Read 202, interesting chapter.
We get Alibaba'a thoughts on Balbadd's situation, now I can't wait for them to arrive in Balbadd. So Olba&co have better control over their magic tools now, a water sword capable on bending is very similar to Sharrkan's household vessel, guess their personalities were not the only thing influenced by Sharrkan. I remember people speculating about Toto becoming part of Alibaba's household since 143, it finally came true. Olba's magic item is also now his household vessel, if his magic item retained its original water magic, he's capable of using both water and fire magic and may be able to combine them into a greater magic. Speaking of which, the phoenix-looking household spirit looks exactly the same as Morgianna's, so household spirits of one Djinn all look the same? Two chapters ago we got a chapter about how Alibaba is/was unable to get a girlfriend, Olba got one after knowing her for a few weeks. Alibaba is happy about two new household members and wonders how many household a Djinn can give, he probably thought it was one each seeing Sinbad's 7 Djinns and 7 household vessels. For some reason I thought about twitter, with each new household member being one more follower. He now has 3 followers, close to Kouen's (presumably) 4, with Sinbad's 7 not too far away, but Hakuei is the most 'popular' king vessel with over 100 followers.

AND A RABBIT WITH LONG CLAWS.
I know right. To me it does not beat chapter 200. But it could tie 2nd or third. At first I wasn't happy with the OlbaxToto couple but after reading the chapter I quite like how it turned out. Also it is nice to see Alibaba's influence on people coming along nicely. Sure he is not a power hitter like Sinbad or En but in his own way he slowly brings people together with out him noticing that he does it. Plus the way he is a swell guy always helping people. Much liek Toto explained this chapter. I feel like this new Arc will be more about Alibaba growth as a king that can lead people. |

@ MONKEY BOSS
This was in Book 15's Omake Toto's type of man is someone like "boss monkey": called "Bro", wild, with blood type B and who looks after you, meaning e.g. Kassim. Olba has some resemblance to Kassim actually, just less angry at the world in general. |

Considering the "difficulities" Kouen presents to Sinbad and his plans, you can bet Sinbad will play all the cards he has to ensure a favorable outcome for him during the negotiations. That said, it would be nice to see Alibaba form his own group of followers that are independent of the greater powers of the series (i.e. Sinbad and Kouen). ..............and then we all laugh as each of Alibaba's followers get hooked up one after the other while he is still (relatively) unpopular with women. P.S. A chapter with Alibaba going to Sinbad and Sharkkan for advice on picking up girls would be one of the best things to happen to this series |

Oh boy, this chapter made me feel so sad for Alibaba. It's like the guy can never get a break from being the series' butt monkey. When it comes to his personal life, it's like the Rukh hate him or something like that.
Betcha that he was probably thinking: "....Curse you, Destiny!!". About Balbadd, I don't think the country' state is economically bad since Kouen doesn't seem like a bad leader. Beside, he's the one chose it so it means he knew it's safe to stay there ( You don't want to negotiate with your potential enemy among hundred of thousands angrypeople, right?". The country probably have a different kind of problem like: being turned into a huge outpost for future war or turning into a military state filled with warmongers.
