[Year 1502]

It's a beautiful day out on the open sea, with a blue cloudless sky extending as far as the eye can see while the radiant blazing orb in the sky shines down its rays onto gentle rolling waves. Illuminating the countless small sea critters playfully swimming just under the ocean surface. A gentle wind blows by, carrying with it a fresh salty scent to any sailor nearby.

A perfectly natural and tranquil scene where one could simply relax and enjoy the beauty of open waters, perhaps even take a long refreshing nap while at it.

Unfortunately, this tranquility doesn't last for long as the waters suddenly break and become turbulent, the peaceful ambiance shattering to deafening roars of cannon fire and the clamorous symphony of metal clashing on metal.

The sound of chaos.

The source of this lies not far away near the nearest island's shores. An event so feared by the regular populace that at the barest whisper they can't help but defecate in their trousers and shake in their boots.

It's a full-fledged pirate battle! A ferocious, deadly, blood-spilling clash between two titanic pirate groups!

On one side, a formidable fleet of over 40 galleons sail against the opposition of over 100 smaller, but more agile ships advancing from the island bound side.

These ships, however, are not your ordinary pirate ships, no, they are strange and uncanny. Unlike anything one would imagine.

The galleons resembling ginormous green insect cocoons while proudly flying a pirate flag with a blood-red locust head at its center and four razor sharp cicada wings crisscrossing at the back. Creating a very unique and intimidating image.

While on the opposite side things are even more bizarre, with these smaller vessels completely foregoing any common sense and instead looking like something one would find under the desserts section of a restaurant menu.

That being giant triple-layered tart dishes covered in an assortment of fruits like blueberries and strawberries, topped with a giant mound of airy whipped cream with the words "TARTE" boldly written at the front, making one simply scratch their head and wonder how these things even float?

However, none of these oddities seem to faze either side as they ruthlessly ram into each other in giant showers of splintered wood and confectionary dust.

*Boom*

*Boom*

*Boom*

Cannons rage as their respective hulls collide, signifying for the real bloodshed to start. And that's exactly what happens as men on both sides swarm onto their enemies like hordes of angry ants out for blood.

From the Galleons side, savage-looking men with torn clothes and chipped swords jump onto their enemies with frenzy and madness. Baring their teeth, mocking, and cackling all the while.

While on the opposite side, a completely different scene takes place.

Lines upon lines of strange looking soldiers strangely resembling chess pieces similarly meet their charge. Fighting with coordination and discipline, using tactics and strategy at every moment of the battle.

And as these two sides clash it is quickly made obvious which is the superior force, as even though the ruthless pirates fight for all their worth, their opponents are simply too powerful. Fighting with the utmost coordination to overwhelm them with sheer numbers, quickly forcing them onto their back foot.

"Aaaagh!"

"Fuck off you pathetic looking- kggg"

"Don't let up! They are merely- "

Voices of the dead fill the air as rivers of blood begin to run, as even though these chess soldiers are goofy looking, they are no less ruthless than their opposition, perhaps even more so.

As when one of their brethren falls, the rest simply step over their corpse and continue with the bloody onslaught as if nothing happened, and as the minutes tick by the battle transition into a slaughterhouse. Countless corpses litter the ground as buckets full of piss, innards, and blood seep into the turbulent waters, turning it a dark crimson red.

However, a sudden shift is on the horizon.

Literally, as from the sky, giant swarms of foot long locusts begin to blanket the sky with a constant ear-piercing buzzing that would drive one crazy and gouge out their ears. And as these swarms thicken, they all drop like sledgehammers onto the battle below, and more specifically, onto the chess soldiers. In response the soldiers rain volleys of arrows into the sky and swing sword and spear, but to no use as they are quickly trampled and devoured until blood and guts is all that's left.

"Kagagaga, is this all that Emperor Big Mom has to offer?! Small chess men that don't even fill the stomachs of my pets and ships made out of dessert?! If this is how it is, then she should just give up and hand over the title of Emperor of the Seas to me! Kagagaga! Emperor Plague will soon be making his debut as the new Yonko of the seas! Kagagaga!" A large fat man maniacally laughs into the air from a much larger ship at the back of the cacoon fleet.

The origin of these creatures, evident by the hundreds of locusts crawling out from his skin and covering him from head to toe.

This repulsive man is known throughout the world as the infamous 500 million Belly pirate with the moniker of: The Fat Plague. Mainly known for his crimes of committing mass acts of genocide on unsuspecting towns and villages throughout the New World with his horrendous wave of locusts that leave nothing behind but blood and ruin, this instance not being much different…

"Aaah!"

"Get off! Get off!"

"Request backup! Request Backup!"

The defending chess soldiers cry in despair as swarms drop onto their Tarte ships one after the other, devouring everything within sight, the ships themselves included.

"Kagagaga, that's it my pets! Eat your fill because next we're going straight for that old hag's head- "the locust covered man goes to rant once more before suddenly being interrupted as a large shadow falls over the area. Blocking out the sun and plunging everything around for miles into darkness, as if night had fallen.

And as Fat Plague looks up, he forgets whatever he was about to say as his mouth hangs open while speechlessly staring up in utter shock.

Hundreds of meters in the sky, a massive, mile-wide black construct resembling a fly swatter is at this very moment approaching the sea at supersonic speeds! Breaking the sound barrier multiple times in the process!

"Aaaaaah! what the fu- "he goes to scream in despair but is not allowed to finish as the ginormous fly swatter falls onto the sea in a ginormous deafening splash, plunging him, his thousands of subordinates, his bugs, and his ships deep into the ocean never to be heard from again.

…

Not far away, on the cliff of the nearest island a giant man can be seen overlooking the scene.

Standing at 16 feet tall, built like a tank with muscles the size of tree trunks, wearing a traditional biker's outfit with an open black vest showing his shredded chest as well as spike studded jeans and boots.

Currently something supernatural seems to be happening to this man's left arm.

Instead of your regular human arm, it instead looks like a mass of white goopy substance covered in some sort of metallic black sheen. This same substance extending outwards and downwards, seemingly connected to the giant black construct now deep in the ocean.

"Wow! Big bro Katakuri, you really did it! Wiwiwiwi, you squashed them as if they were mere bugs! Wiwwiwwi!" To the right of the man, a purple haired 11-foot-tall woman with a long nose and a deep scar running through her face, comments in amusement at the scene of destruction.

"Kukukuku, was there really any doubt he could do it Brulee!? Perorin~ I always knew he could pull off such an attack! Kukukuku!" Continues another tall, colorfully dressed, lanky man standing at the opposite side while slowly licking a large swirly lollipop with his long pink tongue.

"Hmph, that's exactly what they are." Katakuri states as he reverts his arm back into its original shape before turning around and walking away, as if what he had just done was nothing to be impressed over.

"Come Perospero, Brulee, let the remaining forces in the area deal with the survivors, we have a much more important matter to attend to, as today we once again welcome new siblings into the world." He authoritatively orders as he walks towards a ship anchored not far away while looking out into the sea, where a strange island with a titanic white and pink wedding cake rising thousands of meters into the sky can be seen.

…

"Mamamama~ take a look at your new brothers Compote, aren't they cute?" A booming voice echoes around a gigantic pink chamber, where a 29-foot-tall woman with chubby features and flowing pink hair can be seen laying on a giant purple bed while holding two tiny and bloody newborns in her gigantic palms.

"Hahaha, twins this time, eh Mama~? They sure look like their father, what will you name them?" Another much smaller but still giant of a woman with messy green hair, purple lipstick, and a bizarre fruit bowl on her head replies with a soft smile as she looks down at the two newborns.

"Mamama~ the little white haired one will be named Raisin, and the black haired one will be named Sage! Charlotte Raisin and Charlotte Sage! The 33rd and 34th son of the Charlotte Family!"

To this the woman now known as Compote smiles and nods happily, "Charlotte Raisin and Charlotte Sage… two great names for two underappreciated but great ingredients!"

"Hahahamamamama, I'm glad you like them Compote, now here." The woman now revealed to be Charlotte Linlin says as she gently hands over the two newborns to her first daughter.

"Take them to the nursery, they will need to be cleaned and fed by the maids, in the meantime go order some of the chefs to bring me some more sweets! Mamama, the ones they brought earlier are already gone!" Linlin states as she looks around the now empty room that was not too long ago filled to the brim with sweets of all kinds… well before she devoured them all during her delivery that is…

"Alright Mama, I'll be off then," Compote simply says with a nod of understanding as she leaves the room and walks down a large pink candy themed hallway.

"Oh, such cuties! I'm already feeling sorry for how much the girls will coddle you two!" she says as she pinches the chubby cheeks of the two sleeping babies.

It takes a few minutes for her to traverse the long halls of the chateau and reach the nursery, where she smoothly opens the large double doors and steps into a large room filled with everything a small child could ever dream of.

Everything from Toys, children's books, candy, stuffed animals, to even floating balloons can be seen, making it seem more like a paradise for children than anything else.

As Compote sees this she smiles and walks over to a few cribs at the center of the room, rocking the sleeping babies in her arms all the while.

She approaches these cribs and looks over them, seeing 6 more babies in each one.

"Raisin, Sage, meet your 6 older siblings, Mobile, Marble, Myukuru, Maple, Brownie, and Joconde they will be the siblings you will see every day from now on," she says as she nears two empty cribs nearby and gently lays the two newborns in each one.

"Hopefully, you can both get some rest before your sisters come and bother you~"

She then walks off to talk to a nearby maid, making sure to notify her of the two new children in the royal family.
