Will walked out of the bedroom. One of the six sergeants guarding Alba, the Empire's Guardian God Falcon Bell, was already waiting respectfully outside the door. He took the Arabastian breakfast bread from Maddie and said to Falcon Bell while walking.
"Bale, as I said, the weekly court meeting is after nine in the morning. It's only eight now, right?”
"Just to witness your heroic bearing earlier. Not only me, but all the officials are already waiting for you, Your Majesty.”Hayato's meticulous face had a slight smile on it.
The majesty of this king was growing stronger by the day, but there were still times when he had a carefree and lazy personality that couldn't be erased. At this time, the king was the real him.
Will took the towel and wiped his mouth, then handed it to Merle. He smiled and didn't say anything. Finally, he took the black cloak with golden edges, which represented the identity of the emperor, and stepped into the palace hall.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
The guards of honor lined up on both sides played the Arabastan to welcome the king.
Will walked on the red carpet and looked at the people on both sides. Everyone bowed and half-knelt.
"Your Majesty!"
Not long after, the Council Hall under the throne was no longer as cold as it used to be. More than 30 cities were reorganized, and huge manpower was released. The military power had also been strengthened unprecedentedly. There were more than 100 people who were qualified to face the king. This was the initial level of central power.
Velcius walked up to the throne step by step. He turned around and looked at the black official robe that he had designed because he liked black. He finally felt the feeling of being the one emperor in history. Although there was no need to kneel three times or kowtow nine times to meet the king of this world, the basic one-knee kneeling ceremony was still strictly observed as a subject.
"Get up." he said.
Everyone rose to their feet. This set of ancient Arabastian etiquette was rarely carried out in the era of the King of Kobra. It was not only because of the kindness of the King of Kobra, but also because the personnel was loose due to the lack of a central power. It was not like the current high level of concentration, where the emperor's dignity was imperceptibly lifted to the top.
"Your Majesty, banks have been opened in the thirty-four cities in Arabastan, and the new currency is in the process of being issued. However, the new currency we are issuing is still not as popular as Bailey.”the finance minister reported.
"After all, the new currency can only be used within the borders of Arabastan. It's understandable.”Will smiled and waved his hand, signaling for the next report.
" Your Majesty, the current population survey is coming to an end…"
" Your Majesty, the army is very enthusiastic now. There are many people who want to see you…"
"Your Majesty, the previous Bird Claw troops have been canceled. Should we establish a new special force?”
" The Burial Hall still needs to strengthen its guards…"
………………………………
These government affairs had already been discussed by the officials, but the final decision still had to be made by Weier. Fortunately, he wasn't the weak chicken emperor from Earth, but a general whose combat strength was at the peak of superhumans. Therefore, he didn't feel tired even if he had to deal with government affairs for the whole day.
After the court meeting, all the officials began to get busy. As the king, Will returned to the government office of the palace.
There were still too few high-end talents who could be called. After thinking about it, Will felt that he had to recruit some talents who could be called. At present, even the four members of the Bird's Claw Army in Arabastan were not presentable. It was just that he had no choice. If there was no one else, he would force them to take over. Only Falcon Bell and Hu Lang were barely able to take over.
The talents that could be recruited at the moment…
Will silently wrote down a few names on the paper.
Trafalgar Rowe.
It's very peaceful.
It was possible to recruit both of them because they had their own goals to accomplish. One was to take revenge, and the other was to protect. However, it was not easy…If he wanted to recruit Ro, he would have to deal with Heavenly Yaksha Doframingo, and if he wanted to recruit Shen Ping, he would have to face the Four Emperors, Bigummam!
And…
Thinking of the last person, Will's pen paused. The paper in his hand froze into crystals and finally shattered into powder in absolute zero.
"Your Majesty, the people sent by the World Government have arrived.”
Maddie's voice came from outside the door.
Will replied.
"Let him in."
The door of the government office slowly opened, and as a tall and burly figure walked into the hall, Will, who was a little distracted, suddenly became alert. His gaze was slightly sluggish as he looked at the old man with a smile on his face. His heart trembled.
His hedgehog-like purple hair was spread out in all directions, and he wore a pair of dark sunglasses on his wrinkled old face. His huge mechanical right arm had a cold metallic luster, and a heart-palpitating aura was emitted from this burly and powerful body. There was no doubt that he had the combat strength of a general.
Former General, Black Wrist Zefa Z!
"Long time no see, King of Arabastan.”Zefa smiled, revealing his white teeth.
This smile wasn't a sign of goodwill in Ville's heart. Although the other party called him King, there was no respect in it. How interesting. The World Government had given him such a difficult problem...
At this time, Zefa hadn't betrayed the navy yet, and he might not have even established a pirate guerrilla team…He had only left the navy after Luffy went out to sea. He was still the same thug in a suit who hated evil like a red dog. He couldn't tolerate any sand in his eyes.
"Although you are a member of the World Government…the person in front of you is the King of Arabastan!”Maddie finally couldn't hold back her dissatisfaction and said. With her experience and knowledge, she definitely didn't know what kind of existence the person in front of her was.
" Little girl," Zefa turned to look at Maddie." He's your king, not mine!"”
"Maddie, leave. This is the former navy general, Blackwrist Zefa.”Will had an extremely gentle smile on his face.
Blackwrist Swamp?
Maddie didn't know what this title meant, but she understood the words 'admiral'. Her expression froze and she didn't know what to do.
"I'm sorry!" She lowered her head and quickly said.
"Go down first, Maddie. Prepare a room for Mr. Zefa.”Will waved his hand.
"Yes, sir! Your Majesty." Maddie turned around and left uneasily.
This fear entered Zefa's eyes. He looked at Will through his sunglasses. This maid's uneasiness wasn't because of fear, but because she was afraid of adding to your burden.
King of Arabastan, Versis.
Looks like I'll have to change my opinion of you.
"It seems that you are a good king.”He changed his previous imposing manner and became a little more amiable.
"You flatter me." Will said with a smile.
Just you wait, Zefa. Wait for the navy and world government that you now view as the foundation of justice to give you the most painful and fatal blow in the near future. Let the world that you have defended for seventy years collapse completely.
Am I your king or not?
