"No, my suggestion isn't about the gibbon. That kind of thing doesn't matter; I've never seen one."
Old K interrupted Chloe and the others' train of thought, looking at the witch and saying, "Excuse me, may I ask what your name is? You can't keep calling me witch."
“Me? My name is Fanny,” the witch replied honestly.
"Well then, Miss Fanny..."
Old K stepped forward, gazing at her affectionately, and said, "Would you marry me and become the queen of this country? Oh! I can't wait any longer; I want to personally dress you in the wedding gown I've prepared for you."
"no!"
Fanny was about to speak when a voice spoke before her.
Donald stepped forward with a serious expression, placing himself between Old K and Fanny, and said sternly to Old K:
"You and your fiancée are engaged. Since you've waited for her for so long, you can wait a little longer. As the navy, we will definitely rescue your real fiancée! Only by entering into a marriage contract with your real fiancée will you have fulfilled your promise. I believe you and your real wife can have a strong child!"
"No, that's because my father controlled my marriage. Also, although I'm not married, I have children, and quite a few illegitimate ones."
Old K waved his hand, "I've already said, all I want to do is marry Miss Fanny. Everything else can wait. If you ask why, it's because you didn't rescue them all back then."
“Yes, Donald, it wouldn’t have taken much effort to add another person.” Sazier was also puzzled by this.
If it were him, he would definitely capture both of them: the king's fiancée and the legendary witch. That way, he could not only bring the king's fiancée to the capital, but also use the witch to gain merit. Even if the witch didn't seem like a threat, at least he would have covered all bases.
Of course, he was right next to Donald at the time, but even so, he was stunned.
"No, it's mainly because that woman is too ugly. I thought she was a witch, so I didn't consider her," Donald said honestly, scratching his head.
Upon hearing this, the scene became unusually quiet.
Kuro: "..."
Lida: "..."
Kro adjusted his glasses, pursed his lips, and for a moment didn't know what to say.
He always thought that Mr. Kuro's subordinates were all pretty bad.
Lida was a money pit. Things are a bit better now, but at the beginning, Kuro was so desperate for food that he had to start thinking about catching wanted criminals.
Cass is a scoundrel; he's so bad that he even frightens Mr. Kuro, and he does things that make Mr. Kuro's scalp tingle from time to time.
Kikyo has bad ears, so she can't hear clearly when she speaks.
For example, Klow felt that Donald and Sazier also had some unexpected flaws.
There was no chance to discover it before, but now Kro has noticed something: Donald... seems to be a bit too straightforward.
Is it okay to say something like that directly?
Indeed, only he, Kuro, is Mr. Kuro's trustworthy right-hand man!
Look, Sazir, who is his direct subordinate, hasn't caused any frustrating problems under his tutelage, has he?
This is the evidence!
If his direct subordinates don't betray him, then naturally Kro, as his direct superior, wouldn't either!
"Hey, that's so rude of you! Why are you commenting on someone's appearance?! Catherine is a very nice person, gentle and kind, and very considerate of others!"
Fanny couldn't help but retort after hearing Donald's words.
Donald's expression turned serious as he turned to Fanny and said solemnly, "I, Donald, have always been the most polite person. How could I be impolite! My master taught me to be an honest and polite person. I was just stating my feelings honestly from my own perspective!"
"Don't worry, Old K!"
Donald continued to say to Old K, "Although I am a newly recruited navy officer, I will still have basic honors. I will definitely bring your fiancée back, let you have a wedding, and then have children."
“My name is Alexander Francis. What is Old K?”
Old K said expressionlessly, "Also, I don't want it."
"This isn't a question of whether you want it or not!"
Donald said in a serious tone, "Even if that woman is ugly, with small eyes, a big nose, lots of pimples, and a huge mouth that looks like it could swallow you whole, and is ugly, fat, short, and has rough skin, she's still your fiancée! A man has to keep his promise. The marriage he promised himself, even if she's a dinosaur, no, even if she's a Tyrannosaurus Rex, you still have to fulfill your promise. That's what a real man does!"
"..."
Perhaps because the palace window had just been broken, a gust of wind blew in, making the silent crowd feel a little cold.
Old K smirked and looked at Donald, "So, are you going to marry her?"
“No, I can’t.” Donald shook his head decisively.
Is this person being honest or sarcastic?
Lida nudged Kuro and asked in a low voice.
"have no idea."
Kuro said seriously, "Also, don't poke me, it's hard for me to hold back my laughter."
You can't just laugh loudly in front of a future king; that would be really impolite. He invited you to dinner and a dance performance, so you have to give him face.
"I'm about to become king, does the king know that!"
Old K gritted his teeth and roared, "Do you know how long I've waited! I finally became king, and I'm so old, how many more years do I have left to live? Is it wrong for me to want to marry a beautiful woman, to spend the rest of my life watching her live peacefully, and then to pass the throne to my beautiful child who inherited her beautiful genes? Is such a small wish something that I, as king, can't even fulfill? I don't care, I'm going to marry Miss Fanny!"
"Um, sorry, you're too old, I can't do it..." Fanny said weakly, raising her hand.
Old K: "..."
"Let's just pretend that person was killed by the witch. I'll find the next one myself. It's okay if the country's development is slow; everyone can tolerate it," Old K said, as if he had made up his mind.
"I will bring them back!"
Donald, as if he hadn't heard Old K's words, repeated them again. He gripped the Cross Pistol and faced Kuro, "Colonel Kuro, if you're in the Navy, you can't forget your responsibilities!"
"Don't lecture me, you're a newbie. I know what to do."
Kuro took out a cigar, lit it, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said, "How to resolve the engagement is your business, Old K, but as a Marine, there are some things I can't ignore. An innocent life is worth saving."
"My name is Alexander Francis..."
Old K said, "Do you really want to save him? Can't you just pretend you didn't see it for my sake? I'll report you, Colonel Kuro. When I take over, I really will report you. I swear, it'll be very cruel."
"Kuro, lead the way. I'd like to see what kind of thing is that can't be sensed by Observation Haki," Kuro said.
“Yes, I understand!” Kro nodded.
He couldn't sense it with his Observation Haki, but he could track the Guardian Ape that had been licked of blood.
