A few days passed, and the funeral of the old King Riku was completed. Riku Dold III officially became the new King Riku, and his three-year-old daughter Riku Scarlet was also appointed as the eldest princess. Three months after the enthronement ceremony was held, Kaido and Lily came to the Kingdom of Dressrosa.
"Hahahahaha, you two are here." Looking at the two people who landed directly in the back garden, the new King Riku didn't mind at all. After all, there was no need to worry about what these two people wanted to do to him, not to mention , King Liku also knew what they meant.
"Yes, I'm here. Sorry, it took me so long." Lily said first.
"It's okay, it's okay, I understand, I understand. In fact, I would like to thank you two for helping me think so much." King Liku waved his hand and said.
"Okay, don't be polite, take us to see the old King Riku." Kaido hated useless politeness and interrupted.
"Okay, I'm the one who got married. Come with me, you two." King Liku smiled and then led the way.
The three of them were walking on the path of the King's Highlands. All members of the Riku family will be buried here after death. The three of them chatted all the way. Kaido said that King Riku was not kind. When they got married, they had children. At that time, he didn't invite himself, and King Riku didn't care. He had a very good relationship with Kaido. The reason why he didn't call him Kaido was entirely because when they got married, because of the revival of Dressrosa, the old King Riku He said he wanted to make a big show, so he invited too many people, including people from the World Government and the Navy, but he didn't dare to call Kaido.
As for the birth of the child, although King Liku was very happy at the time, it was not a big event after all, and no one was invited. Even the ministers did not find out about it until a week later. However, King Liku still made an apology like he was playing tricks and said that he would have lunch. At that time, I must have punished myself with three cups of wine, and they laughed and laughed all the way to the tomb.
"Father, Kaido and Lily are here to see you." King Riku placed the flowers in his hands in front of the grave. Kaido and Lily looked at the graves in front of them, except for the beautiful scenery, which was no different from the graves of ordinary people. Tomb, the view of the old King Liku in his heart is higher.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, King Riku, I'm sorry, we're late, but I brought good wine. I'd like you to try it today. Whoa, this is the wine made by Lily." Kaido stepped forward. , uncorked the wine gourd and poured the wine inside in front of the grave.
Lily took out some yellow paper from her pocket. This is the custom of the Flower Country. Wanshou taught her. Every year, Lily would burn some for Wanshou. This time, Lily brought this, Suzaku's Flame. The yellow paper was lit, and the green smoke drifted slowly, and then dissipated in the air.
Half an hour later, all the yellow paper Lily brought was burned, and she said goodbye to the old King Liku. The three of them left on foot again. After leaving the cemetery, King Liku also asked the questions in his heart.
"Lily, what were those yellow papers just now?"
"That is a custom of the Kingdom of Flowers. In the traditional customs of the Kingdom of Flowers, people will enter a new world after death. After the yellow paper is burned, it will turn into money from another world and be sent to the deceased. In the hands of others, you can also take the thoughts of your loved ones with you."
"As expected of Lily, you actually understand the situation in the Kingdom of Flowers." King Liku nodded. He felt that this custom was quite interesting. Do you want to promote it?
"It's nothing. My master is from the Kingdom of Flowers and he taught me." Lily nodded and said nonchalantly.
"That's it, that's it. Come on, you two, follow me. I'll take you to have something to eat." Regarding this kind of private matter, King Liku didn't ask any more questions. He waved his hand and led the topic to another aspect.
"Wow, wow, wow, that's a good relationship. Let's have more wine and meat. The meat tastes great." Kaido laughed happily when he heard this. Every time he comes to Dressrosa, Kaido will try this "meat and wine".
"Hahaha, no problem, you can eat as much as you want, I'm treating you today!" King Liku laughed. Anyway, Dressrosa's economy has recovered now, and you no longer have to worry about missing a meal like before. I'm sorry.
The three of them returned to the palace. Compared with the dilapidation many years ago, the palace has been completely repaired and glowed with the style of the past.
The three of them came to the restaurant. At this time, a pink-haired woman was waiting here holding a pretty girl about three or four years old.
"Oh, Flora, you are already here. I want someone to inform you." King Riku opened his arms and hugged the woman. Flora, the wife of Riku Dold III, was there. Dressrosa represents flowers in the colloquial language.
"I know that Mr. Kaido and Ms. Lily guessed it when they arrived. I have already prepared the lunch. Please take your seats." The first half of the sentence was addressed to King Riku, and the second half was naturally directed to King Riku. Kaido and Lily.
"Thank you, Flora, but don't call me sir, just Kaido." This was not the first time Kaido met Flora. After all, he often went to drink with King Riku, who was still a prince at the time.
"Scarlet, come call uncle and aunt." King Riku held his daughter and walked to Kaido and Lily.
"Uncle! Auntie!" The little girl's clear voice made Kaido and Lily smile unconsciously.
"Okay, okay, come on, here's this for you." Lily smiled and took out two blue bells and handed them to Scarlett. The little girl happily took them, held them in her hand and shook them, and the bells sounded. Crisp sound.
"This is too expensive." Scarlett is just a little girl, but King Riku knows what's good. These two bells are not ordinary. They are carved from sapphires. Let's not talk about the value of these two fist-sized sapphires. The craftsmanship of carving sapphires into bells is not ordinary.
"Oh, it's okay. It's just a small ornament for children to play with." Kaido didn't care at all. This kind of thing is nothing to the beasts.
"Okay, then I'll refuse it." King Riku saw that Kaido really didn't care at all, so he didn't say anything polite. Several people sat down, Scarlett sat on Flora's lap, and the waiter began to serve the dishes. Several people drank and talked happily. When the wine was over thirty and the dishes were over five flavors, King Riku talked about the main topic.
"In fact, if you two don't come today, I will also invite you to come in a few days." King Riku raised his wine glass and said to Kaido.
"Just tell me if you have anything to say. We don't need to do those empty words." Kaido drank a glass of wine without caring. He glanced at Scarlett who was held in Lily's arms. He unconsciously thought that if he had a child, it would be good if she was a well-behaved daughter. However, this idea was thrown out of Kaido's mind in an instant, and he continued to listen to King Riku.
"Actually, when our fleet went to deliver the goods before, because the other party had some problems, there was not so much cash, so we used other things to pay off the debt."
"Just tell me, what is the tricky thing, do you need me to help you sell it?" Kaido thought about it, it was probably some contraband, Dressrosa had no sales channels, so he needed the help of the beasts.
"No, no, no, I'm going to sell it to you." King Riku waved his hand, and then smiled strangely.
"Sell it to me?" Kaido scratched his head, what? Wait, could it be... "You got a devil fruit?"
"Hahahaha, that's right!" King Riku laughed, then turned around and shouted, "Bring the stuff up!"
As King Riku shouted, the same envoy came up with a tray and put it on the table.
"Ha, it's so mysterious." Kaido rubbed his hands excitedly, waiting for King Riku to open the lid. This sense of ritual is still necessary.
"Come on, take a look." King Riku didn't say much nonsense, and opened the lid in front of him. A banana-like fruit and a peach-like fruit were revealed in front of everyone.
"Dragon Dragon Fruit - Ancient Species - Pachycephalosaurus Form, Sloth Fruit - Ancient Species - Megalodon Form!"
