Totto Land Whole Cake Island, as the clock struck nine in the morning, all those invited by Charlotte to the tea party gradually disembarked.
"Let's get started!"
"Let's get started!"
"Mom's tea party is about to begin!"
In the forests surrounding Whole Cake Island, the Homies, brought to life by Bigom, sang joyfully, their songs echoing throughout the island. The townspeople were also thrilled to welcome this grand tea party.
Ta-da-ta-da...
The pig-carrying express truck, carrying the passengers, hurriedly arrived.
clatter...
"Is it still not too late?"
"I shouldn't be late yet, it's Linlin's camellia party~"
"Yeah, but we need to hurry~"
Amidst the astonished gazes of the town's residents, the distinguished guests made a grand entrance.
They are respectively
Du Feld, the King of Loan Sharks God of Fortune.
[ Queen of the Pleasure District ] Stussy and the Mysterious Guest Mammon
[ Big Undertaker ] Drug Piekro
[ President of the World Economy News Paper ] Big News Morgans
[ King of Shipping ] Deep Ocean Current Umit
[ Warehouse Boss ] Concealer Giberson.
In addition, representatives from the other Four Emperors and the government came and presented gifts.
"La la la~ Welcome, kings of the Underworld! Taking the castle route might make you late, so please follow me and take a shortcut~"
Beneath the Whole Cake Chateau, Bigmon's eldest son, Perospero, greeted these dark giants.
"Oh, it's Perospero!"
"Hey~ If you don't mind, let me send you on your way, I'll use this~"
As Perospero spoke, he waved his hands to the side, and a large stream of liquid candy gushed out, forming a solidified and exquisitely beautiful candy staircase beside him.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
The townspeople were amazed by what they saw.
"Hmm~ No matter how many times I see it, Perospero, your candy-making skills are truly art..."
Stussy and the others also looked at the candy-shaped staircase in front of them with surprise, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Tsk~ You flatter me, everyone, please come in. Mom doesn't like waiting. You are the last guests~"
Receiving their praise, Perospero rubbed his nose with his finger and, somewhat embarrassed, gestured for them to join him.
"Oh, it's moving by itself!"
The group ascended Perospero's Candy Staircase, heading towards the tea party venue.
"Hey~ Remember to get along well with your friends~ Here, the candy stairs over here will be ready to eat in a few minutes~"
After the group slowly ascended the steps, Perospero suddenly produced more than a dozen candies and handed them to the children beside him, coaxing them with great affection.
Click click... snap!!
After Stussy and his group passed through the gate and entered the reception hall, the aroma of various delicacies and desserts immediately filled the air.
Suck~~
"It smells so good!"
"This place looks delicious!"
Several industry leaders sniffed, unable to resist the irresistible aroma.
"Oh~ welcome, everyone! How about some drinks? We have lava from Mount Mawri, a beautiful woman who killed a hundred men, and a giraffe with a peculiar cry~"
They were greeted by Sweet Commander Smoothie while seated in the living room.
"Hmm, I'll have a giraffe juice, please!"
"Me too!!"
The King of Loan Sharks were very familiar with the Minister of Juice, one of the Charlotte Family's most prominent figures, and they didn't stand on ceremony with her. They stepped forward, took the wine glass, and offered it to her.
"Coming right now!!"
Smoothie stood up and activated her power on the neck of the giraffe that was bound.
"Wow!"
The giraffe's neck twisted and contracted instantly, causing it to let out a pitiful and peculiar cry.
Tick-tock...
Tick-tock...
Drops of juice-like liquid flowed down, caught by several people. They elegantly savored the unforgettable taste of the drink in their cups while listening to the strange sounds coming from beside them, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Perfect! The wonderful sound and unforgettable taste are simply exquisite!!"
Except for Stussy, who was elegantly sipping his drink and juice, everyone else gulped it down and then burst into laughter.
clang!!
"Oh, time's almost up~ Mom's coming too..."
The 9:30 alarm sounded, and the door leading to the BIGMOM room opened, revealing Charlotte Linlin. Everyone immediately became alert and looked towards her.
"Welcome, everyone, from so far away! Please look around; there's a dazzling array of snacks. Please enjoy yourselves and make the most of everything that's happening today..."
The Big Mom spread her hands, gesturing to the surrounding area, where a wide array of desserts and delicacies came into view, and called out loudly.
"The refreshments are ready, and all the decorations are in place. Please take your seats, everyone—even the nuns!!"
Seeing that all the arrangements were complete, the Big Mom invited the guests to take their seats and prepare to begin today's tea party.
"Hmm, the nun seems quite happy too, though I have no idea who she is~"
Someone unaware of the facts wanted to use this to test the identity of the nun in the photo and flatter her.
"Yes, yes, yes... That's right, the nun is a ray of light in my world!!"
The Big Mom hadn't expected him to be testing her. She was very pleased by the flattery and recalled fond memories as she spoke.
"Um, this is my first time attending a tea party. I wonder what your relationship is with that nun, Big Mom?"
This clueless fellow thought he could use this to probe the person's identity, so without a second thought, he directly asked her about the nun's identity.
"Don't even think about trying to find out my information!!"
However, after he asked that question, the Big Mom's expression instantly turned cold, and her words, laced with Conqueror's Haki, exploded in his mind.
"Ah!!"
Thump...
This person was just a weakling who couldn't withstand the Impact the Big Mom's Conqueror's Haki. He only had time to let out a scream before collapsing, foaming at the mouth.
"Alright, alright, let's keep things separate. We brought you a gift, Charlotte!!"
Taking advantage of the situation, the King of Loan Sharks smoothed things over, holding up the treasure chest he was offering with both hands, and said...
"Yes, I brought you a gift too, Linlin!!"
Stussy also took the opportunity to ease the tension.
"It's a treasure chest! Thank you so much! You always bring me gifts every time you come. I'm so happy, thank you!!"
When the Big Mom saw Stussy and the others place the treasure chest next to her, her eyes lit up, and she jumped for joy like a child, instantly easing the tension in the room.
"Cheers!!"
"Dry!!"
As the tea party began, the guests and members of the Charlotte Family all became cheerful, raising their glasses and clinking them together.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is another important matter I wish to announce today: Neptune of Fish-Man Island has presented gifts to my Charlotte Family, and from now on, Fish-Man Island will belong to my Charlotte Family..."
"Oh my god, this is huge news! Fish-Man Island has actually sided with Charlotte after the death of Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors! Amazing information!!"
Big News Morgans, standing in the crowd, couldn't resist taking out a pen and paper to write this down.
"Alright, quiet down, and listen to what I have to say next!"
The Big Mom gestured to the agitated crowd to quiet down.
After the Big Mom spoke, the group fell silent again, listening attentively to what she was about to announce.
