An Unexpected Guest, What Do You Think My Dream Is?
All members of the Big Mom Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates took their seats. Although everyone was chatting with their companions, their attention was always occasionally drawn to Whitebeard and Big Mom.
"Oh my god! Whitebeard, your captains aren't young anymore, are they? How about it? Any thoughts of settling down? I have so many daughters, they can choose whichever they like!" To outsiders, the Big Mom seemed incredibly generous, but in her children's eyes, a deeper sense of sorrow lingered...
They looked enviously at the laughing and joking members of the Whitebeard Pirates around them. They and Whitebeard were probably the real family, while they themselves... aside from a blood relation with Big Mom, they seemed to have received no love or care whatsoever...
"Mom..." The sigh in his heart felt like a demonic claw, gripping Katakuri's heart tightly, making it hard for him to breathe.
"Gurarara! Although my sons are not young anymore, and I do want them to get married as soon as possible, marriage is a matter for them to choose for themselves. All I can do is pick out some blind dates for them!" Clearly, the Whitebeard was quite dissatisfied with the Big Mom's actions, but after all, it was their family matter, and the Whitebeard didn't bother to say anything more.
Hearing their Pops' words, all the team leaders breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, even though their Pops wanted grandchildren, they weren't being forced to. At least they had the right to choose!
"Alright, alright! It's about time, let's proceed with the wedding!" Seeing this, the Big Mom couldn't insist. After all, this was Whitebeard's territory. If it were anyone else, Big Mom might have used force to subdue them, but that old man was Whitebeard! His strength alone was enough to defeat her, not to mention the menacing Blackbeard beside him! If she angered them, well, the Big Mom would have to lose a few teeth!
Looking at the incredibly nervous Haruta sitting beside him, Whitebeard laughed heartily. He then instructed a few men to take Haruta away to prepare. Meanwhile, other invited guests arrived one after another, including numerous powerful figures, and even the Red the Aloof had been invited by Whitebeard!
"One is the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, and the other is the nineteenth daughter of the Big Mom Pirates! Does their union signify an alliance between the two pirate crews? Ah! This kind of Big News Morgans is truly exhilarating!" Clearly, the one who could utter such words is none other than Morgans, the self-proclaimed "Big News Morgans" expert! Given Big Mom's personality, this kind of thing would naturally be announced to the world through Morgans! Moreover, Morgans himself is no ordinary person; he is one of the emperors of the Underworld, the president of the World Economy News Paper!
"You lot, record everything! If you mess this up, I'll kick you out of the news agency! Of course, if you capture any Big News Morgans, I'll reward him with 10 million Beli!" As a fanatical journalist, Morgans naturally wouldn't be stingy with money! That alone Teach much more generous than Teach! (Teach: I'm the main character, okay? Don't I have any dignity?)
It must be said that this combination of carrot and stick was extremely effective. The experienced reporters he brought with them all had their eyes gleaming as they carefully observed everything around them, afraid of missing the opportunity to win a reward!
As each guest invited by Big Mom and Whitebeard arrived, the wedding atmosphere gradually built to a climax. The invited guests were either powerful underground tycoons or fierce and ruthless pirates, and there were also many merchants engaged in illegal business, but notably, no human traffickers were present! After all, Whitebeard utterly despised human traffickers! No human trafficker who entered Whitebeard's territory ever left alive!
Then, the bride and groom entered, bringing the wedding to its climax. After a series of routine procedures, the most anticipated part finally arrived: the banquet!
A plethora of food and fine wines were served, and of course, all the guests simply ate elegantly, spending most of their time boasting about their businesses to those around them or discussing potential collaborations—it was just like a high-society banquet!
But the pirates were different. Compared to the other guests, they were more casual and generous! After all, it was a day to be happy, so naturally they had to have a good drink! Laughter echoed throughout the square, and even Whitebeard couldn't stop smiling!
Gulalalalala! I'm about to become a grandfather! Wait! Why did I say "also"?
If we're talking about the most eye-catching people in the entire square, it has to be Teach and the Big Mom!
The food on their table was visibly decreasing, and the chefs responsible for serving the food were extremely busy!
"Hehehehe! The Cherry Pie here!" Teach's eyes gleamed with excitement as he watched the chef carry a huge platter piled high with Cherry Pie.
But
He wasn't the only one with eyes gleaming with desire! Big Mom, standing nearby, had long wanted to try the Cherry Pie that Teach had raved about in the Whitebeard Pirates. Gazing at the brightly colored and enticingly fragrant Cherry Pie, Big Mom's saliva dripped from the corners of her mouth, falling to the ground like a stream of water. Big Mom saliva even seemed to corrode the earth like sulfuric acid, leaving it pitted and scarred! It looked utterly gruesome!
"Hehehe! Guests are guests, so let's send this plate of Cherry Pie to the Big Mom first!" Teach was unusually generous, while the captains and Whitebeard beside him raised their eyebrows slightly, as if a big question mark had appeared above their heads!
When Teach become so generous?
This was the question in everyone's mind! But what happened next completely resolved their doubts!
"Mmm, mmm, mmm! These Cherry Pie look so tempting! I won't be polite then!" The Big Mom grabbed a Cherry Pie in each hand, opened her mouth wide, threw the Cherry Pie into her mouth, and began to chew them heartily!
But the next second, the Big Mom's face changed! Then, she spat out the Cherry Pie, which had already turned into a mushy mess!
"Ew!" Teach showed a look of disgust, while Thatch, who was standing next to him, seemed to have thought of something and looked at Teach while trying to suppress his laughter.
"Ptooey! There's licorice in this! It tastes awful!" The Big Mom picked up a bottle of liquor and started rinsing her mouth. At that moment, Whitebeard and the others finally understood Teach's scheme!
It seems this kid is still as possessive of his food as ever...
"Oh my! How lively! I wonder if I, an uninvited guest, could mooch a meal here?" A familiar voice rang out from the entrance, and everyone turned to look. Instantly, the sound of food falling to the ground was like a continuous raindrop!
"Former Marine HQ Admiral! Kuzan!"
