One Piece: Transform into the Eight Great Demons!

coincide.

An interesting coincidence

The current king of Dressrosa, Riku Dold III, has somewhat similar ideas to Kobra.

He also doesn’t care about the “historic relics” in the country.

As for the actions of the Five Old Stars against [Devils], King Riku didn't care, thinking that Mr. Lindsay was enough to deal with them.

He had no reason to oppose Wulaoxing.

But on the other hand, it would be better if we could take this opportunity to meet the Five Old Stars to resolve the doubts in our hearts.

There are some "questions" about Dressrosa.

"..."

Cobra raised his hand slightly, signaled to King Liku, and then asked: "Your Excellency, King Liku, what are you doing here?"

Although he had already made some inferences in his heart, Kobra still wanted to hear what King Ku said personally.

King Liku has a cheerful personality, so he is naturally willing to answer questions.

He rubbed his chin and grinned:

"After Mr. Lindsay appeared, I studied the history of Dressrosa again out of curiosity."

"I found a problem——"

"As we all know, the royal family that once ruled Dressrosa was the Don Quixote family."

"After the Don Quixote family became Celestial Dragons and settled in the Holy Land Marijoa, we and the Riku family became the rulers of Dressrosa."

"But the strange thing is that this legend is well known, but no written records were left at the time."

"In this case, is the Don Quixote family still the legitimate ruler of Dressrosa?"

King Liku paused.

"Not long ago, Don Quixote Den Doflamingo, who had just become King Shichibukai, intended to steal the entire country."

"Although it failed in the end, I also realized that the identity of the 'legitimate ruler' is very crucial. Dressrosa must maintain its identity as a franchising country."

"So, I plan to meet with the Five Old Stars and ask them to confirm the orthodox ruler of Dressrosa in order to maintain domestic stability."

"..."

Hearing this, Kobra thought for a moment, then nodded, "That's true."

According to the rumors Cobra heard, Riku Dold III was a benevolent and warlike king who was not particularly good at politics.

This is indeed the case.

Cobra could feel that although King Riku's move was reckless, he was also determined.

"In that case, let's go together."

Kobra extended his hand to signal, and King Liku immediately stepped forward and walked side by side with Kobra.

The two stepped forward and pushed the door open.

…

Click!

Behind the huge stone gate is the interior of a magnificent palace.

An ornate carpet leads to the front.

Not far away, there is a stone staircase with a large number of "swords" stuck on the platform above.

Each sword represents a country that is a member of the world government!

Further up, there is the "Throne of the Void" that every royal family is familiar with.

When participating in a regular world conference, every king of the participating countries needs to come here and take a solemn oath.

The content of the oath is to promise that the kings of each country will maintain "equality" and have no dictatorial thoughts, etc.

In front of the Void Throne, there are nineteen weapons inserted.

Those weapons are the oaths signed by the "first twenty people" who created this world.

And the location of the Void Throne is exactly the center of the world!

When no one is seated, it symbolizes world peace.

Just like the most powerful person in the world, he is the Five Old Stars with the highest status among the Celestial Dragons.

No one can be called the "king" of this world!

The above is the meaning of "Throne of the Void"!

…

Both Kobra and King Riku knew this very well.

It is indeed reasonable for Wulaoxing to choose this meeting place.

The most formal, recent and symbolic.

"..."

Kobra and King Liku looked up and saw five figures not far away.

The five old stars, wearing black suits, stood in front of the two kings, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

Their eyes came over to examine Kobra and King Riku.

More eyes were paying attention to Kobra.

Obviously, the Five Old Stars are more concerned about the problem of "Nefertari Kobra" than King Riku who is making up the numbers.

One of the Five Old Stars spoke first and said:

"King of Alabasta - Kobra, what do you want to ask?"

Kobra responded: "Well, where should I start..."

He thought about it over and over again and spoke eloquently.

"The organization [World Government] was established by the 'twenty kings' 800 years ago."

"As the creators, their entire clan was able to move to Mariejoia."

"Later, their people were also called the 'Celestial Dragons', and they have been at the top of the world for eight hundred years."

"——Because, there must be absolute equality within the 'Twenty Kings'."

"In order to prevent any one person from ruling the country, they deliberately created a 'vacant' throne, which is now the Void Throne."

"The kings swore that no one should ever sit on this throne, and they surrounded it with twenty weapons each."

Kobra looked at King Riku aside and continued:

"On the other hand, the twenty countries that lost their royal families all elected new kings, and they continue to this day."

"Therefore, the names of the royal families who were among the 'First Twenty' have long since disappeared from their respective homelands."

Then, Kobra changed the topic and looked at the Five Old Stars.

"But Alabasta is different!"

"The king at that time - Queen 'Lily' of the Neferutari family, although she was among the 'First Twenty', she did not become a 'Celestial Dragon'."

"Because she returned to Alabasta, the 'Neferutari Clan' became today."

"So, to be precise, there are only nineteen weapons in front of the throne."

"..."

Listening to Kobra's words, the Five Old Stars were a little puzzled.

"We're not here for a history lesson, King Kobra."

"Everything is as you said, what next?"

"..."

Cobra took a deep breath and then continued:

"I've read every ancient book in the country."

"All we know are the documentary records after the 'Blank Hundred Years'."

"But in those ancient books and documents, I can't find Queen Lily's name at all!"

"She did not return to the Kingdom of Alabasta."

"Queen Lily's brother was the one who later ruled Alabasta."

"What do you know about Queen Lily?"

"..."

Saint Satan, one of the Five Old Stars, heard the words and answered first:

"I thought you wanted to ask something..."

"That was more than 800 years ago."

"Indeed, only the Neferutari family did not live in the Holy Land back then."

"But we only assume that she returned to her motherland on her own. We have no way of knowing the specific reasons and her subsequent whereabouts."

"Sorry, we really don't know."

"..."

Faced with such an impeccable answer, Kobra was silent for a moment, and then asked:

"So, what does [D] mean?"

"?!"

This sentence was like thunder, exploding in Wulaoxing's ears.

Cobra had a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead, and then explained: "In fact, Queen Lily once sent a letter back, and it was passed down from generation to generation in the Nefertari clan."

"..."

Before Kobra finished speaking, he suddenly saw a dark shadow coming from the side of the Void Throne.

The slender black shadow advanced slowly and finally sat on the Void Throne.

The shadow's pupils turned, looked at Kobra, and then looked at King Riku of Dressrosa.

"Mu still remembers those 'destructions'."

The black shadow opened his mouth and said faintly:

"Cobra, having too much imagination is not a good thing..."
