"Is everything taken care of?" asked 2B, who was on guard duty nearby.
"Hmm, everything went smoothly," Chen Yong'an said, removing Compound No. 5 from his arm. This compound was made using the blood of Perona, a user of the Ghostly Fruit.
—The Ghost Fruit has the ability to create ghosts and allow one's soul to leave the body.
With a little development, this ability could achieve the same effect as Freddy Krueger, the psychopathic dream killer from the classic movie "A Nightmare on Elm Street".
It plunges people into a dreamlike state where reality is indistinguishable, where they are controlled and murdered.
It was because of this ability that Chen Yong'an was able to drag Gaji into a dream controlled by him without disturbing or killing anyone while his soul was out of his body. He then used intimidation to extract information from Gaji and achieve cooperation.
This is a rather convenient capability.
The next day, the entire world was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
It wasn't just because of the tea party, but more so because of the joy surrounding the wedding of Charlotte Chiffon, the twenty-second woman, and Capone Bege, the captain and leader of the Flame Tank Pirates.
Although chiffon cakes are not well-liked by older women for some reasons, to outsiders, Mighty is ultimately a member of the Charlotte family, the Soft Minister of the Kingdom of Twilight, and his Mighty cakes are very popular among the people of Twilight.
Starting at eight o'clock in the morning, guests who came to attend the tea party began to leave their hotel and head to Auntie's Cake Castle.
The members of the Fourth Calamity Pirate Hunters also got up, washed, and tidied up to prepare for the upcoming tea party.
Around 9 o'clock, the group, all neatly dressed and in comfortable clothes, left the hotel and headed to Cake Castle.
Although they appeared so plain and unadorned compared to the other guests who came to the tea party wearing crowns and jewels, no one dared not give way to them when they walked down the street.
They were all very respectful and obsequious, as if the members of the Four Calamities Pirate Hunters were the true masters of the city.
The tea party will be held on the top platform of the Cake Castle, accessible via an exquisite elevator that resembles a work of art.
“This looks like it’s made of candy,” Mary Rose reached out and touched the ice-blue elevator railing. She had an urge to lick it, but then she remembered how many people had touched it and decided against it.
“If I’m not mistaken, this should have been made by Candy Minister Perospero using his Devil Fruit powers,” Mai Shiranui said, reaching out to touch it. The spot she touched melted instantly, like a hot knife hitting butter.
"Just as the intelligence indicated, high temperatures are Perosperoli's weakness."
Mai Shiranui felt a surge of joy. Before arriving at Whole Cake Island, the group had already assigned their opponents based on intelligence. Mai Shiranui, who possessed the Flame-Flame Fruit and could manipulate flames, was to face Perospero, the user of the Lick-Lick Fruit.
Candy that's afraid of fire is a natural counter to fire!
"Don't be too careless, or you might accidentally capsize in the gutter," Chen Yong'an warned.
"Of course I know," Mai Shiranui stuck out her tongue. "I will be extremely careful, don't worry."
“The captain is too cautious when facing the enemy,” Ada Wong laughed. “It reminds me of when we were dealing with Crocodile; we were just as careful.”
“It’s never a bad thing to be careful,” Chun-Li said seriously. “It would be troublesome if we fell into the enemy’s trap because of carelessness.”
"Nervous?" Tifa noticed the unease Laura showed through her expression and actions. "Why don't we go back to the ship? We can look after the Lexington with D.Va. It'll be fine."
“No need,” Laura shook her head, her heart filled with a strong desire for adventure. “This is my choice. I want to take this opportunity to see the strength of the world’s powerful people.”
Seeing Laura's resolute attitude, Tifa didn't say anything more.
Upon reaching the top floor of the Cake Castle, there is one last procedure before entering for the tea party.
That means a body search, forcing you to hand over all your weapons.
The older woman wouldn't allow anything to go wrong during her tea party!
"What did you say? A body search?"
Chen Yong'an placed his hand on the hilt of the Black Blade Autumn Water at his waist, looking at the petty thug-like leader in front of him with a gloomy expression. "Whose body are you going to search? Tell me again if you dare."
"I-I'm sorry..." The leader was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly. "This-this is my mother's order. Please don't make things difficult for us..."
"An order?" Chen Yong'an scoffed. "Why should I obey her orders? I'll give you three seconds to get out of here, or I'll chop you up!"
The leader was already sweating profusely with fear. Whether he let Chen Yong'an and his men enter with weapons or tried to stop Chen Yong'an, there was only one outcome for him.
A dead end!
This is the feeling of powerlessness caught between two powerful figures. No matter which decision you make, you can't escape being crushed!
"Let them in. I'll take responsibility if anything happens."
The junior leader looked in the direction of the sound and, upon seeing that it was Katakuri, one of the Three Sweet Commanders, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He's alive now.
Chen Yong'an glanced at Katakuri and said, "Is this your answer?"
Katakuri's face was terribly grim. He didn't say much, only nodding faintly. (The rest of the text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)
Allowing Chen Yong'an and his men to bring weapons into the tea party venue was tantamount to condoning their attack on the old lady.
"We will stop you."
Katakuri suddenly said as Chen Yong'an passed by, "Do your best to fulfill your responsibilities as children."
Chapter 585: Clash, Chen Yong'an VS. the Older Woman
As the guests and hosts took their seats, the entire venue was filled with laughter and chatter. Everyone enjoyed the delicious food on the table, setting aside their public status and position. It was just like a regular tea party, with no hint of hostility.
When the mountain of wedding cake was brought out and the main characters of the wedding made their appearance, the atmosphere in the entire venue reached its peak, with everyone cheering for the newlyweds and offering their blessings.
After exchanging rings and sharing a vow kiss, the wedding concluded smoothly, and it was time for the final cake-cutting ceremony.
The older woman looked at Chen Yong'an, who was sitting in the VIP section, with a sinister gaze. "Come over here, Chen Yong'an, come and share this delicious wedding cake with me."
“Alright,” Chen Yong’an straightened his clothes, placed his sword on the chair, and let down his guard as he walked toward the exquisitely decorated cake.
All the members of the Charlotte family and their pirate crews in the vicinity revealed a hint of ill intent upon seeing this scene.
It was as if watching a fat sheep about to take the bait and be slaughtered.
Only the second son, Katakuri, looked increasingly grave. He knew that this operation would not go smoothly, and might even fail.
They are the real prey in this operation!
The middle-aged woman grinned, looking at Chen Yong'an, who was much younger than her and shorter than her thigh, and said, "By the way, I've thought about your suggestion from a few days ago and I have an answer."
"Oh?" Chen Yong'an looked up at the ill-intentioned middle-aged woman. "So, what's your answer?"
"Of course... we refuse!"
The woman's face suddenly turned ferocious and terrifying, like a man-eating beast. The knife she used to cut the cake gleamed coldly as she swung it down at Chen Yong'an!
"Let's do it!"
Charlotte Perospero, the eldest son and Minister of Candy, followed closely behind, waving her candy scepter and spraying out large amounts of sticky syrup, intending to envelop 2B, Tifa, and the others!
It will fail!
Katakuri, who can briefly foresee the future, instantly saw through everything: Big Mom would be knocked away by Chen Yong'an's attack, and Perospero's syrup would be completely consumed by the towering flames!
Just as Katakuri foresaw the future, the moment Big Mom raised her sword to swing it down at him, Chen Yong'an clenched his fist, wrapped it with terrifying Conqueror's Haki, and with a shorter attack distance and a faster attack speed, he unleashed a punch at Big Mom that made the heavens and earth change color!
"boom!!"
The burly middle-aged woman was punched and sent flying like a cannonball away from the large platform where the tea party was being held!
Just as Katakuri had foreseen, Perospero's attack resulted in a blazing fire tornado that shot into the sky, not only devouring the syrup that surged like waves, but also fueling the fire and increasing its power, causing a fiery explosion that spread outwards!
"Bang!!"
In an instant, the heat wave from the fireball blasted away all the Charlotte family members who were surrounding 2B and the others!
Some of the family members who were closer and less powerful were directly defeated!
A huge open space was cleared out!
"So this is your answer," Chen Yong'an said calmly, watching the middle-aged woman return on the thundercloud [Zeus], her hair disheveled and exuding an aura of royalty.
That attack was powerful enough to instantly kill most of the powerhouses below the level of the Four Emperors.
But against the old lady with maxed-out defense, nicknamed the "Iron Balloon," it was simply not enough. At most, it could only cause her some pain and minor injuries!
“That’s right,” the middle-aged woman with blood dripping from her mouth grinned maliciously, “It’s such a waste that you have that thing. Joint world rule is bullshit! There should only be one king in this world, and that’s me!!”
"Did you hear that?" Chen Yong'an looked at Morgans, who was trembling with excitement. "It was the Kingdom of Ten Thousand that attacked me first. I was just trying to protect myself. I didn't start the war on purpose."
“Of course, Your Majesty the Sun God,” Morgans bowed to Chen Yong’an, “I will truthfully inform the world about everything concerning you, fulfilling my responsibility as a media professional.”
"Report? Let's talk about that after we get out of here alive! Only the victor has the right to spread the truth!" (The rest of the text appears to be nonsensical and unrelated to the news report.)
The old woman, like a demon, manipulated Zeus the thundercloud, descending from the sky. Her military saber, Napoleon, trailed red and black lightning symbolizing the dominance of the emperor, and slashed down at Chen Yong'an!
This one strike can even cut a small mountain in two!
Chen Yong'an looked solemn as he caught the black sword Autumn Water thrown by 2B. He took a step forward, and as his aura surged, pieces of blue dragon scales appeared, covering his neck and wrists. Emerald green dragon horns grew from his forehead. He then swung a sword wrapped in Conqueror's Haki at the same time!
The Armament Haki of the two peak experts clashed from a distance, and the resulting shockwaves instantly assaulted the entire venue platform!
Some of the weaker guests and members of the Big Mom Pirates even fainted!
Even the sky was torn open with a deep crack!
The guests, who were excited about the tea party and wedding just moments before, were horrified and scattered in all directions!
"Could this be the legendary clash of Conqueror's Haki?"
On the ground, a pirate who wasn't even qualified to attend the tea party looked at the terrifying crack in the sky and felt his legs go weak. "With this level of Conqueror's Haki, what will become of Whole Cake Island!"
"The world is doomed!"
A captain, whose power had been completely devoured by the old woman and who was now reduced to a drunkard, exclaimed excitedly, "Go for it! Lord Sun God!"
Vice Admiral Momonga, who was waiting in the waters surrounding the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Kingdoms, looked at the strange cracks on the distant horizon and his face showed an unprecedented solemnity.
War has begun; it was unavoidable!
"All personnel, prepare for battle!"
"This form is that of an Azure Dragon?"
Despite the overwhelming aura emanating from the two top-tier powerhouses, Morgans was filled with excitement and picked up his camera to capture the scene before him.
"This is a new form that has never been shown to outsiders before! This is big news! Quickly show your strength and let the world witness your terror!"
"A blue dragon like Kaido's? No, it feels completely different from Kaido's blue dragon!"
Greed twisted the woman's expression, making it increasingly ferocious and terrifying. "This is the power to dominate the world... Give it to me now!"
"Want it? You're not worthy!"
Chen Yong'an exerted his strength and sent the old woman flying with a single sword strike!
"Your Conqueror's Haki is far too weak; you have no right to dominate the world!"
Chen Yong'an pressed his advantage, and with another slash, aimed straight for the old woman's throat!
The middle-aged woman, possessing powerful Observation Haki, perfectly predicted Chen Yong'an's next move and shouted, "Zeus!"
Yes, Mom!
One second Zeus was as soft as cotton, the next he turned pitch black and transformed into a raging thundercloud!
"The majestic drums!"
A violent burst of lightning erupted instantly, like a purple spear, heading straight for Chen Yong'an's storefront!
Chapter 586: Melee
As the conspiracy failed and Chen Yong'an finally confronted the older woman, 2B and others on the platform below also began their counterattack.
Mona was the first to make a move.
—A few seconds later, she saw Charlotte Katakuri, the user of the Mochi Mochi Fruit, use her awakened fruit technique, turning the entire ground into sticky, chewy mochi, trapping them inside.
Mona absolutely cannot allow this passive future to happen!
The Eye of the Water God, hidden in his chest, shone with a deep blue light. The Four Winds Codex, used to enhance the power of spells, floated in front of him without wind, swirling with shimmering water. With a push of his hands, a surge of powerful elemental energy instantly swept across the entire arena platform!
However, at this moment, Katakuri foresaw everything that was about to happen, and there was no time for the others to dodge!
As the dazzling starry sky was reflected on the ground, everyone present was imprisoned inside bubbles of varying sizes!
"You think you can imprison us with such a simple trick? You underestimate the Four Emperors' crew!"
Katakuri drew the trident [Earth Dragon] hidden in his wrist and broke free from the bubble with a thrust!
But at the very moment the bubble burst, Katakuri couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
These bubbles actually have the power of a small bomb!
"But even a moment's delay is enough to hinder your actions!"
