Tea Party

"Lord Stussy ~"

"Lord Morgans ~"

On both sides of the road, ordinary people or small animals and plants that had been given souls screamed and cheered for the arrival of the six people.

"Welcome, esteemed lords of the Underworld!"

Before the castle, a thin, zombie-like man with a tongue longer than his life stood with his arms outstretched, holding a candy cane.

"Perospero!"

Morgans immediately recognized the person waiting for and receiving them as Charlotte Perospero, the eldest son of Big Mom and the "Candy Minister" of the Whole Cake Island!

"Gentlemen, it might be a little too late to make it through the city now. If it's convenient, please allow me to give you a ride!"

"Candy Elevator!"

He waved his candy cane, and a stream of sky-blue syrup rose from the ground, spiraling upwards to the top.

And so, a Candy Elevator with an exquisite appearance, like a work of art, was created.

"No matter how many times I watch it, I feel that the simple head is like a work of art!"

Morgans exclaimed in admiration, and the others echoed his praise. The children on the roadside were practically drooling as they looked at the candy ladder.

"Then we..."

"Tap-tap~tap-tap~"

Just as the six were about to take the elevator in, a sudden noise caught their attention.

Everyone turned around and saw a huge carriage being pulled by a giant crocodile, approaching in their direction.

"Huh? There are actually people with even bigger tempers than us?"

Pekoms, the king of assassins, was dissatisfied that the newcomer arrived later than him and drove a more impressive car.

"It's best to be cautious with your words before the Tea Party, since there are bound to be some minor figures among those who travel here."

Morgans spoke calmly. He had already heard a little about the identity of the visitor, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

When the crocodile stopped, the carriage curtain was pulled open, and Lucci, dressed in white, stepped out of the carriage first.

Next came Chopper and Bonney, bouncing around, and one after another, the members of Las Noches, who were known to strike fear into the hearts of all, emerged.

"They are..."

Some of those who recognized Lucci were already trembling as they spoke.

"Hey, is that true? What are those people doing here?!"

Pekoms was also somewhat surprised, clearly not expecting them to be the ones coming over.

"You seem to have some kind of problem with me?"

Accompanied by a cold voice, the last person to get off the bus, Cifer, was staring at Pekoms.

"Mr. Ulquiorra, I've heard so much about you! My Mother specifically instructed me to personally greet you!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Perospero quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

Cifer glanced at him but didn't try to scare the guy any further, since he hadn't planned to do anything to him for the time being.

"I really want to see you too! My lucky star!"

Morgans could not contain his excitement and strode up to Cifer. If he hadn't been wary of him, he would have even wanted to hug him.

"You have indeed made a significant contribution to my position."

Cifer took a second look at this birdman, after all, he was a useful asset.

"But I really didn't expect that the two Sea Emperors would meet so quietly."

A bead of cold sweat slid down Stussy's forehead.

Logically speaking, I should be the first to receive information about the movements of such an important person.

Not to mention, this was the first time she had encountered such a situation, yet she received nothing.

"Everyone! Let's go inside first, don't keep Mother waiting too long."

Perospero, who had previously maintained a dignified and unyielding demeanor before the six emperors of the Underworld, now appeared somewhat humble.

He didn't want to create a potential enemy for the Big Mom Pirates.

"Then let's go."

The six people very consciously made way for each other, Cifer was the first to step onto the candy ladder, followed by his companions.

"It can actually move on its own?"

Chopper, filled with curiosity, touched the armrest repeatedly.

"He commands respect without even raising his voice; he's truly a terrifying fellow."

The one who appeared to be drunk among the six boasted that he could see things more clearly than anyone else.

After exchanging glances, the people from the Underworld followed.

"Thankfully, it was a close call..."

Perospero wiped his forehead and looked at his palm, which was covered in sweat.

"Everyone, you can eat this elevator in three minutes!"

After distributing a few candies to the drooling little devils, he followed the crowd to the hellish Tea Party.

Wow, this looks delicious!

Once inside the castle, Bonney's gaze was fixed on it.

The air was filled with a wonderful aroma, and the tea, snacks, and desserts on the table were nothing to her; she wanted to devour the entire castle!

"Bonney, this is Tea Party, and there's a wedding coming up later. If you want to eat, you'll have to wait until it's over."

As a father, Bear earnestly taught Bonney to be polite, and then casually took the handle of a nearby chocolate flask and gave it to her to eat.

Welcome, guests!

A woman with exceptionally tall yet not bulky figure, long white hair reaching her waist, and incredibly long legs, stood up to greet Cifer and the others who had just entered the hall.

"Yo~ Smoothie ~"

Morgans seemed to be a very popular and kind person, always politely calling out the name of every cadre he met.

Would you like something to drink?

"There is lava from Mount Mauri, a woman who assassinated 100 men, and a giraffe with a strange cry."

Smoothie's eyes were fixed on Cifer; she knew that this was the real big shot.

"We can just drink what normal people drink."

The thought of using those things behind her to make juice Cifer feel disgusted.

"Then I want a giraffe!"

"Me too!"

Stussy and his group didn't think that far ahead; for them, that was the real point.

"They're disgusting, Captain Cifer!"

Nolan, who was drinking hot tea beside him, frowned deeply after watching Smoothie's juicing process, as a chef.

"Those who consider themselves to be of high society simply like to be different."

Cifer casually sat on a candy-made chair, enjoying a delicious afternoon tea like his other companions.

"Welcome everyone from afar! Look! Look around, there are delicious snacks everywhere!"

Eat to your heart's content! Drink to your heart's content! Enjoy everything here to the fullest!

With a burst of colorful ribbons, a woman who was as tall as a small giant and extremely obese jumped from a high place to the center of the hall.

One of the Sea Emperor, Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, has officially made her appearance!

"How... how could this be..."

In a corner outside, Bege was listening to the scene in the hall, muttering to herself.

As a junior officer in the Big Mom Pirates, he had never heard of this before!

"Bege, what happened?"

At this moment, the people hidden inside him seemed to have noticed something was wrong, Nami quickly asked about the situation.

Bege's expression began to turn somewhat grim, and she uttered words that silenced everyone within her:

"There are two Sea Emperors at the Tea Party!"
