One Piece: World Conquest Begins with Creating a Little Empress

"What I'm asking for is for my daughter to marry the head of the Figarand family!"

"And he did it! He casually married my daughter off to one of his sons!"

"How dare a brat who isn't even the eldest son marry my daughter?!"

Cobra was usually a refined king who rarely swore!

But even King Cobra couldn't hold back at this moment, angrily cursing Xia for being inhuman.

Indeed, Alabasta is currently facing an immense crisis, and only by forming a marriage alliance with the Figarand family can it possibly overcome it...

But no, it's not that you can just marry a daughter of any Figaland family member!

Everyone knows that Char Aznable may not have many wives, but he has quite a few children...

Char's children are so numerous they could almost form a football team!

However, among Char's children, only one can become the next head of the Figarand family!

Based on the principle of establishing the eldest son as heir, not the most virtuous; and establishing the son of noble birth, not the eldest son!

Under normal circumstances, the next head of the Figarand family would most likely be Char's eldest son! After all, Char's children didn't suffer the same embarrassing situation as their father, the infamous old beast Garin, whose eldest son was stolen, leaving only the second son to inherit the position of family head...

Therefore, even if Xia doesn't intend to marry Vivi, he should at least arrange for his eldest son to marry her! Only in this way can he be worthy of the members of the Nefit family, who are also descendants of the Figarand family.

To make matters worse, Char's reply to Cobra clearly stated his intention to arrange a marriage between his third son (actually his second son), Figaland Hassavis, and Nefit Vivi, which was a slap in the face to the Nefit family.

"Your Majesty, please calm down..."

"I've heard that His Highness Xia's third son, Hassawi, is also quite extraordinary!"

"At such a young age, he possesses combat capabilities equivalent to a vice admiral or higher in the navy."

In response, the ministers of Alabasta quickly appealed to their emperor.

"At only twelve years old, he already possesses the strength of a Navy Vice Admiral?!"

Cobra's expression softened slightly upon hearing the minister's words.

Cobra's brow was furrowed, as if he were deep in thought...

"According to my calculations, once Hathaway comes of age, it won't be long before he reaches the combat strength of a Navy Admiral!"

"At that time, regardless of whether Hasavi can inherit the position of head of the Figarand family and the vast fortune of Temple Xia!"

"His own strength alone, along with the share that ordinary Celestial Dragons receive from the Celestial Gold each year, is enough to ensure Princess Vivi's lifelong comfort..."

"Your Majesty, I am fully aware of your concerns!"

"Isn't your goal simply to find Princess Vivi a powerful backer so she can live peacefully and happily forever in this chaotic world?!"

"In my opinion, nothing would be safer and happier for Princess Vivi than marrying His Highness Hassawi..."

The minister leaned forward slightly and spoke to Cobra on the throne.

"So you think it's a good thing to let Vivi marry Hassawi?"

As Cobra spoke, he gave the minister a deep look with his cold eyes.

"Forehead……"

"At least in my opinion, it's a good thing."

Feeling the coldness in Cobra's eyes, the minister broke out in a cold sweat, but for the sake of Lord Crocodile's great cause, he nodded in agreement.

"Yeah?!"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Cobra's eyes at this, and he seemed too lazy to say anything more.

As the king of a country, Cobra was certainly not a fool. He knew better than anyone else what had become of the country...

For a moment, he seemed a little tired!

The reason he agreed to the ministers' request and chose to marry into the Figarand family was that he wanted to send his daughter out of this country that had been hollowed out by others!

In that case, he would have no worries and could go all out...

But now...

"A marriage alliance with Khashoggi is certainly a good thing!"

"Hassawi has a dignified appearance and the makings of a king!"

"The girl who marries Hassawi is naturally happy!"

"What girl in this world doesn't want to be an empress?!"

Just as Cobra was yawning and looking sleepy...

Suddenly, a clear and melodious female voice rang out inside the palace!

With a gust of howling wind, a woman wearing a white mask, a white suit, and a snow-white mink cloak appeared in the palace without warning.

"Be bold!"

"Who are you?!"

Why did you trespass into the forbidden area of ​​the royal palace?

The moment the woman appeared, she attracted the attention of everyone present!

The royal warriors who had been guarding the king's side immediately became alarmed upon noticing the woman who had suddenly appeared. They gripped their weapons, approached the woman, and, with cold sweat beading on their foreheads, spoke tremblingly.

Yes, anyone present who wasn't a fool could clearly see that this woman, who could enter their palace without anyone noticing, was not someone these good-for-nothings could handle...

"Ha ha……"

The woman glanced at the soldiers around her with a disdainful smile, her gaze fixed on Cobra on the throne in the distance.

"Ara~"

"If you're not King Cobra, are you here to arrange a marriage alliance with us?!"

"Speaking of which, we're practically in-laws now!"

"Is this how you treat your daughter's future mother-in-law?"

The woman smiled and spoke with a slight upturn of her lips.

"What? You're saying you're my daughter's future mother-in-law?"

Upon hearing this, Cobra's pupils contracted slightly.

He first gently waved to his guards, signaling them to put down their weapons...

He then rose from his throne, slowly moved to stand before Stussy, looked directly at him, and softly inquired, "Who exactly are you, Your Excellency?!"

“My name is Figarand Stussy. I am the first lady of Figarand Chayasan, whom you intend to marry, and also the biological mother of this child, Hasavi.”

Stussy addressed the remarkably courageous Cobra with a smile.

"You say you're His Highness Xia's First Lady, so you're the First Lady?!"

"A person who wears a mask, a coward who doesn't even dare to show his face, how can we trust you?!"

Before King Cobra could speak, the minister could no longer sit still. He looked at Stussy and questioned him.

"This mask isn't one I wanted to wear either..."

"It's just that my husband, Xia Yasheng, is naturally jealous..."

"Therefore, any lowly person who saw my face without my husband's permission had their eyes gouged out!"

"Are you sure you want to risk your eyes just to catch a glimpse of my face?!"

Upon hearing this, Stussy gently turned her head to look at the minister who was trying to persuade her. Her eyes, hidden behind her mask, seemed to see through all the minister's secrets in a short moment. With a slight smile, she deliberately spoke in this way, intending to make things difficult for him.

"Forehead……"

Upon hearing this, the minister immediately shut his mouth and dared not say another word.

The minister dared not gamble. If Stussy really was Xia Yasheng's first lady, he would lose his eyesight for it, which was simply not worth it...

"Shut up! You think you can look at the wives of world nobility?!"

At this moment, Cobra stepped forward and angrily rebuked the minister beside him.

"Your Majesty, I was wrong!"

The minister immediately knelt on one knee and apologized to Cobra.

"I'm sorry, he was also blinded by recent events! He was a bit confused and almost made a mistake here! I apologize to you on his behalf, and I hope you will forgive him..."

In response, Cobra first bowed deeply to Stussy, expressing his apology on behalf of his minister.

Without giving Stussy a chance to say more, Cobra immediately knelt down on one knee before Stussy and respectfully said, "Nefit D. Cobra, the 12th King of the Kingdom of Alabasta, greets the First Lady of the Figarand family!"

"Plop! Plop! Plop..."

As Cobra knelt, the soldiers and ministers present immediately knelt down on one knee as well.

Immediately following Cobra's instructions, they respectfully addressed Stussy, saying, "Greetings, First Lady!"

"I wonder what brings the First Lady to my palace?!"

After bowing to Stussy, Cobra rose shakily from the ground and asked Stussy a question.

"Of course, it's a matter of marriage alliance..."
