Crisis on Dressrosa! 1

"Are you really going to fight Kaidou?" 

"Yes." 

"Are you stupid? Stop this idiot, you two!" 

Shinra, who had determined to fight Kaidou if one of the Emperors came to destroy the Dressrosa Kingdom, was being scolded by Stussy. 

In the beginning, she thought that what he had said was a joke, but their ship moved closer and closer to the Dressrosa Kingdom, and at the same time, the World Government also followed Shinra's advice to put all the blame on Doflamingo, who had colluded with Kaidou. 

If it was before, the Five Elders just planned to hide everything till everything calmed down, but as Doflamingo's mess was too much for them to bear, they decided to abandon him, putting him inside the prison as they put all the blame on Doflamingo and Kaidou, who colluded with each other. 

"Justice is for everyone!" 

As the World Government made such a declaration, and showed they had worked to create peace for everyone during this era of pirates, putting much of the blame on Gold Roger, who had made the world into such ruins where everyone could only live in fear and tragedy, everyone's negative emotions quickly changed toward Doflamingo, Kaidou, and Gold Roger, and the majority of people even felt that the World Government was a just and righteous organization that worked hard for the peace in this world! 

While it was hard for others, it was easy for the World Government since the majority of the media was in the hands of this organization, and they used their influence to clean up all their messes as if everything had nothing to do with them. 

Nevertheless, while the World Government's mistakes were cleaned up, for Kaidou and the Beast Pirates, everyone was dumbfounded!

"... Do we want to take over the Dressrosa Kingdom?" 

"Er... I don't think so. There is nothing there, right?" 

"Then, why was it like the World Government told everyone that Boss wanted to take down the Dressrosa Kingdom?" 

Only Kaidou was speechless before he became enraged! 

"THE WORLD GOVERNMENT IS BITCH!" 

Yes, it was true that he had bought the artificial devil fruit from Doflamingo, but he had never shown interest in taking the Dressrosa Kingdom! 

After all, Kaidou knew well that the Dressrosa Kingdom was a poor country with limited resources! 

In that place, what could he get? 

It was different from his current base, which had rich minerals, which made him able to create many weapon factories and make a lot of money for his pirate group! 

So, why did the Five Elders say that Kaidou had colluded to rob the countries and kingdoms' members of the World Government? 

It was because they messed up and used him as a scapegoat! 

"BASTARD!" 

Kaidou was furious!

Yes, he might not be the smartest, but even so, he wasn't stupid! 

"Boss, what should we do?" 

Everyone also understood that they were used by the World Government to take the blame for what happened in the Dressrosa Kingdom due to Doflamingo and the Beast Pirates! 

Yes, they might have a business relationship as Doflamingo often bought their weapons, and they also bought the artificial devil fruit from him, but they had never thought to take over the Dressrosa Kingdom and create a conspiracy to conquer the New World! 

"IF YOU WANT TO PUT ALL THE BLAME ON ME, THEN DON'T THINK THAT YOU CAN GET OUT UNSCATHED!" 

As Kaidou roared, he soared directly into the sky as he turned into a dragon, ready to destroy the Dressrosa Kingdom and every nearby kingdom, country, and even the Marine Bases, as those bitches had done something that they shouldn't have done! 

Yet, while Kaidou's reaction was direct and destructive, for those in the Dressrosa Kingdom, especially the group that came from the previous king, Riku, they were all in a panic! 

Why did they have such a reaction? 

It was obvious because they knew that there was a chance for Kaidou to appear and really come to destroy their kingdom! 

The might of Kaidou was clear to everyone, and probably, among all the Four Emperors, he was the strongest, as Whitebeard, Edward Newgate, and the Big Mom, Charlotte Linlin, were already old. 

"How is the Marines' response, Father?" Violet, the princess of the Dressrosa Kingdom, asked with a voice filled with anxiety and fear. Those from other parts of the oceans might not understand the horror of Kaidou, but as she came from the New World, she understood the horror of one of the strongest pirates! 

Facing the remnants of the Doflamingo Pirates, they were all helpless as the executives of the Doflamingo Pirates, whether it was Pika, Trebol, or Diamante, weren't weak! 

Moreover, this remnant also had a lot of people with the power of Devil Fruits and many followers, as the only thing that the Doflamingo Pirates never lacked was money! 

On the other hand, the Dressrosa Kingdom was poor, especially when the previous king, Riku, was someone who was known for being gentle and pacifist, giving all the money to the nearby troubled kingdoms and countries, making his country poor and even letting a certain special race in this kingdom steal anything that they wanted. 

Even if King Riku was known as the righteous king, there was a limit on what his followers could do! 

"I will fight." 

When everyone was in their most desperate situation, a man with one leg stood up and showed his determination to fight! 

"Father!" 

A beautiful girl with pink hair looked at the figure of this man with anxiety. She had forgotten this man for so long, yet would they have parted again?

"Don't worry, Rebecca. I will be fine." 

Kyros, the legendary gladiator, patted his daughter's head softly with a gentle smile, since for his family, he would do anything! 

He couldn't save his beloved wife before, but this time, it was different! 

Even if he gave his life, he would stop the Doflamingo Pirates and the Beast Pirates! 

"Stop it, Kyros." King Riku Doldo III shook his head and said, "You aren't the opponent of the Four Emperors, and facing that monster will kill you instead."

"But.."

"No, but!" Riku quickly stopped Kyros, then looked at his second daughter. "Violet, how are the Marines? Will they come to help us?" Even if he wasn't the one who made the payment, the Dressrosa Kingdom was still a member of the World Government, so they still needed to protect their member, right? 

"...they are delayed and need time to come." 

Violet didn't continue since the meaning of her words was clear. 

When the Dressrosa Kingdom was in a crisis of having its kingdom attacked by Kaidou, the Marines couldn't come to help. 

Yet, wasn't this normal? 

After all, the only ones who could fight Kaidou were the admirals, and if possible, the Marines needed to send two admirals to make sure they could stop Kaidou, yet was it possible for them to send two admirals and a group of soldiers to save the Dressrosa Kingdom? 

The answer was simple. 

Impossible. 

Instead, the Five Elders had made up their minds to abandon the Dressrosa Kingdom since, as Doflamingo was defeated, this kingdom wouldn't give much money, and even if this kingdom was the previous kingdom owned by one of the original twenty families of the creators of the World Government, it didn't really matter. 

What was important was to maintain their rule, stability, and their image as the righteous, and to do all of that, what they needed to do was to abandon a single kingdom, which wasn't that cheap. 

Yes, they had succeeded, and they never ever thought to send the Marines except for the scouts till everything calmed down, since it would waste their weapons, money, and manpower. 

As for the Dressrosa Kingdom, they had to apologize, but their crisis had to be handled by themselves.
