Chapter 236
Chapter 236
Dragon Roar Island.
"I didn’t expect you to actually..." Viola covered her mouth in shock.
She had only asked Rorschach to help her father reclaim the throne and restore order to Dressrosa by breaking Doflamingo’s tyrannical rule. Not only had he fulfilled her request, but he had also brought the entire island of Dressrosa back with him — and even Green Bit along with it.
Judging from the respectful and admiring gazes of the Tontatta, it seemed Rorschach had also brought the dwarves under his wing.
"Darling~~~~!"
Baby 5 was much more direct. She rushed forward and threw herself into Rorschach’s arms. He naturally spun her around twice before putting her down.
"Darling, are you okay? Did those people hurt you?"
Baby 5 looked at him with concern, her hands constantly running over his body as if checking for injuries. However, from her flushed cheeks and the lovestruck smile on her face, her true intentions were obvious.
But was Rorschach the type to let someone take advantage of him without returning the favor?
He immediately did the same to Baby 5, reclaiming what he had "lost." It was a win-win situation.
Nami covered her forehead and looked away from the overly affectionate pair.
Baby 5’s face was bright red as she panted softly in Rorschach’s arms, her eyes filled with love.
"Alright, alright, that’s enough. There are too many people watching," Nami said helplessly as she walked over and pulled Baby 5 out of Rorschach’s embrace.
Behind Rorschach, Rebecca’s face was completely red. She covered her eyes with both hands, but it was obvious from the gaps between her fingers that she was secretly peeking.
"Tch, that vicious woman... How dare she interrupt my reunion with Darling."
Baby 5 muttered under her breath, though she didn’t dare say it too loudly. She already understood that Rorschach had many women on this ship, and Nami held a very high position in his heart.
"Rorschach, care to explain what’s going on here?"
Nami looked at the large group of people following behind Rorschach with a strange expression.
First was Kyros, who had returned to his human form from a toy soldier, along with King Riku III. Then there was Rebecca, who had changed out of her heavy gladiator armor and was now wearing a beige dress, appearing as the princess of Dressrosa.
"I basically took everything that belonged to Doflamingo and brought the entire Dressrosa under my control," Rorschach said casually, looking quite pleased with himself.
"And what about those little people over there? And that pink-haired girl... Don’t tell me you kidnapped another one. Is she also a princess?"
Nami pointed at the Tontatta standing with King Riku, then at Rebecca, asking expressionlessly.
"You know me, Nami."
Rorschach nodded proudly.
"That’s the fifth one."
Nami sighed helplessly.
"Thank you so much, Captain Rorschach."
At that moment, Viola suddenly rushed over, tears still lingering in the corners of her eyes.
She had just spoken with her father and finally learned the full story. Her attitude had changed completely — she was now officially calling Rorschach "Captain," showing that she had decided to join his crew.
"I fulfilled your request. That means from now on, you belong to me, right?"
Rorschach gently lifted her chin and spoke in a deep, affectionate voice.
"Mm."
Viola nodded shyly.
Rorschach leaned in and kissed her.
"Mm~~"
Viola closed her eyes and responded awkwardly.
Rebecca watched from behind, her face red. Kyros had already turned away, while King Riku watched the scene with a satisfied expression. To him, it was a good thing that Viola had someone like Rorschach.
"I didn’t expect you to come here to help this country!"
Rebecca looked at Rorschach with newfound respect. Her attitude toward him had clearly improved, and she no longer held a grudge about what happened earlier.
"So you’re not resisting anymore?"
Rorschach teased with a 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 and leaned his face close to hers.
"Mr. Rorschach~~"
Rebecca’s face turned bright red. She was too embarrassed to look him in the eye.
The toy soldier below was suffering in silence.
"Toy soldier, could you go find King Riku for me?"
"We’ll need his 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.
Now only Rorschach and Rebecca remained.
Rebecca looked a little awkward. Rorschach’s earlier actions had made her extremely shy.
"Mr. Rorschach... were you serious about what you said earlier?"
Rebecca asked shyly, her face flushed.
"About what?"
"About... you coming here for me..."
Rebecca’s voice was barely audible.
"If you think it’s real, then it’s real."
Rorschach smiled as he gently patted her head.
Rebecca’s face turned even redder.
Just then, 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 army, and the soldiers welcomed him warmly.
The army began purging the remaining Donquixote Family members. At Rorschach’s request, they were only temporarily imprisoned — they would make excellent free labor once they reached Dragon Roar Island.
In the factories, King Riku also rescued Princess Mansherry of the Tontatta Kingdom.
Rorschach returned her to the Tontatta, which made the dwarves extremely grateful.
At the same time, King Riku publicly revealed Doflamingo’s conspiracy. With the testimonies of the former toys, the people of Dressrosa fully believed him and fiercely condemned Doflamingo.
The Tontatta also formed an alliance with the Riku family.
Dressrosa officially withdrew from the World Government and became an affiliated force under Rorschach’s protection.
Having the protection of a true Emperor was far better than relying on the Marines. They no longer had to pay the Heavenly Tribute.
They only needed to pay a percentage of their profits to Rorschach.
Time passed. A few days later.
Rebecca had fully integrated into the crew.
During this time, Rorschach had also claimed both Viola and Baby 5.
Today was a special day.
The Summit War had begun.
Rorschach had already packed up all of Doflamingo’s executives.
"Rorschach, you have to be careful. This war isn’t simple. I don’t know what you’re planning, but your life comes first. If anything feels wrong, prioritize your safety."
Nami spoke seriously as she straightened his collar and lightly kissed his cheek.
"Don’t worry. You still don’t know how strong I am? Just wait for me to come back."
Rorschach gently rubbed her head.
"I’m leaving. I’m counting on you all here."
"Mm. Leave it to us."
"Lord Rorschach, have a safe journey!"
Shirahoshi waved worriedly.
Rorschach waved back, then sat on Little Silver’s back with the captured executives and took off.
Marine Headquarters — Marineford.
All the Marines were on high alert.
On the execution platform, Ace knelt in silence. Beside him stood Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Hero Garp.
Below the platform stood the three strongest fighters of Marine Headquarters — Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru.
Further ahead were eight giant Vice Admirals and countless Marine soldiers.
At the very front, guarding the harbor, were the five Warlords of the Sea.
Only five Warlords had shown up. That was to be expected.
"Hoo... Good, I’m not late. This is an excellent spot to watch the show."
Rorschach and Little Silver floated high above Marineford at an altitude of ten thousand meters. From below, they only looked like a small black dot.
Thanks to Little Silver’s enhanced vision, Rorschach could clearly see everyone below, even their facial expressions.
"It’s really huge... This is completely different from the manga. This is a real battlefield."
Rorschach’s eyes burned with excitement as he looked down.
The sight stirred something deep inside him — a long-suppressed fighting spirit.
Below him were countless heroes and the highest-level combatants of the Marines. He really wanted to jump in and fight.
The corners of Rorschach’s mouth slowly curled upward. From the moment he saw Fleet Admiral Sengoku all the way to the Warlords at the front, his grin had grown so wide it nearly reached his ears.
It was the smile of a demon.
As if sensing his excitement, Little Silver snorted out red dragon aura and lightning from its nostrils. Its eyes sharpened, looking just as eager to fight.
At that moment, Mihawk suddenly looked up toward the sky.
His eyes stared directly in Rorschach’s direction.
"Oh? He noticed me? As expected of Hawkeye... his eyes really are sharp. Even Sengoku and Garp haven’t noticed me yet, but a swordsman’s perception is this sensitive?"
Rorschach raised an eyebrow with interest.
Mihawk truly lived up to his name. His hawk-like eyes could see through people’s weaknesses and the true nature of things. Combined with his sharp Observation Haki, he could detect anyone watching him.
Below, Mihawk frowned and continued staring toward the sky for a long time before slowly lowering his head.
"What’s wrong, Hawkeye? You look a bit strange."
Doflamingo stuck out his tongue with his usual sleazy expression.
