorgeous patterns on its surface, which are scattered and mottled.

The blue morpho butterfly held her fingertips and refused to leave, seeming to be confused by the conflict between its predatory instinct and the real situation. Tioni smiled faintly and waved his finger to drive it away.

"Cunning little guy, using colors to attract me won't work."

"Why are you more anxious than me, but I'm sorry, I can't give this body to you as food yet."

The fluttering blue morpho butterfly flew around her several times. After confirming that she would not get this human being today, she reluctantly flapped her wings and flew deep into the jungle.

This human being clearly smells of death and poison, how could he be a living creature?

The soldier who was lying on the ground sat up with his teeth grinning and pressing his temples. He found that he was wearing a black coat. He turned around and saw that the state guest who was leaning against the tree and waiting for him to wake up was only wearing a black coat. White shirt.

Seeing that he kept bowing and apologizing, the black-haired female officer reassured him that it was okay. She also thoughtfully advised him to take a leave of absence from his superior and find a suitable time to see a doctor. He had just collapsed suddenly due to excessive fatigue.

When the soldier heard these words, he thought that he felt weak all over the moment he entered the palace. He didn't think it was anything at the time, but now that he thought about it, it turned out to be a sign.

The soldier with a rough appearance turned from apologizing to thanking him repeatedly. Until he saw Tioni leaving the city gate with his own eyes, he was still looking back to the captain and exclaiming to the captain what a good man he was, considerate and kind, and worthy of being a guest of His Majesty the King. Several soldiers gathered together echoed, he is indeed His Majesty the King, and while they were joking, the sky became dark again.

Dressrosa is waiting for the sunrise of a new day.
