Pirates: Usurping a Kingdom Is Surprisingly Easy

Several days later, three warships appeared at the entrance to the Grand Line in the West Blue.

"I never thought we'd enter the Grand Line from the West Blue." Aramaki looked at the surging Reverse Mountain current, his eyes filled with emotion. Born in the South Blue, Aramaki had neither entered the Grand Line from the South Blue nor from the East Blue, where the Goa Empire was located. Instead, he followed Kael all the way from the South Blue to Mary Geoise, then entered the West Blue, and finally the starting point of the Grand Line.

"I hope to meet Hawkeye Mihawk in the Grand Line!" Zoro's eyes were filled with determination. He heard that the territory of the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk, was on the former site of the destroyed Shikkearu Kingdom. That island was named Kuraigana Island.

"We're finally entering the Grand Line. I've been looking forward to this for a long time." Before following Kael, Eric had been lurking near the Grand Line entrance in the East Blue, hunting down rookie pirate crews. He felt that his strength was more than enough to make a living in the Grand Line.

"During this journey through the Grand Line, I must advance to the strength of a Viscount." Saga glanced at Zoro. He couldn't fall too far behind his junior disciple.

"This time, we can finally sail all the way through." Nami was still regretting not being able to land at Marineford and Sabaody Archipelago. This time, she definitely had to draw a navigation map of the Grand Line.

"His Majesty's itinerary actually includes Drum Kingdom, the great medical nation of the Grand Line. I must study hard and buy more medical books." Kaya looked at the Eternal Pose in Nami's treasure chest, her pure eyes filled with anticipation.

"Your esteemed Majesty, are you specifically going to visit Alabasta?" Reiju saw the Alabasta Eternal Pose that Kael had already prepared in the Goa Empire.

"Alabasta is the territory of Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. There have been constant disturbances there these past few years. However, I heard that the princess of Alabasta, Nefertari Vivi, is already very beautiful at 14 or 15. I wonder if Your Majesty has any ideas? Perhaps you could be a hero saving a beauty~" Reiju picked up the Alabasta Eternal Pose and chuckled softly. She knew that Kael would never go to an 'unprofitable' country for no reason. Was Kael targeting Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, or was he eyeing the princess of Alabasta, hoping to form a marriage alliance with this special nation?

"Your Majesty, are you going to marry another princess through alliance?" Baby5 pouted, immediately hugged Kael's arm, and rubbed against him intimately. She didn't want to see so many women sharing Kael's love. One should know that in the Imperial Palace of the Goa Empire, there were more than a dozen princesses from Allied Nations who had joined through marriage alliances. Fortunately, those princesses, like Empress Sally, were all weaklings and had no chance to accompany Kael at sea. This allowed her and Reiju to monopolize Kael's favor on the Exile Emperor.

Hearing the words of these two empresses, Reiju and Baby5, Nojiko bit her lip lightly, her eyes flickering with conflicted emotions. As for Nami and Kaya, they already knew that Emperor Kael was only interested in adult beauties. They could only focus their energy on learning knowledge for now and figure out a way later.

"Ahem, I'm just going to visit this superpower of the Grand Line. The matter of marriage alliance is purely Reiju's wild guess." Kael wouldn't admit to these things now. However, if he were to marry Nefertari, he wondered if he could directly apply to become a Celestial Dragon. This way, Kael could use the guise of a Celestial Dragon to greatly expand his influence, and even openly dominate the Allied Nations of the entire East Blue.

Aside from the path of Nefertari as a Celestial Dragon, he could only rely on his powerful strength to be specially recruited by the God's Knights as a God's Knight and a Celestial Dragon. However, the Summit War had not yet broken out, and Marineford and the World Government had not shown any decline. It was estimated that the God's Knights would not be expanding their recruitment. The future God's Knights, who wanted to recruit the giant prince Loki to become a Celestial Dragon and a God's Knight, were eyeing Loki's powerful strength and Elbaf's combat power.

However, Reiju's suggestion was worth considering. It's just that Vivi's age is a bit too young right now, making it awkward to act. Perhaps they should first set the marriage alliance? This would also allow him to openly interfere with Crocodile's, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, conspiracy. Now that Kael's wings were fully grown, taking down a Seven Warlords of the Sea was no big deal at all. Marrying into the Nefertari family was both to achieve Kael's goal and to give the World Government a reason. After all, one couldn't just act against a Seven Warlords of the Sea directly under the World Government for no reason.

"Is that so, Your Majesty~?" Reiju immediately saw that Kael definitely had ulterior motives and covetousness. As a Vinsmoke royal family that had been passed down for hundreds of years, Reiju, of course, also knew that the Nefertari family of Alabasta was one of the Twenty Kings from 800 years ago. They held a very high position in the World Government, so much so that they didn't even need to pay celestial tribute.

"You really want to guess my thoughts, don't you?"

"Then guess what I want to do now?" Kael pulled Reiju into his arms, staring mischievously at the pink-haired imperial consort.

"…" Reiju shyly rolled her eyes at Kael, not daring to tease her man any further.
