Wedding and Becoming King

As Wang Shi and the Princess departed, all the garrison soldiers heaved a deep sigh of relief.

A buzz of discussion quickly rose and hummed through the air.

The title of "Demon Consort" began to spread rapidly among the soldiers.

While these soldiers were busy clearing away the corpses.

The nobles, who ranked just below the Outlook family, received reports and descriptions from their informants.

One by one, they were scared out of their wits, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

They made up their minds that they would absolutely never provoke this demonic butcher.

Otherwise, they would surely follow in the footsteps of the Outlook family and the five hundred garrison soldiers.

In truth, many nobles had already secretly suspected that the beneficiaries, Outlook III and Stelly's family, were behind the mysterious deaths of the King and the Prince.

However, cowed by the power of Outlook III and the betrothal between Stelly and Princess Sally, they dared not act rashly.

But they never expected this.

Tonight, Princess Sally had returned so quickly with a new consort, launching such a cruel and tyrannical war for power.

The high-ranking and triumphant Outlook family had crumbled to dust in an instant.

Had Princess Sally discovered the Outlook family's conspiracy?

One could only say that the ways of the world are fickle!

Some positions, if one lacks the necessary destiny, truly cannot be coveted lightly.

The next day.

Within the royal palace of the Goa Kingdom.

All the nobles and officials were silent as cicadas in winter; the stench of blood inside and outside the palace had not yet fully dissipated.

The sole Princess, Sally Nandcarnet, angrily proclaimed the monstrous crimes of the Outlook family in murdering the King and the Prince.

She sentenced the entire Outlook clan to extermination to the ninth degree.

The night before, the royal garrison had already raided the mansion of Outlook III, seizing countless riches.

After dealing with the Outlook family, Princess Sally officially revealed Wang Shi's existence to everyone, announced his status as her consort-to-be, and declared him the heir to the throne of the Goa Kingdom.

The ministers and nobles in the court who had heard rumors of the previous night's rebellion.

Even if they felt a sliver of resentment toward the suddenly emerged Wang Shi, none dared to step forward and object, fearing they would be slaughtered by the brutal man.

Since even the only Princess had acknowledged Wang Shi.

How could they, mere nobles and officials, dare to raise any objections?

Just like that.

As the morning court session concluded.

Wang Shi had officially completed his transformation from a thug in Terminal Town.

He had become the consort-to-be of the Goa Kingdom and its future King.

Furthermore, under Princess Sally's appointment, Wang Shi also concurrently served as the Commander-in-Chief of both the royal garrison and the royal army, seizing control of the entire nation's military power.

This massive shift in power would likely take the nobles and officials of the Goa Kingdom some time to adapt to.

Night.

The royal bedchamber.

"I wonder if the Princess is willing to share a bed with me tonight?"

"Mmm~"

Two figures walked toward the royal bed, half-reluctant and half-yielding.

"Lord... Wang Shi~"

Princess Sally endured the shockwaves of Wang Shi's love, fulfilling the promise she had made the previous night.

Several hours later.

"Lord Wang Shi, our wedding has been moved up to one week from now."

"Is my hero already so impatient to become King?"

Princess Sally snuggled into Wang Shi's embrace, her pale, slender fingers tracing small circles on his chest.

Her union with Wang Shi was a compromise and a win-win situation of power and strength.

According to the noble etiquette she had been raised with, she certainly would have looked down on a common martial brute like Wang Shi.

But following the successive deaths of her father and brother.

She discovered that a powerful man could actually make her feel so captivated and filled with a sense of security.

She had already fallen in love with this brutal demon.

Perhaps this was one of those grotesque tales of "The Demon and the Princess" found in storybooks.

"I am going to forge the Goa Kingdom into the number one empire in the East Blue!"

"Therefore, time cannot be wasted."

Wang Shi stroked Princess Sally's fair back, the corners of his mouth curling upward.

The spotted plum blossom patterns on the bedsheets were particularly conspicuous.

My friends from Blue Star, I have truly made something of myself.

I am going to marry a princess and become a king!

Go ahead and be envious, jealous, and hateful.

"The number one empire in the East Blue?"

Princess Sally, her face flushed, had eyes that shone brightly.

This was a monumental achievement that even her own father dared not dream of.

Being able to build the Goa Kingdom into the "most beautiful kingdom in the East Blue" and receive a visit and praise from the Celestial Dragons was already the greatest political achievement her father could boast about for a lifetime.

Her father had indeed once mentioned the story of the "King of North Blue," the Germa Kingdom, with a hint of envy.

Many years ago, the King of Germa had used formidable military might to rule the entire North Blue, maintaining his reign for 66 days.

This was the immense glory that the Vinsmoke family took pride in.

The King of Goa had certainly thought about unifying the East Blue and leaving behind a great legend.

But in the end, it was merely a fantasy.

After all, the military strength of the Goa Kingdom was simply too weak.

Their country had produced a powerhouse like the Marine hero, Fist Garp.

But they had absolutely no authority to command this Marine hero.

They even had to rely on Vice Admiral Garp returning to his hometown more often to clear the surrounding seas of pirates and intimidate them.

To keep the Goa Kingdom in a state of peace.

"Do you want to be an imperial empress?"

Wang Shi smiled slightly, his dragon rising, making no effort to conceal his ambition.

At this moment, the look in Princess Sally's eyes as she gazed at Wang Shi was filled with admiration and obsession.

When passion reached its peak, the two began their war once more.

One week later.

The news of the Goa Kingdom's royal wedding and the new consort succeeding to the throne only spread within the East Blue.

Such a trivial matter did not even qualify to be printed in the World Economic News Paper.

Fist Garp, the Marine Vice Admiral and a legendary figure of the Goa Kingdom, did not even return to attend the grand ceremony of the princess's wedding and the new king's coronation.

The invitation sent to Marine Headquarters was directly ignored by Fist Garp.

The invitation sent to Foosha Village was even taken by Straw Hat Luffy and folded into a paper airplane.

Ever since Fire Fist Ace set sail a year ago, Straw Hat Luffy had been coming down from Mt. Colubo to Makino Tavern more and more frequently.

After all, leaving Straw Hat Luffy to train alone on the mountain was indeed a bit too lonely for him to bear.

The current Fire Fist Ace had already made a name for himself on the Grand Line.

His bounty poster had even reached Foosha Village.

This led Straw Hat Luffy to enjoy hanging out at Makino Tavern even more, sponging off food and drink while waiting for newspapers and news about Ace.

The royal capital of the Goa Kingdom.

Every household hung lanterns and colorful banners to welcome their new king.

Amidst the congratulations of countless nobles and officials, Wang Shi held Princess Sally's hand, officially marrying her and ascending the throne.

"Congratulations to the King!"

"Congratulations to the Queen!"

"May the Goa Kingdom prosper and flourish!"

Wang Shi held Queen Sally's hand as he accepted the congratulations from nobles, officials, foreign ambassadors, and the citizens.

I have become a king!

Sitting on the throne, Wang Shi looked down at his subjects below.

To say he wasn't excited would be a lie.

After all, it took him less than two months to go from zero to becoming a king.

Damn, whoever said transmigrating was tough—transmigrating is actually incredibly comfortable.

In a few months, some fresh college graduate laborers might not even have finished their internship period yet.

But Wang Shi had already married a wealthy beauty and reached the pinnacle of the Goa Kingdom.

Transmigration is great; one must transmigrate.

It's just that other worlds offer so many more opportunities.

Big truck services, dump truck services..., let them all get moving.

Seven days later, the grand wedding ceremony and coronation came to an end.

The Goa Kingdom gradually calmed down, returning to its former tranquility.

Between their nightly bouts of intimacy, Wang Shi and Princess Sally gradually took full control of the power within the Goa Kingdom.

However, Wang Shi primarily focused on his cultivation.

He intended to groom Princess Sally into a queen for the ages.

He knew well that power without the backing of strength was nothing more than a castle in the air.

This day.

After Wang Shi finished developing his Devil Fruit ability and his physical training.

Inside the royal administrative office.

"Don't be angry, it's just that Garp didn't show up."

"But Vice Admiral Garp is a hero of the Navy and the face of the Goa Kingdom; his absence makes us lose a lot of face."

"Face is something you earn for yourself, but since Garp didn't give us any face this time, I will 'repay' him well in the future."

"Don't be impulsive, Vice Admiral Garp is not someone to be trifled with."

Wang Shi and Sally were reviewing the guest list and gift records from the wedding and coronation.

Sally held a small grudge against Garp and had noted it down in her little book.
