In a time of great upheaval in the New World.
The East Sea Goa Empire welcomed their great hero emperor.
With the appearance of the two airships, countless citizens and nobles were engulfed in cheers.
"Your Majesty, if you don't appear soon, the people will go crazy!"
Reiju had already changed into her royal attire and walked with a smile toward Wang Shi, who was leisurely looking at the latest information about the New World.
The other women were already dressed in their finest attire, and they stood on the deck, gazing at the countless merchant ships, warships, and densely packed crowds in the distance, each one filled with immense excitement.
Even the Baron were dressed in Imperial uniforms, with Imperial medals pinned to their chests, and their hair styled neatly.
They all put on sunglasses to avoid being seen by the public with their equally excited eyes, in order to maintain a sense of mystery and authority.
"Waaaah~ I'm so touched! Back then, I was just a gangster in Loguetown..."
"It was His Majesty who gave me the opportunity to become a great hero respected and warmly welcomed by everyone!"
Bartolomeo took off his sunglasses, grabbed a handkerchief, and vigorously wiped away his tears of emotion. The Imperial Earl Medal on his chest gleamed brightly.
"I never expected a pirate like me to receive such treatment!"
The former pirate El Drago was equally shocked and excited, tears welling up in his eyes.
Below, there are countless ships and civilians, numbering probably in the millions.
"We were just small-time bounty hunters back then..."
Eric's eyes reddened, and his nose stung as he looked at his still calm colleague, Van Augur.
Bill Marquess was equally moved, realizing that the Goa Empire's Martial Merit Idol Group had now become a world-class group of heroes and idols.
"Hahaha!! I love this feeling of being the center of attention!"
"Goa, your Champion Marquis returned!!"
Burgess shouted excitedly, waving his big hands from the railing.
In the Goa Imperial Capital, the Wang Shi had already instructed Empress Sally to produce many support portraits, photos, and flyers.
The titles, ranks, and battle achievements of each Baron were printed on it.
It's even more perfect than the personal photobook of world-renowned singer Uta.
"I saw it! I saw it!"
"It's a portrait of me, the Grand Duke!!"
Aramaki screamed wildly as he saw the enormous portrait hanging on the walls of the Goa Imperial Palace, bearing titles such Duke of Impalement," " Admiral Ryokugyu," and " Spear of Goa."
He was so overwhelmed by the surprise he received from His Wang Shi and Empress Sally that he almost fainted.
"What?! What?!"
"I saw it too! Hero of the East Blue! Shield of Goa! Earl of Barrier...! Waaah, I'm so moved!"
"Your Majesty is my eternal god!!"
Bartolomeo and Aramaki actually hugged each other, laughing and crying excitedly.
"That's so cool!!"
Bonney, now in adult form and made up, looked on with envy at Baron Goa's heroic treatment.
She also longed to become an Imperial Baron.
Dezaya's sister looks so handsome in her Viscount uniform!
"Was this really necessary? But how about this surprise?"
At this moment, Wang Shi, dressed in the emperor's military uniform, slowly walked out, smiling as he looked at Aramaki and his subordinates, Bartolomeo and Burgess, who were extremely obsessed with fame.
"Your Majesty, I will never forget the surprise you prepared for me."
Bartolomeo, as soft as a noodle, turned toward the Wang Shi with shining eyes.
"I felt endless love and hope!"
The warmth, hope, and fervent love he felt from these people made him realize that he had truly chosen the right path.
The East Blue ushered in an unprecedented peace, and even the Four Blues became more peaceful because of the Wang Shi's existence.
"This is paradise!"
Spaden, from the chaotic island, suddenly wiped away a tear. He saw the little guys from Belili Village waving his support portrait and title flags wildly.
These little guys are all very healthy and strong.
"Boring!"
Enel sneered, but still quietly found his giant portrait and even activated his Mantra to monitor the small number of 'fans' who were shouting "Lord Thor" and "Lord Enel".
"I never imagined that someone would support a notorious, Demon Sheriff like me."
Laffitte carefully straightened his Earl's uniform, a pale smile appearing on his face.
Capone Bege was chewing on a cigar, seemingly lost in thought, but a smile played on her lips.
He even opened the small doors of the castle on his body, letting the prisoners inside witness what it meant to be loved by the entire nation.
Even Benn Beckman was deeply shocked and fell into a deep silence.
"Zoro! Can you see them over there? It's the teacher and the others!"
The silver-haired Saka pointed at Zoro, then at the cheering crowd in a corner, and shouted excitedly in a low voice.
"Nami, it's Genzo and the others!"
Nojiko also saw the large number of villagers from Cocoyasi Village, excitedly waving large, beautiful posters of Nojiko and Nami.
"Hehe, they're quite sensible!"
"I'll give each of them a big red envelope then."
The wealthy woman Nami, forced a calm smile, but the flush on her face couldn't hide her excitement.
"This welcoming ceremony was truly grand..."
Maya and Kaya were visibly shaken; they had never witnessed such a grand event before.
"Is this the most beautiful country in the world?"
The pet Pato, stood excitedly on the railing, its big eyes sparkling.
"Your Majesty, this prosperous era is exactly as you wished..."
Like Vivi and Baby5, the two imperial Reiju, stayed by Wang Shi's side, trying their best to appear calm and dignified.
···
On the high walls of the royal palace in the Goa Imperial Capital.
World-renowned singer Uta stood behind Empress Sally and unintentionally ended up standing with a group of imperial concubines and consorts.
She was deeply moved by the grand welcome she received, which far exceeded the scale of her own concert.
In the eyes of people all over the world, Wang Shi is a great hero.
The Shanks member that Uta wanted to save was actually an evil pirate whom everyone hated and despised.
At this moment, Uta suddenly didn't want to save Benn Beckman and the others anymore.
If Uncle Benn Beckman and the others had all become Baron under His Wang Shi, and become beloved heroes, how wonderful that would be...
"This is the Uta's World I imagined, the utopian world I wanted..."
Uta looked at the excited and cheering people and murmured softly. She was becoming more and more interested in the hero-emperor Wang Shi.
Empress Sally stood alone at the front, her face filled with excitement and anticipation as she anxiously awaited the triumphant return of her beloved hero.
As the two airships drew closer, the cheers from the entire Goa Imperial Capital and all the people on the nearby ships grew increasingly intense and boisterous, almost reaching the heavens and the earth.
Amidst the excited gazes of everyone.
A series of resounding bell tolls, capable of soothing the hearts of the people, gradually calming the millions of citizens down.
A colossal divine dragon flew out from the Exile Emperor. Wang Shi stood atop the dragon's head, his pristine white Imperial Platinum uniform making Wang Shi appear like a god descending to earth, radiating a faint, divine light.
"The Goa Empire! Your emperor has returned!!"
