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

"However, all countries that join the Freedom Alliance need to lend a helping hand when other countries suffer natural disasters. The Freedom Alliance I want to build should be a great unity alliance where everyone helps each other when one is in trouble!"

So that's how it is!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

When one place is in trouble, help comes from all sides—that's so true!

Isn't this exactly what many countries have been hoping for?

If something really happens, they have to beg and plead with neighboring countries for help, which is incredibly painful.

"Fifth, the right to relocate to the Red Earth Continent! All countries that join the Freedom Alliance can apply to the Freedom Alliance headquarters for the right to relocate. In the future, you may be able to live on the Red Earth Continent, making it the birthplace of the Belt and Road Initiative, an economic community. Let it become the economic and political core of the Freedom Alliance, and no longer an obstacle to everyone's development!"

"My God, am I dreaming?!"

"I never imagined that I would have the chance to return to the Red Line in my lifetime!"

"Back then, when my ancestors were driven from the Red Line into the sea by the World Government, how painful it was... I never thought... I never thought I would have any hope of returning to the Red Line..."

This fifth point has once again caused many people to sigh.

They once lived on the red earth continent decades or even centuries ago.

Later, as the world government became increasingly authoritarian in its management of the member states, the countries living on the red earth were also driven out.

"sixth……"

"seventh……"

"eighth……"

Norton stood in the central hall, occasionally changing direction as he spoke eloquently.

Norton finished speaking after reciting ten points in one go.

Instead of finding it boring, everyone present listened with increasingly bright eyes.

Because these ten rules of the Freedom Alliance may sound very harsh at first glance, but in reality, each of these ten rules takes into account all countries and all races.

"Alright, those are the ten benefits and ten rules of joining the Freedom Alliance. In the days to come, as the Freedom Alliance grows stronger, these ten rules will be further improved. Now, please discuss them yourselves. The seats behind me are for the kings who have already joined the Freedom Alliance. You can also ask them about their current situation. We have one hour. Dinner will be served in one hour."

After Norton finished speaking, he turned to the side and pointed to the seats behind him, then turned and retreated with his men.

Norton's withdrawal immediately roused the previously hesitant neutrals, who rushed to the Free Alliance seats and enthusiastically discussed the benefits of joining the Free Alliance with kings they knew or did not know.

Norton didn't prepare any speeches or answers for these kings at all; all the responses came from the heart.

"Oh my! Speaking of joining the Freedom Alliance, it's been incredibly convenient and comfortable! As you've heard before, the Freedom Alliance has its own internal laws and regulations to support it, as well as a complete set of mature national operation and management plans. So, we're all very relaxed now. We don't even need to worry about many things; our subordinates handle everything directly. Moreover, the country's economic growth rate is increasing month by month, not year by year..."

"Besides that, the Free Alliance won't be stingy with the development and sharing of technology. You've seen bicycles, but have you seen electric bikes? Electric cars? And airships, televisions..."

The kings of the Free Alliance praised the Free Alliance with great enthusiasm, listing all sorts of new things.

Still not convinced enough, someone pulled out a high-tech phone, opened a behind-the-scenes video, found the Free Alliance's promotional video, and showed it to the other kings and tribal chiefs.

Upon closer inspection, both the content of the video and the phone in the king's hand amazed everyone.

Looking at what was happening before them and hearing their constant gasps of shock, Norton and the others all laughed.

The desired effect has been achieved. Now it remains to be seen how many of those who came to participate in the invitation will be willing to stay.

“According to statistics, a total of 167 countries and more than a dozen ethnic groups have come to participate in this World Conference.” Eileen sat next to Norton and said softly the statistics she had just compiled.

“One hundred and sixty-seven countries, that’s already pretty good!” Norton nodded in satisfaction. “This is just the beginning. In a year or two, or three or four years, as the Free Alliance grows stronger, those who are still hesitant will definitely be envious.”

"When that time comes, it will be time for the Freedom Alliance to flex its muscles for the second time! They'll launch a counterattack, suppress the enemy, and offer some benefits, leaving the remaining countries with only one option."

After Norton finished speaking, he put his arm around Bonnie and said, "Dad should be back soon. He's working with Dr. Vegapunk on the final adjustments and improvements. In the future, Dad's lifespan will be extended a lot because of the cyborg modification."

"You took such a sudden turn in the topic that I'm a little caught off guard!" Bonnie rolled her eyes and playfully slapped him on the chest.

Norton smiled faintly and looked at Eileen again: "There will be another pirate invitation event in three days. It depends on whether those people in the New World will do us the honor of attending."

“I will make the arrangements.” Eileen nodded and continued, “In addition, King Judge of the Vinsmoke family has contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They want to come tonight and meet with you alone.”

"When did this guy become so wary?" Norton was quite surprised.

Chapter 310 The Body Tells a Truth

The Vinsmoke family had always lived a quiet but unremarkable life on the high seas.

To be honest, they are a legion of cyborgs and clones, and they dare to challenge anyone.

But ever since the Freedom Alliance set foot in Beihai, they haven't dared to be arrogant anymore!

There was no way around it; the Free Alliance's methods of eliminating pirates were simply too terrifying. If they hadn't sent someone to confirm whether I was a pirate crew or a country before attacking me, I probably would have been wiped out by the Free Alliance long ago.

Their pride in bloodline modifications and physical alterations is nothing but a joke in the face of the powerful figures of the Free Alliance.

Although Norton only gave them an hour to talk, everyone still gathered together chatting and laughing during lunch at the World Conference.

Because Norton operates on a buffet-style basis, allowing everyone to move around and chat freely, so that they can eat and talk at the same time.

In this way, those who have not yet decided to join the Freedom Alliance will have their communication time extended.

So in the end, lunch lasted from noon until 4:30 pm.

At 4:30, the Freedom Alliance's performance started on time.

They've never seen anything like this before when they attended world conferences.

If the world government isn't going to try to make you suffer, then who the hell is going to arrange a world conference performance for you?

I must say the current Freedom Alliance is quite magnanimous!

Uta's song resounded at the top of the world, winning the approval of all the kings of the countries present, as well as the chieftains of other races.

Following that were dance performances, skits, and other wonderful shows.

In short, there were all sorts of novel performances that continued until evening, after which everyone began to have dinner.

In high spirits, everyone continued to share their experiences.

After all that commotion, everyone was still having fun until 10 p.m.

Only when exhaustion overwhelmed them and drowsiness became unbearable did they check into a VIP hotel, arranged by the Freedom Alliance.

Just as Judge said, they came when everyone had left and the night was deep.

As a portal opened, Norton looked up ahead.

This is his royal study; it is an honor for them to receive Judge and his men here.

"Greetings, King Norton. I am Vinsmoke Judge, the current head of House Vinsmoke." Judge approached with his three sons and one daughter.

"Greetings, King Norton."

Yuji and the others had been repeatedly reminded by Judge before they arrived, which is why they bowed in greeting.

"Please have a seat," Norton said, gesturing to the sofa beside him.

Before Judge could speak, Norton clapped his hands and said, "Mr. Judge, I specifically asked someone to inform you that I have something else to discuss with you, and it's about this..."

After saying that, Norton raised his hand and pointed to the screen wall.

As soon as Judge and the others sat down, they looked in the direction Norton pointed.

Nolan then divided the screen wall into three split screens: one of the universe and starry sky, one of the lunar base, and the last one of the space station.

“This…this is…” Judge frowned.

He had observed the universe through a telescope before, but he had never done so.

Besides, that's the moon! When did a base get built on it?

And what about the last video?

What is that? Why is it in space?

"Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to introduce myself!"

Nolan turned around and began to explain to Judge and the others in a sweet voice.

At first, Judge and the others didn't think much of it.

But the more they heard, the more interesting the expressions on Judge's and the others' faces became.

"Therefore, Mr. Judge, I think it is unwise for you to try to dominate Aquamarine with your abilities! You belong to the stars and the sea, to explore and conquer other planets!"

After Nolan finished speaking, Norton, while Judge and the others were still somewhat stunned, said something like this.

"That's right!" Judge slapped his thigh and said, "My clone army is least afraid of battles that take place in the vast universe! Moreover, compared to this blue planet beneath our feet, the vast universe is more suitable for my ambitions!"

As he spoke, his eyes grew brighter and brighter. Judge suddenly stood up and looked at Norton excitedly, saying, "King Norton, I am willing to join the Freedom Alliance and the mission to conquer the stars! Please, you must approve my membership!"

Judge now understands very clearly that if he wants to enter the cosmos, the Free Alliance will definitely have a way to send them in.

In other words, if you want to compete in the cosmos, joining the Free Alliance is like getting a ticket to the game.

None of Yongzhi and the others spoke, because the pressure Norton exerted on them was too great, even giving them the illusion that "if they say the wrong thing, they will be killed instantly."

"Oh? Have you thought it through?" Norton smiled slightly, his eyes fixed on him.

"I've thought it through!" Judge nodded, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. The pressure Norton was putting on him was immense.

That was the pressure of the strong, the pressure of a true strongman.

"Alright! Then after you wake up tomorrow, take your family's giant ship and prepare to take off." Norton was very happy that his goal had been achieved.

Another old man has passed away, and the world has been beautified by itself once again.

Doing good deeds and accumulating merit by eliminating a warmonger earns you +10001 merit points...

Norton then spent nearly an hour discussing the details with Judge before seeing them off.

"Ah... I'm exhausted... Brother..." After seeing the group off, Eileen groaned and lay down on the sofa.

"If you're tired, go back and take a shower and get some rest. Once the World Conference is over, we can get down to business." Norton smiled, stood up, walked over, pulled his sister up, and pushed her back.

"Okay, okay..." Eileen lazily opened the door to her room and went inside.

The next morning, the Vinsmoke family's giant ship arrived.

Angela sent them to the shipyard for some modifications and then returned them to Judge. She then watched them fly into the sky and head towards the stars and the sea.

Today is the day when the countries and races invited to the World Conference make their choices.
