NOVEL NEXT Chapter 189: 189 Totto Land
Teach was instantly knocked out, as if his body were being pierced by heat vision.
If the Sea Kings hadn't blocked first, he would have been severely injured. His body flew through the air in a graceful arc before falling into the distant sea.
"Whoosh~"
A figure, fast as lightning, shot out from the Sea Kings' body, hovering in mid-air. He looked down at everyone on the ship with a disdainful expression.
"Mr. Tom?"
Seeing Tom, everyone was stunned.
Beneath black tights, his muscles were bursting, exuding a powerful, graceful beauty of muscle.
A jet-black cloak billowed behind him in the strong wind, and the cold "T" logo on his chest gave off an air of invincibility. The word "invincible" seemed etched on Tom's face.
Is this the same Tom they had seen before?
This was the true strength of the immortal swordsman!
"Mr. Tom, please save Teach! He was accidentally injured by your attack just now," Vista said, instinctively using an honorific when seeing Tom Cat's overwhelming power.
Tom Cat remained silent, nodding indifferently, before vanishing into a streak of black light.
In the blink of an eye, Tom Cat returned to the same spot, holding Teach, now drenched and struggling like a drowned rat.
"Thank you, Mr. Tom, thank you!"
Everyone was once again stunned by Tom Cat's speed. Was this even possible?
On the whole ship, only Lynch and Whitebeard could clearly see Tom Cat. Marco and the others could barely catch glimpses of his afterimages.
Thatch nervously helped Teach up, speaking accusingly, "You hit Mr. Tom so hard, yet he ended up saving you. Why don't you thank him?"
Thatch was worried Tom might be angry with Teach because of the earlier incident.
Given Tom's speed, it was clear that, except for Pops, no one on the ship could match him.
"Hehehe, didn't Tom act on his own?" Teach, now drenched and resembling a drowned rat, said to Tom with a grin.
"Thank you, Tom, for helping me. I, Teach, will definitely repay you in the future."
Despite the smile on his face, Teach's heart sank.
Compared to this top-tier master, the gap between them now felt so far.
Hateful! Sooner or later, Teach swore he would become as powerful as them and crush Tom Cat beneath his feet.
[Ding! Blackbeard's negative emotions +66!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host! Blackbeard's negative emotions have exceeded 100 points]
[Rewards are being distributed...]
[Ding! Distribution successful! Ten longevity fruits have been placed in the system space.]
Tom Cat reverted from his Superman cat state.
From the heat vision to the end, Tom used just one move. If he hadn't continued attacking, he could have stayed in that form.
After a hearty banquet, Lynch and the Whitebeard Pirates parted ways.
....
The sea doesn't remember the passing years.
A month later, Lynch's fleet finally entered Big Mom territory, The Totto Land.
From a distance, the banners on the islands were clearly visible.
[Welcome home, my dear daughter Garrett!]
[Welcome the Charlotte family and son-in-law Lynch home!]
[Welcome West Blue Emperor, Lynch, to the tea party.]
It might have been just an illusion, but as soon as Lynch stepped into Big Mom territory, he felt the air was unusually sweet, almost as if the sugar itself was overwhelming.
It was ridiculous.
Fortunately, in this world, people are strong, and there's no such thing as diabetes—otherwise, Big Mom would surely be the first to suffer from it.
Along the way, they passed dozens of islands, most of which were far from ordinary.
On some islands, there were chocolate fountains everywhere, and even the rivers flowed with chocolate
On some islands, pudding-shaped structures were everywhere, and the houses and buildings resembled giant puddings.
Some islands were even more outrageous. Both the houses and the land were made from a mix of biscuits and chocolate. The entire island was edible!
What a sight.
Lynch couldn't even imagine how Big Mom managed to prevent her territory from collapsing under such conditions.
Apart from food, it seemed like everything else was acquired by force.
Suddenly, Lynch smelled the sweet and sour scent of juice. Looking down, he saw that the sea below had turned into juice!
How much must it cost to produce a sea made of juice? Big Mom is truly a wasteful prodigal!
Garrett stood at the bow of the boat, arms open to embrace the sweet sea breeze, a joyful smile on her face.
"Chocolate Island, Pudding Island, Juice Island, Bread Island, Tart Island, Candy Island, Baking Island..."
Garrett named each place they passed with ease. This was her hometown, the place where she had grown up.
Even though her mother wasn't very kind to her, Garrett still loved this place because it was home, with family she cherished.
She felt truly happy to return after so many years.
"How do you feel? Are you happy?" Lynch asked, walking over and gently wrapping his arms around Garrett's waist.
"I'm happy. Thank you, husband~" Garrett replied, planting a kiss on his cheek.
…
Cake Island.
Everyone on the island was busy preparing for the tea party.
This would be the grandest tea party in the past ten years.
It wasn't just because the six kings of the underground world were invited. The real reason was that the most powerful son-in-law in Charlotte family history, West Blue Emperor Lynch, was about to arrive.
Because of this, the Charlotte family had started preparing for the event over a month in advance.
"Well, well, well, let's get moving~ Let's get moving~"
Big Mom was in an unusually good mood, smiling and waving as she directed the workers carrying food.
With more and more food arriving, she could hardly wait to start the tea party.
"Our Cake Island hasn't been this lively in a long time," Katakuri said, feeling a bit nostalgic as he watched the bustling activity.
Except for Katakuri, the other members of the Big Mom Pirates were so busy they could barely keep up.
As a juicer, Smoothie's hands were nearly sore from all the work. Streusen hadn't left the kitchen since the day before yesterday. Perospero was busy making syrup, and Oven, covered in flames, worked as a humanoid baker, churning out huge batches of cookies and cakes.
"Brother Katakuri, should I go greet Sister Garrett?" Raisin asked.
Among Big Mom's children, Garrett had the best relationship with Raisin and had taken care of him since he was a child.
If Katakuri hadn't spoken, Raisin would have already gone to the port to wait for his sister.
"Well, you can go if you want. Your fifth brother, eighth sister, and thirty-fifth sister are already waiting there."
"Okay!"
With Katakuri's permission, Raisin ran off, acting like an excited child.
