"Before dawn, I want you to hand over a 'ransom' of 10 billion Berry, otherwise, I will lead people to break through this country and make this place a paradise for pirates, 咈咈咈咈咈!"
ransom?
Of course, they held the entire country hostage for ransom!
A mere 10 billion Berry is actually not Doflamingo's real purpose.
If he had revealed his true purpose from the beginning, King Riku would never have followed his pre-designed script anyway.
But as long as he takes advantage of King Riku's 'weakness', the opponent will become a puppet in his hands.
"10 billion Berry?! Impossible! Even if the entire national treasury is emptied now, it will not be able to come up with so much money."
King Riku said firmly.
And of course Doflamingo knew that the other party couldn't get it out, because he specially chose this special time point after paying the heavenly gold!
"There are still 6 hours before dawn. After 6 hours, countless pirates will come here."
"Can you imagine the scene at that time? This country will be completely looted, men will be massacred, women will be abused wantonly, even children will not be spared."
"Doflamingo! You're not human at all!"
King Riku's eyes were about to burst into flames with anger.
"There are less than 6 hours left. If I were you, I would hurry up and find a way to collect the 10 billion Berry. At least at dawn, you can keep your country and people."
"Oh, that's right. Remember to keep it secret. After all, Qiwuhai's privilege is quite useful, you should understand what I mean."
King Riku suddenly calmed down, and then said in a word: "Doflamingo, you will definitely go to **** after you die!"
"Now, let your people stop immediately, and I will bring back 10 billion Berry before dawn."
After speaking, he turned around and walked outside the palace.
This time, Doflamingo didn't stop him again, but laughed out loud without concealing it.
After receiving the instructions, Abel and the others immediately stopped their attack, turned around and evacuated without hesitation.
King Liku quickly regrouped his army and came outside the palace.
"Immediately remove the loudspeaker equipment used for commentary in the bullfight arena and send it to the square."
This was the first order from King Riku.
"The rest listen up, now I ask you to do one thing as a king"
When King Riku finished the second 'order', he couldn't help showing a dazed look.
Although the soldiers were puzzled, they could only follow suit.
Because King Riku has never let them down since he took office.
So they immediately dispersed in twos and threes and went to various places.
After a while, King Riku, who came to the plaza alone, began the speech he regretted most in his life.
". I hope everyone can lend me the money, please!"
King Riku fell to his knees, put his head on the ground, and begged every citizen with the most sincerity.
Because the real reason could not be revealed, he could only rely on his own identity and reputation to forcefully gamble.
As long as he can overcome the current difficulties, he will definitely find a way to return the 10 billion Berry to every citizen as quickly as possible.
And under his extremely urgent and sincere plea, the citizens who didn't know the truth woke up from their sleep, although some people chose to remain silent and didn't care.
But most of them still chose to believe in King Riku and donate generously.
Seeing that so many people are willing to believe in him, just because of his words, they will take out their savings and tide over the difficulties together.
To be honest, King Riku was so moved that he choked up.
I can only thank them over and over again, and at the same time swear in my heart that I will protect Dressrosa and prevent it from being invaded by pirates.
But what he didn't know was that he had hit the enemy's trick in doing so!
The better he does relying on his fame, the harder he will fall later.
"Please help the King."
"Needless to say, please take the money and hand it over to King Riku for us. Although I don't know what happened, but there must be no other way, and King Riku is so earnest I ask everyone to lend a helping hand.”
"Thank you for your understanding. Please sign this IOU. After the difficulties are over, Lord Riku will return every sum of money."
Conversations like this suddenly happened in front of every household in the streets and alleys.
Those who are willing to lend money do not need to go anywhere at all. Soon there will be soldiers from the kingdom to collect the money and transport it to the palace.
Then the IOUs with numbers written one by one and stamped with the king's seal were sent to each lender.
This is equivalent to using the king's reputation as a guarantee.
And this kind of strong guarantee has also made many people who are still vacillating finally make up their minds.
More and more money was concentrated in the palace.
If this momentum continues, crowdfunding to 10 billion Berry before dawn is a miracle that is entirely possible!
But will Doflamingo just watch this miracle happen?
"Ah! Killing people! These soldiers are killing people and stealing money!"
Suddenly, a scream kicked off the tragedy.
Chapter 545 Killing and punishing the heart! (34 guarantees, please subscribe!)
"No, I didn't do it"
puff!
A soldier panicked and stabbed the sharp sword in the heart of a civilian, and the blood that was pulled out directly stained his cheeks red.
And this is just the beginning.
"Benson, what are you doing? Are you crazy?!"
The companion looked at the former enthusiastic friend in disbelief, and immediately rushed forward to stop him.
The result was that the sharp blade pierced his body directly.
"Benson, you."
"I didn't do it, I really didn't do it, I can't control myself"
Benson broke down in tears.
However, Benson is not the only soldier who is 'involuntary'.
Many soldiers suddenly waved butcher knives at the people they were protecting!
When more and more innocent people were killed, the original trust was instantly shattered!
Panic immediately began to spread to every area.
People were forced to take up all the weapons they could find around them to resist these soldiers who burned, killed and looted.
As for those words such as 'I can't control myself', people who are in anger and panic can't believe it at all.
All they could understand was that King Riku was forcing them to do these things.
How can a person be so shameless and cruel in order to make money? !
Countless people began to curse King Liku, frantically using all the dirty words they could think of on that man who was only thinking about the country.
"How could this be, how could this be."
"Doflamingo, it must be you! I know you must be playing tricks!"
The originally good situation collapsed in an instant.
His own soldiers and the citizens he guarded actually fought together, which made King Riku almost collapsed and sat on the ground.
However, his body suddenly picked up the butcher knife on the ground
At this time, he finally realized that he had fallen into a trap carefully designed for him by the other party.
What Doflamingo wants is definitely not the 10 billion Berry, but to destroy his reputation and honor overnight, and nail him to the pillar of shame in Dressrosa forever!
In fact, King Riku didn't deserve to lose.
After all, this plan has been prepared for almost two years from preparation to implementation.
The rings are interlocking, and the inside should be combined with the outside.
All that needs to be done now is to reap the fruits of victory.
In the chaos, each cadre of the Don Quixote family is responsible for an area and controls the situation.
In order to ensure that the expected results in the plan can be achieved.
When people died in each area, how many people died, and how to "shut up" the soldiers who wanted to explain clearly, there are all opinions.
For this reason, there are still many peripheral members of the family who are constantly fishing in troubled waters, stirring up public opinion.
After the situation deteriorated to a certain extent, Doflamingo finally began to bring people to finish.
And as the savior, he made his debut!
All family cadres, including Abel, lined up on both sides of Doflamingo, and then cleaned up all the executioners and soldiers who were slaughtering people along the way.
Saved countless lives.
Then the "Tuo" who had been prepared for a long time immediately began to tell the identity of Copdo Flamingo to the people around him, focusing on mentioning the official identity recognized by the world government of Shichibukai, weakening the negative impact of the pirate identity.
"It was Doflamingo who saved us, saved this country!"
"We should thank Master Doflamingo!"
"It would be great if Master Doflamingo could stay forever."
"Yes, let King Riku step down! He is not worthy to be the king of Dressrosa!"
"I propose to make Lord Doflamingo the new king of Dressrosa"
. . . . . .
Wave after wave of public opinion was stirred up, and the instigator of all this, Doflamingo, was obviously in a good mood, with a never-ending smile on his face.
Next, a little shock is needed, so that King Riku can realize what "public opinion cannot be violated" and honestly hand over the throne.
Things have progressed here, basically the dust has settled.
Abel stared coldly at Dressrosa, who was completely in chaos. With the intervention of their Don Quixote family, order was restored, accepting everyone's gratitude.
I have to admit that Doflamingo's level is ten thousand times higher than that of the sand crocodile in terms of stealing the country.
clever!
Wonderful!
After today, King Riku's rule will be completely history.
And Doflamingo will naturally become the new king here!
The kind that even the world government and navy can't fault.
After spending a lot of time quelling the disturbance they had single-handedly provoked, Doflamingo and his party brought the stooped and aged King Riku back to the palace.
All the soldiers of the Kingdom Army dropped their weapons, and those who dared to resist were killed on the spot.
In order not to let innocent blood continue to flow, King Riku simply asked everyone to give up resistance.
"Wise choice."
"It's dawn now, King Riku, where is the 10 billion Berry I want?"
In the palace, the main hall that originally belonged to the king has been completely occupied by members of the Don Quixote family.
Standing below like a prisoner, besides King Riku, was his wife and a daughter.
Why only one daughter?
