Chapter 162 Tea Party Invitation
Chapter 162 Tea Party Invitation
Only after defeating the opponent can one talk normally. Fortunately, Boros also likes this custom, especially when the opponent is not weak.
Compared to those aliens who can't wait to kneel down and beg for mercy when they see him, an "iron-headed kid" like Kaido is more to Boros' taste.
"Emperor's Sword: Broken Blade!"
Without waiting for Boros to finish his words, Charlotte Linlin, who had finally figured out the situation a little, didn't bother to complain about Kaido being unreliable, and swung the flaming sword "Napoleon" at Boros.
Until now, Big Mom still hasn't figured out Boros' identity, but compared to this guy of unknown origin, Kaido, this "old friend", is more trustworthy.
Charlotte Linlin can give souls to objects, activating them into Homies with various abilities to assist her in battle.
Boros subconsciously prepared to take the blow, but his arm suddenly stopped halfway, and his body flashed away, avoiding the sword's attack at the last moment.
As the overlord of the universe, Boros was not born so powerful. His current strength is more due to his own growth.
After coming to the world of pirates, Boros did not just rely on his past achievements, nor did he look down on everything the natives did just because his strength was enough to crush most of the people on this indigenous planet.
Observation Haki, Armament Haki, Conqueror Haki and even Devil Fruit abilities, Boros continues to learn and master the corresponding abilities in the battle with Kaido.
Although Boros's three-color domineering has not yet grown to its peak, it can already come in handy in the battle with Kaido.
Of course, this is mainly because this indigenous planet gave birth to a strong man like Borsalino, otherwise Boros would not want to learn every ability he saw.
The three colors of Haki and Devil Fruit that he was interested in so far are abilities that Borsalino possesses.
"Roar thunder gossip!"
Kaido held the mace in both hands and charged towards Boros, his face, which was already covered with a layer of dragon scales, full of ferocious expression.
The damn one-eyed monster becomes stronger every time we fight. He didn't even know the three colors of domineering when we first met, but now he can use his observation domineering to dodge Lingling's attacks!
Boros tried to use his Observation Haki to sense Kaido's movements again, but unfortunately his Observation Haki was not proficient enough. It was only enough to deal with King and Queen, but when facing a top warrior like Kaido, he would have to take the risk of making mistakes from time to time.
'boom! '
After failing to dodge using his Observation Haki, Boros, who looked a little "thin" compared to Kaido, was hit and flew out like a baseball, crashing into the ruins of the collapsed throne platform.
"Lingling! Use that trick!"
After succeeding in his attack, Kaido roared wildly and called on Charlotte Linlin to attack together. Otherwise, it would not be easy to find such a good opportunity again after the one-eyed monster recovered.
After being beaten for such a long time, Kaido gradually figured out some of Boros' habits. Perhaps in order to enjoy the fun of fighting, Boros will not go all out right away. Only by seizing this opportunity can they have a chance of defeating Boros!
"Are you serious?"
Charlotte Linlin, who was standing by to support the team, was a little bit unbelievable. She admitted that the one-eyed monster was very powerful, but now two pirate emperors were joining forces. Even Whitebeard could not enjoy such treatment, right?
"Cut the nonsense! Hurry up!"
Kaido almost couldn't help but hit Big Mom with a stick. If it had been before he met the One-eyed Monster, he would have fought her on the spot.
If he really couldn't beat her, why would he join forces with her to fight Boros?
"Tsk! Don't come to me if you encounter such an embarrassing situation next time! Take it!"
Charlotte Lingling raised her eyebrows and shouted loudly, but still raised the saber in her hand high.
"Bahai!"
Kaido and Charlotte Linlin stood side by side, raised their weapons and swung them at the ruins of the throne platform at the same time, blasting out a terrifying shock wave that was enough to shatter everything.
This move carries the ambition of the two pirate emperors to dominate the sea, and they vow to kill all enemies that stand in their way!
The unparalleled shock wave penetrated the temple and pierced through the interior of the "Overlord", and was blocked only by the armor layer of the spacecraft.
But even though it was blocked, the severely damaged 'Overlord' still lowered its altitude by several meters again. Fortunately, the space pirates in the control cabin were experienced. If a novice was driving it, it might have plunged into the sea.
"Roar! Hot breath!"
However, Kaido, who had been beaten by Boros countless times and knew very well how terrifying this one-eyed monster was, still had no intention of stopping. His body expanded rapidly on the spot, turning into a hundreds-meter-long green dragon that coiled in the center of the temple, and breathed out a burning breath towards the place where Boros landed.
The blazing dragon flames instantly engulfed most of the temple. Even Charlotte Linlin had to retreat behind Kaido cursing to avoid being affected by the attack of this madman.
The extremely high temperature flames can even melt rocks. Seeing that the area covered by dragon flames has turned into a lava hell, Kaido still did not dare to take it lightly and took another deep breath.
"Bad wind!"
Countless wind blades spewed out from the Azure Dragon's mouth, and with a sharp whistling sound that cut through the air, they slashed towards the ruins of the temple that had turned into a lava hell.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."
The hot lava splashed everywhere, and the solid rock ground was shattered by the wind blades. Even the pillars of the temple were cut by the wind blades and finally broke.
Seeing that the huge temple was beginning to crumble, Charlotte Linlin had to reach out and grab Kaido's dragon horns to stop the violent beast from going crazy.
She also wanted to take this huge spaceship into her possession. If she let Kaido continue to mess with it, even if she got it in the end, it would only be a pile of junk.
"Mom, mom! Don't go crazy, that guy might be dead!"
Charlotte Lingling shouted loudly in annoyance. She admitted that the oppressive feeling brought to her by the one-eyed monster was indeed unprecedented.
However, no matter how powerful the enemy is, even if Whitebeard takes the combined attack of her and Kaido head-on, he will most likely lose half his life.
Not to mention that Kaido was also attacking like crazy, he almost tore the spaceship into pieces.
"What do you know! How could that monster die so easily? Let me go! Lingling!"
Kaido had been traumatized by Boros. He shook off Charlotte Linlin's hand, took a deep breath and was about to exhale again to completely destroy the damn one-eyed monster.
The three dessert generals and the cadres of the Beasts Pirates who ran to the outside of the temple early felt the vibration coming from the temple, and they all felt like they were facing a natural disaster.
The horrifying noise and the heavy feeling of oppression weighing on everyone's heart made everyone recall the most terrifying experience they had ever encountered.
Jhin recalled the scene when his tribe was destroyed, Katakuri recalled how he felt when he first saw his mother suffer from bulimia, and Cracker was trembling in his cookie armor, and no one knew what horrible thing he was thinking about.
The real fighters of the Beasts Pirates were even more silent, this was a fear that came from their body's instinct.
However, as long as you think about the three people fighting in the temple at this time, two pirate emperors and a "monster" who can easily suppress the pirate emperors, this sense of oppression does not seem difficult to understand.
"Who is that person?"
Katakuri suppressed his uneasiness, grabbed Jin's collar and asked loudly.
The Observation Haki that he was proud of, which allowed him to foresee the future, completely lost its effect after seeing Boros.
It's not that he was suppressed by Boros's 'Kill by Observation' which had not yet reached its peak, but that Boros's existence itself produced an effect similar to 'Kill by Observation'.
"...He claims to be Boros, the captain of the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates. We don't know if it's true or not, but considering Boros's personality and strength, there's no need for him to lie to us."
Jin slapped Katakuri's hands away, but considering that the other party would soon become a 'companion', he still answered Katakuri's question.
From the initial vigilance to the subsequent shock, and then to the numbness now, Jhin's attitude towards Boros is constantly changing.
When he first met Boros, he never imagined that the Beasts Pirates and Big Brother Kaido would become someone else's subordinates, and that person was not even satisfied with this and wanted to bring the BIG MOM Pirates under his command as well.
"Did the Beasts really join that man's army? What is your purpose?"
The expression on Katakuri's face was full of disbelief. As the face of the BIG MOM Pirates, he had dealt with the Beasts Pirates many times in the past.
In Katakuri's impression, King has always been an extremely cold guy, and he doesn't care about anyone except Kaido.
But now calling a guy of unknown origin the boss is too ridiculous!
"It won't be long before you do the same... Hey, Katakuri, the power of the beasts plus Big Mom... this power should be able to overturn the world, right?"
Jin sneered. In the past, there were many people in the Beasts Pirates who were dissatisfied with Boss Boros, but now, except for the particularly stubborn one... well, except for the particularly determined big brother Kaido, the rest of them have all accepted their fate.
No matter how you look at it, the BIG MOM Pirates are no exception. King doesn't think Big Mom is much stronger than Big Brother Kaido.
But just when Jhin was about to open his mouth to sneer, he suddenly realized a problem that he had never thought of before.
If Boros can defeat Kaido and Charlotte Linlin at the same time, just like he defeated Kaido, it is possible to bring the two great pirate emperors under his command. With Boros's strength, plus the two pirate emperors' support, and finally the Beasts and Big Mom Pirates as wings, this kind of power is more than enough to challenge the navy and overthrow the world government, right? !
In that case, could the hatred of the Lunaria tribe also be...
"Don't be ridiculous, we are not the Beasts, and my mother is also like Kaido..."
Smoothie on the side retorted very dissatisfiedly, but before she could finish her words, the temple not far away shook violently.
Then, scorching hot wind rushed in from the direction of the temple, as if the group was standing on the crater of an active volcano.
Then, as everyone stared in amazement, the sturdy temple collapsed, and Charlotte Linlin's huge body smashed towards this side like a cannonball, scaring the Beasts Pirates so much that they fled for their lives, fortunately they were not crushed into meat paste.
Before Jin and Katakuri could react, they saw Kaido, who had transformed into a blue dragon, being swung in the air like a whip, and finally smashed heavily to the ground.
'boom! ’
Even though the interior of the spacecraft was made of the hardest materials and had been reinforced countless times, Kaido's dragon body still smashed a huge crack in it.
Such a heavy blow even made Kaido roll his eyes. No matter how strong the defense and recovery ability are, it does not mean that he is immune to damage, especially since Boros has gradually figured out Kaido's limits and no longer needs to hold back like before.
"Brother Kaido!"
Even when he was in deep thought, King's reaction speed was much faster than Katakuri's. He skillfully dodged over to check on Kaido's situation.
Of course, this is mainly because Kaido has been beaten up by Boros too many times, and the pirates of the Beasts Pirates have become accustomed to it over time.
On the other hand, the three sweet generals of the BIG MOM Pirates have not yet recovered from their shock.
Smoothie and Cracker were especially shocked, their jaws almost dislocated.
"mom!"
Fortunately, there is Katakuri. Perhaps because of what King said before, he was more or less mentally prepared.
Although he was so shocked that he couldn't believe his eyes, his body still reacted faster than his brain.
'Da da da……'
Accompanied by a series of footsteps, the real fighters of the Beasts Pirates have already lowered their heads skillfully to welcome the arrival of their boss Boros.
The pirates of the Beasts Pirates have a serious admiration for the strong, otherwise they would not be so loyal to a brutal pirate like Kaido.
Now that we meet Boros, a boss who is stronger than Brother Kaido, it is naturally not difficult to make a choice.
Of course, Kaido still has many fans in the Beasts Pirates, but while they support Kaido, it does not affect their loyalty to Boros. Not many of them dare to abandon Kaido and devote themselves to Boros.
Fortunately, Boros never cared about these things. In his opinion, loyalty was the most useless thing.
The armor worn by Boros, who walked out of the collapsed temple, was already full of cracks, but his body was still intact. It is not difficult to imagine that this battle was at most a warm-up match for Boros.
"This woman is quite capable. She will be the second most powerful fighter of the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates in the future."
Boros was quite satisfied with Charlotte Linlin's strength. Although she was a little weaker than Kaido who had been "trained" by him for a while, she was no less capable of taking a beating.
…………
"Mr. Morgans, we received an invitation to Big Mom's tea party!"
The new intern editor hurried into the editor-in-chief's office with an invitation letter.
There may be people in this world who don't know the BIG MOM Pirates, but they definitely don't exist in the World Economic Newspaper office.
"Tea party? Didn't we just have one last month? Has Big Mom found a satisfactory husband and is ready to get married?"
Morgans, who looks like a large albatross, was selecting the headlines for tomorrow's newspaper. After hearing the report from the intern editor, he subconsciously touched his long beak.
Although Morgans is a genuine human, as the user of the Albatross form of the Bird-Bird Fruit, he has become accustomed to always maintaining animal form. To this day, no one knows what Morgans' true appearance looks like.
Big Mom's tea party is very famous in the New World. In name, it is a party for Charlotte Linling to entertain her friends, but in reality it is just a way for her to collect benefits.
Everyone who receives an invitation to the tea party must prepare a gift for Charlotte Linlin, which can be a valuable treasure, or a devil fruit or a famous sword that can enhance the strength of the BIG MOM Pirates.
But if anyone dared to refuse to attend the tea party, or attended the tea party without preparing a satisfactory gift for Charlotte Lingling.
If you are lucky, Charlotte Linlin will only deprive you of your life as a warning. If you are unlucky, those who receive the invitation letter and their forces will be completely destroyed by the BIG MOM Pirates after the tea party!
Moreover, even if Charlotte Lingling happened to be in a good mood, the life span deprived would be several decades. Those who were deprived of their life span could only live for a few years at most and would still die.
It would be fine if Big Mom's tea party was only held once every few years or once a year, but Charlotte Lingling always holds tea parties at the time she pleases.
She would hold a tea party whenever she got married or her children got married. Sometimes, she would even hold a tea party when she was in a good or bad mood.
For example, it would be fine for a wealthy guest like Big News Morgans, but those countries and organizations that seek refuge with the BIG MOM Pirates, or are unlucky enough to be trapped in their territory by the BIG MOM Pirates, are the ones who are really unlucky.
Every year, many people are killed by the BIG MOM Pirates along with their organizations because they fail to satisfy Charlotte Linlin with the tea party.
"Could it be that Big Mom's children are getting married?"
The intern editor spoke with some curiosity. Compared with those big shots with strange temperaments, Morgans was quite kind to his subordinates. Even an intern who had just become an editor dared to speak freely in front of Morgans.
"It shouldn't be. If it's the wedding of my children, the invitation should have made a special note of it, asking the guests to prepare more generous gifts..."
Morgans cut the cigar, lit it and took a deep puff. He seemed to smell big news, but before that, to be on the safe side, he had to ask Borsalino if he had any information.
Morgans has always had mixed feelings about Borsalino, his partner and shareholder.
On the one hand, Morgans could obtain military support from Borsalino, and also obtain a large amount of intelligence and first-hand news from him;
On the other hand, because Borsalino held shares in the World Economic News, Morgans had to give dividends to Borsalino from all the money he earned. That guy also often interfered with Morgans' reports, making Morgans love and hate him.
Many people who received the tea party invitations had the same doubts as Morgans. Among them were even some organizations that had failed to present gifts that satisfied Charlotte Linling at the last tea party and should have been destroyed.
But when they were almost scared to death by the BIG MOM Pirates who came to their doorstep, in the end, instead of being killed by Charlotte Linlin's children, they also received an invitation to a new tea party.
This was almost impossible in the past.
That is why these people are desperately raising funds, trying to exchange double the gifts for Charlotte Lingling's forgiveness.
However, when they tried to inquire about the news from the person who delivered the invitation letter from the BIG MOM Pirates, they found that the other party was also confused. They only knew that Charlotte Linlin met with Kaido, and then hurried back to the Bankoi with the Beasts Pirates, and sent tea party invitations to all organizations within their sphere of influence.
Such an abnormal situation naturally attracted the attention of the CP organization. Unfortunately, even BIG MOM's children were confused, let alone the spies lurking in Wan Yi.
In the entire BIG MOM Pirates, except for Charlotte Linlin, the only ones who know the inside story are Katakuri, Smoothie, Cracker and Mondor.
Afterwards, there was only one more Perospero, and under the premise that Katakuri took the initiative to block the news, even the elite agents of the CP organization could not find out the real purpose of this tea party.
It stands to reason that there are spies sent by various forces within the Beasts Pirates, but ever since the 'Overlord' and the BIG MOM Pirates' large fleet arrived in Banko, no one has left that huge spaceship.
The agents of the CP organization couldn't even be sure whether Kaido, the King of Beasts, was still there. In desperation, they could only report the intelligence they had collected so far.
As the new admiral of the navy, Borsalino was naturally one of the first people to receive the relevant intelligence.
"Boros is doing a good job, and he's quite efficient..."
After casually flipping through the intelligence submitted by the CP organization, Borsalino sneered and threw it into the pile of read documents.
There is no need for a dignified admiral of the navy to pay attention to such a "small" matter. By the time the Five Elders realize the surprise that Borsalino has prepared for them, it will probably be too late to settle the score with him. In other words, if the Five Elders do not kneel down and beg Borsalino, even if they have backbone, he only needs to lead the navy and wait until the last moment before standing up, and naturally he will get everything he wants.
At this time, the agents of the CP organization were unaware that the intelligence they had sent was intercepted by an unscrupulous naval marshal.
Although the CP organization and the Navy Headquarters are two different teams, Borsalino is not only a Navy Admiral, he also has an old lover who is doing very well in CP0.
It is unrealistic to expect Stussy to help control the CP organization, but there will be no risk in simply delaying the speed of submitting intelligence.
