Chapter 235
Chapter 235
"Teasing us?"
Both of them were momentarily stunned. What did Rorschach mean by that?
"I made a deal with the princess of this country. I’ll help her take back the kingdom, and in return, she will become mine."
Rorschach revealed the agreement he had made with Viola.
"Princess?!"
The toy soldier, who had just gotten up from the ground, repeated in surprise.
Scarlet? No, she was his wife, and she was already dead. It was impossible for her to make such a deal with Rorschach.
Rebecca? That didn’t make sense either. She clearly didn’t know Rorschach.
That left only one possibility — Scarlet’s younger sister, Viola!
She was currently being forced to work for the Donquixote Family. So how did she manage to contact Rorschach and form an alliance with him? Everything about this situation left him deeply confused.
However, this also brought him good news.
Rorschach had no intention of harming this kingdom. On the contrary, he was going to help restore Dressrosa to its former state.
"So that’s how it is... That’s wonderful."
The toy soldier let out a sigh of relief. Even though his face was made of wood, he clearly looked relieved.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Rorschach, for helping this country."
He respectfully bowed to Rorschach and expressed his sincere gratitude.
"I didn’t expect you actually came here to help this country!"
Rebecca looked at Rorschach with newfound respect, and her attitude toward him had clearly improved. She no longer held a grudge about what he had done to her earlier.
"So you’re not resisting anymore?"
Rorschach teased with a playful smile as he pinched her soft cheek again.
"If Mr. Rorschach wants to pinch, then go ahead. Compared to everything you’ve done for us, I can’t do anything in return. If this makes you happy, then it’s fine."
Rebecca shook her head.
"Then I won’t hold back!"
Seeing her reaction, Rorschach pushed his luck further and leaned his face close to hers, pressing their cheeks together.
"Mr. Rorschach~~"
Rebecca’s face instantly turned bright red. She was so embarrassed that she didn’t dare look him in the eye.
The toy soldier below was suffering in silence. Watching his precious daughter being treated this way by some "bad boy" made him extremely uncomfortable.
"Toy soldier over there, could you go find the former king of this country, King Riku, for me?"
"We’ll need King Riku III’s help to calm the citizens down."
Rorschach suddenly spoke to the toy soldier.
"King Riku? Understood!"
The toy soldier nodded and left the Corrida Colosseum to search for King Riku.
Now, only Rorschach and Rebecca remained.
Rebecca looked a little awkward and shy. Rorschach’s earlier actions had made her extremely embarrassed.
Rorschach had sent the toy soldier away to find King Riku purely because he was being a third wheel. He wanted some private time with the beautiful girl.
Besides, dealing with the citizens of Dressrosa was troublesome. He had no interest in massacring them or becoming a tyrant — that would be far too much work.
The best solution was to let the Riku family rule the kingdom again.
He only needed to quietly collect money from behind the scenes.
After all, with both Viola and Rebecca in his hands, he wasn’t worried about King Riku trying to run away.
"Mr. Rorschach... were you serious about what you said earlier?"
Rebecca asked shyly, her face still flushed.
"About what?"
"About... you coming here for me..."
Rebecca’s voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. After speaking, she immediately lowered her head.
"If you think it’s real, then it’s real."
Rorschach deliberately pushed the question back to her with a serious expression.
"But... what about Aunt Viola? Wouldn’t it be inappropriate for both me and Aunt Viola to...?"
She suddenly became agitated and asked anxiously.
"Oh? So you’re saying you want it to be real?"
Rorschach smiled as he gently patted her head. Rebecca’s face turned even redder and she lowered her head again.
"Heh heh. As long as I want it, no one will say anything. And no one would dare to."
Rorschach spoke casually, but with clear dominance.
"Just be a good princess. I’ll handle everything regarding Doflamingo for you."
"Thank you."
Rebecca lowered her voice and thanked him.
After that, both of them fell silent.
Rorschach was simply enjoying the soft, delicate body of the young girl in his arms, while Rebecca finally relaxed after all the pressure and enjoyed a moment of peace.
A while later, the toy soldier returned with King Riku.
After understanding the situation, King Riku immediately expressed his gratitude to Rorschach.
What followed was a major cleanup of Dressrosa.
King Riku took back control of his former army. The soldiers of Dressrosa were overjoyed at his return and welcomed him warmly.
The army began purging the remaining members of the Donquixote Family. Every single one of them was arrested without exception.
However, at Rorschach’s request, these people were only temporarily imprisoned. Once they reached Dragon Roar Island, they would be transferred to Rorschach’s territory. They would make excellent free labor.
In the Donquixote Family’s factories, King Riku also rescued the princess of the Tontatta Kingdom — Mansherry!
Rorschach was very interested in this tiny princess. Not only because of her doll-like appearance, but more importantly, because of her Heal-Heal Fruit ability.
Of course, Rorschach had no inappropriate thoughts toward her. Doing something like that to a living doll would be far too depraved, even for him.
He simply returned Princess Mansherry to the Tontatta Kingdom.
This made the Tontatta people extremely grateful.
They were a simple and innocent race. Even though they claimed not to trust humans, they actually believed whatever they were told.
It was no wonder Usopp, the King of Liars, had such an easy time there.
Rorschach naturally didn’t overlook Green Bit, located to the north of Dressrosa. When he made Dressrosa float, he took Green Bit along with it.
Although the Tontatta were small, they were extremely fast and several times stronger than humans. They would make excellent combat units.
Green Bit was covered in a wild, primitive forest. The plants there were enormous — vines, trees, and mushrooms were all massive in size.
Besides the Tontatta Kingdom, it was essentially an uninhabited island. No humans lived there, only the Tontatta.
There used to be a bridge connecting Dressrosa to Green Bit, but due to the presence of the Fighting Fish, people no longer dared to cross it. Ships that approached were also attacked by the Fighting Fish. If one looked at the coast of Green Bit from below, they would see countless shipwrecks piled up.
Now that the Fighting Fish were no longer a threat, civilians could safely travel to Green Bit via the bridge.
At the same time, King Riku publicly revealed Doflamingo’s conspiracy from many years ago and the current situation. With the citizens who had been turned into toys by Sugar now restored (thanks to Rorschach), their testimonies completely convinced everyone.
The people of Dressrosa now fully believed King Riku. They fiercely condemned everything Doflamingo had done.
The Tontatta people also formed an alliance with the Riku family, officially establishing friendly relations between humans and the dwarves.
Dressrosa had become a paradise where humans and dwarves lived together in peace. The former "Country of Love, Passion, and Toys" was renamed the "Country of Love, Passion, and Fairies."
Dressrosa officially withdrew from the World Government’s member nations and became an affiliated force under Rorschach’s protection.
Having the protection of a true Emperor of the Sea was far better than relying on the useless Marines. They also no longer had to pay the massive Heavenly Tribute to the Celestial Dragons.
They only needed to pay a percentage of their profits to Rorschach.
