The Wedding Begins, All Nations Pay Homage

Red Line

It was the same city beneath the mainland that specifically received guests, responsible for transporting people and supplies to Mary Geoise via the 'Bubble Cable Car'. And it was the same dock teeming with reporters from all sides, with even the 'Big News' Morgans brazenly appearing on the scene. Because:

"A wedding that spans the globe!"

"All nations, all races, even pirate-established forces must be present. Otherwise, they will face death and extermination of their clan... What an overbearing invitation."

"Who says otherwise?"

Journalists in this world all possess a fearless and reckless heart; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to do this job. After all, many of their interviewees are pirates who would attack reporters at the slightest provocation, yet they only dare to whisper these 'outrageous' words among their colleagues.

"Fortunately, the Reverie had just ended, and most countries were able to arrive in time."

Of course, this only applies to the 'majority'.

As for those countries that are too far away or lack information access and therefore unable to attend...

The outcome might not be so pleasant.

After all, one of the people getting married today is that legendary God of the Celestial Dragons!

Her appearance also dispelled the doubts of the world's middle-class elites about why the Celestial Dragons could act so arrogantly.

Ordinary people at the bottom only know that the Celestial Dragons are protected by the Navy, while those at the top know that behind Celestial Dragons stands an unparalleled warrior. Only the elites in the middle wondered why the Navy would willingly serve as the Celestial Dragons' lackeys, but now they completely understand!

Immortality, the ruler of the World Government, an invincible being for eight hundred years—

Compared to this earth-shattering, super-super-super- Big News, Luffy's coronation as the King of the Pirates seems insignificant.

"Look, those are... samurai from Wano Country?"

A group of people in flowing robes and wooden clogs, with samurai swords at their waists, disembarked. Leading them was a tall woman dressed in a white-topped, red-bottomed kimono, with a huge Shimenawa tied around her waist. She had two horns on her head, wore a hannya mask, and carried a long, thin spiked club on her back...

"Such a powerful aura! It's like a demon or monster!"

"This must be the leader of the 'New Beasts Pirates' who seized power by killing his father, right? Kaido..."

Behind the fully armed Yamato, a man wrapped in bandages glanced at the densely packed 'outer sea people' of varying heights and races around him.

"Brother, is this really okay for us?"

While carrying the bow and Melody, he excitedly looked around and asked questions in a low voice.

"Our ancestral teachings are..."

"This is the commander-in-chief's order: our 'mission' is over, and from now on we can live the lives we want."

"Then we shouldn't have come at all."

General Liao, clad in golden armor and wielding a silver spear, remained as calm and composed as ever.

"Vice Commander, you can't possibly be unaware of the terrifying power here? It's practically teeming with powerful individuals..."

But so many powerful figures, all here to celebrate a 'newlywed' wedding? This place is practically a den of dragons and tigers; the Bad People have no reason to...

"Putting aside the fact that today is the Commander-in-Chief's wedding, do you really think we're safe just by hiding in Wano Country?"

If the Bandaged Vice Commander hadn't been organizing the treasure manual in the underground Seastone room, he might have been affected too! After discovering that everyone else's memories were distorted, he used the 'Page of Restoration' from the treasure manual to restore everyone's memories, and then:

"No matter what, this wedding was too bizarre."

It's best to observe it up close...

"What are those?!"

"My God, it's like a giant transport ship from the United Fleet..."

However, what slowly sailed in like an island was not some high-tech marvel, but a 'Viking Longship' that looked similar to a canoe.

"Hahaha!!"

The thunderous sound caused surrounding ships to instinctively move away from the other vessel, partly due to its massive size, and partly because:

"So many Tontatta!!"

Amidst the same howling wind, a group of giants stood on a long, upturned ship, looking around. Their average height of 20 meters stood before normal humans, who averaged less than 2 meters... calling humans 'Tontatta' was merely an instinctive reaction.

"Even the Giant Kingdom of Elbaf has sent people!"

"The one leading them must be their 'prince' Loki, right?"

"My lords, please watch your step."

Stepping atop the simple yet rugged 'Giant's Glory,' Vice Admiral John, a giant of the navy, clad in a magnificent navy coat and his chest adorned with medals, turned and made a proposal to his comrades, who were clad in leather armor and armed to the teeth, looking every bit the 'pirate.'

"If possible, please provide the weapon..."

"Hahaha!! Joe, you've only been in Elbaf for a short time, and you've already forgotten our traditions?"

"Only death can take away our weapons!!"

"My current name is John,"

Vice Admiral John rolled his eyes in exasperation. As Giant race who had served in the Navy for decades, his habits had long since become 'Navy-like'. To expect him to go back to a primitive lifestyle, spending his days fighting and drinking like a fool, was simply...

"Don't worry, John."

Prince Loki, as the leader, is a rare 'enlightened person' in Elbaf.

"We are well aware of that person's strength and won't cause trouble at her wedding. After all—"

That guy truly possesses the power to destroy the world!

"Neo, my Lord God, the clothes..."

"Leave it there, I'll wear it myself."

Faced with Roman standing motionless by the window, the tailor and maids were all stiff and unsure whether to advance or retreat. After all, it was their duty to help the 'groom' change clothes; if they weren't needed—

Then aren't they useless?

And the consequences of being useless...

"Come over!"

Splash splash~~

As the clothes on his body turned into white paper and spread out, Roman, who appeared with the character "", let a group of people busy around him, and his eyes fell through the wall below.

At this moment, in the Holy Land Mary Geoise, the wedding had already begun.

The absurd automated sermons had been removed by Roman on the grounds of "I don't like it," so instead, a series of luxurious carriages were used to transport royalty and powerful figures to the Holy Land, where they filed into the square in front of the Power Building in the blink of an eye, thanks to the blink of Camera Den Den Mushi) from the newspaper office.

Meanwhile, large Live Broadcast Den Den Mushi) around the area transmit images to all parts of the ocean, ensuring that the wedding will be watched by the world!

"This is many times more outrageous than the Marineford War two years ago..."

The glamorous royalty, fully armed pirates, and guards will first pass through a beautiful archway and a long corridor made of small fountains, sculptures, and flowers. They will then show their invitations to the waiting guides and be led to a central plaza with a huge white roof. Their seats at round tables covered with beautiful tablecloths have been marked according to their country and power.

This····

With a casual glance, Roman spotted a large number of familiar faces in the crowd, and each of the royals was accompanied by a group of powerful individuals! The level was even higher than when he attended the Reverie!

Judging from their aura alone, many of them were at the level of Four Emperors executives, or even high-ranking executives! Some even gave Roman a sense of threat; those were clearly strongmen approaching the level of Admiral.

As expected, this world is full of hidden talents. The fact that the Navy was able to recruit two Admiral in a single "major recruitment" means that there are definitely no fewer hidden powerhouses than that number.

This would probably be enough to wipe out the entire navy, right?

It's called a wedding, but it feels more extravagant than the "World Martial Arts Tournament"...

The only good news is that the wedding looked relatively 'normal', without any major mishaps.

As the maids and tailors withdrew, Roman glanced at the mirror beside him, where he saw a dashing man. He wore a pure white suit, adorned with intricate lace at the cuffs and chest. The dragon emblem hanging from a gold ribbon on his chest was a few subtle decorations, understated yet luxurious, leaving Roman with no room for criticism.

Although the wedding has not officially started yet, the square is already full of people.

At the front was a group of Celestial Dragons dressed in white robes and wearing 'fishbowl' hats. Although they were extremely unhappy about sitting with these 'commoners,' how could these so-called 'Celestial Dragons' dare to utter a single word in front of Imu, whom even the Five Elders had to bow to?

Behind the Celestial Dragons, half are the top fifty Affiliated Nation states, all of which possess formidable strength; the other half are various powerful figures at sea, including the 'Big News' Morgans; this group can be considered the mid-to-high-level fighting force of this world.

Further back were various weak nations in need of naval protection, and representatives of all sorts of strangely shaped races. —Of course, the Giant race sitting in the very center of this group weren't there because they were weak, but rather because if they sat in the front, the others wouldn't be able to see anything.

Back of their heads? No way. Anyone who can see their buttocks is considered a cut above the rest.

Around the square stood a large band, ready to play when needed! Behind the band were rows of navy officers clad in their Justice Coat; only colonels were qualified to stand guard here, even Vice Admiral had no seats, only Admiral were entitled to sit. If there was anything in common:

That is, everyone wore a flower on their left breast, even the Giant race's armor had them, it looked...

It has a rather festive feel to it?

Before them, surrounded by the protection of all nations and the submission of all races, stood a magnificent church with walls of white jade and outlines of gold—undoubtedly the place where the 'newlyweds' would soon take their vows.

The bands around the square hadn't started playing yet, so the guests could only wait silently in their seats or chat quietly with those around them. Even the Giant race' representatives at the back sat upright.

Although there's fine wine on the table and delicious food at hand, who has the time to eat and drink at this moment? The person getting married is an invincible figure who has dominated the world for eight hundred years! How could the person sent as a representative possibly be impolite...?

Chew! Chew! Chew!

In the midst of this serious atmosphere, an undisguised chewing sound drew everyone's attention! The sound came from a circle of 'Totland' Charlotte Family with stern faces, as if the person who was feasting had nothing to do with them.

Fortunately:

"Time is almost up."

As Roman, dressed in a white formal suit, made his entrance, Garp, who was playing the role of 'priest', cleared his throat and began his long speech.

"Today I am honored to be here... blah blah blah..."

Roman, one of the main characters, looked a little lost, feeling a bit wistful and helpless. He never expected to be forced into marriage one day!

This is truly embarrassing.

Others travel far and wide to abduct beautiful women, but here I am, being abducted by a beautiful woman? Is this a loss of humanity, or a decline in morality...?

As soon as Garp finished his speech, a grand wedding march immediately filled the air, and countless white doves took flight. —These were not Roman's creations, but real, living beings. And within this peaceful scene:

"Lord Imu has arrived!!!"

At the shouts of the Five Elders, who were acting as the emcees, everyone in the entire wedding plaza immediately knelt on one knee! And the World's Strongest person finally made his slow entrance:

A white wedding dress, pure as snow, and long sky-blue hair flowing like ocean waves, made her appear as a delicate and beautiful woman walking gracefully toward Roman. Behind her, flower girls and ring bearers in matching gowns held up her long train, as if she were walking down from the clouds.

Imu,

"Today we gather in the Holy Land Mary Geoise for the sacred wedding of Lord Neo and Lord Imu, the Celestial Dragons God, the Lord of the Four Seas, the Creator of the World (a title exceeding five hundred words)..."

Roman gazed at the shy, downcast face beneath the veil, and had to admit her beauty; Garp's Sound-Sound fainter and fainter in his ears.

Will you marry me someday?

'Huh? Don't be ridiculous, the sea is turbulent, how can one find a home!'

"Cough!"

Garp's cough brought Roman back to his senses.

"I·····"

When the moment came, Roman found himself unable to utter those three words.

However, seeing Imu's eyes gradually narrowing, Roman helplessly shrugged his shoulders.

"Willing--"

"I don't want to!!!"

???

P. S.: Writing about the wedding... I'm so tired of it, I'll just leave it at that... (looking up at the sky)
