[Grunts.] So far as I can tell your Kingdom is almost completely repaired in another two years. The pirates get more aggressive -- but they're all aiming for the New World, that's why Fleet Admiral Sakazuki moved marine Headquarters. Whitebeard's death left a power vacuum so most pirates around Alabasta or Drum aren't going to be strong enough to put up a good fight.

Did you or your father decide to hire some of the rebels in order to keep pirates out?

In any case, whatever you've been doing seems to be working fine. Less incidents than even before Crocodile. And I think I heard something about Alabasta striving to become the bath-house capitol of the world, though that might be outdated or just rumors. Anything more personal [Meaning her father's health] wouldn't have reached me however.

Are you going to the Reverie soon?
