Sky Island.
"Lynch-sama, today is another beautiful day."
On the shore of the sea of clouds, a girl with golden hair sat, her little snow-white wings behind her as light as an angel.
Conis played the harp alone on Angel Coast, a faint smile on her gentle face as the harp's beautiful notes lingered in the air.
God Enel has changed for the better since God Lynch came to Sky Island.
The residents on Sky Island live a prosperous life and no longer have to live in fear every day.
The residents of Sky Island are grateful for the stability Mr. Lynch has brought, and even the former resistance forces have disappeared.
Everyone now has enough food and clothing, and they no longer worry about survival. This was a life they never dared to imagine before.
All of this is thanks to Mr. Lynch.
The only drawback is the occasional ghostly howls from the sky above Sky Island, causing some people to have nightmares.
"Ahhhhhh!!! Enel, you've electrocuted me to death!!!" a pig-like scream echoed from the sky.
Conis's hand trembled on the harp. There was that awful sound again...
Higher up on Sky Island
Moria was struck by Enel's lightning, leaving his entire body charred black.
The afro on his head suggested this wasn't the first time he'd been electrocuted.
Since that day, when Lynch helped Moria regain his lost spirit, he had come to Sky Island to train and grow alongside Enel.
"Tch~ You're still terrible at Observation Haki, fat guy. You didn't even sense this God sneak attack."
After Lynch's severe beating last time, Enel usually refrains from calling himself a god. He only does it when he's feeling proud.
"You really think anyone's Observation Haki can match your crazy skills?"
Moria suddenly appeared behind Enel using a shadow bat he had set up earlier. Enel quickly shifted into his elemental form to dodge the attack and struck Moria with a 30 Million Volt Thunder Beast.
The thunder dispersed, and Moria walked out of it intact.
"Shishishishishi~ But when it comes to Armament Haki, you still have a lot to learn from me."
Moria, his entire body covered in Armament Haki, said proudly, "Check out my big, black Armament Haki—this is the mark of a real man!"
His eight-pack abs gleamed, and the fat Moria of the past was gone forever.
As rivals, Enel and Moria's strength on Sky Island has steadily grown.
Looking next to them is an ark that has been mostly built.
…
At Marine Headquarters, Sengoku was feeding the goats and said calmly, "Ask for leave? You've only been an Admiral for two months. Why do you need time off?"
"To get married."
Lynch's eyes showed rare tenderness. "Hina is 23 now, and Sister Gion isn't young either. They've followed me silently for years, giving everything without asking for anything in return. I think it's time I make it up to them."
"Okay, I understand,"
Sengoku agreed readily. He appreciated this kind of man who took responsibility and showed a bit of the youthful spirit he once had.
Sengoku reached under the table and pulled out a wad of money. "I might not be able to attend your wedding, so here's a gift of 200,000 beli."
"Garp and Zephyr will definitely be there when the time comes."
"Thank you."
After returning to the West Blue, Lynch began planning the wedding on a national scale.
There are three brides: Hina, Gion, and Robin.
Since they only have one wedding in their lives, Lynch wanted to make it the best experience possible for them.
One month in advance, invitations were sent to all the royal nobles in West Blue, and the renowned West Blue newspaper was invited to cover the unprecedented grand wedding across the region.
Even before the wedding began, big newspapers had already started publicizing it throughout West Blue.
[King's Wedding—West Blue Celebrates Together.]
[Unprecedented Wedding—Admiral Sun Candle's National Celebration in One Month.]
[If You're Marrying, Marry a Good Man—Mr. Lynch.]
Given Lynch's current status in West Blue, the excitement and buzz are huge.
In just a few days, the wedding became widely known, and even a three-year-old child knew that a big shot was getting married.
Even this wedding caused quite a stir in the other three sea areas and the Grand Line.
As an Admiral and a dominant figure in West Blue, Lynch naturally drew a lot of attention.
His wedding quickly became the month's hot topic, with countless women envious of the brides.
There aren't many men who are as handsome, gentle, and strong as Lynch.
He's the perfect prince charming in their eyes. They wish they could marry him too.
In this regard, the famous Fleet Admiral Sengoku once said, "If there are ten good men in the world: he and Lynch are worth eight."
In response, Sengoku's old friends, Vice Admiral Tsuru and Garp, commented that this old guy had become shameless again.
In the blink of an eye, Lynch's wedding day arrived.
The entire kingdom was draped in festive red silk and satin, decorated with lanterns, and the whole country was filled with joy.
Each and every citizen congratulated the newlyweds from the bottom of their hearts and pasted red happy words on their doors.
Welcoming a holy king was a rare and special occasion.
When their Holy King got married, all the citizens who could attend went, and those who couldn't celebrate spontaneously.
The entire West Blue was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Even the pirates who had been raiding West Blue all day agreed to take a break and avoided robbing ships.
They knew better than to cause trouble on such a day.
If they angered the Admiral, their lives wouldn't be worth much.
Wedding scene.
The kingdom built a city specifically to serve the king's wedding.
Bright flowers floated across the sky, and a vivid red carpet stretched from the city gate to the wedding site.
The carpet was adorned with carved dragons and painted phoenixes, creating a scene of luxury and joy.
The deep-sea luminous pearls that are rarely seen outside are randomly placed here as decorations, and the tables and chairs used are all priceless.
Picking out any item at random would be enough for an ordinary person to spend a lifetime.
With some time left before the guests arrived, 18-year-old girls in elegant clothing were busy arranging the scene like butterflies.
There were also some people who arrived at the scene early.
Most of the early arrivals were nobles from the West Blue palace. They lived under the constant shadow of the King, fearing that one day they will be attacked by the Kings army at their doorstep when they woke up.
Therefore, they preferred to arrive early and endure the wait rather than keep Lynch waiting.
They were satisfied with gaining a bit of favor from the great emperor.
However, one person among them stood out as different from the palace nobles.
"Who is that person? He doesn't seem to be from West Blue"
"I don't know; he looks weird."
The royal family looked at the figure sitting alone in the corner and began discussing him.
