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

"It's a secret! I'll tell you later!" Norton grinned, turned, and left.

That feeling of being both close and distant is what Norton wants to give Bonnie right now.

He shouldn't pursue too closely; maintaining a sense of distance is exactly the state he should be in right now.

Otherwise, going too far could very well have the opposite effect.

After all, he had lived two lives. In his previous life, Norton had been in love before, so he was much more experienced than Bonnie, who was a naive girl.

After another day of playing and raising Bonnie's affection level, Garp arrived with his team.

The old man came in shouting that he wanted to drink, and that he wanted to drink while riding the roller coaster.

Goodness, the old man has some really unique taste!

Kapu arrived in the morning and played until the afternoon, after lunch, before returning to the ship with several cases of wine.

"set off!"

With a shout, the fleet left their posts.

The Galai ship, named "Revival" by Irene, sailed alongside Garp's warship on another trip to the Kingdom of Goa.

Karp's trip wasn't just to pick up Norton; he was going to pick up all the kingdoms on the Eastern Islands in one trip.

There are more than 170 member states worldwide, accounting for more than half of the countries in the world.

Only fifty countries are allowed to participate in the World Conference; frankly, it's a matter of whoever is capable gets the spot.

Originally, the Kingdom of Oycott was not qualified to attend the meeting, but because Norton had done a good job in managing the country's intelligence, paid the full amount of Heavenly Gold, and had the added benefit of the wine, they were replaced.

It's too noisy today; Norton hasn't checked in yet.

Now that they're out to sea, Norton and Bonnie are standing at the bow of the ship, feeling the sea breeze, and suddenly they're getting a bit of a Titanic vibe.

"System, check in."

[Ding! Sign-in successful. Congratulations, host, you have obtained a designated location upgrade card.]

"Another upgrade card! System, Bonnie, I love you guys to death!"

Overjoyed, Norton took Bonnie's little hand in his.

It feels smooth to the touch, yes, that's the feeling I like.

Bonnie blushed, but felt a sweet warmth in her heart. She couldn't help but lean against Norton, watching the sunset with him.

Unable to resist, Norton started singing in Mandarin.

"The most romantic thing I can imagine is growing old with you, collecting every bit of laughter along the way, to reminisce about later when we're sitting in rocking chairs..."

"The most romantic thing I can imagine is growing old with you, until we're so old we can't go anywhere, and you still treat me like... the treasure in your palm..."

"What...what are you singing? I can't understand a word of it!" Bonnie looked up curiously after Norton finished singing.

“Oh, it’s a very romantic song, it’s roughly about…” Norton translated for Bonnie with a smile.

"The most romantic thing is growing old together, right? That's easy!" Bonnie giggled after hearing Norton's translation and reached out to touch Norton's arm.

A few seconds later...

An old man and an old woman appeared at the bow of the boat.

The two stared at each other blankly, then couldn't help but laugh.

Even in his old age, Norton remained strong and tall, but Bonnie had shrunk into a little old woman.

Just look at Ba Jin and Grandma Za; they were both great beauties when they were young, but in their old age they both shrunk into little old women.

Norton made a rocking chair out of paper, sat down, picked up Bonnie and placed her on his lap, gently rocking the chair as he watched the sunset.

Hmm, not bad, that's the vibe!

"Hey! Who are you? Have you seen my brother and sister-in-law?" Eileen's voice suddenly rang out.

Norton stood up, looked back, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Grandpa, have you seen my brother and sister-in-law?" Eileen's tone softened as soon as she saw that he was an old man with a face full of wrinkles.

“Silly girl…” Norton grinned and said, “I’m your brother!”

As he spoke, he hugged Bonnie and showed her to Eileen: "We're experiencing the romance of growing old, you wouldn't understand!"

"Wow! You can play like that? How do you all get old? I want to play too!" Eileen immediately became interested.

"Come here! This is my ability." Bonnie opened her mouth, revealing that she had no teeth, and waved her hand.

Eileen immediately ran over, and Bonnie touched Eileen's arm, and Eileen quickly transformed into a little old lady just like her.

"Hehe...fun, so good...ouch...my old back..." Eileen got a little too excited and forgot that she was getting old. She twisted her back in her excitement.

Chapter 88 Where do you get the nerve to act like this?

"Look at you, you're so old, and you still don't know how to be more careful!" Norton couldn't help but laugh.

Bonnie quickly deactivated her powers, and the three of them returned to their youthful appearance. Eileen's back pain instantly disappeared.

"That's fun! Are there any other ways to play?" Eileen held Bonnie's hand and pulled her up.

“I can make myself and others old, and I can make myself and others children. Want to try?” Bonnie perked up when it was time to demonstrate her abilities to Norton.

"Shh-"

Norton suddenly pulled Bonnie close, hugged her, and covered her mouth: "You must never mention your abilities to outsiders in the future. If those bastards from the World Government find out, they'll arrest you and make you turn all those old men into young men every day!"

The sudden act of intimacy made Bonnie feel dizzy and embarrassed at first, before she realized what Norton had said.

"Um……"

Bonnie nodded, her heart pounding, and pressed her lips together forcefully before Norton released her.

Eileen, standing nearby, was completely dumbfounded.

Are things progressing so quickly between my brother and sister-in-law?

This was so unexpected...

She opened her mouth, about to say something, when Norton suddenly looked at her: "And remember, don't tell anyone about Bonnie's abilities."

"Oh..." Eileen nodded, covering her mouth, then giggled and pulled Bonnie aside to whisper something.

"Your Majesty." Colt, who had been waiting at the cabin door, came over.

He was overjoyed to see what had just happened.

As a loyal subject, he naturally hoped that his king could find a queen he liked and then give birth to the seeds of hope for the kingdom as soon as possible.

"Have our new diplomats settled in yet?" Norton walked over and glanced into the cabin.

"It's alright, she's still practicing the communication methods you taught her." Colt smiled.

The decision was made too suddenly. The bold and meticulous Mickey was suddenly assigned the position of diplomat by Norton, and her mind was a little overwhelmed.

Norton later gave her some general guidance on how to communicate with people from other countries and how to cooperate with people from the Ministry of Commerce, which gave her some confidence.

Right now, Miki is standing in her cabin, facing the mirror in front of her, speaking with a professional smile.

"Hello, I am Miki, a diplomat from the Kingdom of Oycot. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Oh, that's wonderful! I hope we can cooperate more in the future..."

"The future is promising, so why not take a bold step forward? Perhaps unlimited business opportunities await you ahead!"

As she spoke each sentence, Miki could feel herself becoming more and more composed.

"Miki, you can do it! No matter how big the storm, it can't stop you. You will never let His Majesty and the Princess down! Go, go, go!"

Miki let out a long sigh of relief, encouraged herself for a while, and then turned and walked out of the cabin.

They were about to reach the Kingdom of Goa, and the fleet would begin to expand.

Of the fifty member states of the World Conference, three are located in the East China Sea.

In addition to the newly added Kingdom of Oicot, there is also the Kingdom of Goa and the Kingdom of Bot, which Norton had never heard of before.

When Norton heard the name of the third member country, he thought it was the hometown of Harry Potter.

Once he saw the list and confirmed that the "Bo" in Bote Kingdom meant glass, not the "Bo" in "big"...wave, he stopped worrying about it.

Soon, the naval fleet joined up with the ships of the Kingdom of Goa.

Although the Goa Kingdom was highly valued by the World Government, it did not receive the treatment of being personally received by Garp.

The other party quickly arrived at the side of the Kingdom of Oycot's ship, and King Otluk II came to the side of the ship to greet them.

"Hi, which one of you is His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Oicot? I am King Otreuk II of the Kingdom of Goa."

This guy was dressed in a king's robe, wearing a rather mismatched crown, and sporting a long mustache that twitched as he spoke.

Norton walked over upon hearing the sound. Dressed in a gorgeous blue outfit, his tall and handsome appearance instantly overshadowed the second prince opposite him.

"King Goa, hello. I am Ranchi Norton, the King of the Kingdom of Oycot. It's a pleasure to meet you." Norton greeted him politely.

"Hahahaha... I've long heard that the King of the Kingdom of Oycot is very young, but I never expected him to be this young. Seeing is believing, and the younger generation is truly formidable!"

Although Otruuk II was smiling on the surface, it looked far too fake.

If you can't speak properly, then don't come out and embarrass yourself, okay?

We're all kings here, and you're practically halfway to your coffin, what the hell are you pretending for?

What an idiot! You've created such a severe polarization in your own country, where do you get the right to act all high and mighty with me?

Norton was inwardly cursing, but maintained a calm smile on his face.

Their country has a very close relationship with the Kingdom of Goa in the liquor trade; both low-alcohol and high-alcohol beverages sell very well there.

In the East Blue, the orders from the Goa Kingdom and the Bot Kingdom are huge, followed by the World Government and the Navy.

After a few perfunctory words, Otrulk II's throat was practically hoarse, and he hurriedly waved goodbye.

Late at night……

After dinner, the Norton people started doing squats, frog jumps, and push-ups on their clothes.

Eileen took Bonnie back to the Kingdom of Oicot to take a bath, and then they returned feeling refreshed.
