Kate and Feiluo were both dumbfounded.
Everything had happened too quickly.
Before they could even recover, the arrogant members of the Big Mom Pirates had been defeated.
These were members of the Big Mom Pirates!
And all of them were Big Mom's sons. Cracker was even a Sweet Commander of the Big Mom Pirates.
Yet Zesi had dealt with them in just a few moves.
They couldn't help wondering whether these people really belonged to the Big Mom Pirates.
"I didn't actually kill him, did I? Hmm, probably not. I held back, after all. If he still died from that, then he deserved to die."
"Besides, Big Mom has such a monstrous constitution. Her sons must have inherited at least some of it."
"If I really killed him, then we'll have no choice but to go to war. It'd be a shame to lose such a good buyer, though," Zesi said, glancing at the clock tower in the center of town.
Honestly, for anyone in the dessert business, there were no customers in the entire pirate world more suitable than Totto Land.
Provided, of course, that they paid for their purchases.
"Zesi, we're not really going to war with Totto Land, are we?" Kate asked nervously.
Kate was utterly unwilling to go to war with Totto Land.
Never mind whether they could win.
Even if they could, even if they defeated the Big Mom Pirates, what would they gain?
When that happened, not only would the Brunei Family lose its supply business,
but the dessert ingredients they had increased production of and stockpiled to meet Totto Land's needs would also cause the Brunei Family enormous losses.
"Who knows? Big Mom is a lunatic you can't judge by common sense!" Zesi said with a smile.
As he spoke, he moved his feet and shot toward the distant clock tower.
Before long, he returned carrying someone.
It was none other than Cracker, whom Zesi had sent flying with a punch.
Zesi casually tossed Cracker onto the ground.
Then Zesi took out a Den Den Mushi and made a call.
He had just searched Cracker and found this Den Den Mushi, which Cracker used to contact Big Mom.
Zesi's call connected directly to Big Mom.
"Cracker?" Big Mom's voice came through the Den Den Mushi.
"Yo, Big Mom. Long time no see!" Zesi said.
Hearing Zesi's words, Kate and Feiluo were both astonished.
Big Mom was actually on the other end of the Den Den Mushi!
She was that vicious, infamous great pirate of the New World. Even after doing business with Totto Land for so many years, Kate had never met Big Mom.
Yet Zesi had called Big Mom directly.
"Mamamama, Natural Disaster Zesi!" Hearing Zesi's voice, Big Mom's lips curled into a sinister smile.
As Big Mom's sinister voice came through the Den Den Mushi, Kate and Feiluo both went rigid.
It was as if Big Mom's terrifying presence had reached them through the Den Den Mushi.
Meanwhile, in Totto Land.
Perospero and Katakuri stood beside Big Mom, their faces anxious.
When Perospero learned that Cracker had gone to see the Brunei Family, he knew he could no longer keep the matter hidden. He hurried to find Katakuri so they could explain it to Big Mom.
Big Mom had been furious when she heard.
Not long ago, Roger had stolen Big Mom's Poneglyph, reached Laugh Tale ahead of her, and become the Pirate King whom everyone marveled at.
The Pirate King-Big Mom wanted that title too.
But she really didn't dare go up against the Roger Pirates.
Their last encounter had truly left her reeling.
Now, hearing news of Natural Disaster Zesi, that anger welled up inside her.
But thinking of Zesi's ability, Big Mom forced that anger down.
Sometimes Big Mom had a child's temper, sunny one moment and stormy the next.
But at times, Big Mom could also be very cunning and calm.
She wasn't afraid to fight anyone else, not even the Marines.
But Zesi's ability was somewhat troublesome.
It was said that not long ago, Golden Lion's Flying Fleet had surrounded Roger in the Edd War Sea with overwhelming numbers.
One ship had faced dozens of ships and many of the New World's renowned great pirates.
When the situation became incredibly dire, Zesi had raised a massive tsunami and wiped out more than half of Golden Lion's fleet in one stroke.
Only then had Roger escaped Golden Lion's encirclement, allowing him to complete his voyage around the world.
Although Big Mom didn't think she would fear Zesi, she was no longer the pirate she once was, who could simply hide somewhere out at sea where no one could find her.
She now had her own Totto Land, a country that held her dream.
No matter how confident she was, she didn't think she could stop Zesi's massive tsunami from sweeping over Totto Land.
So, after her anger subsided, Big Mom was about to follow Perospero's advice and call Cracker and the others back.
Just then, a call came from Cracker's Den Den Mushi.
But the voice that came through wasn't Cracker's.
Big Mom immediately knew that someone had defeated Cracker, and that person was, needless to say, Zesi.
"Mamamama, are Cracker and the others all right?"
"They're fine for now. They're just asleep. Whether they'll stay fine depends on our conversation."
"Hehehehe, Natural Disaster Zesi, I invite you to visit my Totto Land and discuss cooperation between Totto Land and the Brunei Family!"
"Thank you for the invitation. I'll bring Cracker and the others along. After all, I'm not very familiar with the way to Totto Land. Things will go more smoothly with them guiding me!"
"Of course. I'll be waiting for you in Totto Land. Mamamama!"
"Then I'll see you in Totto Land!"
Then the two hung up their Den Den Mushi.
"Feiluo, come with me to Totto Land in a few days!" Zesi said.
"Oh, okay!" Feiluo replied, only then coming back to his senses.
