Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman

Needless to say, the process of the banquet, Remos and Nami were the most handsome guys at the scene, and King Riku, who returned after ten years, was completely suppressed by them.

But King Riku himself obviously didn't care about this matter. On the contrary, he was happy to see Remos and Nami leave a deep impression on the crowd at the scene.

Halfway through the banquet, Nami and Violet were left at the scene, and Remos followed King Riku to the reception room at the back.

"Thank you for your help to this country. If it weren't for you, Dressrosa would not know how long it would be ruled by Doflamingo."

There were only two people left in the room. King Riku put down all his disguises and showed a tired expression.

He really had a lot of work these days.

Organize people to rescue those who were crushed under the buildings, and at the same time clean up all the collapsed buildings.

Distribute daily necessities so that those whose homes were destroyed can survive.

Maintain stability within the country and guard against people with ulterior motives.

The navy could not be relied on. With his return to the throne, the navy had basically withdrawn. He could only rely on himself for the rest of the work.

The officials he used very well had died or been injured ten years ago. He could not find enough available manpower in a short period of time, so he had to complete a lot of work by himself.

For such an old man who was not young anymore, it was naturally exhausting.

Fortunately, he had been honing his body in the bullfighting arena over the years, otherwise the high-intensity work in the past few days would have been enough to send him directly to the bed.

"Violet has said many times that she would like to thank you. King Liku doesn't have to be so polite."

Remos said with a smile.

"No, she said she said that as the king of this country, I must thank you in person."

King Liku shook his head, then stood up, walked to the bookcase next to him, opened a secret compartment, took out a small wooden box from it, and placed it in front of Remos.

With this size and shape, Remos immediately guessed what was inside.

King Riku opened the wooden box, and sure enough, there was a devil fruit inside.

The fruit looked like a large eggplant, but it was white with origami-like spiral patterns on it.

"Origami fruit, this fruit and Violaide's staring fruit, are treasures that have been passed down for many years in the Riku family. I originally planned to let Scarlett eat this fruit, but..."

King Riku paused here.

His eldest daughter, Scarlett, has always been a pain in his heart.

It's not because Scarlett fell in love with Cyrus, but because Scarlett died, died at the hands of Diamante.

Of course, because Scarlett married Cyrus, the fruit originally prepared for her can only continue to wait for the next destined person.

Now, he plans to give this fruit to Remos.

"The user of this fruit can turn into an origami man, use paper to attack, create various origami animals, and turn himself into countless paper. Although it is a superhuman devil fruit, it can do things similar to the natural devil fruit.

I have nothing else to thank you with. If it's money, you probably won't look down on it, so I can only use this devil fruit. I hope you don't dislike it."

King Riku said, gently stroking the devil fruit, and then gently pushed the fruit in front of Remos.

Remos looked at the devil fruit, but didn't take it immediately, but looked up at King Riku.

"I'm curious, since you still have a devil fruit in your hand, why didn't you eat it before? Violet's fruit has almost no combat power, but this one is different. If you eat the fruit earlier, you may have a chance to resist."

Of course, the possibility of a successful resistance is very small.

"I'm too old."

King Riku shook his head.

"When I was young, I also thought about eating the fruit, but since I would become afraid of sea water after becoming a power user, I didn't want to create obvious weaknesses for myself.

Later, I had two daughters, and I originally planned to let them eat the fruit.

But Scarlett was unwilling to eat the fruit just like me, and in the end, only Violet became a power user.

When Doflamingo invaded, I thought about eating the fruit to resist, but it was too late, and it was impossible to stop so many power users of the Donquixote family with only one origami fruit."

King Riku saw it very clearly and knew that resistance was futile, so it was better to keep a useful body and prepare for the future.

As for his choice, Remos couldn't say whether it was right or wrong. After all, Dressrosa had been peaceful and harmonious for so many years, and it was understandable that King Riku was not in a hurry to cash in the fruit for power.

"I can't use this fruit.Yes. "

Remos nodded, then shook his head, "This is the inheritance of your family, you keep it for yourself, and we all already have the fruit, one more fruit is useless.

After Doflamingo died, his String-String Fruit and Sugar's Childish Fruit were reborn. Ovelette gave these two fruits to me. Didn't she tell you about this?"

"She said that I suggested that she send the fruit over."

King Riku said.

"You are now..."

Remos was a little confused. Why do some people send fruits in several batches?

"Please forgive me, Mr. Ranger, because only by doing this can I believe that you will choose to come back to rescue when this country is in danger again.

Those two fruits can be regarded as a thank you gift for your help this time.

But what about next time? Will you definitely come back? I don't know.

Only by giving you this fruit as an advance payment for the next thank you gift can I feel a little relieved. "

King Riku said with a wry smile.

What he said now did not appear in the original work. After Luffy saved the country, he did not get the devil fruit from King Riku.

From here, we can see the difference between Remos and Luffy.

Luffy is a pirate. He defeated Doflamingo, so the pirates will assume that this is Luffy's territory, and Dressrosa will be protected.

And Remos is a ranger. He will not occupy the territory. After he leaves, this place will become a no-man's land in the eyes of pirates.

King Riku is obviously very clear about this, so he needs to tie Remos up.

From this point of view, Violet's previous statement about him being the duke should also be King Riku's intention.

Perhaps because Remos was unwilling to be the duke, King Riku had to change the chips to find a way to bring the two sides closer.

Remos looked at him, and after a moment, he nodded gently.

"Okay, I'll take this fruit. "
