Four Emperors? So What!

"This is truly a bumper harvest!"

Floating in mid-air on bubbles, Caribou exclaimed excitedly, "With so much treasure... I can finally get a bigger ship!"

"Hehehehehe~"

As if recalling a certain scene, Caribou couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He, Caribou, is about to become an even greater pirate captain!

Hehehehe~

As for that pirate ship that was inexplicably destroyed?

Although this whole thing was infuriating, it was nothing compared to all the new things I'd received.

After shaking his head, Caribou turned his gaze towards the Port of Fish-Man Island and said, "Forget about the wrecked pirate ship. Let's figure out a way to get the kids out of Fish-Man Island first."

Otherwise, they might easily be captured by the Ryugu Kingdom.

After thinking for a moment, Caribou decided to go to the Port first to find the crew members who were hiding.

With that in mind, Caribou changed direction and began to slowly move towards the Port using the bubbles.

Caribou then said, "Hopefully we won't run into the Straw Hat Crew again."

That ability to change the terrain with a wave of the hand is terrifying, so it's best to keep your distance.

This is why Caribou ran away after stealing the items.

"Those beauties, though, look pretty good," Caribou chuckled.

"Hello."

"I wish I had a few beautiful women like these around me~"

"Hello."

"But it's okay, I'll join later..."

"Hello!"

Who is it?!

Enraged by the interruption, Caribou looked up and yelled in the direction of the voice, "Can't you see I'm talking?"

Are you looking for...?

Caribou stopped speaking abruptly when he saw Luffy and the others crouching behind Hall.

"The Straw Hat Crew?!"

Upon seeing those familiar figures, Caribou broke out in a cold sweat.

Why are you here?

Shouldn't they be attending some ridiculous banquet in the Ryugu Kingdom? Why are they suddenly appearing in mid-air?

What a coincidence, you bastard!

"We've been watching you mutter to yourself for ages," Sanji retorted. "Your vigilance is really low."

They had been on top of Caribou for a minute, but not only did the guy not notice them, he was muttering some incomprehensible things. It was unbelievable.

Caribou paused for a moment upon hearing this, then asked, "How did you know I was here?"

"That's all I saw," Xi Yan said calmly.

After they left Ryugu Kingdom, he activated his Sharinggan and searched for targets in the air, easily spotting Caribou's figure a few hundred meters away.

"What you saw?"

Several question marks immediately popped into Caribou's head. He'd run this far, how could he still be seen?

Was it observed with a telescope?

Damn it, I really miscalculated.

"You must be Caribou," Xi Yan said.

Upon hearing this, Caribou paused for a moment, then adopted a fawning expression and said, "It's me. May I ask what business you have with me?"

"You kidnapped the mermaid, didn't you?"

"Yes..."

Caribou nodded subconsciously, then, as if he understood something, his expression immediately turned somewhat terrified.

"No, no, no, how could I tie you up..."

"So it really was you, you bastard!"

Sanji, enraged and blazing with fury, glared at Caribou and said, "How dare you kidnap a beautiful Miss Mermaid... Are you a human trafficker too?!"

So it was because of you.

Zoro also frowned as he looked at Caribou. No wonder Neptune suspected us of being human traffickers; it turns out someone really did kidnap a mermaid!

It's you!

Luffy glared angrily at Caribou and said, "You bastard who framed us!"

"Bump!"

Without giving Caribou a chance to say anything more, Luffy raised his fist, which was wrapped in Haki, and punched him.

"Ah!"

Caribou, his face distorted by the hammer blows, screamed in agony before flying off towards the outskirts of Fish-Man Island.

"Hello!"

Seeing Caribou plummeting towards the ground, Zoro was dumbfounded and said, "How did you just send him flying like that?"

Shouldn't they have arrested the other person and taken them back? What's the point of just beating them up?

"Wouldn't going down to find him be the same thing?" Luffy said, scratching his head.

Zoro:...

Why not just arrest them from the beginning?

"Let's go down and take a look," Xi Yan said, rubbing his temples. "We can see if there are any local specialties on Fish-Man Island that we can buy to take with us."

Since we've come all this way, we should definitely take the time to explore.

"Specialty?!"

Sanji immediately upon hearing the words "local specialty."

"I completely agree with Xi Yan," Sanji said seriously. "So I plan to go check out the Mermaid Cafe."

Xi Yan:???

Is that what he meant by "local specialty," you bastard!

Luffy ignored the interaction between the group and instead patted Hall on the shoulder, saying, "Hey, whale, take us down."

"Hall~"

Hall nodded, then led the group back to the ground.

"You go back first," Xi Yan said, turning to look at Hall. "We'll go back later."

Upon hearing Xi Yan's words, Hall didn't waste any words, nodded, and turned to leave.

As for how to return to the Ryugu Kingdom?

There are flying fish below that can take you back to the Ryugu Kingdom, so there's no need to worry about that.

"I remember that guy just flew in this direction," Luffy said, looking around. "Where is he?"

"There he is," Xi Yan said, pointing to an area on the side of a huge coral reef. "He's lying right there."

After saying that, Xi Yan paused for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "This guy stole quite a lot!"

Hearing Xi Yan's words, Luffy and the others also curiously came to the coral, and then they all exclaimed in amazement.

"That's quite a lot."

"This guy must be a Devil Fruit user," Sanji said. "Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to drop so much stuff."

"Burst out..."

Xi Yan's lips twitched upon hearing this; it felt like something out of an online game.

Defeat the BOSS to get gold coins?

Ah, no... this kind of thing doesn't deserve to be called a BOSS at all; it's more like an elite monster.

After shaking his head to dismiss the strange thought, Xi Yan said, "Let's go, take this guy back with us."

"Profound!"

The others nodded and then followed Xi Yan to where Caribou was.

After casually taking out a set of ropes from his Ninja Tool Bag, Xi Yan squatted down and tied Caribou up tightly.

Looking at his masterpiece, Xi Yan nodded in satisfaction.

Sanji, who was packing up the treasure in a bundle, looked at Caribou, who was being carried by Xi Yan, with suspicion and said, "Could he be dead?"

"No."

Xi Yan shook his head and said, "This guy is one of the Supernovas, how could he die so easily?"

None of those who become Supernovas are simple characters.

"Looks like this guy can take a beating." Sanji chuckled.

Xi Yan nodded, then, as if noticing something, put down the Caribou in his hand and turned to walk onto a huge coral.

"What's wrong?"

"I saw a ship belonging to the Big Mom Pirates," Xi Yan said, frowning.

"BIG MOM..."

Sanji paused for a moment upon hearing this term, then frowned and said, "One of the Four Emperors...?"

Why are the Four Emperors ' men here?

Could it be that they came for them?

Thinking of this, Sanji turned and exchanged a glance with Zoro, their expressions gradually becoming serious.

"Let's go, let's go to town first," Xi Yan said.

He suspected the other party was there to collect protection money, but he wondered if Fish-Man Island could provide enough desserts now.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan frowned.

"Profound!"

"Should we put the things in the scroll?"

"No!" Luffy refused, "I like this feeling of receiving a reward!"

"Alright..."

"What did you say?!"

Pekoms frowned and looked at the Left Minister, saying, "No dessert?"

"Yes..."

The Left Minister, his face grim, said, "Because of an unforeseen event on Fish-Man Island, our Factory was destroyed by Hody, so we are unable to produce this month's quota..."

Hearing the Left Minister's words, Pekoms paused for a moment, then said, "So, you can't keep your promise?"

"There was nothing we could do about it," the Left Minister said, wiping the cold sweat from his face. "It wasn't something we did intentionally; we encountered an unexpected event."

"So... could you make an exception this time?"

"We'd like to offer even more next month..."

"No!"

Before the Left Minister could finish speaking, Pekoms interrupted him.

"No... no?"

"That's right, your internal strife has nothing to do with us."

After saying that, Pekoms paused for a moment, then continued, "Left Minister, you shouldn't have forgotten what we agreed upon, should you?"

"We'll lend you the title of 'Big Mom,' and you'll give us a little something extra each month... Is that right?"

"Gaoh!"

"Yes..."

The Left Minister wiped the cold sweat from his face; of course he knew about this.

That's precisely because he knew it, that's why he reacted that way.

"Then you should know how terrifying Big Mom is, right?" Pekoms took off his Sunglasses, his beady eyes widening as he said, "If you anger her... Fish-Man Island will be destroyed!"

"Gaoh!"

Looking at Pekoms's beady eyes, the Fish-Man Race standing nearby all had the same thought in their minds.

'It's so cute when you're trying to scare people...'

Why does such a robust body have such adorable little beady eyes?

Seeing the change in the Fish-Man Race, Pekoms nodded in satisfaction. It seemed his intimidation had worked.

Then, Pekoms put his Sunglasses back on and said, "So get me a way to collect all the snacks!"

"Let us think of a way..."

The Left Minister's face was extremely grim; what could he do?

The Factory has been destroyed...

"Ah, it's everyone from the dessert Factory!" Luffy appeared not far away, greeting the Left Minister and the others with a smile, "Hey, everyone~"

"It's Straw Hat Luffy!"

"Mr. Luffy, is the banquet over?"

"Ah, it's over." Luffy said with a smile, "The meat was delicious, and the snacks from Fish-Man Island were also fantastic!"

Upon hearing this, all the Fish-Man Race present were completely taken aback.

Why would Mr. Luffy say something like that?!

"Dessert?"

Upon catching those two words, Pekoms immediately frowned, then turned to look at Luffy and his crew beside him.

"This is what it looks like..."

As if remembering something, Pekoms pulled out a stack of Wanted Order and said, "It really is you... Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Straw Hat Luffy!"

"Huh?"

Pekoms, who had arrived nearby, looked at Luffy with a puzzled expression and asked, "You know me?"

"Of course we know each other," Pekoms said. "My Big Mom specifically told us to keep an eye on your pirate crew."

"In a sense, we almost became a group."

It's just a pity... that man is dead.

Luffy:???

What do you mean, they're all in cahoots?

What does that mean?

Xi Yan understood what Pekoms was saying; the other party must be a member of the Big Mom Pirates.

As for what the other party said about almost becoming allies... that should refer to the time two years ago when Galette came to see him.

Unfortunately, he can't join the Big Mom Pirates, so he can't become her partner.

"It seems you didn't understand what I meant."

After speaking, Pekoms paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Never mind, it's not important anyway."

"Hey kid!"

What's this about the snacks you just mentioned?

"Um, Mr. Pekoms, he..."

"Left Minister, don't speak yet!" Pekoms glared at the Left Minister and said, "Let me get this straight first."

He sensed that something was wrong.

The Left Minister opened his mouth as if to say something, but couldn't think of a solution.

For a moment, the old man's face turned red with anxiety.

"Catfish Uncle, what's wrong?" Luffy asked the Left Minister, puzzled. "Why is your face so red?"

"It's nothing, it's just..."

"Answer my question first, Straw Hat!"

"And who are you?" Luffy asked Pekoms with a puzzled look. "You don't look like Fish-Man, you look more like a lion."

"Kid, I'm asking you a question," Pekoms said. "You just said you had some snacks, right?!"

"Ah, I'm so full!"

"You actually said you're so full..." Pekoms gritted his teeth and turned to the Left Minister, saying, "Left Minister, can you explain what happened?"

How can this Straw Hat eat until he's stuffed without any snacks, you bastard!

He was so envious!

"This... that..."

The Left Minister was so anxious his face turned pale, but he couldn't think of any way to resolve the current situation.

Seeing that the Left Minister was speechless, Pekoms turned his gaze to Luffy.

"You damn Straw Hat, explain yourself! What's going on?!" Pekoms, having removed his Sunglasses, glared at Luffy with his beady eyes and said, "Why are you...?"

"Pfft~"

Hahahaha.

Looking into Pekoms' eyes, Luffy couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Why do they have such interesting eyes? Hahaha~"

Xi Yan couldn't help but chuckle; who would have thought that the eyes hidden behind the Sunglasses would look like this?

Could it be that some people wear Sunglasses just to hide their small, beady eyes?

Thinking of this, Xi Yan recalled Doflamingo, whom he had encountered two years ago during the Marineford War.

The other person was wearing Sunglasses.

I just don't know what his eyes look like.

Pekoms:...

"Damn it, do you want to fight?!" Pekoms roared.

His eyes are so imposing, why are you laughing, you jerk!

"Pekoms ~"

"Um?"

Turning to look at Baron Tamago's Pekoms, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Scaring them doesn't guarantee we'll get the treats," Baron Tamago said. "So... let's handle this peacefully."

"Another strange fellow..." Luffy looked at Baron Tamago of the Longleg Tribe with curiosity and said, "And who are you?"

"Hmm~"

Baron Tamago gently placed the teacup on his head and said calmly, "Greetings, members of the Naive Pirates."

"I am Baron Tamago ~"

"Childish..."

Hearing Baron Tamago's words, Xi Yan's lips twitched slightly. Is this how the Four Emperors Crew address these pirate crews who are preparing to enter the New World?

"That's exactly how you are to us," Baron Tamago said.

After saying that, the man stood up from the rock and took two or three steps to stand in front of Luffy.

"Wow, it's so high!"

Looking at Baron Tamago, whose legs were taller than him, Luffy immediately exclaimed in surprise, "And why do you look like an egg, Baron Tamago?"

Xi Yan and the other two looked at Baron Tamago with some surprise, clearly not expecting the man to be so tall.

Their legs alone must be three or four meters long.

"I'm from the Longleg Tribe, so naturally my legs are long," Baron Tamago explained first, then looked down at Luffy and said, "Also, my name is Baron Tamago, not Baron Tamago."

"You should at least remember other people's names, you little pirate brat."

After saying that, Baron Tamago paused for a moment, then continued, "Straw Hat, you just said you ate the snacks from this Factory, right?"

"Yeah~" Luffy grinned, "If there's any more, I'd like to keep eating."

"Hahaha~"

Recalling the taste of that dessert, Luffy couldn't help but drool.

"Mr. Luffy..."

Watching Luffy still joking Luffy with Baron Tamago, the Left Minister felt completely numb.

Does Luffy even know who the other person is?

"That's a real headache," Baron Tamago said, shaking his head. "We'll be angry if there's no cake."

"Angry?"

Luffy was taken aback. Was he angry just because there was no cake?

Ignoring Luffy's reaction, Baron Tamago pointed to the Big Mom logo on the cake Factory and said, "That huge symbol on the Factory is the Pirate Flag of our boss— Charlotte Linling!"

"Having that thing means that this island belongs to Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors."

"In other words, Fish-Man Island is currently protected by the reputation of Big Mom!"

"She's such a nice person~" Luffy grinned.

Seeing Luffy still grinning with his teeth showing, Baron Tamago was completely silenced.

He's explained it so clearly, how come the other person still doesn't understand?

Could this guy be a single-celled organism?

Thinking about this, Baron Tamago felt somewhat speechless.

Then he said, "Don't get me wrong, Straw Hat."

"It's just a deal."

"Trade?"

"Yes!"

Baron Tamago said, "We'll hand over ten tons of sweets every month in exchange for the protection of the Big Mom Pirates!"

"Ten tons?"

"So much?"

"That's right, ten tons!" Baron Tamago nodded and said, "So let's wait, the deadline is tomorrow morning!"

"If we leave tomorrow morning, we'll still have enough time."

If enough cake isn't brought out by tomorrow morning... then they'll send people to destroy Fish-Man Island!

"Tomorrow morning..." the Left Minister said with a grim expression, "But... Your Excellency, as I just said, the Factory has been destroyed, and it will take two weeks to resume operations, so..."

"That won't do," Baron Tamago coldly interrupted the Left Minister, "It must be by tomorrow morning!"

"Hey, Tamago!" Sanji said irritably, "Can't you guys wait a minute?"

Zoro then said, "Is your boss so petty?"

"My Big Mom is a truly remarkable female pirate, so naturally she's not lacking in magnanimity," Baron Tamago said calmly. "But this matter has nothing to do with magnanimity; it's a promise!"

Fish-Man Island broke their contract!

So... there's nothing wrong with what he said.

"Oh, you're a lady."

As he spoke, Sanji's face suddenly turned red, as if he had thought of something.

Xi Yan:???

"No, why are you blushing like a teapot?"

Sanji, that bastard, probably wasn't thinking about anything pink.

Big Mom must be at least in her fifties or sixties!

"Cough, it's nothing," Sanji said with a light cough.

He then turned to Baron Tamago and changed the subject, saying, "By the way, what are the consequences if the desserts are delivered late?"

"If that's the case..." Baron Tamago suddenly said with a grim expression, "Then our agreement with Fish-Man Island will be null and void!"

"After that, the warriors of the Big Mom Pirates will come and destroy Fish-Man Island!"

They show no mercy to those who dare to break their promises!

Upon hearing Baron Tamago's words, Luffy and his companions' expressions immediately changed.

"Destroy Fish-Man Island?!" Luffy exclaimed angrily. "Are you kidding me? How could I possibly destroy a country just because of a little bit of heart?"

"And this island has only just been saved, you bastard!"

Isn't this a bit too absurd?

"Oh."

Hearing Luffy's words, Baron Tamago and Pekoms both sneered. At that moment, they felt that Luffy was so ridiculous and... naive!

"These guys are serious," Xi Yan said, frowning.

He could tell that the man who called himself Baron Tamago was serious.

What he didn't expect was that this agreement would have such terrible consequences...

The country will be destroyed if we can't collect enough dim sum?

How domineering is this?

But once he thought about the other person's identity, Xi Yan felt relieved.

Yes, the other side is a pirate.

Even if the other party is willing to make a deal with you, it doesn't change the fact that they are a pirate!

Zoro instinctively placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, staring silently at Baron Tamago, lost in thought.

Baron Tamago, having observed their reactions, sneered again, saying, "These rookie pirates these days are a real headache."

They don't think they can solve the problem by fighting them here, do they?

Don't be ridiculous. Even if these guys could beat them, it wouldn't solve this problem!

"Fine, then..."

Before Baron Tamago could finish speaking, the Den Den Mushi that was placed not far away suddenly rang.

Upon seeing this, Baron Tamago and Pekoms's expressions changed drastically.

"This phone call..." Pekoms said with a grim expression, "It must be Big Mom."

He just reported the situation over there, so... the person calling this time is most likely his Big Mom.

Upon hearing Pekoms's words, the Fish-Man Race nearby turned pale.

"Is this a call from BIG... BIG MOM himself?"

"But it had to be her..."

The Left Minister's face turned green as he looked at the still-ringing Den Den Mushi.

If the other side were to directly issue the order to attack Fish-Man Island... wouldn't those two powerful figures immediately take action against them?

Although the Straw Hat might lend a hand, that would also plunge the Straw Hat Crew into utter ruin!

Damn it... what should I do?!

"Gurgle..."

"A phone call from someone I call 'Big Mom '..."

Xi Yan:???

Looking at Sanji, whose face was turning red again, Xi Yan complained, "So what are you blushing about, you jerk?"

That's enough!

"Hey, Pekoms..." Baron Tamago, who had walked with Pekoms to a spot not far from the Den Den Mushi, swallowed hard and said, "How about..."

"No, you pick it up!" said Pekoms, sweating profusely. "I don't want to get yelled at."

Baron Tamago:...

That's as if he enjoys being scolded.

He doesn't like it either, you bastard!

Who wants to face an angry Big Mom? She's not even human!

After a moment of silence, Baron Tamago said, "Pekoms, how about we play rock-paper-scissors..."

"Hello?!"

Luffy, casually picking up Den Den Mushi, glared at Den Den Mushi and said, "You're that Big Mom?!"

"Hello!"

Baron Tamago and Pekoms were dumbfounded when they saw Luffy pick up the Den Luffy Den Den Mushi without hesitation.

Does this bastard even know what he's doing?

The other Fish-Man Race stared at Luffy in shock, clearly not expecting him to do such a thing.

No, how can someone be so audacious?

Big Mom, on the other end of Den Den Mushi Luffy's unfamiliar voice, seemingly lost in thought.

"Mr. Luffy..."

Seeing Luffy holding the Den Den Mushi, the Left Minister wanted to go forward and say something, but was stopped by Xi Yan.

"The Young man with sunglasses?"

Having clearly seen what Luffy was planning, Xi Yan chuckled and said to the Left Minister, "Leave it to Luffy."

"But..."

"Um!"

Seeing Xi Yan nod affirmatively at him, the Left Minister, who looked troubled, pursed his lips but ultimately chose to believe the Straw Hat Crew.

After all... he was out of options.

Then, he noticed the strange person in Xi Yan's hand.

"This is..."

"He is the real culprit who abducted the mermaid girl," Xi Yan said. "Now I hand him over to you."

"Oh, right, remember to tie him up with Sea Stone; this guy is a Devil Fruit user."

After saying this, Xi Yan threw Caribou on the ground next to the Left Minister, indicating that the other party would take him away later.

Upon hearing this, the Left Minister nodded gratefully and said, "Yes, I understand."

After speaking, the Left Minister waved his hand, signaling the dazed Taxi Soldiers to take the unconscious Caribou away and not let him get away.

Then, he and Xi Yan looked side by side in Luffy's direction, intending to see how Luffy would handle this matter.

At this moment, BIG MOM spoke up, saying, "Looks like you're not Tamago."

"Not Pekoms either... who are you?"

"I am Monkey D. Luffy, the man who will become the Pirate King!"

"Hello!"

Upon hearing Luffy's words, Baron Tamago and Pekoms immediately turned green. What was this bastard saying in front of their Big Mom?!

Does he not even know how to spell the word "death," you bastard?!

"Monkey... D?"

Upon hearing the name BIG MOM, an image of a monstrous man immediately comes to mind.

A man who... survived her ultimate attack unscathed!

After a moment of silence, Big Mom sneered and said, "So it's that bastard Garp's grandson."

"I know who you are now. You're the kid who caused a Underwater Great Prison with Xi Yan two years ago."

"It's a bit of a pity, really, West..."

"I ate all the snacks!" Luffy interrupted Big Mom, saying, "I ate them all!"

Big Mom, who was interrupted, was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and said, "There should have been ten tons, how could you have eaten them all?"

"I ate them all!" Luffy roared. "I ate ten tons of them!"

"Asshole..."

Provoked by Luffy, Big Mom's face immediately bulged with veins, and her expression became somewhat ferocious.

"Hey, Straw Hat, what exactly do you want?!"

Baron Tamago stared blankly at Luffy, completely baffled as to what this brat was up to.

Doesn't he know how terrifying the Four Emperors are?

Or is it that... a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger?

"Kid, do you even know who you're up against?" Luffy stared at Pekoms in shock, momentarily speechless.

"I know," Luffy said.

Pekoms fell silent upon hearing this. He knew all along, yet still dared to say such a thing?

What is he trying to do?!

At that moment, Big Mom seemed to realize something and said with a cold laugh, "I know... you want to protect those Fish-Man, right?"

After all... that's ten tons of desserts!

How could anyone possibly eat ten tons of desserts?

So this kid is definitely protecting Fish-Man Island!

Luffy didn't refute the idea of protecting Fish-Man Island, but nodded and said, "But I did eat them all; I ate the rest."

"However... I really didn't know those desserts were for you."

After finishing speaking, Luffy paused for a moment, then put the bundle on his back on the ground and said, "How about this, we have a lot of treasure now, you can have it all as compensation for the snacks."

"In that case... you shouldn't pursue the matter of Fish-Man Island not having any snacks. They'll make it up to you after they repair the Factory."

"Are you kidding me?" Big Mom roared. "Can you eat treasure?"

"I want delicious desserts!"

She doesn't care about any treasures; after all, she's not short of money now.

She wants delicious desserts!

"Please... please wait a moment!"

Baron Tamago's eyes widened immediately upon seeing the enormous package that Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro had placed on the ground.

Is all this treasure?

Then he ran over and said, "Are these three huge packages you've placed on the ground all treasure?"

"Yes!"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Baron Tamago subconsciously swallowed. Had these guys robbed an entire country?

That's outrageous!

'Compared to desserts... this treasure is clearly much more valuable!'

As if he had made up his mind, Baron Tamago stepped forward, snatched the Den Den Mushi from Luffy's hand, and walked aside, saying, "Big Mom, this is Tamago. Please calm down and let me finish what I have to say."

"Recently, quite a few new pirates have appeared in the New World, and some of them have destroyed some of our merchant ships..."

"So... I hope to use this funding to fill this gap."

At this point, Baron Tamago paused, and swallowed hard.

Then he whispered, "Big Mom, the amount of treasure is really outrageous."

"So... could you please wait another two weeks?"

"They will deliver the pastries to us after they finish repairing the Factory."

"Now, please approve their use of this treasure to make up for this loss."

"As for snacks... I'll try my best to buy you some delicious snacks on the way back."

What do you think?

Looking at the Den Den Mushi that hadn't spoken, Baron Tamago swallowed again, his expression becoming somewhat cautious.

"What a joke, Tamago!" BIG MOM roared, "How could you say something so shameful..."

"What pirate would ever compromise on what they want?!"

"I... I'm sorry!"

Baron Tamago, startled by the shout, fell to the ground with a thud, his face covered in cold sweat.

Pekoms also subconsciously swallowed; Big Mom seemed angry.

Does this mean... they're going to destroy Fish-Man Island?

With that in mind, Pekoms turned his attention to the Straw Hat Crew.

Maybe they'll start fighting soon...

Thinking of this, Pekoms was about to say something to Baron Tamago, but before he could speak, Big Mom on the other end of the Den Den Mushi spoke again.

"Hehe, interesting..."

"Interesting?"

Pekoms paused for a moment, "What's interesting?"

"I've suddenly become interested in this brat who dares to go against me," Big Mom grinned. "Garp's grandson..."

"Straw Hat Luffy, this time it'll be as you wish."

"However... after this incident, we will shift our focus from Fish-Man Island to you."

"Come, come to the New World!"

She wanted to see if this brat would still have the courage to shout those words the moment he saw her!

"Turn out to be..."

Seeing Luffy remain calm, the Left Minister's pupils shrank to their minimum.

Is this Mr. Luffy's purpose in doing this?

Make Big Mom turn her attention to them...

This is an immense favor!

"Ah, I'll be coming to the New World." Luffy picked up the Den Den Mushi and said, "You wait here, I also have something I need to talk to you about."

"Looking for me?"

"That's right!"

Luffy angrily retorted, "It's far too dangerous to entrust the Fish-Man Race to someone like you!"

"So I'm going to beat you to a pulp in the New World and officially make Fish-Man Island my territory!"

"You brat..."

Upon hearing Luffy's words, Big Mom's face immediately contorted with rage, veins bulging.

Are all the men in the Monkey Family this bold...?

"Kid, come and try if you dare!" BIG MOM roared, "I'll be waiting for you in the New World!"

"Just you wait!"

"Kaga ~"

Baron Tamago:...

Baron Tamago was Luffy to see Den Den Mushi end the call without hesitation.

Does this kid even know what he did?

Pekoms looked at Luffy with a complicated expression, as if he were looking at a madman.

"What Highland newbie...!"
