Chapter 092: Rebecca and King Riku’s Shock!

"Alright, let's save the small talk for later."

King Riku tapped the desk and looked at Viola with a serious expression. "Tell me, why did you call us here?"

Rebecca remained silent, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity as she gazed at Viola. She was truly a stunning young woman!

Getting down to business, Viola straightened her posture and pushed a stack of documents across the desk toward King Riku and Rebecca.

Rebecca took the documents, her delicate fingers flipping through them. "The Chris Pirates?"

King Riku glanced at the papers before turning back to Viola, frowning. "You gathered us here just because of this pirate crew?"

Viola nodded slightly, her expression turning serious. "Let me explain the whole situation."

"A while ago, Doflamingo went to assassinate Trafalgar D. Water Law. He had him cornered and was about to finish him off."

"But then, the Chris Pirates appeared and saved Law."

"As the name suggests, their captain is Chris."

Viola tucked a strand of her black hair behind her ear and smiled faintly. "Just a few days ago, the Chris Pirates were given a bounty that shocked the entire world."

"This young man hasn't even entered the Grand Line yet, but his bounty has already reached 100 million Berries."

"And his crew members? Many of them have bounties in the tens of millions. If you add them all up, the total bounty of the Chris Pirates is staggering!"

Hearing this, Rebecca's eyes sparkled with amazement. "That's incredible!"

"I've never heard of anyone in the Four Blues reaching a bounty of 100 million before even entering the Grand Line!"

"Aunt Viola, this Chris guy seems really mysterious!"

King Riku furrowed his brows, equally shocked.

Having lived for decades, he had seen all kinds of storms and waves—but this was unheard of.

For the first time, he felt genuine curiosity about Chris. Without another word, he flipped through the documents, reading carefully.

"Yes, this young man is truly astonishing."

Viola shook her head slightly, her delicate face showing a complicated expression.

"If Doflamingo wanted to kill Law, he wouldn't have hesitated."

"But in the end, he clashed with Chris and was forced to retreat."

"Doflamingo mentioned this fight a few days ago. He used all of his abilities—even his Conqueror's Haki—but he still couldn't do anything to Chris."

Viola looked at them and smiled faintly. "In the end, Doflamingo was pushed to the point of using his ultimate move—but he didn't. He chose to leave instead."

"But knowing Doflamingo, he never gives up on anything."

"That bastard is ruthless. If he could've killed Chris, he absolutely would have. That's just how he is."

"After all, he's the Heavenly Demon, the king of the underground world."

"So, there's only one conclusion: Doflamingo was no match for Chris."

"He was afraid of Chris. That's why he didn't dare to fight anymore."

At this point, King Riku could no longer stay calm. His aged face was filled with shock.

Doflamingo was a monster—one of the strongest in the world.

Yet, he had actually retreated from a fight with a young man?

This was unbelievable!

"Viola, are you sure about this?"

King Riku stared at her, still unable to accept it. "A young man like him… defeated Doflamingo?"

"No way. You must've heard wrong—this has to be a rumor!"

Rebecca frowned slightly, her beautiful face filled with doubt.

"Auntie, what you're saying is really shocking."

"But… this just doesn't seem possible. Could the information be wrong?"

She smiled sweetly at Viola. "I know you're very thorough—you wouldn't tell us something unless you were sure."

"But this is just too hard to believe. It feels impossible!"

"And looking at the documents, Chris is so young."

She shook her head gently. "Even if he started training as a child, he's only been at it for a few years."

"Doflamingo is nearly 40 years old—twice Chris's age. He's been training for decades longer."

"By that logic, Chris shouldn't stand a chance. The gap in strength should be enormous."

Rebecca brushed a strand of her pink hair aside and continued in her sweet voice.

"And while his bounty is terrifying, that doesn't necessarily reflect his combat strength."

"Maybe the Marines just see him as a huge threat or think he has insane potential, so they inflated his bounty."

"Either way, I personally think there's no way he could beat Doflamingo."

King Riku nodded in agreement. "Rebecca is right. This young man might be strong, but against Doflamingo? No way."

"There's no chance he could force Doflamingo to retreat like that."

"So, Viola, are you absolutely sure your information is accurate?"

Viola wasn't surprised by their skepticism. In fact, she would've been shocked if they hadn't doubted her.

After all, Chris was that young. If someone had told her this story, she wouldn't have believed it either!

"Honestly, at first, I doubted it too. I thought it was impossible."

Viola looked at them with a calm expression. "But recently, I've heard Doflamingo mention Chris multiple times."

"Every time he does, he acts arrogant and domineering—but I can see the fear in his eyes."

"Just yesterday, Doflamingo brought up Chris again. I happened to be outside the palace at the time."

"You know my Devil Fruit ability—I can see through lies."

"And in that moment… I sensed absolute terror in his voice."

Viola's eyes gleamed with excitement as she recalled Doflamingo's words.

"That damn brat… How did such a monster appear on the seas? Even I can't beat him!"

"That 'Shinra Tensei' of his is like an absolute defense. My strongest attack—16 Holy Bullets: God Thread—can't even scratch him!"

"Where the hell did this kid come from?! I've sent people to investigate, but there's zero information on him. It's infuriating!"

"But… if he's willing to cooperate with me, that's a huge opportunity. If we form an alliance, I won't have to fear that bastard Kaido anymore!"

Viola tucked her hair behind her ear again and smiled.

"After witnessing that, I became completely certain of one thing."

"Doflamingo… is no match for Chris!"
