One Piece Infinite Adventure: The Arabian Straw Hat

Chapter 7: Plan B for Betrothal. A Genie's Wish for Freedom!

The next morning, back at the Palace, the Sultan has summoned Jafar and Crocodile to his throne room and he was not in a good mood. After Jasmine had informed him of what occurred yesterday, he was outraged that they carried out the 'execution' of Aladdin and the Straw Hats without his consent or knowledge. He was about to finish a stern talk to the duo about what they have done.

Sultan: Jafar, this is an outrage! If it weren't for all your years of loyal service. But from now on you are to discuss the sentencing of prisoners with me before they are carried out. And as for you, Sir Crocodile, I expect you to follow my orders the same as Jafar, understand?

Crocodile: Understood, sir.

Jafar: We assure you, your highness, it won't happen again.

Sultan: Very good. Now Jasmine, Jafar, Crocodile, let's put this whole messy business behind us. Please?

Jafar: Our most abject and humblest apologies to you as well, princess.

Crocodile: Yes, and I pray this sordid affair does not sour our relations in the future.

Jafar takes Jasmine's hand to kiss it, but she quickly yanks it away.

Jasmine: At least some good will come of my being forced to marry. When I am queen, I will have the power to get rid of you both!

Sultan: That's nice. All settled, then. Now, Jasmine, getting back to this suitor business...

The Sultan turns to Jasmine, but he sees Jasmine already walking out of the room and rushes after her.

Sultan: Jasmine? Jasmine!

As soon as the Sultan had left, Jafar and Crocodile's forced smiles suddenly drops into angry growls.

Crocodile: Where does that little brat get off threatening us like that! Not to mention ratting us out to the Sultan!

Jafar: If only we had gotten that lamp!

Iago, who was on Jafar's shoulder the whole time, was mockingly mimicking Jasmine's threat, in her own voice at that.

Iago: *mimicking Jasmine* I will have the power to get rid of you both! *normal voice* GGRRR!! To think; we have to keep kissing up to that chump and his chump daughter for the rest of our lives!

Jafar and Crocodile walk over to a nearby balcony while Iago was still ranting about their current misfortune. Down below they see the Sultan still trying to talk some sense to Jasmine, who was having no luck in doing so.

Jafar: No, Iago. Only until she finds a chump husband. Then she'll have us banished...or beheaded.

All three went uggh at the very thought, nervously holding their necks as they did.

Crocodile: Well, even if she does have us beheaded, it'll be nothing compared to what Morganna would do to us.

Jafar/Iago: Morganna?

Crocodile: I mean, think about it; we just told her that we would have the lamp. And when she finds out we don't have it, and I know she will, we best pray that she'd be merciful.

Jafar: Well, I'm afraid Her Radiance isn't known for her mercy, especially towards failure.

Iago: What are we worried about? At least we got rid of those pirates, that's gotta be good news for her.

Jafar: Yes, but the lamp was our priority, and we don't have it! Even if we do tell her about it, it won't spare us from her wrath.

Crocodile: Plus, the Sultan is still expecting us to solve his suitor problem. At this point, the only way to solve that mess is if one of us married her. But who's gonna be one to play the 'chump' husband?
