Dressrosa was not a small kingdom. With a total population of around 100,000, plus the Tontatta living in Greenbit, Mansherry had once ntioned that their numbers exceeded 3,500. Despite the kingdom's past turmoil, it remained a vibrant place with rich culture and deep-rooted traditions.
After Violet finished speaking, the entire room fell into stunned silence.
Even Gion, an experienced and well-inford vice admiral candidate, couldn't help but lightly cover her lips in shock. Her usually composed deanor wavered as she spoke in disbelief.
"Moving an entire country? Only the legendary giant, Oars, could achieve such a feat! This... this is too crazy!!"
Her gaze instinctively shifted toward Luffy, waiting to see how he would respond to such an outrageous proposal.
At that mont, a tiny head poked out from Luffy's collar—Mansherry, the lively and cheerful princess of the Tontatta Tribe. Her large eyes sparkled with excitent, resembling that of an eager consultant suddenly inspired by a bold idea.
"Eh? You an to bring Dressrosa here?!" Mansherry chirped, her tiny hands gripping Luffy's shirt. "Then… does that an I'll be able to see my people more often?"
"Yes, and not just the people of Dressrosa," Luffy nodded before turning to the others.
Olivia, standing nearby, also chid in, her expression calm yet thoughtful.
"That includes the Tontatta as well," she noted. "With a doctor who is both skilled in dicine and her people that is gifted in cultivating plant life, their contributions could prove invaluable. Besides…" She glanced at Mansherry and added with a knowing smile, "As the husband of their princess, you can support each other and bring benefits to both sides."
Gion, who had been listening intently, pondered for a mont before nodding in agreent.
"I think this idea has rit," she analyzed. "Aren't land and population exactly what we're lacking right now? If we can integrate these two forces into our growing territory, it would significantly strengthen us."
As she spoke, everyone's eyes turned to Luffy once again—especially Violet, whose expression betrayed a mix of hope and determination.
For her, this was a win-win situation, particularly for Dressrosa. If Luffy had the power to relocate their holand and was willing to do so, then her people would not only receive his protection but could also benefit from the economic opportunities brought by the influx of tourists from Onigashima.
The country had yet to fully recover from the devastation left behind by Doflamingo's rule. This relocation could provide the perfect opportunity to rebuild and flourish.
Similarly, as long as Dressrosa was integrated into Luffy's expanding territory, Violet was confident she could persuade her father, King Riku, to support Luffy's policies wholeheartedly.
Looking into Violet's expectant eyes, Luffy did not hesitate. A confident smile curved his lips as he lightly tapped his chin.
"Moving Dressrosa isn't difficult for ," he stated matter-of-factly. "If your father agrees, then that would make things much easier."
"Yes!" Violet's face lit up with joy, her voice filled with resolve. "I'll speak with him about this later. I'm sure the citizens will agree as well!"
Mansherry's tiny hand shot up eagerly.
"And ! Sister Violet, please let talk to my father too! I want to move Greenbit here as well!" she pleaded, her excitent palpable.
The two princesses were so eager that Alpha couldn't help but shake her head in exasperation. Crossing her arms, she let out a dramatic sigh.
"Wow, you two really are good princesses, huh?" she teased with a smirk. "Selling out your own country just to please a man…"
Before she could finish her sentence, Luffy's hand shot out, grabbing Alpha by the collar and pulling her toward him.
"Idiot! This is called mutual benefit. What do you know?!" he scolded, clearly displeased.
With a swift motion, he ruffled her hair before delivering a light but firm smack to the top of her head.
"Ow!" Alpha winced, imdiately grabbing her head with both hands as her eyes welled up with exaggerated tears. "Why are you so an?! I was just joking! Did you really have to hit ?!"
Luffy rolled his eyes. "Shut up. If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll send you flying straight to heaven."
To emphasize his point, he swatted her lightly on the butt.
At that, Alpha stiffened, her expression shifting as she looked around at the won standing nearby. Her gaze flickered to the imitation magic island, then back to Luffy. A nervous gulp escaped her lips before she hurriedly clamped a hand over her mouth as if silencing herself like a frightened little rabbit.
But after a brief mont of hesitation, she lowered the hand covering her mouth—only to use one arm to cover her chest and the other to shield her backside.
"No… don't do it here," she mumbled, her face turning beet red. "It's too embarrassing! If you really want sothing, just wait until we get back!"
The room burst into laughter.
Kujaku, Violet, and Olivia couldn't contain their amusent, while Gion pressed her palm against her forehead, shaking her head helplessly.
"This girl…" Gion sighed. "She's just like Kalifa—so naive. Did you really think he was being serious?"
"Eh?" Alpha's mouth dropped open in shock.
But before she could backpedal, Luffy seized the opportunity. Wrapping an arm around her slim waist, he pulled her into his embrace. Lowering his head, he whispered against her ear, his voice carrying a mischievous lilt.
"That's what you said," he reminded her smugly. "When we get back, I'll call Kalifa, and we can have a good 'ti' together."
Alpha's face turned an even deeper shade of red, her embarrassnt reaching its peak.
"N-No…!" she stamred, squirming in his grip. "Calling my sister to join is too embarrassing~!"
Luffy chuckled, clearly enjoying her reaction.
Her reaction was undeniably cute, and for a brief mont, he found himself savoring the way her delicate body trembled in his arms—not with fear, but with a flustered kind of anticipation.
However, sensing that she was reaching her limit, he decided to let up. With a soft peck on her flushed cheek, he reassured her.
"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore," he said, giving her waist a light squeeze before releasing her. "Now, let's get serious. I'm going to speed things up, so be ready."
At his words, Mansherry imdiately retracted her tiny head back into Luffy's collar.
Kujaku, Violet, and Olivia all adjusted their cloaks in preparation, their expressions shifting from amusent to focus.
