章節 72: Charlotte Linlin's Rage
New World, Whole Cake Island.
As the sovereign of Whole Cake Island, Charlotte Linlin found herself in a foul mood these days. Ever since Katakuri was dispatched to Fishman Island last time, an ominous feeling lingered in her heart. Despite Perospero's mission to instruct Katakuri to evacuate Fishman Island promptly, there was no response from him.
No matter how persistently they tried to establish contact, the elusive Katakuri remained unreachable.
"Mama~ Mama~"
"What happened to Fishman Island?"
Big Mom's countenance was intensely somber.
Perospero nervously swallowed as he faced the displeased matriarch.
In recent days, he had attempted to reach the Den-den Mushi on the Katakuri Pirate Ship, but the silence from the other end was deafening.
"I'll give you one day. I want to know everything about Fishman Island!"
Big Mom's patience had run thin.
"Yes, Mother."
Perospero wore a bitter expression, fully cognizant of his mother's temperament. He dared not defy her, for in Big Mom's eyes, her supposed sons were mere instruments. Obedience and exemplary performance secured their safety, but arousing her displeasure could lead to dire consequences.
With a hint of sorrow, Perospero retreated, unsure if this would be his final directive.
Before the next day arrived, the Den-den Mushi on Katakuri's ship transmitted a message, unraveling the events on Fishman Island. The revelation disclosed that Katakuri had been apprehended aboard the Whitebeard ship. The remaining crew members were untouched, with Katakuri being the sole captive.
Upon awakening and discovering Katakuri's absence, the crew members promptly deduced the situation. The news swiftly traveled back through the Den-den Mushi, outlining the current state of affairs.
"So Katakuri was captured by Whitebeard?!"
Perospero's face underwent a drastic transformation.
He wasted no time and hurriedly made his way to the castle. Meeting with Big Mom, he relayed the news of the transpired events on Fishman Island.
"Whitebeard!"
Big Mom's visage plunged into profound gloom.
In the unfolding drama of shifting alliances and looming conflicts, Big Mom's fury reached a boiling point upon learning about Katakuri's allegiance to Whitebeard. The rage within her threatened to push her to the brink of madness as she demanded immediate contact with Whitebeard.
Perospero, trembling with fear, swiftly dialed Whitebeard's Den-den mushi as ordered. Meanwhile, in a certain sea area in the New World, Whitebeard, on his way to the Pirate Festival, received the call from Big Mom. Unfazed by her anger, Whitebeard anticipated the confrontation.
Big Mom's sharp roar echoed through the call as she accused Whitebeard of harboring Katakuri. Whitebeard, ever calm, acknowledged the situation and revealed that Katakuri had become his son, severing ties with the Big Mom Pirates.
Big Mom's voice turned cold, and a terrifying roar followed as she threatened war. Whitebeard, with a low smile, declared his readiness to face her at any time. The exchange between the two Yonko carried an air of tension, with Whitebeard's unwavering confidence and Big Mom's fury clashing over the fate of Katakuri.
Without waiting for a reply, Whitebeard hung up the Den-den mushi, emphasizing that Katakuri was now part of his crew. The declaration set the stage for a potential conflict between two of the most formidable pirate crews in the New World. The cunning and calculative nature of the characters, including Big Mom and Whitebeard, added layers of intrigue to the unfolding events, promising a clash that would reverberate through the seas.
Whole Cake Island, within the confines of the Whole Cake Chateau, Big Mom sat on her throne with a sorrowful expression.
Her eyes throbbed with anger, almost pushing her to the brink of madness. She hadn't anticipated Whitebeard's attitude to be so resolute, keeping Katakuri on board despite the risk of provoking war with her.
"Newgate!"
Low and chilling words emanated from Big Mom's mouth. She wanted to summon Katakuri back to Whole Cake Island, not out of love for her son, but because Katakuri was a vital combat force for the Big Mom Pirates. If her other children were lost or taken away, she would easily forget about them. However, Katakuri was different – a high-end combat power crucial to Big Mom's rule over the tumultuous New World. She couldn't afford to let him go, even if it meant engaging in war with Whitebeard.
"Mama~Mama~"
"Investigate Whitebeard's location, now!"
Big Mom's voice turned cold, her face revealing an extremely sinister expression. "Simultaneously, imprison Brulee. Her release will depend on when Katakuri returns!"
As one of the Four Emperors, she wasn't one to act recklessly. Big Mom knew that her second son valued family above all else. If she couldn't retrieve Katakuri smoothly from Whitebeard, she had her own method to ensure his return.
"Perorin~"
Perrospero swallowed nervously, fear flickering in his eyes. He understood – Big Mom intended to leverage Brulee's life to coerce Katakuri back. If Katakuri didn't return, it might be acceptable for highly capable siblings, but for the less capable ones, the outcome would be grim.
Examining Big Mom's demeanor, it seemed entirely plausible that she would go to war with Whitebeard over this matter. The thought sent a shiver down Perrospero's spine. Whitebeard was no longer the same after triumphing in the Summit War of Marineford, surpassing the other Three Emperors in reputation.
Through the Summit War, Perrospero had firsthand knowledge of Whitebeard's strength and the might of the Whitebeard Pirates. Going to war with them would be a formidable challenge.
Yet, he dared not disobey Big Mom's orders. He could only brace himself, hoping that Katakuri would take the initiative to return, averting the imminent war about to unfold.
