Chương 68: Visiting the King of Drum Kingdom
While the crew members were going around the island, the trio of Alex, Franco, and Robin were going to visit the king on top of the tallest mountain on the island to look for the current king. Since it was high up the mountain, they took a long time to get to the castle. They still climbed up and finally arrived at the top of the mountain where they saw a big and beautiful icy-looking castle which is where the royal family and their guards live.
"Damn, this is a really nice castle. It is only perfect for the royal family of this island." said Alex while looking at the castle. "Yeah, it really is a nice castle. I wonder if I can go to their library and see the history of this island or maybe something more interesting." replied Robin.
"Well, the king will not meet with us outside. Let's go in." said Alex as the three of them went inside the castle but were stopped by the castle's royal guards which looked pretty powerful.
"Halt. What business do you have with our King." said one of the guards who were guarding the big wooden door of the castle. "We're here to speak with your king. So let us in." said Alex while staring at the guard who was sweating because of his stare. 'What is with his aura? Why does this guy's aura so cold and murderous?' thought the guard but still stood his ground and said, "Y-y-you s-still cannot me-meet with o-our king!"
But Alex and his group did not mind the stuttering guard and just went into the castle. The guards were frozen in place and they did not try to stop them since they might get killed before they even know it. "Where did these monsters come from? Hopefully, they don't cause too much damage to the castle and just talk to the king like they wanted." said the other guard who could not utter a word a while ago.
While the trio is on their way to the king of the kingdom, the other crew members like Law and the twins were going around town to ask for information about the doctors on the island or the school where they can train aspiring doctors. They do this so that they can learn with the other doctors or exchange some notes with the professors since Alex has told them about his plans to put this island under his protection.
All of them know that Alex would not do this without payment but they do not know that he plans to turn this island into a doctor factory for his future grand fleet. They just know that he would most likely get something in return for his crew's protection in the future as now their strength is not on par with the powerhouses of the world. But Alex is using the fact that his crew and fleet have the potential to be one of the most powerful crew and fleet in the future.
And they all know that Alex is trying his hardest to make everything possible and all of them support him very much as they also have their dreams and goals. These dreams and goals in the end would be fulfilled because Alex promised them they would. That is how much they believe in their Captain's words because they have seen his strength and determination to achieve his goals along with their goals.
Away from Law and the twins, were the other crew members who were just going around the island. Braga was with Katarina and Dante as they visited various restaurants, pubs, bars, etc. to learn about their cuisine for Braga and how to effectively integrate an information network for Katarina and Dante. While Petronia with Cierra went around to look for merchants who they could learn how to make and use money since Cierra wanted to establish her own chamber of commerce. Well for Petronia, she was just bored and wanted to go somewhere with someone who was not going into weapon stores or shady places.
Speaking of weapon stores and shady places, the two groups of three were Fraulein, Van Augur, and Baby 5 for the first group and Laffitte, Monet, and Sugar for the second group. The first group went to the weapons stores around the island to familiarize themselves with the guns of this island since there are different weapons on every island they visit.
Fraulein, who wanted to be a master of any weapon tried out everything and was surprised at how different the weapons are since he has used a lot of weapons in his time at the arena. While Van Augur and Baby 5 checked out all of the guns so that they can become deadly gunners with whatever gun they use. Van Augur was surprised at how many guns there were available for him to use. So, he tested them all out at the shooting range, and to no surprise, he pretty much destroyed the bullseye. Baby 5 only separated with Law because Law told her to look for guns for him and her. And being the lovestruck girl that she is, agreed and went with Fraulein and Van Augur to go to every weapon shop on the island.
(Scene Break)
After walking around the castle, Alex's group finally reached the throne room where they saw the king of Drum Kingdom, Rapol. Rapol was sitting upon his throne which looked very beautiful with its ice-like texture and gives a majestic feeling upon looking at it. 'Damn, this throne is really fit for the king of this island.' thought Alex as he gazed at the king and his throne.
The three of them did not kneel to the king and just went straight to the point, "King Rapol of Drum Kingdom I, 'Asura Hands' Alex, have a proposition for you that could help your country prosper for years to come!" the king's advisors were enraged as no one dared to speak to the king that way and some of them began shouting "You disrespectful brat! You dare barge into the Throne Room and spout some nonsense in front of the King!"
This went on for some time but Alex got tired of it and just glared at them and said to the king with a mocking smile "So what do you say 'O Mighty King of Drum Kingdom', care to hear this brat's proposition?"

ImStar0710 My novel will still follow the canon timeline, but since my OCs would be added there are more things that would change in the One Piece World. This novel is just a product of my ideas that I got while I was reading about One Piece.
Thank you for reading my novel. Please tell me what you think of the novel and what I can do to improve it.
