Chapter 331 Choice, now or the future? ! (2-in-1)

Under the night sky.

The dim school grounds seemed unusually quiet. Starlight fell from the sky and illuminated the bright red ground.

Two figures in black suits stood next to a corpse, looking at the red sky stained by firelight in the distance.

"Doflamingo is really a madman, and he actually took action against Dressrosa."

"Do you think his action will be successful?"

A hoarse voice sounded in the open space of the school ground. The man in the suit, who crushed the phone bug with his foot, raised his foot, mopped the ground hard, wiped the mucus off the sole, and asked his companions beside him.

Next to him, stood a slender young woman. The woman had a beautiful appearance and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. Her slender legs were tightly wrapped in a black skirt, revealing the woman's slender figure. .

Hearing her companion's question, the woman stuck out her tongue and licked her bloody finger, with an intoxicated smile on her face. Then she shook her head gently and answered crisply:

"If we fight Cyrus head-on, there is a chance of winning, but in a short period of time, it is impossible for Doflamingo to kill Cyrus."

"The message of Dressrosa will definitely spread."

"What do you think Enichi Jiguo will do if he learns the news about Dressrosa?"

The blonde woman said, sucking the blood on her fingers, her cheeks turned slightly red, and her eyes became a little blurry.

"Is it even necessary to think about it?"

"With the character of inheriting the unity of the country."

"I'm afraid they will rush to Dressrosa as soon as possible and then start a killing spree."

"A name like Shichibukai means nothing at all in front of Enichi Tsukuni."

The man in the suit glanced sideways at his intoxicated companion. He couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his eye. Then he shifted his gaze and said his guess. After speaking, the man's face showed a look of thought, and then he said to himself. road:

"In other words, will it fail?"

"If that's the case, why should we take action?"

"If Cyrus investigates, it will be difficult to hide our existence, right?"

Speaking of this, the man asked the woman next to him with some confusion.

"I'm talking about direct combat."

"Jikuni Enichi and his subordinates are indeed very powerful."

"But those who 'self-proclaimed' they all have the same fatal weakness."

"People like Cyrus are too difficult to deal with."

"Doflamingo is an unscrupulous person, and Cyrus can't handle it."

"He is different from Ji Guoyuan. He does not have the absolute strength to handle things here."

"Dressrosa will eventually fall into Doflamingo's hands. All we have to do is wipe his butt and deal with some things he can't think of. That'll be fine."

The woman said, walking towards the dormitory in the base, her high heels making a rhythmic "ta-da" sound as she stepped on the flat ground.

"I see!"

The man in the suit looked in the direction his companion left, nodded slightly, his eyes clear, and then quickly followed.

Of course Cyrus didn't know what was happening in the base.

He never thought that the "escape route" he had arranged would be cut off like this. The water in Dressrosa was much deeper than he imagined, and things were far more complicated than Cyrus imagined.

Now, he is leading a group of subordinates towards the chaotic city.

The people who woke up when they heard the noise were hiding in their homes. Only some brave people stuck their heads out of the windows and looked up the street.

"Get out of the way!"

"Get out of the way!"

Not long after Cyrus and his men left the base, a shout suddenly came from the street ahead. When Cyrus heard the shout, he subconsciously stopped and looked intently. He happened to see a man riding a tall horse. The middle-aged man rushed towards here quickly while waving the long sword in his hand, slashing at the walls along the way and the people who couldn't dodge.

"Father?!"

Recognizing the person, Cyrus whispered, then quickly recovered, and shouted to his subordinates behind him: "It's King Liku, don't attack!"

"He is being controlled, dodge first."

While he was talking, King Liku had already rushed into the city defense army on horseback. Cyrus's men were all veterans, and they all reacted very quickly. King Liku immediately stepped out of the way.

But the next second King Riku who was riding a horse entered the crowd, he pulled the reins in his hand, reined in the horse, and slashed at a nearby guard with a backhand sword.

"clang!!"

Just when the veteran was about to be killed by King Liku, Cyrus suddenly stood in front of the veteran. He raised his sword to hold King Liku's sword, and then quickly reached out with his left hand and grabbed it directly. King Riku's sword-wielding wrist directly dragged King Riku from his horse to the ground.

While pulling, Cyrus felt the strong sense of disobedience coming from King Liku. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and Cyrus saw the thin line connecting King Liku's body and hand.

"Is it controlled by silk threads?"

Such a thought flashed through Cyrus's mind quickly, and then he controlled King Liku's sword-grabbing hand with one hand, and quickly swung his sword towards the silk thread connected to King Liku's body.

"squeak--"

The long sword fell, and there was a strange sound in the air. The silk thread connecting King Liku's body actually stretched in the direction of the slash under Cyrus's slash, without any signs of breaking at all.

"What?!"

After the blow, Cyrus also looked stunned, and his domineering energy was poured into the long sword. When he was about to continue taking action, a body quickly fell from the sky. At the same time, five nearly transparent silk threads quickly moved towards Cyrus' head. Comes lasing.

Although the opponent's attack did not make a sound of breaking through the air, Cyrus's domineering spirit still caught the unusual movement in the air, and the long sword in his hand was quickly held flat in front of him.

"clang!!!"

After a crisp sound, Cyrus only felt a huge force coming from the sword. He quickly stepped back and left King Liku in an instant. His military boots were dragging the ground, plowing out two long paths. Long shoe marks.

Flying back nearly ten meters, the force was offset. Cyrus tilted his sword slightly and looked at the location of King Liku.

At this time, on the horseback behind King Liku, a young man wearing a colorful shirt and eye-shaped pink-rimmed sunglasses was sitting on the horseback with his legs crossed, with one hand and five fingers spread out and held flat in front of his chest. , and at the same time stepped on King Liku's back, looking at Cyrus and the others with a grin.

"Who are you."

Cyrus saw the person clearly, held the sword in both hands and took an offensive stance, and asked. He was quickly going through his memories in his mind, and soon he remembered where he had seen the young man in front of him.

"Shichibukai!?"

"Don Quixote Doflamingo!"

Hearing Cyrus reveal his identity, Doflamingo laughed loudly, and the smile on his face became brighter.

"Hello, Lieutenant General Cyrus."

"It's really rude to meet you under such circumstances!"

"Furfurfural."

Doflamingo's tone was relaxed. While he was talking to Cyrus, Cyrus's men had already surrounded Doflamingo and King Riku in the middle of the street.

Facing the crowd of city defense troops surrounding him, Doflamingo just glanced sideways and didn't take it to heart at all.

"snort!"

"Doflamingo, let King Riku go and leave Dressrosa."

"I can pretend that what happened today never happened!"

Cyrus looked at Doflamingo who looked relaxed, frowned slightly, and said loudly.

After hearing what Cyrus said, Doflamingo's laughter gradually became wilder:

"Hahahahaha!"

"Hey, hey, are you making a mistake?!"

"I'm a pirate!"

"Otherwise, you, Dressrosa, must raise one billion beli to redeem King Riku from me."

"If I leave like this without getting anything, I will be looked down upon by other pirates."

After hearing such innocent words from Cyrus, Doflamingo couldn't help but want to tease Cyrus.

"A billion Baileys?"

"good!"

"Then a billion Baileys!"

"I will immediately arrange for someone to collect the money. Once you get the money, you will let King Riku go and leave Dressrosa!"

Cyrus frowned when he heard Doflamingo's request, and then agreed immediately without hesitation.

Some time ago, the World Government adopted the policy of forming the Shichibukai, and Cyrus also learned about this news through newspapers.

If possible, Cyrus did not want to fight Doflamingo, who controlled King Riku. If something can be solved with money, then use money to solve it.

One billion Baileys is not too difficult for King Riku and Dressrosa. As long as you give it some time, there will be no problem in collecting the money.

and

If the other party has the life to take the money, he really may not have the life to spend it!

Cyrus agreed decisively, and the smile on Doflamingo's face did not diminish, and he chuckled:

"Well"

"I have changed my mind now. One billion ransoms are not enough."

"Let's do this. Please collect 3 billion beli and give it to me. If so, I will let go of King Riku!"

As soon as Doflamingo finished speaking, King Riku, who was under his control, suddenly said, "I didn't expect that the life of an old man like me would be so valuable."

"Cyrus, there is no need to talk nonsense with this guy."

"His purpose is not the ransom at all, but the entire Dressrosa!"

"Don't worry about me, just take action and get rid of him. If I die, you will be the new king of Dressrosa!"

"Don't have any scruples!"

King Riku's words were indeed beyond Doflamingo's expectations. After a brief surprise, Doflamingo glanced at King Riku, then looked at Cyrus, laughing and mocking:

"Hey, hey, hey, old man, now that you have spoken these words, you might not be dead, but you are dead now!"

"If you die, your good son-in-law will be able to ascend the throne. In this case, will he let you live?"

"Furfurfural."

"Cyrus, my request remains unchanged. For 3 billion beli, you can save this old man."

"Do you agree?"

"Or do you want to be the king of Dressrosa?"

As he spoke, Doflamingo moved his fingers slightly, and King Riku raised the long sword in his hand and placed it on his neck. The cold blade pressed tightly against his skin, and the skin of King Riku's neck was pierced by the blade. Blood was shed.

"stop!"

"I agree to your request!"

"I will collect three billion beli as soon as possible, you need to give me some time."

Cyrus saw that scene and said anxiously.

Upon hearing this, King Liku suddenly raised his head, glared at Cyrus angrily, gritted his teeth, and used all his strength to strike the blade on his neck.

"Oh?"

"If you die, I won't have anywhere to collect the ransom!"

King Riku's movements were noticed by Doflamingo, and the sword blade was removed from King Riku's neck. At the same time, a silk thread hung down and was connected to the back of King Riku's neck, strengthening his attack on King Riku. control.

After scoffing, Doflamingo looked at Cyrus with a smile on his face and continued:

"but."

"I don't need to bother you, a former vice-admiral, with the work of raising money."

"I think there should be someone who can take your place."

"As you say, I think it would be better to die!"

While he was talking, several city defenders standing behind Cyrus suddenly moved without warning. The five city defenders held long swords in their hands and quickly rushed towards Cyrus and stabbed Cyrus in the back. go.

At the same time, Doflamingo moved his fingers slightly, and King Riku quickly charged towards Cyrus with his sword in hand.

"Let me see if you are truly loyal to King Riku."

"Well, that's not right either. You are his son-in-law, and your son-in-law is half his son."

"I want to see if you are filial to King Riku!"

"Or are you just pretending to be loyal and filial?"

"Furfurfural."

Seeing King Riku rushing towards Cyrus, Doflamingo said with a smile. For some reason, he was about to see Cyrus and King Riku "fighting father and son", and he felt excited in his heart, and his eyes were filled with excitement. It's expectation.

He wanted to peel off Cyrus's hypocritical mask and let Cyrus show his most primitive and essential appearance in the face of survival.

"clang!!!"

A crisp sound came from not far away.

Facing the attack of his subordinates without warning, Cyrus turned around and quickly slashed out the long sword in his hand, directly cutting off the swords in the hands of his subordinates. At the same time, King Liku also rushed in front of Cyrus. The long sword in his hand struck Cyrus fiercely.

Facing King Liku's attack, Cyrus used Shao directly, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the place in a flash.

The next second, Cyrus' figure suddenly appeared in front of Doflamingo, swung his sword directly, and slashed towards Doflamingo.

"Hey, look at your beloved father-in-law."

"Don't you want him to live?"

Facing Cyrus' attack, Doflamingo leaned up and while avoiding the slash, he quickly fell from the horse's back to the ground.

Cyrus put his right foot a little above the saddle and was about to continue attacking Doflamingo when he heard Doflamingo's voice coming into his ears.

Looking back quickly, King Riku had actually pierced his thigh with a sword.

But King Liku was gritting his teeth and did not let out even a painful groan. He did not want to affect Cyrus's battle, and he did not want to let himself become a weight to restrict Cyrus.

"Father!"

Cyrus paused and couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw this scene.

At this moment, Doflamingo's figure suddenly appeared behind Cyrus, with his five fingers in the form of claws, and he swung down at Cyrus with a grin.

Five colored threads.

The transparent threads shot towards Cyrus. When he noticed the attack coming, Cyrus had no time to raise his sword to block, and was directly knocked away by Doflamingo's attack.

"Bang!!"

Cyrus' figure flew up several meters, and then hit the ground hard, splashing a burst of smoke and dust. After falling to the ground, Cyrus quickly raised his body, leaving five deep wounds on his chest. There was a deep layer of blood, and traces of blood flowed out of it.

Although the wound was deep, it did not damage the internal organs. Cyrus used his armed domineering force to protect his body in time. Such an injury was not a serious problem for him.

Doflamingo glanced at the wounds on Cyrus's body solemnly, then calmed down, showed a bright smile, clapped gently, and praised: "Quite powerful armed domineering!"

"As expected of a former Vice Admiral! He's really awesome!"

"but."

"Mr. Cyrus, do you want to save King Liku? Or do you not want to save King Liku?"

"Well"

"Only one of you and King Riku can survive!"

"Furfurfural."

"spread!"

"Choose!"

"Mr. Cyrus, you don't want your father to be harmed, right?"
