Chapter 183 Invitation to Join

Loven followed Violet to the palace where King Liku worked.

Having just dealt with Doflamingo, Dressrosa still had a lot of messes, enough to keep King Riku busy.

At this time, King Liku was leaning over the table, working hard on a pile of documents.

When he saw Loven and Violet, King Liku immediately stopped what he was doing.

He looked at the two people's conditions and had already discovered their situations.

Violet has been taken down by Loven!

King Riku sighed.

He knew that Violet might have made some deal with Loven.

Such a choice made him, as an old father, feel very guilty.

If it weren't for him and the country, Violet might have had more choices.

However, Violet looked quite happy now.

King Liku felt somewhat comforted, and then he straightened his face and asked Luo Wen in a gentle voice: "Lord Luo Wen, what are you doing here?"

"That's right." Lowen nodded, a smile on his face, and said, "King Riku, have you considered the future of Dressrosa?"

"Dressrosa's future?"

King Riku was stunned and began to think.

He really hadn't thought about this before.

King Riku answered after careful consideration: "Perhaps we should continue to pay the Heavenly Gold every year as before and become a member of the World Government."

This was what he thought in his heart, and he had no other way out.

"You still want to be a member of the World Government? Do you want another Doflamingo?"

Lowen asked.

"I don't quite understand what you mean."

King Riku asked blankly.

"Doflamingo invaded your country. The World Government knew about it, but they didn't stop him. Instead, they let Doflamingo continue to be his Shichibukai." Lowen continued, "What would you do if another Shichibukai came, or something else?"

King Riku was dumbfounded, he had never thought about this question.

But when this problem was right in front of him, he had to consider it.

The World Government knows about Doflamingo's evil deeds but does not pursue them, so what's the point of him paying money to the World Government.

If there were another Doflamingo, what price would Dressrosa have to pay to ask Lowen to take action?

The cost of attacking the Four Emperors was not something he could afford.

He only has one daughter, Violet, so it's good enough if he can get Loven's help once. It's impossible to ask him for help every time.

No, he also has a granddaughter.

King Liku thought of Rebecca and Cyrus, whom he had just met, but quickly shook the thought off.

This idea is too outrageous.

"Lord Luo Wen, if you have any ideas, just tell me."

King Liku didn't think about it any more. Since Lowen raised this question, he must have some ideas. He decided to listen to Lowen's ideas first.

"My idea is to leave the World Government and join me."

"I am about to establish an alliance of nations called the Illuminati. All nations that join the Illuminati will be protected by the neo navy."

Lowen said with a smile.

"Lord Lowen, do you want to create another world government?"

King Liku looked at Lowen in horror, shocked by his words.

What about the Illuminati? Countries that join can get asylum. Isn’t this the same concept as becoming a member of the World Government?

And the so-called neo navy is completely copying the navy's settings.

Such an organization will definitely come into conflict with the World Government that has existed for 800 years.

In other words, the purpose of such an organization is to overthrow the world government and then replace it.

King Liku was shocked by Lowen's boldness.

The first person to have this idea was Rocks twenty years ago.

The ambitious pirate overlord who wanted to overthrow the World Government and become the king of the world, now even his ashes are nowhere to be found.

Now Lowen is trying to overthrow the World Government again.

King Riku is well aware of the horror of the World Government. The Navy is just one of its subordinate agencies. There are also CP organizations of the same level as the Navy, as well as countless terrifying forces hidden in the dark.

In such a world government, even the Four Emperors can only control one side and dare not launch a general attack on it.

Luo Wen, do you really have that ability?

Even if he is a godslayer, he would have no chance of winning against the World Government that has stood for eight hundred years.

King Liku was extremely worried. The man his daughter had just found must not commit suicide. "Lord Luo Wen, how about you reconsider it?"

"Don't you believe in my ability?"

"If you don't believe me, I can show you how to destroy an island with one strike."

Lowen said with a smile.

He is not someone who builds up power first and then has the ability to overturn the table.

It was because he had the God-killing Spear that could overturn tables that he wanted to build up his power to seize the entire world and squeeze Bailey.

This is equivalent to a country in the past that mastered unlimited intercontinental nuclear bombing during the First World War when flintlock rifles were common. It only takes a thought to destroy all countries in the world, but in order to receive complete resources, it chose to advance slowly.

But no matter what, the ending is certain.

Now, his first client is his father-in-law. Loven doesn't mind using the God-killing Spear to let King Riku experience the extraordinary beauty of the pirate world.

"No need for a demonstration, I believe it!"

King Riku broke out in a cold sweat.

What Luo Wen said was really cruel.

What does it mean to destroy an island and see what happens? Is this human language?

You know, Dressrosa is just an island.

If you really want to see it, you will be blown to heaven on the spot!

As for whether Lowen has the ability to destroy the island, King Riku still believes it.

He made up for the information from Lowen and looked at the existing photos of Elegia in the East China Sea. There is a bottomless abyss in the center of Elegia, and the sea water has not yet filled it up.

But Lowen has the ability to destroy islands, and so does the World Government!

King Riku still didn't quite believe that Lowen could defeat the World Government, but he wisely kept it to himself.

"Then consider whether you want to join my Illuminati."

"If you join, you can get my protection. You don't have to pay the sky gold anymore, and you don't have to worry about pirates invading."

Luo Wen talked about his family’s welfare benefits.

"so good?"

King Riku was a little moved.

Luo Wen is clearly one of the Four Emperors, and his subordinates are all elite soldiers and generals.

The entire Don Quixote family was wiped out in just over ten minutes.

With Loven's protection, I'm afraid no one in the entire Dressar would dare to invade.

What’s more, you don’t have to pay for the heavenly gold!

Heavenly gold is the most troublesome thing for the member countries of the World Government.

That can't be called drawing blood, that's called drawing bone marrow.

Many times, a country’s annual tax revenue is not enough to cover the cost of the gold from heaven, and it has to impose additional taxes on its citizens.

In order to collect enough Heavenly Gold, some countries would even sell their land to pirates, completely deviating from the original intention of joining the World Government.

As for those member states that could not pay the gold, some were executed and some were turned into slaves. This way of eating was even uglier than pirates.

When King Liku heard that he didn’t have to pay the Heavenly Gold and that he had Lowen’s protection, he was really tempted.

With Lowen's strength, overthrowing the world government might not be possible, but isn't it easy to shelter a few countries?
