Chapter 165 Katakuri's Request! Family!

"Thank you for your kindness. If possible, please forgive my ignorant brothers and sisters. They just cannot understand your greatness for the time being. I can guarantee you with my life that every one of them is willing to die for Lord Boros!"

Katakuri quickly adjusted his posture, knelt deeply on the ground with his knees, and facing Charlotte Linlin's almost cannibalistic gaze, he prayed to Boros in the most humble tone.

Even though he knew that if he said this he would be an unforgivable betrayer in front of his mother, Katakuri still did not hesitate at all.

The consequences of angering his mother were indeed terrible, but compared to being unable to protect his younger siblings, he would rather bear his mother's resentment alone.

“Hahahaha! What a shame, you old woman! Even your son has gone to rely on someone else!”

Kaido laughed and cursed loudly with glee, BIG MOM had boasted to him many times in the past. Kaido refused to admit defeat, but in his heart he was still envious of the old woman for having a good son.

After all, compared with Katakuri, Yamato's level of abstraction is so high that even Kaido can't stand it.

Sometimes Kaido would fall into self-doubt, wondering what the hell he had given birth to.
But Kaido couldn't laugh anymore because he suddenly remembered that Katakuri only joined the One-eyed Monster after the dead old woman was defeated, while Yamato wanted to help the One-eyed Monster deal with him from the very beginning.

"Katakuri!!!"

Charlotte Linlin stared at Katakuri with bloodshot eyes.

If BIG MOM had not tried many times without success, she would definitely kill Katakuri at the first opportunity, even though he was her good son whom she was once proud of!

However, Katakuri, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't even look in the direction of Charlotte Linlin. In his mind, nothing was more important than saving the lives of his younger brothers and sisters.

Even though his mother would hate him for this, or even his life might be in danger, Katakuri couldn't care less.

"…You can decide on your own about this matter."

Boros said nonchalantly, he didn't even know that anyone from the BIG MOM Pirates had tried to resist.

The situation that can attract Boros' attention must be at least at the level of high-level fighters. Even if the current BIG MOM Pirates are included, the number of high-level fighters under Boros still does not reach double digits.

After all, the only criterion Boros uses to evaluate the value of his subordinates is combat effectiveness. Those with slightly weaker strength like Perospero can only be ranked as mid-level fighters.

Fortunately, thanks to his status as BIG MOM's eldest son and his past prestige, he has not fallen to the point where no one listens to what he says.

"I obey your orders! Thank you for your kindness!"

Katakuri also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had already judged from Boros' words and actions so far that he would not care about such a trivial matter, before getting Boros's permission, even Katakuri had to imprison those ignorant brothers and sisters.

I have to say that compared to his cruel mother, Lord Boros, who claims to be the overlord of the universe, is obviously much easier to serve.

"Chuckle, chuckle, chuckle..."

Charlotte Linlin stared at the traitor Katakuri, and her guillotine-like teeth made a creepy friction sound, as if she wanted to bite Katakuri into pieces and grind him into minced meat.

However, Charlotte Linlin did not take action until the end. Even when Katakuri bowed to her, the hatred in Charlotte Linlin's eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

She would not think about why Katakuri betrayed her, nor would she reflect on why all her children betrayed her so easily.

For Charlotte Lingling, her children are tools to realize her ambitions, and tools that dare to betray their masters deserve to die! "

"Hiccup, hahaha! You're really ugly, you old woman... Hey! Little Katakuri, why don't you come and be my son!"

Kaido, who was enjoying the fun, took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, wishing the old woman would go crazy and start fighting with the One-eyed monster.

If the old woman is willing to risk her life, he will accompany her to the end and try again to see if there is any possibility of driving away the one-eyed monster. Otherwise, he can choose to watch the show from the side.

It just so happened that he had disliked the old woman for a long time. He just cheated her once, and she kept nagging and making so many annoyances. He deserved to be severely beaten up by the one-eyed monster!
"When he gets stronger, I will make him a top-level combatant."

Boros glanced at Kaido, and for Borsalino's sake, he didn't mind honoring Katakuri.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Katakuri's strength can reach a level close to Kaido's, at least he must be able to protect himself in front of Kaido and Charlotte Linlin.

"Are you kidding me? This kid is worthy of being on equal footing with me?!"

Now it was Kaido's turn to be unable to sit still. He had clearly resisted the identity of the top fighter before, but now he was the first one to jump out and oppose Boros' decision.

Being forced to be a younger brother of the One-eyed Monster is bad enough, but in the future I have to be on equal footing with Katakuri. This guy is the son of a dead old woman. How can I save my face if this gets out!

"Mom, mom, Kaido, you are only on the same level as my son. Otherwise, I will marry my daughter to you and you can be my son-in-law!"

Now it was Charlotte Linlin's turn to laugh at Kaido. She was already mad enough after being tricked by Kaido, but Kaido still had the nerve to complain that she wasn't fighting hard enough.

If Boros wasn't there to put pressure on her, Charlotte Linlin would definitely let Kaido see how desperate she was!
"Shut up, old woman!"

Kaido was so angry that he was fuming. To others, this might be an exaggerated adjective, but Kaido really did have a few sparks coming out of his nose.

Even after being forced to become Boros's subordinate, he did not become so angry. After all, in a sense, what Boros did was not much different from what Kaido did normally, except that this time the victim became Kaido himself.

But now Boros actually wants to make the dead old woman's son equal to him. Even if there is a prerequisite of waiting for Katakuri to become stronger, Kaido can't sit still.

"If you have the guts, just come and make me shut up!"

Charlotte Linlin opened her terrifying mouth and didn't care about Kaido's threat at all.

After joining forces several times but were easily suppressed by Boros, even though they still refused to admit it, the two pirate emperors gradually realized a cruel reality.

It is impossible for them to escape Boros' control on their own, and with Whitebeard dead and Red Hair crippled, the pirates have no one they can rely on.

In this situation, unless Boros takes the initiative to lead them to attack the Navy Headquarters and force that "Navy Monster" to take action, and they take the opportunity to defect, otherwise there will be no good results waiting for them.

Since there is no hope of resistance, the only thing he can do now is to find trouble with the bastard who has cheated him. For Kaido, this means preventing the guy he has cheated from settling the score with him.

The two pirate emperors gnashed their teeth and glared at each other. Their terrifying domineering aura collided violently in mid-air, erupting with countless black lightning.

However, both Kaido and Charlotte Linlin tacitly limited the range of their Conqueror's Haki to a small area around the two of them, and even took the initiative to avoid the foundation of the throne under Boros' feet, trying their best to avoid luring Boros off the field.

But even so, the Homies in the cake castle were still trembling with fear, lying on the ground without even the courage to escape.

At the same time, Katakuri, who had just walked out of the cake castle, was immediately surrounded by a group of younger brothers and sisters, who were nervously checking whether Katakuri was injured.

Even after helping Boros put his mother under house arrest, the pirates of the Charlotte family were still terrified of their mother.

Except for Katakuri, no one dared to appear in front of Charlotte Linlin.

"Katakuri-san, are you okay?"

"Mom didn't make things difficult for you, did she?"

"What did Lord Boros say?"

……

Charlotte Linlin's children surrounded Katakuri and kept asking questions. Although BIG MOM has always been the person they fear the most, her existence is also the children's greatest confidence.

Now not only has Mom been defeated by outsiders, they have even placed Mom under house arrest at the instigation of Katakuri's brother. If Mom were to break free from her restraints, everyone present would be in big trouble.

Especially for Katakuri, who took the lead in launching the "rebellion", it would be difficult for him to die at that time.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Lord Boros is willing to give others a chance. I'll let them out now..."

Katakuri tried hard to comfort his anxious brothers and sisters. Even his mother and Kaido combined were no match for Boros. Even if the BIG MOM Pirates joined together, they would not be able to resist Boros.

Under this premise, Katakuri would naturally not let his brothers and sisters die in vain. He would not hesitate even if he had to bear the stigma of a traitor for this.

What's more, the arrival of Boros also made Katakuri see another possibility. Compared with his increasingly cruel mother, Boros at least would not kill people at will because of his momentary likes and dislikes.

Even when Charlotte Linling's bulimia broke out, Boros would personally suppress it to prevent Charlotte Linling from wreaking havoc.

In comparison, it is no wonder that Katakuri surrendered so decisively, even more obedient than the cadres of the Beasts Pirates.

"That's good...but is mom okay?"

Smoothie also breathed a sigh of relief, but after looking in the direction of the cake castle, she couldn't help but ask hesitantly.

Although she is a member of the Four Sweet Generals like Katakuri, Smoothie's personality is somewhat weak compared to her brother Katakuri.

"Don't worry, mom will be the top fighter of the Cosmic...Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates in the future, second only to Lord Boros, so she'll be fine."

Katakuri was a little stuck when he said this, mainly because he was not used to his new identity. Fortunately, he managed to remember it in the end and did not embarrass himself in front of his brothers and sisters. "But if that happens, mom will settle the score with us later, right?"

A younger sister spoke uneasily, saying that for these Big Mom's children who had never even left the country, there was nothing more terrifying in the world than their mother being angry.

Even the older ones couldn't help but feel afraid, and the atmosphere became a little depressing for a while.

"Don't worry, Lord Boros won't let mom do anything rash, and I'm here for you!"

Katakuri took the initiative to comfort them. His voice was firm, and coupled with his usual reliable image and strong strength, he immediately gave many of the anxious brothers and sisters a backbone.

"Then let's quickly release Brother Snag and the others. Everyone is so worried about them..."

The little sister who took the initiative to propose it spoke in a lower and lower voice, and it was obvious that she had realized how much her proposal would ruin the atmosphere.

Katakuri-san had clearly told everyone to trust him, but her suggestion seemed like she didn't trust Katakuri-san.

"Idiot! Brother Snag almost killed us..."

The older sister patted the younger sister on the head and started to scold her with a hint of anger.

If the Big Mom Pirates had really followed Snag and tried to fight against Boros-sama to rescue their mother, many people would probably have died by now.

Boros himself didn't even need to take action. The Beasts Pirates that came with him alone were enough to cause heavy casualties to the BIG MOM Pirates, whose morale was in chaos.

Even the brothers who usually had the best relationship with Snag fell into silence at this time, not knowing what to say to explain for Snag.

"Don't say that, Snag is just trying to rescue mom... We are family no matter what!"

Katakuri stopped his brothers and sisters who wanted to condemn Snag. Katakuri thought that what Snag did was actually a good thing.

With the comparison between him and Snag, even if Mom successfully escapes, she won't vent her anger on too many people.

Of course, this is just a fallback plan that Katakuri specially prepared in case of emergency. With the strength that Lord Boros has shown so far, Katakuri doesn't think his mother has any room to resist.

"You are worthy of being Katakuri-nii! I love Katakuri-nii the most!"

Flampe, wearing a spotted halter dress, stared at Katakuri with shining eyes, and she almost pounced on Katakuri and hugged him and started acting coquettishly.

Unfortunately, Katakuri just glanced at Flampe and subconsciously lifted his scarf to prevent his fangs from being seen by his adoring brothers and sisters.

Even though he knows exactly how these brothers and sisters who now adore him will react after seeing his face, this does not affect Katakuri's efforts to maintain his identity as a perfect brother.

Under the leadership of Katakuri, they soon arrived at the prison where Snag and several other brothers and sisters were imprisoned. Perospero, the eldest brother, was guarding the prison personally to prevent any confused brothers and sisters from running over to rescue them without permission.

If something like this happens, it would be too unfair if Lord Boros starts to doubt the loyalty of the BIG MOM Pirates.

"Katakuri? Why are you here? Is there something wrong with mom?"

Perospero was also shocked to see so many brothers and sisters running towards him like a swarm of bees.

Fortunately, he soon saw Katakuri and Smoothie leading the group, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

But Perospero immediately thought of another possibility, and asked with a trembling voice.

"No, don't worry. We have obtained the permission of Lord Boros. Snag and the others can regain their freedom."

Katakuri immediately guessed what Perospero was worried about and told Boros his decision very straightforwardly.

Hearing this, Perospero finally breathed a sigh of relief. A smile appeared on his face, which had not smiled since his mother was defeated. He picked up the candy cane and licked it hard.

"Thanks to Lord Boros's kindness, this outcome couldn't be better!"

Perospero is also quite adaptable to his current identity. Although he is Charlotte Linlin's eldest son, no one would have thought, before or now, that he would be the second in command of the BIG MOM Pirates.

Now he has just changed from the butler of the BIG MOM Pirates to a middle-level cadre of the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates.

However, with his special status as Charlotte Linlin's eldest son, and the fact that Lord Boros seems to admire Katakuri very much, Perospero feels that the future is still promising.

"I'll go release Snug and the others."

Smoothie had already gotten the key and walked into the prison, and soon came out with a dejected Snag.

Snag, who had been in jail for several days, had calmed down and realized that his actions had almost killed his other brothers and sisters.

Especially those younger brothers who believed in him and were willing to join in the fight. If Katakuri had not subdued them in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"I'm so sorry, Katakuri-nii..."

The tall and fat Snag walked up to Katakuri with his head lowered and spoke in a very ashamed tone.

"We're family! No need to apologize, Snuggle!"

Katakuri patted Snag's shoulder, not caring at all that Snag had once treated him as a traitor.

"Katakuri, have all the guests for the tea party arrived?"

Seeing Katakuri and Snag reconciling, Perospero licked his candy cane happily, and then asked with some curiosity.

This tea party will announce the merger of the two great pirate groups. As a member of the merged Cosmic Dark Matter Pirate Group, Perospero has begun to look forward to the emergence of a true master of this sea.

"Well, now only the giants of the underground world have not arrived yet, but if nothing unexpected happens, they will show up within the next two days."

Katakuri nodded, but what he didn't know was that just when he came to release Snag, the giants of the underworld he mentioned had already arrived at Cake Island.

The world's largest entertainment city, the owner of Gulan Tesoro, the man who is rumored to control 20% of the world's berries, the world's richest man, Gilder Tesoro!

Stussy, the Queen of Happy Street, controls all the red-light district businesses on the sea through direct and indirect means!

The editor-in-chief of World Economic News, the big news Morgans who keeps countless news birds!

The three giants of the underworld came together obviously after making an appointment. Although they are not affiliated with BIG MOM, even the giants of the underworld would have some reservations when facing Charlotte Linlin.

"Ha ha ha, big news, big news...big news that we are really looking forward to!"

Morganus hummed a tuneless tune and walked with exaggerated steps, looking left and right all the time. He couldn't wait to know what the big news that Borsalino mentioned was.

"It's so noisy! You sing so badly..."

Tezoro spoke in a very unpleasant tone while holding a cigar in his mouth. For Tezoro, who was a part-time top singer, listening to Morgans' off-tune songs was simply a torture.

"Ha ha ha, is it really that bad? I am very confident in my singing voice~"

Morgans said narcissistically, stroking his long beak. Unfortunately, neither Tezoro nor Stussy could appreciate its "singing".

"It's really terrible, Morgans. If I had your voice, I'd probably scare away all the customers as soon as I opened my mouth."

Stussy, holding her handbag, spoke softly and ladylikely, saying that the three of them were not only giants in the underworld, but more importantly, they all had close ties with Borsalino and had some friendship with him in private.

Otherwise, with Stussy's smooth-talking style, he would never say bad things about Morgans in front of him.

"It's really sad that you say that, Stussy. You have a special relationship with that person, so you should know what Big Mom's tea party is about earlier than us, right?"

Morgans stared at Stussy with intense eyes, and almost took out a small notebook to take notes.

Now even Tesoro looked over subconsciously. He was not planning to attend the tea party. Even Big Mom couldn't do anything to him, the king of a member country recognized by the World Government.

Unfortunately, that guy Borsalino brought a bunch of high-ranking naval officers to Gulan Tesoro for vacation. Although Tesoro was not afraid of the navy, he still felt a little nervous seeing so many high-ranking naval officers gathered together.

Just in time, the BIG MOM Pirates sent an invitation to a tea party, and Tesoro, who had never been very interested in tea parties in the past, decided to join in the fun.

"It's a pity. Borsalino hasn't come to see me for a long time, and when Lingling sent me the invitation, she didn't tell me what she was going to do."

Stussy does not shy away from the special relationship between her and Borsalino. In fact, it is no secret on the sea, otherwise Stussy's red-light district business would not be able to cover all sea areas.

The World Government, which still doesn't know that Stussi has been turned by Borsalino, is also encouraging Stussi to have more contact with Borsalino, as who knows when this special relationship may come in handy.
