Chapter 18

The next day.

New World, Whole Cake Island, Royal Palace.

Whole Cake Island is an island occupied or controlled by a large pirate group, the Big Mom pirate group. The Big Mom pirate group used Whole Cake Island as their main basemap as well as they founded their kingdom here with their leader, Charllote Linlin or often known as Big Mom.

Whole Cake Island is an island that is quite unique because the various areas and places there are made of food ingredients and can be eaten all, even the ocean there is made of syrup which can be drunk to your heart's content. The geography of Whole Cake Island is thanks to the ability of Big Mom's devil fruit that turned the island into what it is today.

"Mamamamama… Hurry up! Bring all the sweets there! It's still not enough!"

Big Mom, who is currently in her palace, is eating her breakfast, which is a variety of sweets or cakes.

Besides Big Mom, there were also several children there such as Charllote Perospero, Charllote Oven, Charllote Craker, Charllote Smoothy, Charllote Snake, and also several other Big Mom children who joined breakfast with a variety of dishes.

The waiters who are in charge of bringing dishes take turns to prepare dishes that will be eaten by Big Mom. Every day, especially for breakfast, Big Mom will usually spend more than 100 kilograms of sweets while for the afternoon even more.

Footsteps were heard walking into the dining room.

"Brother Katakuri" The children from the Big Mom family were immediately excited to see Katakuri's arrival into the room.

This is a natural thing because Katakuri himself is known as the most popular brother among Big Mom's children. In addition, Katakuri is also known as the second strongest person in the Big Mom pirate group.

Katakuri just nodded to them as he walked steadily towards Big Mom who was currently enjoying her breakfast.

"Hey, hey. Katakuri, what do you want to do?" Oven asked with a face full of fear while breaking out in cold sweat.

The same goes for all of Big Mom's children.

There are strict rules in Big Mom's family. The rule is forbidding anyone to interrupt Big Mom's mealtime. The consequences would be very dangerous and could lead to death no matter who it was.

"Mama, I have an important report" Katakuri ignored Oven's words and immediately said while looking at Big Mom.

"Ha?" This voice from Katakuri immediately disturbed Big Mom in the process of eating, Big Mom immediately looked at Katakuri with a murderous look, "Katakuri! Do you know the consequences of interrupting my mealtime?! Even if it's you! I will not hesitate to kill you!"

"I know" Katakuri spoke in a calm tone, "However, right now I have just received an important report from our intelligence force and it must be delivered to you immediately."

"Important report?" Big Mom frowned and felt that the report was not something simple.

Because there was no way Katakuri would interrupt his mealtime if the report was a simple one.

"Say! What important report would you like to deliver?" Big Mom frowned seriously and stopped her eating activities.

"Our Intelligence Force has just seen that the Akagami pirate group has left New World territory and is currently sailing towards Saboundy Island together with Eagle Eyes."

"What?!" This report submitted by Katakuri immediately shocked everyone in there, even Big Mom.

Because for Sea Emperor level pirates like the Akagami pirate group. They would normally never leave the New World because it was just a trivial matter. This is because the Akagami pirate group has territory that they must protect from attacks by other Sea Emperor pirate groups.

"Katakuri, is this information true, Perorin?" Perospero asked with a hard face to believe this.

"That information is correct. Our troops sent the photo to me earlier and it appears that the Akagami pirate group has left the New World and is currently on its way to the Grand Line."

"Mamamamama…" Big Mom who heard the news immediately smiled and laughed full of happiness then looked at Craker and Smoothy, "Craker, Smoothy. My dear kids. You two lead our troops to take over the territory that belongs to the Akagami pirate group. We have to take as many as we can before those two disgusting men take them."

"We got it, Mama." Smoothy and Craker nodded as Cracker's face showed a grin.

"Mama, are we going to investigate Akagami's movements? It's possible that something big might be currently happening or planned by Akagami. There's no way a pirate group like them would make a move to the point of leaving New World territory" Katakuri said seriously.

"As expected of Big Brother Katakuri. He can predict that" Charllote Flampe who became one of Big Mom's children said with enthusiasm and a sweet tone.

"I don't think that needs to be done, perorin" Perospero suddenly said calmly then continued, "Right now the Akagami pirate group is together with Eagle Eyes to sail towards the Grand Line. There was a possibility that they would go to Saboundy Island. They were probably there because they wanted to meet Rayleigh. Some of our people have told us that 10 years ago, Akagami had stopped at Saboundy Island to meet someone. After conducting an investigation, the person Akagami met was his former Vice-Captain, Mei'O Rayleigh. The possibility of leaving the Akagami group there because they wanted to meet Rayleigh and also because of the Eagle Eyes request. Because as we know for ourselves that Eagle Eyes really like to fight against a strong swordsman. It's possible, Eagle Eyes came to meet Akagami in order to bring him together with his former Vice-Captain for a fight since Rayleigh was also a strong swordsman in the past."

"Mamamama… I think so too" Big Mom laughed excitedly then looked at Katakuri, "There's no need to send our troops to investigate the movements made by Akagami. Just focus on sending our troops to take the brow of the territory that belongs to him."

Big Mom's face then grinned full of killing intent. "I wonder how Akagami will react when he finds out that his territory has been taken by us, Mamamamama…"

"I understand, Mama"

Even though Katakuri said so, however, he would definitely investigate this matter. Unlike the other Big Mom kids. Katakuri is someone who can be said to be very good in all aspects. Strength, appearance, and also thought. Katakuri is above all.

If Big Mom dies, the next most suitable leader to lead Whole Cake Island is Katakuri. However, Katakuri's current strength is still quite weak compared to people at the top of the world such as Charlotte Linlin, Kaidou, Edward Newgate, Monkey D. Dragon, Sengoku, Kong, Admiral Akainu, Admiral Aokiji, Admiral Kizaru, Ben Backman, Yasoop, as well as several others.
