Pirate: My Piltover technology is far ahead!

Chapter 83 The Death Note on Whole Cake Island

The head chef remained unchanged, but the ship's equipment changed afterward, with auxiliary kitchen equipment such as automatic mixers appearing in the kitchen.

After a period of sailing, Katakuri led Oran and Feld back to Whole Cake Island, the main island of the Totto Land Kingdom and the headquarters of the Big Mom Pirates.

"Orlan, the head chef gave me something before we disembarked."

After landing, Kate took out a notebook and handed it to Oran.

"What is it?"

"It's a recipe, something like how to make some desserts, and he said it's for Riley."

"Put it away. It seems he's figured something out."

Some people were moving more modern kitchen equipment onto the ship. Oran didn't know what the head chef was planning, but it was clear that changes were underway.

"Okay, I understand, but is this island alive?"

Kate saw all sorts of strange creatures: cakes running around in the streets, egg tarts and red bean pies falling in love, and a teapot lecturing them like an old man.

Two eyes grow on the big tree next to it, and the grass at my feet sings a cheerful children's song.

The Cake Island is still relatively new, and many things are yet to be planned. However, in the center of the island, you can already see a huge cake mountain and a cookie castle, and strange creatures have appeared on the island in large numbers.

"The islands aren't the islands. Those are Big Mom's Devil Fruit abilities. She's a user of the Soul-Soul Fruit, and these living things are Homies she created using her Devil Fruit powers."

Users of the Soul-Soul Fruit can manipulate human souls at will, allowing them to reside in various objects and anthropomorphize them. However, they cannot place the souls inside other people or corpses, but they can place them inside other animals.

Chess soldiers were patrolling the streets, and like the food before them, they were all products of Charlotte Linlin's Devil Fruit power.

As for the source of the souls, they come from the other residents of the island. Pirates collect protection fees from islands they protect, but the Big Mom Pirates collect a special kind of thing from their territory – souls.

In other words, it's about lifespan. To gain Charlotte Linlin's protection, one must periodically pay off a certain amount of lifespan.

"Hehe~ Welcome to both of you. Mom is already waiting for you at the venue. Please follow me."

After disembarking, Katakuri disappeared without a trace, and the person who greeted them became Perospero.

Oran and Feld were actually among the later arrivals, since Bean Island is quite far from here, and even though Katakuri is quite strong, he doesn't have the ability to change the distance between islands.

"Dr. Sidier, I've heard of you. Is this your daughter? She's so cute."

Seeing that there was a child, Perospero casually produced a few lollipops and handed them to the child. He was a user of the Lick-Lick Fruit, which allowed him to create all kinds of candy at will.

As the eldest son, he knew his mother's preferences, and only by making Charlotte Linlin happy could they have a better life.

With extensive experience in taking care of children, he knows how to soothe them, making him quite professional.

Just like Katakuri, he didn't know what Charlotte Linlin looked like when she was a child. Even if he did know, it wouldn't make any difference. Putting six-year-old Charlotte Linlin and 28-year-old Charlotte Linlin together, no one would believe they were the same person.

As a clone, Leliana resembles Perospero in appearance but also has some differences. There are many lookalikes on this sea, so she didn't attract Perospero's attention at all.

"I'm not a child, I'm an adult."

If there's any misunderstanding, it's that Cate's appearance is younger due to the Hextech Core, so Perospero mistook her for a child.

"It's alright, adults can eat candy too. Sweet things are the most delicious. Dr. Siddirell, would you like one?"

"No, thank you."

"What a pity, these are special edition candies. You can have them all, you cute little girl."

After giving all the lollipops to Leliana, Perospero conjured a giant candy elevator with a wave of his hand, leading directly to the tea party venue.

"Please, everyone, the elevator will take you directly to the venue. I still need to greet the other guests here."

The underworld isn't just about Feld, Umit, and a few others; they're just the most famous.

The candy elevator, manipulated by Perospero's abilities, began to operate, slowly ascending with the group.

"Riley, you can't eat this, we're still using it."

Seeing Leriana staring intently at the elevator below, Oran already knew what she was thinking.

"Can I eat it afterwards? There's so much sugar, it feels like it'll last a long time."

"That won't work either. These candies are lying on the ground, it's not clean. There will be more delicious treats later."

"All right."

Swallowing hard, Leliana ultimately resisted the urge, eagerly anticipating more delicious food from Oran.

Click.

As the elevator reached the top, Oran heard the sound of a camera shutter; a birdman was standing in front of them with a camera.

"It's unbelievable that the famous Dr. Siddirell would attend the tea party hosted by BIG MOM."

And isn't this the recently famous "financial philanthropist" Du Field? Looks like you received an invitation too.

"Aren't you the same, Morgans, president of World Economic News?"

"Wow, Doctor, you actually know my name? That's a real honor. May I do you a private interview?"

This birdman is Morgans, a recently emerging talent in the journalism industry. He is a user of the Bird-Bird Fruit, Albatross form, and his true appearance is unknown. He is one of the more mysterious people present.

"I'm not really interested. Maybe you could interview Charlotte Linlin and see what she has to say. She's a pirate with a bounty of over a billion, which is much more impressive than mine."

"Doctor, you're joking. Well then, I won't bother you any longer."

After being rejected, Morgans didn't say anything, but turned around, grabbed his camera, and ran off to other places, taking pictures everywhere.

"Orlan, that guy took a picture of you here, want it?"

"No need, I'm already here, so I'm not afraid of what others will say."

A single tea party isn't exactly news. Even if Morgans likes to exaggerate, he can't create any sensational stories. Even if he reports on it, it won't affect Oran.

The World Government doesn't care about such things. As long as Oran isn't researching the Poneglyphs, digging up ancient weapons, or claiming to be Nika, the World Government won't be too upset about who he does business with.

If the Navy were to ask him, Oran could even retort, "Why is your strength so weak? If you had wiped out the pirates, I wouldn't have needed to go there!"

The weak scientist had no choice but to be coerced by the pirates; you should compensate me.

"Okay, I understand."

Since Oran put it that way, Kate naturally had no objections, and took out a new notebook to jot down some things.

This place is full of ready-made villains; it would have been almost impossible for these people to gather together if it weren't for their fear of Charlotte Linlin's power.

This is a rare opportunity, so I'm making a note of it; you never know when it might come in handy. When that day comes, this won't be just an ordinary notebook, but rather the roll call of the King of Hell.
