TITLE: Chapter 1084: The Attempted Murder of a Celestial Dragon #MID B1: pant… pant… #BOT B1: You’re Sabo, right? B2: ?! B3: What… B4: Jewelry Bonney?! B5: I think we’re both after the same thing, so let’s skip the small talk. #PG 2 B1: They broke into the Guards’ Quarters… B2: and stole the slave collar keys! B3: I did hear about Kuma-san having a daughter... B4: I’ve always tried to keep tabs on Revolutionary Army activity. B5: That’s how… #MID B1: I know you’re trustworthy! B2: I’ll leave it to you guys to get dad's body to safety! B3: Karasu. B4: Yes. B5: What the?! B6: Mission complete! Deliver the keys, and tell Morley to get Kuma and the others… B7: back to HQ as soon as they’re free. #BOT B1: What about you, Sabo? B2: I’ll be right behind you after I’m done here. B3: Understood. Be careful. B4: … B5- SFX: jangle B6: What’s your next move, Bonney? B7: I’m off to Egghead to see whether… B8:Vegapunk has a way to restore Dad’s mind! B9: If he can’t…!! B10: There they are!! B11: !! #PG 3 B1: That’s weird… I could’ve sworn I saw something… B2: pant B3: pant B4: huff… huff… It feels like they’re fewer guards than ever around here… B5: We’re too short handed to cover a tower this big. B6: pant B7: Haven’t you heard? You can blame you know what for that. B8: …what’s that mean? B9: I…I owe you one! b10: pant #MID B1: Everyone else must’ve seen it… B2: …Seen what?

B6: … B7: Thanks. #BOT B1: Egghead’s in the new world, B2: We’re heading in the opposite direction… Good luck on your voyage. B3: It’s a little odd seeing a radical revolutionary being so friendly… B4: Well, we’re both determined to save the same person. B5: Yeah, look after my Dad for me! #PG 4 B1: King Cobra, Ruler of Arabasta… B2: What have you come to ask? B3: …Perhaps I should start from the beginning… #BOT B1: As you are aware, the organization known as the world government was founded 800 years ago… B2: when 20 different monarchs came together. B3: Their families all promptly moved to Mary Geoise to live as one clan… B4: Referred to as the Celestial Dragons, B5: The ones responsible for the creation of the world. B6: And as such, they have ruled over their creation ever since. #PG 5 B1: Internally, the 20 were considered equal. B2: And to ensure that no individual dictator would rise up from among them, B3: they installed the empty throne. B4: Each of them placed a weapon around the throne, to symbolize their vow to never try and sit upon it. #MID B1: At the same time, new royal families were appointed to the nations... B2: that the founders once ruled over. Those dynasties are still in power to this day. B3: In order to ensure the smooth transition, all references mentioning a founder’s family within their home country were removed… B4: from their home countries. #BOT B1: With the sole exception of Arabasta…! The Queen at the time, B2: Nefertari Lilly was immortalized as one of the founding 20, B3: but did not stay to become a Celestial Dragon, B4: Instead, she was to return to Arabasta to continue her reign. Keeping the Sovereignty B5: Within the family and is said to be where the current Nefertari have got . #PG 6 B1: Meaning that technically only 19 weapons were placed around the throne. B2: It’s all as you say… But what is your point? B3: I’ve scoured all of the ancient texts in my kingdom but… B4: As far as we can tell, B5: In all of written history taking place after the ‘void century’... #MID B1: Her name, B2: has been completely erased. B3: !!? #BOT B1: She never made it home to Arabasta. B2: …. B3: And her little brother was forced to take the reins and rule the country. B4: Do you perhaps know of anything pertaining to her…? #PG 7 B1: In response to your question… B2: 800 years was a very long time ago… B3: It’s true that of the 20, the Nefertari line of Sovereigns were the only ones not to live here. B4: We believed she had returned back to her country, but I’m afraid, B5: both method and motivations have been lost to the annals of history. I’m sorry but we simply don’t know. #MID B1: …. B2: In that case… B3: What is “D”? B4: !!! #BOT B1: …Why… do you ask? B2: Truthfully… A short “letter” penned by the queen, B3: has been passed down, generation to generation… B4: !!! #PG 08-09 #RIGHT TOP Card 1: The “Social Square” Inside Pangea Castle… B1: Kyaa!
