Alibaba's Answer (アリババの答え, Aribaba no Kotae) is the 14th Night of the Magi anime's first season and the 14th Night overall.

Summary

As Alibaba demands Ahbmad to relinquish his right to rule, he proposes that Balbadd will abolish the monarchy in favor of becoming a republic to Kougyoku, Sinbad, and the rest of Balbadd's people. While everyone cheers for Alibaba, Cassim and his Fog Troupe arrive at the palace.

Synopsis

As Alibaba tries to convince Ahbmad to step down, Kougyoku Ren, the princess they previously met, appears in an attempt to stop the commotion. She claims that even if Ahbmad is removed from power, another King must be chosen to marry her as part of Balbadd's agreement with the Kou Empire and all agreements between both countries, including the slavery treaty, must be acknowledged. Alibaba instead declares that there will be no King at all because Balbadd's monarchy shall be dissolved and adopt a democratic rule.

Sinbad joins the discussion, bringing some representatives of his confederation, the Seven Seas Alliance with him and offers himself to discuss Balbadd's inclusion in said alliance with the Kou Emperor in person, prompting Kougyoku to retreat. As Alibaba addresses his decision to the people, the Rukh gathers strangely around Aladdin and Judar, while Cassim and his men approach the palace.
