"Didn't I tell you? Run!"

Chopper, hanging upside down in mid-air, looked at his sister who was trying to save him and shouted with a complicated expression.

"What are you two doing? Come on!"

Dad called out.

“Dad!” George called out.

"Please go and save Mr. Reindeer! Isn't my dad very powerful?"

Faced with his daughters' cries of anguish, the father hesitated for a moment, but then decided to rush over. (Wang Qianhaolin)

However, he didn't pull Chopper, but instead pulled his two daughters.

"What? Father! Stop!"

However, she was no match for an adult, and in the end, Dizzy let go of Chopper. She then hugged her father, preventing Rosa from helping Chopper.

"Father! What are you doing? That man saved Daisy's life! Let go!"

Rosa struggled and shouted. Without a word, her father slapped her.

"Dad...you are more important to me than anything else."

"Useless! Dad is a useless piece of trash! That's why Rick left you and ran away from home!"

Rosa covered her face with her hands and spoke mercilessly to her father.

Chapter 269: Bringing the Dead Back to Life!

"Sigh... I guess I'm just useless."

The father abandoned his paternal authority and spoke in a cowardly tone.

"He's more than just a good-for-nothing! He's a complete liar! Mom... Rick and I both know the cause of Mom's death! We can only watch from afar!"

"No way!"

"Mom, that monster..."

However, considering that her sister was still with her, Rosa didn't say much.

"Rosa..."

"The reason Rick ran away from home is not because he is a coward! It's because you are a big liar! Shan left because you are not trustworthy."

Rosa vented her anger on her father, crying and shouting.

"Hehehe! Continue!" Baron Carnival was overjoyed. "I love seeing the pirates tear each other apart! Watching you all get eaten by Lily one by one, that's my favorite thing! Huh? Continue! Keep making noise! ​​Then I'll feed you to Lily."

"Wild Baron! Don't be so smug! My 683 crew will find me! I'll beat you to a pulp!"

Chopper shouted, hanging upside down in mid-air.

"Well, no matter how long you wait, your companions won't show up."

The Baron of Revelry sneered.

"Bullshit! He'll definitely come!"

“He’s not talking nonsense, he definitely won’t come.”

"Definitely! I trust you!"

“I told you, I wouldn’t come.”

“Definitely…” George nodded.

"What else is there to say? He said he wasn't coming! You bastard!"

Finally, Baron Carnival erupted.

Chopper was pulled higher and higher by the threads, and suddenly, he saw an incredible sight: Lily's carnations.

"what!!!"

From Mount Lilith came desperate screams.

Nami.

(ccaf) "Sanji".

Usopp.

Robin!

Then came Zorro. On the broken surface of the Lily Carnation lay countless black holes; everyone had been buried alive. At that moment, the monstrous flower was devouring its companions, digesting their energy—this was its true food.

“Everyone…Everyone…”

"Kid, next!"

The father and daughter of the Butler Pirate Crew were dumbfounded. Lily's carnation-like silk gradually enveloped Chopper's body, pulling him towards the severed opening. The black hole, like a toothless mouth, wriggled and devoured its prey.

"Partner, partner, this, that, that...partner, partner...then let's all become Lily's food!"

On the shoulder of the Revelry Baron, a talking flower suddenly revealed a big smile, as if it were swallowing something.

good to eat!

"There's actually a monster like this on this island, Lily Carnation?"

After hearing Brief's account, Luffy couldn't help but gasp.

"The Baron does not rule this island, but rather that monster flower, named Lily Carnation."

Brief drank her goat's milk. Rick listened from the corner of the room.

"Carnival Island was originally a place where everyone came to play. Aren't the ruins of this city still deep in the forest? But there, this monster flower is called Lily Carnation. I'm just guessing. Then, Lily Carnation covered the entire island, eating up the island's inhabitants one by one, and in the end, everyone was eaten by it."

"Then we won't have anything to eat?"

No one wants to become food for a monster.

"No matter how powerful the Monster Flower is, it can't cross the sea, let alone go to other islands. But Lily Carnation is a spirit. In order to obtain food, she made a contract with a pirate who came to this island."

"The Reveler Baron?"

"Yes! He uses a red bow and arrow, and is a renowned archer on the Grand Line. He is the leader of the Red Arrow Pirates."

Brief showed Luffy a wanted poster from the Red Arrows Pirates. The date on the poster was 25 years ago.

"There isn't a single leaf on each person's head..."

The wanted posters didn't feature Muchigoro or the frog mascot with leaves on their heads. Furthermore, the Carnival Baron was much younger than she is now, a dashing pirate captain. She didn't have a single flower on her shoulder.

"That's something from over twenty years ago, left behind by Grodo Roger before he died. When I first became a pirate, I heard that the Red Arrow Pirates encountered a typhoon and everyone disappeared."

"What?"

“That’s right. Don’t you think the Baron was the only one who survived the typhoon? Lily Carnation gained sentience. Instead of eating the Baron, she let him live and promised to revive his companions. But in exchange, she needed to keep summoning more food.”

"Wait! What did you just say? Rebirth?"

Luffy's neck suddenly stretched out.

"The meaning of lily carnation is death and rebirth."

"?"

"All the leaf people on the island survive thanks to Lily Carnations."

Brief said that the people on the island who were covered in leaves must have died long ago.

"Resurrection from the dead?!"

This is unacceptable to Luffy.

Chapter 270: The Doll!

“That’s right. The leaves covering people’s bodies are actually dolls of lily carnations. In other words, these people are his slaves. The tissues inside their bodies, like the Baron’s bow and arrows, are woven from lily carnation threads.”

"You should have seen that imposter, right?"

"Lick interjected. At that time, he must have been keeping an eye on what was happening in the restaurant outside."

Luffy recalled what Baron Carnival had said when he defeated the imposter: "He's just a soulless puppet." Doesn't that mean they were made from Lily Carnation's corpse?

The Lily Carnations were made from corpses, covered in leaves, and at that moment, human memories still lingered within their bodies… The Red Arrow Pirates once prided themselves on their strong willpower, but under the allure of the Lily Carnations, Baron Reveler, having lost his companions, finally succumbed.

In order to resurrect the members of the Red Arrow Pirates, the Baron, as agreed, lured all the pirates to the island and then sacrificed them.

Brief witnessed firsthand how the members of the Red Sword Pirates were drained into shriveled corpses, only to be eaten by the Lily Carnation Pirates, after which they would be resurrected as usual.

Who is that reveler?

"From that moment on, he was no longer a pirate, but a reveler. Although he knew it was just a false shell, a false soul, his memories and those of his men, his memories, his ships, sailed the Great Voyage like his companions, gathering them here for Lily Carnation's dinner."
