Chapter 141: Vol. 05 Ch. 22 – Oaths And Actions
Seeing that all the main characters were ready, Saint Adam walked onto the stage facing the audience in the middle of Arthur, Hancock, Robin, and Monet. Saint Adam had to wait a while for everything to calm down because some were crying with joy, some were calling out the names of the bride and groom, and some were talking alone about wanting to get married like them.
Adam: "We gathered here to unite these couples in marriage. Their decision to marry was not taken lightly and today they declare their devotion to each other whereby they accept each other as a whole, as lovers, companions, and friends of life. It takes a special effort to grow together, endures difficult times, and be loving and unselfish. " Saint Adam stopped for a moment to see Arthur and Hancock where the two of them then stepped one step closer to each other and Baby-5 also went on stage carrying a jewelry box containing the rings.
Adam: "Arthur, Hancock, do you two promise to share your life openly with each other, and to speak the truth in love? Do you promise to respect and gently care for each other, value and encourage one another, stand together, through sadness and joy, hardships and victories throughout the day of your life? "
Arthur + Hancock: "We do." The two of them immediately answered after Saint Adam finished his sentence.
Adam: "May this ring be blessed as a symbol of your unity. Every time you see this ring, may you be reminded not only of this moment but of the vows you have made and the strength of your commitment to one another. " After Saint Adam finished speaking, Baby-5 approached with a jewelry box that contained 3 pairs of rings.
Arthur: "I can't promise I love only you alone. I can't even promise to share my love equally because feelings will never be the same. I also can't promise I will never hurt you, because even the best of intentions fail sometimes. " Arthur paused for a moment to look into Hancock's eyes then took the beautiful ruby ring from Baby-5 and took Hancock's hand.
Arthur: "I also promise to pretend I'm not pissed off when you attack me for no reason or just get annoyed for no apparent reason. But you make me smile every time I think of you. And what I promise is to always make you smile as much as you make me smile, even if it means I have to destroy this world order. This is a small price to pay to live with you. " Arthur smiled as did Hancock then Arthur put the ring on Hancock's finger.
Hancock: "You may sometimes make decisions that are confusing or that I disagree with like you don't want me to have a second Devil Fruit right away or like training too hard to put yourself in danger. But I know that you do these things because you really care about the people you are close to and you are the most thoughtful and considerate person. "Hancock took a ring similar to her finger but the ruby looked smaller and she took Arthur's hand.
Hancock: "Today, I promise to show care and affection for you for the rest of my life. Right now, it's the easiest thing in the world to do because, to be honest, I really love you and want nothing but your happiness, even when things are hard to do, I will always show you the same kind of care and affection. " Hancock placed the ring on Arthur's finger.
Adam: "You two will live in love, share the most precious things with each other. And now I declare you both as husband and wife. "
Hearing Saint Adam's words, the guests cheered and applauded. The two younger sisters present, Marigold and Sonia, both cried with joy to see their older sister fulfill one of her dreams. With this, Hancock officially became the first wife as she always spoke so arrogantly. After a while, the crowd calmed and Hancock retreated to be replaced by Robin who was now facing Arthur. Saint Adam repeated the same questions and got the same answers too. This time it was Arthur and Robin to swear oaths to each other.
Arthur: "I can't promise I love only you alone. I can't even promise to share my love equally because feelings will never be the same. I also can't promise I will never hurt you, because even the best of intentions fail sometimes. " Arthur repeated his sentence while looking into Robin's eyes then took the blue diamond ring from Baby-5 and took Robin's hand.
Arthur: "I promise I will try my best to be worthy of your love. I will always be honest with you, kind, patient, and forgiving. But most importantly, I promise to be true friends and always be with you. I love you." They both smiled and Arthur put the ring on Robin's finger.
Robin: "I see this vow not as a promise but as a privilege. I can laugh with you and cry with you, care for you and share with you. I can walk and run with you, build a family, and live with you. " Robin picked up a ring similar to her finger but the blue diamond looked smaller and took Arthur's hand.
Robin: "If you feel weak, I will fight with you. I will help you with your responsibilities and make your problem be my problem to reduce your burden even little. If you have to carry the burden of the world on your shoulders, I will stand shoulder to shoulder with you. " Robin placed the ring on Arthur's finger.
Adam: "You two will live in love, share the most precious things with each other. And now I declare you both as husband and wife. "
Again, there were cheers and applause after hearing Saint Adam's words from the guests in the audience. Robin's mother, Nico Olivia, smiled softly with a very happy face to see her daughter getting married right before her eyes. If Arthur didn't save her then she thought she wouldn't be able to witness this procession. It took a while longer for the guest to calm down and Robin retreated to be replaced by Monet who was now facing Arthur. Saint Adam repeated the same questions again and got the same answer too. Now is the time for Arthur and Monet to take their oaths to each other.
Arthur: "I can't promise I love only you alone. I can't even promise to share my love equally because feelings will never be the same. I also can't promise I will never hurt you, because even the best of intentions fail sometimes. " The third time Arthur repeated this sentence then took the beautiful green emerald ring from Baby-5 and took Monet's hand.
Arthur: "When we first met, I never imagined this day would come, but now we are here. I love your laughter, your smile, your naughty nature, and the face you make when you tease me. I promise to support you, to respect you, and to love you unconditionally. " Monet smiled naughtily again and Arthur put the ring in Monet's hand.
Monet: "You have brought joy to my life. Thank you for loving me for who I am and for bringing me into your heart. I promise to walk by your side forever and to love, help and encourage you in all that you do. Through all of our life changes, I will always be there for you as a strength in fighting, comfort in sadness, counselor in trouble, and partner in joy. Everything that I have is yours now and forever. This is my promise to you. " Monet took the last ring in Baby-5 and took Arthur's hand.
Monet: "I gave you this ring. Wear it with love and joy. Since this ring has no end, so is my love for you. I chose you to be my husband today and forever. " When this third ring is worn by Arthur, the three rings on Arthur's finger fuse into one ring decorated with three precious stones, red ruby, blue diamond, and green emerald.
Adam: "You two will live in love, share the most precious things with each other. And now I declare you both as husband and wife. Hurry up and go to the room and give me lots of great-grandchildren. Hahaha." Saint Adam laughed out loud as did Maria.
This time without waiting for the room to calm down, Sebas and the other servants had their Seastone net ready and immediately dragged Arthur, Hancock, Robin, and Monet to the room that had been prepared and locked them up. They were unable to do anything because they were unprepared and careless, the four of them also believed that nothing bad would happen. The room of course had Seastone plate in the walls and under the floor, so they couldn't destroy it, not even Monet's abilities could take them away. They thought they could leave because there was a sewer but all failed because Saint Adam and Maria had already ordered Sebas to prepare everything perfectly.
The room was equipped with a large bed, a fridge full of food and drinks enough for one month, and also a bathroom with a year's supply of water. Even though there was actually a time when there was air ventilation which was when the air came in for Monet to use her power but they would ignore it. Because in those 3 nights, Arthur and his three wives were busy except when they were sleeping, eating, and going to the bathroom.
