Lvneel King

The unnamed King of Lvneel 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 Noland 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 Noland to take him to Shandora, and also rejected bringing Noland'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, Noland was determined to bring the King to safety. When they finally arrive at Jaya, Shandora was gone. Furious at thinking that Noland fooled him, the King shot Noland at the back, blaming him for lying without even hearing Noland 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 Lvneel, the King ordered Noland's execution to cover up his embarrassment and announces to everyone that Noland is a liar. To make matters worse, he rejected all testimonies of Noland'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 Noland, a children book was published, depicting that while Noland 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.
