Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

A new world, a vast ocean of nations.

An island resembling a multi-layered pastry made of cake and cream.

As the protagonists of this chosen location, the Big Mom Pirates were thrown into chaos almost instantly.

Even though they were among the Four Emperors, and even though they had a monster-level captain who stood at the pinnacle of the sea, they couldn't help but fall into extreme panic and fear at this moment.

Katakuri's pupils contracted, and he immediately informed Charlotte Linlin, awaiting her decision.

"Mommy, that damned traveler chose our Kingdom!"

"Countless pirates will likely arrive here soon, what... what should we do?"

"..."

Upon hearing this bombshell, the woman froze in her sweets.

Immediately, with a ferocious expression, she smashed the food in front of her to pieces.

"The Traveler!!!"

"I kindly invited you to this tea party, and you brat have treated the whole country like your own personal playground!"

"Damn it! Damn it all!"

Tea party...

Upon hearing this word, Katakuri immediately thought of the group of dark forces giants who had already arrived in the Whole Cake Island. Those people would arrive a little earlier each year, and this year was no exception.

Now, if we want to save the world, we have no choice but to drag them down with us!

A ruthless glint flashed in Katakuri's eyes, and he immediately suggested to the enraged Charlotte Linlin:

"Mommy... we can't let Stusi and the others leave now!"

"Mommy, Mommy...that makes sense."

On occasions, when faced with an impending crisis, the old lady is quite normal and quickly understands Katakuri's thoughts.

The obese Yonko slowly stood up, tilted his head, and looked at the group of underworld giants who were preparing to flee with his copper bell-like eyes. He opened his blood-red mouth and grinned maliciously:

"Trying to run? You're all staying here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura of dominance erupted instantly, and the immense pressure caused the Homies within a radius of nearly a hundred miles to tremble.

"Katakuri, let the guests stay a few more days!"

"Yes, Mom!"

However, just as Katakuri was about to call his brothers and sisters to block Stussy and the others' path, a faint but strangely noticeable footstep sounded from afar.

Step...step...step...

Within the vast ocean, screams from Homies and cries of horror from pirates echoed continuously.

But these barely audible footsteps completely drowned out all the noise.

"!!!"

In the vast seas, everyone was suddenly startled.

Then they all looked up at the sky.

A portal suddenly appeared in the air, 1,500 meters above the sea, and the sound of footsteps came from there.

Besides footsteps, the sound of phone calls also gradually began to emerge.

"Hehe, no need, Mr. Long."

"Yes, it was intentional. Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"I've already met with Dr. Vegapunk, thank you."

"If you want to take this opportunity to do something, you'd better hurry up. Their attention is on me right now. Hmm... I shouldn't have to do it for long."

"Okay, please give my regards to Robin and tell her not to worry."

"Beep beep beep beep..."

The sound of the Den Den Mushi hanging up was perhaps the most jarring it had ever been.

The phone call, which usually only rings loudly in a small room, now echoes throughout the entire international waters!

No... it's not that it's too loud.

It was simply that the surroundings were too quiet, and people's attention was focused on this one spot.

A figure slowly emerged from the air portal.

Every step seemed to resonate with people's hearts.

A black trench coat, a sword at his waist, a gentle smile on his face—he looks completely harmless… How could that be?!

"Traveler... Traveler!!"

Within the vast ocean, someone cried out in alarm.

Once the silence is broken, it quickly returns to chaos and noise.

In an instant, almost everyone on the sea below sprang into action, running frantically toward the edge of the water.

"Run...run!"

"The traveler has arrived!"

"Damn it, how did this monster get here so fast??"

People aren't stupid, or rather, these pirates who managed to come all the way to the New World and become members of the Big Mom Pirates knew very well what would happen in Whole Cake Island after Suzuki made those remarks.

They didn't even need to think about it; it was bound to be a monstrous battle!

Just as many people were desperately fleeing, a roar instantly caused the entire sea to surge and churn.

"The Traveler!!!"

"You damn brat, why do you always cause me trouble for no reason?!"

Charlotte Lingling looked up at the figure in the sky, her face contorted with rage as she roared.

However, Suzuki paid no attention to her anger.

Looking at the pirates and dark forces fleeing in panic towards the outside world in the sea below, Suzuki remained calm. Standing in mid-air, he lightly stomped his foot, and an enormous dark light shield enveloped the area within a radius of tens of kilometers!

Then, countless drops of seawater suddenly rose at the border, forming a wall of water that surrounded everyone!

"!!!"

Stussy stopped in her tracks with a look of panic, staring in horror at the thick wall of water blocking her path.

As a spy for the World Government, Stussy learned some of the true story of the Holy Land Mary Geoise from the Five Elders, and also had some understanding of Suzuki's strange abilities.

This is... the awakening of the Paramecia-type Gluttony Fruit!

"Traveler! What do you want?"

"Why are you stopping us?"

"Damn it, why can't we break through this water wall??"

Pirates attacked the water wall, breaking through it, but the breach was quickly filled by a continuous stream of seawater.

Suzuki looked down and slowly drew a sharp blade from the vortex, speaking calmly:

"No passage allowed!"

"Mommy, Mommy... Seriously, you're driving me crazy!"

With an angry expression, the Fourth Mistress removed the Homie bicorn hat—a symbol of Napoleon—from her head and held it tightly in her hand.

Then, with each foot stepping on a ball of lightning and flame, it rapidly charged towards Suzuki in the air:

"Damn brat traveler! Die!"

"The Spear of Elbaf—!"

Charlotte Linlin, known as the Steel Balloon and possessing absolute defense, has an innate, monstrous physique. Her strength is unbelievable; even with less-than-stellar swordsmanship, she can unleash terrifying slashes with her immense power.

The Conqueror's Haki shook the heavens and earth, and a sword aura nearly a thousand meters long slashed through the air, fiercely attacking with dark purple lightning!

"A small appetizer before the big battle is not bad."

Suzuki's eyes were calm, and the silver-white blade in his hand gradually began to gleam with a chilling light.

……

……

February 3, 1510 (Haiyuan Calendar)

Two days and 23 hours have passed since Suzuki issued the announcement.

At Whole Cake Island in the Whole Cake Island region, all was quiet, as if no battle had ever taken place, or even as if no Yonko pirate crew had ever stood there.

Looking at the empty Whole Cake Island, the pirates who had come here couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"What's going on? Shouldn't this be the Big Mom Pirates' headquarters?"

"Yeah, where are they? I haven't seen a single one of them."

"Could they have run away beforehand?"

"Where is the traveler...? I haven't seen the traveler anywhere."

Despite the large number of people nearby, the pirates suddenly fell silent as one of the Four Emperors' pirate crews mysteriously disappeared.

For a moment, the cake area was eerily quiet.

About ten minutes later.

A sudden exclamation broke the silence.

"My God! That's... Wang Zhi, a former officer of the Rocks Pirates and a super pirate of the last era!"

An old pirate with a weathered face looked at the figures on a wooden ship approaching from afar, and was extremely shocked.

Upon hearing the term "super pirate," many young pirates around couldn't help but look over.

"The Rocks Pirates? What's that?"

"Could they be even stronger than the Roger Pirates?"

"Ha, who is Roger?"

The young pirate chuckled at the question, then, amidst the puzzled gazes of the younger pirates, slowly spoke:

"The Rocks Pirates...that was a terrifying pirate crew from about twenty years ago, before the Great Pirate Era!"

"Captain Rocks was incredibly powerful. He himself disappeared for some unknown reason, but you must know his crew!"

"One of the current Four Emperors, the strongest man in the world—Whitebeard Edward Newgate, was once a member of the Rocks Pirates."

"The other two Yonko, Kaido of the Beasts and Big Mom, were also once executives of the Rocks Pirates!"

"Even the legendary pirate, the Flying Admiral Shiki the Golden Lion, was once a member of the Rocks Pirates!"

"Now you should understand, right? Who is Wang Zhi?"

"Hiss~"

The pirates gasped, looking at the wooden ship in the distance with shock and fear. They quickly made way and stepped back, leaving space for the strongman.

But soon.

A terrifying slash once again startled the pirates.

Bang! ! !

A massive, terrifying sword aura cleared away a large number of pirates surrounding Whole Cake Island, followed by a sharp, angry shout.

"Get out of my way! I'm Whitebeard's woman, and Weevil is Whitebeard's son!"

"How dare you trash and useless people block our way?"

The short Miss Barkin, with her tall, good-natured son Edward Weevil, came speeding by in a small wooden boat.

"Damn it, another monster!"

The surrounding pirates were both angry and helpless, and could only curse under their breath as they made way for them and retreated a little further.

Twenty minutes later, about half an hour before Suzuki's agreed time.

A terrifying roar echoed from the sky.

"roar--"

"Jack! You brat, I'm not waiting for you next time! Damn it, you made me so late!"

"Huh? No way, Boss Kaido, you have to include me in this!"

"Hmph! Get out of here!"

"!!!"

The group of pirates stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with terror as they looked up at the sky.

A giant azure dragon flew swiftly on a cloud of flames, accompanied by gales and thunder. In its claws, it gripped an enormous mammoth. Then, as it approached the vicinity of Cake Island, it suddenly released its grip.

"Hahaha... Traveler, your Uncle Jack is here!"

The enormous mammoth plummeted from a height of thousands of meters like a meteorite.

Bang! ! !

The ocean was blasted into a crater hundreds of meters wide!

"Ahhhhh—"

"Help!"

Below, some pirates who hadn't managed to escape served as human cushions.

Dozens of pirate ships were smashed to pieces, with seawater and wood chips mixed with blood and foam splashing everywhere!

"Hehehehe... Kaido, you're being far too irritable with your subordinates."

High in the sky, a wild, defiant laugh rang out.

Then, the clouds rolled violently, and one after another, the floating islands shot out like flying warships!

"My God, that's... one of the legendary three great pirates, the flying pirate who stands alongside Pirate King Roger and the world's strongest man, Whitebeard—Golden Shiki!"

Below, the pirates on the sea surface cried out in surprise once again.

Kaido of the Beasts narrowed his enormous blue dragon eyes, then grinned and laughed loudly:

"Hahahaha..."

"I wondered who it was? It's Shiki-senpai, it's been a long time..."

Shiki the Golden Lion, with a ship's wheel atop his head, stood arrogantly on the deck of the floating pirate ship, saying:

"Hmph! Of course!"

"I'm not like you juniors who only know how to vie for the title of Yonko (Emperor of the Sea). A true pirate should do things that everyone fears!"

"Huh? You're mocking me..."

Just as Kaido's veins were bulging, preparing to exchange blows with the old veteran.

Below, Wang Zhi and Miss Ba Jin's shouts could be heard.

"Shiki—"

"Kaido—"

"snort!"

Kaido lowered his head slightly, looking at the many figures below. He squinted, seemingly lost in thought. With a cold snort, the Azure Dragon stopped its attack and swooped down towards the spot where Jack the Drought had fallen.

"Hehehehe..."

Shiki the Golden Lion laughed nonchalantly, then slowly floated down.

"..."

As the terrifying monsters arrived one after another, the pirates could only keep retreating, and retreating again and again, in their pirate ship.

……

at the same time.

As a world-renowned newspaper dedicated to pursuing big news, under Morgans' command, its reporters have dispersed to various islands in the ocean, all carrying video Den Den Mushi (snail phone) devices.

……

The Royal Palace of the Kingdom of Alabasta.

King Cobra pointed to the center of the hall, indicating to his ministers to place the video Den Den Mushi there, then turned his head and shouted towards a side hall:

"Weiwei, hurry up! It's about to start!"

"Here I am, here I am~"

A little blue-haired girl ran quickly from the side hall and leaned against Cobra's side, staring expectantly at the still-black Den Den Mushi, her cute big eyes wide with curiosity as she asked:

"Why isn't it open yet?"

"It'll be here soon."

Cobra patted his daughter's head and waited quietly for the image to appear.

……

East Sea, Frostmoon Village.

Accompanied by Kuina and Shimotsuki Koshiro, Zoro arrived at the village square.

The square was crowded with people. Many residents of Shuangyue Village had put down their work and gathered around the square to wait for the video to appear.

"Why hasn't it started yet? Will there be any swordsmen? There must be!"

Zoro shouted excitedly, almost impatiently.

Kuina, standing to the side, looked at her father, Shimotsuki Koshiro, with some concern and asked in a low voice:

"Father, is Suzuki-senpai really alright?"

"Hehe, don't worry."

Shimotsuki Koshiro smiled gently, then stroked his daughter's head, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at the video Den Den Mushi that was about to play, and said:

"Suzuki is always calm and collected."

"Since he has done this, he must have already thought about how to deal with it."

……

Donghai, Windmill Village.

Shanks and Hawkeye Mihawk, both wrapped in bandages, sat together in Makino's tavern, silently watching the video Den Den Mushi in the plaza outside.

The heavy and oppressive atmosphere made the tavern owner, Makino, and Beckman and the others from the Red-Haired Pirates exchange glances, not daring to utter a sound.

"...The sea is about to become chaotic."

Red-haired Shanks sighed, breaking the silence.

"Really? Isn't that great?"

Hawkeye responded calmly.

Outside the gate, in the square.

"Why isn't there any video yet?! I'm so anxious...!"

The naturally lively Luffy paced back and forth impatiently.

"One trillion Berries... If I had known Suzuki was so rich, I should have borrowed some from him back then!"

"Waaaaah... My money, my money..."

Bucky clutched his head, squatted on the ground, and wept bitterly.

……

……

It was about five minutes before the time agreed upon with Suzuki.

Whole Cake Island, two thousand meters above the ground.

Morgans looked at the numerous figures on the sea below with great excitement, and then turned on the video Den Den Mushi.

At the same time.

East Sea Windmill Village, Frostmoon Village, Cocossia Island, Alabasta, Drum Island, Water Seven...

The Holy Land Mary Geoise, Sabaody Archipelago, Naval Headquarters, Twin Capes, Revolutionary Army Headquarters...

Countless islands across the vast ocean, their video Den Den Mushi activated simultaneously!

"Ahem, hello everyone~"

"This is the site of the ultimate battle, the Whole Cake Island in the New World's Whole Cake Island, the headquarters of one of the Four Emperors, the Big Mom Pirates!"

"I am Morgans, a reporter for the News of the World."

"On the high seas, many are speculating about how many people will participate in the operation to hunt down the travelers, and which important figures will arrive. Well then, the World News will now bring you live coverage—"

The camera pulls back.

The camera slowly rises, centering on Whole Cake Island.

Gradually, the sea surface, spanning nearly a hundred kilometers in radius, came into view, along with... the countless pirate ships that surrounded Whole Cake Island, resembling tiny black dots!

How much is that?

Ten thousand? Twenty thousand? Thirty thousand?

The number of pirate ships alone is already astronomical, and as for the pirates, people simply cannot count them!

"How...how scary!"

"How can there be so many pirates?!"

"Why are our kingdom's guards there too?"

"My God, isn't that the strongest creature in the world—Kaido, one of the Four Emperors? And isn't that the legendary pirate Shiki?"

"With so many monsters, how could a traveler possibly survive?!"

"The traveler is doomed!" (End of Chapter)
