Chapter 140 Dressrosa decades ago: In a word, poverty!
Dragged at rapidly by the Kraken, the black submarine warship, like a shooting star in the deep sea, broke through the oppressive darkness of the ten-thousand-meter-deep ocean at an unimaginable speed.
As seawater temperature gradually rises, the density and complexity of water currents also increase significantly.
This foreshadows their imminent departure from the deep sea and their return to that chaotic, unpredictable new world of ocean.
When the warship finally broke through the thick ocean currents and slowly surfaced, the blinding sunlight and the violent sea winds unique to the New World instantly filled the bridge.
Brian stood by the porthole, squinting as he adjusted to the long-lost light.
"Master, we have successfully arrived in the new world." Agni, the Fire Rat Girl, stood respectfully beside him and reported, her voice tinged with excitement.
In comparison, Agni still prefers life on the surface of the sea; the underwater world is too oppressive, and she simply can't stand it.
The other monster girls nearby, though not explicitly saying so, basically shared the same idea.
"Kuraken, you can go now."
Brian came to the side of the ship, looked at Kurakon, and gave the order to disband.
After receiving Brian's order to disengage, Kurakan's massive body swiftly sank into the deep sea like an eel, not daring to linger for even a moment, lest it be enslaved again by this terrifying master.
At this moment, it was so engrossed in its eight enormous tails that they were smoking, and it kept diving deeper, as if it wished it could grow a few more tails.
Poor Kraken, having finally emerged from its slumber to forage for food, only to encounter Brian and his terrifying crew. Instead of getting any food, it ended up doing a lot of hard labor for itself.
Brian's Observation Haki instantly covered the nearest island.
The island boasts unique and colorful architecture, brimming with the passion and exuberance of the Mediterranean, with the faint sounds of bullfighting and flamenco echoing in the air.
"Dressrosa?! I didn't expect you to end up here." Brian uttered the name with interest, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. Dressrosa was an important base for Doflamingo, the future Yaksha, and a country full of tragedy and intrigue.
It was still early, and Doflamingo's rule had not yet begun. This ancient country was still under the gentle rule of King Riku.
"Berlos, Agni, Flying Snow, Ella, come ashore with me. We need to replenish our supplies for sailing in the New World and also gather the latest intelligence."
"The other monster girls will remain with the pirate crew and can make their own decisions in case of any situation."
Brian looked at the monster girls behind him, pointed out four of them, and gave a concise command.
"Yes, Master!" the monster girl army replied in unison.
The black submarine made no attempt to conceal its presence, choosing instead to dock directly at the official port, announcing its arrival to the entire island.
Undoubtedly, the entire island erupted in excitement.
Especially when Brian, accompanied by two Mythical Zoan-type monster girls and two Ancient Zoan-type dragon girls, landed on the palace square with overwhelming force, King Riku and the others were quite frightened.
The appearance of the five of them was like a meteorite falling from the sky, instantly plunging the once peaceful palace into deathly silence.
Inside the royal palace, Riku Dold III, in the prime of his life, was handling routine state affairs. He was tall and exuded the composure and gentleness of a monarch.
But when the guards rushed into the hall in a panic and loudly announced the identity of the uninvited guests, King Riku's face turned deathly pale.
"The Rocks Pirates—a monster?!" King Riku's voice trembled.
He was well aware of the terror of the Rocks Pirates, especially Brian, who recently attacked Fishman Island and was listed by the World Government as one of the most dangerous pirates.
King Riku, without even having time to put on his royal robes, hurriedly led a few trusted ministers and ran quickly towards the square.
When he saw with his own eyes the tall, charismatic young figure standing in the square, and the several monster girls behind him radiating terrifying pressure, King Riku almost lost his footing.
Brian paid no attention to the reactions of King Riku and his ministers. He simply surveyed the palace as if he were looking for something.
Unfortunately, as time went on, he lost interest in the island; to him, there was nothing of value to collect.
In short, I'm poor!
Although Doflamingo did not treat the people on the island as human beings after taking over the island, and adopted a violent and ruthless rule.
However, it is undeniable that Doflamingo's arrival did indeed breathe new life into the ancient island of Dressrosa.
Agni took a step forward, and the scorching heat of the flames spread through the air, pressing down on the nerves of the surrounding guards.
"My lord Brian commands," Agni's voice was cold and powerful. "Immediately prepare the highest-grade naval supplies: top-quality fresh ingredients, pure drinking water, high-strength deep-sea alloys, and sufficient special fuel."
"Give us one hour. If there is any delay, or if the quality of the supplies does not meet the requirements, Dressrosa will be completely removed from the map of the New World."
One hour! To gather and transport such a huge amount of supplies within one hour is simply asking the impossible!
King Riku sensed the undisguised killing intent emanating from Agni and dared not resist. He knew perfectly well that what this woman said was no joke.
"Yes! Yes! Please rest assured, Mr. Brian! We will do it immediately!" King Riku, his forehead beaded with cold sweat, disregarded the dignity of a king and shouted incoherently.
He immediately ordered all ministers and the army to mobilize the nation's resources as quickly as possible, and the entire Kingdom of Dressrosa instantly fell into a chaotic yet highly efficient state of operation.
Unaware of the situation, the common people only knew that the royal family was transporting supplies at an unprecedented speed, and the streets were filled with panic and unease.
King Riku's gentle and frugal style of rule was instantly shattered by Brian's violence and efficiency.
Brian did not enter the palace; he simply stood quietly in the square with two mythical beast-type monster girls.
His very existence is the strongest deterrent to everyone in Dressrosa.
As for the two dragon maidens, Feixue and Ella, they were responsible for monitoring the loading and quality of the supplies. Their sharp eyes, typical of ancient species, made the officials in charge of transportation tremble with fear, and they dared not cut corners in the slightest.
In less than forty minutes, all the supplies—a total of more than a dozen truckloads of high-quality supplies—were accurately transported to the port, where they were gathered by the other monster girls and maids and placed into the ship's hold.
After everything was settled, Brian was about to leave when King Riku called him back at an inopportune moment.
