["Citizens of Dressrosa! I stand here today to give you all a fair and just voting environment! No one can interfere with your votes!!"]
["Just now, Doflamingo has clearly explained to you how he tricked King Riku back then!!!"]
["The final result of this vote will choose your new king!!"]
["You also don't need to worry about being retaliated against by anyone!!"]
["If King Riku is not elected, he doesn't have the power to retaliate!!"]
["If Doflamingo is not elected, I, Monkey D. Luffy, swear here and now that I will personally kill him and the Donquixote Family!!!"]
["In short, you don't need to have any psychological burden. Just write the name of the person you most hope to be the King of Dressrosa in your palm!"]
["Now, let the campaigning begin! Both candidates will take the stage in turn to give speeches and solicit votes!! —"]
[When Luffy's words fell into everyone's ears, everyone felt it was very fair!!!]
[With Luffy's guarantee, the citizens of Dressrosa could vote without any worries.....]
[Two minutes later, the campaigning began...]
[By tossing a coin, King Riku went first~~]
["My dear citizens!! For hundreds of years, our Riku family has always devoted themselves tirelessly to this country~~~"]
["The disaster of 10 years ago, Doflamingo has just admitted, it was all his doing!!!"]
["This wicked person, in order to become the King of Dressrosa, actually tricked this king into killing innocent civilians without reason...! ! !"]
["If a person like this continues to be the King of Dressrosa, the future of Dressrosa will be pitch black!!!"]
["..."]
[King Riku's speech was like a declaration of Doflamingo's crimes, powerful and passionate!!!]
[Luffy fully understood King Riku's speech.]
[Their Riku family was suppressed by Doflamingo for ten years. Now that they have a chance to turn things around, they will naturally follow Doflamingo's lead and give him a hard time~]
[For them, Doflamingo was simply an irredeemable bastard!!!]
[Half an hour later~~~]
[Doflamingo, walking with disdainful, swaggering steps, arrived directly in front of the platform.]
["Fufufufu..."]
[A characteristic laugh opened the speech.]
["I am guilty!!"]
["Citizens of Dressrosa, all the crimes King Riku just spoke of, I admit them all!!"]
["I also don't want to explain anything for myself~~~"]
["I just want to say, if I continue to be the King of Dressrosa, I will resolutely implement the policies!!"]
["First, I will continue to dedicate myself to the country's economic development, bringing happiness to the people of Dressrosa!!"]
["Second, all cadres of the Donquixote Family, including myself, will regularly volunteer every week to help the people!!"]
["Third, I will establish national nursing homes. All citizens of Dressrosa over 60 years old can move into the nursing homes, receiving free food and accommodation. As for the nurses and service staff in the nursing homes, they will all be played by toys, so the elderly here don't need to worry about nurses and service staff being bad~~~"]
["Fourth, I know everyone is a bit afraid of the Hobi Hobi no Mi's ability right now, but with Luffy here to speak, I will absolutely not mess around!! Moreover, I will formulate rules for the use of the Hobi Hobi no Mi's ability. It will only be used against criminals and those pirates who attempt to raid Dressrosa!!"]
["Every criminal who is punished by the Hobi Hobi no Mi will be publicly displayed in this square. A toy criminal archive will be established. Before any toy criminal serves their sentence, all their files will be recorded. Any citizen of Dressrosa can come and inspect it!!"]
["After any criminal completes their sentence, they will have the opportunity for redemption, regaining their freedom and regaining their original bodies."]
["Fifth, I feel that with a king like me in Dressrosa, at least everyone can avoid the trouble of loving to fight! Any war against Dressrosa will be rejected by our Donquixote Family!!"]
["Alright!! I have nothing else to say. If I still have the chance to continue serving as the King of Dressrosa, then I will slowly consider how to build Dressrosa even better...!!!"]
[After the speech, Doflamingo returned.]
Monet: "Heheheh...!!! Doflamingo's speech, his will to survive is very strong~~~"
Crocodile: "His will to survive is so strong, he's truly on the verge of death... Can he not be strong...?"
Nefeltari Vivi: "If that Hobi Hobi no Mi were used for good, it truly is a very good Devil Fruit!"
Nico Robin: "Indeed! Using toys to punish criminals not only saves the cost of building prisons and hiring jailers, but also provides a large amount of free labor for the entire country."
Nami: "Yeah! The key is that these laborers are 100% obedient, simply too perfect!!!"
Kuzan: "If this nursing home Doflamingo spoke of is truly established, then for all the elderly in the country, it is indeed an incredibly good welfare..."
Donquixote Doflamingo: "Fufufufu...!!! That idea of mine over there is really not bad! When I go back, I'll also try a method. Anyway, I have toy labor, as long as I don't die~~~"
Buggy: "Comparing their speeches, I think Doflamingo has a great chance of winning..."
Koala: "Yes. I also think so~~~"
[After the campaigning ended, it entered the voting phase~~~]
[The voting phase is very simple. Everyone holds a pen and writes the name of the king they want to choose in their palm...!!!]
[After 5 minutes...]
[Vote counting begins....!!!]
[The citizens below all raised their palms, came to the platform in front of the King's Heights one by one, and aimed their chosen name in their palm at the live broadcast Transponder Snail~]
[Through the live broadcast screen, everyone's choice was clearly displayed before everyone's eyes!]
[Several beautiful women chosen from Dressrosa itself served as vote counters and recorders.]
[As time flowed, the large screen clearly displayed the changes in both parties' votes~]
[From morning until evening, the vote counting finally ended!!!]
[The votes of both parties were finally fixed at 125,444 votes versus 77,313 votes...]
[Doflamingo wins!!!]
Riku Dold III: "What?! How could Doflamingo win???"
Donquixote Doflamingo: "Fufufufu!!! Why can't I win?"
Smoker: "Dold, your speech level is really too low!!! You need to know... those commoners don't like to hear you ramble on about your miserable experiences and how Doflamingo... On the contrary, Doflamingo's speech directly hit the main point!! It showed the people what they wanted!!!"
Marco: "Actually, ordinary commoners don't care who their king is! All they care about is who can bring them a happy life..."
Boa Hancock: "Yeah! The things Doflamingo said in his speech are indeed more attractive to the common people! Moreover, with the guarantee of Red-Foot Zeff's reputation, the common people of Dressrosa naturally believe Doflamingo won't mess with them!!"
Zeff: "Honestly, I never thought that little imp was still alive after being gone for half a day..."
Kuzan: "So that means... Doflamingo was chosen, right...?"
Usopp: "Haha! I also chose him!!! Finally got it right!!!"
—
[Ding! This prize quiz: those who answer incorrectly will be punished!!]
[Zeff, deprived of the next round's question right, lifespan deducted by 3 months and 17 days!]
[Jacket, deprived of the next round's question right, lifespan deducted by 6 months and 22 days!]
[Buggy, deprived of the next round's question right, lifespan deducted by 5 months!]
[Kuzan, deprived of the next round's question right, lifespan deducted by 7 months and 19 days!]
[Jewelry Bonney, deprived of the next round's question right, lifespan deducted by 5 months and 5 days!]
...
[Ding! This prize quiz: the top three correct answers are Kuzan, Usopp, and Topman. These three receive rewards!]
[Congratulations, Kuzan, reward: Flame Dragon Slayer Magic!]
[Congratulations, Usopp, reward: Teigu (modified): Romantic Cannon (Devil's Bow)!]
[Congratulations, Topman, reward: Natural Will: Great Snake Blood (Flame)!]
—
[Ding! Special note: Flame Dragon Slayer Magic, Romantic Cannon (Devil's Bow), and Natural Will: Great Snake Blood (Flame) are magical items from other worlds, so a special note is made.]
[Flame Dragon Slayer Magic Note:]
[Transforms one's constitution into that of a fire dragon. Can be used to slay dragons. Can consume any flame material to restore physical strength, increase power, or erupt dragon scales to improve offense and defense.]
Borsalino: "Nani?? Why isn't your reward a bloodline limit or something...?"
Kuzan: "Flame Dragon Slayer Magic... Since it's flame, then it belongs to the lower abilities of the Magma-Magma Fruit. In front of my magma, any flame might be directly overturned...!"
Previously, in the top battle from the Whitebeard video, Kuzan's Magma-Magma Fruit's counter-effect against Ace was clearly displayed in front of everyone~~~
Now, Kuzan felt a sigh of relief when he saw what kind of reward Doflamingo received.
...
Although they were all Marine Admirals, the matter of his and Kuzan's ten-day and ten-night battle over the position of Fleet Admiral in the future made Kuzan remember it very clearly!
Even though this matter was exposed in advance, it will still happen, but this "future isolation" has already left traces in Kuzan and Doflamingo's hearts!!!
Edward Weevil: "Magma boy... can't you read...? The reward note says this Flame Dragon Slayer Magic can consume any flame material to restore physical strength or increase power? I really want to know if your magma is a flame substance~~~"
Shiki: "Huh? This is interesting!!! If even magma can be eaten, then this little red dog has no advantage in front of the freezing boy!!! If there's another Fleet Admiral dispute, then the outcome is hard to say..., Ze hahahahaha!!!"
Rocks D. Xebec: "What about the Five Elders!! Don't spoil the fun after the Summit War ends!! Make sure to arrange a Fleet Admiral battle, let's see if this Flame Dragon Slayer Magic can deal with the Magma-Magma Fruit!!!"
Sengoku: "Rocks, what the Five Elders want to do is none of your business!!!"
Rocks D. Xebec: "It's disgusting to be a dog...!!!"
Gol D. Roger: "Hahaha!! Old dog Sengoku, good dog!!!"
[Romantic Cannon (Devil's Bow) Note:]
[The user can transform their spiritual energy into a shockwave-firing Teigu shaped like a bow. The power also differs depending on the crisis the user encounters. The more it's a life-or-death crisis, the stronger the power unleashed by the Romantic Cannon (Devil's Bow), with no upper limit!!!]
[Its true meaning is to lift restrictions to greatly increase the weapon's power, but it will be unusable temporarily due to overheating afterward.]
Sengoku: "Another thing with no upper limit!!!"
Seeing this explanation, Sengoku immediately frowned~~~
Shiryu of the Rain: "A sniping-type item. It can fire shockwaves with just one's spiritual power. This is simply the perfect weapon for a sniper!!!"
Van Augur: "Yeah! The most crucial thing is, the deeper the sniper himself is in crisis, the stronger the power unleashed by this thing!! This is simply cheating for a battle of strong individuals...!!!"
Franky: "Wow!!! Usopp, you got a good thing!!!"
Brook: "Yohohohoho...!!! Usopp, when the time comes, I'll ride the Soul Tank with you on my back, and you'll be responsible for sniping. It's simply too cool~~~"
Usopp: "Haha! I love this reward!!!"
Monkey D. Luffy: "When we meet, lend it to me to play with!!!"
Tony Tony Chopper: "I want to play too~~~"
Usopp: "Okay, haha!!!"
—
[Natural Will: Great Snake Blood (Flame) Note:]
[By fusing with Natural Will: Great Snake Blood (Flame), one can obtain the power of Azure Flame!!!]
Gol D. Roger: "What exactly is this Natural Will: Great Snake Blood? It's the power of Earth, and the power of Wind, and the power of Lightning. Now it's also the power of Azure Flame. How can one snake blood have so many abilities???"
Kozuki Oden: "It seems that a total of four old stars have received rewards, and they are all this Natural Will: Great Snake Blood. Could it be that if they collect enough Natural Will: Great Snake Blood, they can summon some kind of giant snake???"
Shiki: "Ze hahahahaha!!! Now that you mention it, it really does have that implication!!!"
Jewelry Bonney: "Heh heh, a bunch of idiots!!"
[As Doflamingo won the general election, Luffy also fulfilled his promise.]
...
[Doflamingo continued to serve as the King of Dressrosa!]
[King Riku became the lord of a large city in southern Dressrosa. The Riku family essentially went from royalty to nobility...]
...
[Under King Riku's report, Luffy learned about the Tontatta tribe being tricked into becoming "slave labor."]
[After Luffy's intervention, the Tontatta tribe returned to the Green Bit primeval forest, continuing their "fairy legend" life~~~]
...
[Before leaving Dressrosa, Luffy gave King Riku a Transponder Snail.]
[If Doflamingo does anything to violate the agreement, King Riku can report him to Luffy...]
[This can also be considered a small restraint on Doflamingo!!!]
[Of course..., Luffy actually understood very well that as long as the Straw Hat Pirate Group still exists, Doflamingo wouldn't dare to mess around~]
[After staying in Dressrosa for a few days, Doflamingo managed to get Luffy a permanent Log Pose for the Tottoland waters~~~]
[After that, the Thousand Sunny departed from Dressrosa and continued forward~~~]
The red-framed screen played up to here, then slowly faded...
The screen disappeared~~~
