Hancock hummed a song and was lost in thought. She personally took a towel and repeatedly wiped Ezekiel's throne, as well as his desk where he usually works. Since she arrived in Alubarna, she had changed quite a bit, and Fujitora understood this less and less.
Initially, she had been arrogant and rude, but now she was polishing the Royal throne? What wonderful changes she had undergone!
The blind man sighed, hoping that after Nami's return, the peaceful atmosphere in this hall wouldn't become terrifying.
Ezekiel smiled and played chess with Fujitora.
Although Fujitora was actually blind, he wasn't unaware. He could play chess or things like that.
Few women in this world possess greater beauty than the Empress. But, after all, Ezekiel was from 21st-century Earth, and it couldn't be said that he had never seen the world. He believed he could resist the Empress's charm.
Even if she used her Devil Fruit, Ezekiel hoped he wouldn't turn to stone, as he possessed Royal Haki.
At that moment, a breathless and panicked Robin burst into the hall.
All three of them looked up. It was the first time they had seen Robin so agitated.
"What's the matter?" Ezekiel asked.
Looking at Ezekiel with a complex expression, Robin hesitated for a moment, calmed her breathing, and slowly handed a newspaper to him.
"It's a World Government newspaper."
Hancock recognized this ancient thing; newspapers hadn't been seen in Alabasta for a long time.
The World Government must have sent out some terrible news.
Taking the newspaper, Ezekiel glanced at it and was slightly stunned and a bit bewildered.
Fujitora's usually half-closed eyes were now fully open, showing a rather shocked expression. He never expected that Ezekiel had such an incredible personality, but from Ezekiel's expression, it seemed this news was credible. No wonder the World Government made a compromise!
Moreover, Ezekiel even dared to kill a Celestial Dragon, knowing that sooner or later the World Government would uncover it!
If the World Government even slightly doubts that Charlos is a real Celestial Dragon, this lie will definitely be exposed and the World Government will find out that Charlos is dead.
"The Royal Family of Alabasta is one of the twenty royal families that created the world!"
"Ezekiel Nefertari - a Celestial Dragon living among ordinary people!"
Ezekiel squinted slightly. The fact that the World Government displayed this information might actually be good. His Royal Family refused to live in Mary Geoise, renounced the privileges of the Celestial Dragons, and chose to live among regular people!
Now, thanks to the World Government, the whole world knows that Ezekiel is a Celestial Dragon! Which effectively deprives him of the former rights to the Celestial Dragon privileges. Even if he decides to leave his country and move to Mary Geoise now, it would be impossible.
Hancock's pupils narrowed, and the towel silently dropped from her hands as she stared at Ezekiel in disbelief…
The Royal Family of Alabasta - Celestial Dragons!
And yet Ezekiel continued to stand against the World Government and even killed a Celestial Dragon.
But he is also a Celestial Dragon!
After all, if you think about it: ordinary people would never go against the World Nobles!
Clearly, this is a dirty struggle among the World Nobles!
"You..." her face flushed, Hancock trembled all over, gritted her teeth, and said nothing more.
An unbearable feeling of deceit and resentment welled up in her heart. As a woman, she felt this intolerable pain for the first time, and her eyes gradually filled with tears. She gritted her teeth and slowly turned her head, unwilling to see anyone. She coldly said to Ezekiel :
"I don't want to stay here."
Ezekiel said nothing, knowing it was useless to speak now. To some extent, the World Government's ploy had indeed caused him some harm.
"Is it true?" asked Nico Robin, regaining her composure. It didn't matter to her whether he was a Celestial Dragon or not, so she calmly asked her question.
"Halfway," Ezekiel calmly took a chess piece and moved it on the board in front of him. "The Nefertari Family founded the World Government alongside nineteen other kings 800 years ago, but... my ancestor refused to leave the country and move to Mary Geoise, so he didn't receive the privileges of the Celestial Dragon title, which means that to the current Celestial Dragons, the Nefertari are traitors... I don't know what happened 800 years ago. Only one thing is certain: to the World Government, the Nefertari Family has been a traitor all these 800 years.
Traitors…
Fujitora nodded thoughtfully.
"So now the World Government has revived old resentments and announced to the world that Ezekiel Nefertari is a traitor Celestial Dragon, settling old scores with the Celestial Dragons, which is why he took Celestial Dragon Charlos hostage."
Originally, the reason Ezekiel became popular was because he challenged the authority of the World Government.
And those who hated the World Government and the Marines, controlled by the Celestial Dragons, joined the Royal Fleet of Alabasta.
But now they find themselves still under the thumb of the Celestial Dragons. Though they couldn't leave the Royal Fleet to return to the Patrol, they couldn't remain completely indifferent either.
But the most remarkable aspect of the World Government's scheme isn't this.
Now all the actions Ezekiel took, putting the world in danger, have a reasonable explanation.
Why is he so unscrupulous and unpunished?
Because he himself is an unscrupulous Celestial Dragon!
It's not that the World Government is criminal, it's that Will himself demonstrates the criminality of the World Government.
"What are you going to do?" Robin asked quietly.
Ezekiel paused with a strange smile.
"Actually, you've probably forgotten, Alabasta—doesn't give up.
The Nefertari Family are Celestial Dragons!
The whole world is buzzing with this news, spreading rumors!
Rumors cannot be stopped, Ezekiel knew this truth, so he didn't try to refute them.
Everyone is waiting for a response from the Royal Family of Alabasta, the strongest nation in the world, and even the citizens of Alabasta.
