One Piece and the Celestial Dragon - Chapter 40 Alabasta 2

Nefertari Cobra, Vivi, and all high ranking members of this kingdom stood in front of a handsome young man.

Cobra couldn’t help but frown. This guy wasn’t only a Celestial Dragon, he was a famous guy that shocked the whole world. Why did this guy come to his kingdom?

„It’s a pleasure to meet you, King Cobra. Oh, Princess Vivi, you are even more beautiful than I thought. I’m happy to meet you, too”

Ezio had many faces. Sometimes he was silly, sometimes he was shameless, at other times he was serious. This time he was like an elegant noble, proud but respectful. Cobra and Vivi liked this attitude, because Celestial Dragons weren’t really nice to them. Especially after they refused to go to the Holy Land.

„Young lord, why are you visiting our kingdom?”

Cobra came right to the topic. To tell the truth, this guy wasn’t happy with the World Government and their policies. So he wasn’t really welcoming towards Ezio.

„You can call me Ezio, and my purpose for visiting your kingdom is to propose you an alliance with my organization”

All the people in the room frowned. Wasn’t Alabasta a kingdom that was allied with the World Government? There was no need to propose an alliance. Only King Cobra noticed the hidden meaning behind his sentence. He was an experienced king. After he saw the actions of this young man at Paradise Island and then his arrival at his own kingdom, he knew that this guy had shocking plans.

„We are strangers, and I know to ask for an alliance at this point isn’t convincing. You all saw my behavior, the whole world saw it. With the history you had with one of the Shichibukai, I think you can come to a conclusion why I would arrive here. An alliance can’t be build between strangers, so I will give you time to think about it. Let me make you a suggestion”

Ezio looked at Cobra who had a thoughtful expression. He smiled and continued.

„One of your men will join my organization. I will train him, he will learn what we want to achieve, and he will help us to achieve it. This person will be the middle man between your kingdom and my organization. He can tell you if it is worth to become one of my allies or not. On the other side, your kingdom will have my full protection, and you don’t have to give me something in return. I want to build trust between us, I don’t want to suppress you with power or a contract. This is very important, and I need your help if we want to change this world”

After Cobra heard the last sentence, he was shocked. What was this guy planing? If a pirate told you he would change the world, then it wasn’t something that would surprise him. This guy was a Celestial Dragon! When these words were said by him, it had a bigger impact.

Koza, who stood behind Cobra, walked towards Ezio.

„Let me join you and see what that organization of yours truly wants to achieve”

Ezio and Cobra were surprised that Koza was so interested in this alliance.

Koza was the leader of the rebellion in the Alabasta arc. Ezio thought that this guy was weak but he was a good leader and people had respect for him. Another thing that was positive about him was that he didn’t ate a devil fruit. It was hard to find strong people in this world who didn’t have the power of devil fruits. He had too many of them and had problems to find good people that could eat them. When he came to Alabasta, he didn’t thought about recruiting this guy, but after he saw him with his own eyes he couldn’t help but like this guy.

Koza had his own motivation. He saw how weak he was and that a single pirate could destroy the nation he loved. Koza saw the strength of this young man, and he wanted to see the world and become strong, so no one can harm Alabasta in the future. Ezio was the best opportunity for him to have someone strong that could train him.

„Alright. You will join me. King Cobra, every month, Koza will come to your kingdom and will report you what we are up to. Even I can come over if you have questions”

Now Cobra was confused.

„How can you come here so often? I don’t think that a man like you will stay all this time on the Grand Line”

„Let me show you”

After that Walter Benson appeared. This poor man looked skinny and a little bit sick.

After that Cobra, Vivi, Ezio and Benson appeared on Amazon Lily.

Cobra and Vivi looked shocked.

„This is Amazon Lily, it is one of my territories. With the ability of Benson, we can arrive at you kingdom whenever we want. If you have trouble, just give us a call, and I send my strongest people to your aid. Even if it is a Shichibukai, we will defend your kingdom”

After Cobra heard that he was on the famous island that was a dream for all men, he looked a little bit like a pervert.

Ezio looked at the distance and what he saw shocked him.

„Isn’t this ship… Isn’t this the place were Gild Tesoro lived? What is this ship doing in Amazon Lily… Don’t tell me Hancock really stole this huge thing? Damn it, this was only a joke… No wonder Benson is so skinny and sick. Sorry, bro…”

Ezio couldn’t think further because he heard an angry voice.

„EEEEEZIO!”

This was Hancocks voice. Ezio was a little bit scared.

„You bastard! Why did we kidnap so many beautiful women? The jail in our ship is full of women, and all of them are beautiful! Even after you send me to kill this Tesoro guy, I had to kidnap two women… and they are beautiful, too! What are you planning, you bastard? I’m gonna’ kill you!”

A woman with two fox tails that was surrounded by a purple aura was flying towards them. Ezio was never so scared in his life.

„Benson, bring us back or we will die!”

Bensons reaction was good. He immediately brought them back to Alabasta. Where the four people stood previously was now a huge hole. This hole was the result of Hancocks anger…

Back in Alabasta, Cobra and Vivi looked at Ezio with a strange expression.

„Well, that was my vice-leader. You know, she is a little bit jealous…”

Ezio was annoyed. He wanted to show his new allies his best side, but Hancock destroyed it in a second…
