"I wonder why I came with you..."
Stussy felt herself going crazy as she followed Shinra and his women to the Dressrosa Kingdom, yet she still did not run away.
Why did she do this?
Even she, herself, wasn't sure, as she just followed her feelings, yet if she could pick up one answer to answer that question, it was because she wanted to see him.
Yes, to see whether he could really do what he had declared.
Frankly, it was her first time to see someone as smart as him, turning the evil, reversing it into the righteous, and justice with just a few moments, yet as she thought of him as a naughty brat, who loved to impregnate women, unexpectedly, he said that he would clean up the mess that he had created.
"Why don't you say anything, you two?" Stussy looked at Carina and Robin, who had always worn their hijabs, which made her speechless, wondering whether they thought of her as a lesbian.
"....." 2x
Why didn't they say anything?
It was because the two of them knew that whatever they said to Shinra, it would be meaningless. He had made up his mind, and what they could do was to support him, yet even so, they also had to admit that he was reckless and careless, especially when the two of them were pregnant.
"There is no need to follow me, you know?"
"Are you crazy?"
"Of course, we will follow you. Do you want your children to become fatherless?"
"....."
Facing their anger, Shinra took a deep breath and apologized. "I am sorry for being selfish."
"...." 3x
"But I feel like I won't be able to sleep well if I think about how involved I've been in the innocent's death, or look at my children proudly later on, so let me be selfish this time."
The problem with the Arabasta Kingdom aside, as Shinra never thought to do anything to harm the innocents and even provided them with jobs as he tried to expand the business of the Baroque Works, the people of the Dressrosa Kingdom were different, as he had made them target him.
Yes, he did all of this to become someone who was trusted by the Five Elders, but for his conspiracy, it would take the lives of many, and frankly, he was quite uncomfortable.
'Even though it's better not to do anything...'
What he had to do was slowly, steadily, to grow his strength, and when he was sure, he would go out and fight many, using the Eye of Usurp, taking away everything, from the various Cipher Pol, the Marines, then everything on the World Government.
Still, all his plans would start when Luffy, the MC or the savior of this world, came out and fought the World Government. Since Luffy and his group fought the World Government, he would use the chance to take everything.
Frankly, he wasn't sure about the time, but for one thing, he knew that it should be about the time that Luffy went on the adventure and started his journey to become the Pirate King.
In other words, he had about two years to prepare.
There was a lot of time, and he could do that slowly as he had no need to fight one of the Four Emperors.
Still, when he thought of all the people in the Dressrosa Kingdom dying, killed by him, it made him quite uncomfortable.
Moreover, unlike a ninja, Kaido was a physical type of fighter, or rather, all the people in this world were straightforward instead of being a ninja, so even though his chances of victory were quite small, he didn't think that he would die.
"Then, do it, but promise me that you won't die," Robin said softly.
"Thanks."
"Dammit, you two!" Carina felt a little jealous of their trust. "If you die, then I will kill you, and kill myself!"
"...I won't die."
Shinra kissed their foreheads softly, then said, "Believe me, and it isn't like Kaidou will make a move on Dressrosa, and if that's the case, then I won't have to fight."
"Well, that's true..." 2x
There was a chance that Kaidou wouldn't make a move on the Dressrosa Kingdom, and if that was the case, then Shinra had no need to fight.
As for the fight between King Riku and the remnants of the Doflamingo Pirates, they didn't care much since Shinra had helped King Riku Doldo III and the residents of the Dressrosa Kingdom escape from Doflamingo, so naturally, it was impossible for Shinra to become their babysitter when they didn't even give him anything.
Was he cold?
No, he was just being pragmatic and realistic since there were many injustices in this world, and if he cared about all of them, then he would be stressed to death.
If people wanted to get their justice, whether they wanted to or not, they had to fight, struggle, and grit their teeth to break away from those chains that tightly wrapped them, almost suffocating them, and if they didn't want to do anything and just be lazy, waiting till the savior came, then it was naturally their faults if they loved in a misery.
Frankly, there was nothing right or wrong in the way people chose to live, whether it was to fight or just let themselves be oppressed, but he would fight, especially when he couldn't wait to return to the world of Naruto and take care of those bitches.
"So, Stussy, you are familiar with Kaido, right? Tell me everything about him."
"...."
Stussy looked at Shinra, who showed his determined and sincere eyes, feeling helpless, before she let out a hopeless sigh as she covered her beautiful face with her palms.
"...okay."
"Thanks."
Facing his happy smile, Stussy felt her heart beating so fast as she felt her chest was so tight. "Don't die, okay?"
"I won't."
Stussy didn't want Shinra to die, and because of that, she would support him.
Regardless, as Shinra was preparing, the Dressrosa Kingdom was filled with a gloomy and depressive atmosphere as they thought of the impending doom that was about to come to their kingdom.
Those who were smart and wealthy had already made their move to run away, leaving the kingdom, but for the poor and helpless, they could do nothing and just waited.
"Nothing will happen, right?"
"Hopefully..."
"Well, he is one of the Four Emperors. Why should he target our kingdom?"
While some thought that this kingdom was as good as gone, many still tried to escape from reality, thinking that nothing would happen.
"Your Majesty, we should go, too!"
"This place is too dangerous!"
"King Elizabello II had told us that we could come to his country!"
As his soldiers persuaded him to run away, King Riku Doldo III shook his head and said, "No, I can't leave. I won't leave my people, and even if I do die, then I will die in this land with everyone."
How could he run away?
If he ran away and left everyone to die due to Kaidou?
How could he have a face?
He had run away once, but this time, no more!
"Your Majesty..."
Everyone was at a loss, but they knew that they couldn't persuade their king.
"Also, I am not king."
Still, similarly, Violet, Rebecca, and Kyros never thought to run away.
Even if their destination was death, they had to fight since this was their home.
Yet, while all of them had resolved their will to fight—
Rumble Rumble! Rumble!
As the storm came, the kingdom was shrouded in a fearsome dark cloud that blocked all the lights, which made everyone tense and feel that something was about to come. They didn't know what it was, but they knew well that it got closer and closer until finally, they saw the figure that crushed all of their hope emerge from the shroud that covered their kingdom.
"WORORORORO! YOU THINK I WILL ROB THIS KINGDOM, RIGHT? THEN, YOU ARE WRONG! I WILL DESTROY THIS KINGDOM AND EVERYTHING!"
One of the Four Emperors, the Beast, Kaidou, arrived!
