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

"Inform? Inform what?" Norton sneered. "Does the Kingdom of Oycot have to report to your World Government every time it builds a toilet?"

"I...I didn't mean that...I..."

"Alright, shut up! Go do whatever you're supposed to do, don't force me to expel you from the Kingdom of Oycot! You never do anything productive all day long, just wander around our country aimlessly, what use are you to me!"

Norton waved his hand impatiently, then suddenly appeared in front of the man in the suit.

"Remember who you are! How our Kingdom of Oicot develops is none of the World Government's business! We haven't skimped on our Celestial Gold! Don't let me underestimate your World Government!"

After speaking in a cold voice, Norton waved his hand and said, "Show him out."

"Yes!" Colt waved his hand, and two elite soldiers immediately went over.

Upon seeing the two men, the man in the suit's pupils contracted.

The man in the suit also sensed a threat emanating from them.

“The Kingdom of Oycott is really different now... It seems I need to keep a low profile from now on…” The man in the suit nodded through gritted teeth and left with a livid face.

"Your Majesty!" Du Sen walked in cheerfully as soon as the man in the suit left.

Chapter 62 Saying Goodbye to the Past, Announcing Rebirth

Norton asked with a smile, "You look so happy, is there some good news?"

Du Sen bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the supplies you asked me to purchase have all arrived this morning."

"This is truly wonderful news!" Norton's eyes lit up as he looked at Colt and said, "Give the order to clear the outer city area completely. Leave no one outside. I plan to begin construction there, on the buildings that will propel the Kingdom of Oicot to new heights!"

"Yes!"

Colt didn't hesitate and immediately turned to do it.

“Brother…” Eileen rubbed her sleepy lips and casually walked over.

"Brother's back, why are you up so early?" He reached out and took Eileen's hand, and the two of them returned to their seats.

"I'm used to it." Eileen smiled, blushing.

With a sudden thought, Norton asked, "I'm asking you, do you have any wishes? I can try to help you fulfill them."

"A wish?" Eileen tilted her head and thought for a moment, then smiled and shook her head, saying, "No more! My wish used to be to escape this misery and to make the Kingdom of Oycot a better place. Now, my brother has fulfilled all of that for me, so that's all."

"Oh? How can there not be? Well then! I'll grant you a wish!" Norton said, holding Eileen's little hand. "I'll build you an amusement park in the outer city! Then, not only can you go inside and outside, but our Kingdom of Oycot can also attract more tourists. That way, our kingdom can become even richer and happier, how about it?"

"Really?" Eileen's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

“Of course!” Norton smiled gently.

"That's great!" Eileen happily rushed over and hugged Norton.

The officials below, seeing this, all smiled knowingly.

Colt returned half an hour later.

There weren't many people in the outer city to begin with, and he took his men there for a stroll and cleared them all out.

Norton nodded, dismissed everyone, and eagerly opened the management interface to start building things up like crazy.

"System, check-in!"

While building, Norton didn't forget to check in.

[Ding! Sign-in successful. Congratulations, host, you have obtained an A-grade airship template.]

A-class rigid airship template: Can manufacture A-class large, medium and small rigid airships. The airship has its own power system, stable flight, high safety, and the airbags and secondary main airbags are bulletproof and fireproof.

Upon hearing about the reward, Norton's hands, which were busy with construction, trembled.

"Wow... With this thing, the Kingdom of Oicot is like having an air force! Awesome!" Norton clenched his fist and continued operating it.

Under his control, buildings began to appear on the flat land of the outer city of the Kingdom of Oycot.

It includes a small seaside casino, a large bar, a large hotel, a high-end villa residential area, and all the buildings of a film and television city.

Norton placed two Grade A solar panels on the highest tower of the palace, and power lines were run directly from the imperial city to the outside of the city, connected by tall utility poles.

The Grade A solar panels are sufficient to power both the palace and the entertainment area.

……

On the outer city wall.

All the guards were dumbfounded as they watched the buildings rise from the ground.

Colt, standing nearby, also felt a chill run down his spine.

However, in order to ensure morale stability, he tried his best to remain calm.

"Could our king really be a god? Otherwise... this is simply inexplicable..."

Colt looked down at the towering monument that had been rapidly built near the city gate, his eyes burning with fervor.

This morning, people from all over the city will come to the monument to pay tribute to the dead with the head of Sarachi, the captain of the Black Hand Pirates.

One hour later!

The former outer city area has now been replaced by towering buildings, novel seaside entertainment venues, and luxurious villa districts.

It all feels like a dream!

It seems like only yesterday that the outer city was a scene of ruins.

In the blink of an eye, everything changed when His Majesty the Great and Magical King arrived!

"Clang—clang—clang—"

The resounding chimes pulled Colt back to his senses.

That was the sound of the great bell in the imperial city, which indicated that the sacrificial ceremony was about to begin.

"Stop standing there like idiots! Open the city gates and prepare to begin the sacrificial ceremony!"

"Yes!"

Amidst the shouts, the soldiers quickly recovered and went off to carry out their missions.

Twenty minutes later, tens of thousands of people from all over the Kingdom of Oycot had gathered in front of the monument outside the city gate, forming a huge, dark mass.

The monument was built on a small hill outside the city gate, and Norton and the others were standing in front of it.

Colt took the wooden box from Tommy and turned to Norton's side.

“Open it.” Norton nodded.

Colt opened the box without saying a word and lifted the head slightly.

Norton stepped forward, raising his imperial scepter and pointing it at Sarachi's head, proclaiming, "My people! Not long ago, I personally went to the Grand Line to hunt down the Black Hand Pirates. Although the process was somewhat tortuous, I successfully fulfilled my mission and killed Sarachi! This is his head! Now, let us use his head to pay tribute to our fallen kin and to the Marines who protected us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Colt raised his head and walked towards the monument, placing it on the altar that had been prepared beforehand.

At the same time, the Royal Court Band played a mournful tune.

Faral stepped forward and shouted.

"A bow!"

"A second bow!"

"Three years of bowing!"

All the people, including ministers such as Norton, bowed three times to the monument.

"Three minutes of silence!"

Finally, after Faral finished his announcement, he turned around, closed his eyes with everyone, and clasped his hands together in front of his chest to begin a moment of silence.

At this moment, the members of Organization P were looking around in bewilderment.

There was also a birdman with a camera on the periphery, taking pictures of the surroundings and the monument.

This guy is none other than the president of World Economic News, known as "Big News" Morgans.

He came by invitation; Norton wanted more people to know that the man who had dealt such a heavy blow to the Kingdom of Oicot had been beheaded.

The Navy couldn't catch them, and the World Government didn't care. We took revenge ourselves, we don't need your help!

From this day forward, the Kingdom of Oicot will truly stand once again on the world stage.

In addition, Norton also wanted to use Morgans to promote his liquor and casino business.

The memorial ceremony ended, and it was noon.

The celebration banquet that wasn't held yesterday has been moved to today.

A morning memorial service for the deceased, followed by a celebratory banquet at noon – perfectly reasonable!

Saying goodbye to the past and declaring a new beginning is absolutely worth celebrating.

In the palace banquet hall, Morgans held a wine glass, smelling the ordinary white wine inside, looking completely intoxicated.

Chapter 63 My First Casino Trip

“Mr. Morgans, I’m leaving the newspaper matter to you. In addition to the fees that should be paid, I will send you a hundred bottles of liquor later as a token of my gratitude.” Norton walked over with a smile.

“Thank you so much! This liquor is truly delicious!” Morgans thanked him politely, took a sip, and then said, “But His Majesty, are you really going to report the matter of Sarachi? My intelligence mentioned that Sarachi seems to be one of Shiki’s men. Not long ago, he was furious about it and went to Water Seven to cause a ruckus. If he finds out that you were the one who did it, he might come here in person.”

Norton's smile vanished, replaced by an official demeanor. "No problem! Go ahead and report it! It's fine! We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Do you think I'm afraid of a crippled pirate? He is ruthless, cutting off his own legs to escape Impel Down. He's also cruel, slaughtering several island villages and towns to achieve his goals, almost destroying the Kingdom of Oycott. But so what? Justice will never be absent, and I, the King, will not fear such an evil person!"

Morgans simply smiled and offered no comment, but inwardly he was thinking, "This little guy doesn't look his age at all. Is he really only fifteen? How come he speaks with such an old-fashioned air?"

"Oh, by the way, if it's convenient for you, could you please add an advertisement to the newspaper? The Kingdom of Oicot is eager to hire a skilled kendo instructor. If Mihawk comes, he'll receive a complimentary bottle of fine wine." Suddenly remembering this, Norton looked at Morgans again.

"Oh? Is it that famous greatsword master Mihawk?" Morgans nodded and said, "No problem. I heard that he has been looking for people to spar with and duel in recent years, so the chances of him coming are slim."

"Thanks! Whether he comes or not depends on luck!" Norton nodded and shook hands with Morgans.

The two of them conducted a simple interview, had a meal, and then Morgans left.

At this time, the Seven Warlords of the Sea had not yet been established, and Mihawk was still in the stage of challenging others everywhere.

Some time ago, he had planned to go and spar with his old friend Shanks, but when he heard that Shanks had lost an arm in the East Blue for a little kid, he turned back without a second thought.

After the victory celebration banquet at noon, Norton built a small airship and placed it by the moat of the imperial city.
