"Brother Roja, do you really need this invitation? Should we send it to you?"

Robin's voice came through the Den Den Mushi, sounding a bit eager.

"No need," Roja replied without hesitation. "I'll come there myself."

Hearing this, Robin's voice instantly brightened. "Really? Brother Roja, are you coming here in person?"

"Of course. It's been a while since I last saw you," Roja said with a chuckle.

As his words trailed off, a spectral clone materialized beside him, identical in appearance. The real Roja activated his talisman and shot into the sky, leaving his doppelgänger behind to maintain appearances.

Although traveling great distances consumed stamina, using his phantom clone to conceal his absence eased the burden.

Harnessing the full power of his abilities, Roja soared through the skies, finally reaching O'Hara by nightfall. Cloaked in shadows and aided by his Devil Fruit, Roja donned a cape to further disguise himself.

Robin and Olvia had already been informed of his arrival and were waiting at the shore to greet him.

"Brother Roja! Robin missed you so much!"

Unable to hold back her excitement, Robin sprinted toward Roja, throwing herself into his arms. Roja caught her gently, smiling as he turned his attention to Olvia, who stood nearby.

Olvia handed over the invitation letter she had prepared. With one hand still around Robin, Roja accepted it with a nod.

Crouching down to Robin's level, Roja asked, "Robin, have you been practicing your Devil Fruit abilities?"

Robin beamed and nodded vigorously. "I feel like I'm close to awakening my powers!"

"Really?" Roja blinked in surprise, leaning in slightly.

"Of course! I would never lie to you, Brother Roja," Robin said confidently.

To prove her point, Robin stepped back, crossed her arms over her chest, and let her aura flare.

"Colorful Bloom—Gigantic Tree Palms!"

In an instant, massive hands sprouted from the ground, forming a colossal palm that slammed into the sea with a thunderous crash. The impact created towering waves, the sound reverberating through the night.

Watching this display, Roja's expression softened with pride. Robin truly was a genius.

Her circumstances were far different from the original timeline. With Roja's influence and Olvia by her side, Robin had been able to focus her efforts entirely on mastering her powers instead of simply surviving.

As a result, her strength now rivaled the abilities she would have achieved two years later in the original story.

"Keep it up, Robin," Roja encouraged warmly.

"I will, Brother Roja! I'll work even harder!" Robin replied with determination.

After some more conversation with Robin and Olvia, Roja summoned Noah's Ark and set sail for Totto Land.

Totto Land – Cake Island

Smoothie had just returned and immediately reported to Big Mom.

"Mama, the invitation has been delivered, but I didn't see the target. Instead, there was another cloaked figure who seemed larger than described."

Big Mom grinned her signature wide grin. "Maa-ma-ma-ma! That's good! It shows they're well-organized. If we can win him over, our dream of a unified Totto Land will be even closer!"

"Understood, Mama," Smoothie replied with a bow.

"However," Big Mom's tone turned sharp, "tighten security at the tea party. Especially keep an eye out for any Navy rats. If any are discovered, execute them immediately!"

"Yes, Mama!"

The world's attention was fixed on Cake Island. It was the first time Big Mom had hosted such a massive event, and the tension among pirates and underworld figures was palpable.

Big Mom had summoned all her children back to ensure nothing disrupted the tea party.

As night fell, Roja approached Cake Island in his disguise. Utilizing the power of the Phantom Phantom Fruit, he transformed his appearance into that of an arrogant, rotund arms dealer, complete with a protruding belly and a loud personality.

The moment Roja stepped onto the island, he was confronted by none other than Katakuri, one of the Three Sweet Commanders.

"Present your invitation," Katakuri demanded with his usual stoicism.

Roja scowled, feigning offense. "What is this nonsense? I was invited by Big Mom herself, and this is how you treat me? Do you even know who I am? I'm Howard Ace, the greatest arms tycoon in the New World!"

"I've never heard of you," Katakuri replied flatly. "Show me your invitation, or I'll kill you where you stand."

At this moment, Stussy, the Queen of the Pleasure District and a CP0 operative, sauntered gracefully into view.

"Howard Ace, must you always cause such a scene? Just hand over the invitation and save us all some trouble," she said with a sly smile, producing her own invitation for Katakuri to verify.

After inspecting Stussy's invitation, Katakuri bowed slightly. "Welcome, Ms. Stussy."

Roja, still in his guise, snorted. "A mere guard dog dares to talk back to me? Here! Read this carefully—Howard Ace's name is on it!"

With an exaggerated motion, Roja tossed his invitation at Katakuri, who caught it effortlessly.

The surrounding underworld figures murmured among themselves, watching the exchange with interest.

Though they had never heard of "Howard Ace," his connection to Stussy and his blatant arrogance suggested he was a powerful figure, perhaps even above their ranks.

Katakuri himself felt the same. Anyone this bold, especially while associating with Stussy, was likely a significant player in the underworld.

Suppressing his irritation, Katakuri handed back the invitation and said respectfully, "Howard Ace, welcome to the tea party."
