"Admit your mistake?" Big Mom's eyes widened. "I won't forgive him so easily."
“That’s true. If you dare to offend Mom like that, you might as well die,” Brin said nonchalantly.
"Speaking of which, Brin, has your third eye awakened yet?"
Big Mom casually asked, "If you don't awaken, you're useless. Three eyes would be disgusting to look at."
"What a disgusting monster, Brin."
As she spoke, Big Mom burst into laughter again, completely disregarding her daughter Brin's feelings, while Brin merely gave a slightly resentful look.
"Mom will wake up, really."
"Then do your best, Brin."
"By the way, go tell Cracker and Katakuri to go to Alabasta on the Grand Line."
“Okay, Mom, but my two older brothers seem to be busy with something, so they may not be able to set off for a few days later.”
"It's alright, it's alright, there's no rush to teach that kid a lesson."
Big Mom's eyes lit up with anticipation. "Speaking of which, after that kid's antics, I'm really thinking of hosting a tea party."
"Then let's do it, Mom. It'll be so lively!" Brin said with a smile.
"Yes, it's been a long time since we've had a tea party."
Big Mom made up her mind, "Have the people below start preparing, invite more guests to my tea party, and remember, anyone who dares not to come, make Cracker and the others make an extra trip."
"A tea party, huh? I'm really looking forward to it." Big Mom's eyes lit up slightly.
On almost the same day, news that the Four Emperors' Big Mom was going to hold a tea party spread throughout the New World and even reached the Grand Line.
Because of Li Wei's previous banquet, Big Mom has now declined Li Wei's invitation and is instead preparing to host a tea party on her own, which has caused quite a stir.
PAS: I can hardly believe it myself, I've actually updated six times, written six chapters...
Should we try Chapter 7 again?
It seems a bit late...
Chapter 416 Disaster Strikes Whole Cake Island
People are discussing Big Mom's intentions. Some believe it's a slap in the face to Li Wei, while others think the Four Emperors are too high and mighty to be affected by a newcomer, and it was just a whim.
Regardless of the differing opinions, there are many supporters.
However, that's not the point. The important thing is that... many people or forces have received duplicate invitations. In other words, they now have both banquet invitations from Li Wei and tea party invitations from Big Mom.
Moreover... the times when they hold banquets and tea parties are almost the same. You could say that if you go to Li Wei's banquet, you can't go to Big Mom's tea party, and vice versa.
This has put some people who wanted to please both sides in a bind. Many people are trying to avoid offending either side, since Big Mom has a long-standing reputation, while Li Wei is currently in the limelight, and both are people they cannot afford to provoke.
"What should I do? They've all invited me! Should I go to Big Mom's tea party or the disaster's banquet?"
"Are you stupid? Of course you'll go to Big Mom's tea party. Li Wei offended Big Mom, and it's uncertain whether he'll even live to see the party."
"That makes sense. I'll set off right away. Thank you so much for your suggestion; it helped me understand everything immediately."
"You're welcome. I'm your neighbor, it's only right."
"Old Wang, you're such a good person."
"Boss, shall we go to Big Mom's tea party? That 'natural disaster' thing seems to be on the verge of being removed from the Grand Line, and it's offended both the Navy and the Four Emperors."
"Don't rush, let's wait a few more days and see. It's okay to leave a little later."
"Brother, why didn't you go to the tea party at the Four Emperors' place, but instead went to that banquet?"
"Many people say that Li Wei, the calamity, will be besieged and killed by the Four Emperors and the Navy."
“Little brother, trust your big brother this time. I don’t think that guy named Tianzai Li Wei is a fool.”
"Alright, since you're so determined, I'll die with you."
The entire Grand Line was bustling with activity for a time.
Some people immediately set off for Big Mom's territory. There was no other way, because they were far away, and if they didn't go early, they might be late, which would undoubtedly displease Big Mom.
Some people are observing; they are close by and can wait a few days to see how things develop.
Some people are still frowning, having hoped to please both sides, but now it seems impossible.
Those who received invitations generally fell into the three categories mentioned above. Only a very small number of people set off for Alabasta, a place that people gradually began to call the Island of Calamity.
Just like how Big Mom's territory is called Whole Cake Island, Alabasta under Li Wei's rule is gradually becoming known by that name. Of course, the name "Disaster Island" is only circulating in a small circle and has not yet been accepted by the public.
The next morning——
Big Mom, who was sleeping soundly in her bed, was woken up by a loud noise.
"Who dares to disturb my sleep?!"
Big Mom roared, her eyes red, and grabbed Zeus and Prometheus, storming out of the room in a rage.
Outside Cake Island, a giant human face with a grotesque bird with black stripes grinned menacingly above it, with an inconspicuous little paper figure carrying a basket sitting on its back.
This strange bird has a wingspan of eight meters and a body length of over six meters.
"You guys actually dared to trespass on Whole Cake Island, you really have guts."
Big Mom's children gradually gathered around.
"I'm not here to talk to you lackeys. Get Big Mom out here!"
"You've got guts to yell at your mom like that. But your appearance is quite unique. Mom will definitely be very interested in such a rare creature like you."
The giant bird looked down at him and said, "I am number 38 under Lord Calamity, and now I represent Lord Calamity's authority. I will not tolerate such insolence from you!"
As it spoke, the giant bird No. 38 flapped its wings, and a black hurricane swept outwards. The strong winds caused the surrounding buildings to collapse and many people to be blown away by the wind.
What's even more alarming is that people exposed to these winds develop black spots on their bodies. After these spots appear, they all feel their bodies become much weaker and their physical condition continues to decline.
"What, what is this?!"
"Step back, you are no match for it."
A burly man, dressed in warrior's armor, stepped out.
"Brother Cracker!"
"It's Lord Cracker, one of the Three Sweet Commanders! Great! Let's defeat the invaders quickly!"
"Three Generals? What a prestigious name." The giant bird sneered, "But to be able to withstand my Black Death Wind, I suppose you're wearing an outer layer of armor."
Cracker was startled upon hearing this. His current appearance was actually made of the Biscuit-Biscuit Fruit. He stayed inside this outer garment, and no one outside would know this. Even the Navy's bounty was on his appearance.
I never expected that my true nature would be seen through so quickly after we first met?
At that moment, the giant bird suddenly made an emergency evasive maneuver, and the next second, a thick, black, long, strip-like object lashed out.
"Brother Katakuri!"
"Did you escape?"
Katakuri, also one of the Three Sweet Commanders, is a monster with a bounty exceeding one billion. He has mastered Observation Haki to a high level, reaching the point where he can briefly foresee the future.
He just didn't expect that in the brief foresight of the future, his sneak attack should have hit its mark.
His expression darkened; he realized that the newcomer was no ordinary person.
At that moment, a giant figure burst out of the castle where Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, resided.
"Who is making such a racket so early in the morning?!"
Big Mom shouted angrily.
"……Mother!"
Cracker quickly said, "An intruder is coming. Don't worry, we'll take care of it soon."
"Intruder?"
Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, looked at the giant bird with reddened eyes. Her angry expression suddenly changed. "I've never seen a creature like this before. Be careful, I'm going to make it into my collection!"
"A collectible? A mere Yonko dares to covet the creations of Lord Catastrophe?" the giant bird scoffed.
"Li Wei, the natural disaster?"
Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, shouted, "Where is he? Tell him to come to the New World!"
I'll make him regret it!
"How dare you disrespect Lord Natural Disaster?!"
The giant bird shrieked and flapped its wings, unleashing a black and white storm that swept towards Big Mom.
"it's useless."
Big Mom imbued her hands with Armament Haki, blocking the giant bird's black and white hurricane attack.
"Tsk..."
"Number 38, step down and let me take over."
"Originally, Lord Tianzai specifically assigned me to carry out this operation."
If it weren't for the voices, they would hardly have noticed that there was a small paper figure on the back of the giant bird. After it finished speaking, it jumped off the giant bird. Its frail body looked so weak that they felt a gust of wind could blow it away.
Chapter 417 Soul Calamity
"A talking paper doll!"
Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, once again displayed the same enthusiastic look she has when she sees a rare creature.
"I am number 4 under Lord Natural Disaster. Please take care of me."
As he spoke, the little paper figure's body shattered into pieces, suddenly transforming into a white, burning demon over ten meters tall.
"Oh no, please take this opportunity to carefully consider this minor punishment as a warning from Lord Natural Disaster."
The white-burning demon grinned cruelly: "Die, Four Emperors."
"To die? It seems that not only that 'natural disaster' brat is arrogant, but his men are too."
Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, laughed heartily.
"Zeus, Prometheus!"
Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, holds Zeus in her left hand and Prometheus in her right. This is the reason why, according to legend, she controls lightning in her left hand and the sun's flames in her right, thus being able to control natural disasters.
"Yes, Mom."
"Here I come, Mom."
Zeus and Prometheus, who originally had peaceful faces, became vicious once they came into Big Mom's hands.
"Prometheus!"
Big Mom's left hand held a small sun that spewed a flame at the white burning demon, quickly engulfing it in a sea of fire.
"That's weakness," Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, mocked.
However, after the sea of fire subsided, the white burning demon showed no signs of injury.
"Use fire against me? What a foolish decision."
"Moreover, your Prometheus is not even 437th of Lord Cataclysm's creations," the white-burning demon said disdainfully.
In its view, Creation No. 437, the one also named Prometheus by Lord Calamity, was far superior to this knock-off. However, it could only be Creation No. 437, while it was the No. 4 in the top ten.
"You're quite the talker."
Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, roared: "Zeus!"
"Yes, Mom!"
Zeus the Thundercloud immediately unleashed a barrage of lightning strikes at the white burning demon, but to no avail. The white burning demon's body was composed of unique energy sources that could not harm it.
"These are the Four Emperors? They're unbelievably weak."
The white-burning demon roared, and white smoke rose from its body.
"Soul, return to the land of freedom!"
