Chapter 179: Investiture Ceremony

The next morning, Jerry put on his gown under the auspices of Xiao Luo, and at nine o'clock in the morning, Jolia led a group of people to Jerry's annex, and at the back of the procession a beautifully decorated carriage appeared. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jerry got into the carriage with the support of the crowd, and the carriage was driven by Jolia himself, all the way to the central auditorium of the palace, and from the outside to the entrance of the auditorium, a red carpet was spread, and the carpet was lined with uniformed soldiers.

The soldiers each held a spear in their hands, and the spears on the left and right sides crossed together to form a corridor. Jerry solemnly and cautiously walked from the carriage to the auditorium, and every time he passed two soldiers, these two soldiers were very majestic and retracted their spears in front of him, and everyone's movements were all of the same standard, and the scene was extremely shocking.

Walking to the auditorium, the auditorium was full of kings and representatives from all over the world gathered at this time, all observing Jerry's investiture ceremony.

From the entrance of the auditorium, there was a straight walkway leading to the innermost, Jerry walked in slowly, this walkway was at least more than 100 meters long, and every time Jerry took a step, everyone on both sides stood up and applauded.

As Jerry walked to the deepest part of the auditorium, the applause reached the highest level in the audience.

At this time, there are three people standing in front of Jerry, in the center is Joyce Albernice Saint, and on the right is Orlando Willtro Saint, so the person on the left and right should be the prince of the Charles family.

The other two were empty-handed, only the Charles family held a string of dense jade beads in his hand, the beads were shiny and shiny, and the beads were full of colorful golden light, which was a very noble item at a glance.

Joyce Albernissaint pressed her hands down, signaling the audience to be quiet, and the applause immediately stopped.

Joyce Albernice said to everyone present:

"Today is a special day, and after much deliberation, we have decided to confer the title of Viscount on Sparrow D. Jerry, the bounty hunter. ”

The audience applauded thunderously, and when the applause gradually ended, Joyce turned back, and Jerry realized that there was a stone behind him, boxy, about a meter square, with a long sword stuck in the middle of the four pieces.

Albertis drew his sword along with its scabbard, and walked over to the man of the Charles family on his left and right, who took the sword in both hands, and respectfully handed it to Orlando Wiltero.

The Duke of Orlando's appearance at this time seemed to be much younger than Jerry when he first met, at first he was old, Jerry had not seen him, and he had the impression that he was a sturdy middle-aged man.

Looking at him again at this time, getting younger and younger, the Duke of Orlando took the long sword and pulled it out with a "choking", and the double-edged sword looked dazzling and dazzling in the sunlight shining through the skylight, showing its undesecrated sacredness.

The Duke of Orlando put his sword in front of him and said:

"God bless!"

When Jerry heard this, he got down on one knee and hung his head to the ground.

Orlando Wiltero then placed his double-edged sword on Jerry's left shoulder and said:

"I will repay courage with honor, loyalty with love, betrayal with vengeance, and I bear witness that I have made you Sir Sparrow D. Jerry. ”

With that, he lifted the sword from Jerry's left shoulder, and then tapped it lightly on his other shoulder, then put it away and placed it in Joyce Albertis's hand.

Then he went on to put the string of jade beads from the head of the Charles family to Jerry's neck, and said:

"Sir Sparrow, I appoint you as the Knight Protector of the World Government, and your Bounty Guild as the Lord Protector. Stand and salute!"

Jerry glanced at the Duke of Orlando with a little meaning, smiled and stood up calmly.

Finished!

The audience burst into applause, shouts, shouts and shouts one after another.

Jerry turned around and waved to everyone in the room, and the whole auditorium grew louder.

In the crowd, Jerry saw the five members of the Vince Mock family, and from the first row on the right, he saw that Cobra and Vivi were among them.

Suddenly, beside Kobra, he saw a blonde man in a red feather sweater and a pair of burgundy sunglasses, who stood out from the crowd and looked so unique.

"Don Quixote Doflamingo!"

Jerry recognized this person at a glance, but he didn't expect to be present at this ceremony.

Jerry didn't make eye contact with him, swept away, and then looked elsewhere.

Turning back to thank the three family leaders, he saw that the Duke of Orlando seemed to be looking at someone in the audience, and the sensitive Jerry felt that something was wrong, and he followed his eyes to find that he actually seemed to be communicating with Doflamingo.

"They, what secrets do they have between them?"

After the ceremony, the whole ceremony becomes a reception-like scene, with all kinds of delicious food and wine being pushed in from outside the auditorium, and the aisles around the auditorium are filled with fine wines.

Albertis St. said to Jerry:

"Let's go, let's go and toast everyone present with a glass of wine. ”

Jerry nodded, followed behind, took a glass full of red wine, held it high above his head, and said in a loud voice:

"Thank you for coming, and I would like to give you a drink. ”

At this time, almost everyone in the audience got the wine glasses, and after Jerry drank it, they also drank the wine in the glasses, and for a while, the cheers filled the entire auditorium.

The rest of the time is free time, Jerry is almost the absolute protagonist in the scene, the kings of various countries and the kings of the Red Earth Continent are toasting him, and he is very busy.

Suddenly, a sweet voice came from behind him,

"Congratulations to Sir Sparrow on his successful knighthood. ”

Jerry felt the voice familiar, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Vivi and Kobra standing behind him, and Jerry held up his glass and said thank you, and took a sip.

Vivi and Kobra also took a small sip symbolically, and Vivi suddenly whispered:

"I'll stay with my father in Mary Joya for a few more days. ”

The sound was very small, and the scene was noisy, and if you didn't listen deliberately, others wouldn't pay attention to what Wei Wei said.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of others, Kobra and Vivi toasted and went somewhere else, and Jerry was about to go with them when he heard a crisp and deep voice,

"Sir Sparrow, congratulations!"

Jerry jerked his head back and saw that it was Doflamingo looking at him with a smile on his face.

Seeing him and the Duke of Orlando making eye contact just now, Jerry was still secretly thinking about what secrets these two people would have, and now he suddenly appeared in front of him, so it was better to test him, and immediately said:

"It's the king of Dressrosa, thank you for coming. ”

When he was still in Rogue Town, Doflamingo once sent Monet to woo Jerry, but he didn't expect to be rejected by him, and what surprised him even more was that he was said to have revealed Virgo's true identity, which made him sit on pins and needles all the time.

He didn't know how Jerry knew Virgo's identity, but he could already guess from the time he refused his invitation that Jerry was definitely not the same as himself.
