BIG MOM's fury
Coral Hill, in the Fish-Man Cafe.
Today, an unexpected guest has arrived here.
Of course, for Shyarly the Mermaid, Haku was indeed an uninvited guest.
Behind the Mermaid Cafe is where the Mermaid rest.
Shyarly glared at Haku, who had walked in without greeting her, her face darkening. She said irritably, "Are all people on land this rude?"
Haku shrugged and said, "Do you expect my girls outside to come in and announce my arrival?"
"I bet you'll just refuse to see me, right?" Haku grinned.
Shyarly impatiently shook the pipe in her hand, refilled it with tobacco, and said, "Tell me, did you come to see me to see what's going on with your Future?"
Haku hadn't expected him to be so direct. He cut to the chase, saying, "It seems you've already had your fortune told. Now I'm curious, what did you see?"
Shyarly's expression was complicated as she looked at Haku and said, "You and your Straw Hat Kid are such opposites! The Straw Hat Kid is the murderer who destroyed Fish-Man Island in the Future, while you are the one who rebuilt Fish-Man Island!"
Haku raised an eyebrow and said, "Would you only agree with your image of us if these two things were switched?"
Shyarly remained silent, but to be honest, that was indeed the case.
Based on her observations of Luffy over the past few days, she didn't think Luffy was the kind of person who would destroy an island or a country.
On the contrary, Haku, she could see, had very little to restrain Haku. Once Haku decided to do something, almost nothing could stop her!
Haku stood up, expecting the answer she needed. Actually, while Shyarly was thinking, he already had a general idea.
It's time to leave Fish-Man Island!
As Haku stood up, Shyarly also came to her senses. She asked, "Will that Future really come true? Can Fish-Man really live openly on land?"
Haku, who was about to open the door, paused. She said softly but firmly, "Perhaps!"
Shyarly watched Haku leave in silence for a long time. Having figured something out, she murmured, "Opening a Fish-Man café on land sounds pretty good!"
Haku had just stepped out of the Fish-Man café, was suddenly drawn to a group of Fish-Man rushing toward the candy factory!
Haku seemed to have an idea and walked towards that spot with great interest.
Meanwhile, at the candy processing factory...
"Minister Leo, are you kidding me? We've come all this way, and now you're telling me that Fish-Man Island hasn't gathered enough sweets to hand over!" Bolucci roared.
The Minister Leo struggled to calm Bolucci's anger, explaining, "I'm truly sorry, Mr. Pokomos, we really had no choice. There was a riot on Fish-Man Island earlier, and many facilities at the candy factory were damaged."
Bolucci said angrily, "Don't you have any backups?! You know the consequences for Fish-Man Island if we don't hand in the desserts this month!"
Upon hearing this, the Minister Leo broke out in a cold sweat. He said, "Could you please grant me two weeks? The Fish-Man need some time to repair the machinery at their home processing plant!"
"Impossible! Don't you know that Mom is going to hold Tea Party soon? If you can't afford the dessert this time, you'll face the wrath of the entire BIG MOM Pirates!" Bolucci said coldly.
"But!" The Minister Leo wanted to explain something.
At this moment, Baron Tamago had been sitting in the corner with a teacup in his hand, said, "Minister Leo, you must understand that if we can't afford the dessert this time, then we can only apologize. No one can withstand Mother's wrath."
"Hello! Is this the Minister Leo?"
Luffy's voice came from afar, drawing everyone's attention.
Luffy walked over, rubbing his stomach, he said, "Minister Leo, did you come to this candy factory to bring us more sweets? To be honest, your sweets are really delicious."
Upon hearing this, the Minister Leo turned pale and desperately tried to signal Luffy with various facial expressions to keep quiet!
But for someone as oblivious as Luffy, no matter how he tried to make a face, it was useless. Luffy simply didn't notice any of that!
The Minister Leo was helpless; others might not know, but he knew best in his heart!
Actually, the candy factory uses the surplus desserts, but they are used during banquets at the Ryugu Palace.
To satisfy Luffy's enormous appetite, these stored sweets were all fed into Luffy stomach.
Baron Tamago gleaned some information from the conversation. He looked at the Minister Leo with a serious expression and said, "Wasn't it said there were no leftover desserts? How come this guy got to eat some?"
Bolucci flipped through the Bounty Poster in his hand and said, "Found it! This kid is Luffy, the Straw Hat Kid who caused chaos in the Sabaody Archipelago two years ago!"
Baron Tamago looked at the Minister Leo and said, "Aren't you going to explain what's going on? You should know that if you really can't afford the desserts, you'll be attacked by the BIG MOM Pirates!"
The Minister Leo was completely at a loss; poor thing, he still didn't know that Neptune had already reached an agreement with Haku.
If he knew all this, he could have used Haku as a very good shield.
Luffy exclaimed in surprise, "Are you kidding me? You're going to attack Fish-Man Island just for some sweets?!"
Sanji's expression turned serious; he had heard of the BIG MOM Pirates. He reminded him, "Luffy, the Big Mom that guy mentioned is one of the Four Emperors' Pirate Crew!"
Luffy was somewhat surprised. He whispered, "Four Emperors like Shanks?"
Sanji nodded!
Bolucci spoke up, "There's no other way now. Since Fish-Man Island can't hand over the dessert, Mother won't let them off the Fish-Man Island! You'd better prepare to face Mother's wrath!"
The Minister Leo said anxiously, "Can't we grant two weeks? As soon as the machine is fixed, we can immediately deliver the required amount of desserts!"
Luffy knew the situation was urgent, and he also knew that most of the island's sweets had ended up in his stomach.
He also stepped in to help explain!
Bolucci and Baron Tamago remained unmoved, because they knew Big Mom's personality.
No matter who it is, if they don't hand in all the desserts, the Big Mom will hold a grudge and destroy them!
Besides, the desserts that Fish-Man Island is going to hand over this time are Big Mom is going to use to start her Tea Party!
Fish-Man Island's failure to submit dessert at this special meeting is practically a slap in the face to the BIG MOM Pirates!
