The Great Voyage: I Became Nami's Brother at the Start

Sigh...it's truly lamentable...

Bellemere looked down at her clothes, then gave a wry smile.

Actually, there's another announcement tonight, but for now, Bellemere is forced to put it on.

Norton has decided to officially announce Bellemere as Queen Mother tonight.

"In that brat's words... this is like a dream... how did I accidentally become the Queen Mother... I still want my orange grove..."

With a wry smile, Bellemere shook her head and thought of her orange grove again.

To silence Bellemere, Norton had ordered the entire orange grove to be moved to the moat east of the palace.

Chapter 148 Victory is assured in the first battle!

There was nothing more to say; Bellemere was forced into the situation.

There was no other way; as a king, Norton's wedding required the presence and blessings of elders.

Therefore, Bellemere had no choice but to agree.

The carriage arrived at the central square, and the fountain began to spray water, while fireworks soared into the sky all around.

On the big screen, Chris was the first to sing, and his voice was beautiful and melodious.

After Colt opened the car door, Norton and the others got out one by one and went to the square to sing and dance with the people.

As he jumped, Norton had a sudden thought and quickly looked in a certain direction within the crowd.

There was a man hiding under his hood who, seeing Norton looking at him, smiled and nodded.

"Why is Luffy's dad here too?" Norton smiled and nodded in response.

"Who?" Bonnie looked up in surprise, then followed Norton's gaze and saw a hooded man turn and leave.

"Oh, it's nothing, just pretend you didn't hear it, hehe..." Norton picked up Bonnie and spun her around with her feet off the ground.

Woo-woo-woo

Suddenly, the radar den Den Mushi in the Imperial City sounded a piercing alarm, an alarm that enemies were attacking.

"0101, southwest direction, in the air, enemy attack."

Three seconds after the alarm sounded, the walkie-talkie in Norton's arms also started ringing.

"Southwest, in the air, no doubt about it, it must be Shiki who knows I'm getting married today and flew over to celebrate with me!" Norton said with a cold laugh, then pulled out his walkie-talkie and shouted, "Roger that, Air Force prepare to scramble. Remember, long-range maneuver interception, do not approach the flying island. This is their first battle, so make sure it's a clean sweep!"

"Yes, Air Force received. Takeoff in five minutes."

Yixiao, who was still on duty, responded immediately and dispatched a ten-person air force squad to quickly arm themselves. They took off in less than five minutes.

After more than a year of integration and training, both the Air Force and the Wing Loong have become incredibly powerful.

Let alone carrying two Gatling guns on its body, it could even be holding a heavy bomb in each of its claws.

Meanwhile, Rayleigh and Hawkeye, who were drinking and eating in a reception room in the palace, also looked towards the southwest sky.

Rayleigh adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "It seems that Shiki the Golden Lion really is as Norton said, his mind has been clouded by the fruit. Doesn't he even consider who's attending the wedding today before daring to come and cause trouble?"

Hawkeye calmly took a sip of his drink and said, "On the contrary, I would very much like him to come. Since you can't spar with me, I'd be happy to spar with Shiki."

Their identities were somewhat special, and both of them were picked up by Norton a day in advance.

Both of them were Norton's mentors; if it weren't for their special status, they certainly wouldn't have stayed in the reception room to celebrate their apprentice's wedding.

Outside, Garp, Kuzan, and the flying squirrel heard the report and came to the central square, standing beside Norton.

"You little rascal, I didn't expect your wedding to catch such a big fish!" Garp chuckled, patting Norton on the shoulder. "My demands aren't high; just send us up in a bit! Catching pirates is our Navy's job, hahaha..."

Norton grinned: "No problem at all. If Grandpa Garp, Uncle Kuzan, or Uncle Flying Squirrel want to help, I'd be extremely grateful!"

Kuzan exhaled a cold breath and said, "It's nothing. We can't even find him yet, and he dares to come here on his own and cause trouble for us!"

"I'll go arrange it right away." The flying squirrel nodded and turned to head towards the port.

"It's alright, it's alright! Keep the music playing, keep dancing! We should be happy that someone's here to liven things up for us!" Norton looked at the crowd around him, smiled, clapped his hands, and shouted, "Where's the airship? Cameraman, go after it and give me a live stream!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"This is going to be good!"

"Hahaha……"

Upon hearing this, the people who were initially a little nervous all burst into laughter.

The music continued, the singing resumed, and the lively atmosphere in the central square remained undiminished.

Even the royal families from various countries in the palace courtyards did not feel the slightest bit of pressure.

Not to mention that Admiral Aokiji Kuzan and Hero Garp are here. They have seen the armed forces of the Kingdom of Oikot before, so they will not be alarmed by a little disturbance.

It was indeed Skye who came. He had seen the news of Norton's upcoming marriage a few days ago, so he came immediately.

The hatred between the Kingdom of Oicot and his Flying Pirates had long since reached the point of no return.

Moreover, the first place Shiki wants to conquer in his plan to conquer the world is the East Blue.

Since Norton was getting married, Skeeter felt he should bring a big gift, so he came.

He prepared a large number of ferocious beasts and a large number of bombs for the Kingdom of Oycot, so that he could drop them all as soon as he flew over the Kingdom of Oycot.

He thought he could arrive unnoticed, then unleash ferocious beasts and bombs to launch a surprise attack on the Kingdom of Oycot.

The idea is both crazy and brilliant.

Because he can fly, and as long as he flies high enough, people on the ground simply cannot hurt him.

However, just as Shiki was enjoying a cigar he had stolen from a shop in the Kingdom of Oicot, the radar Den Den Mushi gave him an early warning.

"Oh? What's that?" Squinting, Shiki strained to see into the distance, where several small black dots were flying in.

Not long after, ten Wing Loong air force units, divided into two small teams, approached the area and entered firing range.

"Fire!"

The air force captain immediately gave the order, and the air force squad lined up in a row, with twenty Gatling guns launching long-range strikes against Shiki and the ferocious beasts behind him.

"What!!"

Upon seeing this, Shiki's eyes widened in shock, and he quickly leaped into the air to dodge the hail of bullets.

His Observation Haki told him that these bullets were dangerous and that it was best not to be foolish enough to take them head-on.

He managed to dodge it, but the ferocious beasts that were originally intended to be given to the Kingdom of Oycot were in for a terrible surprise.

The dense barrage of bullets instantly turned them all into sieves.

"Watch out behind us, there seems to be another pile of explosives! If I'm not mistaken, it should also be intended for us! In that case, let's refuse it!" The Air Force officer tapped his goggles a few times, zooming in on the explosives at Shiki's feet, and sneered.

The goggles he was wearing were the same ones Norton had acquired early on but never used.

Norton didn't need it himself, so he gave it directly to the Air Force captain, which immediately boosted the captain's loyalty to 100%.

"Damn it, don't even think about ruining my plans!" Shiki roared in fury, unleashing a flurry of kicks with both legs, using the Lion's Thousand Cut Valley technique.

"Move and dodge, keep your distance, and destroy the explosives. Brothers, to present a gift to our king, we must win the first battle!" The captain immediately gave the order, and the ten pterosaurs decisively scattered, easily dodging Shiki's slash.

Chapter 149 His strength has increased again

Meanwhile, the ten air force units that had evaded the attack began a series of maneuver operations.

It's worth noting that for the past year or so, Norton has been training the Air Force using the Golden Lion as the hypothetical enemy.

He told the Air Force everything he knew about the advantages and disadvantages of the Golden Lion.

Shiki the Golden Lion's advantage is his ability to fly, which is combined with powerful flying slashes and long-range flying smashes using his Devil Fruit's object manipulation ability. To put it simply, he is a fighter jet plus a bomber!

At the same time, his weaknesses are also obvious. The Float-Float Fruit... he can only fly, and apart from swordsmanship, he can only throw things at people, all of which are ranged attacks.

Given the unequal strength, Norton, who had played online games before, devised a guerrilla kite tactic against Shiki the Golden Lion!

As long as you can maintain distance at all times, operate flexibly, and avoid being captured, even if you can't kill him by kiting him, you can still annoy Shiki to death.

So he kept reminding them to maneuver, maneuver, and maneuver again, and not to let Shiki, who could also fly, get close to them.

Maintaining superior long-range strike capability and maneuverability is the key to air combat.

Combined with the Gatling gun's superior firing range, how could they possibly abandon their long-range advantage to engage in close combat?

As a result, this attack gave the Golden Lion a real headache.

"Where did these huge birds come from? Why are they flying so fast!" Shiki felt his dominance in the skies threatened and glared angrily at the pterosaurs, roaring, "Stop right there, you bunch of bastards!"

It would be a miracle if the Air Force even bothered with him! Besides, the current Wing Loong has undergone a year of enhancements.

The ten air force units scattered, and Shiki couldn't chase any of them, so he yelled in frustration.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Suddenly, a series of explosions rang out.

Shiki then realized that his explosives pile had been bombed by the Oycot Kingdom's air force!

On the ground, Norton had somehow gotten the people to bring in tables and chairs, and they were all standing or sitting in the central square, eating watermelon or sunflower seeds, watching the great battle taking place in the distant sky.

"it is good!"

"Well done!"

Seeing a large cluster of fireworks appear in the distance, someone shouted "Bravo!" and all the people cheered along.

As soon as the cheers began, a live stream appeared on the big screen.

That was the photography crew of the Kingdom of Oicot, who, after receiving instructions from Norton, were ordered to approach by airship and risk their lives to broadcast the event live using a live Den Den Mushi.

People's attention shifted to the large screen, where they could see things more clearly.

"Looks like you can handle it without us having to lift a finger!" The flying squirrel, who had rushed back, squinted, its eyes gleaming.

"Your air force is amazing, kid! How many more good stuff are you hiding?" Garp grinned and praised him.

“However, if there are only ten, their effect is still somewhat limited,” Kuzan added coldly.

Norton smiled slightly but said nothing.
