"Ouch, ouch, ouch... I promise, I promise!" Luffy cried out and begged for mercy.
"Alright! My mission is complete. And one more thing. This is for you, Zoro! It's a fine sword, you can name it yourself!" Releasing his grip, Norton took out another sword and looked at Zoro: "If the sword isn't fast enough, how can you protect your comrades! You don't need to refuse!"
With a casual toss, Norton tossed the knife over.
"A fine and swift sword!?" Zoro's eyes lit up with joy. He caught it, drew it, and examined it. His face immediately lit up with a smile.
Bonney, Irene, and Nojiko were also constantly reminding Nami to contact Norton if she encountered any danger.
Nami nodded, hugged them, then hugged Norton before coming to Luffy's side.
"I'm leaving! Remember your promise!" With a wave of his hand, Norton wiped away his tears and turned to look at Eileen.
The three girls also cried. They opened the door, their faces full of reluctance, and walked in, turning back every few steps.
The door closed, and Norton and the others were really gone.
"Luffy, I hope you won't let me down!" Nami said, her voice choked with emotion as she looked ahead.
"Don't worry! I promise!" Luffy came to Nami's side, raised his arms, and shouted, "Let's officially set sail! I'm going to become the Pirate King!"
Zoro drew his sword and stepped forward: "I will become the world's greatest swordsman!"
Nami burst into laughter through her tears, waved her hand, and shouted, "I'm going to draw the greatest sea chart and dig up all the great treasures!"
"Eh!!!!!"
Luffy's eyes widened in surprise as he shouted, "Hey! Don't steal my lines!"
Straw Hat crew, first mate, navigator, take your positions!
On an island on the north side of the East China Sea.
Sabo, pale-faced, was squatting alone on the hilltop, clutching his head in terror.
Sabo and Dragon saw all the previous live stream videos.
It was seeing this video that stirred up those secrets that Sabo had kept hidden deep in his heart.
Why did he choose to leave his comfortable aristocratic family and go out into the world instead of returning home?
Besides what everyone else has seen, Sabo, being a nobleman's child, has also witnessed similar things firsthand.
The mangled corpse, the peculiarly flavored meat, the parents' strange expressions...
Memories of his childhood flooded back, and Sabo couldn't help but vomit.
Kera walked over with a worried look, put her hand on Sabo's back and patted him comfortingly, "Did you think about those unpleasant things again?"
Sabo nodded, panting, and after a moment of silence, he tilted his head back and took a deep breath: "Phew—don't worry, I know it's all over. It was all over the moment Norton attacked the Kingdom of Goa! That dark, rotten country has vanished from this world."
Kerla smiled and extended her hand, saying, "It's good that you think that way. Come on! Stand up! Say goodbye to the past completely!"
Sabo looked at her hand, then looked up and met her gaze for a moment before smiling slightly, reaching out to hold it and standing up.
On a certain flying island in the Grand Line.
Shiki the Golden Lion tossed aside the newspaper in his hand, his face cold as he muttered to himself, "You brat, let's see how long you can keep up this act! My plan is ready to be implemented. When the time comes, you and your wretched country will both be destroyed by me! This time, let's see who can save you!"
After saying that, Shiki took a big puff of his cigar and then exhaled a large cloud of smoke.
He was still floating above the Grand Line, but the flying island he was currently on was his true trump card.
The island is filled with ferocious and violent beasts, as well as the crew of the Flying Pirates.
Hawkeye Mihawk sipped his red wine and read the newspaper in the tavern, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Looks like this kid's about to lose his temper! He's so blatantly destroyed a country; he's bound to have something big planned next. Should I go and join the fun?"
After taking a sip of his drink, Mihawk put down his newspaper and began to think with narrowed eyes.
To be honest, Mihawk had a very good impression of both Norton and the Kingdom of Oycot.
During the six months he spent there, Mihawk repeatedly expressed his intention to retire there in his old age.
Now that I see Norton destroying a country and then releasing videos and news so publicly, I feel that this matter is definitely not that simple.
As for the public relations statement issued by the World Government, Mihawk didn't even bother to read it.
Dressrosa.
"Barking... This guy is ambitious too! I wonder if there's any possibility of us working together! I admire such a bold person!"
Doflamingo laughed and put down the newspaper, which contained reports of Norton's statement, "The Goa Kingdom has been destroyed, damn it!" as well as a public relations statement from the World Government.
“Young Master, we’ve been buying cigarettes and alcohol from the Kingdom of Oycott for the past few years without any problems. I think there shouldn’t be any issues,” Diamanti said confidently.
Doflamingo pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's take the initiative to contact them and see if they are interested in the goods we have. Recently, Caesar has been producing finished products one after another, and Kaido has a lot of orders."
Diamanti nodded: "Okay, I'll send someone to try to make contact in the meantime."
Naval Headquarters.
"Well... that's it! Burp, this sake tastes the best!" Garp burped and laughed heartily.
Zhan Guo put down the newspaper and the documents in his hand, his expression not changing much.
"Even if we knew about this, we couldn't interfere. Our duty is to fight pirates, not to meddle in the affairs between two countries. So, this is the limit... Hey, leave some for me!"
Before Sengoku could finish speaking, Garp had already tilted his head back and started showing off his wine.
If you were showing off beer, that would be one thing, but the worst part is that you're showing off baijiu, high-proof C-grade baijiu!
Chapter 170 A Major Event in Life
"Haha...hiccup...good wine..."
thump—
After another burp, Garp rolled his eyes and collapsed onto the table.
"Let you show off!"
Sengoku rolled his eyes at him, picked up an unopened bottle, opened the cap, poured himself and Kuzan a cup of tea, and then started chatting again.
Aokiji took the wine glass, took a sip, and said, "We received intelligence some time ago about the Kingdom of Oycot having an air force. Their mounts seem to be ancient pterosaurs."
"Is it possible to buy one from them?" Granny Crane asked, a cigarette dangling from her lips. "If we also had an air force, we could have an aerial reconnaissance team when we go on missions in the future."
Even Lieutenant General Crane, who didn't smoke much, couldn't escape the "it smells so good" phenomenon and would smoke a Lady's cigarette from the Kingdom of Oicot whenever he had a spare moment.
It's invigorating, soothes the throat, and clears the lungs—the effects are amazing!
This is the current reaction from all sides.
As for the Four Emperors in the New World, who are further away, there has been basically no movement.
One reason is that Kaido is in Wano Country and doesn't bother with these things.
One is the older woman's side, who has absolutely no connection with Norton and hasn't paid much attention to him.
As for Whitebeard and Shanks, although both of their pirate crews had trade dealings with the Kingdom of Oicot and had a fairly good relationship with it, they didn't pay much attention to these matters.
After listening to Colt and Mickey's intelligence report, Norton breathed a sigh of relief: "Alright, this incident is over! Keep an eye on the next target and strive to have another battle as soon as possible to completely establish our kingdom's attitude and status in the world. Remember, all means must be aboveboard and justified, using open strategies to leave the World Government speechless."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The two smiled confidently and nodded.
The Kingdom of Oicot gained great benefits from this operation, but behind these benefits lies something Norton did not want to see.
He would rather this whole thing was just a minor dispute over confiscating goods and arresting people.
I'll go over and teach them a lesson, show them my strength, then apologize, pay some money, and that's it.
However, the situation developed in a way that far exceeded his expectations.
The next day.
"System, check in."
Norton opened his eyes and, as usual, checked in.
[Ding! Sign-in successful. Congratulations, host, you have obtained ten SS-level reconnaissance combat suits.]
SS-class Reconnaissance Combat Suit: It has powerful functions such as waterproof, fireproof, chemical-proof, bulletproof and explosion-proof, and has its own air circulation system, which can maintain an oxygen supply for one hour underwater, and has optical stealth function.
“Not bad! With this combat suit, we’ll be much more confident in intelligence gathering. Most importantly… hehe… it can make you invisible…” Norton couldn’t help but laugh when he saw the combat suit’s final feature.
"Honey, why are you suddenly smiling so lewdly? Tell me, are you thinking about something naughty?" Bonnie, in her child form, looked up at Norton, narrowed her eyes, and asked in a childish voice.
Her delicate little hand had also grasped Norton's weakness: "See? I knew you were thinking something naughty, and he's already exposed you!"
Norton looked up and kissed Bonnie, then stared at her with ill intent: "Wife, are you declaring war on me? Do you want me to give you a massage first thing in the morning?"
"No way!" Bonnie wrinkled her cute little nose and pushed hard, saying, "I'm ignoring you, you naughty boy, I want to get up!"
"You started this! Don't blame me!" Norton laughed as he threw off the silk blanket, picked up Bonnie, who was trying to escape, and plugged her human-shaped cell phone into the charging plug.
Charging was complete after one hour.
The two got up, washed up, and ate breakfast.
When the door opened, Eileen was standing outside, her face flushed.
"Hmph! You're being indecent, brother!" Eileen stomped her foot and turned to leave.
"No way...she was eavesdropping at the door the whole time?" Norton exchanged a troubled glance with Bonnie.
"What are you looking at? It's all because of you that you had to cause trouble so early in the morning!" Bonnie rolled her eyes at him, then added, "But then again, your sister isn't young anymore, shouldn't you start thinking about her marriage?"
"Oh dear... look at me..." Norton suddenly raised his hand and slapped his forehead, saying, "I've been so busy with national affairs that I've neglected my sister's marriage! When we eat later, ask her if she has someone she likes. Women can talk to each other easily. You find out what she's up to first, and if she doesn't, I'll think of something!"
“Okay.” Bonnie nodded, and the two headed towards the dining room.
But when Norton and the others sat down to eat, something felt off about the atmosphere.
Whether it's Eileen blushing and eating with her head down, or Nojigao lost in thought...
"What's wrong with these two?" Norton frowned in confusion.
Bonnie also sensed something was wrong and immediately started talking to Eileen in a low voice.
"Sis, something's on your mind?" Norton leaned over to talk to Nojiko.
Noki shook her head and said with a wry smile, "It's nothing serious, I just wanted my brother to renovate our Orange Garden House. I went back to see Bellemere recently, and he kept saying that the house was too small and there was no place for me to stay, so he sent me back."
