"Okay, we can discuss other matters later," King Riku said, knocking on the desk. He turned his gaze to Violet and asked in a deep voice, "Tell us, what is the purpose of bringing the two of us here?"
Rebecca remained silent, her curious eyes fixed on Violet, her delicate face expressing curiosity.
Violet, invigorated by the business at hand, straightened up and handed a stack of documents to both King Riku and Rebecca.
"Rebecca, what's this?" Rebecca inquired, taking the documents from Violet. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity as she smiled elegantly.
"Ethan Pirates?" King Riku glanced at the information, then directed a suspicious look at Violet. "You didn't gather us here solely because of this pirate group, did you, Violet?"
Violet nodded with a serious expression on her pretty face. She began explaining the situation in detail, "Allow me to explain the whole story to you."
"Some time ago, Doflamingo attempted to capture Trafalgar Law, and he nearly succeeded. However, the Ethan Pirates intervened and rescued Law."
"The Ethan Pirates, led by their captain, Ethan, have recently gained notoriety after being issued a bounty."
Violet brushed a lock of black hair from her forehead and continued, "Just a few days ago, Ethan Pirates received bounties that sent shockwaves throughout the sea."
"This young captain, Ethan, has yet to enter the Grand Line, but his bounty has already reached 100 million Berries."
"Furthermore, many of his crew members have bounties in the tens of millions of Berries. When you add Ethan's bounty, the total exceeds 400 million Berries."
Rebecca's beautiful eyes widened, her pretty face showing astonishment as she murmured, "That's incredibly powerful!"
"In the Four Blues, it's rare for a bounty to reach 100 million," she added.
"This young man named Ethan seems quite mysterious," King Riku remarked, his brows furrowed in amazement.
He had witnessed countless events over the years, but this was unprecedented.
He couldn't help but become curious about Ethan, and without further ado, he delved into the information presented.
"Yes, this young man is truly astounding," Violet admitted, shaking her head slightly as she showed a sense of awe on her beautiful face.
"Doflamingo's relentless pursuit of Trafalgar Law will inevitably lead to conflicts with Ethan. a confrontation is inevitable."
"Doflamingo mentioned this impending battle a few days ago. He used all his abilities, including Conqueror's Haki, but it did not affect Ethan."
Violet smiled as she addressed the two of them, "In the end, Doflamingo had to resort to his unique abilities, although he didn't use them and chose to retreat."
"But knowing Doflamingo, he won't give up easily. He's ruthless, and if there's a chance to eliminate Ethan, he won't let it slip away. He's too concerned about his image and won't tolerate any embarrassment."
"Therefore, there's only one possible outcome for this battle: Doflamingo is no match for Ethan. He was so afraid of Ethan that he didn't dare to engage further."
Now, King Riku could no longer maintain his composure, his aged face filled with astonishment. Doflamingo was a formidable force, and this revelation left him stunned.
"Doflamingo, are you telling the truth?" he asked Violet, still struggling to believe the news.
"He's just a young man. Can he defeat Doflamingo?"
"It's impossible; you must have heard rumors. This can't be true!" Rebecca chimed in, her brows furrowed in confusion.
"Auntie, what you're saying is astonishing. But it can't be true, right? Could there be a problem with the information?" She looked at Violet with a sweet smile, showing confidence in her aunt's reliability.
"I trust you completely, Auntie. You wouldn't share information that hasn't been verified," she added. "But this is simply unbelievable; it feels impossible!"
"Auntie, I looked at the information earlier. This Ethan is very young, around 19 years old," Rebecca stated, shaking her head slightly. "Even if he started training at a young age, he would have only had a few years of experience."
"Doflamingo is about 38 years old, twice Ethan's age. He's had decades more experience. Based on this, Ethan can't possibly be Doflamingo's equal. The difference in strength between them is substantial."
Rebecca continued, her long pink hair flowing as she smiled sweetly. "While his bounty is intimidating, it doesn't necessarily reflect his true strength. Perhaps the Marines considered him a significant threat and exaggerated his bounty intentionally. That's a possibility."
"In any case, I don't believe Ethan is a match for Doflamingo," King Riku concurred, his granddaughter's analysis aligning with his thoughts.
At this point, Violet wasn't surprised that King Riku and Rebecca were skeptical. It was a natural reaction. After all, Ethan was remarkably young, and anyone hearing such news would initially doubt its credibility.
"In the beginning, I had my doubts too," Violet admitted as she looked at them, her tone solemn. "However, I've heard Doflamingo mention Ethan frequently in recent times."
"Every time he spoke of Ethan, despite his arrogance, I noticed a hint of fear in his eyes."
"Just yesterday, Doflamingo mentioned Ethan again, while I happened to be eavesdropping outside the palace."
"As you know, my Devil Fruit ability allows me to detect falsehoods."
"At that moment, I could see into Doflamingo's inner thoughts."
Violet's eyes sparkled with excitement, her beautiful face alive with animation as she spoke rapidly, "That damn kid! Why did such a monster appear in the sea? Even though I'm no match for him."
"His 'Shinra Tensei' is like an impenetrable defense. Even with my ultimate technique - '16 Rounds of Holy Bullets - God's Killing,' I couldn't break his defense."
"Where did this young devil come from? I sent people to investigate several times, but I couldn't uncover any information. It's shrouded in mystery."
"But he's interested in allying with me, which could be a tremendous advantage. With our alliance, I wouldn't have to fear Kaido any longer," she chuckled.
Violet brushed her hair from her forehead, smiling, "It was through this eavesdropping that I became certain of one fact."
"Doflamingo is utterly outmatched by Ethan!"
....
Shock.
They were both very shocked.
Inside the room, not a single sound could be heard.
Rebecca and King Riku were taken aback; they were well aware of Violet's unique abilities. With her Paramecia Giro Giro no Mi, she could instantly read the inner thoughts of anyone within her line of sight. It was essentially a tool for uncovering secrets!
"If that's the case, then Doflamingo is no match for Ethan," King Riku shook his head, his face filled with astonishment. He murmured, "But this is incredibly surprising!"
"Ethan is so young, yet possesses such terrifying strength. How did he achieve it?"
"This... this is incredible!"
Rebecca, equally astonished, gazed at Violet. She spoke quickly, "He's so young, but his strength is astounding. It must mean his cultivation talent is exceptional. Moreover, he must be a dedicated individual. Achieving this level isn't possible with talent alone."
"This young man is truly remarkable," Rebecca said, blinking her beautiful eyes. She wore a look of curiosity on her flawless face and added, "I'd love to meet him. He's unlike anyone I've ever heard of."
Violet looked at Rebecca, arched her eyebrows, and teased, "Oops... Our lovely Rebecca has fallen for a man. That's rare."
Violet continued, "Fufu, I envy Ethan; he's earned the favor of such extraordinary beauty. It's enough to make anyone jealous."
Rebecca gave her a playful glare and said, "Auntie, you're teasing me. What kind of person he is, and whether he's approachable, I don't know yet. How could I be infatuated with him?"
Rebecca rolled her beautiful eyes, revealing a sly expression, and nodded, feigning understanding. "I see it now. Auntie, I think you're the one who's fallen for him. I guessed right, hehe."
"You're gathering information, and you seem to know him well. If you say there's nothing more to it, I won't believe you!"
King Riku tapped his desk and coughed to draw their attention, then voiced his doubt. "Ethan may be more powerful than Doflamingo, but what does this have to do with us? Are you planning to use Ethan's power to take down the Donquixote Family?"
Upon hearing King Riku's words, Rebecca's eyes sparkled with curiosity. She looked at Violet incredulously. "Auntie, you can't be considering what Grandpa suggested, can you? Please, let Ethan help us defeat the Donquixote Family."
"But wouldn't that be incredibly dangerous?"
Rebecca shook her head gently, her slender eyebrows furrowed as she spoke solemnly, "If he doesn't assist us, he might inform Doflamingo instead. In that case, you'll be in danger, and Doflamingo won't let you off."
Violet ran her hand through her hair and smiled. "Yes, that's what I think too. The Donquixote Family is too powerful; we can't defeat them. No matter how much we endure and secretly amass strength, whether it takes three years or five, it won't change a thing. Doflamingo's influence is immense. Although we're getting stronger and our abilities are improving, we can't catch up with them. Over time, the gap will only widen. Eventually, we'll be helpless. This country will remain under their rule, and there's no alternative."
Violet's expression turned extremely serious as she looked at them. She spoke loudly, "Father, Rebecca, we must seek outside assistance. Trust me; this is the right decision."
Silence enveloped the room. Both King Riku and Rebecca fell silent, contemplating Violet's words. The room remained utterly quiet for a while.
Eventually, King Riku leaned back and sighed heavily. His aging face was filled with desolation. "What you've said, Father and King don't know. But when facing such a formidable adversary, all we can do is hide underground and secretly build our strength. Besides that, we have no other viable solution."
King Riku shook his head, his spirits slightly lifted. He gazed at Violet with a furrowed brow and asked, "Your reasoning is sound; we do need external assistance. But have you thoroughly considered Ethan's situation? What if he helps us overthrow the Donquixote Family but ends up causing more problems here? Who will save Dressrosa then? It'll be nearly impossible."
Rebecca nodded and directed a concerned gaze at Violet. "Auntie, let's explore other options, and see if there's anyone else who can help us. Ethan is too enigmatic, and we don't fully understand him. We shouldn't rush to seek his aid."
Violet waved her hand dismissively, her classic face relaxed, and she smiled. "Don't worry; I wouldn't undertake something I'm uncertain about. And as for the danger, it won't exist. When the time comes to contact Ethan, I won't reveal myself. I'll have one of my agents initiate contact to assess the situation. This way, Ethan won't be able to discern my identity. If we can reach an agreement, that's ideal. If not, no harm is done. Rest assured, there won't be any risks or complications."
Rebecca and King Riku exchanged glances. While Violet's plan seemed safe on the surface, they couldn't help but feel that there might be unforeseen challenges or risks involved. They remained cautious and hesitant, not willing to take any unnecessary risks.
