Chapter 874 Appreciation
With the defeat of the Don Quixote family, the country of Dressrosa welcomed their new king, or of course, the old monarch, King Riku, who was the king before Doflamingo.
The king who was abandoned by the people ten years ago decisively chose to support his old master after they saw the true face of Don Quixote's family. No one would dream of ascending the throne because the world government would not allow it and the royal power was strictly restricted!
Fujitora also led all the navy to kneel down and apologize to King Riku. They represented the World Government because this country was harmed by the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea were created by the World Government.
Not only that, Fujitora also live-broadcasted the entire process of kneeling down and apologizing to the outside world, completely tearing off the masks of the Navy and the World Government. If Victor didn't know the truth, he would have thought that Fujitora was an undercover agent planted by the Revolutionary Army. This was too much of a move by the Revolutionary Army!
What Fujitora did was actually to shake the status of the World Government in everyone's hearts, so that the World Government would no longer be high and mighty and intimidating. Without awe, more oppressed people would rise up in resistance, and gradually undermine the rule of the World Government!
So in Vic's opinion, Fujitora's operation is no different from undercover. We may not see any impact now, but in the long run, this is an ant hole on the dike!
As the incident came to an end, all the people with decent identities gathered in the open, while the pirates all stayed in the dark. Luffy fell into a deep sleep after defeating Doflamingo, and his invincible will was very mentally exhausting.
This is also the reason why Luffy falls asleep every time he gets into a tough battle, so no one can decide whether the Straw Hat Pirates will stay or go, and they can only wait until Luffy wakes up before making a decision.
Fujitora didn't leave either. He knew that all the people who had participated in the beast fighting arena competition had not left yet, and those people had basically no clean backgrounds. But because of his selfishness, this country was finally saved by pirates, so he didn't want to catch those people, at least he didn't want to catch them in this country.
Another reason is that Akainu called and severely reprimanded Fujitora. How dare you say such a big truth? Is that right? Do the Navy and the World Government have no face? Even if it highlights the tyranny of the World Government, they must continue to be tyrannical to the end!
Fujitora was also tough and retorted on the spot, making Akainu so angry that he was about to erupt like a volcano. In the end, he could only use his official position to force Fujitora to not return to the marine headquarters as a small punishment. He himself appointed the admiral of the navy, so he could not directly dismiss him even if he opposed him!
In view of Fujitora's actions, Akainu was not very reassured, so he sent Sengoku and Tsuru to take over the Don Quixote Family. In fact, he came to urge Fujitora to capture the pirates of Dressrosa. Thanks to Mingo's operation, there are many big fish here. Of course, the focus is naturally on the Straw Hat Boy who defeated Mingo and Law's allies!
Fujitora has been rolling the dice, and the Straw Hat Pirates on the other side are gathering together waiting for Luffy to wake up. Nami and Sanji, who can make the right decision, are not in Dressrosa at the moment, so they can only wait. Sabo also came here to say goodbye to the sleeping Luffy, and asked Zoro and others to take care of Luffy. After leaving a piece of life paper, he left!
"How is it? The atmosphere of the Straw Hat Pirates is pretty good, right? They don't act like pirates at all. They even pay for things they buy. Have you ever seen pirates like this? Can't reason with others and can only sulk? If you join them, you won't feel guilty about being a pirate. They are tailor-made for you. This may be God's will!"
"Don't be in a hurry! Let's wait and see. Didn't you tell me to wait until I get to Wano Country before I get involved? There's still a lot of time to observe. It's not a bad thing to wait and see!"
"Okay! Blame me for being too talkative. I shouldn't have said so much. With your brain, you don't need me to remind you at all!"
Not far from the hut where the Straw Hat Pirates gathered, Vic and Aokiji arrived. They saw and heard everything the Straw Hat Pirates said and did. Vic thought that with the Straw Hat Pirates' current chit-chat, it should be enough to impress Aokiji, but he didn't expect that Aokiji still needed to consider!
In fact, Aokiji has already been attracted. The Straw Hat Pirates' atmosphere, sense of right and wrong, future potential, etc. all fit his preferences and goals. But as he said, he has to go to Wano Country to get involved anyway, so there is no need to make a decision now.
The main reason is that Aokiji knows that once he is confirmed, Vic will leave here immediately. It is a blessing to have a speculative person to accompany him for a drink and chat. He doesn't want it to end so early. The answer is that simple!
Three days passed in a flash, and Luffy finally woke up from his state of eating and sleeping. He learned that Cyrus wanted to sever ties with Rebecca. As an outsider, he was the first to disagree. He left everyone behind and went to the palace to find Rebecca. He took Rebecca out of the palace to reunite with Cyrus!
Seeing what Luffy did, Aokiji admired him very much. This was not the first time he admired Luffy's character. The first time was about Robin in Water City and Judicial Island. He had been watching from the sidelines. Since then, he has liked this kid who would do anything for his friends!
Now seeing Luffy postpone his sailing at the dangerous moment when the navy was about to search the whole country for pirates for the reunion of Cyrus and his daughter, this spirit of being willing to take risks for friends has infected him again!
Coincidentally, when Luffy was helping Rebecca and Kyrus reunite, Sengoku also came to Dressrosa with Crane. The three top fighters gathered together, and the sense of oppression was at its maximum!
Zhan Guo is now free from worries and doesn't even need to dye his hair. He eats wherever he goes with his white hair, just like the second Garp.
But He is different. As soon as she arrived, she questioned Fujitora why he didn't catch the pirates. She still remembered the task assigned to her by Akainu, but she only asked verbally, as a way of fulfilling Akainu's instructions. As for whether Fujitora will execute it?
That is not something He can control. After all, she has retired to the second line. How can she order a current admiral to do things?
Fujitora may have understood Tsuru's intention, and he planned to put on a show to send the Straw Hat Pirates away safely, so he sent all the navy out. He knew that these people would not pose a threat to the Straw Hat Pirates whom he admired, but he just felt a little regretful that he couldn't see the Straw Hat kid's face with his own eyes!
Fujitora's understanding of Luffy is not limited to his performance in Dressrosa. Smoker has also told him about everything Luffy has done before, so Fujitora really has developed curiosity and liking for a pirate!
After Luffy sent Rebecca to reunite with Kyrus, he finally decided to set sail. Although their Sunny had been taken away by Nami and the others, they did not gain nothing in Dressrosa.
Those pirates who were rescued by them all wanted to surrender, especially the super fanboy Bartolomeo, who would do whatever he was told, and he would make any kind of ship for you to take to Zou!
"They have cleared out all the navy along the way. Is this a way of repaying a favor?"
"This is not just about returning a favor. I also see loyalty in it. This is about clearing away troubles along the way for the boss! These people most likely want to join the Straw Hat Pirates. They can see Luffy's strength and potential, just like the pirates under Whitebeard. After today, the Straw Hat Pirates are expected to grow in power!"
"Is this how all pirates act? It's really hard to understand!"
"You used to be a marine, so of course you can't understand their thinking. Once you become a pirate, you will probably understand it!"
Watching the Straw Hat Pirates reach the seashore unhindered and the navy along the way being defeated by loyal and righteous pirates such as Helding, Lao Cai, Cavendish, etc. Aokiji just thought that they were repaying their gratitude.
After all, without the Straw Hat Pirates, they can only be toys working hard in underground factories in the future. Everyone in the world who knows them will forget them. This is the most difficult thing for them to accept. Aokiji is also afraid of being forgotten by the world!
