Chapter 95 / Chapter 96
"Aunt, I just glanced at the information, and this Chris is very young, only about 19 years old."
He shook his head slightly, smiling wryly, and said, "Even if he started Cultivation from a young age, how many years could he possibly Cultivation?"
"Doflamingo is around thirty-eight years old, twice as old as Chris, and has undoubtedly Cultivation for much longer."
"Based on this calculation, Chris is definitely no match for Doflamingo; the gap in their strength is still very, very large."
Rebecca smoothed her long pink hair, her smile sweet and lovely, and continued, "Although his bounty is terrifying, it doesn't reflect his strength at all."
"Perhaps the Navy felt he posed too great a threat, or that he had too much potential, so they deliberately exaggerated his bounty. That's also possible."

"In short, I personally believe that he is definitely no match for Doflamingo."
King Riku, taking over his granddaughter's words, looked at Viola and said seriously, "Rebecca is right, this young man's strength is quite impressive."
"But Chris is no match for that bastard Doflamingo. How could he possibly push Doflamingo to that point?"
"Therefore, Viola, the information you received is unreliable and has no factual basis whatsoever."
Viola wasn't surprised that King Riku and Rebecca would contradict her; in fact, she found it quite normal.
After all, Chris is so young. If someone else had told her this, her first reaction would have been...
I definitely won't believe it!!
"Actually, at the beginning, I also had doubts and thought it was impossible."
Viola looked at the two of them, her expression grave, and said, "However, I've often heard Doflamingo mention Chris lately."
"And every time it was mentioned, although he acted arrogantly and Haki, I still noticed a hint of fear in his eyes."
"Just yesterday, Doflamingo mentioned Chris again, and I happened to be hiding outside the Royal Palace at that time."
"You know my Devil Fruit Ability; it allows me to see through all lies."
"At that moment, I read Doflamingo's inner thoughts."
Viola's beautiful eyes sparkled, and her exquisitely pretty face showed an expression of extreme excitement as she quickly said something.
"Damn brat, how did such a monster appear on the sea? Even I am no match for him."
"Look at his 'Shinra Tensei', it's practically Absolute Defense. With my ultimate move—16 Holy Bullets— God Thread —there's no way I can break through his defense."
"Where did this brat come from? We've sent people to search several times, but we can't find a single trace of him. He's really mysterious."
"But his willingness to cooperate with me is absolutely fantastic. If we form Alliance, I won't have to be so afraid of that bastard Kaido anymore, fufufufufu..."
Viola gently brushed a strand of black hair from her forehead and said with a smile, "It was only after this experience of spying that I became absolutely certain of one fact."
"Doflamingo is no match for Chris!!"
(Someone in the book review section is speculating again, saying it's a ship that ate Devil Fruit. This answer is close, but there are still some differences. The answer will be revealed in a few chapters. Anyway, it's a very powerful ship, no need to say more (* ̄ ̄).) 10.
Chapter 95
Shock.
I was extremely shocked.
The room was completely silent; there wasn't a sound.
Rebecca and King Riku were truly shocked.
The two of them were very clear about Viola's abilities.
The Paramecia Glint-Glint Fruit allows her to instantly read the thoughts of anyone within her line of sight.
It's practically a secret-peeping marvel!!
"If that's the case, then so Doflamingo are indeed no match for Chris."
King Riku shook his head, his weathered face filled with shock, and murmured, "But this is far too astonishing!"
"How can such a young brat like Chris possess such terrifying strength? How did he do it?"
"This... this is absolutely unbelievable!!"
Rebecca looked at Viola, her flawless face also showing surprise, and quickly said something.
"He's so young, yet so powerful; it can only mean that his talent for Cultivation is absolutely extraordinary."
"Moreover, he must be a very hardworking person; otherwise, he absolutely could not have done it with just exceptional talent."
"Terrifying, this young man is absolutely terrifying."
Rebecca blinked her beautiful eyes, a look of intense curiosity on her pretty face, and said with great longing, "I really want to meet a young man like that."
"He's truly extraordinary; I've never heard of such an outstanding young person before!"
Viola looked at Rebecca, her eyebrows arched, and she smiled gently, teasing her.
"Oh dear..."
"Our beautiful Rebecca has actually fallen for a man! That's quite a rare thing!"
"Tsk tsk, I really envy Chris. To be able to win the favor of such a stunning beauty is just too much to bear."
Rebecca rolled her eyes at her and said irritably, "Aunt, you're always making fun of me, hmph~~"
"I don't know anything about his personality, whether he's easy to talk to, so how could I possibly fall for him?"
Rebecca's beautiful eyes darted around, revealing a sly glint. She said "Oh," nodded, and looked as if Satori.
"I understand, I understand everything."
"Aunt, I think you've finally fallen for him. Am I right? Hehe~~"
"You've been researching him and you seem to know him so well, I don't believe there's nothing fishy going on here!"
King Riku tapped on his desk, coughed, and gave a reminder.
Then he looked at Violet and asked doubtfully, "Chris is better than Doflamingo, but what does this have to do with us?"
"Do you intend to use Chris's power to bring down Doflamingo, is that it?"
Upon hearing King Riku's words, Rebecca's beautiful eyes lit up, and she looked at Viola with curiosity and an incredulous expression.
"Aunt, you wouldn't really be like what Grandpa said, would you?"
"Please, Chris, help us eliminate the Donquixote Family."
"Wouldn't that be very dangerous?"
Rebecca shook her head slightly, her long, delicate eyebrows furrowed, and said in a serious tone, "What if he doesn't help us and instead tells Doflamingo about it?"
"Then you're in trouble, sister. Doflamingo will definitely not let you off the hook."
Viola smoothed her hair and said with a smile, "Yes, that's exactly what I think."
"The Donquixote Family is far too powerful; there's no way we can defeat them."
"No matter how much we endure and secretly accumulate strength, whether it takes three years or five years, it's all the same."
Viola sighed and said with a wry smile, "Doflamingo's power is simply too immense."
"Although we are getting stronger and our strength is gradually improving, we simply can't keep up with their speed. As time goes by, this gap will only widen."
"In the end, there was nothing we could do. The country was truly under their control, and there was no other possibility."
Viola looked at the two of them, her expression becoming extremely serious, and said firmly, "Father, Rebecca, we must rely on external forces."
"Believe me, this decision is absolutely the right one!!"
Silence.
King Riku and Rebecca both fell silent and did not respond immediately.
The entire room was completely silent; there wasn't a single sound.
After a while, King Riku leaned back and sighed heavily, his aged face filled with a look of desolation.
"What you're saying, Father is well aware of as well."
"But what can we do? Faced with such a terrifying opponent, we can only hide underground and secretly develop our strength."
"We have no other good options besides this."
King Riku shook his head, then, slightly rousing himself, looked at Viola and frowned, asking, "What you said does make sense; we must use external forces, seek help from others..."
"But the crucial question is, have you figured out Chris's situation?"
"What if he helps us drive away the Donquixote Family, but then refuses to leave?"
"By then, there will be absolutely no chance of anyone being able to save Dressrosa."
Rebecca nodded, looking at Viola with great concern, and said, "Aunt, let's think of another way, see if there's anyone else who can help us."
"Chris seems too mysterious to me, and we don't know him well, so let's not ask him for help."
"Aunt, your safety is the most important thing. I will not allow you to do anything risky."
Viola waved her hand slightly, a relaxed expression appearing on her exquisitely beautiful, classical face, and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I would never do something I'm not sure I can do."
"As for danger, there won't be any at all."
"When the time comes, I'll contact Chris. I won't go in person; I'll have my Death Squad communicate with him first and see how things go."
Viola leaned back, crossed her legs, and smiled, saying, "That way, Chris will have absolutely no chance of guessing my identity."
"If things can be resolved through negotiation, that would be ideal. If not, it won't cause any major problems or harm."
"Anyway, you two can relax, there won't be any problems, not even the slightest one."
Hearing Viola's confident words, Rebecca and King Riku exchanged glances.
According to Viola, there is indeed no risk involved, and there is absolutely no problem.
But all of this is just Viola's own idea. Will things really go as smoothly as she says?
What if Chris discovers her identity, or something else happens?
Such a situation is possible.
The two still felt it was inappropriate and didn't want Viola to take any risks.
(These two chapters focus on Dressrosa, as it's a major plot point, so I've written more about it. In the next chapter, a new plot will begin, featuring a beautiful, Gentle woman from the East Blue with green hair. Can you guess who she is? ( ̄ ̄).)
Chapter 96
"Viola, your father knows you are not a reckless person, and he knows that you must have been prepared for this before you could say these words."
King Riku frowned and said with utmost seriousness, "Your father does not recommend that you try it, after all, things are unlikely to go as smoothly as you say."
"However, even if I stop you, I'm sure you'll still contact Chris."
"In that case, let's do it your way."
King Riku looked at Viola and said earnestly, "Regardless of whether things succeed or not, protecting yourself is the most important thing, understand?"
Viola nodded emphatically, her eyebrows curving into a sweet and Gentle smile, and said happily.
"Father, don't worry, your daughter isn't that foolish. She'll take good care of herself."
Rebecca looked at Viola, frowned her pretty brows, shook her head gently, and said with a wry smile, "Aunt, to be honest, I don't want you to do that."
"But since Grandpa has already said that, I can't say much more, so I won't stop you."
"However, Aunt, you must be extremely careful when you contact them. You absolutely must not let your identity be discovered."
Viola rolled her eyes at her and said reproachfully, "When has your Aunt ever made a mistake?"
"Don't worry, I'll be very careful, I definitely won't be discovered."
