N4 En22 40 days till Winter Solstice Pirate. Crocodile. Instability in Kingdoms.
Previously, I would have very well dismissed this man a fool. Prior to death’s slumber, Alabasta as flourishing and indefinite as it could, no invader would read the sandstone gates, the only harm that may ever come to such great kingdom would of nature’s own design. Oh how something so pristine could fall, could be taken by storm by some pirate.
Never, Have I shown exactly to be against the term or the type of people. They are criminals at times, or they are simply travelers. My effect against others is for their person, not their occupation. And yet in recent years--from what has been read--not only has there been an excess of pirates, but there have been many who have attempted to take kingdoms. ( see N3 En63, N2 En18 ) With some successes, I was at least proud--not proud, not disappointed--to hear that this man had failed to overtake a kingdom that is ran by blood not overriding kingship. Though...I can see the current family--good job, Cerastes, your name has lived on far longer than I thought. Your idiocy has a charm to it--is far less reliable than even the origin to which their name is passed down by. At least, something I can be proud of, is that foolish Dressrosan royal family being taken down by--ah I am not used to that...--its own family( see N3 En62 ). Seeing Dressrosa in heart was enough, I will return there when the presence of that horrible and disgusting--incompetent--bloodline is out of it. I will have the meet the Riku--that is what they are called?--family.
Either way, Given the state of royal affairs within Alabasta, I could be fooled to believe a pirate could easily take over the entire Sandy Island. To my surprise--and relief--it seems that was not the case, and although the details are strange and inconsistent--I will have to look into the scenario two years ago myself, I believe the news source is not entirely true--, there was no success from this pirate and rather he was brought to jail--or whatever prison now exists. That was, however, not something that remained. According to some event--I have yet to look too deep into it--that occurred somewhere called Marineford--which additionally happened 2 years ago--this man among others escaped that prison. So now he is out there somewhere.
Furthermore, I believe for my sake in learning, it would be beneficial to meet him. As one of the Alabastan royalty--the rightful king--it may be a positive, even a gain for me. Possible for him as well. What goals would there be aside from taking over the kingdom? Alabasta has many secrets beneath shifting sands. I am sure he wanted one of them. At least one.
