Pirate: This shooter is a bit fierce

When the three invading pirate captains were crushed to death by Darrow, the situation on the battlefield of Dressrosa tilted one-sidedly in favor of Darrow and his men.

Under the leadership of Recter and his men, the Babao Navy and the Kingdom Guards cooperated with each other and quickly wiped out all the pirates on the island. Even the few logistics personnel on the pirate ship who did not land on the island were captured by Qingjiao and his men.

"Thank you very much, Lord Daro!" King Liku III had already learned everything. He pushed aside the soldiers who were guarding in front of him with crossed spears, came to Daro and thanked him.

"Oh, Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that I will covet your throne like those pirates?" Daro said with amusement as he looked at the guards standing aside.

"Haha, Chief Gambu told me that Lord Daro is a great hero of the time and cannot be compared with those pirates. Besides, if a strong man like you wants to be the king, I can totally abdicate!"

If such words were said to anyone else, Daro would not believe them, but when they were said to the wise king Liku III, they were still somewhat credible.

"Ha, I'm used to being idle, so you should keep this king to yourself!" said Darrow, scratching his head.

At this time, the Babao navy, which had cleared out the pirates, and the support of the Dondonta tribe also arrived at the King's Highlands.

"Chief, I just killed three pirates. Isn't that awesome?" Quentin waved the spear in his hand, showing off like a martial artist, and at the same time took credit for it to Gambu.

At the same time, after seeing the pirates being destroyed, the residents who had been hiding at home also came to the King's Highlands to thank the guards and Daro and others.

"Those people look so small! Like toy dolls." Some confused children looked at the people of the Dongdongta tribe and whispered to each other.

"What nonsense! They are fairies living on the island." Some 'sensible' parents scolded their children, telling them not to make irresponsible remarks about the Dongdongta tribe.

Because no matter how much Dressrosa owed the Dondonta clan in history, or how they are helping to repel pirates today, the Dondonta clan are their benefactors.

"Hey, they are fairies! So magical."

The children's discussion made the Dongdongta tribe, who rarely appeared in other people's sight, feel very uncomfortable. Fortunately, King Liku III also saw this, so he asked the guards to make way and waved his hand to invite them:

"The palace has prepared a sumptuous banquet. If you don't mind, please allow me to entertain you all."

The palace is very large and looks quite gorgeous. Various exquisite sculptures and luxurious chandeliers make the interior magnificent, but if you look closely, you can still see that there is an old feeling everywhere.

"This palace has been around for many years!" Looking at the luxurious sculptures that had become worn and yellowed, as well as the simple furniture that didn't match the decoration, Sophia was the first to notice the abruptness.

"Yes, this palace has a history of eight hundred years. It was built by the royal family of Dressrosa at that time, that is, the Don Quixote family." King Riku explained as he led everyone into the banquet hall.

"Mr. King, don't you plan to repair it?" Darrow said as he pulled out a chair in a gentlemanly manner for Sophia to sit down, and at the same time, he lifted Gambu from his shoulder and placed him on the dining table.

"I haven't thought about it. The Riku clan has always prohibited extravagance and waste, so apart from necessary repairs, they have basically not taken too much care of the palace. Moreover, the economy of Dressrosa has been bad in recent years, and the lives of the people have been very difficult..."

"I see." Daro nodded, and he had a better impression of the Riku clan. However, when he saw the guard standing crookedly in the corner, whose clothes didn't even fit him well, he still frowned.

"Although it is a little difficult, we still have to maintain some garrison forces in the palace. This is not only responsible for your safety but also for the safety of the country."

From the beginning of the battle, Darrow had already realized that these guards were not the kind of regular army that had undergone formal military training. Except for a few elite soldiers, most of them were farmers who were temporarily recruited.

Otherwise, with the commanding terrain of King's Highlands and the strategic depth of the royal palace which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, it would not be so easy for this group of pirates to defeat them.

"Ahem." King Riku coughed and blushed awkwardly, saying, "For some reason this year, the amount of Sky Gold collected has increased, and we have to pay protection fees to the Rocks Pirates in secret. The heavy burden has made the country poorer and poorer, and it is really difficult to afford the military expenses of the Kingdom Army."

Just after passing through [Fishman Island] and [Dressrosa], Daro heard the same sentence. It seems that the countries in the New World have long been fed up with this situation.

There is no guarantee of safety, and the bulk of the income is harvested twice by the World Government and the Rocks Pirates.

For example, the situation in Fishman Island is not so bad because it is located ten thousand meters deep in the sea and has abundant resources. But for a country like Dressrosa, the situation is really too difficult.

Fortunately, the Rocks Group will be disbanded in less than a month, and these countries will be better off by then.

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the [Heavenly Kingdom Chamber of Commerce]?" Daro said as he used a dinner knife to cut a piece of steak from the plate, put it on a fork and handed it to a dwarf.

"Of course I've heard of it. I heard that this [Heavenly Kingdom Chamber of Commerce] was established by the Sky Island Nation. That country successfully joined the World Government this year and became one of the member states. Now the [Heavenly Kingdom Chamber of Commerce]'s business has even reached the New World."

"I have thought about cooperating with them, but unfortunately the 'Queen of Sky Island' did not attend this year's World Conference, so I was unable to get in touch with her. How come you are connected with the [Heavenly Chamber of Commerce]?" King Liku said.

Daro raised his eyebrows and glanced at Gwent who was sitting on his right. He saw that she was teasing some dwarfs with fruits. Who would have thought that such an unreliable woman would be the 'Queen of Sky Island'.

"We do have some connections. If the king is willing, I can let the people from the Chamber of Commerce move to Dressrosa. Then you can use their channels to sell the island's specialties to other places."

"That's really nice."

Faced with Daro's kindness, King Liku naturally had no reason to refuse. In order to express his gratitude, he immediately picked up the wine glass and walked in front of Daro, drinking the wine generously.

It seems that this is a one-sided favorable transaction, but in fact, Darrow is not giving up.

He knew that in a month's time, there would be a huge upheaval in the New World, and those pirates who had broken away from the Rocks Pirates would then frantically seize territory and divide up the entire New World.

Among them, Charlotte Linlin will divide up dozens of islands in the first half of the New World and establish Ten Thousand Nations, while Kaido will point his spearhead at Wano Country, and Whitebeard's sphere of influence will be in deeper areas of the New World.

And what Daro had set his sights on was naturally Charlotte Linling's largest and most fertile territory - Wan Guo, so he had been preparing for this plan all the way.

"From Fishman Island to Wano Country, they will all be under my protection!"
