Chapter 544 A ransom of 10 billion Beli! (24 guaranteed, please subscribe!)
Abel was holding a silver pistol transformed from Baby-5, and from time to time he would kill soldiers who were a little higher level than ordinary minions.
In fact, with the strength of the Don Quixote family, it is extremely easy to subvert this country by force.
But this kind of thing is absolutely prohibited by the world government and navy!
Once the news about the Shichibukai stealing the country comes out, the Shichibukai system that the world government has spent so much time and energy on will immediately become a laughing stock and be despised by others.
Although it's not much better now, at least it's still in line with some people's inner bottom line.
Furthermore, what Doflamingo wants is for King Riku to take the initiative to hand over the country to his hands, which is perfect.
This requires a big drama.
And what they have to do is set up the stage.
Therefore, these soldiers can be killed, but not all of them, and they must be killed to make King Riku feel distressed.
So is King Riku feeling distressed at this time?
This question almost doesn't need to be asked.
King Riku is now dizzy. Under Doflamingo's trick, he can only watch his kingdom's army being unilaterally massacred by the Don Quixote family.
And he was no match for the opponent at all, and he couldn't run away even if he wanted to.
All the soldiers who came to him to report the situation were brutally killed by the other side.
"Look, it's easy for my people to break into the palace here."
"Doflamingo, what do you want?"
King Riku asked with great anger.
When Doflamingo heard this, the corners of his mouth immediately raised slightly, "10 billion!"
"Before dawn, I want you to hand over a 'ransom' of 10 billion berries, otherwise, I will lead people to attack this country and turn it into a paradise for pirates, blah blah blah!"
ransom?
Of course, the whole country is being held for ransom!
A mere 10 billion beli is not actually Doflamingo's real purpose.
If he had exposed his true purpose from the beginning, King Riku would never have followed his pre-designed script.
But as long as you take advantage of King Riku's 'weakness', the opponent will become a puppet in his hands.
"Ten billion berries?! Impossible! Even if we empty out the entire national treasury, we still can't get that much money."
King Riku said firmly.
Of course Doflamingo knew that the other party couldn't take it out, because he specifically chose this special time after paying the Heavenly Gold!
"There are still 6 hours before dawn. In 6 hours, countless pirates will come here."
"Can you imagine the scene at that time? This country will be completely looted, men will be slaughtered, women will be humiliated wantonly, and even the children will not be spared."
"Doflamingo! You are not human at all!"
King Riku's eyes were so angry that he was about to spit out flames.
"There are less than 6 hours left. If I were you, I would quickly find a way to collect these 10 billion berries. At least until dawn, you can still save your country and people."
"Oh, by the way. Remember to keep it a secret. After all, the privileges of the Shichibukai are quite useful. You should understand what I mean."
King Riku suddenly calmed down, and then said word for word: "Doflamingo, you will definitely go to hell after you die!"
"Now, tell your people to stop immediately. I will bring 10 billion Beli back before dawn."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the palace.
This time, Doflamingo did not stop him, but laughed loudly without concealing it.
After receiving the instructions, Abel and others immediately stopped the attack and turned around to evacuate without hesitation.
King Riku quickly reorganized his army and came outside the palace.
"Immediately dismantle the loudspeaker equipment used for commentary in the bullfighting arena and send it to the square."
This is the first order issued by King Riku.
"Listen up, everyone else. Now, as a king, I ask you to do something."
When King Riku finished saying this second 'order', everyone couldn't help but look blank.
Although the soldiers were confused, they could only follow the instructions.
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 came to the square alone and began the speech he regretted most in his life.
".I hope you can lend me money, please!"
King Riku knelt down, put his head on the ground, and begged every citizen with the most sincere attitude.
Since the real reason could not be revealed, he could only rely on his own identity and credibility to force the gamble.
As long as he can overcome the current difficulties, he will definitely find a way to return the 10 billion berries to every citizen as quickly as possible.
Under his extremely urgent and sincere plea, the citizens who did not know the truth woke up from their sleep and walked out, although some people chose to remain silent and did not take it seriously.
But most of them still chose to trust King Riku and donate generously.
Seeing that so many people were willing to believe in him, they would spend their savings to tide over the difficulties together just for his words.
To be honest, King Riku was so moved that he choked with tears.
I could only thank them over and over again, and at the same time, I swore in my heart that I would protect Dressrosa and prevent it from being invaded by pirates.
But what he didn't know was that he fell into the enemy's trick by doing so!
The better he does by relying on his fame, the harder he will fall later.
"Please help the King."
"Needless to say, please take the money and transfer it to King Riku for us. Although I don't know what happened, I must have had no other way. Only King Riku would be so sincere.
I’m asking everyone to lend a helping hand.”
"Thank you for your understanding. Please sign this IOU. When we get through this difficult time, Lord Riku will pay back every sum of money."
Conversations like this suddenly happened in front of every household on the streets.
Anyone who is willing to lend money does not need to go anywhere. Kingdom soldiers will soon collect the money and then transport it to the palace.
Then IOUs with numbers written on them and stamped with the king's seal were issued to each lender.
This is equivalent to using the king's credibility as a guarantee.
And this strong guarantee has allowed many people who were still wavering to finally make up their minds.
As a result, more and more money was concentrated in the palace.
If this momentum continues, it is completely possible to achieve a miracle by crowdfunding 10 billion Beli before dawn!
But will Doflamingo watch this miracle happen?
"Ah! Killing! These soldiers started killing people and grabbing money!"
