One Piece: Roar of Justice

On the second day, William, dressed neatly, led Zebra to the outside of St. Innocent's wall early. Inside the wall was the awarding ceremony he had been waiting for for a long time. After this ceremony, he would completely become this A nobleman of the Kingdom of Balegon, his father is also a nobleman, but a nobleman who cannot be smaller. At this point, he has already surpassed his father who does not know where he is now. Education, William has fully adapted to the role of the aristocrat.

The one who greeted him at the door was his old acquaintance, Stuart. Let me tell you here, Stuart is also a small nobleman. As for how young, he is probably on the same level as William's father, a poor man who specializes in running errands for big nobles.

"Mr. William, you are here, please come with me, Bishop Kakulista has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Ok."

William nodded with a smile, and boarded the carriage with Zebra.

Stuart drove to the largest church within the walls of St. Innocent. The Kingdom of Balegon, with the Holy See as the main body, can be said to be full of churches of all sizes. The Innocent in front of William The church, named after the outer walls of the kingdom, is the largest church within the walls of St. Innocent. Various ceremonies and sacrifices will be held here, and it is usually where Kakulista works. But Kakulista is about to leave here and move inside St. Peter's Wall.

William and Zebra got out of the carriage, and from a distance, they saw Kakulista, who was dressed in full dress, greeted him with a smile, and said with a familiar embrace on William's shoulders.

"You're finally here, William, the ceremony is almost ready, and I'm waiting for you."

"I kept you waiting for a long time, Mr. Kakulista, after all, it is such an important ceremony, so I put a lot of thought into dressing up."

William said with a smile.

But Kakulista shook his head and said.

"You should, you should, now you do look more like a nobleman than before."

"You flatter me."

"Come with me."

Kakulista smiled and took William to the side of the church, and he walked onto the stage and clapped his hands at the crowd. The originally noisy audience immediately became quiet, Kakulista They all knew his name, the most powerful cardinal in the walls of Saint Innocent, no one dared to ignore him just because of his name.

Controlling the scene, Kakulista showed a smile on his old face, opened his hands, and said loudly.

"Dear citizens of the Kingdom of Balegon, there have been constant turmoil at sea recently. The sudden rise of the Kingdom of Germa has made the people in the North Sea panic. Our Lord Pope is a wise king. He wants to appease the people and at the same time guarantee the country's security. Consolation, the military expansion policy was urgently proposed. At this time, a warrior of our Kingdom of Balegon volunteered to contribute his own troops and fleet, and was incorporated into the Kingdom's Imperial Guard, which greatly enhanced the Kingdom's military strength. At the same time, it also provides a guarantee for wars that may occur in the future."

"Such a patriotic warrior cannot but be rewarded. Our lord pope is generous and wise. He has never been stingy with rewarding a true righteous man like this warrior. I would like to take this opportunity to convey his message on behalf of lord pope." According to the decree, bestow the title of Viscount William on the warrior!"

"Clap clap clap!!"

As soon as Kakulista finished speaking, he took the lead in applauding on the stage, and there was thunderous applause from the audience. The applause rang for a while, but Kakulista retracted his fists on the stage. Immediately stopped, the smile on Kakulista's face became brighter, he seemed to like this feeling of giving orders, just listen to him.

"Next, we will invite our Viscount William to come on stage and say a few words to everyone."

"Clap clap clap!!"

William walked up to the stage with the applause, and his chest seemed to heave because of the excitement. He first bowed to the citizens in the audience, and then said in a deep voice.

"Thank you all."

The ceremony ended soon. This ceremony was actually just a formality. It was enough to let the people inside the St. Innocent’s Wall get to know William. The next step was the highlight. Just after the awarding ceremony here, Kakulista found William.

Kakulista's mansion inside the walls of St. Innocent, Kakulista said to William while drinking black tea slowly.

"The Pope has agreed to your proposal."

"In a while, you will accompany me to meet the Pope and accept the official canonization. After that, your subordinates will become members of the Royal Guards, and you will also accept them as citizens of the Kingdom of Balegon, and you , will also officially restore your noble status in the Kingdom of Balegon."

Hearing Kakulista's words, even though William was disdainful of his pretentiousness, he showed a look of excitement and joy on his face, nodding repeatedly, as if he couldn't even speak.

Seeing William like this, Kakulista curled his lips inwardly, and continued.

"When you go to see the Pope, remember to restrain your barbaric habits. After all, you have been wandering outside for so long. This problem is more serious. You are about to become a nobleman, and you must have the pomp you deserve. Don't lose it. put us in the face of nobles, and bring us down to the same level as those untouchables outside the walls."

Kakulista said rather arrogantly, he also values ​​the status of a nobleman.

For Kakulista's words, William naturally agreed with his mouth, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart.

In the afternoon, Kakulista brought William and Zebra into the palace. Although William disapproved of the pope who lived in the palace, he still dressed up carefully. At this time, William was wearing a black suit. dress, the middle-length blond hair was waxed and combed back, like an elegant noble boy, even Zebra, who played the role of 'servant', got a decent suit from Kakulista clothing.

Under the leadership of the guards, several people came to the end of the palace, where the pope and the ministers usually discuss their affairs. In the meeting hall, all the cardinals in St. Peter's Wall stood on both sides, and a throne was entrusted to the central throne. Man, it is the pope of this country, Alexander III.

Alexander III looked about 40 years old, with a fair face, a bloated figure, white and tender palms, a slightly behind hairline, a neat mustache on his upper lip, brown eyes that looked a little dull, and dark bags under his eyes because of his skin color The reason is also obvious.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary subjects of the Kingdom of Balegon, this man wearing a crown and sitting high on the throne is full of majesty in every move, but in the eyes of William and Zebra, this is just a man who does not exercise much and has a life style. Just an old man with some problems.

The skin color, body shape, hair color, and beard all prove that Alexander III was pampered, and the hairline, eyes, and bags under the eyes also faintly hinted at his personality.
