Capítulo 109: News of the Tea Party
Charlotte Linlin's Tea Party has been held several times already and was no secret in the underworld. Due to her children being still young, the reasons for hosting Tea Party were often for her own wedding or her children's one-month celebration, among others.
The frequency and purpose of the Tea Party were random, sometimes only held to satisfy her personal interests.
Hosting tea parties and collecting various rare and exotic creatures were her hobbies, and her dream was also quite beautiful as she wants to establish a nation where all races and things could live together without distinction, but her methods were quite different.
The principle of Totto Land was to accept all who came but not allow anyone to leave, and anyone who wanted to leave Totto Land would have to pay with their life.
As for her tea party, the invitations were not to be refused. Anyone who received an invitation but did not attend would receive a gift from her, containing the severed head of someone close to them.
Charlotte Linlin has a very close connection with the underworld, and her intelligence network can be said to be ahead of other pirates. Stussy and others have also dealt with her before, so they are no strangers to her tea parties.
They even regarded the tea party as a gathering. Big Mom's territory was quite safe, at least as long as Charlotte Linlin had no thoughts towards them and they did not provoke her, and her eating disorder does not get triggered.
However, Kaido's name appeared on the guest list this time.
As a CP0 secret agent, Stussy naturally reported this to her superiors, and her orders were to investigate the reason for Kaido's contact with Charlotte Linlin.
The headquarters of the Organ Dealing Assassination Group has just been destroyed, and at this time, Charlotte Linlin unexpectedly came into contact with Kaido. Although neither of them were considered Emperor of the Sea at this time, and it is unlike their encounter decades later, which held greater significance.
Although not top-tier pirates, they were still among the elite of the second tier, and most importantly, they were both remnants of the Rocks Pirates.
After the disbandment of the Rocks Pirates, these remnants of the crew hardly ever formed alliances. The tea party with John, Silver Axe, Ochoku, and Charlotte Linlin discussing their schemes and machinations was entirely different in nature.
What are they planning to do? Could it lead to even greater trouble? The World Government may not necessarily take action, but they can't remain ignorant of everything.
So, this became Stussy's current mission as the underworld meeting came to an end. These things would be cleared at the tea party.
As long as Charlotte Linlin and Kaido were not crazy, they would not attempt to take them all down. Otherwise, the underworld in the New World would enter a state of complete chaos, which would take more than a decade to stabilize, and no one would benefit from that.
Filling the vacancy created by the Organ Dealing Assassination Group can be done quickly, but if all positions become empty, then there will be big trouble.
Then they all began to prepare their respective gifts for the tea party. They cannot attend it empty-handed.
Meanwhile, members of the Big Mom Pirates were going to the affiliated islands to collect tributes in preparation for the tea party.
Meanwhile, on the main island of the Beasts Pirates, the missing Kaido returned and revealed this information, explaining that it was what he had been doing during his disappearance.
To continue utilizing Charlotte Linlin's intelligence network, the next step is to develop their relationship even further. Queen's bananas have entered mass production, and the first generation fruits of other varieties have also been partially cultivated. This presents an opportunity to discuss further collaboration with Charlotte Linlin.
Furthermore, Beasts Pirates also need to open up new markets. After the incident with the Organ Dealing Assassination Group, the underworld seems to have developed a sense of fear towards the Beasts Pirates.
This is not conducive to future development, so Kaido plans to use Charlotte Linlin's tea party to make things clear with the people from the underworld.
On the training ground, a group of individuals were undergoing their own training. They were either officers or children - the core members of the present and future Beasts Pirates. Meanwhile, Kaido and Arceus were discussing something off to the side.
"Big Mom's tea party?"
"Yes, we need to use that woman's tea party to solve some problems, and there's also the issue of exporting those fruits- the production is too high for us to consume internally. It just happens that we can exchange them for even more funds while also borrowing her intelligence network."
Even though the second generation bananas bred from Tropius bananas have a longer shelf life than ordinary bananas, they are still bananas and cannot be stored for too long. In addition, Queen's banana production is high, and the number of fresh bananas and dried banana chips produced has already exceeded the internal demand of the Beasts Pirates.
If they don't sell them, they will all have to be turned into dried banana chips. However, dried banana chips also have a shelf life, and to avoid waste, expanding their sales channels is necessary.
Big Mom's tea party is different from a traditional banquet. There is no roasted meat or strong liquor. Meat products are honey-flavored, and most of the drinks are black tea and desserts. Frankly speaking, Kaido doesn't like these kinds of parties, but for the sake of future development, he needs to attend.
"How about you? Are you interested in the tea party?"
"I'm not interested. Someone just brought back some new information, and I want to check it out."
"It may not be a bad idea either! Anyways, it's not worth the trouble if we end up falling out with her." Charlotte Linlin has a strange obsession with rare and exotic creatures, and Arceus's unique characteristics could easily pique her interest.
Although she can't snatch people from Kaido, there's still a chance for new conflicts to arise through words.
"This time, let King and Shayna follow you, and Queen and I will go together. It's a perfect opportunity for him to boast about his fruits. Oh, and you little brats, do any of you want to come along?"
Kaido asked the people below him. At times, Charlotte Linlin can be kind to children and display a maternal side in certain situations.
But no one could answer him as they were all nervously avoiding Arceus' attacks.
Arceus' special training includes dodging Spike Cannon, and Shayna and the few officers have their eyes covered, in order to train their Observation Haki. The power is under control, so it won't kill them, but it still hurts quite a bit.
Only when it hurts will they remember it deeply. Right now, taking a beating won't kill them, but that might not be the case on the battlefield.
He and Kaido have a clear division of tasks, with Kaido in charge of Armament Haki as he has a better understanding of its power, while Arceus is better at controlling the frequency of attacks, so he is in charge of Observation Haki.
Timing it perfectly, Arceus stopped his Spike Cannon, and Setsuna and Olga were the first to fall to the ground.
They weren't even asked to cover their eyes, but even if they could see, this frequency of attacks took a huge toll on their physical stamina, which even Minks and Zoan users can't endure.
"Huff huff, tea party. What's that?"
