Brothers’ Dispute (Kublai-Boke), Kublai’s Emergence as Great Khan
Despite a formal claim by his younger brother Ariq Boke, Kublai Khan was elected Great Khan by his followers at the Grand Kurultai in 1260. This sparked a fight between Kublai and Ariq Boke, which resulted in the destruction of Karakorum, the Mongol capital.
Kublai obtained backing in Shaanxi and Sichuan and sought to resolve the conflict diplomatically in Hangzhou but failed. He also selected Abishqa as the next Chagatai Khanate commander, but Ariq Boke kidnapped him. Ariq Boke was defeated in combat, resulting in the fall of Karakorum. Ariq Boke temporarily regained control of the city in 1261.
Kublai faced a mutiny at Yizhou, which he quickly subdued, leading to the leaders’ execution. This incident made Kublai mistrust ethnic Hans. Ariq Boke appointed Chagatayid Khan Alghu, who switched allegiance to Kublai and defeated a punitive expedition. In 1264, Ariq Boke surrendered to Kublai.
Western khanate kings accepted Kublai’s power. Kublai called a fresh kurultai, but Hulagu Khan and Berke refused to come. The opposing claims of the brothers caused a civil war between the two sides, with Kublai finally triumphing in 1264. Ariq Boke surrendered to Kublai in Shangdu, who saved his life. Kublai, on the other hand, had all of his allies killed, solidifying his position as the next Great Khan of the Mongolian Empire.

Kublai Khan, born in 1215, was an important person in global history. He is well-known for his inspirational leadership, strategic acumen, and cultural breakthroughs. As the grandson of Genghis Khan, he inherited a large empire that covered parts of Asia and Europe.
Kublai Khan’s reign represented a fundamental shift in Mongol governance, as he attempted to bridge the gap between his predecessors’ nomadic customs and the sophisticated civilizations they had conquered.
Kublai Khan rose to power in 1260, becoming emperor of the enormous Mongolian Empire created by his grandfather, Genghis Khan. He separated himself from his forefathers by dominating through an administrative structure that respected and accepted the indigenous customs of conquered peoples, rather than by brute force alone.
After subjugating the Song Dynasty in southern China, he became the first Mongol to govern over the entire country, ushering in a lengthy period of prosperity for the empire. However, internal political conflict, discriminatory social policies, and several ill-fated military expeditions eventually damaged the Yuan Dynasty’s long-term sustainability.
Kublai Khan was nurtured in the Mongolian Steppes’ nomadic culture. From an early age, he learned fighting, hunting, and riding. He also acquired an interest in Chinese culture and philosophy.
When his brother was appointed Great Khan in 1251, Kublai was given command of northern China. He surrounded himself with Chinese advisers and constructed a new capital called Shangdu while respecting the customs of the local populace.

What Made Kublai Khan Famous?
Kublai Khan was the Mongol (Yuan) dynasty’s (1206-1368) monarch (reigned 1260-94). In 1279, he conquered China, becoming the first Yuan emperor of all of China. He contributed to the creation of the “dual principle” political philosophy. He made paper money the only medium of exchange as king.
Warfare and Foreign Relations
While Kublai Khan first restricted the kheshig’s responsibilities, he built a new imperial bodyguard. This unit was originally made up solely of ethnic Han people, but it was eventually supplemented by Kipchak, Alan (Asud), and Russian forces.
After organizing his own kheshig, Kublai put three of the original kheshigs under the supervision of the descendants of Genghis Khan’s advisers, Borokhula, Boorchu, and Muqali, in 1263. Kublai instituted the practice of having four notable nobles in his kheshig ratify decrees, which was thereafter adopted by all subsequent Mongol khanates.
Both Mongol and Han units were organized in the same decimal system that Genghis Khan pioneered. The Mongols embraced new armaments and technology with zeal. Kublai and his generals conducted military battles in southern China in a methodical and deliberate manner. The Yuan army quickly overcame the Song thanks to the efficient assimilation of Han naval technology.
In 1285, the Drikung Kagyu sect revolted, attacking Sakya monasteries. Duwa, the Chagatayid Khan, aided the insurgents by besieging Gaochang and destroying Kublai’s garrisons in the Tarim Basin. Kaidu won the battle of Beshbalik and seized control of the city the next year.
Many Uyghurs fled Kashgar for safer lands in the Yuan dynasty’s eastern provinces. In 1291, Kublai’s grandson Buqa-Temur crushed the Drikung Kagyu rebellion, killing 10,000 Tibetans and bringing Tibet to an end.
Kublai Khan invaded Goryeo on the Korean Peninsula in 1260, eventually establishing it as a tributary vassal state. Goryeo came under the even tighter authority of the Yuan after another Mongol incursion in 1273. It was converted into a Mongol military fortress, with various myriarchy commands established. For the Mongol incursions, the Goryeo court contributed both Korean infantry and a powerful naval force.
Despite objections from some of his Confucian-trained counselors, Kublai opted to launch expeditions to invade Japan, Burma, Vietnam, and Java, defying Mongol authorities. He also attempted to bring outlying territories under Mongol authority, such as Sakhalin, with the local inhabitants finally succumbing to Mongol power by 1308, following Kublai’s death.
However, these significant military efforts, along with the advent of paper money, resulted in inflation. Due to the conflicts between the Southern Song dynasty and Japan, the issuance of paper currency increased from 110,000 ding to 1,420,000 ding between 1273 and 1276.
Kublai Khan, a Mongol monarch famed for his varied court, elected officials from many ethnic origins based on merit. He attempted to attack Japan twice because of Wokou’s support for the Southern Song dynasty. The first effort, in 1274, was hampered by terrible weather and defects in ship design. The second invasion in 1281 was accompanied by a great fleet but encountered problems at sea.
The Mongols conquered various islands but were eventually destroyed by Japanese forces, notably in important engagements. The Mongols battled as a unified army against individual samurai fighters, employing explosive weaponry.
Despite outnumbering the Mongols, the Japanese were able to resist them owing to the coastal fortifications. Kublai’s hasty fleet building, utilizing inadequate ships, may have contributed to the defeat. The Mongols suffered huge losses as a result of the invasions. Kublai’s intentions for a third invasion were prevented by his death and his counselors’ united decision not to go ahead with it.
Between 1257 and 1292, Kublai Khan invaded Đại Việt/Annam (Vietnam) five times. There were important campaigns in 1258, 1285, and 1287. While some believe these operations to be successful because they established tributary connections, Vietnamese history sees them as wins over foreign invaders known as “Mongol yokes.”
The initial expedition in 1258 culminated in the conquest of Thang Long, the Vietnamese capital. This resulted in tributary connections between the Vietnamese and Yuan dynasties. The Yuan tried a second invasion in 1285 to demand more tribute and oversight, but it failed. In 1287, they aimed to replace the ruler of Đại Việt but faced initial successes followed by major defeats. Ultimately, both Đại Việt and Champa acknowledged Yuan supremacy to avoid further conflict.
Due to Mongol dominance over trade routes and effective mail systems, there was increasing engagement between East Asia and Europe under Kublai Khan’s rule. In the early 13th century, merchants, traders, and missionaries from Europe and Central Asia began migrating to China.
Because of the Mongols’ control, Yuan subjects were able to travel beyond the empire, reaching countries like Russia, Persia, and Mesopotamia. The African Sultanate of Mogadishu had a reputation in Asia due to previous economic relations with Chinese governments, which drew Kublai Khan’s attention. He dispatched an emissary to acquire information, but they were apprehended. Khan responded by dispatching another envoy to arrange their release.
Genghis Khan’s younger brothers were handed provinces in Manchuria during the Jin dynasty’s invasion. Later generations wanted more freedom after first supporting Kublai Khan’s authority in 1260. Kublai Khan delegated authority to the Mongol nobility while maintaining control. His son Manggala assumed direct control of Chang’an and Shanxi in 1272.
In 1274, Kublai appointed Lian Xixian to combat power abuses in Manchuria, eventually bringing it under Khagan’s rule in 1284. Nayan, a descendant of Genghis Khan’s brother, revolted in 1287 due to growing bureaucracy. Nayan sought an alliance with Kublai’s opponent, Kaidu. In Manchuria, the revolution was supported by numerous Mongol aristocratic families, Jurchens, and Water Tatars.
Nayan was apprehended and killed, and successive disturbances were put down by 1289. As a result, in 1287, Kublai established the Liaoyang Branch Secretariat and reorganized power allocation among loyal princes.
Later Years of Kublai Khan
In 1291, Kublai Khan, the Mongol ruler, dispatched his grandson Gammala to safeguard his grandfather Genghis Khan’s hallowed burial site. Ikh Khorig was a well-guarded place. Bayan recovered influence in neighboring territories under Kublai’s control in 1293, discouraging Kublai’s adversary, Kaidu, from large-scale military action for three years. Beginning in 1293, Kublai’s armies drove Kaidu’s men off the Central Siberian Plateau.
Following the death of his wife, Chabi, in 1281, Kublai isolated himself from his counselors, preferring to converse with one of his other queens, Nambui. He had multiple daughters, but only two of them were named. Kublai’s wife and daughters were less conspicuous than the important ladies of his grandfather’s period.
Initially, he picked his son Zhenjin to be his successor, and he ruled in a Confucian style. Zhenjin, on the other hand, died in 1286, bringing Kublai tremendous grief. He became depressed, particularly after the deaths of his favorite wife and intended successor, as well as military failures in Vietnam and Japan. This resulted in overeating and drinking, which caused health problems such as gout and diabetes. His illness worsened despite pursuing numerous medical therapies, including shamans and physicians.
He even skipped the usual New Year’s Eve ritual in 1293. He appointed Zhenjin’s son, Temur, as the future Khagan of the Mongol Empire and ruler of the Yuan dynasty before his death. During his terminal illness, he sought solace from Bayan, who was much younger. Kublai Khan died on February 18, 1294, at the age of 78, and was buried in Mongolia two days later.
Kublai Khan, best recognized as a Chinese ruler, also played an important role in creating the Mongol political traditions. He and his adviser ‘Phags-pa devised the “dual principle,” which highlighted the equality of religion and state in politics. This philosophy affected Mongolian history and helped establish a theocratic monarchy after Mongolia achieved independence from China in 1911.
Evaluating Kublai’s character is difficult because Marco Polo’s major account of him is more of a compliment than an impartial appraisal. Polo depicts Kublai as an ideal global ruler, but he also admits his human weaknesses, such as excessive dining and hunting, a complicated personal life, and occasional harshness.
The significance of Kublai lies in his attempt to manage his conflicting duties. Despite his energy and political understanding, he was unable to resolve the fundamental inconsistencies. He gradually resembled a typical Chinese emperor, with China consuming the majority of his attention to the detriment of the Mongol homeland. As a result, internal battles between competing Mongol rulers arose.
Kublai Khan’s reign was distinguished by a distinctive combination of military victories, cultural interchange, and administrative improvements. His vision of a united, cosmopolitan empire laid the stage for succeeding Chinese dynasties and affected world history. Kublai Khan’s legacy lives on through the Yuan Dynasty’s cultural and architectural accomplishments, reminding us of the continuing significance of this great Mongol monarch.
While his reign provided riches to China and the privileged Mongols, Kublai Khan’s successors struggled to keep the balance. The Mongols retreated to the steppes after the monarchy collapsed in 1368, and they no longer played a vital role on the international stage.
Whole Cake Island Saga/Arc
The Vinsmoke and Charlotte families formed a political alliance after Sanji left the Germa Kingdom to start a new life in the East Blue. As a part of this agreement, the marriage between the third son of the Vinsmoke Family and the 35th daughter of the Charlotte Family was arranged to unite the two bloodlines of the two families.
However, the wedding was not held until thirteen years later because the Vinsmoke Family was unable to locate their third son, Sanji, who had been living in Baratie and kept a low profile. Sanji was able to return to his homeland thanks to the connections of the Big Mom Pirates, particularly after Capone Bege threatened him with the repercussions of his mentor’s gruesome murder for declining to attend the wedding. The Germa Kingdom started gradually converging on Lake Aprico on Whole Cake Island prior to the wedding.
A few days before the wedding, Sanji traveled back to his homeland, where he met his father, younger brother, and sister for the first time in 13 years. Judge urged Sanji to settle their differences through battle after rejecting both Yonji and Reiju’s efforts to persuade him to accept the planned marriage. After the duel, which concluded in a courtyard outside the Vinsmoke castle, Judge told Sanji why they had allied with Big Mom, and Reiju attached exploding wristlets that would explode Sanji’s arms to force him to cooperate with the wedding.
The day before the wedding, Vinsmoke Ichiji and Niji completed their assignment on Broc Coli Island and then left the Germa Kingdom. While dining in their throne room, the reunited Vinsmokes started talking about politics, but the conversation rapidly turned into a fight between Sanji and the other members of the family. After the meal, Sanji found out that Cosette (the head of the culinary staff for the royal household) was severely beaten inside the castle. Sanji, who vowed to exact revenge on Niji, ran across Yonji, who showed him the location of the facility housing Germa 66’s clone army, and they were soon joined by Ichiji and Niji, who then attacked Sanji along with Yonji.
After the attack, Reiju found a beaten Sanji in the lab. Before taking Sanji to his room, she gave the Germa scientists the instruction to leave him in her care. The entire royal family was greeted by their cheering citizens as they left for Whole Cake Chateau for the pre-wedding gift exchange ceremony after Reiju had attended to Sanji’s wounds.
Later on, it is revealed that the wedding was all a part of Big Mom’s scheme to kill the Vinsmoke Family in order to gain access to the kingdom’s cloning technology. However, the Vinsmokes (apart from Sanji) were able to successfully flee back to their country after the assassination plan was foiled during the wedding ceremony. Nusstorte’s squad tried to catch up with them, but they were completely defeated, and soon, Ichiji gave the order for Germa’s ships to depart after Niji duped Mont-d’Or into disclosing the whereabouts of the Straw Hats.
A few hours later, the Big Mom Pirates’ fleet surrounding Cacao Island was attacked by the forces of Germa Kingdom, which allowed Luffy and Sanji to escape. Judge directed his men to attack the pursuers at sea while his children attacked the army on land.
After ensuring their safety aboard the Sunny, Judge attempted to understand what Luffy saw in Sanji, whom he believed to be a useless failure. He was displeased when Luffy mistook his criticism for praise for the chef. The Vinsmoke siblings were hurt in the conflict with the Big Mom Pirates, who had brought anti-Germa bullets with them. The Big Mom Pirates prevailed ultimately as a result.
Germa 66 was getting ready to retreat when the Straw Hats finally left Totto Land. However, Big Mom reached Cacao Island before they could leave. Later on, the Germa Kingdom managed to escape from Whole Cake Island.
The World Government banished the Germa Kingdom after learning of their latest effort to join forces with the Big Mom Pirates.
Zeus Jabatan: Mitra (相棒, Aibō?, Viz: "Sidekick");[4] Senjata Hidup; Pelayan (bekas) "Zeus si Awan Petir" (雷雲のゼウス, Raiun no Zeusu?)[5]
Senjata Hidup; Pelayan (bekas)
Zeus si Awan Petir adalah homie yang menyatu dengan Sihir Clima-Tact Nami. Sebelum bergabung dengan Clima-Tact, dia dimiliki oleh Big Mom, yang akan memanggilnya dari tangan kirinya.[2] Karena terbuat dari fragmen jiwa dari Big Mom sendiri,[7] dia lebih kuat dari kebanyakan homies.
Dia diciptakan oleh Big Mom di masa mudanya, dan melayaninya dengan baik hingga dewasa sebagai salah satu senjata pribadinya bersama Prometheus dan Napoleon. Selama Bajak Laut Topi Jerami melarikan diri dari Totto Land, Zeus ditangkap oleh Topi Jerami dan dipaksa menjadi pelayan Nami.[8] Dia tinggal di dalam Sorcery Clima-Tact untuk waktu yang singkat sampai dia diklaim kembali oleh Big Mom di Negeri Wano.[3][9] Namun, Big Mom kemudian meninggalkan Zeus untuk selamanya setelah dia berjuang selama pertempuran di Onigashima, menggantikannya dengan homie lain bernama Hera. Dia berusaha untuk menghapus fragmen jiwanya darinya,[10] tapi dia selamat dari cobaan itu dengan secara permanen menyatu dengan Clima-Tact Nami sebagai Vessel.[11] Zeus kemudian bergabung dengan Nami selamanya, kali ini sebagai pasangannya.[4]
Zeus biasanya muncul sebagai awan besar dan berwarna terang. Ketika dia menyebabkan badai, dia menjadi gelap dan menghasilkan kilatan petir kuning (merah muda di anime saat dikendalikan oleh Big Mom, kuning di anime saat dikendalikan oleh Nami).[2] Dia juga memakai topi baseball bergaris merah dan biru (merah dan putih di anime) dengan pinggiran kuning di kepalanya.[1] Dia biasanya memiliki ekspresi riang dan mengantuk, tetapi dapat terlihat lebih menyeramkan.[12] Ketika dia awalnya dideskripsikan oleh Pound, dia tidak memiliki topi baseball dan sebagian besar fitur wajahnya.[2] Setelah diiris menjadi dua oleh Brook dan kemudian listriknya dikuras oleh Nami, ukuran Zeus sangat berkurang, cukup untuk dipegang dengan satu tangan, dan wajahnya cukup untuk menutupi sebagian besar tubuhnya.[13] Selama Penyerbuan di Onigashima, Zeus mengenakan helm kabuto biru saat dia muncul bersama Topi Jerami lainnya.[14]
Zeus sebagai Sihir Clima-Tact.
Setelah menyatu dengan Sorcery Clima-Tact Nami, wajah Zeus juga dapat muncul di tengah gagang Sorcery Clima-Tact, mempertahankan ekspresi tolol dengan tanda memerah. Wajahnya juga dapat dipindahkan ke pelengkap oranye di akhir Clima-Tact setiap kali dia membuatnya tumbuh, dan dia juga dapat mentransfer kesadarannya ke fenomena cuaca yang diciptakan oleh Clima-Tact.[11] Namun, ia terus mengambil bentuk awannya.[15][16]

Sebagai salah satu senjata pribadinya, Zeus sangat setia kepada Big Mom dan akan mendatanginya saat dia memanggilnya. Zeus juga tampaknya peduli dengan keselamatan warga di Totto Land dan benci melihat mereka tersiksa selama amukan Big Mom, tetapi tidak seperti sesama homiesnya, Zeus tahu sia-sia untuk mencoba dan berunding dengan Big Mom ketika dia sedang mengamuk.[2]
Namun, terlepas dari kesetiaannya, Zeus berbagi kerakusannya yang ekstrim dan sangat menikmati makan awan petir. Zeus bersedia untuk tidak mematuhi perintah langsung dari Big Mom selama Nami terus memberinya makan awan petir. Namun, dia mampu bernalar dan belajar dari kesalahannya, karena dia menjadi sangat marah saat Nami mencoba memberinya makan lagi, meski amarahnya membuatnya terbuka untuk menyerang.[8] Kesetiaannya kepada Big Mom tidak datang sebelum menghargai nyawanya sendiri, seperti ketika Big Mom memerintahkan Hera untuk memakannya, dia memohon untuk diizinkan pergi dengan damai daripada menyerahkan kekuatan jiwanya kepada Hera. Dia melangkah lebih jauh untuk membantu Nami setelah merasa dikhianati oleh Big Mom, dan bersedia menyerang tuannya sebagai sarana permintaan maaf kepada Nami atas pengkhianatannya sebelumnya.[10]
Dia juga sangat riang, karena setelah dia menjadi pelayan Nami, dia dengan mudah menerimanya dan merasa nyaman untuk disimpan di dalam Clima-Tact miliknya.
Yuan Dynasty’s Founder
Kublai Khan, the Great Khan, founded the Yuan dynasty in 1271, making China his primary operating base. He accepted Chinese political and cultural traditions, consolidated authority, and leaned heavily on Chinese advisers. Drogon Chogyal Phagpa was designated as Kublai’s Imperial Preceptor, giving him power over all Buddhist monks. In 1279, he defeated the Southern Song and united China.
The Yuan dynasty was divided into provinces, each with its own administrative system, and included areas such as China, Manchuria, Mongolia, and the Korean Peninsula. Kublai encouraged economic expansion through infrastructural projects and introduced a uniform paper currency known as the Jiaochao. Fiscal troubles and inflation, on the other hand, eventually led to economic woes.

Military Conquests and Legacy of Kublai Khan
Despite his diplomatic and artistic successes, Kublai Khan was a skilled military leader who maintained the Mongol Empire’s growth. His soldiers fought in Southeast Asia, Japan, and even attempted to capture Vietnam. However, these efforts were greeted with mixed results, as Japan notably resisted Mongol invasions known as the Kamikaze typhoons in 1274 and 1281.
Kublai Khan died in 1294, leaving behind a complicated legacy. His rule was a watershed event in history, as he effectively merged Mongol nomadic customs with conquered lands’ civilizations. His administration, governance, and cultural exchange endeavors provided the groundwork for the wealthy Yuan Dynasty.
