The second half of the Grand Line: the New World.
This is the sea ruled by the Four Emperors, Big Mom. Centered on Whole Cake Island, it includes thirty-four islands and is known as the Land of Totto Land, encompassing all races.
Meanwhile, on Whole Cake Island, at the very center of the Grand Line, Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors who reigns over the latter half of the Grand Line Four Emperors the only female among them, nicknamed Big Mom, is sitting there eating a dessert.
" Mama, Mama, something's happened!"
Just then, a strange-looking thing, resembling a wooden doll, hopped over and rushed in front of Charlotte and Linlin, Four Emperors.
What's the matter that's causing such a panic?
Charlotte and Linlin, Four Emperors, seemed to be in a good mood. However, even when she smiled, her appearance was still chilling. It would be better if she could eat the Smooth-Smooth Fruit to change her form, but unfortunately, she is a user of the Soul-Soul Fruit, so it seems unlikely that she can make a living based on her looks.
After the chess piece soldier jumped over, he took out a newspaper and handed it to Charlotte Linlin.
Charlotte Linlin reached out and took the newspaper. After glancing at it, she narrowed her eyes and suddenly laughed, her laughter filled with contempt.
"Visiting Four Emperors? Who does he think he is?! A mere brat who only managed a draw with Hawk-Eye thinks he can stand on equal footing with me?!"
Although these words seemed to be spoken in anger, there was no anger in her tone. Instead, there was a kind of contempt and disdain, as if she didn't care to be angry about it at all.
"This kind of news can even make the newspapers? The navy is getting more and more decadent lately."
After shaking her head, she casually tossed the newspaper aside. She didn't care about the navy at all; she was in her base on Whole Cake Island and wasn't afraid of anyone attacking her.
As one of the Four Emperors, her only concern is how to defeat the other Four Emperors, reach Laugh Tale, and become the Pirate King!
"But, but... Mama, that guy has already arrived in the New World, and it seems his target is us..."
The chess piece soldier spoke somewhat anxiously, but in the next instant, its voice abruptly stopped, as it was picked up by someone and casually thrown away.
"Too long-winded."
The person who picked up the chess piece soldier and threw it out was Charlotte Linlin's tenth son, Charlotte Cracker, who is also one of the Four Sweet Commanders of the Four Emperors Big Mom Pirates, with a bounty of 860 million Belly.
After throwing the chess piece away, Cracker looked at Charlotte Linlin and said with a smile, " Mama, leave this to me. Please enjoy your dessert."
"Um."
Charlotte Linlin leaned back in her chair, continuing to eat her dessert, and gave a nonchalant reply. Then she suddenly said, "If you find it troublesome, you can invite Smoothie along."
"Hehehe, why would we need to deploy two Admirals to deal with a brat who's more than arrogant than he is? Besides, that guy's a Marine; we can just drive him away."
"Ha, hahaha, that's it. It's best to teach him an indelible lesson, to leave him with a deep impression so that he'll never dare to provoke me again." The Four Emperors Charlotte Linlin grinned maliciously.
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Cracker shouldered his sword, smirked, and turned to walk outside.
The second half of the Grand Line: the New World.
Beyond the territory of Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, in the waters of the Totto Land Island.
"Commander Ain, we're just ahead in the territory of Four Emperors, Big Mom. Are we really going in?"
The navy officer piloting the warship, cold sweat beading on his forehead, stared at the sea ahead and couldn't help but ask Ain beside him a question.
A normal large warship should have at least a vice admiral, and a medium-sized warship should have at least a commodore. However, the warship that Uya was on did not even have the standard personnel. The highest-ranking officer was Uya, and the next highest-ranking officer was Lieutenant Colonel Ain.
"Keep going."
After taking a deep breath, Ain calmly spoke.
Although she was somewhat apprehensive about entering the territory of the Four Emperors, she trusted Uya even more and was more determined. Having made her decision, she would not back down.
The navy officer piloting the warship hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and steered the warship into the territory of the Four Emperors!
Under normal circumstances, even the Navy would not voluntarily enter the territory of the Four Emperors. Any reconnaissance ship that enters the territory of the Four Emperors will almost always be lost at sea, unless it is a warship led by a Navy Admiral. Otherwise, warships that enter the territory of the Four Emperors will never return.
Upon entering the territory of the Four Emperors Big Mom, before even reaching the first island, the Exterminators of the Four Emperors Big Mom Pirates appeared on the sea!
This is a huge ship, no less large than a naval warship, but its appearance is quite strange, resembling a cake or pastry.
Upon seeing the pirate ship approaching from afar, Ain's expression changed slightly, and he said solemnly, "So they knew we were coming all along and were already prepared. We haven't even set foot on the first island yet, and the ambush has already arrived."
"The pirate ship of the Four Emperors Big Mom Pirates..."
Upon seeing the pirate ship sailing straight towards them in the distance, the ordinary marines on the warship all swallowed hard.
They are all marines, and they are not afraid of ordinary pirates. However, their reputation precedes them. This is the crew of Four Emperors who rule the second half of the Grand Line!
As the pirate ship drew closer, a naval lieutenant commander, whose rank was second only to Ain, suddenly trembled, dropped his binoculars to the ground.
"That... that is..."
He seemed to realize something, and a look of horror crossed his face as he stared at the pirate ship that was getting closer and closer in the distance.
Ain was wondering what he had seen, but gradually, as the pirate ship got closer and closer, everyone finally saw it. On the deck of the pirate ship, there stood a tall man with a rooster-comb-shaped helmet, a long black beard, and a long sword in his hand!
Now that their target was Four Emperors Big Mom Pirates Big Mom Pirates, almost everyone on the warship had some information about them.
Everyone, including Ain, instantly recognized the figure standing on the deck. Except for Ain, whose expression changed slightly, everyone else gasped.
" Charlotte Cracker, one of the Four Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates, has a bounty of 860 million Belly!"
"My god, how come we've already encountered pirates of this caliber so soon after we entered?!"
Even the naval lieutenant commander, whose rank was second only to Ain, was sweating profusely and trembling all over; the bounty alone was enough to terrify anyone.
Pirates with a bounty of over 100 million are already very troublesome, and usually only a Navy admiral-level officer can hunt them down. Pirates with a bounty of over 300 million are rare in the first half of the Grand Line, and even a Navy vice admiral would find it difficult to capture them.
As for pirates with bounties exceeding 500 million or even 800 million, they are practically feared by all!
"Hehehe, this warship is interesting. Why are there so few people on it?"
The tall figure standing on the deck of the pirate ship let out a strange laugh, which revealed a strong sense of arrogance.
"Could it be that the navy is worried about too many deaths, so they only sent this few people to die? That's a bit boring."
"Where's that guy who wanted to visit Mama? Why is he hiding inside and too scared to come out?!"
Cracker's cold laugh was filled with provocation and mockery.
For pirates, especially those with a bounty of over 100 million, there is almost no fear. They would not even be afraid of facing a Marine Admiral.
Pirates with bounties exceeding 300 million or even 500 million are almost all lawless and unruly.
Cracker knew a lot about Uya, but for a lawless pirate like him, what difference did it make if the Fleet Admiral were in his presence?!
What is a Uya? (To be continued.)
