Lvneel King

The unnamed King of Lyneel originated from North Blue 400 years ago. He is a greedy monarch who thinks of nothing but gold. He first appeared in Chapter 292 and Episode 189.

When Montblanc Norland returned from the Grand Line, he shared his adventure with the King and spoke of the city of gold, Shandora. Delighted, the King asked permission from the World Government's headquarters, Mariejois, to grant him access to the Grand Line. Months later he told Norland to take him to Shandora, and also rejected bringing Norland's crew; instead bringing only his royal guards to ensure his own safety. This proves to be a big mistake, as the guards had no sailing experience. Thus, many lives were lost in the expedition.

However, Norland was determined to bring the King to safety. When they finally arrive at Jaya, Shandora was gone. Furious at thinking that Norland fooled him, the King shot Norland at the back, blaming him for lying without even hearing Norland out. All of them were unaware that there was a Knock-Up Stream one year ago that sent one part of Jaya to the sky.

Back at Lyneel, the King ordered Norland's execution to cover up his embarrassment and announces to everyone that Norland is a liar. To make matters worse, he rejected all testimonies of Norland's crew and instead hired a fake crew member to lie with a priest present, all acting out on the King's orders. As a final insult to Norland, a children book was published, depicting that while Norland is a liar, the King is a hero throughout the journey, when in fact the king himself made the expedition worse due to his greedy decisions.
