One Piece: Starting from Obtaining the Float-Float Fruit

"Let's have a banquet! Welcome our new friends!" Anya greeted everyone.

Katakuri and Perospero seemed a little reserved. To be honest, they just wanted to complete the task their mother had given them, but Anya still wouldn't give them any definite information.

After all the dishes were served, Anya finally spoke up and asked a question.

"I heard that Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, is inviting me to a tea party, is that right?"

"Yes, Mom wants to marry Smoothie off to you." Katakuri nodded.

Anya was amused. Why did Big Mom send her daughters to school every day? And to be honest, not many of her daughters were pretty, so Anya naturally wouldn't be interested.

However, he's quite interested in Katakuri...

"Oh, I see. Please thank your mother for her kindness, but I'm not planning to go to the New World anytime soon," Anya politely declined.

Now is not the time to start a war with the Four Emperors, so there is naturally no need to cause any conflict.

Hearing Anya's words, the two relaxed and did not refuse forcefully, which was already considered giving them face.

"In that case, we won't stay any longer." Katakuri said, preparing to leave after hearing Anya's refusal.

"Wait," Anya called out to them.

The two froze on the spot. Was he about to make a move?

"Forget about marrying your sister, but I can still attend the tea party. However, the person I want is you." Anya pointed at Katakuri after saying that.

The air suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

Mihawk stared at him in disbelief.

Perona also felt that her childhood had been horrifically traumatized, and silently covered her ears.

De Solo and Sikoror felt a chill run down their spines.

Katakuri was so angry that his veins bulged. Was this person insulting him?

Perospero quietly moved a little further away from Katakuri. What was going on? This was disgusting.

"Um, don't get me wrong, what I mean is, I admire you." Anya felt that her words were a little strange.

The crowd remained as quiet as ever.

"No, no, it should be, I want you to join our pirate crew! We're short of capable people."

Hmm... Anya feels like this is getting weirder and weirder.

"Enough!!! Are you humiliating me?" Katakuri was truly angry; he felt that the man in front of him was disgusting him.

"Oh, no, I really didn't mean that, please believe me!"

Anya felt that she couldn't explain herself now.

Mihawk, who was standing to the side, also quietly moved away from Anya. He hadn't expected that this seemingly normal person would actually have homosexual tendencies.

"How about this, I'll pay your mother 50 billion Berries, in exchange for you joining my pirate crew. What do you say?" Anya didn't care about anything else and invited Katakuri to join on the spot.

Katakuri roughly understood Anya's meaning: he wanted to betray his mother and become her subordinate.

"I could never betray my mother. Let's leave this topic at that." Katakuri coldly rejected Anya.

"Huh? The captain's been dumped?" Xikelol exclaimed in surprise.

Anya's eyes immediately turned towards him, and Xikeluo immediately shut his mouth. He had a premonition that if he said another word, Anya would strangle him.

"Don't refuse so quickly. Why don't you give your mom a call and let her know?"

Honestly, Anya is about 90% confident that she can temporarily fool Katakuri.

After all, Big Mom is a greedy person. Five billion Berries is no small amount, and she would definitely be tempted. Moreover, she could send Katakuri over as an undercover agent.

That's right, Anya knew very well that even if Katakuri joined him, it would only be a pretense, but that didn't matter. He only needed Katakuri to do things for him; other information wasn't important.

After all, Anya couldn't possibly entrust him with such important intelligence.

Furthermore, by releasing information that is partly true and partly false, one can make Katakuri, a pawn, play other roles.

When Katakuri heard Anya say this, he couldn't help but frown. Fifty billion Berries for himself, his mother might actually agree.

He was caught in a dilemma for a moment.

Perospero, standing nearby, subtly nudged Katakuri's arm, sensing that he had something to say.

"Can my older brother and I go aside and discuss this first?" Katakuri asked.

"Okay, take them to an empty room. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer." Anya nodded and agreed to Katakuri's request.

Led by Xikelol, the two arrived at an empty room.

The two carefully observed their surroundings, finding no other presences or listening devices.

"Big brother, what do you want to say?" Katakuri asked.

"I think you can say yes to him!" Perospero said earnestly.

Katakuri was dumbfounded: "Why? Brother, do you really think those five billion Berries are worth more than me?"

"No, you can infiltrate Anya's group! You can also get five billion Berries from Mom, killing two birds with one stone!" Perospero was very intelligent, and he quickly figured out the benefits he could gain from this.

Katakuri pondered for a moment and felt that his older brother seemed to be right; he could indeed stay here.

"Let's ask Mom first," Katakuri said, not making the decision himself.

Perospero agreed with Katakuri's approach and then took out his mother's Den Den Mushi.

……

A new world, a world of nations.

"Huh? Anya doesn't want Smoothie, but wants Katakuri to be his subordinate, and he's willing to pay 5 billion Berries for it?"

The woman sat up and asked earnestly.

"That's right, Mom."

Upon hearing Perospero's affirmative answer, the old woman looked puzzled. Anya didn't want a woman, but a man? What a strange fellow.

Perospero then told the old lady about the follow-up plan.

"Well done, Perospero! That's how it's done, I agree!"

She wasn't worried at all about the possibility of Katakuri betraying her; after all, he was still her own son.

And she gets 50 billion Berries for free, isn't that amazing? The expenses in all aspects of World of Warcraft are huge, and with these 50 billion Berries, she could even build a few more dessert islands.

Katakuri fell silent after hearing his mother agree to the plan without hesitation.

He felt that his brothers and sisters were just tools to please his aunt.

Perospero, who was standing nearby, seemed to notice that Katakuri was feeling rather dejected.

"Don't worry, you're just an undercover agent. Your mother definitely wouldn't want to hand you over to someone else." He patted Katakuri on the shoulder.

"I know," Katakuri replied calmly.

Seeing that Katakuri had no objections, Perospero was relieved.
