Chapter 37 King Riku's Target: The Colosseum
Chapter 37 King Riku's Target: The Colosseum
Under the influence of Luo Ji's grand ideals, countless Lilliputian warriors were willing to go through fire and water for him.
In order to allow Luo Ji to quickly build up his forces and return to overthrow the rule of the Don Quixote family.
The Kingdom of Dongtata decided to send a small team to join Luo Ji's ranks to help him recruit soldiers.
"Lord Rogilando, choose me! Choose me!"
Amid the almost frenzied 'star-chasing' shouts of the Lilliputians, Luo Ji could only 'reluctantly' choose a five-person team to set sail.
Unsurprisingly, Princess Mansherry was among them.
Originally, the little girl was a little reluctant to leave Greenbit, but when Leo was also chosen, she decisively abandoned her old father and decided to sail the sea with Leo.
The little princess's eyes were filled with Leo, the little human warrior.
The five little ones that Luo Ji selected are:
Captain Leo, Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user, Sewing-Sewing Fruit.
Princess Mansherry, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user with the Heal-Heal Fruit ability.
Bian, the captain of the flying squadron, is a Zoan-type Insect-Insect Fruit user in the form of a hive.
Vika and Korton from the reconnaissance unit.
Aside from Leo, the four little girls are all very cute, like porcelain dolls.
Originally, Luo Ji also wanted to select another flying squadron captain, Kabu, who was the user of the Insect-Insect Fruit - Rhinoceros Beetle form.
But this mature and composed little man will stay in Greenbit to protect the Kingdom of Tontatta.
He said he's past the age of idolizing celebrities.
There's nothing we can do about that.
Luo Ji sent the Dongtata Kingdom a scroll of grain, which was more than enough for them to eat for one or two years.
He also left the Lilliputians with numerous plans and suggestions.
This includes how to deal with the Don Quixote family's search and how to gather intelligence on the Don Quixote family.
To prevent these honest little guys from being fooled by Doflamingo's subordinates.
However, with Cyrus the Toy around, the Lilliputians shouldn't be tricked into working for free by the Don Quixote family.
···
Having mastered the tricks of 'petting cats,' Yamato, after adding a chestnut hat, finally got his wish and held one little human in each hand, playing happily with these adorable little humans.
We had a great time playing around in Greenbit all night.
Luo Ji has no plans to leave Dressrosa yet.
The next day, this time they made no attempt to conceal their identities and officially landed in Dressrosa.
This is also a rare sight for the Luo Ji Pirates' ship and flag to appear in a bustling island port.
This also marks the addition of the gladiator Rebecca.
In any case, the name of this remnant of King Riku is already infamous in Dressrosa.
"I knew that scumbag was no good. Lord Doflamingo spared her life for Violet's sake, but she still became a despicable pirate!"
"It's better for this kind of sinful blood to leave Dressrosa, so we won't get tired of looking at it."
"The granddaughter of a tyrannical king must have evil blood in her veins!"
···
As the entire Luo Ji Pirates landed, some citizens of Dressrosa glared at Rebecca and cursed her as they saw her following Luo Ji.
Among these people, some had loved ones who died by Riku III's sword, and they harbored deep resentment.
Some people, following the crowd or the propaganda of the Don Quixote family, also despise these former royals.
Hearing these sounds, Rebecca remained expressionless, as if she were already used to it, but her hand holding the sword still gripped the hilt tightly, her fingers turning slightly white.
"Shut the hell up! From now on, Rebecca is the swordswoman of my Luo Ji Pirates. Anyone who dares to disrespect her is our enemy!"
Luo Ji unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, forcefully supporting Rebecca.
Under the warning-like Conqueror's Haki, a large number of besieging citizens collapsed to the ground, their faces filled with fear.
News of the Luo Ji Pirates' landing in Dressrosa quickly reached the King's Highlands.
The Donquixote Family immediately sprang into action, with most of its officers rushing back to King's Heights to assemble and await Doflamingo's orders.
"Waaaaah! They actually came to Dressrosa!"
It seems they're still afraid of Kaido's pursuit and want to return to the Grand Line Paradise.
Doflamingo's eyes flickered behind his pink sunglasses, and the thought of killing Luo Ji and subduing Yamato surged into his mind again.
"Let's go and properly entertain our distinguished guests!"
"Torrepol, bring the sugar up."
Doflamingo grinned, his eyes filled with madness and evil.
Gol D. Rogi, just disappear from this world forever!
Upon hearing their young master's order, the Don Quixote family's officers all wore confident smiles.
With Sugar's Hobby-Hobby Fruit ability as their secret weapon, no one can escape their schemes.
Luo Ji is so young, and he has a little girl with him. How could he possibly escape the polite greetings from Sugar, this little loli?
Only Violet felt a little more anxious.
She had been a member of the Don Quixote family for five or six years and knew a little bit about the secrets of sugar.
Captain Rebecca, please don't fall for this!
···
On Lover's Boulevard in Dressrosa.
Luo Ji and his group strolled leisurely toward the arena.
Along the way, Luo Ji and Yamato, two recently trending figures, attracted a lot of attention.
Especially Yamato, a super pirate whose bounty exceeds that of the Four Sweet Commanders and the Three Calamities.
Two little people, Vika and Koton, stood on Yamato's shoulders, Mansherry and Leo sat on Komachiyo's head, Tama stood in front of her, and Hu Feng flew beside Luo Ji.
Now these five little people can appear openly before the world, no longer needing to be hidden goblins.
"Captain Luo Ji, is King Riku really in the arena?"
Rebecca could hardly believe it; her grandfather, the king, was not only alive but also hiding among the convict gladiators.
Are they now going to invade the arena and rescue Riku III?
"Back then, your aunt Violet joined the Don Quixote family willingly in order to save King Riku and your lives."
To be honest, the reason for this little disturbance in Dressrosa was not only to continue to make a name for himself, but also to take Violet, the intelligence agent, away.
Having rescued King Riku, Violet no longer needed to serve Doflamingo.
"Thank you, Captain!"
Rebecca was deeply moved. She never expected that Luo Ji would rescue her grandfather, King Riku, and her aunt, Violet, so soon after she joined the Luo Ji Pirates.
Luo Ji simply smiled faintly, offering no further explanation.
In any case, allowing the Don Quixote family to continue to exist would only benefit the scoundrels in the end.
Once Doflamingo and Caesar have exhausted all their efforts to make the artificial Devil Fruit business successful, Luo Ji will come and reap the rewards.
Even the Beasts Pirates' army of artificial Devil Fruit users will fall into the hands of the Luo Ji Pirates.
The Luo Ji Pirates went to the arena and actually entered the arena's competition area as participants. The Donquixote Family staff didn't dare to stop them at all.
When Doflamingo heard the news, he thought Luo Ji wanted to make money and make a name for himself, and he immediately laughed with great interest.
He originally planned to host a banquet for Luo Ji's pirate crew and then use Sugar to ambush Luo Ji.
But now, he wanted to see what this guy was up to.
