279. Royal Wedding

Jon's & Vivi's wedding finally starts and it is watched by everyone in Alabasta through broadcast. They see Jon enter the room wearing a black suit with gold accents. His appearance is very stunning and catches every woman's heart.

He is followed by the men of Straw Hat Pirates that act as the groom's men. They also wear black suits but they look more like mafia members instead. Well, they are pirates, Pirate King crew members at that, so they will look intimidating no matter what they wear.

Soon after that, the bride finally enters the room with her father and the bride's maids. Needless to say, Vivi also looks very stunning in her dress. Jon even forgot to breathe when he sees Vivi in her white dress.

The ceremony runs without any problem. Well, no one dares to make trouble in the Strongest Man's wedding. Everyone still loves their lives, after all. Jon will surely kill anyone who dares to ruin this very important moment of his life.

With everyone as the witness, Jon & Vivi finally become husband & wife. King Cobra may be the happiest of all instead if Jon & Vivi themselves. He laughs happily while shouting he will finally have some grandkids soon.

At the end of the ceremony, Jon & Vivi are going up the stage so everyone can see them and they will throw some flower bouquets. Just 1 bouquet isn't enough for them, so they throw 12 which represents the 12 years since they met. The King, Queen, and Prince also join them on the stage.

Jon & Vivi throw the flowers together and some people catch them. One of them is Koala who gets very happy while looking at Sabo who can only force his smile. He still doesn't want to get married even though he is older than Jon.

Anyway, the wedding party continues after the ceremony. The party is so big that it can be said to be a festival. They make a party in every town in Alabasta too, so it really is a Grand Festival and everyone in the Kingdom can enjoy it.

The festival lasts for a week and many of the guests stay in Alabasta during the festival. Jon & Vivi also spend their time with their friends during the festival. But because of that, they don't have much time to spend together.

Still, they received a lot of gifts from people, so they need to show appreciation. They will have all the time to be together later after this whole thing ends anyway. So for now, they need to do their duty as hosts and take care of their guests.

This festival is also used by some groups to deepen their relationships with Alabasta. They try to make some deals on many sectors. But there are also groups that try to harm the Kingdom, so Jon dispatched the ninjas to every corner of the Kingdom to take care of this.

Not only ninjas, Jon also sent White Zetsu and many of his clones to keep Alabasta safe during this period. After all, this is such a good chance for enemies to infiltrate the Kingdom because everyone's focus is on the wedding.

With Jon's clones, White Zetsu, and Sand Village Ninjas, no one is able to make trouble. There are some infiltrators that try to cause some harm to the Kingdom, but they all have been defeated before they could even make a move.

Sometime after the wedding, Jon & Vivi leave the Kingdom to go on a honeymoon. As a couple that loves adventure, they choose to go to exciting places. The place they chose is quite unusual because they chose to go to the sky.

It's been a long time since Jon went to Sky Islands and Vivi never went there. So it's the perfect place to choose because there must be so many new things they haven't seen on Sky Islands.

Jon can take them there without any vehicle, but they still choose to use a ship. They are sailors, so they feel it's only right for them to use a ship as a transportation. A journey to the sky on a ship is also more exciting than just flying with susanoo.

They don't go with other people though. It's just the 2 of them. Jon doesn't even take White Zetsu with him. So Jon is using his clones to control the ship. He does everything from navigating to helming the ship.

They visit a few Sky Islands and Jon is very glad there is no need to fight a self-proclaimed God or something like that. Although they meet some sky pirates that try to rob them. But everything was solved with some 'talk' using their fists.

They want to keep exploring the Sky Islands, but they need to stop after a month. There are still many Sky Islands they want to visit, but they need to go back to Alabasta because they still have a lot of work to do.

Jon is now officially the leader of Sand Hidden Village that's titled as Kazekage which has the same rank as the Army's highest-ranked General. Though truthfully his rank is just right below the King because not only is he a general, he is also a Royalty now.

Under Jon's leadership, the Sand Hidden Village is growing rapidly. The village's growth also benefits the Kingdom because they don't just give the Kingdom powerful soldiers, but also a lot of useful information they gathered from all over the world.

Slowly, Jon is planting his ninjas to numerous places in the world. They spread all over the world to collect information and do other illegal businesses that the Kingdom can't do openly. All Nations always have some businesses they can't do openly, and it's the Hidden Village's job to do that for Alabasta.

Not only that, the ninjas are recruiting people from all over the world. They are taking orphans to be trained as ninjas because they need a variety of people to do jobs in different places. It will be easier to have people that originated from that place to do jobs there after all.

But because they are taking orphan children, they can't get a great result in a short time. It will take a few years to make these children ready. It's not a problem though because they are now building the foundation and it needs to be strong.

Besides, Jon has another thing to worry about right now. Vivi is about to give birth after 3 years of marriage. Cobra who kept pestering them to quickly give him a grandchild is trying to calm Jon, but he himself is also worried.

The Straw Hat Pirates are also there and they are just as nervous as Jon. They will finally get a nephew or a niece now, so they are very excited and nervous at the same time. All of them are also inexpeienced about this, so they can't say anything to calm Jon.

After waiting for a while in front of the room, they finally hear a baby's crying sound. Jon wants to rush in, but he knows he can't do that, so he waits for Chopper to call him. It doesn't take long for him to be called, so he quickly gets inside.

"Congratulations, Jon, it's a healthy baby girl."

Jon looks at the small baby girl in Vivi's hands. She has black hair like him while her facial features are very similar to Vivi. But Jon is surprised when he sees his little girl's eyes. He sees unusual chakra flow in her eyes which makes him frown.

'Kurama, do you have any idea about this?'

'No clue. Maybe you should ask the God that sent you here.'

'How? It's not like I have his contact number or something.'

'Try to ask your sister later. She might know something.'

'Alright.'

Jon is very happy to finally have a daughter, so he wants to make sure that she will be fine.
