Happy times always flew by. After spending three days having fun on Sky Island, the three of them had to return to Oran Island to entertain their guests. Any further outings would have to wait until after the banquet.
They also had to make all the necessary arrangements in advance. After all, they might spend several months traveling and have no way to handle Oran Island's affairs.
All three of them now held important positions, and Oran Island was no ordinary pirate territory. They certainly could not just leave for that long.
When they returned to Oran Island, the Division Commanders who were close to Lind-Whitebeard, Golden Lion, and Charlotte Linlin-had already arrived.
Their gifts had arrived with them.
"Gurararara! Congratulations, Lind! Happy wedding! Here's a gift I prepared especially for you."
"I know you like collecting devil fruits, so I picked this out of my personal collection. In return for the gift, you'd better let me drink my fill of Oran Island's fine liquor."
Laughing heartily, Whitebeard took out a small box and handed it to Lind.
Across the entire world, no one made a bigger splash or spent more money buying devil fruits than Lind.
Every so often, he would place an advertisement in the World Economy News Paper offering to buy devil fruits.
There were hardly any people in the world who did not know that a great pirate named Lind in the New World loved collecting devil fruits and paid especially well for them.
"Hahaha! Then thank you, Newgate, my friend. Drink as much as you like over the next few days. We've got every kind of liquor, and plenty of it."
Lind accepted Whitebeard's gift with a smile. Although he did not open it, anything Whitebeard chose to give him was bound to be good.
