Pansa David the Conqueror.
Pansha...
A family with a long and rich history.
Eight hundred years ago, the royal knights of Donquixote Family of Dressrosa were the protectors of the king. Eight hundred years later, when King Riku lost power, they stood up and took Dressrosa back from the great pirate Doflamingo, and their strength has only grown stronger.
If it weren't for the revolutionary army's sudden attack that terrified these kings, their world conference would have targeted David.
Because he went too far. Regardless of whether they were member states or not, any country near him was almost completely conquered. The smaller countries that hadn't been conquered still existed, but they lived in constant fear. However, they weren't qualified to participate in the World Conference; they were too small and didn't qualify. Some of them weren't even countries, just islands.
King David's extreme conquest naturally aroused the resentment of other kings.
They joined the world government and paid so much tax, wasn't it all for the sake of stability?
So someone within their ranks wants to conquer them? How can this be? Isn't this the same thing Vinsmoke did back then?
Doesn't the world government do anything about it?
Oh...they together constitute the World Government. The World Government doesn't have the authority to make these decisions; those decisions are made at the World Conference held every four years.
They would have definitely voted to have David release the conquered territories this time. His territory was too large, so large that it was frightening. If things continued like this, would David's word become an ironclad rule because he had the largest territory and the strongest power? How could the world be stable then? They might as well just start a war.
There's also the Insect Kingdom, and the Four Kingdoms Alliance in the North Sea; they all followed David's path of conquest.
The World Government has not stipulated that they cannot attack each other, because they are definitely at war, but this is the first time we have seen such a large-scale conquest.
They should be restrained; we can't let them continue like this, or the world will descend into chaos.
However, the appearance of the revolutionary army threw them into disarray. If something happened on their own doorstep, they couldn't care less about what happened to other people's franchises. Who had the time or inclination to be so carefree?
Moreover, they have now discovered the advantages of this: with a large territory and great power, dealing with the Revolutionary Army and pirates is no problem at all.
You see, the Revolutionary Army hasn't appeared in Dressrosa, isn't that because they're too powerful? Otherwise, the New World would be the Revolutionary Army's main territory, because it's chaotic enough there.
Now they've all gone to the first half of the Grand Line to fight the four seas, and the remaining Marines are busy fighting pirates. The Revolutionary Army has to fight the war all by themselves. If they had had more territory and stronger forces back then, wouldn't things have been better...?
So no one was going to deal with David anymore.
The key advantage is that they also have fewer weapons.
The World Government supplies them with only a small amount of weapons because they also have to supply the Navy, which is the main source of funding.
Most of the weapons these countries have to buy from the underworld to fight the revolutionary army. They are ridiculously expensive and of poor quality. But David claims that he will provide weapons at an 80% discount, so buying from him is no problem at all.
They'd seen the weapons in Dressrosa before; this place used to be a weapons transit factory. They didn't know where they came from, but the quality was indeed good. Perhaps this guy had some dealings with pirates from the New World...
But that doesn't matter. As a king, it's normal to have deals with pirates. In fact, the Flower Kingdom, which was destroyed, used to support pirates.
All that mattered was having weapons, so a large number of orders were placed directly with David.
They need a large number of weapons and soldiers to protect their kingdom and fight against the revolutionary army.
With the support of the CP, they should be able to hold on for a year.
...
New World, Naval Headquarters.
Many warships were docked in the port, and the naval personnel disembarked one by one and moved into the headquarters.
Unlike before, this time the navy that came did not bring many naval soldiers; most of them remained in their own jurisdictional areas.
The navy maintaining the front lines in the New World only brought back about ten people on small patrol ships. The navy from the first half of the Grand Line or the four seas were brought over in groups on a warship after transiting through Mary Geoise. Moreover, most of the navy that came were from the Grand Line, with only a few from the four seas.
It's not just the New World that's at war; they're also dealing with pirates.
Kuro expressed his understanding of this.
It's not that he dislikes grand occasions, but he's definitely going to become the marshal, so a large entourage is inevitable for him in that position. The small, scattered navy presence here is a bit embarrassing...
But it's not bad. At this moment, in the plaza below headquarters, these naval officers and officers are standing together, densely packed, and it looks quite decent.
Furthermore, Kuro believed that the grander spectacle wouldn't be in this location, but rather in the spot he had reserved...
At this moment, all the warships that could receive the signal activated their Den Den Mushi. They didn't have any video Den Den Mushi with them, so they could only listen to the voices coming from headquarters.
These warships are all used to maintain the battle line or to hunt down other pirates. In order to maintain the battle line, it is impossible for all the navy to go.
Smoker didn't go; he was fighting pirates.
