NOVEL NEXT Chapter 190: 190 Tea Party, Six Emperor of the Underworld
"It would be wonderful if my Charlotte family could always be as happy as today," Katakuri thought to himself.
...
"It's here, it's here! My husband is here, that's Cake Island! Mom, brothers, and sisters are all there!"
A large island shaped like a cake appeared in front of them. Garrett, excited, hugged Lynch's waist and shouted joyfully.
Lynch smiled and gently stroked his wife's hair.
As they neared Cake Island, a group of welcoming ladies stood at the port, waving various flags, creating a beautiful scene.
When thirty large ships appeared on the horizon, everyone knew Lynch had arrived. They quickly set off fireworks and firecrackers and raised banners one after another.
[Welcome, Your Majesty, to the tea party. The Charlotte family is here to welcome you!]
[Sister Garrett, brother-in-law Lynch, welcome home!]
[Cake Island, welcome to your arrival~]
When Mark and Iron Punisher on the ship saw this scene, they were somewhat unable to adapt.
"No... this is the legendary and fearsome Big Mom Pirates? It feels so lively," Mark said, amazed.
"I think they're more enthusiastic than the people of West Blue,"
"Hey, Iron Punisher, why aren't you saying anything? I feel too awkward speaking alone," Mark added.
Mark, usually the talkative one, felt a little desperate in the presence of Iron Punisher, who remained silent after being kicked.
During this month at sea, Mark felt like he was losing his mind, stuck with the silent Iron Punisher every day.
He swore that if he could, he'd never work with the Iron Punisher team again!
"Idiot, I know they're as gentle as little white sheep because of our benefactor," Iron Punisher said, his voice serious.
"If it weren't for our benefactor, we wouldn't even be scum by the time we got here."
After saying this, Iron Punisher went silent again.
"Hey, hey, hey, do you think I can't understand? I just didn't think about it like that!" Mark snapped, clearly frustrated.
Mark was about to lose it. This boring mute finally spoke, but only to scold him.
Bang bang bang~
Large ships docked one after another along the shore. Before the ships even fully stopped, Lynch floated down from the air with Garrett in his arms.
"Miss Garrett!"
"Uncle Lynch!"
As soon as they saw them, hundreds of etiquette ladies at the port bowed and saluted in unison, speaking respectfully.
"Sister Garrett~"
"Sister Garrett~"
"Sister, you're back!"
Brule and Pudding rushed out from the crowd and hugged Garrett excitedly. The three women held hands, as if there were a thousand words they wanted to say.
Raisin stood off to the side, his eyes wet with dissatisfaction, as he watched alongside Opera.
"Sister Garrett, how have you been all these years?"
"Very well, my husband spoils me a lot."
"Sister Garrett, your skin looks amazing! It seems even better than before."
"That's thanks to your brother-in-law."
"Ah?"
"Silly girl, you'll understand once you're married."
The three women—Garrett, Brule, and Pudding—had so much to say. They chatted non-stop, growing more excited with every word.
Raisin stood to the side, suddenly feeling out of place with his brother Opera.
He regretted not being a girl so he could join the conversation with his sisters.
Several people went to greet Garrett and didn't talk to Lynch, but it wasn't because they meant to ignore him.
On the contrary, Lynch's presence put so much pressure on them that they were afraid of saying the wrong thing and angering him.
It seemed easier to focus on Garrett to maintain good relations.
Lynch was a powerful figure, on the same level as their mother and Kaido.
Even Opera, the oldest among them, didn't dare act too familiar in front of her brother-in-law.
"You must be my fifth uncle. Garrett has spoken about you," Lynch said.
Opera was flattered by the West Blue King's attention. "Please, Sir West Blue Emperor, just call me Opera."
Lynch chuckled at the timid fifth uncle. "Aren't the generations a bit mixed up here?"
"This..." Opera's throat went dry. Facing the West Blue Emperor made him feel immense pressure.
"Alright, alright, I can call you whatever you want," Opera said nervously.
"Just stop calling me the Emperor of West Blue. Call me by my name," Lynch replied with a smile.
"Okay, it's up to you," Opera said, wiping the sweat from his brow.
Meanwhile, Garrett noticed Raisin standing off to the side and smiled, saying, "Brother, why aren't you saying hello to your brother-in-law?"
"You forgot? Your brother-in-law beat you when you were a kid," Garrett teased.
Raisin's face dropped. "...."
It hurts, sister
After many years apart, it seemed like my caring sister had suddenly become short-tempered. What should I do? I'm anxiously waiting for an answer.
Accompanied by Pudding and the others, Lynch led Garrett inside Cake Island.
Meanwhile, Mark, Iron Punisher, and the others stayed on the ship.
They had restocked supplies along the way, so there was enough food for the 30,000 soldiers on board.
Lynch didn't let them go ashore to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
As the tea party drew closer, the six Underworld Emperors began to arrive at the banquet.
Unlike Lynch, they didn't dare make the Four Emperors wait, so some of them showed up early.
The six Underworld Emperors are:
Emperor of the currency field, also known as the king of loan sharks - Lu Felder
Emperor of entertainment, and the queen of the largest pleasure District - Stussy .
Emperor of the killer Mercenaries - Drug Peclo .
Emperor in the field of intelligence, nicknamed "Big News" Morgans
Emperor in the field of warehousing - Gilbertson
Emperor of ocean transportation, also known as the "Shipping Magnet" Umit
Each of them holds huge power in their respective fields, allowing them to remain strong in the dark world.
For example, Umit, in this environment where Sea Kings are everywhere and the Grand Line is plagued by natural disasters, it is surprisingly able to safely transport goods to the world!
The shipping industry is something that even the World Government is not involved in.
Needless to say, Morgans, the unique Newsbird boy ensures that newspapers can be delivered to the world as soon as possible.
No one can shake his position as the dominant player in the journalism world.
Stussy has successfully recruited beautiful women from all over the world to build Happy Street, and as a top female streamer, she has maintained her position for many years. Her success is no small feat.
Not many good people visit Happy Street.
Without skills or leverage, you can't expect to get anything for free—people will just take it from you.
Together, these six represent nearly the entire underworld outside of the World Government.
Stussy sat on a sugar crystal slide made by Perospero, giggling as she slid over to Big Mom.
She clung to Big Momlike a close friend and asked, "Linlin, how long until Emperor West Blue arrives? I can't wait to see the emperor of West Blue's heroic appearance!"
