The next day, around noon.
BIG MOM Palace Castle, back garden.
The tea party was finally successfully held here after being delayed for several days. There were many guests on the scene, tall and short, fat and thin, and dressed in different clothes. Vivian felt that there were a few who looked familiar, but after a careful look, he found that he could hardly even call out the names of most of them.
Yes, after Vivian "sold her body" last night, she entered the venue this morning at Garrett's invitation, bringing Fujitora and five other elite navy officers.
At this moment, all seven of them pretended to be nervous and excited to varying degrees, sitting upright at one of the round tables. Behind them, two pirates holding flintlock rifles were watching them, as if these two guys would immediately pull the trigger if they made any suspicious moves.
And the other side.
"Mom, this is a dessert I made especially for you early this morning."
Garette pushed the dining table radiantly and came in front of BIG MOM. She picked up several plates and placed them on the table one by one and opened them. Suddenly, all kinds of desserts made with butter came into everyone's sight.
There is no need to say much about egg tarts. In addition, there are cookies, puffs, fruit pudding, assorted mashed potatoes, etc.
Smelling the aroma emanating from the plate and looking at the appearance of these delicacies, most of which she had never seen before, Big Mom's mouth immediately began to water. She couldn't help but rub her hands together and asked, "Did you make all this, Garrett?"
"Yes." Garrett nodded.
However, just as she finished her words, the 24th Jam Minister, Duckworth, stepped out from behind Big Mom and said, "Don't be ridiculous, Garrett. This dessert must have been made by the chef who won the competition yesterday. After all, I tasted the egg tart myself yesterday."
Then he pointed at the egg tarts on the plate and chuckled, "Garrett, lying is not a good thing. Especially to your family..."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Garrett was furious, and veins suddenly appeared on her smooth forehead. "Victor taught me how to make this. I spent the whole morning tinkering in the kitchen. How can that be considered a lie?"
"Victor?"
"Who is Victor..."
The brothers and sisters of the BIG MOM Pirates looked at each other and said that they had never heard of this name.
Garrett explained: "Victor is the chef who won the dessert competition yesterday. I learned cooking skills from him yesterday, and I made these things under his guidance this morning..."
At this point, Garrett's face turned slightly red, and then she continued, "I also...I also promised to marry him, Mom...can we, can we take this opportunity today to make a marriage contract together?"
After the words fell, everyone, including Big Mom, showed the same expression as Sanji last night: =͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞(●⁰ꈊ⁰●|||)
"Did I hear you right?"
"Garret, will you agree to marry someone else?"
"Didn't you always hate marriage?"
"This time, I seem to have found my true love." Garette held the iron plate in both hands, turned around with a flushed face, crossed her feet and whispered.
Everyone: “… ”
"Oh My God.."
What the hell, is this the expression that would appear on Garrett's face
Everyone found it very unbelievable, thinking that Garrett might have really met her true love, and her entire personality had changed.
You know, in the past, when some sisters showed shyness and admiration towards men in front of her, she would turn her head away with disdain and sneer at them.
But now..
"Are you kidding me, Garrett? Engagement? Are you planning to get married without my permission?"
The expression on Big Mom's face suddenly became very unhappy.
You know, matters such as her own children marrying outsiders have always been decided by her personally.
And because of this, she never considers the other person's race or appearance, but only their strength and power.
In short, as long as one is strong enough or has enough influence to please her, he can become her son-in-law or daughter-in-law, and everything else is out of the question.
"Mom, Victor is very strong. I had a fight with him yesterday, and I was no match for him..."
"Oh, really?"
BIG MOM raised her eyebrows when she heard that.
Can you beat Garette
That strength can be barely considered qualified.
"But you only know entry-level Armament Haki, and your physical skills are terrible. Even if I beat you, I may not be qualified to be my son-in-law..." BIG MOM continued.
Garrett became anxious when she heard that. Her brown eyes turned around, and she immediately pushed the dessert on the table to Big Mom and said, "Mom, try this. It's delicious."
"Gurgle!"
BIG MOM, who had already drooled so much, couldn't bear it any longer, so she sat up straight, pretended to have a serious expression, picked up a piece of egg tart and put it into her mouth.
After chewing for about two or three seconds.
BIG MOM: (°ー°〃)!
What...what does this smell like
Why is there such delicious food
Fragrant, crispy, crunchy... No, it's soft... No...
In short, it was so delicious that she almost couldn't help but dance.
And besides that..
She put the pudding, puffs, cookies and other foods on the table into her mouth one by one and took a bite. Under the horrified gaze of her children, BIG MOM actually lay back, holding her huge face, which was much bigger than Yin Wankov's, with an extremely happy expression, and began to roll on the ground with a happy face.
"How can there be such delicious desserts?"
"Especially the thing called puff and egg tart..."
Those two foods even reminded her of the caramel cake she had eaten when she was a child in the convent.
So after a long time, under the gaze of everyone, Big Mom immediately turned over and sat up, looked at Garrett and said, "Where is that guy named Victor?"
"Over there." Garrett pointed at Vivian and others who were sitting upright.
Soon, Vivian was pointed at guns by the two pirates who were guarding him and was brought to BIG MOM.
"Are these the foods you taught my daughter Garrett to make?" BIG MOM sat on a chair, her huge body blocking the sunlight, and asked Vivian condescendingly.
"Yes, Ms. BIG MOM, if possible, I would like to marry your daughter." Vivian smiled and gave BIG MOM a gentleman's salute.
Who knew it would happen in the next second.
Swish!
Accompanied by a sharp sonic boom, BIG MOM suddenly raised her arm, aimed at the position where Vivian was standing, and punched down.
