บท 50: Meeting a Yonko
_________ POV Enel _________
Heading for the Whole Cake Chateau in silence isn't exactly what I expected.
Katakuri seems extremely wary around me, but he's not outright hostile thanks to Oven vouching for me.
At the very least, I will be able to speak to Big Mom for a bit. But knowing her, she won't listen to me all that much.
I need to be careful with my words, but I also don't feel like bowing my head to an overgrown child prone to throwing temper tantrums and even harming her own family...
Overall, I'm not exactly worried about Big Mom, but I also don't want to make an enemy out of her so early on. If we end up fighting in the future then it can't be helped, but now there's no reason for us to come to blows.
In the first place, I joined the marines to learn the 6 powers and haki, even if I made friends there, I won't be making enemies out of a Yonko for the sake of the World Government.
I guess I'll see how things go. There are also Linlin's other children, many of which at least somewhat care about Oven...
Well, not all of them care about him. If I remember correctly, some siblings aren't quite as cruel as the others, there are certain clashes between them. Still, most of them do care about their siblings.
I don't know about someone like Perospero, for example, I don't think he would give much of a shit for Oven's injuries. He is more likely to care about the navy disrespecting Big Mom herself by capturing Oven.
I remember him being an extremely sadistic individual, but hey, he did have good relationships with his siblings, so his reaction could still surprise me...
The Big Mom pirates are an extremely cruel and sadistic bunch, I need to tread lightly if I want to not cause a war. Worst case scenario, I stop the war from happening by crippling one side.
If I destroy the island we are on too much, they will be stuck here rebuilding and won't have time for the marines, at least until the Summit War is over we would be fine.
Still, there are a lot of people that I don't know how will react to this, the fact that Sengoku didn't tell anyone of Oven's state is also a bit concerning...
That would've at least prepared them a bit for seeing their sibling in such a state, even if it wouldn't change the final outcome all that much.
I remember him saying that the World Government doesn't want a war, did he expect me to placate the Big Mom Pirates and not just escape immediately?
That's highly unlikely. Sengoku doesn't know that I am as strong as a Yonko, so if he sent me to placate Big Mom, he'd think he's sending me to my death...
Wait a second... The timing might just be really shitty for him.
The Summit War is already in motion, so he's most likely planning it out already, contacting pirates to sway them to betray Whitebeard and all that.
He should have his hands completely full with both planning out the war and cleaning up after the Dressrosa incident, so it's possible that he simply forgot about Big Mom.
Both Akainu and Garp are likely preparing for the war, they won't have the time to remind Sengoku of this... Was I really forgotten like that?
Maybe they just figured that I'm strong enough since I took down Doflamingo with ease. The recording should've reached Marineford before the World Government got to erase all evidence of Dressrosa being the fault of a former Clesetial Dragon...
Whatever, I'll just deal with this and be done with it.
_________ POV Narration _________
The three of them reached the Chateau rather quickly, no one approached them. They had run into a few of Oven's siblings, but they didn't approach, as Katakuri was also there, escorting what they assumed was a prisoner.
Still, Enel had seen quite a few siblings look at Oven with worry in their eyes, signifying that the Big Mom Pirates might've been a bit closer to one another than Enel had initially expected.
Enel could feel that all of the higher-ranking members of the Big Mom Pirates were waiting inside what he assumed to be the 'throne room'.
So, the three of them walked silently towards it.
Upon entering, Enel was finally able to see her in person...
Big Mom, a round, obese old woman. She had an enormous physique, standing at 8.8 metres or just shy of 29 feet tall. Round, orange eyes, with prominent eyelashes, and wore thick purple eyeshadow.
She had a very wide mouth with full lips sporting red lipstick. She also had long, curly, and wild pink hair that fell halfway down her back, as well as a long beak-like nose.
Big Mom wore a large pink bicorne hat bearing a Jolly Roger on the front. She also wore a pink dress with red polka dots and white ruffles, with a wide white cape attached to its back that fell to the ground.
Enel studied her for a bit, she didn't really look that intimidating, and she surprisingly seemed to be in a good mood.
The Rear Admiral tilted his head a bit as he saw both Katakuri and Oven bow and greet their mother. He didn't bother with that, only looking around the room a bit.
As Enel had expected, most of the siblings didn't seem to be excited to see him there. And those that were, Enel could surmise that they were for the wrong reasons...
"I'm glad to see you again, Oven!" Big Mom said as she swayed from side to side on her throne. She didn't seem outright interested in his appearance.
Enel wasn't exactly shocked by her uninterested tone and gaze, she was known to not be quite caring to her children.
To her, they were just tools, after all. Still, having one of her tools damaged should've made her a bit irritated, Enel assumed he was going to see how irritated she was soon.
"Now... I wasn't expecting a marine to come all the way here... Let alone a Rear Admiral." Big Mom said as she licked her lips with a hungry look.
Enel didn't react much to her words visibly. He wondered how Big Mom would've reacted if someone like Garp dropped by. A mere 'Vice Admiral' like him, maybe would've gotten the same treatment.
"Don't judge me by my ranking... It was my mission to assure Oven's safe return and to prevent a conflict with your Big Mom Pirates, I am merely carrying it out." Enel said as he leaned on his staff a bit.
The entire room was looking at him with open hatred, Katakuri and Oven being exceptions... Surprisingly, Big Mom was also one of these exceptions.
"Good! Good! At least the marines know their place! Mamamamamama~" Linlin had started laughing in her own annoying way, Enel didn't bother defending the marines, as he didn't really care.
The rest of her children also joined her in laughing a bit. Enel thought it wouldn't last long...
But as she continued laughing for a minute or two, Enel was getting a bit irritated.
"Can all of you just shut the fuck up already?!" Enel shouted, exasperation present in his tone as he now understood just how annoying the Big Mom Pirates could be.
He had remembered them being a frustrating bunch from the show. But he hoped he'd be able to hold it in... Turns out he may have overestimated his resistance to bullshit.
The room turned deadly silent, as every gaze turned back to Enel in an instant. This time, even Big Mom looked pissed off.
Oven trembled a bit, and Katakuri just raised an eyebrow.
'I understand your grievances... But did you really have to do that?!' Katakuri thought to himself as he scratched the back of his head.
"A rather bold marine dog... Coming here and barking in my castle!" Big Mom said as she rose from her seat, anger obvious in her features.
"I was going to just take two of your limbs... But now I'll also take your lifespan, maybe you'll be a bit less arrogant if you only had a few years left in you!" Big Mom said as a sadistic smile rose to her face.
Most of her children also seemed to mirror her smile, while Enel just shrugged.
Oven gulped a bit as he clenched his fist, the worst possible scenario was happening right before his eyes...
Katakuri's gaze turned serious, as he thought of ways that he could bail Enel out of the situation...
But he knew that arguing with his mother was useless, if anything he and his brother would also come to harm.
'I will respect my brother's wishes, I won't fight Enel... But I can't protect him either...' Katakuri simply started walking to the side and leaned on a pillar.
He was going to stay neutral, but if any of his dear siblings were to be in mortal danger, he would interfere, as to him, their lives mattered above all else.
'I guess a fight was going to break out anyway...' Enel thought to himself as he started twirling his staff behind him.
