At that moment, Violet immediately composed her expression.
Because she saw King Riku Doldo III and Kyros walking in.
Her legs under her skirt instinctively pressed together, fearing any mishap might occur.
King Riku Doldo III and Kyros both wore excited expressions on their faces.
Because while outside the door, they had overheard Lancelot's words.
Zoan - Ancient: Kong Form, Paramecia: Sticky-Sticky Fruit, Paramecia: Pop-Pop Fruit, Paramecia: Strong-Strong Fruit, and Zoan - Ancient Species: Emperor Crocodile Form.
Five fruits given out at once.
Two of the Zoan types were given to Rebecca and Kyros.
The other three Paramecia types were to enhance the kingdom's overall strength.
Such an extravagant gesture.
It completely stunned them, even though they were a king and a royal guard.
They had never witnessed such generosity...
From this perspective, Violet's suggestion to have Rebecca marry him was an extremely correct choice.
First, they agreed because Lancelot's strength was undeniable.
There was a sense of being coerced.
Second, Lancelot was the savior of their entire kingdom and their royal family.
So, they couldn't refuse...
Third, for the sake of the entire kingdom, having such a powerful Marine as a backer would make them much safer.
So, although they agreed, they still felt immense guilt toward Rebecca. After all, in their eyes, this was sacrificing Rebecca's happiness.
But now it seemed Rebecca might find happiness through this.
Look at the little expression on Rebecca's face—isn't that the best proof of a woman falling in love? Take another look at Lancelot's grand gesture.
Isn't this a reflection of his regard for Rebecca?
Otherwise, even as allies, there would be no need to offer so many Devil Fruits.
Thus, King Riku Doldo III and Kyros viewed Lancelot with increasing favor and satisfaction.
Seeing King Riku and Kyros enter, Lancelot immediately stood up, "Grandfather, Father-in-law... you've arrived. Please take a seat."
Since this was to be a public marriage alliance, the forms of address naturally had to follow suit.
King Riku and Kyros sat down with beaming smiles, their eyes fixed on the Devil Fruits before them.
With these Devil Fruits, if not to elevate the Dressrosa Kingdom, at least they could establish a foundation for the kingdom to stand firm in the New World.
At that moment, Lancelot's gaze fell upon Kyros's severed leg.
He added, "I will notify the Science Division of the Marine Headquarters to have them craft a mechanical leg for you, Father-in-law."
Pausing briefly, Lancelot then turned his attention to Caesar Clown.
"Of course, if you don't mind, this guy could attach an animal's leg or even a human leg for you."
"Attach a leg?"
King Riku, Kyros, Violet, and Rebecca all exclaimed in surprise.
...
After a series of maneuvers, Lancelot had thoroughly won the favor of King Riku and Kyros.
He also secured the unwavering loyalty of Violet and Rebecca.
Naturally, the affairs of the Dressrosa Kingdom were settled.
However, he still had one critical issue to resolve: Kaido.
Calculating the time, if he did not leave Dressrosa, and Kaido pursued him there, the entire kingdom would likely be reduced to ruins in their battle.
This was not what he wanted to see.
After all, Dressrosa was his first stronghold in the New World and the key to taking control of Doflamingo's underground network.
Thus, he sent Rebecca and Caesar Clown back to Whisky Peak on his warship, while he departed alone.
Violet immediately announced Lancelot's whereabouts to the world, along with the atrocities committed by Doflamingo in Dressrosa.
This sent shockwaves across the globe.
....
Marine Headquarters
Sengoku's face was dark with frustration.
Earlier, Vice Admiral Tsuru had speculated that Lancelot was going to cause trouble for Doflamingo.
Who would have thought he would act so swiftly and ruthlessly?
With Crocodile and Moria already fallen, three Shichibukai had now died at Lancelot's hands.
This gave Sengoku a massive headache.
However, as the Fleet Admiral, he reacted quickly and made a decisive move.
"Announce the Marines' stance to the world. Declare that Lancelot's actions were carried out under the orders of Marine Headquarters. Whether it was Crocodile, Moria, or Doflamingo, they all broke the rules first, and the Marines ordered their elimination."
Vice Admiral Tsuru nodded in agreement beside him.
Although Crocodile and Doflamingo were Shichibukai with "legal plundering" rights, there was a precondition: they could not target kingdoms affiliated with the World Government.
Thus, it was indeed these two who had broken the rules first.
"What about Moria?"
"He's just unlucky. With Crocodile and Doflamingo as examples, we can easily pin another charge on him without leaving any flaws."
As soon as the order was given, arrangements were immediately made.
Then Sengoku frowned again. "Where is that guy Lancelot now?"
Vice Admiral Tsuru shook her head. "That kid directly handed the warship over to Rebecca and left alone. Moreover, he prefers flying through the air, making it difficult to track his movements."
Garp laughed beside them: "Hahaha... I heard that kid managed to win over King Riku's princess. He's quite something!"
Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru both rolled their eyes at him.
However, they both had their own thoughts about this matter.
They couldn't help but exchange glances, somewhat helpless.
Vice Admiral Tsuru said, "Sengoku, since you've characterized these three incidents this way, it means that kid has made great contributions again. Now he's also married into King Riku's family. Presumably, King Riku will spare no effort in claiming credit from the World Government... Considering the face of the Riku Kingdom and his achievement of saving the entire nation..."
"I'm afraid the World Government will have no choice but to promote him to Vice Admiral!"
Hearing this, Sengoku's mouth twitched.
He had thought of this too.
But the most important thing now is to find this guy.
Kaido is still chasing after him!
If Kaido finds him first and Lancelot can't defeat Kaido and gets captured, it would be a huge blow to the Marines...
After all, during this period, Lancelot has been constantly causing trouble, and his popularity has hardly faded.
He's already been regarded by many Marines as the Marine's supernova... even compared to the three Admirals in their youth.
