"Dear Navy officer, thank you so much for protecting us during the war."
Inside the tent, Pansa David first bowed to Kuro, then said, "May I ask what brings you here?"
This man was very tall, at least 2.5 meters. Although he looked thin, there was a sense of power in his every move. Judging from his exposed arms and neck, he must have good muscles.
But that's not the most important thing...
Clang!
Whoosh!
The chains began to rattle.
Doflamingo's expression turned ferocious. "This aura... after so many years, so many generations, you still haven't forgotten it? Kill them and release me! Fufufufu, you're surnamed Pansa, aren't you!"
David glanced at Doflamingo once and then ignored him, standing there with his head down, hands clasped together, looking slightly nervous, like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
No, that's who he always was.
“Pansha David…”
Kuro said, "I'm a straightforward person, so I'll get straight to the point: do you... want to be king?"
The air seemed to freeze.
Everyone inside the tent, whether it was CP0 or Doflamingo, was keeping their eyes fixed on David.
"king?"
David instinctively asked, "What king?"
"here."
Kuro pointed to the land, "This land, this king named Dressrosa."
Upon hearing this, David's body trembled slightly, but he quickly realized what was happening and said with a wry smile, "My lord, the king of Dressrosa is King Riku."
“He has abdicated, immediately,” Kuro said.
“I’m just a pig farmer. As for being king, I’m just a commoner. Even if King Riku were to abdicate, he should give the throne to Princess Viola or some other noble with the right to do so,” David said honestly.
"Commoner? You can't be serious. You have a noble title in Dressrosa, don't you?" Kuro raised an eyebrow.
"Huh? A nobleman?"
David seemed a little shocked and said blankly, "How could that be? We're not nobles. My father was a swineherd, my grandfather was a swineherd, and my great-grandfather was too. Our whole family has never been called nobles. We're not nobles."
Kuro, with a cigar in his mouth, asked again, "You don't know? That's not a big problem. My question now is, do you want to be king?"
David gave a wry smile and bowed. "Sir Navy officer, please don't tease me. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. I haven't finished cleaning up the pig carcass at home yet."
Without waiting for Kuro to speak, he walked straight out of the tent.
Kuro narrowed his eyes, looking at David's back, and said, "His aura is quite strong, but it's a bit strange. It's very strong, but also very weak."
“It’s like a rusty, broken sword,” Lida added.
"That's right, that's the feeling, this man is hiding something in his heart... Right now, he lacks a certain spirit."
Kuro nodded. "Hey, Doflamingo, you just said he hasn't forgotten. What haven't he forgotten? Never mind, you wouldn't tell me anyway."
"Fufufufu, he doesn't want to be one. Hey, Kuro, since he doesn't want to, let's find someone else!" Doflamingo laughed.
"Shut up, loser. You have no right to speak now."
Kuro glared at him and said, "But if he's unwilling... let's think about it carefully. Besides this one, we should also consider a few more candidates."
He had no intention of leaving the tent, at least not before the Warring States period arrived.
Yixiao definitely doesn't care about this.
If these CP0 members don't have a good eye, Doflamingo could die the moment he leaves.
But this person was captured by their navy. The navy either kills people in battle or throws them into Impel Down after capturing them. Killing people in private is not their style.
Or rather, the procedural justice that most of the navy pursues means capturing pirates and handing them over to Enies Lobby for trial.
People like Kuro, who kill on sight, are actually in the minority.
Outside the tent, the masked man with black and white pupils watched David's departing figure and dialed a small Den Den Mushi...
Somewhere in Dressrosa.
In the darkness.
A figure hung up the Den Den Mushi.
"Hey, have you heard? That General Jinni has made his decision to make King Riku abdicate. It won't be one of our families to succeed him; his preferred family is the Pansa family."
“Pansha? How could that be? That family has become a laughing stock; they should be the ones being fooled now,” another figure said.
“The Pansa family rejected the offer, but it has always been a problem.”
"Then let him disappear. I told you that his existence was a threat."
"We can't act now; the navy's watching. We need to find another way..."
...
Is it going to rain...?
In the street, David looked up at the somewhat gloomy sky and muttered, "I have to hurry. If it rains later, the pig carcass's blood will be everywhere, causing trouble for the other neighbors."
He was almost back at his original place.
"Hey! David!"
Suddenly, a sound came from nearby.
With a whoosh, a bag of trash was thrown over and hit David.
David turned around and saw a fierce-looking old woman saying, "It's all your fault, David! Why did you keep walking? You should have stopped when I called you, then the trash wouldn't have hit you."
"I'm sorry, Mother-in-law."
David bowed his head in apology, bent down and picked up the trash. "Did you tell me to throw away the trash?"
