Beta: ANUBIS the god king.
Chapter LIX.
Last Time.
Naruto turned and punched Grount into a wall and knocked him out as he went into his chakra mode and attacked everyone in the room and in the blink of an eye, they all fell unconscious.
Meanwhile, Nami and Chopper make it outside, and though they see the Marines mobilizing to confront Luffy, Nami is confident that Luffy can take care of them. She and Chopper then prepare to raid the food storage facility to get food for their journey. Brook's detached soul then appears, and upon Luffy's asking he reveals that Nami and Chopper are headed for the food storage facility.
Luffy and Carrot then run with Brook's soul down the hall, and Grount and Bonham follow them along with Zappa, who has only been made more amorous by Carrot's blow. Several Marines rush in to stop the intruders, but Carrot knocks them all out with her agility.
Later, the trio are in the storage as Nami and Chopper run in before Naruto seals a box of each food type in a scroll before looking to see Grount standing at the gate. "What are you?" Grount asked seeing the disappearing boxes.
"Well… I'm a pirate now." Naruto replied with a shrug.
"You're the worst pirate I've heard of."
Naruto smiled at that. "but you have heard of me. Now, you all will always remember this as the day you almost caught the great Naruto Uzumaki!" He then created clones that took the others to the ship. "Bye!" He flipped them off with both hands as he disappeared in a flash.
They then sailed after getting the sub back as the sun started to rise.
Now.
The Sunny
CRACK!
A storm appeared having Naruto curse before looking back. "Someone man the helm! I'll look after dinner!" He yelled as Nami ran to the steering wheel and navigated through the storm before it calmed down and started snowing.
A Few Days Later.
The sun beats down on the Straw Hats as Luffy, Brook, Pedro, and Chopper fish when they enter the very hot atmosphere the other day ruining some of their saved food.
"Hot~" Chopper whined having not been this hot since Punk Hazard's lava-damaged side. "I'm gonna die..."
"We're like you… We Minks have a low tolerance for heat." Pedro said weakly as well.
"It's really hot. I'm gonna become a mummy..." Brook said hunched over the railing. "A mummy… A mummy! Nami-san, if I become a mummy, it'd be a little bit of a resurrection for me, isn't it?
"I don't care," Nami said as she, Carrot, and Pekoms lay on the deck waiting for the others to catch a fish.
Naruto, shirtless sailed the Sunny as he tried to ignore the heat. Suddenly, Luffy gets a bite on his fishing rod and struggles to bring the very large fish out of the water. He finally manages to pull up the fish and smiles. "Let's eat!"
"Wait Luffy."
As they prepare to cook and eat it, Chopper notes that its color seems strange, and decides to look for information on it in Sanji's locker. Chopper manages to find a book about fish buried in several magazines with women on them and discovers that the fish they caught has extremely poisonous skin that will cause instant death.
He goes outside to tell the team about this, only to find that Luffy has already started eating the skin. Luffy feels fine, and Nami panics at the news, but Chopper tells her that they can still eat the fish if they skin it and prepare it according to Sanji's instructions.
Later, Nami and Carrot cook the fish according to Sanji's instructions, making enough servings for everyone. As they walk back outside, they see that Chopper is in a panic, as Luffy has collapsed and lost most of his functions from the skin poisoning.
"Crying isn't gonna help. Here, you need to keep your strength if you're going to help Luffy." Nami said insisting that Chopper eat.
Chopper reluctantly does so but continues panicking and crying as he does not have the supplies necessary to treat the poisoning. They note that Luffy is still alive despite the fish's skin normally causing instant death, but they still need to get to an island and find herbs immediately.
However, Pekoms warns them that they cannot do this right away, as they are currently entering Big Mom's territory. Planning to stop for help at any island they come across, the Sanji Retrieval Team looked up and saw cotton candy snow falling on them.
"I know the weather is strange in the Grand Line but this is ridiculous," Naruto said as cotton candy fell on his nose.
He blinked as Nami licked it off, smiled, and kissed him quickly as Chopper and Carrot ran around catching the candy as well. Their Den Den Mushi suddenly starts ringing, and Pekoms states that it is a signal from the Territorial Sea Slugs warning them that they are definitely in Big Mom's territory.
"Hide!" Pekoms yelled knowing that any ship in the area would be one of Big Mom's or her allies.
Suddenly, the Sanji Retrieval Team is approached by a mysterious ship, and Pekoms states that it is probably a Tarte, one of their scout ships. He has the team hide while he settles matters with the Tarte, but discovers instead that the ship belongs to Germa 66.
The ship is just a large Den Den Mushi with part of a castle on it with masts that have black sails with a white '66' on them.
All but Naruto sees someone who looks like Sanji and calls out as such.
"I'm not Sanji!" The man yelled out as they got a good look at him.
He has almost identical facial features to Sanji, including the distinctive curly eyebrows that resemble the numeral 6. However, his hair is green and slicked back into a cowlick, his eyebrows curl in the inverse direction, and he lacks facial hair. He is also more muscular and notably taller.
He's wearing a green raid suit, comprising a shirt bearing the number "66" in gold, and a black hooded cloak bearing a green "4" on the left. He's wearing a striped belt with the Germa 66 symbol as a belt buckle, metal gloves, an orange ascot, sunglasses, and black earphones on the top of his head.
Vinsmoke Yonji, Germa 66, (Winch Green).
He took off his glasses and looked down at them from his spot on the ship. "My name is Yonji!" He introduced himself.
"Not Sanji but Yonji?!" Chopper asked as he stared up at Yonji.
"My relationship with your friend Sanji is a secret of secrets."
"You're his brother!" Naruto yelled up putting on a dark green jacket over a black shirt.
And sweat dropped seeing Yonji act like Sanji whenever he saw a woman as he stared at his girl. 'Doesn't surprise me.'
Yonji prepares to leave, and the team asks him for an antidote to save Luffy, but he coldly refuses. The team tries to get confrontational when suddenly Yonji is kicked off his ship by a woman into the ocean.
"Stop being so stingy!" She said before jumping to the Sunny.
She is a slim young woman with shoulder-length pink hair, covering her right eye and curling upwards at the tips. She also has blue eyes and light pink lipstick. She also has distinctive curly eyebrows that form a spiral resembling the number "6". However, unlike Sanji and Yonji, her eyebrows appear to swirl symmetrically in opposing directions.
Both of her thighs are tattooed with the number "6". She is wearing a raid suit, comprising a light pink dress with a split in the center going down to her stomach and her navel, and covered by gold target-shaped symbols. She's also wearing dark pink gauntlets, a pair of black headphones with the number "66" on them, and a patterned purple and black cloak shaped like the wings of a moth.
Vinsmoke Reiju Germa 66 (Poison Pink).
"Hello, I'm sorry. My younger brother is a cold-blooded jackass."
Yonji then jumps out of the water and expresses his annoyance at his sister, Reiju, as he hovers in midair. The team is bewildered by Yonji's ability to float and wonders if it is a Devil Fruit, but Nami says he would have been incapacitated by the water if that were the case.
Pekoms then reveals that Yonji gained his abilities from science, being a member of the Vinsmoke Family, the leaders of Germa 66 who possess advanced scientific technology. Chopper is awestruck by the ability
Pekoms explains that Big Mom has been looking to get her hands on the technology for a long time. Brook recognizes the Vinsmoke name, recalling that the family used to rule over the entire North Blue. Reiju affirms this, revealing that even though they no longer have any physical territory, they still hold royal status and can attend Levely. Brook becomes infatuated with Reiju and asks to see her panties, but Nami hits him.
Reiju turns her attention to the incapacitated Luffy and notes that he must have eaten the Armored Stonefish from the Hot-Hot Sea, which would normally kill even a giant instantly. However, she calls it her favorite delicacy and presses her lips against Luffy's. She then sucks all of the poison out of his body, transferring it to herself without suffering any negative effects.
The team is shocked to see this, but Reiju assures them that everything is fine since she is the Poison Pink. Luffy then regains consciousness, and Chopper and Carrot tearfully embrace him. He does not remember what happened and asks for more of the Armored Stonefish's skin, and Nami angrily tells him what happened.
Luffy sees Reiju's curly eyebrow and realizes she is Sanji's sister, and Reiju thanks him for taking care of Sanji during his absence from their family. She reveals that their father had been looking for him since he left, and when Sanji first got a bounty two years ago, Judge sent bounty hunters after him.
However, due to the crude drawing on Sanji's wanted poster, the hunters went after Duval instead, and the Straw Hats remember Duval telling them about how he had been targeted based on his resemblance to the drawing of Sanji. When Sanji's bounty was finally updated with a photograph of him, Judge pressed on with the search and had his bounty condition changed to "Only Alive"
Luffy asks where Sanji is, and Reiju states that he is either with Big Mom or their father; they had sailed out to meet him but seemed to have missed him. Reiju looks forward to meeting him later, but Luffy angrily states his intention of rescuing Sanji. As tension builds up, Yonji notices Pekoms and asks him what he is doing with the Straw Hats.
Annoyed, Pekoms states he will keep that to himself, and Reiju jumps from the Sunny and lands next to Yonji on their ship. Reiju and Yonji bid farewell, agreeing to not tell anyone about their meeting to ensure that Sanji's wedding happens. The two ships then sail away, and Reiju catches Yonji looking amorously at Nami's wanted poster while Nami chides Brook for expressing his infatuation with Reiju.
Naruto just narrowed his eyes at the retreating ship, missing a merman watching from below.
He is a tall, muscular merman. He has slanted thin eyes, dark hair that is tied in a long ponytail falling on his back in many curves, and a full beard with a goatee in the same color. His long tail is light brown in the upper part but gets darker near the fins, where spots start to appear, eventually becoming a plain dark color.
He's wearing a long, elaborately designed vest, and he drapes a light-colored captain's coat over his shoulders. He's carrying a trident on his back, held up by a belt that goes diagonally over his left shoulder. He has a tattoo that says "1TC" on his left bicep and the Sun Pirates' tattoo on the left side of his stomach.
He has small wrinkles around his eyes and mouth. A scar on his forehead and his beard is covering all of his chin and extending down to his chest. He has a thick hoop earring in each ear.
Aladine, A Goats-Beard Brotula Merman.
He then reported on what just happened to Jinbe.
Back on the Sunny, while Chopper checks on Luffy, Pekoms reveals that there are 34 islands surrounding Whole Cake Island, which are all ruled by a minister. These islands compose Big Mom's territory, which is called Totto Land.
Carrot then leaps up to the Crow's Nest, and she and Pedro see a Tarte approaching them. Pekoms has everyone else hide, assuring them he can smooth it out with security. The Sunny and the Tarte later dock on the shore of an island, and Pekoms speaks with several Chess Soldiers, claiming to have hijacked the Sunny from a pirate group and is currently sailing it to give to Big Mom, complete with a sweet treat.
The Sanji Retrieval Team watches from behind the Sunny's masthead, and Carrot tries to go onto the island, but Naruto holds her back until Pekoms finishes arrangements. However, they then realize that Luffy and Chopper are missing, having likely headed onto the island already.
A little while later, Nami and Carrot excitedly wear their new dresses, Nami's being a corset skirt and blouse, making her look like a "pretzel girl".
Carrot is wearing a simple, light-green short-skirt dress decorated with three vertical stripes running down the center and frills at the bottom, neck, and sleeves, and tied up at the front with an orange bow, as well as a pair of orange dress shoes.
Naruto looked to see that Nami beat Brook up for peeking under her skirt.
Pekoms then tells them that it takes a day to get to Whole Cake Island from their current location, so he tells them to get groceries before they depart. Carrot, notes that a large variety of races are gathered on the island, including minks.
Pekoms then explains Big Mom's dream: a utopia where every race can coexist peacefully. He reveals that there are 34 islands surrounding Whole Cake Island ruled by ministers, which are all collectively known as Totto Land. The town they are in is Chocolate Town on Cacao Island, which is ruled by Minister Chocolate and is made entirely out of chocolate.
Carrot asks if the chocolate can be eaten, and Pekoms affirms this but reveals that it is illegal to consume the roofs because they protect residents against the precipitation the island gets. Pekoms tells them to come back quickly and that he will stay on the ship but asks them to bring him back some chocolate
He then looks for Luffy so he can get into his disguise, but Carrot and Nami reveal he has already gone to explore the town, outraging Pekoms. Nami says to not worry, as they should find him easily, and her assertion is affirmed as a person cries out that someone has eaten at a cafe.
"There they are!" Naruto spoke putting on his jacket and jumped down.
They ran into the town and saw the food buildings before seeing a large Chopper and Luffy at an eaten building. Hearing a noise, Naruto looked up as he pulled a half mask on and saw a woman riding a flying carpet with a face on it. "Is that… A carpet?"
Rabian The Carpet
"Oh, you're the... owner!" A policeman said to the woman who got off.
She's a teenage girl with round, reddish brown eyes, and prominent lips. She is somewhat short, who is about one head shorter than Sanji. She has light brown hair styled with pigtails in the back and side-swept bangs in the front.
She's wearing a frilly light-purple top with a pink stripe down the middle and puffy, light-purple pants.
The Owner Of The Cafe, 'Caramel'.
On her shoulder was jelly with a face on it wearing a fedora.
Nitro The Jelly.
"How could you leave this much? This isn't what we agreed to! Gee!" She said to the duo, hands on her hips as she puffed her cheeks. "You have to finish it properly!"
"Hey, do you know her?" Luffy whispered to Chopper
"No, I don't. Who is it? And what's that thing on her shoulder?"
"I thought the combination of jam and biscuit sand chocolate here was delicious!" Pudding said as Rabian flew over the two pirates.
"Oh, flying carpet! Wait!" Luffy tried to catch him only to fall as Pudding walked over with pieces "Oh, no. I can't get up."
"Here! Try this! How is it?" She asked as they ate and fell on their backs.
"It's good!"
"Chocopolice-san, I'm sorry. The cafe will expire soon so I asked them to eat the whole building!" Cara
"Oh, pardon me! I didn't know they were a demolition crew! You should've had a sign-out when you were working. There were still some customers, too. Well then, if you'll excuse me."
"Yes, thank you! And I'm sorry to disturb you, everyone!" Pudding said to the others
"Congratulations on getting married, Pudding-sama! Your wedding day is approaching and you're checking in on your cafe? Don't work too much. We all wish for your happiness!" The policeman said to her.
"Thank you!"
"She saved Luffy and Chopper. She's so kind. I wonder who it is. They're so lucky!" Carrot pouted as she stood beside Naruto
"Captain Pedro?!"
Naruto turned to see a wolf mink walk up to Pedro after recognizing him. "You're Captain Pedro, aren't you?! I thought so! It's been a while! Why are you here?"
"I'm here for sightseeing. Don't tell anyone." Pedro replied stopping him.
"O-Okay. It's a pleasure to see you."
"You know people in this town, Pedro?" Nami asked as they walked into town.
"I'll tell you later."
"Pedro?"
Later, they're in a house with Luffy, and Chopper eating a wall behind a couch Naruto was sitting at before Carrot jumped on top of him having him see her black panties before quickly sliding down.
Luffy thanks Pudding for bailing them out. Pudding, however, is thankful to him for declaring her cafe to be delicious, revealing that it was made from a recipe she created from scratch. Brook cries at Pudding's generous nature as Luffy shares his love of chocolate with her, but Nami says that they cannot stay long.
Pudding understands, but asks if they want tea first to wash down the chocolate. As she makes the tea, Pudding asks the Sanji Retrieval Team what their names are, and Luffy tells her who he is despite Nami futilely attempting to cover his mouth, which makes her aghast.
Whole Cake Island.
Music played as a tall woman danced with furniture, plants, and trees that had faces on them.
She is a round, obese woman with a chin hidden by her torso. She has an enormous physique, standing just shy of 29 feet tall. She has moderately round, orange eyes, prominent eyelashes, and wears thick purple eye shadow. She has a very wide mouth with full lips sporting red lipstick, large, round teeth, and a long, thick tongue that is sticking out.
She also has long, curly, and wild pink hair that falls halfway down her back, as well as a long beak-like nose, and plump, round cheeks. She also sports a tattoo on her left shoulder and arm, consisting of a large, standard-shaped red heart framed by thin lines curled at their bottom ends, which all top a far smaller heart.
She's wearing a large pink bicorne hat bearing a Jolly Roger on the front. It has two crossed sabers instead of crossbones and possesses small lateral flame patterns, on its top, the hat is edged with a thick yellow streak, it has a strip snap-fastened to it, and beneath it is a light, polka-dotted bandanna fastened around her head.
She also dons a pink dress with red polka dots and white ruffles on its neckline and hemline, with a wide, rippling white cape attached to its back that falls to the ground. The outfit is completed with dark blue high heels, one turquoise pearl wristband on either wrist, and golden, jeweled rings on all her fingers.
Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom). Captain Of The Big Mom Pirates And A Member of the Yonkos.
How long do we have until the tea party?
Big Mom sang as two twin women picked up next.
Three days, mama.
Flower! Flower!
The flowers sang after the women next.
I see what about Germa's son?
Big Mom sang again.
He's here, Mama!
The women sang back.
Furniture! Furniture! Furniture! Furniture!
The furniture sang as well.
There will be a wedding!
More people sang as well.
How is the cake?
The wedding cake?
Two twin men walked over and sang with the twin women.
The wedding cake!
The design?
Big Mom asked holding her cape.
Okay!
The budget?
Don't be stingy!
Ingredients must be carefully selected.
Kill the people and rob them!
She and several people threw a fist in the air with a cloud and sun, both floating around Big Mom with faces as well.
Eggs! Flour! Fruit!
Let's eat a delicious cake!
Sweet dealing!
The tea party from hell!
Fireworks went off in the background.
Is it strawberry jam?
Or somebody's blood?
I don't care either way!
If you're invited, be there at any cost!
A sweet moment! Sacrifices to the devil.
This is a dreamland for everyone! All kinds of races come together!
Totto Land!
The music started to play softly as Big Mom sang softly.
Hmm, I can't wait! I heard he is here.
Yes, he is here.
Straw Hat!
Big Mom finished with a grin.
Cacao Island.
"Luffy is..."
Pudding trailed off before gasping. "Now that I look closer, you look familiar! Straw Hat Luffy!"
"That's right! I'm gonna be the King of the Pirates!"
"Get down!" Naruto pulled Luffy down to sit.
"Are you people really the Straw Hats, the pirates?!" Pudding asked them as Carrot ate.
"Yes, we are!"
"Sanji-san's comrades?! You're kidding!"
"I'm not kidding! Sanji is our buddy! What? Do you know Sanji?" Luffy asked her.
"Wait a minute. I can't stop thinking that I've heard the name Pudding somewhere before…" Nami mused as Chopper and Brook looked at her.
"Yes, me too."
"Uh-huh, you're right. Where was it?"
"Pudding-san, would you by any chance happen to be a member of the Charlotte Family?" Brook asked Pudding who nodded.
"I am."
"I-It's no mistake. You should know this, Luffy!"
"What?" Naruto and Luffy asked.
"Are you the Big Mom's daughter who's gonna get married to Sanji, Pudding?!"
"Mm-hm. You people aren't even Mama's allies! How did you pass the TARTE security? Why did you come?! Y-You're gonna be killed!" Pudding explained to the crew. "You're already in Mama's territory and she's a very scary pirate! But I know you people are scary pirates too! No!
"Wait! Calm down! We won't get rough with you!" Nami said before Pedro grabbed Pudding.
"Luffy, what should we do with her-gara?"
"Don't get rough, Pedro!"
"Let her go, Pedro," Luffy spoke before looking at Pudding as she was let go. "We came to take back Sanji."
"What?" She blinked at that. "So you came for Sanji-san… To take him back. I knew he didn't consent since Mama is so self-centered. She even uses her children's marriage to strengthen her pirate group. We're giving up on marrying someone freely out of love. We only have two choices; give up or run. One of my older sisters who I loved very dearly went out to the sea looking for love. To seek a match."
"Just out of curiosity, it said you're the 35th daughter of the Charlotte Family. Does Big Mom have daughters?" Brook asked her.
"Well, she has 39 daughters and 46 sons. We're all brothers and sisters."
"Wow! That's so many brothers and sisters!" Naruto crossed his arms at that
"We have different fathers. Mama has 43 husbands so we're a family of 129. Some of my older brothers and sisters already have children so if you count them in, there are more. The Big Mom Pirates consist mainly of her blood relatives." Pudding explained as Chopper looked over.
"Have you met Sanji?"
"Y-Y-Yes... just once. Although his eyebrows are twirly, he is very kind and gentlemanly! Even though he's got heart eyes, he knows so much about making sweets and taught me a lot! We like the same stuff and he's so manly! I heard his feet are black but he's tough and dependable!"
"That's not what "Black-Foot" means." Chopper sighed out at that.
"You really got him! He's a great guy!"
"D-Don't tell me you're in love with… Are you in love with Sanji-kun?!" Brook asked her as Pudding blushed.
"L-L-Love?! Well, I mean… Mama's decision can't be overturned. And if I marry someone, I prefer, um…"
"I like Sanji very much too! We're the same!"
"We should tie her up!" Pedro spoke up getting their attention. "She'll tell them that we're here. If they find us while we're on one of the outermost islands, we'll never be able to get to Sanji!"
"How could you say that, Pedro?"
"How else can we silence her?" Pedro asked Nami. "Don't forget she's Big Mom's daughter."
"Yeah, but she's scared of her mother too!"
"That's why she'll tell her!"
"I won't tell Mama about Straw Hat-san and the rest of you!" Pudding spoke up. "I'm Big Mom's daughter so I know it's hard to believe me but… I am scared of Mama but I've made up my mind! If you all come to take back Sanji-san, I'll help you!" Pudding finished.
"You sure?"
"Yes because Mama and I are two different people."
"Let me garchu one more time!" Carrot spoke before Pedro grabbed her having her cry anime tears.
Only to smile as Naruto patted her head and hugged him as Pedro let her go.
"How can you help us?"
"I think I can still let go of my feelings… Towards Sanji-san!" She finished before making a map for them.
"What's that?" Luffy asked as he ate.
"People in Totto Land… give their blessings to my marriage. So do the members of the Vinsmoke Family. Mama looks forward to the wedding cake. None of us can disobey Mama's order so I knew I couldn't marry for love, but I've been dreaming ever since I was a child. Wondering what my husband would be like. And then, Sanji-san came along. I was surprised because he was such a wonderful man. But he actually said to me in the end, 'I want to marry you but I can't do it. I want to go back to my friends.'"
"What?! Sanji rejected a girl?!" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow. "Did hell just freeze over?"
"But... it's good to know...I knew he wanted to continue the adventure! It wasn't just him who wanted to be back because you all actually came here to take him back at the risk of your lives. Even if this was Mama's decision, it'd be hard for me to stay with someone who didn't want to get married. And most of all, I know you all care about Sanji-san so much and I can't take him away from you. He said he wanted to go back to his friends too. Then all I can do for him is help him with that. Right?" Pudding asked them as she looked up. "Take this route. This is the only way you can get there without Mama's seeing, which only we children know of."
"Is that where Sanji is?"
"If you go along this route, you can get to the Whole Cake Island. But Mama won't let go of Sanji-san. So let's meet up at the southwest coast of the Whole Cake Island tomorrow. I'll bring Sanji-san there at any price. I'll cooperate with you!" Pudding spoke up as she finished drawing the route.
"Is it okay? Won't you get punished by Big Mom?" Nami asked as she took the map.
"I'm her biological daughter. Don't worry. You're in enemy territory. Worry about yourself. Sanji-san and you all care about each other. It's a bit of a shame but my next husband-to-be… Could be someone nicer!"
"Pudding-sama, we're here to pick you up." A voice spoke outside
"One moment! I'm working now so wait a second." Pudding replied before turning to the others and creating a hole on the other side. "Get out through here. And go in the direction of the cafe."
They then got out and walked back to the ship. And found Pekoms was gone with a message on the wall of the bathroom.
TURN BACK
Brock Collie Island New World.
Soldiers of Germa 66 enter a battle, where they easily overpower the weaker and less well-equipped soldiers on the other side. As the massacre continues, one survivor attempts to avenge his wife and children by shooting one of the Germa commanders. However, the commander has one of his soldiers take the bullet from him and confront the man as he forces his gun against his head.
He has red-colored hair and curly eyebrows. His eyebrows form a spiral that resembles the numeral 6. He is slim with long legs and his hair is fashioned into three prominent cowlicks on the right side, and also curls upwards slightly at the roots.
He's wearing a dark red raid suit, including white gauntlets, a red ascot, a white cape bearing a red "1" on its left, as well as a pair of sunglasses. He has a dark shirt with an upturned collar and a light cravat, as well as a pair of light-colored pants.
Vinsmoke Ichiji, 'Sparking Red'. A Commander Germa 66.
"I can't believe it took four hours," Ichiji said to the man. "I have to attend my brother's wedding. I have no interest in your family. Nor your war for that matter."
BANG!
He dropped the gun as he turned to his men. "It's finished. How could a war between suck weak countries for the last two years?
On the other side, another man was walking down the street holding a metal case.
He has blue-colored hair and curly eyebrows that form a spiral that resembles the numeral 6. He has a similar build to Ichiji, being slim with long legs and standing close to him in height. His hair is groomed into a very large, curved partition across the right side of his face, ending in three prominent spikes.
He's wearing a dark blue raid suit, including a black cape bearing a blue "2", dark goggles over his eyes, gold-colored gauntlets, and an aqua ascot around his neck. A set of horns extends upwards from his pair of orange and red earphones, and his belt bears a buckle with a prominent lightning bolt design.
Vinsmoke Niji, "Dengeki Blue". A Commander Of The Germa 66.
"The commission?"
"I got it!"
They continued to walk as the army that hired the family thanked them. They talked to their brother over the Den-Den Mushi about the wedding being just three days away while it would take two to get to Whole Cake Island.
Straw Hat Crew, Pedro, And Carrot.
"I'm worried about Pekoms. We gotta look for him!"
Luffy said as he and Pedro sat on top of the crow's nest. "Thank you but that won't be easy. He's a tough man so he'll be okay." Pedro replied as they came up to an island.
Down below, Brook looked down at Nami who was looking at the map. "I'm getting nervous. Because we are going deeper into the Emperor's territory."
"We should just trust this map and go on. At any rate, we need to get to the whole Cake Island without being seen by the enemy."
"Hey, where are we now?" Luffy asked dropping down.
"We haven't gone far from Cacao Island yet. It's still a long way to go to the Whole Cake Island."
Nami has them steer clear of the coast to avoid being detected, continuing on their secret route. They then come to a purple-colored part of the ocean, and Pedro reveals that juice from a nearby island flows into it. The team wonders how he knows so much about the area, recalling how someone on Cacao Island knew him and getting suspicious.
Pedro then states that he has been here before. Suddenly, the ship is rocked several times by a Giant Sea Centipede, which Pedro states will eat anything indiscriminately. The centipede surfaces and confronts the team, towering over them and the Thousand Sunny. Only for Naruto to behead him with Ryūjin. Another larger one appeared before Naruto went into his chakra mode and threw a black ball at it disintegrating it.
Naruto landed as Carrot puffed her cheeks. "We were supposed to fight together."
Naruto patted her as he looked around having her smile.
"Garchu-!" She yelled and kissed Naruto as he turned when she spoke.
She then jumped onto him and pushed Naruto to the grass and straddled him as she continued kissing him having her dress ride up and flashed her black panties. Nami walked up to see the flailing Naruto and sighed as she walked by. "We talked on that Naruto… Take it to the bedroom."
Naruto blinked at that before placing his hands on Carrot's waist and made out with her.
Later, they then sail past Biscuits Island and go into the multi-colored ocean. Pedro reveals to his excited teammates that they are in the Mixed Juice Current, a place where several juices flow in and mix. He warns that this place contains several dangers, and the team notices several giant pieces of fruit floating in the water.
Luffy gets hungry and pulls a giant watermelon to the Thousand Sunny, but Pedro reveals that that is a fruit football fish. The watermelon then opens its eyes and mouth as it devours Luffy, much to the team's shock. However, Luffy fights his way out of it, killing it and cutting its watermelon body up into giant slices. The team does the same to the peach and an orange football fish, and they feast on the massive amounts of fruit except for Nami, who is sickened at the sight.
"How is it any different from eating regular fish?" Naruto asked her as he walked up.
They continued to sail into the night, in a sea of mizuame, which had solidified around their ship and prevented it from moving. The team is forced to melt it extremely slowly with torches, not willing to wait for daybreak due to the possibility of a horde of giant ants that they had beaten earlier returning and eating their ship.
Pedro reveals that he once had a ship eaten by the ants, and the Straw Hats are curious about what he did here in the past. Carrot then reveals that Pedro used to be a pirate with Pekoms, and Pedro elaborates, explaining that the two of them sailed as explorers in search of Poneglyphs for the rulers of Zou.
However, they still received bounties on their heads, and Pedro only accompanied Pekoms halfway, as he met his defeat here five years ago. The Straw Hats are surprised that he will come back here, but Pedro reveals that he is determined to help them since Inuarashi and Nekomamushi had shown them the Road Poneglyph on Zou.
The only other foreigner they had shown it to was Gol D. Roger 26 years ago. The Straw Hats got to see the Road Poneglyph because they reminded the rulers of Roger, and so the minks believed they were on track to be Pirate King. Pedro points out that acquiring Big Mom's Road Poneglyph is a necessity to reach the island Laugh Tale, and offers to go in and get it while the others rescue Sanji.
Luffy offers their help, but Pedro encourages them to focus on their goal, and his determination delights the team. However, the ants regain consciousness and attack the team, and they struggle to overpower the giant insects and protect the Sunny.
The next day, the Sunny is sailing once again, and the team wakes up nursing their injuries from their battle with the ants. However, they get excited when they see Whole Cake Island directly in front of them.
The island is quite large and looks like a gathering of frosted cakes due to the enormous cake buildings constructed there. Atop the largest central building, the Whole Cake Chateau, there are massive poles shaped like candles, making it look like a birthday cake Most buildings appear to be covered in what looks like icing. The interiors of buildings, in general, look as if they are partly made of icing.
The island's southwestern coast is covered in a kind of hardened whipped cream. The island's east bay has a coral-like structure, resembling those on Fish-Man Island.
They sail toward the coast in front of them, which Pudding told them is the only unguarded landing point. As they approach the island, they suddenly see Sanji standing on the coast, much to their surprise.
He's wearing a white, frilled dress shirt as well as his usual black dress pants and shoes; he keeps the collar of the shirt upturned and the first few buttons are undone.
"Sanji!"
He then ran off into the forest having Luffy look confused as Naruto pulled the lever and had Brook and Pedro come out in the Shark Submerge III and sail towards the shore to get a copy of Big Mom's Poneglyph.
The others docked and explored the beach. They fail to see Sanji or Pudding anywhere, to their confusion, as Pudding had agreed to bring Sanji to this beach. Chopper discovers that the beach is really made of hardened whipped cream, to his teammates' delight, and they then suddenly see Sanji standing by some woods in the back. They call out to him, but he does not respond as he instead runs into the woods. Confused, the team races after him into the woods.
Nami is particularly confused, as she remembers Sanji promising to return during his capture on Zou. However, Luffy, Chopper, and Carrot quickly become mesmerized by the forest, which is composed mostly of candy. They decide to split up and look for Sanji, but Nami points out that they would get lost that way and they seem to be more interested in the candy lying in the paths they want to search.
The team tries to deny it but quickly gets distracted by the edible nature in their path, including a melon juice river and a doughnut bridge. Nami tries to snap them out of their distraction, but as they walk down the bridge, a giant blue crocodile with a magenta hat and suspenders leaps at them from underneath and takes a large bite out of the bridge they are standing on.
Luffy got ready to fight as the crocodile chewed on the food In his mouth and looked at them disinterestedly. "Oh, humans." He said before walking on his hind legs down the river.
After the Crew debated on what to do, with Nami wanting to stay near the ocean for Sanji and Pudding, they saw another Luffy with his scar on his right cheek and accessories switched like a mirror image. Luffy confronted his other self before Carrot saw Sanji on a tree eating a yellow lollipop before running off.
Everyone minus Luffy ran after Sanji as Luffy fought his doppelganger. They crashed Sanji through a field of lollipops before coming up to a very big man inside the ground from the neck up. His head alone is twice the height of Carrot and significantly wider. He has long, wavy light pink hair tied into a ponytail on top, a long and thin mustache, and a stubbly beard.
His face is shaped like a pear, and he has rather small eyes which contrast with his very large nose and mouth. He wearing a frilly light blue dress shirt.
Pound, Big Mom's 25th Ex-Husband.
"You scared me!" Pound yelled as the others stared up at him.
They ask who was the one to bury him, but Pound reveals that he buried himself. Chopper gets angry at his irrational behaviors, as Naruto picks him up and runs with Nami and Carrot to prevent Chopper from getting worked up over him. Pound reveals that he saw a man run past him earlier, and will tell the trio about him if they get him apple juice from a nearby waterfall.
Thinking it might have been Sanji, Nami agrees, but the trio is suddenly ambushed by a Mink rabbit on a large crane.
He is an average-sized humanoid rabbit, though his limbs are unusually long. He's wearing a frilly shirt, a dark cape, and a cavalier.
Randolph, A Member Of The Big Mom's Pirates.
Carrot stared at the other rabbit, fists crackling with Electro before they ran off having the rabbit smile. They then stopped in a clearing with melted clocks on the trees before Nami collapsed into Naruto. Nami states that they should return to Luffy. The matter of Sanji was still unresolved, but his unusual behavior when the team encountered him made it questionable whether he was actually real.
The group prepares to go back, but notices in shock that all Log Poses and clocks are going haywire. As they try running back to the path they came from, the objects in the Woods all come to life and sing as they block off the path to the shore, excitedly planning to trap and kill them.
Naruto threw his staff pieces hitting anything that tried to attack before the handle ricocheted back to him. Randolph charges at them again, and Carrot flips back, and the two clash., Electro sparking off his spear and crane.
"See! He's not a Mink! He can't use Electro!" Carrot states.
Nami tells Carrot to stop fighting so they can get back to Luffy, and Carrot knocks out Randolph's crane with Electro to keep him from pursuing them. However, Randolph leaps into the air and spins his spear at the trio, hurling it with great velocity. Naruto, arms infused with Haki, grabbed the spear and threw it at the rabbit.
They continued past Pound, the field of lollipops, and came up to Luffy before Naruto brought a knee up to his face, knocking Luffy away.
"Why'd you do that?!"
"That was that fake Luffy!" Naruto yelled before they skidded to a stop in front of Pound, confusing them as they ran by the man a few minutes ago and kept going in a straight line.
They turned and ran again, only to once again, end up in front of Pound. Confused, they turned to see the trees, flowers, other plants, and even patches of the ground moving to direct them in circles.
"This is the Seducing Woods!"
Turning to their left, they saw a woman walking up to them. She looks in many respects like the stereotypical witch. She is an extremely tall, slightly hunched, and gray-skinned woman with a well-endowed yet thin figure, making her limbs appear to be exceptionally long. She stands at roughly twice Nami's height, with her legs alone being noticeably longer than Nami's overall.
She also has very long, gnarled fingers with overlong, sharp nails painted blue. The woman's face has very striking, hag-like features. Her droopy eyes have yellow irises and long lashes and are topped by viridian eye shadow and black, high-arched eyebrows, which are furrowed. She has a huge and over-projected, reddish hook nose, a large mouth with purple lipstick, a square jaw, and a brown, sharp-cornered scar stretching diagonally down her face from right to left.
Her hair is lavender and divided into two side locks that cascade over her breasts, as well as four other, similarly long, and sharp, lock-like segments that stick to the sides, slightly curved upward. She's wearing a whitish, creased gown. Its main upper section has a frilly scoop neckline, loose, flaring sleeves that are tattered at the edges, and stops quite below the waist in a frilled hemline, adorned by a horizontal row of red roses above.
The lower, seemingly separate part of the dress, which begins under the upper one, falls to the ground and, too, has roses stitched onto itself in an aforementioned manner. Her clothing is completed by a feathered, sleeveless overcoat in moss green color.
Charlotte Brûlée 8th Daughter And 19th Child Of The Charlotte Family.
"No matter how many times you run, you'll never find your way out!" She said before bringing her hands up as Nami hid behind Naruto. "Such pretty faces… It makes me want to scratch them up!"
Brook And Pedro.
Brook and Pedro sail through a river to Sweet City. They docked just outside and hit the Shark Submerge as Brook covered his face and put on sunglasses so as not to be recognized. Once they reach the capital, they dock in a hidden spot and head for the Whole Cake Chateau on foot. As they walk, they remark on the liveliness and diversity of the city, and a courier suddenly shouts that there is breaking news.
"Wonder what he's talking about?" Pedro asked as he went ahead to see what it was. "Nani? (What?)" He is surprised as he looks at the front page of the paper to see a picture of Jinbe front and center on it.
They picked the newspaper as they and the citizens read the news of Jinbe withdrawing his request to leave the Big Mom Pirates. Pedro is surprised that a former Shichibukai (Seven Warlords) is one of Big Mom's subordinates, and Brook notes that Jinbe's allegiance to Big Mom is why she protects Fish-Man Island. He explains to Pedro that Jinbe is important to their crew, recalling their time on Fish-Man Island and how Jinbe agreed to join them after he took care of some business.
Brook is surprised that Jinbe would do something like what was mentioned in the newspaper article. Pedro calls Brook to join him around the corner of the building, and they look in the window to see Pudding trying on wedding dresses. She tries to leave because she has other arrangements, but her attendants and Tamago keep her in as they show her possible dresses.
Whole Cake Chateau.
Caesar Clown stands in the throne room before Big Mom herself, and she inquires about the state of the experiments she commissioned him to do. A terrified Caesar claims that he vigilantly worked on his research, and Big Mom reveals that she has had him look for a method to achieve Gigantification so that all races of the world can be the same size as her and they can sit at a table together as a family.
Caesar remembered what happened on Punk Hazard and that he'd blown Big Mom's money on a life of hedonism, purchasing Girls' Ships to come to the island every night. He looks up to Big Mom and lies that his research was disrupted after Luffy and Law destroyed his laboratory, saying he could only achieve the results he needed there.
However, Big Mom reveals that she had her Minister of Candy construct a replica of his lab on Whole Cake Island, and asks Caesar how long before he can achieve results.
"A week? Maybe two?"
Caesar was then brought outside where the Minister of Candy was waiting for him.
He is a very tall and slim man with brown eyes, a pointed nose, pink lips, and a very long thick tongue. He is smiling wearing a long, yellow coat with a tall lighter colored collar and the top buttons resembling large, purple, and pink striped pieces of wrapped candy. The bottom of his coat has a checkered design and large beads along the hem.
There is a dark-colored beaded bracelet on each wrist and his long sharp fingernails are painted dark. His large, orange, and red-striped hat has several rainbow-colored lollipops along its rim and a large, pale pink plume. Something large and navy blue with baby blue polka dots comes out from under his hat and curves upward on either side. His shoes have a long tip spiraling inward.
He's carrying a large magenta and pink candy cane with a curved top which he is licking
Charlotte Perospero, Eldest Child Of The Charlotte Family An Officer Of The Big Mom Pirates.
He then took Caesar to a replica of his lab and looked at the scientist. "Lick! Lick! Do you like that, Caesar-Kun? It seems to be quite authentic, doesn't it? The inside is exactly like the way it was too. Lick!" Perospero said before pulling up Caesar's heart still in the block Law put it in and squeezed it, causing Caesar pain.
Night, Straw Hat Crew.
Naruto cracked his neck after he quickly knocked Brûlée out before turning to see he was alone. Sighing, he walked towards the annoyed feeling he felt when he had his cloak on before seeing an angry Nami standing over Luffy before Carrot pounced on him and kissed his cheek as he smiled and squeezed her ass.
"What do you know?!" Nami asked Pound as she pointed at him.
Pound sighed before asking Nami if she was strong, noting that, unlike Luffy and Naruto, she did not look like it. He explains that Chopper was strong, but was ultimately subdued by the anthropomorphic flora and fauna who would not be stopped.
Nami states that she got them to stop attacking her, as did Luffy after he beat up enough of them. Luffy then asks how everything is alive in the first place, and Pound reveals that the citizens of Totto Land give up their lifespans in exchange for living safely in Big Mom's territory. They give away a month of their lifespans every six months as a result of Big Mom's Soru Soru no Mi, (Soul-Soul Fruit,) which enables her to manipulate souls.
She sends her Incarnations, which are black blob creatures, to collect the soul fragments, and these are released into the wild. When they enter an inanimate object or even an animal like Randolph, the object gains sentience and becomes a homie.
Luffy asks if the animal duplicates of his allies are also homies, and Pound states that it is Brûlée's power to turn animals into reflections of people. Luffy gets mad at the man for not telling him after watching the whole time, and Pound replies he did not want to get involved in anything before Luffy attacked by pulling on his eyelids.
"Ouch! I'll tell you!"
He eventually relents as Luffy pulls on his eyelids, revealing that he was once one of Big Mom's husbands having them stare in shock. He continues that she cast him away after he sired two daughters with her. Now, the homies in the woods do not avoid him but simply do not care about him.
Suddenly, a tall man emerges behind Pound, to the Straw Hats' shock.
He's a large, brutish-looking warrior standing about four times bigger than Luffy with a prominent nose, a large pointed beard, disproportionately thin limbs, and a prominent scar on the right side of his face. He's wearing a vest made of crackers, a Spartan-style warrior's helmet, with horns on the side of his head, a belt with a circular belt buckle with 'BIS' on it and he's holding a broad sword over his right shoulder.
Charlotte Cracker, the 10th Son of the Charlotte Family, One of the Three Sweet Commanders, and the Minister of Biscuit. Bounty: $860,000,000.
Cracker grabs the man by the ponytail as he pulls him out of the ground. Pound eventually fully surfaces, shocking Luffy and Nami as it is revealed that his body is the same size as his head. Cracker confronts Pound about him spilling information, and Pound begs him to at least let him see his daughter, Chiffon one last time, as he hears she has gotten married.
He pleads for Cracker to let him see Linlin and notes that although his other daughter Lola ran away, he treasures both of his daughters dearly.
Nami is shocked to hear Lola's name and remembers Pudding telling them in her cafe about one of her sisters running away. She then remembers meeting Lola on Thriller Bark first as a zombie who had her shadow and then met the real Lola on the Thousand Sunny after successfully retrieving all the stolen shadows including Lola's.
She then remembered Lola giving her a Vivre Card leading to her mother, as she had come from the New World and her mother was a very powerful pirate there.
Suddenly, Randolph comes swooping in from the sky on his crane, attempting to ambush Luffy and Nami. However, Cracker shouts at him to stop, knocking him and his crane away. Cracker's shout causes him to emit an aura of power once again, which causes all the homies around him to wither away in fright. Naruto and Luffy kept their eyes on Cracker as Nami looked around and wondered if that was what Haki Cracker just used.
"I don't think so, the animals and he would be knocked out," Naruto said looking at Pound as he and the animals that looked like Nami and the others were still awake.
Randolph and his crane got up as Cracker turned to them and had his aura come back. "How could you get in my way like that? When did you become so important? Randolph"
"It was his fault," Randolph said pointing to the crane who turned to him.
"Don't lie! It was yours!" The crane shot back before both apologized as Cracker's aura didn't let up.
"Is he someone in a high position?" Nami asked as she turned to Cracker.
"He very strong at least," Naruto replied not taking his eyes off the Commander.
Cracker explained Big Mom had thought ahead in case Brûlée couldn't defeat them and sent him to take care of the group. "I can't just let you say that Big Bro!"
Brûlée then rode in on an extremely large tree homie with a wide light gray trunk and a large amount of blueish gray foliage. He has small eyes, a very long and pointy nose, a very long handlebar mustache, a mouth full of sharp teeth, a large tongue, and two rather small arms that cannot even reach across his body.
Kingbaum, Master of the Seducing Woods.
"Holy shit!"
"Whoa! A tree monster!"
"We, the Seducing Woods Team have never let even a single target walk away alive-ju!" Kingbaum said as Cracker stared at them.
Cracker explains to his sister that Big Mom needed the Straw Hats to be dealt with quickly and decisively because tomorrow at noon the Vinsmoke Family will be fully gathered on Whole Cake Island. Cracker then prepares to execute his stepfather as Pound begs him to let him see Linlin, but Cracker explains that Big Mom approved of him executing her former husband.
Pound is shocked, that he would kill family. Cracker replies that Big Mom does not consider her 43 ex-husbands to be her real family, nor do any of her children. Cracker swings his sword at Pound before Naruto blocks the sword strike with Ryūjin, and immediately flips over and slices his arm off. "I know you're just food," Naruto said going into his chakra cloak.
He then tore through the biscuit suit before hearing laughter.
Sweet City.
"There it is."
The full moon shined down on the city as Brook and Pedro got the Whole Cake Chateau in their sights. They started to walk, only to hide in an alley as they saw homies with bodies very similar to Cracker's patrolling down the city. They hide from the sentries and are horrified when one of them looks into their alley, but it does not see them as it instead picks up a piece of candy left on the ground.
"Pedro-san, how are we going to get past such tight security?" Brook asked the Mink and Pedro turned to him. "Don't worry. I have an idea." They looked to the back of the sentry before he continued. "Let's use that one."
Naruto Vs Cracker.
Suddenly, a man came out of Cracker, smiling.
He is a very tall and muscular man, standing slightly taller than Doflamingo. He has light and mostly short purple hair, with a long, baguette-like bun tied at the back of his head and a pair of thin, pointed strands on either side that appear to spark like firecrackers. A very large scar covers his right eye and he has small wrinkles around both eyes.
He is shirtless and is wearing a kilt with decorative biscuits adorning it as well as shin-length brown boots on his lower half. On his right shoulder, he has a large brightly colored pauldron that has a pink polka dot cape attached to it.
"You did a good job… Breaking my armor!"
"I take it you're the real Cracker?" Naruto asked as Cracker grinned and jumped out into a crouch in front of his armor.
"That was my favorite armor. I ate the Bis-Bis No Mi (Biscuit-Biscuit Fruit) and became a biscuit human." Cracker explained as he stood up straight. "I can generate biscuits!" He said clapping his hands and having large biscuits pear in front of him. "To shape them into anything!" Clapping again, the biscuits he created disintegrated and turned into two sets of the armor he used.
He then explained he used the armor for fighting and that the armor is what people look for when looking for him as he pulled his wanted poster that had a picture of the armor instead of him. Four sets of the armor came up before black balls disintegrated them as Naruto in his chakra mode punched him. Suddenly multiple ones shot past Cracker punching him before the final one grabbed him and flew up.
Naruto then dropped as another flew forward with a kick sending a large shockwave off as Cracker shot towards the city Naruto then flipped him off and dropped down.
Nami.
Meanwhile, the homies in the Seducing Woods continue running away from Naruto and Cracker's battle, being too afraid of the powerful clash to get close to it.
"I think we're clear?"
"Hey, that girl is gone!"
"No… I'm here," Nami said from Kingbaum's mouth with Chopper and Carrot, keeping him at bay with Big Mom's Vivre Card. "I told you to attack Cracker!" Nami orders the homies, and they are appalled at her outrageous command. "I don't care if all of you whither away!"
"You're a horrible person." Pound said to her only for Nami to shrug it off.
Whole Cake Chateau.
Big Mom is sitting on a throne and expresses her impatience that she has to wait another day to eat wedding cake at the tea party, though everything still seems to be going as planned with their efforts to eliminate the Straw Hat Pirates. She explains to the homies in the room that she plans to meet with the Vinsmoke Family for lunch later that day and knows that the chances of Sanji being rescued will be close to none once he enters the Whole Cake Chateau.
Just then, she receives a report that the two eldest Vinsmoke sons have arrived.
The Germa Kingdom.
In the Germa Kingdom, Ichiji and Niji arrive to a hero's welcome as the Germa 66 soldiers cheer them on.
"Why isn't he coming out to greet us?" Niji asked, annoyed that Sanji had not come out to greet them.
"Stop, Niji."
Sanji watches them from a balcony and is shaking at the sight of them. The two brothers go inside the throne room, where their father sits.
He is a large man with long golden hair which reaches his waist. He has a long and thin black mustache that spikes upwards, a thin and small beard, and a prominent cleft chin. He is wearing a golden warrior's helmet. He's wearing a Raid Suit, which is composed of a gray robe with the number '66' on the bottom front, a large orange cape, a belt with the number '66' on the buckle, dark gloves, and boots.
"Thank you for your work, Ichiji, Niji." He commends them on their actions as Sanji and Reiju then come to the throne room. Reiju wearing just a frilly dress shirt and what looked like a pink tie.
Niji approaches Sanji, expressing surprise that he is alive before congratulating him on his marriage, and asks to speak as he takes notice of gold handcuffs on his younger brother's wrists He laughs recognizing them as explosive handcuffs before they all sit down at the table.
Soon afterward, all five Vinsmoke children are eating all wearing dress shirts and pants while Judge still sits on his throne, and they talk about the battle on Broc Coli Island that Ichiji and Niji ended. Judge points out that Germa was hired after Doflamingo's weapons trade to the island had ended, and Reiju remarks that it was actually merciful for them to trounce one side and end the war early.
However, Ichiji and Niji do not care about such ideals, only the money that comes from their services, and Yonji suggests being hired by both sides of the war to maximize their profits. However, Judge declines the idea on account they would be more like pirates stating the Germa Kingdom is still a member nation of the World Government, although he expects to have their rights to go to Levely revoked once they ally with the Big Mom Pirates.
As Judge looks forward to the power he will get from this alliance, Niji makes fun of Sanji for his role in achieving Judge's dream and remarks on how he finally proved himself useful to the family. Niji calls out to Sanji who has just finished eating his food as the family converses.
Yonji walks Sanji down to the lowest levels and opens a large door to a room. The two enter the room, and Sanji gapes in shock as he sees identical Germa, 66 soldiers, in giant test tubes. Yonji reveals that this is where Germa's soldiers come from; they are the results of experiments performed by their father Judge and Dr. Vegapunk before they were born.
The two scientists had unlocked the human Lineage Factor and used it to pioneer cloning research, but this activity was forbidden by the World Government, causing them to arrest Vegapunk and forcing Judge to continue performing the research in secret. Now, it has borne them an army of strong clones who do not know their origins, never go against their masters, and will reach adulthood within five years.
Sanji is utterly appalled by this inhumanity and struggles to light a cigarette to calm himself down.
Later, Sanji lies on the ground as Niji, Ichiji, and Yonji stand over him, mocking Sanji's dedication to the female cook he defended earlier, and Ichiji reminds Sanji that he is still in the family's hierarchy as their failure. Sanji starts to remember his past in the Germa Kingdom, where he and his siblings stood before Judge.
Judge told them that they had been endowed with superhuman abilities that would make them into powerful, emotionless military commanders, and said that they needed to train to awaken them. The siblings began to train, and as a test, they jumped off a high balcony. Reiju, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji landed on their feet easily, but Sanji was caught in his fear of the large fall and failed to jump.
This trend continued, as Sanji would continuously fall behind his siblings in every physical test, even almost drowning once during a swim across the ocean. He and Niji once sparred with wooden swords, and to Sanji's surprise, his sword broke when he tried to strike Niji with it. Niji then responded by viciously beating Sanji with the sword, going for so long that the Germa 66 soldiers had to remove him from Sanji.
Sanji's siblings started preying on his weakness and bullied him regularly, with Reiju seeming reluctant but still joining in. Judge was not pleased with Sanji's weakness and was bewildered to hear a report from one of his aides that Sanji appeared to be a normal human with no superhuman modifications whatsoever.
Accepting that Sanji was a failed experiment, Judge held a funeral for his son, claiming that he had died in an accident. Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji did not care about the news of their brother's death. In reality, Sanji was taken to a dungeon, where he was left with an iron mask on his head.
Shocked and confused, he begged the soldiers to let him speak to Judge, but they revealed that Judge ordered this, as he wished to pretend that Sanji no longer existed.
Finally, he remembered visiting his sickly mother with food he would cook before she died due to the treatments Judge did to her while she was pregnant. Reiju actually treated his wounds when his brothers beat him in the cell before helping him escape when a ship sailed past the kingdom. He was brought back to the present when his brother kicked him leaving his face bruised and swollen.
They left as Reiju scared the nearby medics and walked to her brother. "My, my, are you going to your fiancée with that face? If you had given up on the owner of that restaurant you were working at, you could've avoided this." She said revealing they know about Zeff. "Why did you come back? I thought this was the place that you didn't even want to remember… Sanji."
Reiju then takes Sanji to a room, where she places a gelatinous mask on his face. The mask crackles with electricity, giving Sanji a nasty shock having his face stops swelling. Reiju sighed before remarking that she fails to understand why Sanji came back here just for Zeff, though assures him that at least he will have the comfort of married life with Pudding.
She then asks why he is so chivalrous, and Sanji explains that back when he was a child on the Baratie, he and his coworkers begged Zeff to hire a female cook. Zeff refused, saying that he used kicks to discipline people, which he could not do to a woman. Sanji failed to understand why he could not kick a woman, causing Zeff to kick him on the head multiple times.
Zeff explained to Sanji that kicking a woman was unbecoming of a man, and he would chop his own head off if Sanji did it because it meant he would have failed as a parent surprising Sanji.
Whole Cake Chateau.
"Mama! Smoothie-sama has arrived!"
Big Mom was eating when she got a report that all her Three Sweet Commanders were in one place, and wonders about the status of Cracker's confrontation with Naruto and Luffy. Outside, Cracker crashes into the Whole Cake Chateau and his unconscious body falls to the ground, which draws the attention of Big Mom as well as everyone outside. Three of his siblings stand by him in shock.
The first is a lanky man with long limbs, a stocky abdomen, and blond hair that flares outwards. He has a rounded chin that sticks out, a long pointed nose, and a predominant slouch. He's wearing an open-chested, dark-colored jumpsuit with a skeleton pattern following the limbs and ribs. He also has a dark-colored top hat with a light pink colored ribbon, as well as dark lipstick and eye makeup in the shape of a single line going down each eyelid.
Charlotte Mont-d'Or, 19th Son Of Big Mom. The Minister of Cheese.
The next man is an enormous man with an extremely thick body. His head and arms are covered in a semi-liquid substance, which composes a very large beard. He's wearing a bow tie on his beard, as well as a cape with a high collar. He also has dotted wristlets and a dotted belt which has the same substance dripping from it. His legs are extremely small in comparison to the rest of his body.
Charlotte Opera, The 5th Son Of Big Mom.
The final sibling is a woman of average size, with pale skin and shoulder-length fuchsia hair, which curls at the ends. She has yellow eyes and notably thick eyelashes. She's wearing a red-violet dress, a dark purple feather coat, magenta gloves, and two horns on the top of her head.
Charlotte Galette The 18th Daughter Of Big Mom.
"He went to the woods last night to take care of Elemental Sage Naruto and Straw-Hat Luffy," Galette said as they all turned to the woods.
"Damn it! He knew Naruto had a 2 billion berry bounty!" Mont-d'Or cursed as they raised a state of alarm over Sweet City, causing the citizens to panic and evacuate.
To Be Continued.
A/N: Thanks for reading and let me know of any mistakes.
Beta: ANUBIS the god king.
Sorry for the rushed Carrot joining, she's just not in the story long I guess would be the right word, yes she came up in Zou and left in Wano (The longest arc so far) but a lot of these arcs are fighting so I couldn't think of a better spot... The same might be for Yamato too... Plus I'm trying not to use canon parts as we're catching up to the anime and people remember the canon stuff now as it's newer as opposed to the start that's 25 years old.
And of course, when getting to the anime being only 100 episodes ahead, this'll be on a once-a-month/every-other-month update just saying now in case I forget later.
Next to be updated will be Ninja In The Web then a mass update on December 24th.
Nothing else to say.
Talk To You Later,
Lone Wolf Out.🐺
