One Piece Seat Void - Chapter 213

New World, Phuket Island, after that deep crimson slash, was completely split in two, sinking into the sea.

One of the Three Mirage of the Locke’s Pirates, Ashes of Suzaku, along with Phuket Island, sank into the sea, their fate unknown.

This news reached Locke Pirates Captain Lox after he arrived at Dressrosa from the World Economic News. At this moment, the entire Dressrosa was trembling violently.

Invisible, raging gravity oppressed the entire Dressrosa, and all the residents on the island were panicking under this pressure.

In the square, Locke sat on a flowerbed, looking at the newspaper with a gloomy expression. In front of him, a bottomless pit with a diameter of over ten meters was telling the horrifying events that had just occurred.

“Red Baron, Redfield! Well done, you’ve thoroughly provoked me!” Lox threw away the newspaper and looked at the sky with a gloomy expression.

“I will make you understand that provoking the Locke Pirates will be the biggest regret of your life!”

“K-k-k…” The soldiers lying on the ground, suppressed by gravity, trembled continuously. They looked at Locke, who was emitting a violent aura of terror, not daring to move.

After all, the ten-meter-wide bottomless pit in front of them was the best warning. “Locke, can I take care of these guys? They’re so noisy, can I eliminate them?” Standing behind Locke like a bodyguard, Weevil looked at the soldiers, making their teeth chatter, disturbing his meal.

“Never mind, Weevil. We, the Locke Pirates, don’t bother with soldiers and civilians who pose no threat.” Lox waved his hand and rejected Weevil’s request.

“Leave now, all of you. I’m in a bad mood right now, so don’t bother me.” After saying that, Lox retracted his aura and abilities. As soon as Locke retracted his abilities, the residents of Dressrosa heaved a sigh of relief.

“Gone, Weevil.”

“Oh, I got it, Locke, boss.” The soldiers watched Lox’s departing figure and dared not breathe. It was only when Lox and Weevil had completely disappeared from their sight that they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Whew…”

“That was terrifying. I really thought we were done this time!”

“Right, I really thought I was going to die just now. Did you see that? Those troublesome pirates just turned cold in the blink of an eye.”
“No, I need to go home and pack up quickly. I don’t want to go through something like that again!” The soldiers talked nervously and quickly got busy.

Dressrosa, King’s Plateau. King Riku and his royal ministers were discussing the situation with serious expressions.

“Everyone, you must have all felt that terrifying oppression just now.”

“And according to the reports of the soldiers, it was caused by the captain of the Lox Pirates, Captain Lox.” Upon hearing Locke’s name, the royal palace hall suddenly became lively.

“Locke?! Has that Lox come to our country?”

“Is that guy, who emitted such a terrifying aura, planning to attack our country?”

“Damn it! Is he trying to completely destroy our country? Damn it! King Riku, I’m willing to lead the army to meet the enemy!”

“No, we mustn’t act recklessly until we’ve clarified the situation.”

“King Riku, on behalf of the entire Dressrosa Kingdom, please submit to the Locke Pirates in order to protect the kingdom!”

“Bastard! We’re members of the World Government. How can we submit to the Marines? Notify the Marines to send a high-ranking officer to help us!”

“Your Majesty!”

“Your Majesty!”

“Your Majesty!” With a headache, King Riku looked down at the ministers below and rubbed his forehead.

He never expected that just hearing a name would make his trusted ministers lose their ability to think and start quarrelling.

“Quiet!” Next to King Riku, a beautiful girl with long pink hair shouted. And under the girl’s words, the previously noisy council chamber suddenly quieted.

All the ministers raised their heads to look at the girl in a simple princess dress. And that girl, dressed as the Princess of the Dressrosa Kingdom, was Princess Scarlet.

“Everyone, when we don’t know the other party’s intentions yet, causing chaos like this is not the behavior expected of the trusted ministers of King Riku!”

Upon hearing Scarlet’s words, the ministers all felt ashamed and bowed heads. “Alright, everyone, raise your heads. It’s not shameful to be afraid of a strong enemy, but being fearful without a fight is shameful.”
Scarlet said, then walked down from the high platform. “Regardless of what the other side wants to do, we, the Dressrosa Kingdom, must be prepared.”

“Even if it means being destroyed together with the Dressrosa Kingdom.”

“Alright, next, I will visit the other party as the Princess of the Kingdom and find out their intentions.” When the ministers heard that Princess Scarlet was preparing to investigate the other party’s intentions, they panicked.

“No, Princess Scarlet! You are a noble princess of the country. How can you take such risks yourself!”

“Exactly! Please think twice, Princess!”

“Princess, please reconsider!” All the ministers knelt and looked at Scarlet with their heads lowered.

“Thank you for your concern, everyone. However, this is the responsibility I should bear as the Princess of the Kingdom.” After saying that, Scarlet lifted her long skirt and walked out of the hall.

Watching Scarlet leave, King Riku extended his hand but helplessly withdrew it. His eyes were filled with worry as he watched Scarlet leave.

“Sigh…” All the words ultimately turned into a helpless sigh.

Dressrosa, Colosseum.

Lox sat in the stands, watching the battles in the arena below while dialling a Transponder Snail.

“Barbossa, have you seen the latest news?”

“Yes, I’ve seen it. Hahaha, I didn’t expect that old man Redfield would declare war on us. I was surprised when I read the news.”

“Hmph, just an arrogant old man. Barbossa, send out all our informants. I want to know Red’s whereabouts within three days.”

“Haha, I got it, Captain Locke. By the way, should I send someone to look for Ashes?”

“No need. Ashes is one of the legendary beings said to survive in any environment. He won’t be taken down so easily. Alright, that’s it. As soon as you get information about Red, notify me.”

“I got it, Captain. Rest assured, hahaha.”

Hanging up the transponder snail, Locke looked at the battles below calmly. He watched as the undefeated general-like figure defeated one opponent after another.

“That guy must be Ulquiorra. He does indeed have potential.”
