In the Dressrosa palace, Wang Long and Yagyu Shikko voluntarily allowed themselves to be bound in chains and brought to the main hall, where David, dressed in a different outfit, sat on the throne, curiously watching the two.
"You mean, you want to find the answers here?"
He was also holding a copy of "The Faith of Justice," which had been taken from Wang Long. When David saw the book, he knew what was going on.
The Justice League provided a great deal of assistance on his path of conquest. Many enemy soldiers were drawn to the justice they witnessed, believing that this was how people should be. Furthermore, the soldiers of Dressrosa never bullied civilians or their hometowns, only seeking out soldiers to fight, which made the villages and towns of the enemy forces very favorable towards Dressrosa.
Furthermore, the policies implemented during the conquest of Dressrosa, which involved adopting the Dressrosa model while preserving local characteristics and adopting its best aspects while discarding its worst, led many to surrender directly.
With faith, military force, and considerable power, this is not something that ordinary forces can withstand.
Even David himself was drawn to Wilbur's adaptation of "The Sayings of Justice" to suit the sense of justice in people's hearts today, let alone others.
"Yes, I was looking for the answer. I had sensed the collective power at 'Giant Shield' Cass before, but when I came to Dressrosa and saw this place, I realized that the ultimate embodiment of this collective power is right here in Dressrosa, right there in the 'Faith in Justice'!"
Wang Long shouted, "Dressrosa, with its righteous faith, will surely guide me to the path of true 'power,' so please take me in! No, just let me live in Dressrosa!"
"Feel the same!"
Yagyu Ishikora, seemingly unwilling to admit defeat, leaned forward and shouted, "I also found the right answer in 'Big Gun' Wilbur, so I wanted to come here and see what the way of life is like in Dressrosa, where I also found the right answer. Is it the same as what I imagined? Is it the kind of country where the residents trust each other and can confidently entrust their backs to one another?"
These words made David raise his head slightly and proudly say, "Of course, I can entrust my back to the people of Dressrosa without any worries, and the people of Dressrosa will also give me their trust unconditionally. This is a country that can be trusted!"
With the entire population accepting the "Faith in Justice," they have come to know what true justice is in their hearts, because the values conveyed in the "Faith in Justice" are all about the goodness of humanity.
No one can resist beauty.
Even nobles would not refuse such a wonderful thing, but unfortunately, according to the strategic policy conveyed by Mr. Kuro, feudal capitalist nobles who are bad to people are not compatible with the world and have long been eliminated by David!
Seeing the two looking somewhat impatient, David sighed slightly, stood up, and walked inside.
Once inside, he pulled a Den Den Mushi from his pocket and asked, "What do you guys think?"
The Den Den Mushi remained on, seemingly talking to someone.
This is a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) for multi-user communication, and the connected users are...
Greenbite, just across a bridge from Dressrosa, was originally an island belonging to the Tontatta people. After King David came to power, he resolved the previous conflict between Dressrosa and the Tontatta, allowing the Tontatta to join his righteous faith. Then, Greenbite was opened to the public, allowing the navy to station a fortress there.
The unique agricultural talent of the Tontatta race allows them to develop Greenbite, and the navy can even feed themselves without needing supplies. This talent was naturally discovered by David, and as citizens of Dressrosa, the Tontatta race naturally joined the great conquest. The Tontatta race was also present in the conquered territories, helping them to grow crops and fruits and reclaim wasteland.
Meanwhile, at the naval base in Greenbit, Cass was in charge. He was in his office looking at the Den Den Mushi, thinking about the conversation he had overheard earlier, and said, "Wang Long? He did escape from my hands, but I think he's not bad. Although he's a pirate, he hasn't done anything outrageous in terms of experience. If possible, try to get him to join Dressrosa."
"Similarly, I also think that Yagyu Ishikora is good. In that battle, I was no match for him, but he seemed to have been mentally impacted. He didn't do anything outrageous, so he's a very strong person and could join Dressrosa."
Meanwhile, at the naval base within the Kingdom of Kolf, Wilbur spoke into the Den Den Mushi: "Didn't we meet with Vice Admiral Kuro before? He mentioned his troubles. Mr. Kuro wants the power of pirates, perhaps for other reasons besides joining Dressrosa."
The Kingdom of Korf is essentially 'Dressrosa', but to outsiders, they should be viewed separately.
Moreover, Cass and Wilbur are naval personnel and do not participate in the kingdom's internal affairs. If it weren't for the need to be mindful of the impact, David would have wanted to invite Cass and Wilbur directly to the palace, instead of relying on Den Den Mushi for most of their communication as it is now.
After defeating the Unicorn Pirates, the group met up.
Kuro was busy interrogating the undercover members of 'Sword'. Of course, this kind of interrogation wouldn't be discussed with anyone outside of 'Sword', but he still complained a little about his situation to Cass and Wilbur, who were also under Mr. Kuro's command.
After all, what Mr. Kuro wanted was to turn the undercover agent into a full-fledged captain, which wasn't something that could be easily accomplished. So, he made a subtle complaint, saying, "Mr. Kuro wants to develop the pirate force and is looking for pirates outside the Seven Warlords who are willing to cooperate with the Navy."
