Seeing Kaido and Blackbeard appear together—
The corner of Doflamingo's mouth twitched violently, disbelief filling his heart.
What kind of joke is this?!
How did these two end up together?!
Since when could they get along?!
And also—
Who the hell are you calling "Joker"?!
However, Doflamingo was someone who could endure what others couldn't.
He forcefully suppressed his shock and squeezed out his signature smile.
"Fufufufu… Kaido, Blackbeard… what an… unexpected combination."
Kaido had no patience for small talk and immediately demanded:
"Cut the crap! Where is that brat Leno?! The location you gave me is useless!"
Doflamingo spread his hands helplessly.
"I'm looking for him too."
"But his ship seems to have vanished into thin air! Observation Haki can't detect it, and I can't see it either."
"I even activated the tracker I secretly placed on Sugar earlier—but the signal is completely scrambled. There's no way to trace it!"
"Nani?!"
Kaido frowned deeply, his face full of displeasure.
A powerful pressure bore down on Doflamingo.
If Kaido couldn't find him, it meant he hadn't seen him.
If Doflamingo couldn't find him—
It meant he was useless!
"You trash! You can't even keep track of one person!"
Doflamingo felt suffocated, cold sweat forming on his forehead.
Anger surged in his heart.
If he had greater strength, would he have to endure this humiliation?
Blackbeard stroked his chin, thinking.
"That guy Leno… his Devil Fruit abilities are quite strange."
"Maybe it's another ability we don't know about causing this."
As expected—
Your greatest enemy understands you best.
Having suffered multiple setbacks at Leno's hands, Blackbeard believed he understood him well.
And this time—
He wasn't far off.
Kaido and Doflamingo both found his reasoning convincing.
Leno's abilities were indeed bizarre.
"If we can't find him, there's nothing we can do," Doflamingo said helplessly.
Even after clearing himself of incompetence—
The problem remained unsolved.
Kaido snorted irritably and let Doflamingo off for now.
He still had use for him.
So he issued a new order:
"Since we can't find Leno, go handle something else for me first!"
Doflamingo was taken aback.
"What is it?"
Internally, he cursed—Kaido was treating him like a subordinate without any courtesy!
"Search the seas for all Zoan-type Devil Fruit users—especially powerful Ancient Zoans and Mythical Zoans! I need that information!"
"Zoan users?" Doflamingo was puzzled, but still nodded.
"Understood."
At that moment—
The Den Den Mushi on Kaido's body began ringing.
"Purururu… Purururu…"
Frowning, he picked it up.
The Den Den Mushi immediately mimicked a figure with a hat and bright red lips.
"Kaido! It's me!" came the voice of Big Mom, Charlotte Linlin.
"Linlin? What do you want?" Kaido replied impatiently.
"Mamamamama! Watch your tone, brat! I'm hosting a tea party—come attend!"
"I don't have time! I'm busy!" Kaido rejected without hesitation.
Big Mom's voice carried a hint of displeasure.
"Hmph! I was even planning to introduce the newly crowned Yonko, Leno, to you. Don't be ungrateful."
"What did you say? Leno?!"
Kaido's voice suddenly rose, his eyes lighting up instantly.
"You're saying Leno will be at your tea party?"
"Of course! He already agreed! What, now you're interested?"
Big Mom sounded slightly puzzled.
She didn't know what connection Kaido had with Leno.
"Worororo! Good! Linlin, I'm attending your tea party!"
Kaido immediately changed his tone, now sounding enthusiastic.
Big Mom knew his sudden change was related to Leno, but she didn't bother digging deeper.
After all, the time was approaching anyway.
"Suit yourself. You'll understand when you get here. Don't forget to bring a gift!"
"Got it!"
Kaido hung up, a grin spreading across his face.
A gift?
Bring my ass—his presence alone was the gift.
He turned to Doflamingo.
"Doffy, no need to look for Leno anymore! I'll just wait for him at Linlin's tea party!"
"Focus on gathering information about Zoan users for me!"
Then he patted Blackbeard on the shoulder.
This newly recognized "little brother" was still useful—
If nothing else, he was both cannon fodder and a Devil Fruit extractor.
"Teach, let's go! I'll take you to meet Linlin! We'll deal with Leno at the tea party!"
"Zehahaha! Big Mom's territory, huh? Sounds interesting!"
Blackbeard laughed loudly.
For a brief moment, Kaido felt a strange sense of déjà vu—
Like he was seeing Rocks again.
But recalling how Blackbeard had been scrambling in panic back in Wano, he shook his head.
What a joke.
His former captain was no such coward.
The two wasted no time and immediately set off toward Totto Land.
Doflamingo watched their departing figures, his expression shifting.
"Leno is going to Big Mom's tea party? And what exactly is Kaido planning?"
Meanwhile—
Aokiji, Kuzan, who had left Marine Headquarters—
Didn't leisurely ride his bicycle this time.
Instead, he brought along a large number of elite Marines—
Heading toward Totto Land.
Leno, however, knew nothing of this.
He had no idea that Kaido and Blackbeard were already waiting for him at Big Mom's tea party.
As the date of the tea party approached—
The Fallen One drew closer and closer to Totto Land.
Finally—
The day of the tea party arrived.
The Fallen One slowly sailed into Totto Land's waters, where islands and buildings made entirely of food began to appear.
The ship docked at the port of Whole Cake Island.
After all, Leno was a newly crowned Yonko.
The Big Mom Pirates sent a grand reception.
Leading them was Charlotte Katakuri, with the tall Smoothie beside him, and the cold-faced Galette.
It wasn't just a welcome—
It was also a show of vigilance.
"Welcome to Totto Land, Fallen One Leno," Katakuri said calmly.
A Yonko?
His mother was one too.
His gaze swept over Leno, then shifted to the crew disembarking behind him.
When his eyes passed over Boa Hancock—
And the nearly identical S-Snake beside her—
Katakuri's pupils contracted slightly.
"Two… Pirate Empresses?"
Smoothie and Galette also showed surprise, their gazes moving back and forth between Hancock and S-Snake.
Then they noticed Nico Robin, Domino, Kalifa, Nami, Bonney, Little Alice, Perona, and the rest—
An entire crew of women.
Now they were certain.
This was Leno.
As expected—
Aside from him, there wasn't a single male on the ship.
Some faces matched bounty posters, others were unfamiliar—
But none of them felt weak.
Katakuri's expression grew more serious.
"Can't underestimate him…"
Meanwhile, Leno looked at Katakuri—the embodiment of a true man—and grinned.
"Big Mom sure values me, the new Yonko… sending the three of you to welcome me."
