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

They waited so long... so long...

Holding their brides' hands, the three couples returned to the stage, with the bridesmaids and groomsmen standing on either side of the wedding stage.

Shirley returned to the center, took the microphone, and continued, "She and he have many stories together; they've waited for each other for countless days and nights. And now, they've finally come together. Let's congratulate them! Congratulations to the three couples who have finally broken through years of waiting and come together!"

clap clap clap...

Another round of applause and cheers erupted.

"Now, please, the three grooms, say what you most want to say to your brides!" As planned, Shirley took the microphone and went to Karp first.

Among the three couples, Karp and Tsuru had the longest and most intense love saga, so Norton arranged for them to become the first couple.

Garp took the microphone, and his usually carefree hand trembled slightly as he held it: "Um... Tsuru... I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Actually..."

Halfway through the conversation, an unexpected event occurred.

"Enough with the nonsense!" Tsuru, who could no longer contain herself, grabbed Garp's neck and kissed him, tears streaming down her face.

Karp was startled at first, then relaxed and handed the microphone to Sherry, who then hugged the crane.

I'm still a minor... I'll only be eighteen next year...

Luffy covered his face, unable to look.

"it is good!"

clap clap clap...

Seeing this, everyone once again applauded and cheered for them.

Sherry smiled as she held the microphone, then walked to the other side and handed it to Rayleigh.

Rayleigh wasn't much of a talker than Karp, but today, he seemed to have mustered up immense courage: "Shakky, I know I owe you an apology, but right now I feel that 'I love you' is more appropriate than 'I love you.' Shakky, I love you."

He said it! He finally said it! After holding back for so many years, this damn straight man... finally said it...

Upon hearing the end, Xia Qi covered her mouth and burst into tears.

Very good, everything is within His Majesty's plan.

Shirley took the microphone and finally stood in front of Norton.

"To be honest, I never expected my sister to become a queen, nor did I dare to imagine it. But as everyone can see now, Nojiko and I are not actually siblings. The bond between us is unmatched by anyone else. Now I hereby announce that from today onwards, Nojiko is now my queen! I hope that our love, the love between my master and his wife, and the love between my grandfather and Granny Tsuru will last forever, until the end of time!"

Look, look!

The king must be so magnanimous!

clap clap clap...

As soon as Norton finished speaking, it sparked even more enthusiastic applause and cheers.

"Alright! Now I announce..."

The wedding continued, and it was the bride's turn to speak.

At this moment, all three brides were choked up and didn't know what to say, including He.

Once Garp and Tsuru let go, they truly let go.

Everyone else had finished speaking, but they were still kissing.

This made the audience feel... somewhat embarrassed, yet also happy for them.

Hawkeye, sitting in the front row, was speechless.

If it weren't for the fact that he was waiting to attend the wedding banquet, he wouldn't have wanted to watch any longer.

……

The simple wedding came to a perfect end.

Luffy ran away immediately, which made Irene and the others want to laugh.

They all wanted to know how the grandson felt about attending his grandfather's wedding.

The wedding banquet at noon was also very lively. After the banquet ended, Luffy couldn't wait to find Norton.

"Brother Norton, how did Fishman Island end up here? We were planning to stop by Fishman Island for a visit when we went to the New World!" Luffy sat opposite him with a resentful expression, arms crossed and pouting.

Norton was puzzled and said, "You can come anytime you want! Why don't you just have your sister Eileen pick you up? It's just a matter of opening a door. Why are you making such a fuss?"

"Ah, I..." Luffy's features scrunched up, and he couldn't get the words out for a long time.

"I think you're just itching to go and wreak havoc in Impel Down right now, aren't you!" Norton looked like he wanted to laugh, but he kept a straight face.

He could actually have Eileen open a door to the sixth basement level, but wouldn't that be pointless?

Why give up the opportunity to openly and legitimately prank Luffy and Hancock?

Regardless of where the original Luffy hid, at least now Luffy is wrapped up on Hancock's lap as he requested, which is quite interesting.

The door opened, and Mihawk sauntered in, holding a wine glass.

“Brother Mihawk, you have something to say too?” Norton tilted his head and looked at Hawkeye.

"Ah... I received a summons from the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and I'm hesitating whether to go or not." Mihawk sat down on the sofa by himself.

During his time lounging around in the Kingdom of Oicot, Hawkeye even felt like he'd gained weight.

Although he would try to spar with Norton whenever he had a spare moment, they always ended in a draw, which clearly displeased him.

Furthermore, that brat Norton learned swordsmanship here, yet he always calls me "Big Brother," which is rather disrespectful.

However, considering that the other party is being treated well with good food, drink, accommodation, and entertainment, this issue can be left unmentioned.

"Go away? That's so boring. It's much better for you to stay here with me and occasionally teach me swordsmanship. Why be a Shichibukai? You're a perfectly good swordsman, but the World Government has to label you a pirate. Don't you feel resentful?" Norton said with a look of disdain, then rolled his eyes and said, "How about this? In a while, I'll be holding a martial arts tournament in the Kingdom of Oicot, and you can be the final defender of the swordsmanship arena, how about that?"

“A martial arts tournament, huh…” Mihawk narrowed his eyes, suddenly becoming interested.

Norton's gaze shifted to Luffy: "And you! When you get back, you'd better behave yourself and train properly! I'll send people to Sabaody to keep an eye on your ship. The New World isn't a place for someone like you! You've heard of the Four Emperors, right? Any one of them could slap you to death!"

"Who said that! I've never stopped training and developing my Devil Fruit powers, okay? After entering the Grand Line, I learned a lot more techniques!" Luffy retorted, sticking his neck out.

"Really? Let's go! Let's have a spar!" Norton stood up, his eyes wide.

Luffy shrank back: "I'm not going! You'll use your Iron Fist of Love again!"

"I don't need it! Let's go!" Norton walked over, grabbed Luffy, and headed out.

Chapter 265 Welcome to the Team

Mihawk stood up with great interest and walked to the window to wait for the show.

Norton grabbed Luffy and jumped out of the window, arriving at the large training ground behind the palace.

Today is the king's wedding day, and the soldiers have a day off, so this place is quite empty.

"Come on!" Norton left Luffy behind, walked to the side, and waved, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Hmph! You asked for this!" Luffy blew his arm out, grinned smugly, and charged forward: "Gum-Gum—Giant Gun!"

The enormous fist, enveloped in Armament Haki, slammed down on Norton with intense wind pressure and unstoppable momentum.

"That's it?"

Norton casually raised his right hand, enveloped it in top-tier Armament Haki, and lightly patted it, slightly covering it with Ryuo.

Snapped--

"Ok?"

With just a light tap, Luffy stared blankly as Norton easily knocked away his enormous fist.

Then, in a flash, Norton rushed in front of Luffy, his left fist also wrapped in Ryuo, and punched Luffy in the stomach.

"Wow—cough cough..."

With one punch, Luffy's eyes widened in shock, and he coughed up blood.

"What... what kind of move is this? How could it hurt me..." After rolling on the ground a few times, Luffy looked at Norton in disbelief.

"Top-tier Armament Haki, plus Haki projection techniques!" Norton walked over and shouted, "Get up, let's try again!"

"Tell me first how to unleash your domineering aura!" Luffy stood up and wiped his mouth.

“It’s very simple!” Norton raised his hand, covering it with Armament Haki, and said, “After covering it with Haki, control the flow of Haki in your arm, and then release it through your fist. It’s like taking a deep breath, blowing all the air into your mouth and holding it until you’ve held it all in, and then suddenly opening your mouth and exhaling a very powerful breath.”

With that, Norton slammed his fist into the ground.

boom--

The fist was still ten centimeters away from the ground when the punch landed, but a large crater was blasted into the ground.

"Wow...that's amazing..." Luffy stared in disbelief, tilting his head and thinking for a moment: "Is it like holding your breath and then blowing it out?"

“And this!” Norton’s eyes narrowed, then snapped open.

hum-

boom!

The advanced Conqueror's Haki suddenly erupted, causing an earthquake within its range.

Feeling the shock of Conqueror's Haki, Luffy was forced back two steps, cold sweat dripping from his forehead as he said, "I know how to do this! It's just... I can't control it freely yet."

"So, from now on, you'll be practicing these things! And the transformation of Haki attributes!" Norton switched to Teacher Norton mode, pacing back and forth as he explained, "Like Sanji and Zoro on your ship, they may not have officially awakened Armament Haki yet, but they've already mastered the transformation of power attributes. You should know that, right?"

Luffy nodded seriously and said, "I know, I'm also very curious about this. After hearing what Norton said, I understand what's going on."

"That's good! If you don't like swordsmanship, then focus on practicing your hand-to-hand combat, Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and Conqueror's Haki! In the New World, there are countless people who know Armament Haki and Observation Haki, and they are all stronger than you! If you, as the captain, want to protect your crew, you must first have the determination and strength to crush everything. Understand?"

"Understood!" Luffy nodded emphatically, then asked, "So when exactly will I be allowed to go to Impel Down?"

“Uh…” Norton raised his hand to his forehead, waving it speechlessly: “Forget it, just go and call Hancock and your sister Irene, and have her open the door and send you straight to the Grand Line…”

"Okay! Thank you, Norton!" Upon hearing this, Luffy was instantly wide awake and turned to run away.

"Damn it... talking so much to someone so clueless is really..." Norton shook his head with a wry smile and turned to look at Hawkeye standing at the window.

"Boring," Hawkeye said, then turned and walked away.

He stood there waiting to see a big fight, and then he just punched the other guy, gave him a few words of reprimand, and that was it?

play?
