The first ruler of alabasta who's gone misding is the one in the picture frame right? THERE IS A HIGH POSSIBILITY THAT IMU REALLY IS HER
I dont think she is Imu. If my memory serves me right, her name is Lily. She was vanished when she was returning to Alabast 800 years ago. And if I remembered correctly, she knew something bad was gonna happen to her so she wrote a letter to Alabasta which was passed down to each ruler's generation. The last one who knew what was written in this letter is Cobra, which Imu killed when he confronted him/her with the five elders, right? I think this was also the time the world government was established, and supposedly all those 20 rulers will live in Mary Geoise but Lily did not want that, thus, she planned to return to her kingdom
So much for making me cry my eyes out in that first volume, huhuhu. I want to hug Yoshirou so much! He's been hurt in so many ways, and I am so thankful fate worked for him to meet Waki. He doesn't even allow himself to be happy, even though they are already in a relationship. Please, my pookie, you deserve the world! Hope you continue to smile, luvs.
now I want the story of Mizumaki and taguchi, pretty sure their tandem would be flirty x easily flustered lololll
