One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

During the parade and celebration, everyone is required to wear masks that cover part of their face.

This way, the mystery is maintained without making it impossible to recognize who is who.

You can choose to give the flowers in your hand to your family and friends to express your most sincere blessings.

It can also be used to express love and reveal one's feelings to someone they like.

Every year on this day of the Flower Festival, a large number of young men and women confirm their romantic relationships, and some even get married.

Therefore, there are many people waiting to propose on this day.

As it was the grandest festival of the year, Lucy got up early, put on her most beautiful clothes, and applied her most gorgeous makeup.

At that moment, Señor, now dressed in a new suit, stood outside the door holding a large bouquet of bright red roses, waiting for his muse.

When the door is opened from the inside.

Cúsian, dressed in a long white dress, stood there gracefully with a bright smile.

In an instant, Señor felt as if time had flowed back to that rainy night.

He was stunned, standing there dumbfounded, motionless.

Until Lucian playfully skipped up to him with her hands behind her back and extended her hand to him, "Excuse me, sir, is this bouquet of flowers for me?"

Señor then came to his senses and hurriedly handed the flowers to the other person.

Lucian lowered his head, took a deep sniff, and immediately showed a satisfied expression. "Let's hurry up, the parade and celebration are about to begin."

Before Señor could say anything, Lucien had already grabbed his hand and started jogging.

Gradually, a happy smile appeared on his face.

If Abel saw this, he would definitely scold him for being spineless, not taking any initiative, and acting like a fool.

The celebration began quickly and was very grand in scale.

Leading the procession was the royal family's special float, pulled by a magnificently dressed elephant.

Behind them were the floats of the nobles, which were significantly smaller in scale than those of the royal family, but there were many of them.

Then there are the powerful officials and wealthy businessmen; the fact that they can get into such a group is enough to demonstrate their status.

Finally, there were the lucky few selected to ride on the floats, along with various performance groups.

In addition, most ordinary people lined both sides of the road, cheering loudly for the important figures they would never normally see, while watching the various wonderful performances and enjoying the festive atmosphere.

Lucien and Señor stood among the vast majority of ordinary people, inconspicuous.

Until the beautiful princess publicly announced that she would invite a lucky person to ride with her on a float and elephant throughout the entire parade.

"Me? Is it really me? Pique, am I dreaming?!"

When Her Highness pointed precisely at Lucien amidst the thousands of people, Lucien was both surprised and nervous.

"It's you, Lucian. Hurry up and go, don't keep Her Highness waiting."

"But I..."

"Haven't you always wanted to experience what it's like to ride in a parade float? Now your dream can come true! And it's not just any float, it's the most prestigious elephant float, what are you waiting for?"

"Then what about you? We made a promise to be together..."

"Don't worry, you go first. I have a plan. You'll be able to spot me at a glance."

At Señor's urging, Lucien could only nod in agreement. Escorted by guards, he successfully boarded the elephant carriage and then sat on the elephant's back with the princess, enjoying the cheers of everyone along the way.

At this moment, Lucien felt a sense of unreality, as if his dream had come true, and for some reason, he was at a loss.

She looked back, wanting to find that figure who could put her at ease and give her a sense of security, but she couldn't find it anywhere.

So much so that during the rest of the march, she was constantly distracted, always thinking about someone.

It wasn't until halfway through the celebration that Lucien could no longer sit still and wanted to leave.

Suddenly, countless colorful balloons were released into the air.

Then, with a sound that could be interpreted as either a gunshot or a firecracker, a large number of balloons exploded in the air.

Then came a shower of flower petals falling from the sky.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

"My God, so many petals."

"It's so beautiful, I'm breathless."

"Look over there! Someone's blocking the way for the celebration parade!"

"What? Who dares to do this? Are all the guards responsible for maintaining order asleep?"

……

Amidst gasps and clamor, and accompanied by a shower of flower petals, four white horses pulled a not-so-large but exquisitely decorated float, blocking the parade route.

Lucian immediately covered her mouth in surprise.

Because Señor, whom she had been longing for, was standing in the float opposite her, having taken off his sunglasses and looking at her with deep affection.

Abel, who was in charge of driving the float, slowly brought it to a stop.

Amidst the watchful eyes of thousands, Señor took out the ring and uttered what might be the most manly words of his life.

"Although I am not a prince and cannot give you a magnificent elephant carriage, you can always be the princess in my heart."

"so……"

"Lucian, will you marry me?"

Wow! ! !

The crowd, who had expected something terrible to happen, instantly erupted in excitement!

Although countless people will find their love on this day, or even propose to their beloved.

But this person is the first to be so bold as to intercept a royal parade float to propose!

And they made such a grand spectacle of it!

At this moment, no one would consider the balloons and petals that had just rained down as part of the celebration.

This guy clearly came prepared!

Not only did no one step forward to drive them away, but even the royal family members all seemed to be watching the spectacle with amusement.

If you think about it a bit more, from the moment the princess chooses her travel companions, it has nothing to do with luck anymore.

But no one criticized the injustice; people preferred to see a romantic story like this instead!

"I do! I do! I do!"

When Lucian, with tears of happiness in her eyes, immediately climbed down from the luxurious elephant carriage and ran to the small flower-decorated car, throwing herself into the man's arms, the atmosphere reached its peak!

Countless people cheered for the precious love they had witnessed today!

Everyone was satisfied, except for Abel, who was calculating the cost.

It's obvious what price would be required to get the royal family to cooperate with this performance.

Señor probably can't afford it, and it's unclear whether Doflamingo will reimburse him.

Oh, worry!

Chapter 198 Bad Woman

"Your Highness, this stop is fine."

"Then... when will you come again? I'll take you to see the sea of ​​flowers. It's full of all kinds of beautiful flowers, and judging by the time, they should all be in full bloom soon."

"Okay, I will definitely come back if I have the chance."

"Then it's a deal!"

"Um……"

Abel, who was about to leave by boat, looked at the beautiful princess who was reluctant to part with him and felt helpless.

Previously, in order to help Señor put on a grand and romantic marriage proposal, he had to set his sights on the country's royal family.

With the cooperation of the other party, he was able to turn all his ideas into reality.

The good news is that the Don Quixote family's flag has long been flying here, and the entire country is under their protection.

Of course, this protection sounds nice, but in reality, it's for the purpose of openly accepting "tribute".

This is also the significance of occupying territory.

Therefore, Abel went to the palace and revealed his status as a leader.

Because of the warrant, the royal family easily confirmed his identity.

Then came a series of negotiations and bargaining.

It wasn't a big deal to begin with, and the royal family isn't stupid; they wouldn't refuse and offend the Don Quixote family, who were at the height of their power in the North Sea.

With this relationship established, if anything were to happen in the future, would the Don Quixote family be able to ignore it?

This is a deal that's profitable no matter how you look at it.

Ultimately, both parties reached a mutually satisfactory outcome.

Abel never expected that his charm would be so great that he would captivate the princess who had just turned 18.

Despite his repeated assertions that he was still too young.

But the princess said she was still young and could wait.

What's most interesting is that her father, the king, didn't object to his daughter pursuing happiness, nor did he care about Abel's 'special status'.

This is probably a common trait among the people of the Roman Isles: they're willing to disregard everything for the sake of romantic love.

Everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness, a right that even a king cannot take away.

But Abel knew that he couldn't stay in the North Sea forever, much less spend his life peacefully with this beautiful princess.
