Vergo Makes His Move

"Those two bastards."

Seeing the Red-Hair and Whitebeard walk out of the banquet, Charlotte Linlin couldn't help but mutter a curse.

Charlotte Linlin and Kaido then exchanged a glance and fell silent.

Why did this have to happen on this particular day of all days? This is just too unlucky!

After leaving the banquet, Whitebeard called Ace to his side and whispered a few words... Ace's eyes widened in disbelief.

If it weren't for Marco on the side, he probably would have rushed out long ago.

Marco immediately warned, "Don't give yourself away, or it'll be even more troublesome... With your advantage as a Natural Ability user, you'll definitely reach Whole Cake Island before Katakuri."

Ace had calmed down by then, nodded to indicate that he understood. Then, acting as if nothing had happened, he walked to the side and started partying with his companions.

Then, under the cover of his accomplices, he gradually moved away from the area.

Red-Hair frowned deeply. "Ben Beckman, Luffy has already stormed Whole Cake Island. Who do you think we should send to help him?"

Ben Beckman was also stunned upon hearing this.

"Luffy??!!" Yasopp and the others were also dumbfounded. They knew Luffy was brave, but they never expected him to be this brave.

What kind of place is Whole Cake Island?

That's Charlotte Linlin's lair. Even the Red-Haired Pirates would have to fight to the death with the Big Mom Pirates unless they completely broke ties with them.

Otherwise, they would never have touched that place.

Because moving Whole Cake Island is tantamount to slapping Charlotte Linlin hard across the face.

Of course, the reverse is also true. Others won't easily touch the Red-Haired Pirates' stronghold... Territorial disputes are common, as long as everyone tacitly abides by certain unspoken rules.

However, everyone quickly realized what was going on.

Ben Beckman winked at the Whitebeard Pirates: "If I'm not mistaken, Ace, the Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, is Luffy's brother, right? He'll be even more anxious than we are... So, Captain, don't worry!"

Red-Hair paused for a moment upon hearing this, then laughed.

He glanced at Whitebeard's direction and found that Ace was no longer there. His heart, which had been pounding, immediately relaxed.

He knew Ace's strength.

His Devil Fruit Ability alone puts him at the level of Admiral. Although his lack of Three Types of Haki and physical strength are weaknesses, defeating him is no easy feat.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a name for himself in the New World.

Of course, it's unlikely that he could take over Whole Cake Island by himself. However, Charlotte Katakuri rescuing Luffy is absolutely no problem.

Meanwhile, on Whole Cake Island.

Vergo remained hidden in the shadows, while Luffy and Law's pirate crews drew enemy fire from the front. Meanwhile, he secretly dealt with the reinforcements.

Meanwhile, he was also searching for two people.

That's Charlotte Brulee and Charlotte Mont-d'Or.

Charlotte Brulee is the eighth daughter (19th child) of the Charlotte Family and the twin sister of Charlotte Bavarois.

A member of the Big Mom Pirates, Devil Fruit User.

Moke sent Vergo to find her because of her ability. And it must be said, that ability is incredibly useful.

It can create and control mirrors that can absorb and reflect attacks, absorb beams of light to transform into others, and suck enemies who touch the mirror into the "Mirror World" for imprisonment.

It can transform any object reflected in a mirror into the appearance of a specified object, but the appearance is not exactly the same; rather, it is symmetrical like a mirror image.

If you transform into a power user, you can use that power user's techniques during the transformation period.

However, if applied to animals, it only changes their appearance; their calls and physical attributes remain unchanged. Only a capable person can restore their original appearance by shining a mirror on the transformed object.

Most importantly, the "Mirror World" allows travel to any place with a mirror. With this, Moke can connect all his islands into one.

In that case, if any island is attacked, he can react quickly and send in reinforcements.

Charlotte Mont-d'Or, the nineteenth son of the Charlotte Family, Minister of Cheese, nicknamed "The Clerk," is a rather cunning character. His weapon is a gun!

He also possesses the Paramecia Book-Book Fruit, which allows him to preserve living organisms as specimens and use books to fly through the air, pulling people into the stories within the books and imprisoning them.

It's practically a walking prison.

These two individuals' abilities are of great use to Moke. That's why he let Vergo capture them.

Of course, there is another reason.

That is, if we capture Charlotte Brulee, we can evacuate through Charlotte Brulee's world during the evacuation.

Safe and convenient.

And we can also take Law with us... Then, we can hand the two of them over to Law, who will then bring them to Moke, and the two of them will naturally fall into Moke's hands.

Then we'll take away their abilities, and have Sugar turn them into toys. We'll erase all traces of them from this world, and then everything will be untraceable.

The bigger the commotion Luffy and Law cause, the more people will come to their aid.

Finally, Vergo saw one of the people he was looking for: Charlotte Mont-d'Or.

However, he was not alone.

Charlotte Mont-d'Or was accompanied by Charlotte Heifat and Charlotte Saint-Marc.

Vergo's eyes narrowed involuntarily.

These two must be eliminated immediately.

"Shave..."

Vergo vanished from his spot in an instant, reappearing beside Charlotte Saint-Marc.

"Not good..."

Charlotte Mont-d'Or, Charlotte Heifat, and Charlotte Saint-Marc all paled simultaneously, for they had spotted Vergo who had suddenly appeared.

Charlotte Saint-Marc, in particular, was poked directly at by Vergo with his index finger.

Extremely fast.

"Pfft..."

Charlotte Saint-Marc watched in utter terror as Vergo's fingers plunged into her chest. The most terrifying thing in life is knowing that death is imminent, yet being powerless to stop it.

He could only watch as death drew ever closer.

Because, although his eyes could keep up, his body couldn't keep up with Vergo's speed.

Charlotte Saint-Marc, whose heart had been pierced by a single finger, collapsed to the ground.

"Saint Mark!"

Charlotte Mont-d'Or and Charlotte Heifat were greatly surprised, knowing that their strength was almost equal to that of Charlotte Saint Marc.

But Charlotte Saint-Marc couldn't even last a single move against this guy.

That means... if this person in front of them wants to kill them, they won't be able to dodge a single blow either...

The two exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's meaning.

"They split up and ran..."

The two had no time to grieve for Charlotte Saint-Marc's death; they turned and fled in opposite directions.
