Ignoring it is the greatest form of contempt!

But looking at Luffy with a bounty of 55 billion Berries, Red with a bounty of 35 billion Berries, and the Straw Hat Pirates with their imposing presence, Judge didn't dare to act rashly at this moment.

More importantly...

Judging from the completely different attitudes the Big Mom Pirates showed towards the Straw Hat Pirates, it's obvious that in their eyes, the Straw Hat Pirates were far more important than the Vinsmoke Family.

This means that his plan to join forces with the Big Mom Pirates to regain his face is likely to fall through before it even begins!

For a moment, the two groups, each with completely different thoughts, walked toward Big Mom's castle.

"Welcome, distinguished guests!"

The biscuit door, shaped like a woman's face, slowly opened its doors with a fawning expression.

Suddenly, a burst of laughter and cheerful chatter came from inside the door.

At this moment, the interior of the castle did not resemble the territory of any of the Four Emperors in the eyes of Red and the others. Instead, it was more like entering a dreamlike fairy tale world.

Various homies were seen carrying plates and moving between the tables, placing different pastries and desserts on the tables in order.

These powerful figures, who could shake the ocean with a stomp of their feet in the outside world, were now enjoying desserts and juices at this dreamy tea party, behaving like leisurely aristocratic young women, completely out of character for their status.

All of this was because the organizer of this tea party was someone they couldn't afford to offend!

Decades of experience have taught them that if they dare not attend the aunties' tea party, their fate will be no better than that of the snacks and hommes that the aunties eat.

However, what these sea monsters didn't expect was...

Besides the familiar faces, many unexpected new faces also attended the tea party!

……

……

"Hey, hey~ No way! That guy... could he be Luffy, the Straw Hat Boy who attacked the Holy Land Mary Geoise a few months ago!?"

"What?! You mean that guy with the highest bounty in the world right now, second only to the Pirate King Roger?!"

"There's no mistake!!! Although it's a little different from the picture on the wanted poster, I absolutely won't mistake that straw hat!"

"What's more, those following behind him...aren't they the members of the Straw Hat Pirates?!"

"First Mate Red, Dragon Swordsman Zoro, Swarm Usopp, Flame Knight Sanji, Storm Witch Nami, Devil Child Robin..."

"My goodness...!"

"The bounty posters for these guys alone would probably be enough to keep my company running for ten years!"

"Don't do anything stupid! At least stay away from me when you're being silly! I'm not done living yet!"

"........."

"........."

With the Straw Hat Pirates joining, the atmosphere of the entire venue instantly changed, transforming from a heartwarming tea party into a club for members who were "taking a deep breath"!

Despite their considerable fame on the high seas, in the face of the world's true top powers, they are no different from ordinary fish; they just require more force to crush.

So when they saw the Straw Hat Pirates, a force comparable to the Four Emperors, suddenly appear here, everyone's minds started racing, trying to figure out what this meant.

That's just how the world is.

Perhaps even a casual fart from a big shot will be scrutinized by those below, who will try to analyze what the big shot ate for dinner.

Suddenly, the entire tea party fell silent.

Only the sound of footsteps from the hordes of Homies proved that time here had not been stopped by anyone's power.

The silence at the scene, however, better reflected the overwhelming shock and awe felt by these members.

However, what none of them expected was...

The first thing Luffy, the world's most wanted criminal, said upon entering the venue was...

Wow!!! So many delicious-looking foods!!!

Luffy, who had been silent for a long time after being told by Red, finally couldn't keep up the act any longer after seeing the large number of delicious desserts inside the castle!

Suddenly, as if his nose had gained self-awareness, it lifted up and sniffed hard. Then, he took a rubber leap and instantly appeared at a dining table. Before anyone could react, he began to eat voraciously without any regard for manners.

Luffy's sudden appearance even startled the pirates who were originally near the table, causing them to retreat in panic.

"Luffy, you bastard!?"

Seeing the atmosphere that had been carefully built up suddenly broken by Luffy, Red, who was about to show off, suddenly shouted helplessly.

In the end, however, he could only shake his head slightly and sigh:

"Sigh... I knew it."

What should have been an excellent debut in front of the world's major powers, laying a solid foundation for the underworld, and a scene that would have taken at least three episodes and been flashback several times in an anime, was completely destroyed by Luffy's appetite.

can only say……

With Luffy around, it's really hard to believe that his crew is the pirate crew with the world's number one bounty.

Luffy possesses a natural ability to bewitch enemies, and he has a built-in buff that reduces the intelligence of his adversaries.

"You're the Straw Hat Pirates?!"

Just as Crimson was about to wave, a man exuding a menacing aura suddenly appeared in front of him and asked him in an unfriendly tone.

"Um!?"

Chi Hong looked up curiously, and the first thing that caught her eye was a thick, fluffy scarf, followed by a short-haired man with a fierce appearance.

But this was not unfamiliar to Crimson at all!

One of the Four Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates, and also the second strongest member of the Big Mom Pirates after Big Mom herself...

Charlotte Linlin's second son—Charlotte Katakuri!

"Hey?! Isn't that Katakuri, one of the Sweet Commanders?! What are they doing blocking the Straw Hat crew's way?"

Because of Katakuri's appearance, the attention that had been drawn to Luffy was once again focused on the direction of the castle gate.

Judge and Reiju, who had entered the castle with Red and the others, really wanted to disappear into the ground.

Although none of the eyes were focused on them, being watched by so many powerful figures, even just a glance from the corner of their eye, was enough to make them feel a chill run down their spines.

At this moment, the father and daughter even wished that they could be like their three mentally challenged sons/brothers, completely unafraid of any gazes, with confident smiles on their faces.

Fortunately, at that moment, a crimson voice suddenly rang out, successfully making them realize that they were just extras and background figures who couldn't even get a supporting role.

"Didn't you invite us here?!"

"What? Are the Big Mom Pirates all goldfish, with only a seven-second memory?!"

Looking at Katakuri who suddenly stood in front of him, the crimson-faced man still wore a calm smile and spoke in a very "friendly" manner.

joke!

If Law and his crew hadn't yet found the location where Buggy and the Barto Pirates were being held, he would have already broken ties with the Big Mom Pirates!

Their time is precious, and they don't have time to waste too much on acting.

Hearing Red's hostile words, Katakuri was even more certain of his suspicions.

These guys are definitely not just here for a tea party!

Although they were just a group of rookie pirates, they were still capable of defeating a Marine Admiral by joining forces.

The Straw Hat Pirates are not even in the same league as the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

This time, Mom's actions were far too arrogant.

However, despite his thoughts, in order to maintain the dignity of the Big Mom Pirates with so many guests present, Katakuri suddenly leaned forward and said with a strong sense of threat:

"Listen!"

"I don't care what your purpose is in coming here, but I will be keeping an eye on you!"

"I will be in charge of ensuring the safety of the tea party!!!"

"Protect?" Crimson grinned crookedly. "What will you use to protect me!?"

"And also... could you please move aside!?"

You're blocking my way!

As they spoke, Crimson strode forward and grabbed Luffy, who was devouring his food, saying:

"Alright, Luffy!"

"We're special guests at the aunties' tea party, our main stage is a bit further inside!"

"Believe me, the desserts that are offered directly to the older women taste a million times better than these!!!"

Really!?

"Hehehehe..."

After eating too many sweets and releasing too much dopamine, Luffy instantly broke into a silly grin.

It's really hard to associate him with the title of "world's most wanted criminal" given his appearance.

As Katakuri watched the Straw Hat crew's figures disappear, he gently clenched his fist.

If it was just speculation before, he can now be absolutely certain...

The Straw Hat Pirates' trip is definitely not friendly!

only……

"Why isn't my Observation Haki reacting at all!?" Katakuri wondered to himself.

After all, there are only two possibilities for this situation to occur...

One possibility is that the Straw Hat crew genuinely came to the tea party and had no other intentions.

And the second point...

Within the Straw Hat crew, there was someone whose Observation Haki was even stronger than his, hindering his perception and prediction.

We absolutely cannot stand idly by!

With this in mind, Katakuri made a decision.
