Under all kinds of weird personalities, a very strange scene finally appeared on the Cake Island.
A birdman was taking pictures everywhere with a camera, hoping to find an opportunity to fabricate a big news.
Although Morgans is very brave and dares to reveal things that the world government prohibits from being exposed, and sometimes he is even a little strangely persistent, neither the threat of force nor the temptation of money can shake his determination to expose the incident.
But when there is no big news, he also has the ability to fabricate stories out of thin air and cause contradictions. Exaggeration and embellishment are the norm for him. Even the editor of UC Browser is not as good as him in attracting attention.
The other cat man was holding a notebook and writing something down, but he was turning the pages very quickly.
Although Kate didn't have a camera, she could sketch, and her sketching speed was even comparable to Morgans' camera.
In a sense, the cat and the bird are doing the same thing. The biggest difference is that there is a photo of Orlan in Morgans' camera, and Kate also has a bird head drawn by Morgans on her notebook.
The venue for the tea party has already been arranged. Just looking at the decoration, you can't tell that this is a pirate's territory, but more like a fairy tale town.
The tables in the venue were filled with desserts and tea, and were also filled with people of all kinds. However, most of these people looked nervous. They didn't know why Charlotte Lingling suddenly started this so-called tea party.
Some people didn't want to come, but after the invitation was sent out, it was no longer up to them to come or not. Those who accepted the invitation were guests, and those who refused the invitation were enemies who did not give Charlotte Lingling face.
"What on earth does she want to do? We don't usually have any contact with this pirate."
"Shortly after Piercro and Barak were killed, the Big Mom Pirates intervened in the underworld. What do you think she wanted to do? Perhaps it was to take over the mountain."
"Those guys are here too. Deep Ocean Current - Umit, Dark Gold King - Du Feld, Hidden Master - Kiboson."
The gap in class and status exists everywhere, even in the underground world. Compared with Feld and his group, these people are just a bunch of little Karami.
They could only sit at the tables on the edge, but Feld and his friends were at the table in the middle, where there was an empty seat. There was no doubt that it belonged to Charlotte Lingling.
But at this main table, some people found a different person, the only one who came to the tea party with his family.
"Who is that pink-haired guy? Why haven't I heard of him?"
"Shh!"
One person was a little puzzled by this, but a worried voice came to his ears.
"What's wrong? Is that some big shot?"
"I don't know, but can anyone sitting at the main table be a simple character? Keep your voice down, it would be bad if you offend someone."
This person didn't know Orlan either, but he knew one thing very well: when appearing in such an occasion, even if the other party was a relative, he should not underestimate them.
"He's right. That guy is no ordinary person. Sidilir Oran is said to be a doctor who has won the Ibel Prize for Medicine and was once a colleague of Vegapunk.
According to the grapevine, Piercro's former subordinates said that Piercro was killed by him.
I think it's probably true. Those influential people in the underworld seem to know him."
People outside were talking and worrying about what would happen in the future.
Feld was nervous at first, but now he has relaxed.
Charlotte Linlin is not a messenger of justice, so her goal cannot be to liquidate the underworld.
The people here are the managers of the underground world. Unless Charlotte Lingling wants to return the underground world to chaos and start all over again, it is impossible to take direct action against them.
Moreover, Orlan is now too calm. In Feld's opinion, Orlan never does anything without certainty.
Besides, since he was already here, he stopped letting his thoughts run wild. Instead, he took advantage of the time when all the people from the underground world gathered together to talk about other issues.
"Gibson, it's time to pay back the loan you took out to build your warehouse. If you keep going like this, you'll be overdue."
"I see. Why are you rushing me? I'll transfer the money to you once Umit settles the payment. Do you still need money? 'Great philanthropist'?"
They all knew how much water there was in Feld's charitable investments, but there was nothing they could do. Feld's investment in MADS was a huge success.
"Would you ever think you had too much money? I wouldn't."
Feld was not afraid that Giberson would default on his debts. They were already somewhat hindering each other, otherwise Orlan would not have acted as a middleman to mediate some conflicts.
They will abide by the agreement until they decide to fall out.
"Sidilir, why don't you consider selling me that special shipbuilding method? I can consider you a shareholder."
At this time, Umit also began to ask Oran about his plan. He had not yet figured out the secret of the seastone bottom of the ship. As his main business was shipping, he was very envious of it.
"Hey! Umit, don't try to interfere with our cooperation. You're late!"
After hearing what Umit said, before Orlan said anything, Feld became anxious instead.
"In business, the highest bidder wins. So, is it impossible for me to cooperate with Sidiliel?
Sidilier, you heard it too, Feld is very greedy, why don't you find a new partner."
"Don't listen to him, Oran. We've been working together so happily. This guy has bad intentions!"
Feld and Umit started arguing with each other, but Oran didn't take their words to heart.
If something really went wrong, these two people couldn't be trusted. Their attitude was purely related to the strength hidden in Orlan.
Both Umit and Feld are well aware that if they really want to overturn the table, they may not be much better than Pierre-Emerick.
This wasn't the first time they had brought up this topic, and Orlan continued to deal with them with an ambiguous attitude, essentially maintaining the status quo.
During this process, the number of snacks prepared on the table continued to disappear.
"Dad, I want to eat that. The green one looks delicious."
All that remained of the dessert in front of Leliana was the plate, and she couldn't reach any further.
Unlike the worried adults, she simply followed Orlan to play and eat.
But she still remembered what Oran had said, to be polite when out and about. Seeing that no one else at the table showed any interest in eating, she pulled Oran's sleeve, wanting him to bring her the food.
"Riley, you can eat mine first."
"It's okay. If the child likes the food, give it to her. I don't have much of an appetite."
At first, Orlan only gave his own to Leliana, but no one at the table was greedy for the food, and seeing that Leliana liked it, they gave it all to her.
"Ahem. Dad, this doesn't taste good."
As if she ate too fast and choked a little, Leliana picked up the teacup beside her, but the taste of black tea was not to her liking; it was a bit bitter.
"Well, this kind of tea usually needs milk and sugar. Try this."
Charlotte Lingling's tea party was a typical English black tea, with more than a dozen ingredients prepared on the side. However, Leliana still found the taste of this pure milk tea a little uncomfortable.
In the end, I just used it as a strange-smelling water to moisten my throat and clean the remaining taste in my mouth.
"Soldier, please bring me some more snacks, about a hundred servings, one of each. Please."
"Yes, sir, please wait a moment."
Orlan asked for more desserts from the chess soldiers nearby. These chess soldiers were Homies made by Charlotte Lingling, and their orders were to serve the guests here.
So without any questions, he immediately went to the kitchen.
"Serves one hundred?"
In the kitchen of Cake Island, a short and fat man with a bird-like nose and an apron was wondering if he had heard it wrong.
He is the head chef of Cake Island - Long Bread, the executive chef, and the one who commands all the chefs of the BIG MOM Pirates.
He was also the one who led Charlotte Linlin on the Pirate Road.
"Yes, for the guests at the main table, and there are 100 servings of each."
"Interesting, such a good appetite? Lingling really invited a very special guest, guys! Take action, we can't let the guests look down on us!"
In order to ensure the quality of the desserts, these desserts are freshly baked. One hundred servings are nothing to them. After all, Charlotte Lingling can consume a mountain of desserts every day. The only thing that will be competed this time is their speed.
With Leliana's awakened spirit of eating, a large number of empty plates soon appeared on the main table, which naturally attracted the attention of many people.
"No way. Is there really anyone who treats Big Mom's tea party as a buffet?"
It's not like there aren't tea parties out there. According to these people's understanding, tea parties should be about having two dim sum and a cup of tea, which you can savor slowly over the entire afternoon, and then talk about other things.
They couldn't understand why some people could eat and drink so much in such an environment.
In addition to these guests, members of the BIG MOM Pirates also looked here. Perospero licked the freshly made candy cane in his hand, as if recalling something.
Katakuri also came behind him at this time.
"Katakuri, have you finished your afternoon tea?"
Katakuri eats some donuts at a fixed time, but due to physical reasons, he doesn't want to expose his entire face to outsiders, so he always covers his mouth with a scarf.
Even when he was eating snacks, in most cases, anyone other than his family would be killed immediately upon seeing his mouth, which was a bit like the Slit-Mouthed Woman.
"Well, what are you looking at?"
"Look at that girl. Does she feel familiar? Her voracious appetite reminds me of my mother."
"It's okay. It seems that this doctor must be very hard-working."
Both of them just said it casually. After all, almost all the core members of the BIG MOM Pirates were born to Charlotte Linlin. Her family can be without a father, but she will not let a man take the child away.
Moreover, as the eldest and second sons, they believed that a girl of this age could not possibly have any relationship with Charlotte Lingling. At most, they had some similarities in personality.
"Then you guessed wrong, Katakuri, you don't care enough about this matter. The money this doctor earns is not small at all, it is more than enough to support a child.
"Where's Mom? She should be here by now."
"Mom went to the castle warehouse. I told her about the additive invented by Sidiliel. She was very satisfied and planned to exchange something with him for it."
There is only one person in charge of the Big Mom Pirates, Charlotte Linlin herself.
Except when she goes crazy because of bulimia, Charlotte Lingling is a very calculating person, especially at this age.
To be precise, there are no fools among the Four Emperors. They may like to adopt sons, act crazy when drunk, and pretend to be stupid, but the plans in their heads are deeper than each other.
Charlotte Linling could see that this thing was beneficial to the development of Cake Island, and she would definitely not turn it away. When Perospero and Katakuri were discussing when Charlotte Linling would return to the venue, the initiator of the tea party had also returned to the outside of the venue. Looking at the chef who was rushing to the venue with plates, Charlotte Linling felt a little unhappy.
"What? Haven't the snacks for the guests been prepared yet?"
"No, Mom, there's a big eater here. She loves the dim sum at the venue and has already eaten dozens of servings."
Hearing Charlotte Lingling's question, the chef beside her hurriedly explained.
Although Charlotte Lingling has an active mind, she often acts like a child, with joy and anger occurring only in a split second.
When she heard that someone particularly liked dim sum, a smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"Well, well, there are still many people with taste. Bring out your best cooking skills. If this customer is not satisfied in any way, you will be punished!"
"Yes, Mom!"
Soon, a huge figure appeared in the tea party venue, as tall as a giant.
There was also a ball of fire and thundercloud floating behind him. Those were the most special Homies. Unlike the souls harvested from the outside world, their source was Charlotte Lingling's own soul, and they were also among the strongest.
Along with Charlotte Lingling, there was also a photo held up by several chess soldiers. Under Charlotte Lingling's expectant gaze, the photo was placed opposite Charlotte Lingling.
"Well, well, I'm glad that everyone can come to my tea party. Please enjoy it. If you do, I will be even happier.
Don't worry, I asked everyone to come here this time just to tell you that when you are active in the New World in the future, you can communicate more with the Big Mom Pirates and make friends with everyone. I don't mean any harm. "
Charlotte Lingling said it so easily. If someone hadn't seen that anyone who rejected her had been killed, they might have actually believed it.
Then Charlotte Linlin said some polite words, the gist of which was that the BIG MOM Pirates had begun to get involved in some underground business, and if there was any cooperation, remember to contact her.
Apart from that, there's really nothing else.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to eat these snacks? They are very delicious. Don't you have the courage of a little girl?"
It can be said that Leliana was the only one who was casually enjoying the dessert at the scene, while everyone else looked a little unnatural.
"Well, you are such a cute little girl. If you like, just eat as much as you want. Fill your stomach and I will give you as much as you want."
"Okay, thank you pretty sister, but don't you want to eat?"
When you are out, it won't hurt to be polite. Only idiots would act like idiots and attract hatred by putting on a stern face every day like a Celestial Dragon.
If something unexpected happens, there will naturally be a way to deal with it.
Usually, saying the opposite of what is said can have a significant effect, such as exaggerating the maturity of the young and the youth of the old, saying that the fakes are as good as the real ones, and the quality of the real ones is as fine as the models.
We should analyze each case specifically, but it is generally reasonable to do the opposite. After all, the less people have, the more they want.
Leliana is not stupid at all. She can say some very naive things about things she doesn't understand, and can even say things that are as sharp as a knife in the chest.
But after being taught, she can even apply what she has learned like a little elf and knows how to respond on the spot.
The word "sister" made Charlotte Lingling very happy. Now she has not yet entered the stage of showing off, and her figure and face have not changed. Naturally, she likes others to say that.
"Mmmm~Mmmm~ It's been a while since anyone called me that. Last time, it was that brat Kaido. That brat wasn't cute at all when he grew up. I'll accept you as my sister."
This sentence inadvertently touched upon some of Charlotte Lingling's past memories. She was a person who followed her heart, and she felt happy at this moment, so she agreed immediately.
"Zeus, go tell Long Bread and the others to bring out their best crafts. Lemon cake, matcha ice cream, strawberry chocolate tiramisu, I want them all!"
"Yes, Mom, I'll go right away!"
The cloud beside was startled and flew to the kitchen quickly. When Charlotte Lingling specifically ordered a certain food, it was best to bring it to her quickly. If you delay too long, she will tell you how terrible an bulimia attack is.
"Mmm~ What a lovely girl, Sidiliel. You are so lucky to have such a wonderful daughter."
"Thank you for the compliment. I also think this is my luck. She is my most lovely daughter."
"He sounds like a good father~"
Charlotte Lingling grabbed the food on the table and stuffed it into her mouth, but she kept looking at Leliana. For some reason, the more she looked at her, the more she liked her.
Watching her eating, I even felt my appetite increased.
"It shows the special love that a mother has for her child."
Charlotte Lingling occasionally bursts into maternal love for children under ten years old. At such times, she becomes particularly gentle and displays an unimaginable attitude.
However, if an offspring over the age of ten still wants to be valued, he or she will have to rely on his or her own abilities.
"But this is too much. I don't think Mom will really accept such a sister."
"Probably not. Mom might forget about it after the tea party is over."
Katakuri still had his hands folded across his chest, not worried about this sort of thing. In his opinion, Charlotte Linlin was just a flash in the pan.
"What if Mom can't forget? Are we supposed to call that little girl 'Auntie'? And what about her father, who has a doctorate? If Mom is present when we do business in the future."
According to this calculation, Orlan's generation inexplicably rose to become their grandfather, which is outrageous no matter how you think about it.
"Then let's discuss our own affairs. Mom won't accept that title."
"That's true. I hope Mom won't take this too seriously."
Not long after, Thundercloud Zeus quickly returned to the venue with the freshly made dessert. Seeing the satisfied smile on Charlotte Lingling's face, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Charlotte Lingling's eyes kept sweeping over Orlan, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.
"Is this fur tribe one of your subordinates?"
"We are family. We have lived together for a long time."
"Mmmm~mmm, family? I like this name. My dream is to gather people of all races in this country. That's the real world. You already have a daughter, but she's still an ordinary human. What a pity."
Charlotte Lingling admired Leliana very much, but having a daughter meant being married, so it would be difficult to marry another daughter to him.
If Orlan wasn't of ordinary race, Charlotte Lingling might have made him her next husband.
Charlotte Lingling did not hide anything when she spoke, which made Perospero sweat from time to time.
Whether Orlan becomes a stepfather or the husband of a sister, it means extreme chaos in interpersonal relationships.
Suppose Orlan became the husband of one of his sisters, and then Leliana became Charlotte Lingling's sister, then Orlan would be his brother-in-law and his grandfather at the same time.
Leliana is his aunt and niece at the same time?
Perospero counted on his fingers and finally gave up the idea. He had confused himself so much that he didn't even know whether he should be considered a niece.
Fortunately, my mother only expressed regret and had no intention of continuing to arrange the marriage.
Although Charlotte Lingling likes marriage alliances, it is not necessary to do so.
"Sidiliel, no, I'll just call you Oran. I really like the gift you gave to the Big Mom Pirates. Katakuri has already told me about it.
Your family is also very lovely, and it can be seen that they trust you very much. In that case, I will just give this thing to you directly."
Charlotte Lingling took out a small box, which seemed even smaller than her palm. This was what she had taken from the warehouse before.
"This thing can be regarded as a deposit for our future business. It is also my return gift to you. You will definitely like it."
Charlotte Lingling placed the box on a plate, and then several legs sprouted from under the plate, carrying the box to Orlan.
That plate was also Homies, but it had not been moved before.
Orlan picked up the box and shook it gently twice, and there sounded a spherical object inside.
"Just open it. It's already yours. Don't worry about anything."
