Cobra was naturally ashamed to mention that he had become Four Emperors Big Mom's personal pet.

Especially in front of that little brat, Ma Qiao.

Cobra wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Fortunately, his location provided an opportunity.

But now, the already mentally unstable Big Mom has gone completely insane due to her Hunger Pangs, and no matter how much Cobra tries to play dead, he can't keep up the act anymore.

At this moment, he could no longer care about his dignity as the king of a world power.

Even his frail, elderly body, which, according to the original plot, would be terminally ill in three years, surprisingly roused itself.

Cobra yelled and screamed at the top of his lungs, his will to survive taking over.

But how can you so easily stop a middle- Big Mom from indulging in Hunger Pangs?

As she stepped down, she became increasingly frenzied after discovering that Katakuri had vanished into thin air. Like a Godzilla in human skin, she wreaked havoc all over Whole Cake Island, stuffing everything in her sight, whether bricks, tiles, flowers, or trees, into her mouth.

"Cobra, don't make a sound, it'll be bad if the Big Mom finds out!"

Fortunately, Ma Qiao reminded him in time, Cobra quickly covered his mouth, not daring to make a sound.

Although he hadn't witnessed it firsthand, Cobra had heard that people with Hunger Pangs would eat anything when they had an attack, even... people...

At this point, the Big Mom's children were plunged into despair.

The giant cake that Mom wanted to eat has been ruined by Whitebeard II, and it seems there was something wrong with the cream on that cake too.

If you give this to your mother, she might not recover; in fact, she might become even more violent.

Now that Katakuri is seriously injured, Smoothie and Snack don't dare to step forward to stop Big Mom.

As for the other member of the Sweet Commanders, Biscuit Minister Charlotte Cracker, she is still on another island.

At this moment, Perospero, the eldest son of the Charlotte Family, stepped forward. Although he was not the strongest fighter among his siblings, as the eldest brother, he had always been responsible for the management of the entire Totto Land and had a considerable sense of responsibility.

Holding his candy cane, he rushed up to the Big Mom, opened his arms, and shouted, "Mom, there's more! There are other huge cakes, and all your favorite treats... They're right outside..."

In the Totto Land seas, on the edge of Big Mom Pirates' base, lies an island called Fulong Island.

The GF branch, the frontline Marine Base responsible for monitoring the Big Mom Pirates' movements, is located here.

Compared to the G-series naval bases with numbers up to 10, such as G-1 under the command of Momonga, G-2 under the command of Comil, and G-3 nominally under Garp, the GF base is a level lower.

The base commander was only a Rear Admiral.

Such combat power is clearly insufficient to intimidate the Big Mom Pirates.

The existence of the GF base here is more symbolic.

As usual, the marines used their binoculars to scout out movements at sea.

Suddenly, a huge warship slowly sailed towards the direction of the Totto Land.

In fact, the Big Mom was going to hold a tea party every few months, and countless ships came and went to Whole Cake Island, with all sorts of forces involved.

If the navy were to truly investigate and obstruct each case, it would be entirely beyond its capabilities.

The reason the Four Emperors are the Four Emperors is because they have the ability to rival the Navy and the World Government in certain regions.

The GF branch has no right to stop the Big Mom's guests.

However, under normal circumstances, ships heading to the Totto Land would avoid sailing so blatantly in front of the GF branch, instead taking a detour, which was also a way of giving the navy face.

But now, this massive warship is clearly not giving the navy any face.

Upon receiving the report from his subordinates, Rear Admiral Vanilla Bowie, the branch commander of GF, quickly organized his troops to board the ship, intending to give the newcomers a warning.

"Who are you people! This is the Big Mom Pirates' base!"

The marines used flag signals as they approached the warship.

Bowie stared at the insignia on the warship's sails, lost in thought. He felt he had seen the insignia somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place it.

This is an image of a giant dragon stepping on the sun and moon.

To say that this dragon is reminiscent of Kaido is a gross oversimplification.

Bowie's gaze was mainly focused on the sun and moon under the dragon's claws; he felt that these two patterns looked somewhat familiar.

"I remember now!"

Bowie punched his palm, finally remembering where he had seen those two things before.

At that very moment, a sandstorm that appeared out of nowhere on the sea slashed toward Bowie's warship like a sharp blade.

The marines were caught off guard by the sudden natural disaster, but fortunately, Bowie, as Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral, was quite capable.

He immediately leaped to the bow of the ship, drew his sword from his waist, and with a single One Sword Style -Sword Style Severing Cloud Cut, he cleaved the oncoming sandstorm in two, saving his warship.

Crocodile?

Somewhat uncertainly, Bowie shouted at the giant warship, "Is that you? Is this a ship from the Alabasta Kingdom?"

"Heh, I didn't expect my name hadn't been forgotten by the New World after all!"

Crocodile, a cigarette dangling from his lips, placed his gleaming leather shoes on the bow of the warship. "But this ship doesn't belong to the Alabasta Kingdom, it belongs to the Getan Alliance."

"Getan Alliance? What kind of organization is that?"

Before Bovie could even process what was happening, Crocodile had already smeared a copy of an electronic letter of appointment issued by Marineford onto Bovie's face with the help of a storm.

"Damn bastard! You despicable pirate!"

After being repeatedly mocked, Bowie angrily removed the letter of appointment from his face.

"Don't think you can be so arrogant just because Shichibukai... Huh? Crocodile, the Big Mom-Conquering Admiral-General? You're going to take down the Big Mom Pirates?"

Bowie looked at the words written on the letter of appointment in disbelief; his first reaction was disbelief.

After all, this letter of appointment was clearly printed, and the signature and seal of the Fleet Admiral Sengoku on it were also printed, making it difficult to determine its authenticity.

But Bowie quickly realized that this wasn't some kind of appointment letter for promotion or wealth; who would forge such a thing?

"You... you really want to go and fight Big Mom?"

"Hmph, now that you know, get out of my way!"

The one speaking is Mr. 5, the booger-like man standing next to Crocodile.

He wasn't really that brave to fight against the Four Emperors.

The main reason was that Crocodile, Shichibukai, gave him inexplicable confidence.

After all, in the eyes of a nobody like him, the Shichibukai and the Four Emperors —no, the Five Emperors —are the three forces balancing the seas, which means that their strengths are roughly equal.

That's what World Governments and rumors say.

Crocodile fighting Whitebeard, Moria fighting Kaido —they all sound pretty evenly matched.

Even if the Shichibukai are weaker than the Five Emperors, the difference in weakness should be limited.

You'll know once you do a simple arithmetic problem.

It is known that 7 Warlords of the Sea equal 5 Emperors.

Find: 1 Warlord of the Sea / 1 Emperor =?

Isn't the answer obvious?

One Shichibukai is equivalent to at least 5 to 7 of the Five Emperors!

If 5/7, what is the arithmetic progression?

Moreover, Crocodile had already stated at the very beginning of the voyage that the main purpose of this operation was diplomatic deterrence, and that direct contact with the Big Mom Pirates should be avoided as much as possible.

Simply put: Show off and then run!

There is absolutely no danger!

The thought of becoming famous for defeating the Big Mom Pirates made Mr. 5 laugh out loud, his tongue sticking out in a "Z" shape.

"You guys are just... just so incredibly cool!"

The navy men, including Bowie, had long since lost their previous anger, replaced by eyes full of admiration.

The composure and charisma of Crocodile's expeditionary force in the face of the Imperial Guard earned the admiration of all the Marines.

"Come back alive!"

Watching the Crocodile sail away, the sailors waved handkerchiefs and tearfully bid farewell.

Just then, the Den Den Mushi in Bowie's arms started ringing.

As a peripheral branch, the GF branch has not yet been equipped with Police Communicator and is still using traditional Den Den Mushi).

"Moses, Moses~"

Sengoku's voice came through the phone. "Is this the GF branch?"

"Fleet Admiral, it's been a year and seven months since you last called!"

"Has it been that long? Alright, alright, let's not talk about that. I'm here to inform you that a force will be dispatched soon to attack Big Mom..."

"Fleet Admiral, the people have already gone there. Do you want us to go and provide support?"

"What? It's already in the past?"

The sound of Sengoku whispering to another person could be heard from the other end of the phone:

"When did that Crocodile guy change his personality?"

"He can even change that, so what if he changes his personality? Besides, wasn't Garp training him all along?"

"Garp's training worked, but Monkey D. Dragon didn't... Huh? Kuzan, I said Garp's training wasn't working, why are you shaking so much? A cold? You're a Bingbing human, how can you catch a cold?"

"..."

The Den Den Mushi kept sending out incredible news, but Bowie could only remain silent and pretend he hadn't heard it.

After a long while, it seemed that Sengoku finally picked up the telephone again.

"Um, Rear Admiral Bao Wei, now that the punitive expeditionary force has entered the Totto Land, you will continue to monitor the Totto Land sea area. Remember, under no circumstances should you rashly intrude!"

"Yes, Fleet Admiral!"

Bowie readily agreed, but after much hesitation, he asked, "But in the face of such an incident, is our navy just going to do nothing?"

"According to intelligence provided by the World Government, key members of the Whitebeard Pirates Big Mom's tea party. The Whitebeard Pirates, the Revolutionary Army, and the Big Mom Pirates —if these three forces were to unite, they would cause unpredictable destruction to the world."

Sengoku said solemnly, "Admiral Kizaru is on his way. You must cooperate with him when he arrives."

"Yes!"

Bowie nodded quickly.

The Whitebeard Pirates are rumored to have gotten involved with the Revolutionary Army, and their meeting with Big Mom now is certainly a tricky situation...

But then again...

Bowie glanced in the direction of Whole Cake Island.

It's practically an open secret that Edward Newgate always appears on the invitations to the Big Mom Tea Parties.

But despite the invitations, I've never actually gone.

The fact that the World Government was able to know immediately about the presence of members of the Whitebeard Pirates at Big Mom's banquet demonstrates an intelligence capability far superior to that of Rear Admiral who can only observe from afar and pretend to monitor the situation!

Is it probably another spy from the Cipher Pol?

Thinking of those ruthless and unscrupulous guys, Bowie shook his head.

As expected, General Crocodile, the Big Mom-Conquering Admiral-General's Army, is far more magnanimous and grand...

·

On the deck of the warship, Crocodile held the "Letter from the Sunrise Queen to the Sunset Queen" written by Princess Vivi herself, choosing a good angle to send it to Whole Cake Island using Sables.

Crocodile's Sables can start as a small sandstorm in the palm of your hand, travel continuously, and eventually form a huge sandstorm with the power of a Runaan’s Hurricane.

However, once this thing leaves Crocodile's grasp, it is no longer under his control.

Therefore, finding the right angle is especially important.

Crocodile gestured with his hands while aiming with his eyes, only to see Mr. 5 rubbing his nose and glancing around.

"Mr. 5, what are you doing?"

Crocodile couldn't help but ask.

This booger has been interfering with Crocodile's ability to perform complex mental calculations of meteorological chaos mathematics, which greatly displeases him.

Mr. 5, with one eye closed, casually flicked out a booger. "Lord Crocodile, I'm using a booger bomb on Charlotte Linlin!"

"Charlotte Linlin? You actually called that crazy woman by her first name, you've got some nerve."

Crocodile sneered, "But that crazy woman should still be having a tea party on Whole Cake Island right now. How could your booger bomb possibly hurt her?"

"What does my attack on her with a booger bomb have to do with where she is?"

Mr. 5 said without changing his expression, "Although I only threw a booger at Charlotte Linlin from 800 miles away, the fact that I have fought against the Four Emperors does not change!"

Crocodile's eye twitched; he was speechless.

Mr. 1 covered his face, feeling ashamed that he was also a member of the Baroque Works.

Mr. 5's partner, the equally shameless and scheming Mr. Valentine, covered his mouth and chuckled, "As expected of you, Mr. 5. Who would be stupid enough to actually use a bomb to blow up Big Mom? Huh? What's that?"

Boom!

With a deafening explosion, Charlotte Linlin, standing atop Zeus, was completely black except for her terrifying, blood-red eyes, which were fixed intently on Crocodile and his group.

Perhaps because of the damn sense of ritual, Mr. 5's booger ball was particularly huge, so the explosion this time was quite powerful.

Furthermore, the explosion effects upon entering the New World have been epically enhanced.

This booger actually caused the Big Mom quite a bit of harm.

On the contrary, Cobra, who was hiding in the ditch of the Big Mom, only had his hairline recede a few centimeters again because of the explosion.

The Big Mom opened her mouth wide, exhaling smoke, her eyes fixed intently on Crocodile and his group. She then turned to Perospero and the others who had arrived aboard the Queen Mama Chanter, and demanded fiercely, "Tell me! Did these guys hide my food?! I'm going to kill them!"
