One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

New World, Totto Land, Whole Cake Island.

This island, made entirely of desserts, is filled with a sweet and cloying atmosphere.

Inside the giant cake castle in the center, a grand tea party is underway.

Charlotte Linlin, a woman of enormous stature, sat in the main seat, her huge hand clutching a cream cake almost the size of her head.

She was chewing heartily, cream smeared all over her mouth and clothes, and she let out a satisfied "Mamamama" laugh.

"Mommy, Mommy!"

The eldest son, Perospero, held the latest newspapers and intelligence documents.

He strode into the banquet hall, licking his candy cane with his long tongue, a serious expression on his face.

"Perospero, any news? Mamamama~"

Charlotte Lingling seemed to be in a good mood, and grabbed another huge cup of milk tea and gulped it down.

"Yes, Mom. It's about Beehive Island and the latest information about the Roy Pirates."

Perospero licked his candy cane with his long tongue.

"Wang Zhi is indeed dead. He was killed by the Roy Pirates."

Beehive Island is now completely under the control of the Roy Pirates.

"It's under vigorous development!"

"The Roy Pirates?"

Charlotte Linlin paused in her movements.

"Is that the brat who's been causing such a ruckus? Mamamama~ Interesting."

"That good-for-nothing Wang Zhi can't even beat a kid."

"That's not all."

Perospero's expression turned serious.

"According to our intelligence, the Roy Pirates and the Beasts Pirates have formed an alliance."

Kaido even sent King with reinforcements to support the construction of Beehive Island.

"What?!"

Charlotte Linlin abruptly raised her head, a dangerous glint in her eyes.

"That brat Kaido? Allied with Roy?"

Charlotte Lingling paused slightly as she chewed, her large eyes glancing at Perospero.

"Yes, Mom."

Perospero nodded.

"Furthermore, according to our informants, King, the 'Wildfire' of the Beasts Pirates, led a large number of craftsmen and supplies into Beehive Island and stayed there for quite some time."

Although Kaido himself has not appeared, the cooperative relationship between the two sides is already very clear.

It can be concluded that the Roy Pirates and the Beasts Pirates have formed an alliance.

"Mamamama~~~!!!"

Charlotte Linlin suddenly burst into a strange laugh, which made the candy decorations on the top of the castle tremble.

She put down the cake, her huge body trembling with laughter.

"Kaido! My little brother from Rocks' ship back then!!"

Her laughter carried a hint of reminiscence and even more disdain.

"If I hadn't protected him back then, he would have been bullied to death by the other guys on the ship!"

"After Rocks was gone, I even invited him to join Whole Cake Island, and he dared to refuse me!"

Charlotte Linlin's eyes turned dangerous, and a trace of Conqueror's Haki unconsciously leaked out.

This caused a moment of tension for Homies and his children, who were standing in the banquet hall.

"Now look what's happened. They rejected my invitation, Charlotte Linlin, and turned around to ally with some brat who appeared out of nowhere?"

Mamamama, Kaido.......

Her voice grew softer, but the anger in her eyes grew stronger.

Perospero said cautiously,

"Mom, after Kaido refused your invitation, he formed the Beasts Pirates on his own."

They have developed rapidly over the years and are now one of the most powerful forces in the new world.

"So what?"

Charlotte Linlin sat back on her throne, grabbed a piece of cake, and stuffed it into her mouth, her chewing motions filled with rage.

"He's just an ungrateful brat."

Now he's actually allied with another brat... Mama mama~ Looks like he thinks he's all grown up and doesn't need his old lady anymore.

"Mom, should we take action?" Perospero asked.

"Mom, do we need to take action on Beehive Island?"

Beehive Island has a very important geographical location, and it's one thing for that good-for-nothing Wang Zhi to occupy it.

Now they've replaced him with a newcomer who seems quite ambitious and capable.

Their alliance with Kaido could potentially impact our interests in the northern part of the New World.

Charlotte Linlin tapped her enormous fingers on the table, lost in thought. After a while, she waved her hand.

"Not for now."

"There are plenty of people who want to get their hands on that piece of bone from Beehive Island."

Let those arrogant fools test that brat Roy's mettle first. Perospero!

"Yes, Mom!"

"Strengthen monitoring of the northern edge of our waters, especially the shipping lanes near Beehive Island."

"At the same time, keep a close eye on the Roy Pirates' every move, as well as Kaido's movements."

I need to know the details of their alliance, what exactly is that kid capable of that makes Kaido, that proud guy, take notice of him.

"Mmamama, perhaps... she'd be a good match for an arranged marriage?"

Charlotte Linlin licked her lips, a calculating glint in her eyes.

"Yes, Mom! I understand!"

Perospero bowed and withdrew to begin arranging related matters.

Charlotte Linlin picked up a new piece of cake, but her gaze seemed to pierce through the castle walls, looking towards the turbulent sea in the northern part of the New World.

"Roy... Kaido... you brats of the new era, don't keep this old lady too bored. Mamamama~"

Almost simultaneously, in another relatively tranquil sea area of ​​the New World,

The Whitebeard Pirates' flagship, the Moby Dick, is currently anchored near Sphinx Island.

On the deck, Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man, sat in his personal giant chair, with the enormous naginata "Murakumogiri" standing beside him.

He was holding a wine jug larger than an average person's and drinking heartily.

The sons sat around, the atmosphere relaxed and pleasant.

"Dad, the latest newspapers and news."

First Division Captain and Ship's Doctor

Marco the Phoenix walked over with a newspaper in his hand, a hint of seriousness in his signature dead fish eyes.

"Gurararara! What's wrong, Marco? Is something interesting happening again?"

The white-bearded man put down his wine jug and let out a hearty laugh.

Marco unfolded the newspaper and pointed to the headline.

"Honeycomb Island has changed hands. Wang Zhi was killed, and now the Roy Pirates are occupying it."

"Roy?"

The white-bearded man took the newspaper and carefully turned the pages with his large fingers.

He read very quickly, finishing the main content in just a few seconds.

"Roy...that brat..."

The white-bearded man put down his newspaper, his eyes becoming deep and thoughtful.

When did I start paying attention to this young man?

Was it when Roy and his friends embarrassed the Golden Lion, or the tsunami that shocked the world a few years ago on Sabaody Archipelago?

Whitebeard had initially considered recruiting Roy, until...

I met them on a deserted island two years ago. At that time, Roy and his group were young, but their strength was already considerable.

"Dad!"

Marco adjusted his glasses, his tone tinged with a hint of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and reflection).

Two years ago, they were just starting out. Although they were quite capable, they were very small in scale.

But now... the Enies Lobby incident, the great prison break at Progress City,

Now they've eliminated Wang Zhi and taken over Beehive Island; their development speed is too fast.

Fourth Division Captain Sachi interjected.

"Wang Zhi, that guy, although he's a traitor, his Power-Power Fruit is really troublesome."

"The fact that Roy was able to defeat him means he's stronger than we thought."

The white-bearded man took a swig of wine and said slowly,

"Wang Zhi... Hmph, he had ulterior motives when he was on the Lockes ship, and his strength was not top-notch among the officers. He has been hiding on Beehive Island for years and enjoying himself. He is probably already useless."

However, it was indeed a bit surprising that Roy was able to defeat him so easily and take over Beehive Island.

"Gurarara, Roger, that guy, he has a good eye for people."

He recalled that two years ago on the deserted island, the Roy Pirates, though small in number...

But the potential it showed and the fearless spirit of a newborn calf...

In particular, Roy's sharp and ambitious eyes and domineering aura left a deep impression on him.
