Chapter 84: 084 Marriage Ceremony, Goodby Fishman Island
On this day, the grand wedding was held as scheduled.
Red silk was flying all over the sky, and flowers decorated the entire hall.
The audience was filled with guests, making the event lively and full of energy.
Lynch held Shirahoshi's hand, and under the guidance of the emcee, the wedding proceeded smoothly.
He glanced at Jinbei in the audience, who gave him a reassuring nod in return.
"Mr. Lynch, do you vow to love, comfort, respect, and protect her, no matter the circumstances—rich or poor, healthy or ill, in good times and bad? Will you remain loyal to her for the rest of your lives?"
The officiant asked, his voice solemn as he presided over the grand wedding.
"I do." Lynch nodded.
"Princess Shirahoshi, are you willing to marry Lynch as your husband and live with him in a sacred marriage? Will you love, comfort, respect, and protect him, through sickness and health, wealth and poverty, beauty and loss? Will you remain loyal to him for the rest of your lives?"
Under the guidance, Shirahoshi blushed deeply and grabbed Lynch's large hand as she softly said, "I do."
Off stage, Princess Otohime wiped away tears, touched by the sight of her daughter in a wedding dress, even though she knew it wasn't real.
Seeing Shirahoshi so happy brought a mix of emotions, as every mother dreams of such a day for her daughter.
The three Prince brothers of Fish-Man Island were quite pleased with the idea of Lynch becoming their brother-in-law.
They believed that having Lynch in the family would ensure they learned real skills and had a powerful backing.
After a series of complicated ceremonies, the wedding ceremony ended.
In front of all the residents of Fish-Man Island, the two were officially declared husband and wife.
Lynch silently grumbled, wondering why those two hadn't shown up yet. He was tired of playing along with this charade.
"Ahhhhhhh!!! How dare you!!!"
Vander Decken IX suddenly emerged from an unknown corner, crazed, and threw several huge javelins.
"This idiot!"
Hody Jones shouted as he followed closely behind. He poured a large amount of Energy Steroid drug into his mouth, causing his muscles to swell significantly.
"Clown, I thought you could hold out longer."
"Finger Gun: Flying Finger Gun!"
Lynch said, raising his hand and using the Marine Six Styles technique to destroy several massive javelins. He followed up with a precise attack that pierced Vander Decken IX's throat.
A question slowly floated over Lynch's head.
This guy is a bit weak.
"Fishman Karate·Nanasenmaigawara Mawashigeri!"
"Fishman Karate·Nanasenmaigawara Mawashigeri!"
Tiger and Jinbei cooperate to release combo skills, and the power is not as simple as one plus one equals two.
Hody Jones was struck twice in the waist, coughing up blood and suffering severe injuries. Two fishmen then pursued him, delivering a brutal final beating.
The farce ends here.
Neptune stood up to calm the crowd and reveal the truth to the people.
"So that's what happened! These two deserved to be killed for daring to assassinate the princess!"
"How dare they poison the King? I'm relieved that they took care of these threats."
"It was a fake marriage. Let me make that clear. Princess Shirahoshi is still so young; how could she have been married?"
…
Neptune finished giving his instructions, and Lynch prepared to leave Fish-Man Island.
Although Neptune wanted Lynch to stay a few more days, Lynch politely declined.
Until before leaving, the three princes failed to persuade Shyarly to leave with him.
Shyarly, on the other hand, took the initiative to find Lynch before he left.
"Mr. Lynch, I saw something in the prophecy. I hope you can promise me two things."
Shyarly, looking very respectful and even putting down the cigarette he had been holding, immediately explained the reason for his visit.
Lynch looked at the mermaid girl in front of him and asked, "If I promise, what do I get in return?"
"I can tell you the coordinates of the Golden Emperor"
The Golden Emperor is a man who claims to control one-fifth of the world's wealth.
To find the Golden Emperor and enter Gran Tezoro, there are only three possible ways after wandering the sea all day.
First, he needs an invitation from the Golden Emperor. Second, he needs friends with life cards on board. Third, it's a matter of luck.
Lynch thought for a moment and said, "I'd like to hear your terms first."
"It should be." Shyarly took off the clothes on her chest, revealing most of the snow, which was turbulent.
She then reached inside and pulled out a bounty poster for Arlong.
"My first condition is that Mr. Lynch show mercy to my brother Arlong if you encounter him in the future."
"Arlong? Your brother?"
Lynch picked up the bounty poster, glanced at the ugly Fishman depicted on it, and then looked at the beautiful mermaid in front of him. They looked nothing alike.
"Yes, he's a half-brother."
"Alright, I promise. What's the second condition?"
To Lynch, Arlong seemed like a younger brother who was worse than any other.
"The second condition is that if Fish-Man Island faces difficulties in the future, I hope you can help us."
Seeing Lynch's hesitation, Shyarly quickly added, "It won't be a big burden. I just need your help as much as you can offer."
"No problem."
Lynch agreed immediately. With Poseidon Shirahoshi on Fish-Man Island, he couldn't ignore any serious trouble that might arise.
"Thank you. If you arrive at this place at this time, you'll be able to see the Golden Emperor."
Shyarly, surprised by Lynch's quick agreement, had been worried he might refuse.
She handed him a small note with the details.
"The only man I can't see through, what is your future?"
Shyarly watched Lynch's retreating figure, her thoughts swirling in her heart.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the task. Tom Cat and Swordsman templates are being distributed...]
[Distribution successful!]
[Would you like to change Tom's job?]
[Yes.]
[Tom Cat is changing jobs...]
[Ding! Job transfer successful!]
[Marine Tom—Swordsman Tom.]
Inside the Marine Base,
Tom, who had been sleeping soundly on his stomach, jumped up with a start.
Seeing his body glowing, he panicked, running around in a frenzy, thinking he was on fire. His eyes bulged in fear.
"Ahhhh!!!"
Tom yelled as he quickly jumped into the sea.
"Guluulu~"
Several bubbles appeared as Tom was chased by a shark, which bit him on the butt underwater.
Tom's tail transformed into a propeller, and he swam faster than the shark.
Anyone witnessing this would be amazed, as no cat can usually outrun a shark in the water.
"Hahahaha! What a silly shark."
Tom, seeing that the shark couldn't catch up, waited for it and made faces as if to challenge it.
The shark, furious, summoned dozens of other sharks using their special language.
Today, the shark was determined to catch this cat!
"!!!"
Seeing the swarm of sharks closing in, Tom couldn't stop laughing.
Panicked, Tom pulled out his flintlock gun to shoot, but found the sharks so cute they seemed to dance around him.
Despite his efforts, he was overwhelmed and torn to pieces by the swarm.
