New World, Totto Land.
On the vast and endless sea, in a spacious port bay, ships of all sizes came and went without end.
In front was a prosperous island that exuded a rich and sweet aroma, decorated with various cream, cake, and donut-shaped buildings.
On the streets of the island, a variety of strange and quirky people came and went. There were little people, Longarm Tribe members, Longleg Tribe members, Fishmen, and even Oni with long horns on their heads. Being here was like entering a dreamland where all races coexisted.
Not only that, but the flowers, plants, and trees planted on both sides of the streets all had human faces. Cheerful and sweet songs drifted from these personified inanimate objects, floating melodiously over the town.
This was Whole Cake Island, the territory of one of the Four Emperors of the New World, the sea overlord who owned thirty-five islands in Totto Land, Big Mom, Charlotte Linlin!
At this moment, in the towering cylindrical cake tower in the center of Whole Cake Island, the annual Totto Land tea party was being held as scheduled.
Sitting at the head of a huge round table that could seat fifty people was a fat and bloated woman who resembled a pile of meat. She was the empress of Totto Land, the captain of the Big Mom Pirates, Big Mom, Charlotte Linlin!
"Mama-mama-ma! The desserts are so delicious this year!"
Charlotte Linlin's mouth, which was constantly drooling, was wide open. With her fat hands, she grabbed the cream cakes on the table and continuously stuffed them into her mouth.
A look of intoxicated enjoyment appeared on her chubby face. Without even making a swallowing motion, a large amount of sweet, white cream slid directly down her throat into her stomach, making the happiness in Charlotte Linlin's heart grow thicker and thicker.
The abundance of delicious food brought tears to Charlotte Linlin's eyes. As she devoured the desserts in front of her, she looked at a photograph on the table.
The photograph was of an old nun with a kind smile.
"Sister, do you see? Everyone is sitting together happily, enjoying delicious food. This is the beautiful future you always wanted to see, right?"
To her right sat several leaders of the underworld with smiling faces.
Among them were Morgans, the boss of the world's largest newspaper agency; Stussy, the queen of the world's largest pleasure district; the Sea King, and a human trafficker.
To her left sat several men and women with fierce auras.
As she ate, Charlotte Linlin suddenly frowned. She looked at a huge empty plate beside her and said with displeasure, "Katakuri, why are the Fishman Island desserts gone? I only had a little."
She opened her bloodshot eyes and looked at the man closest to her on the left.
The man, the leader of the Sweet Commanders, Katakuri, who was wearing an outfit full of heavy metal style with a studded and silver-chained leather vest and a pair of high, pointed leather boots, was not affected by his mother's ferocious aura at all. He replied in a calm and steady voice.
"Mama, have you forgotten? When Kaido and Whitebeard went to war recently, it was because Jack the Drought invaded Fishman Island and caused a lot of damage there. The dessert factory on Fishman Island was severely damaged at that time, which affected the normal production of desserts. So, Fishman Island only provided one-tenth of its usual amount of desserts for this tea party."
"One-tenth?" Charlotte Linlin's eyes immediately widened. A terrifying aura, like a tsunami, rushed out of her bloated body, making the faces of the underworld leaders beside her turn pale and unable to breathe.
"Is Neptune's Ryugu Kingdom trying to die? How dare they fool me. Katakuri, send people to Fishman Island for me. If they don't give me the desserts I want, I'll have them destroy that wretched place."
Charlotte Linlin's sharp voice rang in everyone's ears, making her other children not even dare to breathe.
Only Katakuri nodded silently, indicating that he understood.
"Linlin, calm down, calm down. Don't let such a small matter ruin the happy mood of the tea party," Stussy, the beautiful and petite Queen of the Pleasure District, who was wearing a white hat and a silk scarf, said softly, looking up.
Charlotte Linlin nodded. She was about to reach for the mountain of desserts in front of her.
But at that moment, Katakuri, who had been sitting with his legs crossed, suddenly changed his expression. Without a second thought, he stood up abruptly, waved his large hand, and white mochi balls gushed out of his hand, quickly shooting up to form a huge domed ceiling above everyone's heads.
The sudden change made the people sitting next to Katakuri a little stunned.
Pudding, who had three eyes, looked over in confusion. "Brother Katakuri, what are you doing?"
Katakuri didn't answer. His face became unusually grave, and he shouted at his younger siblings.
"Move away!"
Everyone was stunned and at a loss.
The next moment, the dozens of floors of the cake tower were pierced directly by an unparalleled force. Layer after layer of thick floors shattered like paper.
Amidst the rumbling explosions, a large amount of bricks and stones shattered and flew everywhere. Everyone was horrified to see the ceiling of the hall crack inch by inch, covered in countless cracks, and then shattered with a loud bang the next second.
In the flying dust, a burly figure came crashing down, causing the mochi balls Katakuri had just released to explode all over the place.
Charlotte Linlin, who was still stuffing cream cakes into her mouth, was hit squarely on the head by the giant figure falling from above. The immense force slammed her massive body heavily onto the table in front of her.
To everyone's horror, her big face was planted directly into the cream all over the table.
Then, the entire round table, which was piled high with desserts and food, shattered, and countless delicious foods were scattered everywhere.
"Who is that?! How dare you attack Mama!" The eldest son of the Charlotte family, Perospero, shrieked, sticking his tongue out.
At once, the members of the Charlotte family, who were afraid that their mother would punish them for this sudden shock, all pulled out their weapons with angry expressions and looked at the center of the chaotic hall.
Katakuri was the first to react. His fists were clenched, his pupils contracted, and he looked up at the terrifying figure that was slowly getting up in the flying dust.
"Wororororo." A burly giant with two horns on his head let out a muffled, strange laugh that echoed in the hall like thunder.
"He... he... he is..." Morgans and the others, who had dodged to the side, were all scared to the point of turning pale. The birdman Morgans was incoherent, his eyes filled with disbelief, but his hands were not slow at all. As if out of professional habit, he took off the camera hanging on his chest and pointed it at the burly giant who was getting up in the dust.
"It's all because of that old bastard Shiki, wororororo. If you fly while you're drunk, it's easy to get lost, wororororo."
The demon-like figure let out a burp, a strong smell of alcohol coming from his mouth. He opened his cloudy eyes and looked at Charlotte Linlin, whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot as she stood up, covered in cream and desserts. He asked with a hint of confusion, "Linlin? What are you doing here?"
As the smoke and dust cleared, everyone's eyes were filled with horror.
"K... Kaido!! It's Kaido the Beast!" "One of the Four Emperors, just like Mama!"
Perospero's hands were shaking so much that he dropped his weapon. The other brothers and sisters behind him all had pale faces.
Only a few people, like Katakuri, stood at the forefront with cold expressions, staring at Kaido.
Charlotte Linlin's teeth ground together. Her thick right hand suddenly clenched, and her fist turned jet black, with streaks of terrifying black and red lightning flashing on it. She threw a punch at Kaido's face.
"Kaido! What the hell are you doing?! How dare you ruin my tea party! Unforgivable!"
Rumble!
The shockwave from her punch roared through the hall, and the chaotic air slammed into the cake tower, making it crack and tremble.
The punch, which was flashing with terrifying energy, landed squarely on Kaido's face, sending his burly body flying back like a cannonball. He crashed through the wall behind him, creating a huge hole, and continued to fly backward without losing speed.
With a series of thunderous, earth-shattering explosions, Kaido's burly body flew backward, skimming the streets of Whole Cake Island for hundreds of meters and smashing all the beautiful buildings in his path.
The loud sound was like thunder, echoing over Whole Cake Island and startling everyone on the island. Their faces were filled with horror as they looked at the cake tower, not knowing what had happened.
At the end of the broken path, Kaido lay on his back in the rubble, covering his head with his hand. He slowly sat up.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In his line of sight, the ground rumbled, and a fat figure with a violent and angry aura was walking toward him, like a ferocious tyrannosaur, charging toward him with a menacing presence.
As she walked, Charlotte Linlin took off the captain's hat on her head and turned it into a huge sword, Napoleon. The blade was wrapped in a powerful Haki, and she raised it high, slashing down at Kaido.
The terrifying presence immediately sobered Kaido up.
He stood up, took the heavy, spiked club from his waist, spat a mouthful of blood on the ground, and with his arm muscles bulging, he swung his club to meet the huge sword that Charlotte Linlin was bringing down.
"Linlin, you're still as beautiful as ever."
"Kaido! You're asking to die!"
The earth-shattering auras, like two volcanoes, erupted in an instant. The storm-like auras on Kaido's and Charlotte Linlin's mountain-like bodies expanded with a roar. Like a hurricane, they swept across the entire island in an instant. Even the seawater outside the island was hit by the expanding black and red spheres of light, raising giant waves dozens of meters high.
Charlotte Linlin's sword, Napoleon, slashed down with the power to cut through everything.
"Elbaf's Spear! Ikoku!"
Kaido's club swung from the bottom up, as if to smash the heavens.
"Thunder Bagua!"
The sword and the club clashed in mid-air.
Clang!
Amidst the thunderous, earth-shattering clash, a violent shockwave, like a Category 15 hurricane, swept in all directions, instantly clearing an area of several hundred meters around where the two of them had clashed.
With the clash point as the center, all the buildings, people, and streets on Whole Cake Island were blown away.
Perospero covered his face from the impact of the wind and shrieked, "Damn it! Why is Kaido the Beast on Whole Cake Island? Are the Beast Pirates going to war with us? Where were the lookouts? Did they not see the Beast Pirates' army?"
"No! Ever since the last conflict with the Whitebeard Pirates, the Beast Pirates have returned to Wano Country and haven't been seen on the sea!" Charlotte Daifuku, who had a shaved head, shouted.
"Brother Katakuri! What should we do?" The only female of the Sweet Commanders, Charlotte Smoothie, frowned and looked at Katakuri.
Katakuri's frown slowly relaxed. He waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Don't be nervous. Kaido isn't here to start a war with us. Big Brother Perospero, have someone go and calm down the residents on the island. Don't worry about the rest."
He turned and looked toward the sea on his right, his eyes flashing.
"Some old acquaintances of Mama's have arrived. Have someone clean up. The tea party will resume."
Everyone was stunned when they heard Katakuri's words.
"Brother Katakuri, are you serious? Kaido the Beast is still fighting Mama..."
Charlotte Brûlée's face was full of shock, but Katakuri cut her off with a wave of his hand.
"Just do as I say."
Just then, a pirate of the Big Mom Pirates shouted from the port of Whole Cake Island.
"Wang Zhi's Pirates have arrived!"
"Wang Zhi? How could that old man..." Perospero was surprised.
In the center of Whole Cake Island, on the shattered rubble, Charlotte Linlin's sword was pressed against Kaido's tight grip on his club. She glared at Kaido with bloodshot eyes.
"Kaido! What are you doing in my Totto Land?"
Kaido grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. "Of course, I came to see you, old hag."
"How dare you call me an old hag?! Have you forgotten the favor I did you back then, you impolite bastard!"
Charlotte Linlin gritted her teeth in anger. She was about to slash with her sword, Napoleon, again, but she saw that Kaido had put his club back at his waist, which made her freeze.
Kaido twisted his neck, pointed to the sky, and said, "Worororo, I'm not playing with you anymore, you old hag who can't take a joke. That old bastard Shiki needs to talk to you."
"Shiki?"
Charlotte Linlin put down her sword and looked up at the sky, where she saw a familiar golden-haired figure quickly descending from the sky and landing on the open ground beside them.
A hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.
"Mama-mama-ma, it really is you, Shiki. You're not dead yet?"
"Zehahaha, not yet. Since you're not dead yet, you fat old hag, how can I bear to die?" Golden Lion laughed out loud.
"What do you want with me?" Charlotte Linlin turned her sword back into a captain's hat and put it on her head. She looked Golden Lion up and down, and her thickly lipsticked mouth curved into a strange smile. "You're not with that stinking woman Rose and you're here looking for me. Did you finally come to your senses and want to have a son with me?"
Golden Lion's mouth twitched, and a vein popped out on his forehead.
"Don't dream, Linlin. I can't satisfy your appetite. You can ask Newgate."
"Mama-mama-ma, you never tried, how would you know, Shiki?"
As Charlotte Linlin laughed strangely, the air on the open ground beside the three of them suddenly fluctuated. A three-meter-tall figure suddenly appeared, showing up in front of the three of them.
"Wang Zhi, you've arrived, too. Good. Now, let's talk about how we're going to turn this boring world upside down! Zehahaha!"
Golden Lion's smile grew wider as he looked at the newcomer.
The entire world around the four of them seemed to turn dim.
In a corner in the distance, Stussy's eyes widened as she watched the four people.
"This is big. The Rocks Pirates are about to reappear in the world."
