All Nations, Totland.
34 islands are dotted around the Cake Island and are governed by 34 "ministers" respectively. They form a tight disk around the Cake Island where Big Mom is located, accepting the rule of the Four Emperor Charlotte Lingling.
Each Yonko has his or her own unique preferences, or dreams.
Kaido wanted the "greatest war in history", so he made a deal with Doflamingo, used artificial devil fruits to create an army of "Givers", and then fought against Wano and the Black Snake Generals, working together to achieve their goals. Prepare for war.
"Whitebeard" Edward Newgate has no intention of competing for the Pirate King. His biggest dream is to get a "family". Since most of the crew members are people who are despised by society, "Whitebeard" regards the crew members as sons and family members. , everyone was full of admiration and gratitude to him, so they affectionately called him "Dad".
“There are three things in the world that are unstoppable: people’s pursuit of freedom and dreams, the wheel of history moving forward, and the inherited will.”
Shanks kept Roger's words in mind and blocked one arm in the new era, waiting for Monkey D. Luffy to inherit Roger's will and turn the world upside down.
Charlotte Lingling's dream is to create a utopia where nuns can be happy and all races in the world can live happily together.
That was the dream that Sister Carmel once told her. After Carmel and his companions disappeared, Charlotte Lingling inherited this will.
So although on the surface, Totland is just a sea area ruled by pirates, Big Mom considers herself a queen and has built it into a country.
At this moment, the core of all nations, Cake Island.
In a room completely decorated with candies and cookies, Charlotte Katakuri, the leader of the four generals of the "Big Mom Pirates" and the pink minister, looked gloomy and ugly.
"When did it start?"
Katakuri asked in a deep voice with an extremely cold voice.
In his palm, a palm-sized piece of paper of life was burning rapidly. The scarlet sparks and charred edges symbolized the withering of life, and wisps of ashes gradually dispersed in the air.
This is the life sheet of his brother, Charlotte Owen!
Perospero, Katakuri, Daifuku, and Owen, as the four eldest brothers of the Charlotte family, have had a close relationship since childhood.
And Katakuri is a gentle brother who is willing to play the perfect man for his younger brothers and sisters. Not to mention being in a life and death crisis, even if someone bullies them and touches a hair, he will violently kill!
"It's been more than half an hour, Katakuri-nii..."
Hearing this, Charlotte Moscato, the ice cream minister among the 34 ministers, answered with a cold sweat from the side.
"Brother, my mother doesn't know about this yet. I stopped the messenger."
"Well, you did a great job, Moscato."
Katakuri forced a smile on his face and praised Moscato.
"My mother has only had one episode of Sireia. Don't stimulate her now."
Charlotte Lingling's schizophrenia is very scary. Once it attacks, she will fall into madness, smashing and causing destruction everywhere.
Moreover, after the onset of the disease, he disowned his relatives, even killed his own son, and refused to listen to anyone's words. There was no other way to restore her sanity except to let her eat the delicious food she wanted to eat.
Her last illness had been just a day ago. For safety reasons, Moscato had been waiting outside the castle, so he had the opportunity to intercept the messenger.
After a pause, Katakuri looked at the life paper that was almost burned out in his hand, his face turned cold, and he asked.
"Where did Owen last say he went?"
"It's Poli Island... They were supposed to hand in this year's offerings a month ago, but they didn't, so Brother Owen took his men to teach them a lesson."
Moscato answered quickly, and then couldn't help but ask: "Brother Katakuri, brother Owen, he..."
"He's fine for now. He was probably captured after being defeated."
Although there was only a small piece of life paper left in his hand, fortunately, the burning speed had stopped. After all, Owen is the best among the 34 ministers. Although his strength is not as good as the four dessert generals, his vitality is very tenacious.
This answer made Moscato breathe a sigh of relief. He clenched his fists and asked for a fight: "If mother knew about this, she might punish Brother Owen! Brother Katakuri, let me lead the Angry Legion!"
"No need. If you can defeat Irving, it's useless if you go."
Katakuri coldly rejected the proposal. As the eldest brother, Irving is ranked among the top ten in the Charlotte family. Although Moscato is good in strength, he is not even close to Irving.
An unknown enemy that could seriously injure Irving and be on the verge of death in just half an hour, Moscato went there to deliver food.
Katakuri didn't want to lose another brother.
Yes, he was prepared for the worst.
"Call Brother Perospero and Mondor over. Poli Island is not far away. I'll go back quickly."
Moscato raised his head in shock when he heard this and looked at Katakuri in disbelief.
Finally, he nodded solemnly and bowed.
"clear!"
…
Meanwhile, Whitebeard rules a quiet island at the edge of the sea.
A middle-aged blind man was walking on the street with a cane. He was wearing coarse linen clothes. His clothes were stained and he looked like a beggar.
As if he was too hungry, the blind man stood there and swallowed. Hearing the hawker's cries in his ears, he considered for a moment, then turned and walked towards the roadside stall.
"Where did this old beggar come from? Get out of here! Don't disturb my business!"
The boss watched him carefully touching the edge of the table and sitting down, and suddenly frowned impatiently.
Although the island under the protection of Whitebeard is considered peaceful and harmonious compared to other places in the New World, it is not rich enough to give charity at will.
He didn't just pick up the rolling pin and chase the person away, because the boss had to take into account his age and being blind, so he inevitably felt sympathy.
"Please bring me a bowl of soba noodles..."
Putting a package the size of a human head on the table, the blind man said to the store owner in a pleasant manner, then reached out to touch the package and added with fear.
"Please don't get me wrong, I have money! How much is a bowl of noodles?"
“400 Baileys…”
The shop owner secretly said something troublesome, but since he has money, he is not a beggar but a customer. Even though his clothes are a little dirty, he can just treat himself as doing good deeds.
After saying that, the shop owner turned around and shouted to the kitchen.
“A bowl of soba soba noodles!… Add a fried egg!”
The old blind man was stunned and quickly clarified: "Boss, I didn't ask for fried eggs."
"I know, let me treat you!"
Glancing at him impatiently, the chubby boss sat back in his chair, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
The old blind man: "..."
The face was indescribably weird.
Wow!
At this time, it seemed that the move was too big. While the blind man was taking out the money, a lot of sundries fell out of the package and scattered all over the floor.
Also mixed in among them was a lavender fruit the size of a fist.
It was a fruit with a snail-shaped spiral pattern and a shape like a pineapple. It fell to the ground and made a "dong" sound.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll take care of it right now."
The blind man apologized quickly, then lay down on the ground and groped with his hands, putting things back into the cloth bag one by one. The shop owner didn't care either, he just continued to secretly say "trouble" and ignored him.
However, he didn't notice that when the blind man picked up the fruit, the eyes of several customers who were eating noodles in the store suddenly opened up.
They watched directly as the blind man put the fruit away, then looked away and looked at each other.
