Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 188 Before the Banquet
Three days later, Candy Island Pier——

All the representatives attending the ceremony were gathered in the square that had been expanded in advance, ready to go to Cake Island in order.

"Welcome to 'Worlds', everyone!"

"I, Perospero, my mother's eldest son, the Minister of Sweets of the 'World', would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who has come to participate in the founding ceremony. Peroline~"

Perospero, standing in front of everyone, bowed gracefully as he spoke.

This just-right respect and generous and appropriate attitude made many older leaders of major forces nod their heads secretly.

It seems that there is a reason why the Big Mom Pirates have been able to grow to this scale in just a few years. In addition to Big Mom's own military power, her sons are also outstanding enough.

"You are very kind, Lord Perospero."

"As the crown prince of 'Wan Guo', he actually led the way for us personally. It really makes us feel ashamed~"

Many small forces that were lucky enough to get anonymous invitations quickly took the opportunity to flatter this powerful figure in "Wan Guo".

As Big Mom's eldest son, he will inherit the throne and become the next king of this country if nothing unexpected happens.

I must make myself familiar with the crowd now.

Of course, this is the limitation of a small force.

Most of the larger forces knew that although Perospero was the eldest son, the throne was not necessarily his.

His other brother is also a strong contender for the next king of Wan Guo.

Whether the eldest son or the most capable one will succeed to the throne will depend on their popularity and abilities.

However, for other forces, this can be regarded as a rather "happy" trouble. After all, both Perospero and Katakuri are rare and outstanding talents.

[A pirate nation bound by blood ties... That woman has truly found a unique path~]
Old Medica sighed in his heart, then looked at his son, only to find that he was looking around.

"Hmm? Caspar, where are you looking?"

"Ah~ Father."

Hearing the familiar call, Caspar stopped looking around and answered.

"I'm looking for the people from Baishou. Do you know where they are?"

"Hundred Beasts?! Why did you find them? Didn't I tell you not to provoke those guys?"

Compared to the young Caspar, old Medica has a much more sensitive sense of danger.

Countless life-threatening choices have made him very clear about which forces he can offend and which forces he must not even touch.

And now, he could smell the familiar feeling of death on all the beasts.

It was a terrifying beast.

"Of course, they're going to discuss cooperation. As young people who have just entered the arms industry, they need our family's connections, don't they?"

"And we also need their military power to deter other families. This is clearly a win-win situation."

"And I heard that the person who designed that pistol over there was a little girl."

Caspar's tone was full of superiority and complacency, and he even hummed at the end.

In contrast, old Medica's eyes were wide open.

Cooperation? Win-win?!

And the beasts? ! !
And that girl cadre, how dare he do that?!

Old Medica's heart almost jumped out of his chest when he knew his son's special hobby.

Is this really my son?

How come his personality is nothing like mine?
He has been walking on thin ice all his life. Before he even reached the other side, he gave birth to a son and started playing with a pile driver on the ice.

"Caspar! I'm warning you! Absolutely! Absolutely! Do not provoke those people from Baishou!"

"That's not something we businessmen can afford to offend!"

"If the beasts want the market of the New World, then let them have it! After all, the Four Seas are so vast, our family can still call the shots there."

"I can't let you use the wealth accumulated by generations of our family as a firecracker!"

"Cough cough!" "Cough cough cough!"

Maybe it was because he was really old, or maybe he was too emotional, but old Medica covered his mouth and coughed continuously.

"Got it, got it~"

Looking at his father's miserable appearance, Caspar agreed with his mouth, but he became more and more determined in his heart.

[I'm sorry, father. You are so weak that you are no longer fit to survive in this ocean.]
[After this, you can return to your hometown and enjoy your retirement in peace. I will bring the Medica family to new heights!]
……

"Mmmm~Mmmm~"

"Is everything ready for the ceremony, Katakuri?"

In Cake Island, in the Cake Castle of the capital city of 'Sweet City', Charlotte Lingling was eating breakfast while asking her second son who was sitting beside her.

She stuffed handfuls of sweet cream puffs piled up like a small mountain into her mouth, and her eating manners were completely devoid of any ladylike elegance.

However, although she has given birth to several children, the Pirate Queen still has a graceful figure.

But his height of over eight meters is really daunting.

"Don't worry, Mom."

"The chef baker in the kitchen is already making birthday and celebration cakes. You won't be disappointed."

"As for the ceremony procedures, Sister Compte has already taken Dafu to check it again. There shouldn't be any omissions."

"Owen is doing a follow-up inspection on the security side, and no problems have been found so far."

"And the guests? When will they arrive?"

"almost."

"Shiki, have Newgate and Kaido's men arrived too?"

Among all these guests, Big Mom is most concerned about the attitudes of these "old friends".

After all, they are the only ones who are truly on the same level as him, and he can just kill the other so-called "underground world" bosses.

The only powerful force in this world is difficult to find a replacement for in a short period of time.

"Everyone is here, but I heard that there seemed to be some conflict between Baijuu and Whitebeard's men, and they almost had a conflict when they landed on the island."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

"Well, well, well, it seems like that little brat Kaido has caused a lot of trouble in places I don't know about..."

Big Mom laughed and didn't care.

Anyway, they only sent their subordinates this time. She couldn't cause any trouble in her territory.

It would be better to say that if these guys were always friendly with her, she would find it strange and would have to be alert.

"Brother Peros just sent a message saying that the guests have already left Cake Island."

"I'll go to the dock to greet them later."

"Well, well, that's good."

Hearing that everything went well, Big Mom was naturally happy.

"Tell everyone below that this is the most important celebration since the founding of our pirate group. I will not allow any omissions or accidents to occur."

"Otherwise, I will be angry~Mah~Mah~"

"learn."

Tightening his scarf, Katakuri stood up and walked out of the cake castle.

He demands perfection in everything and even personally checks the preparations for each step before the guests arrive.

　I'll be working overtime and doing fieldwork every night this week, so updates will be a little late.
