After announcing the establishment of the Azure Empire Federation, Zesi brought the Brunei Family to Whole Cake Island.
They are Zesi's relatives. It was difficult to bring them over when they were part of a pirate crew, but now that a country has been established, they have no choice but to bring them over.
But as soon as he took it, Zesi regretted it.
Zesi's father, Wenlai Kate, pressured Zesi to get married as soon as he arrived on Whole Cake Island.
Zesi is getting on in years, and now he has built such a vast empire, yet he still doesn't have a woman by his side.
He was unmarried, had no woman, and had no children.
Kate was deeply worried about the successor to this vast empire.
Zesi will grow old and die someday.
So who will inherit this empire then?
Especially considering that the Azure Empire Federation has so many terrifyingly powerful individuals.
That will definitely cause turmoil and lead to the collapse of the entire empire.
It's not appropriate for others to comment on this matter.
But as Zesi's father, he couldn't help but bring it up.
So on her first day on Whole Cake Island, Wenlai Kate suggested that such a large country could not be without a queen and a queen consort.
They need to choose a wife and queen for Zesi.
Upon hearing the question raised by Kate, everyone in the Azure Emperor Pirates gave their full support.
This greatly frustrated Zesi; where was he supposed to find the Queen and the Empress?
And once you have a woman, driving is inevitable, so will 404 (a Chinese internet slang term for a bot or a bot) appear?
Well, the main reason is that 803, being a bachelor in his previous life and a complete idiot when it comes to love, instinctively feels scared about this.
But this was beyond his control.
Because it was his father who proposed this.
As a father, it's only natural for him to want you to get married and have a son.
Moreover, this matter has the support of everyone in the Azure Empire.
After all, this concerns the very foundation of the nation.
They call it Federation, but in reality it's an empire.
To avoid future chaos in the country due to succession issues, the foundation of the nation must be stabilized as soon as possible.
Moreover, although the Azure Empire Federation currently appears incredibly glorious...
However, in the eyes of many countries, and even the World Government, the Azure Empire is still a pirate crew that could fall apart at any time.
Especially considering that there are so many terrifyingly powerful individuals within the Azure Empire.
If it weren't for the even stronger Zesi above them, they might have already fallen apart.
Therefore, if Zesi had several sons, it would make the kingdoms within the Azure Empire Federation feel more at ease.
This will also reassure other kingdoms in the New World to join the Azure Empire Federation.
After all, with a next generation of heirs, the Azure Empire has a chance to continue.
However, this situation makes Zesi, who has never been in a relationship before, feel very anxious.
Fortunately, given his current status, he doesn't need to be in a relationship.
He only needed to order the selection of an empress and imperial concubines throughout the entire Azure Emperor Territory, and countless beauties would naturally be presented to him.
That same day, Kate, acting on behalf of Zesi, ordered the selection of a consort to begin throughout the entire Azure Empire Federation.
Even Zesi couldn't refuse.
In reality, Zesi only verbally refused; his heart and body were still telling the truth.
After all, he's neither gay nor a eunuch, so naturally he wouldn't refuse women, especially beautiful ones.
After Kate took his place in ordering the selection of a new bride, he simply stopped interfering and let her do as she pleased.
However, during the selection of his concubines, he secretly had someone add another person to the pool of candidates.
At this time, a trial was being held in the Water 7, the first half of the Grand Line.
It was the World Government's trial of the Tom.
Actually, after Roger became the Pirate King, the World Government originally planned to execute Tom had helped Roger build his ship.
However, during the trial, Tom proposed the idea of Sea Train.
The chief judge felt that this idea would be of great benefit to the World Government, Enies Lobby, and Water 7, so he postponed Tom's trial.
The Sea Train has now been completed, bringing immense prosperity to Water 7 and greatly benefiting Enies Lobby as well. Therefore, the Enies Lobby's judicial ship has returned to Water 7, intending to pardon Tom.
However, unexpectedly, at this very moment, the incident of shelling the judicial ship occurred.
Meanwhile, the CP5 members, who appeared by chance, captured Tom and his crew on the beach, along with the gunboat that was shelling the judicial ship.
And this gunboat was built by Tom's apprentice, Franky.
Many people in Water 7 have also witnessed Franky piloting these ships, charging across the sea and hunting Sea Kings. All the evidence points to Tom's Workers; it was Tom's Workers who bombarded the Judiciary Ship. (cffb) As a result, many residents say that Tom has gone berserk, and indeed, the Tom that made the Pirate King a villain is evil.
Franky and the others tried to explain that it wasn't them who bombarded the judicial ship, but CP5, but no one believed them. Instead, they mocked him for talking nonsense.
Franky said that those ships that had injured Tom were no longer his ships, which enraged Tom, who punched Franky, sending him flying seven or eight meters.
Then, to avenge Franky, he beat up Spandine, the commander of CP5.
Finally, Spandine ordered him to be shot, and he was hit by more than a dozen tranquilizer darts, rendering him unable to move. "Your Honor, I plead guilty to the charge of attacking the judicial ship, but I have one request."
"If building the Sea Train can offset some of my crimes, I hope it can offset the crimes I committed today!" Tom finally made this request to the judge.
"Even if we grant your request, it will only mean returning to the way things were before. The crime of building a ship for Roger and helping Roger is enough to sentence you to death." The judge was very puzzled when he heard Tom's request.
"That's fine. I'm truly honored to be able to lend a helping hand to someone like Roger!" Tom said.
Upon hearing Tom's words, a murmur of surprise rippled through the crowd. "How arrogant!"
"They actually take pride in helping the Pirate King?" "Traitor!" "Barbaric Fish-Man!" "Stinky Fish-Man!" The people of Water 7 protested.
One sentence from Pirate King Roger, ushered in the Great Pirate Era.
The people of Water 7 still remember the time when pirates ravaged the land.
The entire Water 7 was plunged into a deathly silence because of the pirates.
Despite being known as the shipyard of the world, the Water 7 lacked timber and was unable to build ships.
Back then, any ship that went out to sea would be robbed.
The timber was all stolen by pirates.
Even when the people of Water 7 secretly went out to transport timber, they were robbed by pirates, and in the end, their ships were destroyed and everyone on board perished.
What a desperate era that was.
The people of Water 7 still feel fear to this day.
All of this is because of the Great Pirate Era of Pirate King.
Therefore, they harbored immense hatred for the Pirate King Roger.
But they never considered that.
The reason Roger was able to ignite a great pirate era with just one sentence was mainly because the World Government's exploitation was too severe, and too many people could no longer survive on the islands, which led them to choose to go to sea.
Tom eventually fainted due to the anesthetic.
The judge found Tom guilty of aiding and abetting Roger's crime and sent him back to Enies Lobby for execution.
Just as Iceburg and Franky were watching the World Government officials take away the unconscious Tom, feeling utterly hopeless and helpless, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Hehehe, if causing Roger's death is a crime, then I, a former member of Roger Pirates who went to the Laugh Tale with Roger, am even more sinful. Shouldn't you arrest me too?"
The sudden sound startled everyone.
I looked toward the source of the voice.
Upon seeing this, everyone—from the chief judge of Enies Lobby to Spandine of CP5, and the other soldiers and civilians—was utterly shocked, their mouths agape.
"Azure, Azure Emperor..." Spandine exclaimed.
