Saint Mjosgard Revived, Teach Will Stop at Nothing for Cherry Pie
"Welcome back, Musgarud!" The other Five Elders, seated at the conference table, addressed the newly resurrected Saint Mjosgard.
"How is it? Are there any side effects after the resurrection?" Saint Charlos asked impatiently, sensing the aura emanating from Saint Mjosgard.
"Yes, there are definitely some side effects! I'm not used to this body right now, and I can feel that my power has been reduced by 20%! As for other side effects, there haven't been any yet!" Saint Mjosgard frowned slightly. Losing 20% of his power would undoubtedly have a huge impact on a powerhouse of their caliber! And it wasn't just a temporary loss; it was like his soul had suddenly been stripped of 20%, and no matter how much he repaired it, it would never be able to make up for it!
"About 20% of their strength? Although the losses are huge, they are still within acceptable limits!" the long-haired Five Elders said slowly.
"Yes, that's true! After all, it's a new technology developed by Vegapunk, and it's already quite impressive that it has reached this level!" Saint Mjosgard sighed, his resentment towards Teach intensifying.
"It wasn't in vain that we spent tens of billions of Beli researching this technology! Although each use costs nearly 5 billion Beli, it's still well worth it!"
Only the so-called World Nobles could afford such a huge sum of money! But this is not something you can do just because you have money. Currently, only the Five Elders can use this technology. As for the other Celestial Dragons, hmph, they're just a bunch of idiots. They wouldn't care about them at all!
"Alright everyone! Next, we need to discuss our plan against the Whitebeard Pirates! We absolutely cannot let them continue to develop! Otherwise, that lord might be displeased!"
Upon hearing this, all Five Elders fell silent. They simply couldn't bear the wrath of that lord! But how easy was it to target the top-tier Whitebeard Pirates?
On the other side
Crescent Moon Island, the headquarters of the Whitebeard Pirates
"Wow! What a great place! Not only are the residents happy, but the environment is also wonderful!" The Big Mom surveyed the Whitebeard Pirates' headquarters as soon as she landed on the island.
There was none of the cloying sweetness of the Totto Land she had been looking for here. Instead, there were only lush, verdant trees, boundless vitality, and laughing pirates. To her surprise, many ordinary residents in the port greeted the Whitebeard Pirates smiles upon seeing them, and some even joked with them!
It's important to understand that although the residents of Big Mom's Totto Land often wear smiles, Big Mom, as Devil Fruit User, can naturally sense that their souls aren't as happy as they appear! The happiness displayed by these people on the island, however, is genuine! This alone makes Big Mom incredibly envious!
"Of course! Teach found this island, and after we landed on it, we didn't disturb the local residents' lives. In fact, we've been buying supplies from them for a long time, so naturally, they're very welcoming to us!" Marco, the 1st Division commander, was in charge of receiving Big Mom. Marco was naturally happy to show off his home in front of Big Mom Pirates, which was on par with the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Oh my god! Today is my precious daughter's wedding. I wonder how your Whitebeard Pirates are doing with the preparations?" Big Mom walked side by side with Marco, followed by her children. As for Povar, who was wearing a wedding dress, she naturally walked ahead of the other members of the Big Mom Pirates.
"Don't worry, we've made plenty of preparations! After all, this is Haruta's life-long event, so we can't be careless!" Marco chatted with Big Mom as they walked, discussing nothing more than the wedding arrangements and the future connection between the two pirate crews. But as they talked, Big Mom's attention suddenly shifted to Marco.
"Oh my god! Marco, I remember you're over 40, right? So, do you have a girl you like? You can pick any of my daughters except Smoothie!"
The Big Mom stared intently at Marco; she knew perfectly well what place this pineapple-headed boy held in Whitebeard's heart!
Even considering only strength, Marco, with a bounty of 1.6 billion (after the battle of Crescent Moon Island, the bounties of all the Whitebeard Pirates increased), is definitely the best choice to be a son-in-law! What's more, Marco's position in the Whitebeard Pirates is equivalent to the second-in-command! Only Blackbeard in the entire pirate crew can compare to him!
He could have been worthy of all his daughters, but Smoothie was the girl Teach hadn't chosen, and it would be too impolite to introduce her to Marco!
"Cough cough! Forget it! I don't have any plans to settle down right now!" Marco almost choked on a mouthful of phlegm from 1982. He listened to the Big Mom's advice with a headache, secretly thinking: Why do people always like to pressure others to get married when they reach a certain age?
Accompanied by Big Mom's voice, Marco and his group finally arrived at their destination. The guards greeted Marco with a smile and allowed him to lead Big Mom and her group into the Whitebeard Pirates' residence without any hesitation.
In the spacious square, countless flowers and bright red carpets were neatly arranged. Many tables were set up in the square, and at the largest table, Whitebeard sat at the head of the table, chatting and laughing with several captains while comforting the nervous Haruta.
"Pops, the guests have arrived!" Marco said, then walked straight to the table and sat down next to Ace.
"Oh my gosh! Whitebeard, it's been so long! After today, we'll be in-laws!" Big Mom's maniacal laughter echoed throughout the plaza. She slowly walked to the opposite side of Whitebeard and sat down in the huge chair that had been specially arranged for her. As for the other members of the Big Mom Pirates, they quickly chose tables closer to Big Mom, and the group took their seats!
"Is that guy Povar's fiancé? He's so short, how could he be worthy of my sister?!" Katakuri roared inwardly, his anger fueled by his own inadequacy! Insufficient strength to protect his family! If he were strong enough, why would his mother force his sister to marry someone she didn't love?
"Gurararara! It really has been a long time! But, Linlin, what are you doing bringing such a big cake? What? Do you think I'll leave you without dessert on my turf?" Although Whitebeard didn't like the Big Mom, he still had to give her some face for the sake of his precious son!
"Oh my gosh! This is a top-quality cake made by all the elite chefs of our Totto Land over three days and three nights! Such a good thing should naturally be shared! By the way, I heard from Blackbeard that your Whitebeard Pirates' Cherry Pie is absolutely amazing! I'll have to try it later!" the Big Mom said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Teach, who was standing to the side, became unhappy. "You've already eaten the Cherry Pie, what am I supposed to eat?"
But these were guests who had come from afar, and the Big Mom's daughter was about to marry Haruta, so naturally, she couldn't say such things!
So Teach nudged Thatch beside him. "Thatch, go to the kitchen and make the arrangements! Tell them to add some licorice to the Cherry Pie while they're making it!"
"What? You didn't have this habit when you ate Cherry Pie before!" Thatch said with a puzzled look, but because of their relationship, he still got up to instruct the chef.
Huh? You're asking why?
Well, there's no other reason, it's just that the Big Mom doesn't like licorice...
Teach: Cherry Pie? Here you go!
