"The World Government is nothing," the old woman said nonchalantly. "I am the Emperor of the Sea. Do you think I'm afraid of them?"
"Whether you're afraid or not is another matter; at the very least, you don't have the ability to wipe the World Government off this world."
"Erase? You've got some serious ambitions, kid," the old woman said, looking at Chen Yong'an with a sinister gaze. "Do you mean you want to take over the World Government and rule this world?"
“Domination? The world doesn’t belong to any one person,” Chen Yong’an shook his head. “I want to establish a new world government where all countries have a voice, instead of letting those damned Celestial Dragons continue to control the world.”
"All countries have a voice? You're being far too naive. Just as individuals have varying levels of strength, so too do nations. How can they all possibly have the same voice?"
"We can't achieve absolute equality, but we can try our best to achieve it. And doesn't that coincide with your idea of equality between races, Auntie? It's just that my method is more refined."
"Mmm, mmm, mmm~" The middle-aged woman clutched her stomach and laughed heartily. "That's right, I like that about you. If you and I join forces, changing this world will be no problem at all."
"Right?" Chen Yong'an looked at the middle-aged woman with a smile. "So what's your decision?"
"Alliance with you to overthrow the World Government and establish a new order is certainly possible, but..."
"but?"
The old woman's gaze towards Chen Yong'an suddenly darkened, and she continued, "You think you can get me to ally with you with a mere Giant Medicine? You're underestimating me. As allies, we should share all the good things, don't you think?"
The old woman's words were quite clear—she had her eye on Compound No. 5, which Chen Yong'an possessed and which could temporarily grant Devil Fruit powers to those without them.
This was also the main reason why Big Mom sent a ship full of treasure to Alabasta after the Marineford War, hoping that Chen Yong'an would form a marriage alliance with the World Kingdom.
This goal has never changed from the very beginning.
No force would let go of a technology that could significantly enhance the combat power of its own army!
“Ever since I brought it out and put it in the public eye, I never thought that I would be the only one who would possess this technology.”
"So what do you mean?" The woman's mouth stretched into a wide grin, and she looked at Chen Yong'an as if he were a delicious cake.
"Technology will continue to break through, develop, and evolve with the advancement of science and technology, but that doesn't mean I will share my trump cards with others, especially since you, as one of the Four Emperors, are already powerful enough. That would only disrupt the balance of power."
"So you want me to work for you for free?" The woman leaned over Chen Yong'an, her hands resting on the table.
His large, wrinkled face resembled that of a predatory beast, radiating an aura that sent shivers down one's spine, as if he were about to devour Chen Yong'an in the next moment!
The older woman's imposing presence was indeed intimidating, but Chen Yong'an's presence was by no means weak!
The auras of the two top experts collided instantly!
An invisible wave of energy spread like ripples, startling the Homies at the table into scattering and fleeing! Mei Youne, Lin Yongkong, Lin Zaizai, are you there...?
"How could that be?" Chen Yong'an remained calm. "Changing the world order benefits everyone. It's a good thing for future generations, and it's also for your own sake. How can you call it working for me for nothing?"
The middle-aged woman stared at Chen Yong'an, who showed no fear whatsoever, for a while, then revealed a meaningful smile, sat back down in her seat, and said, "Let me think about it for two days. I will give you a definite answer on the day of the tea party."
"Before that, you can have some fun on Whole Cake Island. Katakuri, see the guests out for me."
"Yes, Mom."
Chapter 579: Stuart, Queen of Pleasure Street
On the way out of the cake castle, Katakuri led the way, his steps heavy and silent.
After walking through a corridor, Chen Yong'an spoke first: "What do you think? Feel free to share your thoughts."
Based on what the old lady had just said, Chen Yong'an knew that the negotiations had completely failed.
Not only was there no room for maneuver, but the woman was even prepared to snatch the items from Chen Yong'an's hands!
This is the true face of Big Mom. Rather than forming alliances with others to change the world order and make the world a better place, she prefers to swallow Chen Yong'an up, completely rule the world, and become its master!
The old lady's ambition was as terrifying as her appetite!
"..."
Katakuri was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I have nothing to say. I will follow all of my mother's arrangements."
Although Katakuri couldn't predict the distant future, he knew Big Mom's character and knew what would happen next.
—A conspiracy targeting Chen Yong'an!
Big Mom is the person Katakuri respects and fears the most, and she is also his mother, which means that Katakuri will never betray Big Mom willingly.
However, Katakuri's younger siblings are his most precious family members and the foundation of his strength.
Now, Big Mom wants to seize what Chen Yong'an has through force, even if it means starting a war with him, which could potentially lead to the destruction of Big Mom's pirate crew and her country.
This is undoubtedly complicated for Katakuri.
"I never fight a battle I'm not prepared for. You'd better give me a straight answer and not let your younger siblings and this country sacrifice themselves in vain."
"...Leave this country tonight. I don't want to be your enemy."
"Let me leave? No way," Chen Yong'an shook his head. "I've already said I want to end this boring era of great pirates. Since you don't want to be dignified, then I'll make you dignified. The victor is king, the loser is villain. There's nothing more to say."
"Then I have no choice but to defeat you with all my might."
"I advise you to think it over more. Don't be too blindly loyal. The tea party isn't until the day after tomorrow, there's still time... No need to see me off, I know how to get on the road ahead."
Katakuri stopped and watched Chen Yong'an walk away with 2B, his heart filled with indescribable complex emotions.
The hotel arranged by the World Inn is located near the main road of the "City of Desserts," a towering, dreamlike hotel built from cakes, cookies, sugar, chocolates, and other desserts.
Like most buildings in this country, it's a hotel where everything is edible.
The King's Suite on the top floor of the Cake Hotel.
"How did the negotiations go?" Ada Wong asked. "Judging from your expression, it doesn't seem like they've failed, does it?"
“That’s right,” Chen Yong’an sat down on the soft sofa. “Auntie prefers to eat the whole cake by herself rather than let everyone have a piece.”
"Greedy, just as rumored," the angel gently massaged Chen Yong'an's temples. "What are you going to do next?"
"Let's fight, but how it goes depends on Katakuri's attitude... I hope he doesn't do anything foolish."
Chen Yong'an arched his back, shifting to a more comfortable posture. "Before the tea party, you shouldn't wander around outside. Stay in the hotel and conserve your energy."
“It’s a bit too passive,” Ada Wong said.
"There's no other way. If we initiate a war on our own initiative, all we'll get is a completely destroyed World of Warcraft. Not only will we not get any help, but it will also be detrimental to our negotiations with the remaining Four Emperors. It might even lead to an alliance between the Four Emperors and the World Government to oppose us."
Therefore, we must have a legitimate reason for our actions; we should avoid firing the first shot if possible.
Chen Yong'an's words instantly created a tense atmosphere in the room, as if a storm was brewing. (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the initial statement.)
Fortunately, they were not pushovers either, and they had prepared for this.
As the Grandmas' Tea Party drew near, the prominent figures who had received invitations gradually arrived at Cake Island, making the dessert city increasingly lively.
It's just that because Big Mom is one of the Four Emperors, none of the prominent figures she knows are big shots in the underworld.
Newspaper editors who sell newspapers without permission, maritime magnates who monopolize the New World's maritime trade, queens of the red-light district in the New World, and even organ traffickers and slave traders are all notorious figures.
At the port of Cake Island, Chen Yong'an finally met Morgans, the president of the World Economic News Agency, with whom he had cooperated for a long time.
A bird-bird fruit user, over three meters tall, who maintains his beast form year-round, and is in the Albatross form.
"Oh, we've finally met, my business partner."
“It’s a pleasure to meet you,” Chen Yong’an said, extending his hand to shake Morgans’s hand. “The greatest journalist in the world.”
"Hehehe~ It's all thanks to the constant stream of explosive news you provide that my World Economic News has become the world's best-selling news publisher ever!"
"It's a win-win situation. As long as we continue to cooperate, there will be plenty of opportunities like this in the future."
"That's it, that's it, hahahaha~"
"Morgans, could this sir be the currently invincible Sun God?"
Chen Yong'an and Morgans looked toward the person speaking and saw a woman in a white dress, blonde with blue eyes, dressed exquisitely, walking gracefully toward them.
Hmm... and she also has a rather voluptuous and explosive figure.
Her massive, imposing figure defied gravity, her waist was as slender as a willow swaying in the wind, and her hips were wider than her shoulders. She also had long, healthy, and sexy legs wrapped in silk stockings. She was an absolute stunner and immediately attracted Chen Yong'an's attention.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Stussy, and I'm known as the 'Queen of the Pleasure District' in the underworld."
When Chen Yong'an saw Stussy, he immediately realized her identity.
On the surface, she is the queen of the red-light district in the new world, but in reality, she is a powerful, multifaceted spy with exceptional physical skills and an imposing presence.
He was a CP0 member, an intelligence agency affiliated with the Celestial Dragons, who was infiltrated into the underground world.
He is a clone loyal to Vegapunk who was placed in CP0.
He is a person with a rather complicated identity.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, beautiful Miss Stussy,” Chen Yong’an said with a smile, shaking Stussy’s outstretched slender hand and subtly scratching her palm.
"Seeing is believing. You are much prettier than in the newspaper photos."
Chen Yong'an's suggestive gesture made Stusky flinch slightly, but he didn't react much, simply smiling as he withdrew his hand and said:
"You are much more handsome than in the photos. No wonder the girls under my command are always thinking about you, saying things like they would die happy if they could do business with you just once."
“I don’t frequent those brothels,” Chen Yong’an said, his gaze undisguisedly fixed on Stusi’s massive breasts. “But if you’re the one who personally serves me, that’s a different story.”
“You’re really joking,” Stussy said, covering his mouth and laughing uproariously.
Clearly, Stusey was very pleased that his charm had attracted Chen Yong'an.
Chapter 580: The Urge to Drink Blood
Morgans was a very sensible man. After seeing Stusey appear and start talking to Chen Yong'an, he left under the pretext that he had other things to take care of.
It's best not to disturb them.
Chen Yong'an didn't try to stop him. He preferred chatting with a beautiful, gentle woman with a good figure to chatting with an albatross who spoke with a translator's accent.
"Want to grab a couple of drinks?" Chen Yong'an invited. "I have quite a few fine wines on my ship. They may not be the rarest, but they're still a rarity in the New World."
“Okay, then I’ll take my leave,” Stussy agreed without hesitation, automatically taking Chen Yong’an’s arm but maintaining a proper distance from her chest as she walked toward the Lexington.
"You are welcome."
Chen Yong'an didn't like this kind of distance that felt like he was trying to hook up a rich guy, so he reached out and put his arm around Stussy's slender waist, closing the distance between them and letting Stussy's huge breasts press against his chest.
Chen Yong'an's utterly ungentlemanly behavior caught Stusi off guard, but given his own duties, he couldn't directly refuse. (The rest of the text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)
She could only bite her lip and endure Chen Yong'an's embrace and the overwhelming masculine scent emanating from him.
But to be honest, this feeling didn't bother Stussy.
He even had an urge to bite Chen Yong'an's neck and suck his blood.
His blood smells so good!
Xiang Touxi's lips, as red as blood, parted slightly, and her breathing quickened.
Thus, this queen of the underworld's pleasure quarters, whom countless people desired but could not have, and who was feared by all, obediently leaned against Chen Yong'an.
The sight shocked passersby on the dock so much that their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Stussy's body was very soft, and the aura emanating from her gave Chen Yong'an a very pure feeling, which was not at all like the aura that a woman who mingled in the underworld should have.
Chen Yong'an subconsciously looked down at Stussy and saw that her slightly reddened ears still had a light downy hair.
Coupled with Stussy's heart pounding like a deer, Chen Yong'an felt as if she were a virgin.
The queen of Pleasure Street is a virgin? That's really interesting.
Unfortunately, the Lexington was docked not far from them, only a few steps away. Before Chen Yong'an could do anything, Stussy took the opportunity of boarding the ship to distance himself from Chen Yong'an.
Once aboard the ship, Stusi, in an effort to quell his bloodlust and the earlier ambiguity, glanced around and changed the subject, saying, "Your ship is really nice; it has a very special feel to it."
"This is my home, so of course it has to be different from others."
"Where are your crew members?" Stusi noticed that there were only two people on deck, drinking tea and eating snacks.
Stussy knew that one of the women with a peculiar hairpin in her ponytail was named Eve, a female swordsman with terrifying swordsmanship.
Some well-meaning newspapers and magazines, based on Eve's performance during the Buster Call in Sabaody Archipelago and the Marineford War, have declared her the world's greatest female swordsman.
It's worth mentioning that the second-ranked female swordsman is 2B, who often follows Chen Yong'an around, carrying two sharp blades, one large and one small, with a cold demeanor, and serves as his bodyguard.
As for the other woman, Stussy, with her long flaxen hair and gentle demeanor, her name was unknown. All that was known was that she existed, but she had never left the ship; she was an enigmatic woman.
"They are resting at the hotel."
"Hmm...where exactly did you find these highly skilled, beautiful, and hot girls to be your crew members?"
"The world is so big, it is never short of potential strong people, only short of a pair of eyes to discover them and an opportunity to become stronger."
Chen Yong'an naturally wouldn't answer Stusi's question; it was a core secret of his team.
