In the New World, on Totto Land Whole Cake Island, the Big Mom Pirates, everything is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations in preparation for Big Mom's tea party.
On Whole Cake Island, one can often see notorious pirates whose bounties are on their heads; they are all Lot Linlin's children.
Big Mom Linlin had a whopping 46 sons and 39 daughters, the most famous of whom were Katakuri, Perospero, Cracker, Smoothie Lot, and so on.
Although Big Mom are Lot Linlin's children, they are also her warriors. In Lot Linlin's eyes, her children are not much different from others.
They are nothing more than tools for ruling, serving as warriors or for marriage alliances.
The entire surface of Whole Cake Island was covered with various desserts, including some buildings, while squads of Homies patrolled and transported supplies.
At the enormous dessert gate, the person in charge of receiving guests this time was Perospero, the eldest son of the Big Mom.
Almost every pirate who comes here calls him "brother," and Perospero is fairly kind to his brothers and sisters.
In addition, many leaders of powerful forces came with numerous gifts, and Perospero received them as well.
Although he didn't pay much attention to ordinary forces and just nodded with a smile, Perospero was very enthusiastic when people like Stussy, Big News Morgans, and nobles from other countries came, and he couldn't stop talking.
Although he's a chatterbox and can strike up a conversation with anyone, he possesses the sense of responsibility and mission of the Charlotte Family elder brother.
Just as Perospero finished greeting the guests and was smiling as he watched his younger siblings return, three figures emanating powerful auras appeared.
They are Lot Katakuri, Lot Smoothie, and Lot Cracker, the Sweet Commanders of the Charlotte Family.
"Brother Perospero, you're in charge of the reception this time!"
Katakuri, whose expression remained perpetually serious, stepped forward and began speaking with Perospero.
"Hehehe, it's the three of you. Why did you come all together? There are quite a few powerful individuals among the guests invited this time. As the eldest son of the Charlotte Family, I must come to greet them."
"Hmph, what kind of strongmen are they? They're just all talk and no action. We are the truly powerful ones!"
Cracker, one of the Three Sweet Commanders, said nonchalantly, while Smoothie took out a glass of juice from somewhere and silently drank it.
" Cracker, this time is different from before. Besides the leaders of those major forces, who else has been invited this time?"
Katakuri, with a serious expression, reminded Cracker something.
"Hmph, it's just a merchant guild. So what if they wiped out the three kings of the underworld? We can do the same."
"Besides, that so-called Hidden Emperor Lin Yuan is overhyped. I've hardly ever seen him make a move. If you ask me, does such a guy even deserve to be compared to Mom?"
Just as Cracker was ranting and raving about the " Abyss " Merchant Guild, Lin Yuan in the sky narrowed his eyes slightly.
Enel, who was about to charge forward in anger upon hearing these words, stopped what he was doing and looked pitifully at Cracker below.
" Tesoro, Enel, Naguri, you three can go ahead and make yourselves at home."
"Okay, let's go there first, and then we'll make our move tonight as planned."
After saying that, the three of them disappeared above the Flame Clouds, and when they made their move again, they had already arrived at Whole Cake Island.
Upon the sudden appearance of the three, some Homies and pirates immediately came to inquire about the situation, and the pirates even wanted to search the three.
Enel showed no mercy to his opponent, unleashing several bolts of lightning that instantly felled a large number of people around him.
The commotion immediately attracted the attention of many people, and their expressions changed drastically. This was the first time anyone had dared to cause trouble on Whole Cake Island.
As for Tesoro and his two companions, they completely ignored the gazes around them and headed straight for the city gate.
The Perospero and others in charge of receiving the guests also changed their expressions. When they saw who it was, everyone except Cracker showed a hint of solemnity.
Perospero was about to step forward to greet him, even Cracker stepped forward and said arrogantly.
"How dare you! You're courting death!"
As he spoke, he prepared to step forward and teach Tesoro and the other two a lesson.
Although Perospero found Cracker a bit impatient, he also wanted to see the strength of the " Abyss " Merchant Guild. Moreover, judging from the three of them, they didn't seem to have brought any gifts, so it would be good for Cracker to test them out.
As for Katakuri and Smoothie, they seemed to have the same idea, standing still without making a move.
As for Tesoro, Enel sneered at Cracker as he charged towards him, and was about to make a move when Naguri stepped forward.
"Hehe, it's been a long time since I've done anything, so leave it to me!"
Upon hearing this, Tesoro and Enel immediately stopped what they were doing, not expecting Naguri to be so proactive this time.
However, considering the other party's strength, they sensibly nodded. After all, Naguri's strength was in no way inferior to Zephyr's, and he was among the top three in the merchant guild.
"An old bastard, how dare he be so arrogant! Die!"
Cracker completely disregarded Naguri, a cruel smile on his face, and threw a punch directly at him.
The moment Naguri stepped forward, Perospero had a feeling of familiarity.
As the eldest son of the Charlotte Family, although he was not the strongest, he had much more experience than others, Naguri's memories flashed through his mind.
"Who is he? Naguri! Cracker, stop!"
At the same time, a fleeting thought flashed through Katakuri's eyes, who had been observing all along. His expression changed drastically, and his body vanished from the spot in an instant.
His Observation Haki was so powerful that he could Future Sight. Although it only lasted a few seconds, to his horror, Cracker couldn't even last a single round against his opponent.
Although Naguri looks much younger now, he still looks like a middle-aged man, and his height has returned to its peak.
A glint flashed in his eyes, and the aura unique to the Emperor level erupted from his body. He spread his five fingers and slapped out.
"Armed Wind-Splitting Palm!"
Under the powerful aura unleashed by Naguri, Cracker's expression changed drastically as he rushed towards him, instantly switching from an offensive stance to a defensive one.
Katakuri was also rushing over, but Naguri didn't give him a chance to help.
"Bang!"
Naguri's movements seemed slow, yet Cracker felt he couldn't dodge them; he felt a tremendous force strike him, followed by a sharp pain on his face.
Under everyone's shocked gaze, Naguri's large, black-glowing hand slapped Cracker across the face, visibly distorting the man's features.
Then Cracker was sent flying, his nose and mouth covered in blood.
"Boom..."
With another loud crash, Cracker's body slammed into the city wall, becoming completely embedded in the dessert.
At that moment, Katakuri appeared, watching Naguri warily and stopping him from continuing his attack.
However, Naguri didn't seem to have any intention of continuing. After knocking Cracker, he leisurely withdrew his hand, glanced at Katakuri, and said with a smile.
"Not bad, kid. Your strength is comparable to Yamato and the others. Your Observation Haki even allows you to Future Sight. Not bad."
Katakuri was not blinded by the praise; instead, he tensed up, ready to strike at any moment.
At this moment, Perospero and Smoothie also arrived quickly. Perospero stopped Katakuri's actions and then looked at Naguri with a smile.
"You're Mr. Naguri! I never expected you to come in person. My mother will be so happy to hear that."
"Hehe, Perospero, it's been decades! You must be almost fifty by now!"
"Yes, that's right, but you still look so young!"
Perospero was also somewhat surprised by Naguri's appearance, as he looked much younger than the bounty suggested.
"Alright, we're here for Linlin's tea party, won't you invite us in for a seat?"
Although they had met before, Naguri had no intention of continuing the conversation.
"Hehehe, I'm so sorry, Mr. Naguri, Chief Tesoro, Mr. Enel, please come in."
Tesoro and his two companions didn't stand on ceremony and walked straight over. Enel even glared fiercely at Cracker, who had just been detained.
"Watch your mouth from now on. You can't just talk like that about your brother. If you do it again, I'll turn you into a baked cookie!"
