Arceus’ Pirate Journey

“Zeraora, how about helping me deliver something? And you can also bring back the chefs Lord Arceus is looking for. You can choose any chef on Whole Cake Island when you get there.”

Saying that, Queen explained what had happened earlier and handed the prepared box to Zeraora.

Zeraora didn’t refuse to deliver the goods on Queen’s behalf, mainly because it gave him the opportunity to fulfill Arceus’ order to find a chef. According to Queen, no chef from the Big Mom Pirates would refuse him.

“I’ll leave it to you. Make sure to ruthlessly rip them off and don’t go easy on them.”

“I’m not good at bargaining, so you should handle that.”

Zeraora wasn’t skilled in activities like extorting, so Queen was left with that responsibility.

“Well then, I’ll take care of it. Remember to describe the expression of that long-tongued freak to me later. Just thinking about it is amusing. Oh, and make sure it’s delivered within a day. Leave as soon as possible.”

“I understand. Let Setsuna know that I’ll be back in a few days.” Saying that, Zeraora propelled himself into the air and left the place. Since he isn’t going to take a ship, he didn’t have to go through Mogura Port. Flying straight from here would do.

He could fly back by himself, but with the chefs in tow, it would take several days.

A few minutes after Zeraora left, Setsuna appeared wearing a new set of clothes.

“Zera…huh? Where is Zeraora?”

“He’s gone to Totto Land to deliver something for me. He’ll be back in about ten days.”

However, after he replied, he sensed that something was off. Setsuna didn’t utter a word; she just stared at him, and her gaze was slightly strange.

That gaze felt familiar, exactly like the way Shayna used to look at him a few years ago. In the end, Setsuna left without a word, but it seemed she was heading to Shayna’s residence. This gave Queen a very uneasy premonition.

His intuition told him that danger was slowly approaching.

Totto Land, Whole Cake Island, Charlotte Linlin’s destruction was still going on.

“Brother Peros! What’s the situation?”

“Beasts Pirates said that they would deliver within a day, and it’s only been half a day. Just hold on a little longer.”

During this time, the chefs of Whole Cake Island had tried countless variations of banana ice cream cake, but none satisfied Charlotte Linlin.

Without the bananas nurtured by Tropius, no recipe could perfectly blend the fruit’s flavors together.

Executive Chef Streusen became extremely anxious due to experimenting with the recipes. Now, he has fainted, resulting in the chaos of the kitchen on Whole Cake Island.

Although Big Mom Pirates had a large number of members, they were of no use when facing the crazy Charlotte Linlin. Especially the Homies, when Charlotte Linlin becomes enraged, they were of no help at all. In fact, it would already be good if they simply didn’t cause more trouble.

Zeus, Prometheus, and Napoleon were all trying to reason with Charlotte Linlin. If they also joined in the destruction, it would be a complete disaster.

Even if it’s just one Charlotte Linlin, she is a nightmare for her own children, and if they showed fear, she might take away their lifespan. Therefore, only a few individuals like Katakuri can barely delay Charlotte Linlin’s destruction and reduce the casualties caused by her.

It had been a day since Perospero’s phone call, and many areas of Whole Cake Island had already suffered devastating blows.

“Big Brother Katakuri, something is coming from the sky!!”

The people around noticed a yellow lightning bolt in the sky accompanied by thunderous rumbles. Moreover, that lightning bolt was heading straight towards Whole Cake Island.

“At a time like this… Could it be the person from Beasts Pirates?” Katakuri’s Observation Haki hadn’t reached the level of foreseeing the future, so he had no idea what would happen later.

Despite claiming to stop Charlotte Linlin, they were no match for the crazy Charlotte Linlin. At best, they could only interfere from a distance.

If they were to shift Charlotte Linlin’s anger towards themselves, none of them would be able to withstand it. That’s why Katakuri could still divert his attention to other directions.

As the lightning bolt landed, it revealed its true form.

“That guy, Thunderclap Zeraora, is from the Beasts Pirates! Excellent! They finally arrived!”

“Where are the goods? Did he bring them?”

Several chefs dressed in chef uniforms hurriedly approached, grabbing the bananas carried by Zeraora and rushing towards the kitchen. Most of the ingredients were already prepared, they were only lacking these final bananas.

Zeraora looked around at the devastated nation; it was completely different from when he participated in the Tea Party. Not even a trace of it could be seen.

“You are finally here.”

They didn’t know where Zeraora had rushed from. Beasts Pirates’ headquarters in Wano Country remained essentially a secret that only a select few from the World Government were aware of.

Although it was already quick for Zeraora to arrive in just one day, it was torturous for the members of the Big Mom Pirates.

Only those who directly faced the monster known as Big Mom could truly understand her terror. Even if her primary target wasn’t them, the tension never left their bodies.

Now, the life-saving bananas had arrived, and they could finally relax a bit.

Working overtime, the specially made banana ice cream cake was finally completed.

“Mama! The cake is here!” Katakuri shouted loudly next to the cake cart, then quickly moved aside, leaving only the cake within Charlotte Linlin’s field of vision.

“Cake. Give me the banana ice cream cake!”

Charlotte Linlin, whose figure hasn’t started to lose shape yet, sat on the ground without caring about her image and began devouring the cake.

Her children all showed relieved expressions at this sight. The crisis was finally averted.

However, for Perospero, his troubles were not over yet, as Zeraora handed him a Den Den Mushi.

“What’s this?”

“Lend me a few dessert chefs. We have a birthday party coming up, and Queen is going to talk with you, he wants to discuss other terms with you.”

To prevent Perospero from creating problems while borrowing chefs, Zeraora was specifically instructed to demand this face-to-face, while Queen would handle discussions about other conditions.

Zeraora didn’t know what they discussed exactly, but judging by Perospero’s expression, it must have been something outrageous.

Katakuri took charge and lent Zeraora the pastry chefs. Whole Cake Island had a huge army of chefs, so lending a few people was nothing at all.

To express gratitude for Zeraora’s timely arrival, Streusen offered to personally assist in designing the cakes.
