One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 995 Auntie's Embarrassment and Flower Ball
"That's not right! Lily! Didn't you say she was around 40 years old? How come she looks younger than me?"

The old lady looked at the rejuvenated Flame Flower with an indignant look on her face and said that her appearance was locked at around 38 years old, while Flame Flower only looked around 35. It was obvious that Flame Flower was older than her!

"Well, I don't know. Maybe it's because this is the first time that Ms. Flame Flower has been infused with the Fire of Life, so the effect is better? After all, you have been here for so many years, and I'm afraid your bodies have become accustomed to this feeling, unlike Ms. Flame Flower. After all, I said that my ability is not an elixir of life. The aging of the body is actually still continuing. I am just adding water to your leaking bucket so that it can exist longer. Menopause is actually just a superficial change in the body because your life has been extended."

Lily spread her hands and said that she still didn't quite understand the ability of the fire of life. After all, there were too many legends about Suzaku. It was not certain which version of the mythology it would be close to after awakening. After all, the most exaggerated legend of Suzaku had a record of the creation legend, which was raised to the level of the God of Creation in one breath. Lily didn't dare to imagine that kind of powerful power.

"Is that so? That's an acceptable statement. Did you hear me? Flame Flower! You're lucky."

The old lady patted Flame Flower's shoulder and said that she couldn't pat her shoulder just now, and she had to bend down to grab Flame Flower's hand. Although Flame Flower, who has now recovered to the age of 30, is still much shorter than her, it is more or less not so difficult.

"I understand. Thank you all again. I didn't expect that I could still feel this youthful feeling. It's really a good experience."

Although her body has returned to its youthful state, she can't change her habit in a short time. Flame Flower is still used to calling herself "old body". However, looking at Flame Flower's current face, coupled with this self-proclaimed name, it sounds awkward.

"Okay, stop talking like that. Come on, try the black tea I brought. It's a newly developed variety and it tastes pretty good!"

The aunt interrupted Flame Flower's thanks, thinking that too much thanks would make the relationship become alienated, so she took out the black tea bag she carried with her and started making tea.

"Forget it, your tea is too sweet. I'm not used to it."

Apparently, Flame Flower had also suffered from Big Mom's "poisonous hands" when she was in the Rocks Pirates. She really couldn't accept the kind of sweet and greasy black tea.

"Tsk, what you said is all old news from many years ago. I am no longer the girl who only knows how to eat sweets. This is the latest one I planted. It has a floral scent in its sweetness, but it took a lot of effort to make it. There are only two acres of land in total. I usually can't bear to drink it, so forget it."

Big Mom glared at Flame Flower unhappily. Didn't I just cheat you with the black tea made with syrup when you were in the Rocks Pirates? Is it necessary to remember it for so many years?

“Hahahahaha, it seems that Ms. Flame Flower was also deceived by Lingling’s overly sweet black tea. But don’t worry, Lingling is no longer the same now. She no longer pursues sweetness.”

Lily laughed out loud at the lingering fear on Flame Flower's face. After all, she had tasted the overly sweet black tea before. When Big Mom found out that Lily also liked sweets, she kept recommending all kinds of desserts to her. She had also tasted the black tea made with thin syrup, but... maybe only Kizaru from the navy could stand it.

"It's too sweet, and I can bear it, but it's sticky! Who uses thick syrup to make tea? I couldn't pour it out of the teapot. I was too embarrassed to refuse, so I took a sip and couldn't say a word for half an hour. Madam Lily, if it were you, would you still be scared?"

Flame Flower obviously thought that Lily had also experienced this feeling, and said with a hint of crying.

"Wait? Thick syrup? Not thin syrup?"

Lily asked in surprise after hearing what Flame Flower said.

"Well, the thin syrup was improved by me after that incident. Actually, I couldn't open my mouth at that time. I wanted to apologize, but I really couldn't open my mouth."

The aunt said with embarrassment that it was that attempt that made her give up the idea of ​​thick syrup and switch to thin syrup, but still few people could accept it, including her children who had grown up eating sweets.

"Well, it's no wonder that Ms. Flame Flower was scared. That cup of thin syrup black tea made my throat dry for several days. If it was thick syrup, it would probably be even worse."

Lily glanced at Lingling helplessly. This guy had finally gotten rid of his childish personality after he awakened with her help. In the past, it was normal for him to have such whimsical ideas. "Mrs. Lily is right."

Flame Flower took the red teacup handed to her by the aunt, shook it gently in her hand, and after confirming that it was not a trap, she took a sip. Immediately, the aroma of tea filled her heart.

"Well, well, it's not bad, isn't it? I didn't lie this time. This is indeed a black tea variety that I made with great difficulty. Even if you ask me to use syrup to make this kind of tea, I won't do it. It's a waste."

Big Mom said as she looked at the expression on Flame Flower's face.

"Yes, it is really great. It is better than any other tea I have ever tasted."

Flame Flower nodded and said.

"Hmm... this feeling... Lingling, you wouldn't use the flame I gave you to grow tea, would you?"

After taking a sip of the black tea, Lily found that there was a familiar feeling in the tea. After thinking about it carefully, she found that it seemed to match one of the flames she gave to the aunt at that time. No, two flames, not just one.

"Mmmm, you drank it out! Indeed, I used the power of two kinds of your flames. It was an experiment. I used your flames to fill the land with vitality in advance, and then used another low-temperature flame to fry the tea. That's how I made this little tea. What do you think? If I sell it to the Celestial Dragons, would they fight over the price of 100 million Baileys for a small bag?"

The aunt said with a smile.

"Hahahaha, you think a lot. But I have a feeling that those Tianlong people are no longer in the mood to buy things. The final moment is about to come." Lily put down the teacup and said.

"That's just what I said. I don't even have enough to drink myself, so who would sell it to those pigs? But I'm not the only one who feels this way. Last time you told me about the situation with the Celestial Dragons, I felt that it was almost done. During this period, I have been asking my factories to transform cake boats, and the Homies soldiers are also stepping up production. Oh, and Moria and the Shadow Biscuit General of Cracker are the same."

The aunt said with a gloomy face.

"Let's prepare early. I feel like it won't take long. I called so many people to come to Jin's wedding this time so that we can discuss this matter later. Do you think it would be better for us to take the initiative?"

Lily said this while holding her chin, while Flame Flower was drinking tea intently without saying a word. Amazon Lily did not have the ability to participate in a war of this level, so she could only pretend that she did not exist.

"Let's talk about this later. Let's take a break now. Oh! Are we going to toss the bouquet?"

The aunt pointed into the distance, and everyone turned around to look and saw Elena standing on the steps with a bouquet in her hand. Many women of marriageable age or over the age limit were waiting in line. After all, there is a saying that the person who receives the bouquet will be the next one to get married, which makes many women yearn for it.

However, there are also those who are not eager to watch, such as the five people who are watching the fun at the back: Dai, Xia Ji, Caroline, Yuuki Wakaba and Shaker Dale.

"Ready! I'm going to throw it!"

After Elena finished speaking, she threw the bouquet out without thinking twice. Immediately, a group of people began to scramble for it, but there were too many people and the scene became a mess. The bouquet was constantly tossed up in the crowd, but no one could catch it. At this moment, a drop of black tea flew from a distance and hit the bouquet. Immediately, the bouquet flew straight out and landed in Dai's arms at a speed that no one expected.

"what?!"
