Chapter 45: Truth and Celebration

Chapter 45: Truth and Celebration

_________ POV Narration_________

Enel and the Rika Family all walked onto the streets, looking around, seeing bodies all over the place.

The war had many victims, Enel had expected that to happen after he knocked out Sugar, the aftermath was still not pleasing to the eyes.

The royal family had similar thoughts, but they knew that some sacrifices had to be made in order to take down Doflamingo...Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

Fortunately, most of the bodies on the streets belonged to Doflamingo's troops, as they had no way to be prepared for the sudden uprising.

Enel's attack was beyond unexpected, as no one even knew that a Rear Admiral had arrived on the island besides a few sailors at the port.

And the sailors had no reason to care about a marine showing up, as Dressrosa was rather free of pirates under Doflamingo's rule.

It was also rather strange, as the situation was over extremely quickly due to Enel's involvement in the whole thing.

With him taking care of all of the powerful people in Doflamingo's crew, the other marines and pirates that were turned back into humans were able to easily overwhelm the rest of Doflamingo's forces.

The gladiators breaking out made things even quicker, and the situation was finished in 30 minutes, more or less.

Enel walked side by side with Viola, the royal family members were walking a bit ahead, their pace a bit faster.

But it was already becoming pretty clear to them that Enel wasn't lying.

The situation was over. A war had been fought in under thirty minutes against a pirate crew that could enslave an entire country.

Then they reached the palace. At the front door to the palace, stood atop a flight of stairs, all of the officers of Doflamingo's army. All of them were bound and gagged by what seemed to be chains made out of white gold.

Enel used his staff for this, he would retrieve it when the marines arrived with seastone cuffs though.

To the side, the Rika family were able to see Pica's body sprawled out on the ground, it was hard to tell what had killed him.

But what was on top of him made the Rika family stop in their tracks, including Viola.

Doflamingo, or more accurately, the Warlord's body, was thrown atop Pica's.

It was rather clear that the former Tyrant's heart had been pierced, the gaping wound on his chest was rather plain to see, and it was large enough that one could fit their hand through it.

Viola trembled a bit at that sight, Enel couldn't really tell what emotions were going through her mind. Was it fear? Did she start fearing him now, even after his death?

Was it excitement or happiness? Did seeing Doflamingo's corpse give her some sort of pleasure? Enel wouldn't really hold it against her in that case.

There was something else bugging her though... Enel was strange.

Unlike most people, his mind was constantly wandering off, his thoughts often getting jumbled up in countless droves of possibilities that Enel could think of.

Enel was obviously a withdrawn person, someone that wasn't necessarily hard to interact with or that had trouble interacting with others, but that didn't quite revel in being around a lot of people constantly.

Still, she stopped reading him after a while, feeling a bit strange about intruding into his mind for so long. The fact that Enel somehow knew what she was doing was also rather strange to her.

But she didn't want to start questioning her benefactor, especially since he didn't have any bad intentions.

"Ehm!" Both Enel and Viola were broken out of their respective stupors by a fake cough, coming from none other than Viola's father, the old King Doldo.

Enel looked up with a bit of an apologetic smile, and Viola also broke off from him with a slight blush. She turned around and studied the scene a bit more.

Apparently, more people had gathered around them asking old man Doldo to become king once more.

The old man gratefully accepted it, he was glad to see that the people would still accept him despite his failings.

Then he turned around to see his daughter not really paying attention to anything at all.

"I apologize father! I got carried away." Viola said, departing from Enel's side regretfully, she was aware that this was a big day for her family and for their kingdom, as they were finally free. But she simply couldn't begin to deal with a flurry of emotions so quickly.

"I must also apologize, King Doldo... I will be more careful in the future." Enel said while nodding sagely. Making Viola blush a bit, and making Doldo raise an eyebrow.

'In the future? ... Oh, how quickly they grow...' Doldo thought to himself with a smile. Enel didn't mean it in that way though, but it barely mattered anymore.

"I can't possibly be mad at the one that saved our kingdom. I believe such a joyous occasion deserves a feast!" Doldo said, gaining cheers from all around him.

Many lives were lost, but just as many as were saved. And now, after so many years, they were finally free. Free from shackles so devious that many didn't even know about them.

Free from being manipulated, used and thrown away on a sadistic Warlord's whim.

Enel sweated a bit when hearing the proclamation... 'A day or two of celebration won't be too bad... Right?'
