Cake Island. A coachman drove a pig-drawn carriage, pulling a luxurious pink carriage, speeding along the wide, tree-lined road with a rumbling sound. When the pig carriage arrived at the entrance of a giant pink cream cake castle, the coachman immediately pulled the reins, stopped the pig, jumped off the carriage, and opened the carriage door. Mr. Sephiroth was the first to step out of the carriage, treading on the long red carpet towards the cake castle, followed closely by Stussy and the others.
The buildings on Cake Island were mostly various kinds of cakes, and the air was filled with a rich, sweet aroma. People in groups of three or five continuously walked towards the main entrance of the castle.
Big Mom convened this tea party under the pretense of celebrating the wedding of her third son, Charlotte Daifuku. His bride was the daughter of a powerful mafia boss from the West Blue. Therefore, among the guests attending this meeting, in addition to the nobles of Totto Land, Mr. Sephiroth also saw many major and minor mafia bosses from the West Blue.
Political marriage had long been a common practice for the Big Mom Pirates. Big Mom Charlotte Linlin had obtained various connections and channels of interest by marrying off her numerous children to various forces. Therefore, among the Four Emperors, Big Mom Charlotte Linlin's network and intelligence network were the most powerful!
Soon, Mr. Sephiroth arrived at the top floor of Cake City, at the entrance of the venue.
In front of a large door made of chocolate, a middle-aged man holding a candy cane stood. He wore a yellow robe and a top hat, and his tongue reached his chest. He was leading a team of formidable elite soldiers, conducting body searches on the entering guests before they entered the venue. This middle-aged man, whose appearance was different from ordinary people, was named Charlotte Perospero, the eldest son of Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, and a Lick-Lick Devil Fruit user.
However, his strength among the brothers and sisters of the Charlotte Family could only be ranked in the second tier, below the Sweet Commanders. Perospero looked at the silver-haired young man who was gradually approaching, and a wicked smile appeared on his face.
"Heh heh heh! Mr. Sephiroth, before entering the venue, please cooperate with us and hand over the weapons you are carrying for temporary safekeeping, and undergo a routine body search..." Upon hearing this, Mr. Sephiroth raised his eyebrows slightly, slowly raised his right hand, and placed it on the hilt of the butcher knife.
"Oh!? What if I refuse to cooperate?" As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Perospero's face gradually faded, and his eyes instantly became sharp. He said in a slightly low voice:
"For safety's sake, guests cannot attend the tea party without handing over the weapons they are carrying. This is Mama's will. Please don't make things difficult for me..."
As Perospero's words fell, the soldiers standing behind him, who were performing security duties with firearms, all raised their firearms and pointed them at Mr. Sephiroth.
"If you have the ability to take the sword from me, you can try... If you don't have the ability, shut your mouth and get out of the way!"
As he spoke, a suffocatingly oppressive aura emanated from Mr. Sephiroth, enveloping Perospero and the soldiers behind him. Through his Observation Haki, Mr. Sephiroth very acutely sensed that Perospero had just harbored a trace of malice towards him. He was not sure of the specific reason for the other party's malice. But... This did not prevent him from giving Perospero a hard time!
Mr. Sephiroth's two swords, whether it was the butcher knife or netherflame, after being fused with a Devil Fruit, their value had long surpassed ordinary Supreme Grade Swords. Due to the secrets contained within the two swords, unless it was someone he deeply trusted, he would never let others touch his swords. As for entrusting his two swords to the Big Mom Pirates for safekeeping? That was even more impossible! In the original plot, the Big Mom Pirates' moral standards were a benchmark in the pirate world. They could even pull off an assassination trick at a highly publicized wedding with everyone watching. Therefore, Mr. Sephiroth had no idea where their moral bottom line was... What!? They don't have one?
Then it's fine! Just as the two sides were at loggerheads, an indifferent voice came from the crowd. "Perospero, let him go straight in! Otherwise, this matter will become very troublesome... If Mama blames you, just say it was my decision." Perospero looked towards the source of the voice and saw Katakuri walking out of the crowd on the side, neither fast nor slow. "Alright!" Saying this, Perospero waved his hand somewhat helplessly, and the chocolate door behind him immediately slowly opened with a "crack!" sound. In the spacious wedding venue, there were large round tables filled with desserts, many guests were already seated, a professional band played lively and moving music, and in the center of the venue, there was a wedding cake more than ten meters high.
Sephiroth stepped through the chocolate door, he saw a silver-haired beauty, four meters six tall, with legs three meters long, brown skin, wearing a pink striped tight jumpsuit, a yellow scarf around her neck, and a white round hooded cap on her head. She was sitting on a purple sofa chair with her legs crossed. This unusually long-legged beauty was named Charlotte Smoothie, the 14th daughter of the Charlotte Family, one of the Sweet Commanders, and a Squeeze-Squeeze Devil Fruit user. Whatever it was, she could squeeze out various juices from it.
She was a woman who was very good at squeezing juice. "Welcome, distinguished guests! How about a welcome drink?" Smoothie greeted Mr. Sephiroth and the others who were gradually approaching.
Then, she gently raised her right hand and introduced three creatures that were each suspended by a chain from an iron railing: "Today's special is an elephant-bodied tiger that eats grass, a ferocious killer black bear, and a beautiful serial killer who specializes in hunting couples."
Mr. Sephiroth first glanced at the people and animals hanging from the iron railing. Then, he gently stroked his chin and teased, "Compared to these three... Actually, I'd rather drink the juice squeezed from you, this beautiful woman!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Smoothie's eyes twitched slightly.
Looking at Mr. Sephiroth standing in front of her, she knew that this guy was probably still unhappy about the body search at the entrance and wanted to intentionally cause trouble.
So, she could only suppress the urge to explode in anger and said with a forced smile, "This distinguished guest, you really like to joke... Since that's the case, I think the drink squeezed from this beautiful woman should be to your taste."
Saying this, Smoothie grabbed the serial killer beauty in the red dress who was tied to the iron railing. She twisted the other person's body forcefully, like twisting a rag. "Ah ah ah!"
Along with the serial killer beauty's painful groan, streams of orange juice immediately flowed down from her body, falling into the already prepared highball glass, creating a burst of white bubbles.
"Please enjoy!" Smoothie still maintained her forced smile and handed the highball glass to him.
Mr. Sephiroth reached out to take the highball glass containing the welcome drink from her hand, while muttering in a low voice: "Hey! You, why don't you understand human language! I already said I wanted to drink yours..."
Smoothie: "..."
