"???"
Orleans Kingdom In the palace hall, the other party unexpectedly said "I don't know you" and cut off the call. Okrus III was immediately filled with questions.
"Did you dial the wrong number just now?"
After a short period of sluggishness, Okrus III refused to give up and dialed Den Den Mushi again.
However, this time, Den Den Mushi was directly unable to connect.
"What's going on?"
Okrus III was a little panicked and looked up at the two ministers Luke and Koren, "Chamber of Power is... hiding from me?"
"Damn it, do they know that Doflamingo will come to the Orleans Kingdom?"
Koren's pupils shrank and he said nervously, "If this is the case, it's not that Doflamingo wants to deal with us, but that we have Holy Land somewhere, and they want to use Doflamingo to beat us!"
"Offend Holy Land?" Okrus III thought for a while, shook his head and said, "How dare we offend Holy Land? Last year when Celestial Dragons came to collect Heavenly Gold, our hospitality was very comprehensive! We provided slaves and gave them double Heavenly Gold..."
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty."
At this moment, panicked sounds suddenly came from outside the palace.
Immediately, a Royal Army soldier staggered into the hall, fell to his knees with a thud, and said out of breath, "Something is serious, go to Keen Village to collect it." Lord Captain who collected taxes and His Highness the Prince... were... executed... by Colonel Dunn... from 135 Marine Base!"
"What!"
The sudden bad news made Okrus III's eyes widen in an instant, and he immediately walked to the soldiers a few steps step by step, and said anxiously, "What on earth is going on? How could the navy... no, how dare they execute His Highness the Prince?"
"It's... it's because of Keen Village's bitch... a little girl!"
The soldier did not dare to shout out the word "untouchable" anymore, and continued with a trembling voice, "This little girl's name is Aqua. She and her mother are not the aborigines of Keen Village. They are refugees from another country. They fled to Keen Village about six years ago and settled down."
"Aqua?"
Luke, who was standing nearby, frowned slightly, and a past event from a few months ago flashed before his eyes.
At that time, he passed by Keen Village accidentally and saw a very beautiful young woman, so he wanted to take her as his own.
But what he didn't expect was that this young woman was very stubborn and would not obey her life or death.
In a rage, he asked several guards to knock him down and take possession of him by force.
However, he still underestimated the strength of this young woman, and before he could succeed, the young woman committed suicide in front of them.
Just when he felt disappointed and was about to leave Keen Village, a young woman ran into the room with a little girl. Faintly, he heard the little girl crying and the young woman's comforting voice.
Through the young woman's comforting voice, he heard the name "Aqua".
However, he had no interest at all at that time, so he didn't take it to heart and returned to the royal city with his guards.
Not long after, he was ordered to follow His Highness the Prince to his territory to collect taxes. He entered Keen Village again and saw the little girl named Aqua.
At that time, the little girl not only stood up to stop the Royal Army soldiers who were collecting taxes, but also shouted that she had an uncle named Navy Marshal.
No one present, including His Royal Highness, took Aqua's words to heart. He even asked two of his men to throw the little girl named Aqua into the cattle pen.
Thinking of this, Luke couldn't help but stand on his head.
Then, he quickly walked up to the soldiers and said in a deep voice, "What happened to this Aqua? Why did the Navy execute His Royal Highness the Prince, Captain and others because of him?"
"I--"
A flash of fear flashed in the soldier's eyes, and he couldn't help but think of everything that happened in Keen Village.
At that time, because he was running thin on the way, he sneaked out of the team and ran to a hidden place to open the gate.
But he didn't expect that his escape actually saved his life. When he saw the navy rushing into Keen Village with great momentum, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. So he kept lurking in the dark and watched from a distance.
After seeing the navy torture His Royal Highness to death with extremely cruel methods, and simply and brutally executing all the Royal Army soldiers, he dared not continue watching, so he ran away and ran back all the way.
After listening to the Royal Army soldier's story, Luke suddenly felt like the world was spinning for a while. He collapsed on the ground with a thud and said helplessly, "It's over, it's over. Aqua is actually... it's actually Navy Princess!"
"This... how is this possible? How could a pariah who fled to the Orleans Kingdom become Navy Princess!"
After a moment of confusion, Luke suddenly turned around, rolled and crawled to Okrus III, hugged Okrus III's thigh with both hands, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, save me."
After listening to the soldier's story about Okrus III, he felt like his own sky was falling. If what the soldier said was true, and the little girl named Aqua was really Navy Princess, then the appearance of Doflamingo was not an order from Holy Land, but an order from Navy Marshal.
At this moment, he finally knew why Holy Land didn't pick up his Den Den Mushi.
Because what they offended was Navy Marshal, who was decisive in killing and extremely protective of his shortcomings.
If Doflamingo comes under the order of Holy Land, they still have a glimmer of hope.
And if Doflamingo really came under the orders of Navy Marshal, they would have no chance of surviving!
"Get out of my way!"
Okrus III, who could not protect himself, was still in the mood to take into account the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers. He raised his leg and kicked Luke away. Then he faced the ministers and shouted hoarsely, "Who will tell me, what is going on? The navy must It is impossible to have the ability to predict the future. We knew in advance that His Highness the Prince would go to Keen Village. The reason why they appeared at Keen Village must be because someone had offended Aqua before!"
"Who is it? Come forward!"
Before the royal ministers could react, Koren immediately took a step forward, pointed at the hopeless Luke and said, "Your Majesty, this is Lord Luke!"
"Huh?" Okrus III suddenly had murderous intent in his eyes, "Tell me, what is going on!"
"If I remember correctly, Mr. Luke, who returned from Keen Village a few months ago, showed off something to us. He said that he found a beautiful young woman in Keen Village and took her by force. He also showed off to us that he didn't expect such a barren place to grow such a beautiful rose!"
"Koren, you are talking nonsense!"
Unexpectedly, Koren would add insult to injury at this time. Luke stood up suddenly as if reflecting on his past, and said angrily, "I didn't, I lied at that time. I didn't possess that young woman because she committed suicide..."
Just in the middle of speaking, Luke's pupils shrank suddenly, and then looked at Okrus III in horror, "Your Majesty, I..."
"You... you..."
Okrus III was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He pointed at "you" at Luke for a long time, and finally squeezed out a desperate word, "You killed me, Luke!"
After a slight pause, Okrus III suddenly ignited hope, and then said eagerly, "Come here, chop off Luke's head. I want to go and apologize to Navy Marshal in person!"
Following Ocruz's order, Commander Royal Army, who had been standing nearby, did not hesitate at all. He decisively drew his sword out of its sheath and slashed at Luke neatly.
However, the moment the long sword in his hand slashed down, it suddenly hovered strangely in mid-air, as if it was bound by something.
Immediately afterwards, an evil laughter came from outside the hall.
"Hey, go and apologize now? It's too late!"
Before he finished speaking, Doflamingo, wearing a pink coat and sunglasses, walked into the palace hall with his hands in his pockets, and the chilling evil voice clearly rang in the ears of everyone present.
"From now on, I will take over Orleans Kingdom!"
"You have no right to die!"
