Chapter 219
Chapter 219
"Wait! I never agreed to marry you! What are you even talking about?!"
Viola reacted and shouted in a panic.
She hadn’t even said anything yet, and she was already being dragged into marrying Rorschach. If she didn’t speak up now, she might really get pulled into it without realizing it.
"Don’t be so quick to refuse, Miss Viola."
"You were forced to stay with the Donquixote Family because of Doflamingo, weren’t you? Don’t you want to take back Dressrosa and restore the kingdom to how it used to be?"
"Having lived inside the Donquixote Family, you should know very well the darkness that’s currently hidden in that country. Don’t you want to change anything?"
Rorschach’s lips curved into a smile as he spoke in a tempting tone.
"What do you mean by saying all this?"
Viola was momentarily stunned. She didn’t understand what Rorschach was trying to do by suddenly bringing this up.
"Heh heh. What if I told you I could help you take back Dressrosa? I can put King Riku back on the throne and return the country to the way it was before."
"What...? Is that true...?"
Viola was immediately drawn in. Her expression turned shocked as she unconsciously muttered to herself.
Hooked.
Rorschach smiled inwardly. Viola’s weakness was her family and the people of Dressrosa.
As long as he grabbed hold of that point, winning her over wouldn’t be difficult.
"Of course. With my power, I can easily do all of that. However, I do have one small request."
"A request?"
Rorschach didn’t answer with words. He simply smiled and quietly looked at her. His expression said everything.
Princess Viola, you don’t want your father and your country to keep suffering under Doflamingo, do you?
"I see... So as long as I marry you, my father can return to the throne, and Dressrosa can go back to how it used to be."
Viola closed her eyes and thought for a moment. When she opened them again, her gaze was firm and decisive.
"Yes. If you can really do it... then I’ll marry you."
She had made up her mind. Her eyes were no longer lost — they were filled with hope, as if she had suddenly been hit by a massive stroke of luck.
Part of her country’s people were constantly suffering, yet she could only watch helplessly without being able to do anything. There was nothing more painful than that.
Now, she only had to give herself, and the country could be revived and return to its former peace. This was an extremely profitable deal.
Moreover... from Rorschach’s words, Viola could tell there was no lie. Everything he said was the truth.
Whether it was liking her or helping save Dressrosa — all of it was genuine.
Looking at Rorschach’s handsome face, Viola felt that this wasn’t a loss at all. In fact, she was the one who stood to gain.
Having such a handsome and powerful man like her, while also helping her reclaim her country — what reason did she have to refuse?
"Then it’s settled. I’ll help you take back your country, and you’ll marry me."
"...Mm."
Viola nodded shyly.
Rorschach tilted his head up slightly. Viola instantly understood what he wanted. With a red face, she leaned in and gave him a light kiss on the lips before quickly lowering her head, too embarrassed to let him see her expression.
Seeing this, Rorschach grinned.
He hadn’t expected his luck to be this good today. He had taken down two women he liked in one go.
He really had to thank Doflamingo for this. Even though his original goal wasn’t to deliver women, he had accidentally sent him a huge gift. What a good brother.
Since he gave such a generous present, Rorschach decided he would go a little easier on him later.
...
"Achoo!"
Doflamingo rubbed his nose.
"What’s going on? Don’t tell me I’m actually catching a cold because the weather turned cold?"
Doflamingo muttered in confusion as he looked up at the bright sun and felt the hot temperature around him.
That didn’t make sense. The weather was still scorching, so why had he been sneezing so much these past two days? Was his body getting weak?
Unable to figure it out, Doflamingo shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He looked at the newspaper in front of him with an evil grin and burst into loud laughter.
He had no idea that someone thousands of miles away was thinking about him right now. If he knew, he would probably kowtow eight hundred times to Rorschach.
...
Rorschach returned to Dragon Roar Island with Baby 5, Viola, and the heavily injured, unconscious Buffalo.
"Yo~ You were only gone for a little while and you already brought back two more beautiful women. Should I say you have good luck with women, or that you’re just way too greedy?"
"Hm? There’s even a man. I didn’t expect this, Captain Rorschach. When did you change your taste and start liking men?"
When Nami saw Rorschach return, she came to greet him, only to see the two women in his arms. She frowned slightly, feeling a bit jealous.
Then she noticed Buffalo lying on the ground and immediately pinched Rorschach’s cheek, speaking in a teasing tone.
"Stop messing around."
Rorschach gave her a resentful look and spoke helplessly.
"Let go of Darling, you rude woman!"
Baby 5 let out an angry roar and transformed her right hand into a gun, pointing it at Nami. However, Rorschach immediately pushed it back down.
She looked at him in confusion, not understanding why he stopped her.
"Hm? Darling?"
"You’re really something. It hasn’t even been that long and she’s already calling you ’Darling’. Your skill at picking up women has improved."
Hearing Baby 5’s nickname for Rorschach, Nami was quite surprised. She then started teasing him.
"That’s just because my charm is too strong. I accidentally made her fall for me."
Rorschach shamelessly flipped his hair and spoke with pride.
"Darling is so cool."
Baby 5, on the other hand, ate it up completely and looked at him with an admiring gaze.
"Tsk tsk."
Nami clicked her tongue in distaste.
Why did this woman feel like not only a love-brain, but also an expert at bootlicking?
"Let me introduce you. This is Baby 5 — maid and assassin of the Donquixote Family. She’s one of us now."
Rorschach patted Baby 5 and introduced her to Nami.
"My name is Baby 5. I’m Darling’s wife."
Baby 5 suddenly became very polite. After introducing herself, she returned to acting like a girl in love, not wanting to leave Rorschach’s side even for a second.
"Hmph~~ Then what about the woman next to her? Is she also your new wife?"
Nami looked at Viola and spoke with a hint of jealousy.
Even she hadn’t called herself Rorschach’s wife yet, but now someone else was claiming it in front of her.
How could she not feel jealous? She didn’t give Rorschach a friendly look at all.
"Viola was the former princess of Dressrosa. She was later forced to join the Donquixote Family. She’s one of us now too."
"Princess?!"
Hearing Viola’s identity, Nami looked at her with a strange expression.
"Hey, Rorschach. Don’t tell me you’re some kind of princess hunter? First it was Vivi, then Reiju, then Shirahoshi, and now another princess from Dressrosa. There are already four princesses on this ship!"
