One Piece: True Several Thousand Hands, rampaging across Marineford!

His eyes cautiously scanned the surroundings, confirming something.

relieved.

The king approached Kahn and whispered, "I can't completely trust pirates, but I can see that you are a pirate unlike any other. I admire you after this year of interaction. If you are willing to marry my sister and help her become the Queen of Alabasta, I might consider letting you manage and develop Alabasta, placing the fate of Alabasta entirely in your hands."

"If you think it's okay that my sister is ten years older than you, there's another one. What do you think?"

"..."

Kahn's forehead furrowed in a grid pattern. After a few seconds of hesitation, he replied, "Let me think about it."

The king, his voice agitated and behaving like a terrible ruler, shouted, "No! This must be decided now! If you don't get something out of it, I'm afraid you'll end up devouring Alabasta until there's nothing left!"

“I’m not that scary, am I?” Kahn noticed something amiss but remained composed. “His Majesty has no reason to push his sister away. This isn’t just childish talk from Cobra, is it?”

The king was immediately distraught, his spirits broken, and he seemed to have aged considerably. "Is it really impossible?"

“I agree to the marriage, but I’m still young.” Kahn doesn’t care about the marriage, but others do.

“That’s not a problem. I’ll take you to pay respects to our ancestors first and settle things.” The king smiled and then asked about another matter, “What is your opinion of the Celestial Dragons?”

"They must be exterminated!"

"Pfft~" The king spat out a mouthful of tea and quickly explained, "My Nefertari clan withdrew from the Holy Land Mary Geoise more than 700 years ago, refusing to associate with them. Besides, the Celestial Dragon identity was created by the World Government. We are not Celestial Dragons."

“I understand, I’m talking about everyone who has the identity of a Celestial Dragon.”

"Hoo~" The king took a deep breath, and his heart returned to its original place from his throat.

“Excuse me, Your Majesty.” Kahn picked up the Den Den Mushi from his thigh. “Someone is calling me, and I need to answer it.”

"You're busier than I am, the king. May I ask who it is?"

"Newgate".

"...He's quite an important person. I've finished eating, so I won't disturb you any longer. I'll go out first and have the guard call me after I finish this call."

"..."

Kahn nodded.

The two of them finished their meal.

The king left the room.

Finding the trio waiting nearby, he said to them, amidst their expectant gazes, "Kahn, I'm going to be your uncle-in-law in the future."

"Really?! Yay!"

Upon hearing this news, Cobra was overjoyed and vowed never to tell anyone what he had heard that day. He then took Neferutari Titi with him to play with his friends, a rare moment of happiness for him.

"This time, your brother has sacrificed his only sister."

“Brother, you don’t need to blame yourself. As a member of the Nefertari clan, I am ready to sacrifice myself to restore the glory of our ancestors. Besides, it’s not really a sacrifice. Apart from being a little young, there are few people on the sea who are more outstanding than him.”

“You are my only sister. To be honest, with Kahn’s qualities, there are few men on the high seas who can compare to him. This kid’s future potential is unimaginable.”

The king sighed, "I settled things with you first only so you could get on his side. Whether you two will actually work out is very unlikely. I have to admit he moved me. I really have nothing better to offer than my only sister to guarantee my entry into this relationship."

"Pfft~ Bro, you didn't even get a chance to speak."

"You're joking with your brother, aren't you? This marriage is for profit; you'll never get married in your life."

Neferutali Nana smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons, and said, "I think this is great. I don't want to get married. I want to stay in Alabasta forever..."

"Try dating and see. If it doesn't work out, I'm sure Kahn won't care. He's a very proud person at heart. My only concern is that you'll get caught up in it." The king teased, "At that time... tsk tsk tsk~ I'm really afraid that my only sister will be heartbroken and cry every day."

“No way!” Neferutari Nana pouted. “Brother, you’re betting Alabasta on a twelve-year-old kid. It seems you want to do what our ancestors always wanted to do. Are you worried about Cobra?”

The king nodded and said, "Kobbra really worries me. He may become a king who loves his people, but he will never be a capable king. He doesn't have the qualifications. If the future of Alabasta is entrusted to him, I'm afraid I won't dare to close my eyes in peace."

“I’ve always been worried about what the World Government might do to him. It’s good to find a way for him in advance so that he doesn’t have to be forced to do things he doesn’t like.”

Naferutali Nana said with a smile, "I believe in my brother's decision. I will marry Kahn on behalf of Alabasta, but I will not get involved."

"Hahaha! I hope so." The king laughed heartily. "His genius surpasses my imagination. Perhaps he is the one our ancestors have been waiting for all along, who has crossed time and reappeared on the sea—the will of Joy Boy..."

“No, he doesn’t seem like the world-changing Joy Boy described by our ancestors.” Neferutari Nana shook her head, but she had a different opinion of Kahn. “He’s more special, more unique.”

"..."

“Brother, please don’t look at me like that, okay?” Neferutari Nana pointed to the room not far away. “Aren’t we lying to him? I have a feeling this dinner party…”

"Hahaha! My sister, do you really think he doesn't know?" The king laughed heartily. He wasn't very good at governing the country, but he was very good at judging people. He was a qualified king because he understood people's hearts. "I'm finding a way out for Alabasta."

Neferutari Nana covered her mouth, her face filled with shock, and said, "So we rehearsed for several days, and he ended up cooperating with us the whole time?"

"Yes." The king was deeply moved by this. He had no say from beginning to end, yet he felt comfortable and satisfied with the exchange.

With so many benefits to be gained, who wouldn't be satisfied?

At most, it's a gamble on fate.

"Brother, he's not like you, is he? I suddenly feel that it's good to be as innocent as Cobra."

“Cobra is not suited to be a king, nor is he a qualified leader to rule a country.” The king sighed. “He is not my type. I am not that capable. With his charisma, he would disdain what I do. No one I have ever met has the same charisma.”

"I think so too. He's quite different from my brother."

"..."

Why does this girl always seem to be heading outwards?!

"He is the kind of person who can change the world." The king grew increasingly worried about his only sister.

"If I were younger, I probably would have decisively given up the throne to follow him, but I can't now. I am the king of a country, and I cannot abandon my people and just walk away."

“We both got what we wanted, except for that silly boy Cobra… who really thought he had gained a new uncle. It was definitely the right decision. He has no right to be a king.”

Naferutari Nana smiled and said, "I know why Titi likes to follow Cobra. Even though Cobra is so much worse than Kahn, she hasn't wavered."

"I actually hope you two can become a couple."

"I want to stay in Alabasta forever."

Chapter 131 The Old Man Who Wanted to See Kahn

The king watched his sister's retreating figure.

I'm very worried.

Her younger sister was clever and quick-witted from a young age, and had a high opinion of herself, unlike Nefertari Titi, who devoted herself to her foolish son.

Recently.

The king tried to simulate various scenarios in his mind, but he could not simulate this particular situation.

This was completely unexpected.

But upon closer examination...

With so many benefits... what's the purpose?

Do you intend to devour the entire Alabasta, skin and bones?

The king had known Kahn for over a year, and his perception of Kahn was that he possessed unimaginable talent, formidable strength, undisguised confidence and charisma, and limitless potential.

Such a large investment must indicate a grand ambition.

Fortunately, he could see that Kahn was not a vicious and ambitious pirate, but a man with great ambitions and hidden talents.

Such a person would never set his sights on Alabasta.

It's the whole world.

They probably wanted even more than the previous era's sea overlord, Rocks. The Rocks Pirates once produced countless monsters.

inside the room.

Kahn was quite certain that Alabasta would fall into his hands in the future, and that his method was clearly better than Crocodile's, which had taken many years to seize power.

As for Crocodile, go play in the mud.

After stealing a country for so many years, he gained nothing but lost his spirit. He languished for years, went to find Hades instead of improving his strength, and even his strength declined significantly. He was defeated by a newcomer and lost his status as a Shichibukai.

Hades' dream also came to nothing.

The phrase "life is full of ups and downs" perfectly describes Crocodile's life.

And now Alabasta.

He's got his back!

He wouldn't care too much about the arranged marriage, but he wouldn't completely disregard it either.

The future of Alabasta is tied to itself.

Kahn will not stand idly by, and he can also leverage Alabasta's prestige and the importance of the superpower.

He rose from an evil pirate standing on the opposite side of justice to a member of the ruling class.

He would use this identity to develop his power and accumulate strength, so as to defeat all the corrupt nobles and royal families, overthrow the backward order, and overthrow the Celestial Dragons.

And the King of Alabasta can rest assured.

Neferutari Nana arranged a so-called marriage with him.

It's just for show.

The two had no emotional foundation whatsoever.

He answered the Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter).

The expression on the Den Den Mushi in his hand changed to Newgate's expression.

"Uncle Newgate, is there something you need?"

"Ku~lalalala! Kahn, were you busy just now?"

“I was just having dinner with the King of Alabasta.”

"..."

"Huh?!!"

Newgate on the other end of the Den Den Mushi was stunned.
