One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

"Good, good."

In his haste, Loki didn't notice anything unusual about Chiffon and even thought she was happy about it.

And so, each with their own thoughts, the two left the tent.

Chapter 178 The Tea Party Begins

Once Loki's figure disappeared outside the tent, Hiyori Kozuki came to Kane's side, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and said in a low voice with some uncertainty, "Lord Kane, didn't you think... Loki's behavior just now seemed a little strange?"

Kane laughed heartily: "Can't you see? Loki has fallen in love."

"well?!!"

A gasp of disbelief erupted from inside the tent.

Loki and Chiffon?

The size difference between these two is even more exaggerated than that between Jabba and Ripley!

Can the two of them have a child?

"Ha, the perspective of mortals."

Enel, who didn't get along well with Loki, chuckled.

Kane waved his hand: "Don't say that. Love has nothing to do with race or size; its power is immense."

At this moment, Ace couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "By the way, Brother Kane, what exactly was going on with those mirrors just now?"

Kane explained casually, "Oh, the Charlotte family has a user of the Mirror-Mirror Fruit, who can move freely through mirrors and peer into the outside world."

"what?"

"This is outrageous, utterly despicable!"

The companions' faces immediately turned grim, especially the girls.

Anyone who knows that their every move may be under surveillance would feel the same way.

Kane, however, remained calm and reassured them, "Alright, after my direct exposure and warning, the Charlotte family should be more restrained and won't do such underhanded things for the time being. Of course, everyone should still be careful with their words."

It's normal for people to go to any lengths to gather intelligence.

If it were him, he would have done the same.

Perhaps Kane's warning had an effect, or perhaps Charlotte Linlin's mind was entirely focused on how to win over Loki.

Throughout the day, apart from the Homies' servants bringing lavish meals on time, no one from the Charlotte family came to disturb them.

Since he had nothing better to do, Kane decided to have Enel practice his Conqueror's Haki, which he had only recently awakened.

Incidentally, Ace, Zoro, and Sanji, who possess Conqueror's Haki, were also drawn into this lesson.

Kane's domineering little class is in session again.

"The method to awaken and truly master Conqueror's Haki is actually very simple."

Kane smiled slightly.

Seeing his familiar smile, alarm bells rang in the hearts of the four of them at the same time, and a strong sense of foreboding surged up.

"That is—to experience it firsthand, to break through under extreme pressure!"

Before he finished speaking, Kane's eyes narrowed, and a terrifying aura, as if it were tangible, erupted like a tsunami, precisely crushing towards the four of them!

In order to resist the overwhelming impact of the Conqueror's Haki, the four people's bodies trembled violently and uncontrollably, like a lone four-leaf boat in a storm, which might be completely swallowed up at any moment.

Large beads of sweat kept seeping and sliding down their foreheads and temples.

All the muscles in my body trembled uncontrollably under extreme pressure.

They gritted their teeth and persevered with sheer willpower.

Under this suffocating pressure, a tiny, imperceptible seed of strength began to sprout and take root in the deepest part of their hearts...

Night fell.

Kane dragged the four exhausted men into the tent.

The training was brutal, but the results were remarkable.

Enel has already begun to independently activate Conqueror's Haki to resist and wear down Kane's Haki pressure; while Ace, Zoro, and Sanji have also shown signs of awakening.

Just as the four people were settled in, the tent flap was suddenly yanked open.

Loki's massive body squeezed in, his face beaming with unprecedented excitement and a radiant glow.

"Hahaha, Chiffon accepted my marriage proposal!"

Loki announced the good news loudly.

at the same time.

Inside the main hall of the castle.

Loki proposed to me.

Qi Feng respectfully reported this "good news" to her mother.

She understood that her every move was under her mother's watchful eye, and that her mother knew even if she didn't say anything.

"Well done, my good daughter."

Upon hearing the good news, Charlotte Linlin smiled happily, but showed no surprise and did not ask for her daughter's opinion.

After praising Chiffon, she turned to her most prized son: "Katakuri, what do you think about us getting Loki and Chiffon married at tomorrow's tea party?"

Loki's feelings for Chiffon greatly surprised her.

She couldn't wait to make this incredible surprise happen as soon as possible.

Katakuri didn't answer his mother's question immediately. He glanced silently at Chiffon, who was forcing a smile, before saying in a deep voice, "It's all up to Mother."

He knew very well how much his mother valued Loki; it was simply a question with an answer.

"Then let's do it! I want to make this tea party the best wedding ever!"

Charlotte Linlin waved her hand and, without caring whether there was enough time, gave the order.

"Yes, Mom."

Katakuri nodded, silently accepted the order, and left.

"Hurry up, hurry up, I can't wait to share this 'good news' with that bastard Kane."

Charlotte Linlin was absolutely ecstatic.

Unexpectedly, a tea party to befriend Loki would bring her such a big surprise.

Kane, so what if you recruited Loki ahead of time? He's still my best son-in-law!

In her extreme excitement, Charlotte Linlin was completely oblivious to the increasingly determined look on her daughter's face.

"Mom, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

Chiffon suppressed the surging emotions in her heart and tried her best to appear happy.

"Go ahead. Prepare well, tomorrow you'll be the most eye-catching girl on Whole Cake Island!"

Charlotte Linlin waved her hand dismissively.

As soon as she stepped out of the hall, the smile on Qi Feng's face vanished instantly.

She just made her decision.

Runaway bride!

I must run away from this marriage!

Although Loki gave her a good feeling, she absolutely did not want a marriage without love.

Just as Chiffon was planning how to escape Cake Island, a tall figure suddenly appeared from around the corner.

"K-Katakuri-nii-san..." Qi Feng swallowed hard, stammering, "Why aren't you busy with the wedding preparations? What are you doing here?"

Katakuri didn't speak, he just stared intently at his sister.

Under the gaze of those eyes that seemed to see right through people, Qi Feng's face lost its color and became even paler.

After a long silence, Katakuri finally spoke.

"Sometimes, the most dangerous place is the safest place."

Having said that, Katakuri turned and left without waiting for his sister's reply.

"Katakuri-nii-san..."

Qi Feng's expression was complicated as she nodded heavily towards the man's back.

The following afternoon.

The tea party officially began.

Under Charlotte Linlin's absolute will, even with the rushed preparation time, this grand event, which combined the functions of a tea party and a wedding, still displayed an extraordinary level of luxury and grandeur.

To accommodate the groom's large frame, the tea party was moved from the top of the castle to a more open area outside the castle.

"Loki, I never imagined that you would be the first among us to walk down the aisle!"

Ever since hearing the news of the wedding, the friends have been teasing the groom from time to time.

Perhaps it was the subtle influence of his change in status, but Loki, who was always unrestrained, showed a rare hint of restraint and naivety on his face.

Although his physical age was 57, given the long lifespan of giants, his mental age was equivalent to that of a 19-year-old human.

He's still a young man.

Surrounded by their companions and filled with laughter, the group finally arrived at the venue.

The spacious venue was filled with fluttering red flags and bustling crowds.

The invited guests gathered in twos and threes, talking in hushed tones.

For them, the Charlotte family's tea parties were not only occasions to show loyalty, but also an extremely valuable social platform.

Here, you can meet many important figures who are rarely seen.
