Chapter 85 The old king dies and the new king ascends the throne

When the Beasts Pirates, who were still celebrating the next morning, received the news of the death of King Riku, the originally lively atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

"When did it happen?" Kaido frowned and took a sip of wine. The relationship between the Beasts and Dressrosa has always been very good, and this is all thanks to the wise ruling attitude of King Riku. Even the Iron Islands under their feet were obtained with the recommendation of King Riku. Otherwise, the Beasts would definitely not be able to develop so smoothly. It is possible that they would take jobs everywhere for development, but what is the job in the New World? Isn't it just plundering or fighting everywhere? That runs counter to Kaido and Lily's dream. Maybe Kaido is eager to fight, but he hates war. Fighting is his own business, but war is not. No matter what, war is always the last resort. If the Beasts are in war for a long time, will they forget their original intention? (Kaido had shouted about why we had to fight in his memories.)

"Last night, the prince sent me to deliver a letter to Mr. Kaido and Ms. Lily." The envoy bowed respectfully. He was the eunuch of the king and the prince, and he knew what Dressrosa relied on to become prosperous again, so his respect for Kaido and Lily was absolutely from the bottom of his heart.

"Okay, we got it. Please go back and tell Prince Riku that we express our condolences, but because of our status, we cannot attend the funeral openly. Please forgive us." Lily was telling the truth. Although cooperation with pirates is common in this world, it cannot be brought to the surface after all, especially as a member of the World Government Conference. The World Government will send people to attend the funeral of the old King Riku. Although the World Government does not care about these member states, they will still pretend to do so in order to consolidate their rule and Tianshangjin. The Beasts cannot hand over the handle to the World Government, so they can only find time to pay tribute after the funeral.

"It's okay. Prince Riku has already thought of this. The main purpose of his visit this time is not only to inform you of this matter, but also to tell you that the contract between Dressrosa and the Beasts will not change because of the death of King Riku. If you are worried, Prince Riku said that he can sign a new one after he succeeds to the throne."

"No need. We believe in Prince Riku. Go back and help convey that as long as Dressrosa does not break the alliance, our Beasts will always be Dressrosa's ally." Kaido put the wine gourd in his hand on the ground with a thud and said solemnly.

"Okay, then I'll take my leave first." The envoy bowed and prepared to leave.

"Don't you want to stay for dinner?"

"No, I'm the king's eunuch. There are too many things the royal family needs to do now, and I need to go back to help."

"Okay, then I won't send you off. So, Azu, you follow me. You don't have a wanted order, so put down our flag. You must ensure the envoy's safe return to the country. Do you understand?" Kaido glanced at Azu next to him and said.

"Understood, boss. If the envoy loses a hair, I will come to see you with my head." Azu stood up and patted his chest to promise.

"Okay, go quickly." Kaido waved his hand, and then left with a gloomy face. This banquet ended in such an anticlimactic way.

Kaido, who was sitting in the room, was drinking alone. At this time, the door behind him was pushed open.

"Lily, you're here." Kaido didn't look back and continued to drink.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Lily walked to Kaido and sat down.

"Ah, he's only in his fifties, I didn't expect him to die like this." Kaido sighed, his voice filled with loneliness. He still remembered that when they first met, he didn't like King Riku, or he didn't like all the nobles, but King Riku's generous character made Kaido accept him, especially later, when he successfully conquered the Iron Islands, King Riku grabbed the soil and cried, that kind of real emotion was definitely not acted.

"Birth, aging, illness and death are the normal state of human beings. King Riku's body is probably due to the fatigue of these years. I heard before that before the return of the Iron Islands, King Riku only slept four hours a day in order to stabilize the economy of Dressrosa. The long hours of work caused the root of the disease. It's a pity that I didn't find it earlier, otherwise, there should be hope." Lily also sighed. King Riku's strong body confused her, so that Lily never thought that King Riku's body was actually strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

"Let Baique keep an eye on it. If anyone dares to cause trouble during this period, we will kill him. We can't help the dead King Riku, but we can help Prince Riku if we can." Kaido took another sip of wine and said with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I've already given the order." Lily took out a wine pot from her four-dimensional pocket and took a sip, but this time Lily's action made Kaido blush a little.

"Okay, you still understand me." Kaido smiled and said nothing more. He continued to drink. The two of them just snuggled together and watched the tides rise and fall outside the window.

Of course, under this harmonious picture, there is still a little discord. At this time, there are several discordant figures in the woods under the window.

"Are the big brother and the big sister leaning against each other?" Dai extinguished the flames on her body, and her body was covered with vines and green leaves. She lurked in the woods and observed Kaido and Lily above.

"It should be. The angle is not very good and I can't see clearly." Quinn tried his best to shrink his body to prevent being exposed because of his overly fat body. The camouflage cloak he made was still too small, so he went back to make it bigger.

"Keep your voices down, you two. I can't hear you." Xia Ji turned into a scorpion, half-hiding in the ground, hiding her body.

"Don't release your observation Haki, or you'll be discovered." Taylor, who turned into a crocodile, completely hid in the ground, leaving only his head outside, like a broken piece of wood.

"Jin, can you see it over there?" Dai whispered to one side.

"No, I can't see it." Jin disguised himself as a big stone through the big turtle transformed by the Xuanwu fruit. Jin didn't like to join in the fun, but was dragged by Dai, and he was also a little curious, so he came over half-heartedly.

"Luke didn't come. If he came, he would definitely find a good position." Quinn has been taking Luke with him every day recently, because he found that Luke's unreasonable luck is too useful. When he was doing experiments, Luke was by his side, and his success rate increased by 20 percentage points.

"Luckily, Archaon and Azu didn't come, otherwise we would have been exposed directly." Xia Ji complained. Archaon was too big, and Azu was too noisy.

"Why didn't Caroline come?" Dai asked. She had already reserved Xia Ji and Caroline as her companions. Kaido and Lily said that each of the three disasters was responsible for four twelve hours, so Dai chose Caroline and Xia Ji. After all, the strength of these two people had reserved two twelve hours. They had always been very good to Xia Ji. Quinn, who vaguely regarded Xia Ji as a sister, wanted to compete with Dai, but unfortunately failed.

"She was called away by Master Thorin. She wanted to come at first." Xia Ji replied.

"Really? It seems that she will also participate in extra training." A voice suddenly sounded.

"Extra training, that's right..." Xia Ji didn't react for a while.

"Hmm!" XN

Everyone looked up at the same time, only to see Kaido and Lily leaning against the balcony looking at them, and even waving to say hello to them.

"You guys are quite free, right? In that case, everyone, come with me to train this afternoon!" Kaido looked at them with amusement. He felt something was wrong just now, but he didn't think much about it. But then Quinn's flesh leaked out from under the camouflage cloth, and Kaido used his observation Haki to scan it and found that there were so many people hiding in this small forest. It was really hard for them.

"No!" XN
