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

Even so, several families still buried people there.

The defense forces and security teams, who were already prepared, rushed to the scene as soon as they received the notification and quickly dug out the people trapped inside.

Fortunately, no one died, only some were injured.

When this news reached Norton, he immediately instructed Raul to arrange for the injured to drink Grade A water, which was reserved for royalty and officials.

Grade A water, which can improve physical condition, can be given to wounded soldiers to drink, thus accelerating the healing process.

But none of that is the most crucial point!

The key issue is that, following the recent earthquake, the Kingdom of Oycot, which originally covered approximately 50,000 square kilometers, has now expanded to 70,000 square kilometers.

The increase in the territory's area also created many more open spaces in the Kingdom of Oycot.

This 40% expansion has inevitably increased the city's area.

Norton paid for the necessary materials without hesitation to expand the roads and related facilities.

For example, electrical wires, drainage pipes...

The next morning, Mr. Du Sen went for a morning run in the back mountain.

But as he ran, he suddenly realized that he hadn't reached the foot of the mountain yet.

Normally, it takes him about twenty minutes to run from the palace training ground to the foot of the back mountain.

But I've been running for half an hour now, why haven't I arrived yet?

Du Sen slowly stopped, frowned, and looked sharply in the direction of the palace, then in the direction of the back mountain, stroking his chin in deep thought.

"What are you thinking about?" At this moment, Grandpa Dumi's voice rang in my ears; he had also come for his morning exercise.

"Ah! I've got it!"

"Are you... trying to murder me for money?"

Dusen suddenly shouted in astonishment, startling Dumi so much that she clutched her heart and took a few steps back.

"No, no, no... wait... wait, I'll tell you the answer!" Dusen turned and ran like a madman, shouting as he ran, "Raul, quickly get your men to bring the distance measuring device! Hurry up..."

Raul, puzzled, scratched his head but still sent someone to get the thing.

Not long after Dusen took the measurements, the answer came out.

"As expected... as expected..." Dusen shouted, trembling all over, "After the earthquake, the distance between the palace and the back mountain has increased!"

"It's expanded? Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Dumi became nervous again.

Raul shook his head and asked nervously, "I'm not quite sure either. Does the expansion mean the island has risen or fallen?"

"I'm afraid only our great king knows the truth about this matter!" Dusen said, looking towards the palace.

If nothing unexpected happens, Norton and his group should have already returned to the palace for breakfast.

The group immediately headed to the palace.

……

"System, check-in!"

Just as Dusen and the others had expected, Norton was already having dinner with Erin, Bonnie, Bellemere, Nojiko, and Nami, and had even signed in.

Chapter 101 made me feel completely uninvolved!

[Ding! Sign-in successful. Congratulations, host, you have obtained an S-rank radar Den Den Mushi, which has been stored in your personal space.]

S-Class Radar Den Den Mushi: A new type of Den Den Mushi with radar coverage spanning the entire East China Sea. It is extremely sensitive to both good and evil. It emits a piercing alarm when someone attempts to attack its country.

"System! You've finally made your move on the biotechnology of this world? This radar Den Den Mushi is outrageous! It's incredible!"

The system ignored him, but Du Sen and the others who rushed over couldn't sit still any longer.

With a series of hurried footsteps, Du Sen and his group arrived at the restaurant, panting heavily.

"Hey? Why are you all here? Have you left? If you haven't eaten, sit down and have something to eat!" Seeing their anxious expressions, Norton felt a pang of guilt.

"Your Majesty! When do you plan to tell us about the earthquake?" Du Sen took a few deep breaths and asked in a trembling voice.

"Oh... you figured it out?" Norton grinned sheepishly.

Du Sen beat his chest and stamped his feet, saying, "I am old, but I am not blind! The distance from the palace to the back mountain has increased by more than half overnight. Even if I were stupid, I could not possibly not notice it."

Mr. Dusen is truly devoted to the country...

The fact that a Minister of Commerce has to keep a close eye on the country's changes every day is something that makes King Norton feel somewhat ashamed.

"Ah...haha...I was planning to tell you this after dinner..." Norton said guiltily after his usual comeback, "I...I just...used my abilities to expand our country's area to 70,000 square kilometers."

"what!"

Everyone gasped in surprise.

70,000 square kilometers!

what does this mean?

This means that their Kingdom of Oycot has transformed from a small island nation into a medium-sized island nation.

This also means that the nation-building of the Kingdom of Oycot has become somewhat small and needs to be expanded accordingly.

Everyone talks about making the Kingdom of Oycot rich and powerful. Wealth is already on the way, but power is what every person in the kingdom is hoping for.

just now!

A powerful opportunity is right in front of us, and it is being rewritten step by step by this god-like king, making him stronger with each step!

Excitement! Thrill! Blood boiling...

The ministers who rushed over instantly became breathless, their faces flushed, and some even had red eyes.

"Goodness... Is it really necessary to get so excited... I hope nothing bad happens... You're already so old..." Norton said with some concern as he put a large piece of meat into his mouth and chewed it vigorously.

"Your Majesty... I suggest... expanding and renovating the kingdom's urban area!" After taking a few deep breaths, Dusen finally voiced his thoughts.

"Well... I've already thought of that. Once my abilities are ready, I'll let everyone know to prepare. That's all!" After quickly finishing the last piece of meat, Norton stood up and winked at Eileen.

Eileen nodded, got up, opened the door, and went inside.

Norton quickly pulled Bonnie, who was still clutching the big meat stick, and ran inside with a silly grin.

"Alas... our king is still just a child after all..."

"Yeah...we shouldn't push too hard."

"Think about it carefully, His Majesty is only sixteen..."

As Norton disappeared from sight, the ministers composed themselves and began to sigh again.

……

The Fifty Nations World Conference began this morning.

The group sat around a huge round table and began a heated debate about future development and security issues.

Norton sat quietly on the edge of the Kingdom of Bot, adopting a helpless posture.

Boring, so incredibly boring!

Is such a meeting truly meaningful?

It's simply a change from a verbal battle in the courtyard to a verbal battle around the round table.

The countries with grudges moved to a different location and continued their insults across the table.

"I still maintain that I hope the World Government can increase its military presence in the New World. There are too many pirates here! Especially the Four Emperors!"

"That's right! Besides the Four Emperors' forces, there are also many unknown pirates who are committing crimes on the move."

"Bah! You think the four seas are safe? We were attacked by pirates in the South China Sea not long ago!"

"Tch, pirates who can go to the South China Sea must be incredibly weak, okay? We can take care of them with just one of our own!"

"Chao! If you guys are so awesome, why did you still need to send naval soldiers..."

The arguing and shouting suddenly stopped.

The door opened, and the Five Elders walked in.

Norton watched as the five old men, with blank expressions, came and sat down, exuding an air of authority.

At the same time, he also knew that each of these five old ghosts was incredibly powerful, with strength far exceeding that of the Grand Prize winners.

So all Norton can do now is sit calmly in the crowd and watch you go crazy and have fun.

"Let's begin," the elderly man with the Mediterranean nose said calmly, his eyes narrowed.

After a moment of silence, it was the few countries from the New World who spoke first.

They all have essentially the same goal: to increase the size of the navy in the New World to counter the Four Emperors and powerful pirates.

Then someone complained about the challenging behavior of a certain country, denouncing how the other side lacked martial ethics.

The Five Elders had only one answer to this question.

"The World Government will not intervene in the war between the two countries, so we still advise you all to sit down and talk calmly. If you can avoid using force, then you should avoid using force."

Isn't this the same as not saying anything at all?

You don't care about the internal affairs of the kingdoms, and you don't care about the war between the two countries either. What kind of world government are you?

Moreover, with the two nations of the New World at the start of the war, the World Government was even further removed from their sphere of influence.

Norton increasingly felt that the World Government's behavior was exactly the same as the property management in his original world!

We have to pay property management fees every year, but they don't care about anything.

After patiently listening to the rambling of these uncles and elders, the World Conference finally came to an end after a whole morning.

turn out……

Norton had absolutely no involvement!

Aside from the pre-conference gatherings with various nations, during which he met several kings of the New World, that was about it.

The entire world conference lasted seven days.
