One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

In the center of the island, inside an ice cream-shaped house that wasn't too badly damaged, an honest-looking middle-aged man was peeking out through a corner of the window.

He looked around at the street scene outside the house and found nothing unusual. He also didn't see any ferocious pirates landing on the island and causing destruction. He breathed a sigh of relief, forced a simple smile, and turned to a little girl with twin ponytails sitting behind him. He said respectfully, "Lady Flampe, I didn't see any Don Quixote family pirates."

"Idiot! I told you not to call me Franpe. I'm your daughter Nolan now. Are you trying to kill me? You stupid wretch! Do you believe I'll kill you right now?"

Franpe floated three feet off the ground with her arms crossed. Her limbs were thin, and her body was swollen like a ball. She wore a pink polka-dot dress, like a pink bee.

She is sweet and lovely, and is Charlotte Linlin's 36th daughter.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that such a sweet and lovely little girl would utter such cold, ruthless, and arrogant words.

The man, terrified by her reprimand, trembled and knelt on the ground, repeatedly agreeing in a trembling voice of extreme fear.

Franpe became increasingly agitated.

She hated everything about this place, hated being with these stupid and lowly commoners.

Not only are there no delicious desserts here, but there are also no servants to order around and scold. Most of the time, she has to hide carefully and pretend to be a pitiful daughter of a lowly commoner in order to escape the capture of the Don Quixote family pirates.

As a result, Flampe, Charlotte Linlin's 36th daughter and the most beautiful and lovely princess in the Charlotte family, was practically going crazy with frustration.

"That damned Akainu! He actually killed Mom. And that useless brother Katakuri, who called himself the Charlotte Family's greatest masterpiece and the most perfect older brother, can't even protect Mom and was defeated by a mere Vice Admiral, losing his arm in the process! What an idiot! I will never love him again!"

Flampe, who missed the opportunity to go to sea with her mother to kill Edward Weevil because she was too young, unexpectedly survived and was able to live in the town of Fruit Tree on Juice Island.

However, because she is Charlotte Linlin's daughter, she is sought after by both the Don Quixote family and the Charlotte family.

The former wanted to capture her and use her as a bargaining chip, just like Smoothie, to restrain the enraged Katakuri.

The latter wanted to save her and bring together the surviving Charlotte siblings.

Unfortunately, Franpe is now filled with resentment and doesn't want to go anywhere.

She only wanted to go back to the past, back to the life she had as Charlotte Linlin's daughter, where she could do whatever she wanted in the vast Tottoland Sea.

Unfortunately, everything is irreversible.

Her mother is dead.

The invincible Queen of Tottoland is now a thing of the past.

Thinking of this, Franpe felt increasingly aggrieved and irritated. Seeing the man kneeling on the ground, trembling and crying softly, she became even angrier.

A fierce glint flashed in her beautiful eyes. She quietly took out a blowgun from her bosom, puffed out her cheeks, and blew on the arm of the man kneeling and weeping before her.

"Whoosh!"

The tiny silver needles in the blowgun flashed and disappeared in mid-air.

The next instant, the man kneeling on the ground cried out in pain, clutching his arm pierced by the silver needles and collapsing to the ground.

His eyes were filled with terror as he watched the tiny wound on his arm turn purplish-black at an alarming speed, spreading rapidly from his arm to his shoulder and chest, and then throughout his entire body in a very short time.

Within minutes, the man's skin turned purplish-black, indicating he was poisoned. He lay on the ground, foaming at the mouth, and after a few twitches, he died.

Franpe snorted coldly upon seeing this.

"Hmph, what a useless person. He died after just one poison needle. He was indeed just a stupid and lowly inferior, not even worthy of being my toy. It seems I'll have to find another lowly commoner."

A sly smile crept across her little face as she chuckled, "Then this time, I'll find a mom. Hehehe, I hope she'll be a gentle and beautiful mom."

As Franpe was thinking, the house she was in suddenly began to shake violently.

The wall, which was still several meters away, suddenly tilted and hit her petite body, sending her flying and crashing to the ground in a sorry state.

"Damn it, what's going on now? An earthquake?" Franpe cried out in annoyance.

Before she could finish speaking, the walls of the surrounding houses, and even the ground beneath her, began to rise rapidly, with thick, protruding fingers reaching out to grab her.

Before Franpe could scream, she was grabbed by a giant rock hand formed from a house, as if it were catching a small bird.

A powerful squeezing force surged from all directions, instantly causing Franpe's small mouth to open wide, emitting painful groans and dry heaving.

"I've found you, Charlotte Flampe."

A shrill voice rang out from outside.

Immediately, the entire house shattered and broke apart, and Franpe was grabbed from the ground by a giant hand with a diameter of more than ten meters and lifted into the air dozens of meters high.

Franpei barely opened her eyes and saw a colossal giant, hundreds of meters tall, whose body seemed to be made of the island's houses, streets, and rubble. He was holding her petite body in one hand and standing in the center of Juice Island with a joyful expression on his face.

"Let go of...me, you lowly hulking giant..."

Franpe said, enunciating each word clearly.

"Sorry, no, young master is going to use you to lure out your good brother Katakuri."

Pica grinned, and with a swift movement of his rocky hand, he crushed Franpe, who was in his grasp, until she passed out.

One day later, Flour Island.

This is one of the few islands in Totland that has escaped the ravages of war and chaos.

This was all because Katakuri and the remnants of the Charlotte Family had gathered on five islands surrounding Flour Island.

This was originally his territory, which he had already managed to establish as an impenetrable stronghold.

Coming back now is simply taking over again.

Katakuri possesses a powerful personal charisma and enjoys a prestige within Totto Land that his other siblings do not possess, earning him the deep affection of his younger siblings and the people of Totto Land.

Now, using the five islands surrounding Flour Island as his base, he is gradually reuniting the scattered Big Mom Pirates, aiming to regain Charlotte Family control of the Totto Land.

In fact, if Smoothie and her brother Perospero hadn't been held captive by Doflamingo, Katakuri would have already led his men to Whole Cake Island and killed Doflamingo.

As the most capable subordinate of the Four Emperors, he didn't even consider a mere Shichibukai a threat.

"Brother! Katakuri brother!"

Suddenly, Brulee's anxious voice came from afar, making Katakuri, who was thinking about how to rescue Smoothie and Perospero, look up.

"What's wrong, Brulee? Don't rush, tell me slowly."

Katakuri stood up and went to greet him.

His voice was still so gentle, just like the perfect older brother he always was.

However, he no longer uses a scarf to cover his ferocious mouth full of fangs.

His missing left arm was filled with white glutinous rice balls, and now it looked like a white arm, as if he were wearing a white glove.

Aside from the lack of flesh and blood, it doesn't actually affect the use of the arm at all.

Upon seeing Katakuri approaching, the previously flustered Brulee immediately calmed down, took a deep breath, and quickly said, "It's Flampe. Doflamingo's men have captured Flampe and are currently sending her back to Whole Cake Island."

"Flampe?" Katakuri's expression turned serious, and he strode towards the port. "We can't let Flampe fall into Doflamingo's hands too. Brûlée, do you know where she is right now?"

"They did not conceal their whereabouts. Pica, a senior member of the Don Quixote family, was leading Flampe in the waters near Cake Island, more than two hundred miles away."

Brûlée hesitated for a moment, then added, "Katakuri, I have a feeling this is a trap. They haven't concealed their movements at all; perhaps they're trying to use Flampe to lure you out. Brother..."

Brulee was about to say something when Katakuri interrupted her gently.

Katakuri stretched out his enormous hand and patted Brûlée's head, saying resolutely, "No matter what, I will save Flampe. So what if Doflamingo has set up an ambush? I am Katakuri! Don't worry, Brûlée, just stay on the island and wait for me to come back."

With that, Katakuri strode away, quickly boarded a pirate ship docked in the harbor, and sped off towards the waters of Cake Island that Brulee had mentioned.

On the shore, Brulee thought about it for a while with great concern, but then she put aside her worries, took out a Den Den Mushi, and began to contact Snag and the others, saying that they would go over to help them later.

Recalling Katakuri's ever-gentle tone, Brulee couldn't help but feel her eyes redden and secretly clench her fists.

"Katakuri is the pillar of the Charlotte family now, and he absolutely cannot be harmed. If I could keep Katakuri safe, I would gladly die."

A day later, more than a hundred miles off the coast of Crispy Island, Katakuri's pirate ship finally caught up with the Flamingo, which was sailing straight ahead, after traveling all night.

But before he could get close, a figure wearing a pink cloak appeared on the bow of the Flamingo.

"Fufufufu, Katakuri, you really came. You're a great older brother. You know what? What I like most is someone who won't betray the family. Fufufufu, think about it, how about joining my Donquixote Family? I can be your equal and make you the vice-captain of the Donquixote Pirates."

Doflamingo crouched on the ship's railing, grinning as he watched Katakuri approach.

It's clear that he truly values ​​Katakuri highly.

It's not just Katakuri's formidable strength.

His unwavering care and protection for Charlotte's siblings is what Doflamingo admires most.

If he could, he would really be willing to put aside his grudges and form an alliance with Katakuri to rule Totto Land together.

In that case, the Donquixote family's power would increase dramatically, and he would move closer to the status of one of the Four Emperors.

Katakuri didn't speak, but suddenly turned his head to look at the sea to Doflamingo's left.

Doflamingo smirked, "Fufufu, as expected of someone with Observation Haki that can foresee the future, you knew all this in advance?"

He tilted his head to look at the sea next to the Flamingo and laughed loudly, "Fufufufu, come out, you've been exposed."

"ember."

Chapter 519 Katakuri VS King

As Doflamingo finished speaking, a huge, dark shadow rapidly rose from the depths of the sea, causing the seawater on the side of the Flamingo to explode, drawing the attention of the pirates on both ships.

That was a huge black submarine, Dean's other submarine, the Giant Shark.

As soon as the Giant Shark submarine broke the surface, its heavy hatch swung open with a clang, and a swift black figure flew out, rushing towards Katakuri's pirate ship with lightning speed.

"Enemy attack! Engage the enemy! Open fire!"

On the ship where Katakuri was, his younger siblings screamed and frantically tried to operate the ship's cannons to bombard the approaching black shadow.

But their actions were destined to be a step too slow.

The dark shadow hurtled across the sea, moving so fast it was like a black phantom, and the gust of wind it created created a straight wave in the seawater beneath it.

In the blink of an eye, the black phantom flew in front of Katakuri, flapping its large wings and unleashing a barrage of fiery blades at the pirate ship.

"The Twin Emperors Within the Blade!"

Despite the overwhelming barrage of fireballs, Katakuri remained unfazed. He opened his right hand, and white mochi balls surged in his palm, forming round mochi balls which he casually flung into the air.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

A handful of mochi balls flew out, colliding with the incoming fireballs with incredible precision. They exploded above the pirate ship, and not a single fireball managed to land before Katakuri intercepted them all.

"Hmph! Katakuri, I advise you to surrender. Do you intend to fight me in this landless place? Your Devil Fruit awakening is useless here. Brother Kaido values ​​you highly and hopes you can join his ranks, bringing your Charlotte family with you. Your mother, Charlotte Linlin, was Brother Kaido's former comrade. Brother Kaido is kind-hearted and generous, willing to accept you and provide you with protection."
