Tea Party Begins

After Akainu Fleet Admiral, he was stationed at the Marineford in the New World.

"Fleet Admiral Sakazuki! Our scouts have just brought back some incredible news!"

A general from headquarters hurriedly knocked on the door and entered the Fleet Admiral's office, his expression grave.

"Um?"

Sakazuki, caught between handling official business and doubting his own transformation into a civil servant, fixed his sharp gaze on the newcomer.

"On Big Mom's Whole Cake Island, someone spotted members of Las Noches, including that Black Winged Great Demon!"

If the two Sea Emperors were to discuss topics detrimental to the World Government, it would cause a global upheaval!

"That guy? Ignore him."

To the general's surprise, Sakazuki had no interest in listening any further.

"But... those are two Super Great Pirate..."

The officer thought the Fleet Admiral hadn't heard him clearly and wanted to reiterate how terrifying the other side was.

"I said, ignore it! What we need to focus on now is the upcoming World Government Member States Conference."

"Dozens of kings from various countries will be attending; we won't have time to meddle in the pirates' affairs!"

When Sakazuki loses his temper, the newspaper in his hand is burned to ashes by the high temperature.

"Yes!"

The officer was so frightened that he raised his hand in salute and quickly left.

"The position of Fleet Admiral must be difficult to hold, Sakazuki ~"

"Meow~"

An old man with white hair and beard peeked out from outside the door, covering his mouth and laughing. The sheep with bells behind him also bleated.

"Shut up, you semi-retired person!"

Although Sakazuki's tone was dissatisfied, he deliberately lowered his voice.

The other party wisely refrained from further teasing and left calmly.

"You've really messed up this time, Black Python!"

"Hahaha~ That's what I want. In this new era, they're no longer necessities. Don't you think so?"

He was sitting in his living room, his burly body bursting into laughter.

Meanwhile, at the Tea Party.

"Hey~ Who's the other person?!"

Nami looked nervous inside Bege's castle.

She and Carrot had just managed to snatch Brook back from Big Mom last night.

They had some knowledge of how terrifying the Sea Emperor was.

"It's that Black Winged Great Demon who's been making headlines lately!"

Bege's face was still grim. He had been plotting against the Big Mom Pirates for a whole year!

Moreover, the plan they came up with was to exploit weaknesses and launch a sneak attack, but at this most critical moment, an even more troublesome person appeared.

The horrific scene he witnessed when leaving Sabaody Archipelago remains vividly etched in Bege's mind.

"What?! Cifer is my best friend! You agree, Marguerite! Hehehehe~"

Luffy held a fishing net in his hand and grinned widely.

(Marguerite is the woman who saved Luffy when he was sent flying to Amazon Lily. Here, we'll assume she was invited to join Luffy after studying medicine.)

I originally wanted to write about Mansherry, but she's too weak. Marguerite, at least, has Haki presence and can protect herself to some extent in the New World. She's the new weakest trio in the Straw Hat Pirates... Please don't criticize if you disagree!

"Uh... I guess I should?"

Marguerite scratched her head. Although she had seen them interact on Amazon Lily, it seemed that Luffy had only been beaten up by one side.

"Luffy..."

"I can't talk anymore! We're running out of time!"

Before Nami could ask any more questions, Luffy had already started running around with the net in his hand.

"That person always has a creepy feeling about him, even though I don't have hair, I only have bones."

Hearing their conversation, Brook couldn't help but recall her brief encounter with Cifer on the Sabaody Archipelago, where she had been so captivated by the beauty that she hadn't paid much attention to him.

But when the other party fought with the Marine Admiral, the tremor that came from the depths of his soul made him even have the urge to kneel on the ground.

"It's alright, Cifer shouldn't be the enemy."

Nami also offered words of comfort.

At this moment, Big Mom's enormous body was already standing in front of Cifer in the hall.

All eyes were on the two men, and many couldn't help but swallow hard, both afraid and looking forward to the clash between these two important figures.

"You seem to be a race I've never seen before, Black Winged Great Demon?"

The aura that Big Mom sensed from Cifer was so lofty and superior that it made her yearn for him.

That must be an unprecedentedly powerful race. If we could unite with them, we would surely possess the most powerful force in the world!

"I didn't come here to listen to your nonsense; let's get down to business."

Cifer had no interest in answering her foolish question.

"That's right, it's about time, I'll take my seat first."

Big Mom didn't discuss the topic anymore.

Just a few days ago, her son, who was hailed as the Charlotte Family's greatest masterpiece, was defeated by the cadre in front of her. The power of Las Noches was even greater than she had imagined.

She strode to an empty table in the center and sat down, waiting for the show to begin.

"Mother, the Saintess has arrived."

Immediately, her subordinates brought out a photograph of Saintess Carmelo, which she treasured, and placed it on the table.

"That's right, she is our Saintess! Mama mama~"

Big Mom was clearly in a good mood upon seeing the photo, and she burst into laughter without realizing it.

"The nun's smile is as radiant as ever today!"

Such flattering remarks kept coming from the guests, and the smile on her face never stopped.

"Captain Cifer, who is that old woman in the photo...?"

Nolan was somewhat surprised, never expecting that Sea Emperor like him would have someone he respected so much.

"A dying man trying to survive in this world by despicable means."

Cifer drank the black tea, his face expressionless.

"Looks like I'm going to die, though. This banquet is definitely not going to be boring! Yeah~ Hahahaha~"

Enel, who was eating and drinking wildly with Bonney behind him, completely oblivious to the stares of others, had already understood the unspoken meaning in Cifer's words.

At the same time, he also overheard Bege's plans with his men.

"Considerations for your daughter's wedding are also a way of bringing you a gift, Charlotte."

Feld's men carried in a box that was about the size of an average person.

"Isn't this a treasure chest? I love treasure chests the most! What could be inside?"

"I brought you a gift too, Linlin ~"

Just as Big Mom was in high spirits, several emperors of the Underworld ordered their men to bring out their treasure chests, and the other guests, without exception, began to present gifts.

"I'm so happy to receive so many gifts every time. Thank you everyone, I'm so blessed!"

As one of the mighty Sea Emperor, Big Mom was like a child, hugging the mountain of gift boxes in front of her, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
