One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

Thus, Doflamingo, who had both the ability and the motivation to accomplish this, naturally came into their view.

They exchanged a Celestial Dragon slot for a stable and high-quality supply of "mermaid slaves".

In their view, this was undoubtedly a very worthwhile deal.

"Kane, shall we make a move?"

Violet gritted her teeth, her voice filled with resentment.

She had absolutely no liking for Doflamingo, the culprit who enslaved her country.

Kane shook his head slightly: "No rush. Let's play along. To catch a thief, you have to catch him red-handed."

Doflamingo has been acting as an arms dealer for the Beasts Pirates for many years; even if he hasn't achieved great things, he has certainly put in a lot of hard work.

To deal with him, there must be a legitimate reason.

The Beasts Pirates are no longer bandits, but a powerful force that dominates a region and aims to conquer the world. Even their seemingly intangible "reputation" must be taken seriously.

However, Doflamingo's defection this time gave him an excellent excuse.

He was just wondering what good reason he had to get rid of the Don Quixote family.

Just then.

Without warning, a sweet rain began to fall from the sky.

A variety of beautifully designed and colorful cakes, puddings, and cookies were placed in front of the guests with a joyful sound.

"Please eat me!"

A mousse cake that looked incredibly delicious gazed at Kane with expectant eyes.

Kane frowned, a wave of nausea rising in his stomach. He casually tossed the cake, which was still extending an invitation, back into the air.

These anthropomorphic desserts always gave him a strange feeling of "eating people," making them really hard to swallow.

The regulars at the tea parties were already used to it, and they all laughed as they grabbed their favorite desserts and ate them heartily without any guilt.

This is also a classic item at tea parties.

Charlotte Linlin is extremely fascinated by seeing guests engrossed in the desserts of Cake Island, which gives her a twisted sense of satisfaction that "everyone here is one of us who loves desserts."

For some reason, watching the guests around him devour the desserts with smiles on their faces, Kane always felt like he was on the set of a remake of Diary of a Madman.

A chill ran down my spine.

"Mommy, Mommy! I'm so happy to see that you still love my desserts so much!"

Amidst laughter, Charlotte Linlin, dressed in a pink tutu, made a grand entrance like a queen, surrounded by her children.

"Enjoy everything that's about to happen today, everyone!"

A thunderous cheer resounded through the sky.

Regardless of their true feelings, at this moment, all guests must put on their brightest and most engaged smiles.

After the grand opening, the guests took their seats as arranged.

Kane was led to the head seat next to Charlotte Linlin, while the groom Loki had a huge table and chair specially prepared for his enormous size.

At this moment, led by the head chef Long Bread, a team of chefs solemnly escorted a giant cream cake, over twenty meters tall, slowly moving it to the center of the venue.

The cake is beautifully decorated, with layers of buttercream frosting that resemble works of art.

The intensely sweet aroma seemed to have a physical form, entering everyone's nasal cavity on its own, tantalizing their taste buds without the need for breathing.

Long bread bowed and said, "This wedding cake was made by Chiffon, who stayed up all night to help. It's her specialty, chiffon cake."

"Mom, Mom! You did a great job, I'm very satisfied!"

Charlotte Linlin's eyes lit up instantly, and a trace of saliva involuntarily trickled from the corner of her mouth with immense joy.

"So beautiful!"

"awesome!"

"What a magnificent and solemn masterpiece!"

The guests also burst into exaggerated praise at opportune moments, pushing the atmosphere to a small climax.

With the wedding cake in place, it was time for the most important person in Charlotte Linlin's life to make her appearance.

A royal soldier, leading two royal soldiers, solemnly carried a beautifully decorated treasure box as they slowly emerged from the depths of the castle.

The moment the treasure box appeared, the venue, which had been filled with laughter and joy, instantly went silent, as if a mute button had been pressed. Everyone fell silent.

Their gazes followed the small box solemnly, as if they were looking up at some sacred object.

The treasure box was carefully placed in front of Charlotte Linlin.

"Kane!"

Charlotte Linlin, with an almost boastful and proud expression, turned to Kane and said, "I would like to introduce you to our Mother—Sister Carmel!"

She laughed as she stretched out her enormous hand, ready to open the treasure box.

A barely perceptible red glint flashed in Kane's eyes, and a playful smile curved his lips: "I'm looking forward to it."

Wow, you've really got something special, chiffon cake.

At the same time, Katakuri's expression turned grim as he belatedly realized what was happening, and he hurriedly tried to stop them, saying, "Wait..."

But it was too late.

The lid of the treasure box was lifted, and everything inside was exposed to Charlotte Linlin without any concealment.

"Mother's photos...who did this?! Who did it?!"

The smile on her face froze instantly, replaced by utter astonishment and disbelief.

The previously peaceful atmosphere vanished completely.

The violent and chaotic Conqueror's Haki, like a volcano about to erupt, began to surge and spread uncontrollably.

However, fate seemed to think the destruction wasn't enough, and the wedding cake suddenly swelled up.

The next second—

Bang! ! !

A huge explosion rang out!

The wedding cake was blasted to pieces in a towering burst of flames, turning into a mess of debris.

Yamato looked at the cake, now reduced to ruins, with great regret: "Oh, what a pity. I really wanted to taste it properly."

The others nodded in agreement.

Just by looking at the cake's appearance and smelling its aroma, you can tell it's absolutely top-notch.

While Yamato and the others were still lamenting the destruction of their food, Charlotte Linlin had already entered her rage mode.

She was already in a state of shock and rage from the destruction of the nun's photo, and now she saw her long-awaited wedding cake vanish before her eyes...

At this moment, Charlotte Lingling is like Wu Zetian after the death of her husband—losing Li Zhi.

"Sister...cake..."

A tear fell to the ground.

"what!!!!!"

Charlotte Linlin opened her blood-red maw and let out a terrifying shriek.

That wasn't just a sound; it was more like a demonic voice from the depths of hell.

The most deadly thing is that the voice was also mixed with her full-power Conqueror's Haki.

A storm of sound waves and domineering aura swept across the entire arena!

The guests were thrown to the ground in droves, instantly losing consciousness.

Even many of Charlotte's children were not spared, screaming and fainting under their mother's indiscriminate attacks.

At the same time, Kane's allies were also attacked.

Reiju, Violet, Bonney, and Chopper groaned in pain almost the instant the sound reached their ears, collapsing to the ground.

Ace, Zoro, and Sanji struggled to muster their strength, holding on and refusing to collapse.

"Damn it! You mere Four Emperors, don't even think about bringing me down!"

The three of them growled in unison.

Under this extreme pressure, the seeds of Conqueror's Haki that had long been planted within them were fully awakened and strengthened!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three immature yet indomitable Conqueror's Haki burst forth from their bodies, struggling against Charlotte Linlin's soul voice with difficulty yet unwavering determination.

"Hmm, well done."

Kane, who was at the very center of the storm, remained calm and nodded slightly as he watched Ace and the other two.

It was as if the pirate emperor beside him, emitting a destructive shriek, didn't exist at all.

By this time, the main table area was a complete mess, leaving only the two of them.

Katakuri sensed something was wrong just moments before his mother lost control of her emotions and retreated far away in advance.

After another ten seconds or so, seemingly due to excessive emotional release and immense energy depletion, Charlotte Linlin's massive body swayed, her legs gave way, and she collapsed to her knees with a thud.

Surprisingly, blood seeped from where her knees hit the ground.

Kane noticed this detail, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

Is the "steel balloon" physique of this middle-aged woman simply due to her invincible physical strength?

When the Conqueror's Haki was excessively depleted, the so-called "steel balloon" burst on its own.

Could it be that the so-called steel balloon is a state in which the body's defense is enhanced by Conqueror's Haki?

Can Conqueror's Haki be used for defense?

I've never heard of such a thing.

However, it's not impossible.
