As soon as he finished speaking, countless fireworks soared into the sky, as if in response to him.

That evening, in the King's study in the Kingdom of Euikot.

"Your Majesty, the first mission in the North Blue—the extermination of pirates—has been completed! Whether it was an island occupied by pirates or a scattered group of pirates at sea, none escaped our pursuit. Three-fifths of the pirates fled into the Grand Line. Thus, the extermination mission in the North Blue and the task of driving away the tigers have been successfully completed."

Colt finished his report with an excited expression and took a step back.

"Well done!" Norton praised with great approval. "This is exactly the kind of swift and decisive action our Kingdom of Oycot needs! Only in this way can we deter the villains! If anyone dares to come out again, they'd better think twice before becoming a pirate or just a pure adventurer! So, Grandpa Dusen, I would like to request that you establish Adventurers' Guilds within the entire Alliance, organized by country, in the name of the Free Alliance. Anyone who wants to go to sea as an adventurer must complete adventurer certification in their respective regions and obtain a certificate."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the establishment of this Adventurers' Guild will surely greatly reduce the number of pirates!" Du Sen gladly accepted the order.

"elder brother."

"His Majesty."

Just then, Eileen, Nojiko, and Miki walked in.

"You finished over there too?" Seeing the smiles on their faces, Norton knew that things must be done.

Eileen smiled and nodded as she walked over, plopping down in front of the desk. "Yes, brother," she said. "Although we encountered a minor setback in the last country, you managed to handle it with your contingency plan! How did you anticipate this and set up the Freedom Alliance enforcement team in advance?"

Of everyone present, only their beloved Princess Irene dared to do such a thing.

Norton smiled and advised, "Because it's inevitable! The emergence of something new will always be accompanied by two different opinions. You must understand this! In the future, you must think clearly before acting, and you must not act rashly. Before taking any action, you must first think about the means of attack and the strategy for retreat."

“Okay, I understand.” Eileen nodded solemnly.

Norton stood up and asked, "Does anyone else have anything to say? You've all been busy for two days straight. If not, go back and rest early! Don't forget, tomorrow I'm getting married, and Grandpa Garp and Teacher Rayleigh are getting married. Be sure to come!"

"Nothing."

"We extend our early congratulations to His Majesty the King and Queen!"

"I will definitely come, I will definitely come."

"I'll take my leave!"

As if they had planned it all along, they finished speaking in unison, then turned around and left one after another.

"I'm leaving too. I'm not physically tired, but I'm a little mentally exhausted... See you tomorrow, brother. See you tomorrow, sister-in-law. Little sister... I'll call you little sister one more time, darling, because tomorrow you'll be my sister-in-law... *crying*"

Eileen stood up and went to Nojiko, opening her arms to hug her and saying, "Congratulations, your long-cherished wish has finally come true!"

"Hmph! You still dare to talk back! I'll tickle you!" Nojiko attacked with both hands, fuming.

Chapter 263 Who can I reason with?

"Hey...hehe...no...no...I'm leaving!" Eileen was startled, hurriedly backed away, opened a door, ran inside, and disappeared.

"You're lucky you ran fast!" After gesturing wildly at the air for a while, Nojiko looked at Norton and Bonnie.

"You'll have to sleep by yourself tonight. We can't be together the night before the wedding," Norton said with a helpless shrug.

"Okay... then I'll go back to my room." Nojiko nodded and turned to leave.

"Remember to get up early to put on your wedding dress and makeup!" Bonnie reminded her from behind.

"Okay..." Without turning her head, Noki waved her hand and left.

"I'm sorry, honey..."

After everyone left, Norton hugged Bonnie tightly and said, "Actually, I've never thought about this kind of thing. My original intention was that I would be content with having you in my life! Who told me to have such an outstanding wife? She can be big or small, one person is equivalent to several people."

"Screw you!"

Bonnie playfully slapped Norton's arm, then said gently, "You don't need to apologize to me for this. You are the king of a country. If you only have me as your queen and no other queens, it is indeed a bit unreasonable. In the long run, some people might even say that I, as the queen, am too domineering and don't allow you, the king, to take a queen."

"Isn't it good now? It fulfills my sister Nokiko's wish and doesn't give the position of queen to someone else. I can accept it."

"I'm relieved to hear you say that!" Norton smiled with satisfaction, then leaned down and kissed Bonnie. "My dear wife, you're so good... I love you."

Bonnie's body went limp; such tender words of love were most intoxicating to her, and she couldn't get enough of them.

The next morning, at five o'clock, in the royal dressing room.

Noki, the young Tsuru, and the young Xiaqi were sitting here, letting the professional makeup artists from the film and television department do their makeup.

The three of them were now dressed in wedding gowns, looking at themselves in the mirror, their thoughts wandering.

These three women have one thing in common.

She waited for a certain man for many years...

Tsuru and Garp have been in an ambiguous relationship for decades, Shakky and Rayleigh for over a decade, and Nojiko's relationship was the shortest, lasting only a few years.

Seeing that the painting was almost finished, He sighed and broke the somewhat oppressive atmosphere.

"After waiting for more than twenty years, it's finally going to be a result. These men... why don't they know when they should take the initiative? They always have to be pushed by their juniors..."

Shaki nodded in deep agreement: "Yes, I've also waited for more than ten years. If it weren't for that kid Norton breaking the deadlock, who knows when that old bastard Rayleigh would have finally figured it out."

“Uh…” Nojiko was a little embarrassed: “You two seniors have worked hard. After hearing what you said, it seems that I, who have been waiting for several years, am more fortunate.”

He nodded: "Who says otherwise? The man you've taken a fancy to is very outstanding!"

"To have built a country from the brink of destruction to such a prosperous state at such a young age is truly remarkable," Xia Qi remarked with deep emotion.

Nojiko paused for a moment upon hearing this, as if she were once again thinking of the Kingdom of Oycot.

After being attacked by pirates, the crumbling Kingdom of Oycot fell into the hands of the pirates.

Outside, there were only ruins and rubble; inside, the people were living in misery.

She knew very well how terrible the situation was back then, because she had experienced it firsthand.

During that period, in order to enable the Kingdom of Oicot to develop better, my brother not only had to be on good terms with the Navy, but also with the World Government and the Celestial Dragons. He truly humbled himself to the lowest possible level.

Seek survival and development by keeping a low profile.

The Kingdom of Oicot has grown stronger step by step, attracting more and more attention.

Norton only began to flex his muscles and confront the World Government head-on when he grew so powerful that he attracted the attention of the World Government.

Nojiko could hardly imagine all of this; she couldn't fathom the immense pressure her brother had endured.

For example, in the early stages of his development, countless people criticized him as a member of the Navy, the World Government, or a sycophant of the Celestial Dragons.

Many more people are talking behind his back, saying he has no stance of his own.

Taking a deep breath, Nojiko's smile returned.

Those things are all in the past now; the clouds have parted and the sun is shining through.

Everything we see now is exactly what everyone wanted to see!

As time passed, the star-gazing platform on the back mountain was already full of people.

The front row consists of several kings and dignitaries with whom the kings have a close relationship, such as Neptune, Hancock, Anne Frank, Mihawk, and White Star.

The row behind them consisted of the subjects of the Kingdom of Oycot, followed by the citizens who had drawn the lucky lot, and lucky guests from various units of the Kingdom of Oycot.

As the time approached nine o'clock, the music started playing.

A spatial door opened in the direction of the stairs, and Norton, Karp, and Rayleigh walked out one after another.

Beside them came Garr, Luffy, and a cute little boy, who appeared in the public eye alongside the three grooms.

Garr and the little boy were smiling, but Luffy's expression was somewhat strange.

Who the hell would have thought that I'd be randomly photographed here by a bear, witnessing scenes I shouldn't have seen, and end up "claiming" a wife like this?

Turning around, I found myself inexplicably becoming my grandfather's best man...

This is...

Who can I reason with?

That's just outrageous, isn't it?

Norton didn't tell him about this yesterday.

This morning, Norton had someone drag a bewildered Luffy out of bed, dressed him in a suit, and then pushed him next to Garp.

Luffy was stunned... Garp was dumbfounded too!

Neither of them expected to see each other here...

That's so awkward...

The six people arrived at their wedding stage, their eyes fixed on the staircase, waiting quietly.

Eight minutes later, at 9:08, the space reopened as the music changed!

The younger versions of Tsuru and Shakky, along with the youngest Nojiko, emerged, accompanied by Irene, Miki, and Tama, respectively.

The time was exactly 9:09.

This was Norton's plan; he wanted a long and lasting meaning, and 9:09 is a homophone for "long-lasting."

"Dear guests, distinguished leaders, and honored guests, good afternoon! I am Shirley, the wedding emcee! The auspicious hour has arrived, and this joyous occasion of our wedding officially begins!"

Shirley came down in front of Norton, took the microphone, and announced loudly.

clap clap clap...

Everyone applauded and cheered.

Hancock's gaze swept back and forth between Norton and Luffy's faces, finally settling on Luffy.

There's no way around it, Luffy has already seen him naked, what else is there to hesitate about?

"Please welcome our beautiful brides to the stage!" Shirley raised her hand and stepped forward. The music began, confetti flew around them, and cannons fired in unison.

The three brides walked forward side by side, with the three bridesmaids following behind, helping them lift the trains of their dresses.

Chapter 264 I'll Slap You to Death!

Norton looked around, and Rayleigh and Garp nodded. The three of them stepped down and reached out their hands to their brides.

(P.S.: Please look at the picture of Wu Jing reaching out his hand.)

The mass wedding of former Marines, former pirates, and World Government rebels reached its climax!

As the three brides walked towards their grooms, tears welled up in their eyes.
