Chapter 331: Finding Big Mom

The group entered the castle and found themselves surrounded by a large multitude of angry men.

"leave the small fries to the other. Where are those powerful ones? What were they called?" Zoro asked,

"The All-Stars and the Tobiroppo…" Robin answered.

"We can separate and look for them," Sanji suggested.

"That's fine, but if you find Kaidou or Big Mom, run away," Law advised.

"They are a bit far from here," Nami said.

"Kaidou is above us, and Big Mom is at least a mile away."

"Very good Nami! You are getting better at this." Vivi hugged her girlfriend.

"They are easy to sense…those two." Nami glanced back.

"I'm sure Usopp can also tell this much."

Usopp did not say anything as he trembled in terror.

"See?" Added Nami.

"You guys can split into the groups and search the castle. I'm going to hunt down that whale." Vivi said.

"Wait!" Nami tried to grab her but Vivi got away.

"I'll see you guys soon!"

She heard her friends complain as she left but this was not going to change her mind.

She was the only one who had a good chase against that monster.

Vivi was confident that her friends could take care of the rest.

The one that had her worried the most was Luffy.

Kaidou was definitely the strongest foe they had ever faced.

'If all goes wrong…we may have to…no, don't think about that now.'

Vivi broke several walls so she could move in a straight line and eventually reached a very long corridor.

This area of the castle was mostly empty as the Emperor's forces were all gathered near the entrance

"Halt!" Someone with a very acute voice called for her.

"I guess is not completely empty…" Vivi glanced at the speaker. He was a short man wearing some sort of worn-out leather armor.

Next to him were another ten more people.

And behind them was a giant reinforced wooden door.

"Does that lead outside?" She decided to ask.

"It leads to the west gardens. No one is allowed there." The short man huffed.

"There is a special guest there, so no no…wait a minute, are you part of our crew?, I don't remember having a blue-haired girl here." Another man said.

"What about Miss Ulti? She has blue hair." An older man answered.

"I suppose you are right…are you perhaps related to Miss Ulti?"

"Wait a minute!, wasn't there a blue-haired girl among the intruders?"Someone asked.

"Yes, her name is Vivi and she is very dangerous," Vivi told them,

"Yes, that one!" The man shouted.

There was a moment of silence until someone else spoke.

"Lady, you should be very careful while walking around here. Someone could confuse you with h-...ugg!" The man was knocked out cold.

"What was that?!"

"I didn't see anything!"

The short man stared at her directly.

"It was you, wasn't it?!. You are that Vivi after all!"

"Genius…" Vivi rolled her eyes.

The other nine men were knocked too, leaving the short man alone.

He stared at her in shock.

"I didn't even see her move…I mean…I'm not scared of you!. I am a gifter!" He shouted.

"Oh please no…" Vivi groaned.

"I am Chihuahua man!. I have the strength of a- argh!"

Vivi hurried to knock him out before he could transform into something that would haunt her dreams for years to come.

"Why did I even stop to talk with them?." She gave the door a kick and sent it flying off its hinges.

"Oh?... "She did not expect to see a beautiful garden like this in an island shaped to look like a demonic skull.

It was filled with fruit trees and flower beds everywhere. It was a breathtaking sight.

"I somehow doubt that Kaidou ordered this for himself…"

She felt the aura of Big Mom ahead of her.

"Is fluctuating a lot…. don't tell me that she is throwing a tantrum already."

As she got closer to the center of the garden, the image of the large woman came into view. She was smashing the table in front of her, along with the surrounding ground while two individuals tried to calm her down.

She recognized those two.

One was a big humanoid cat in an elegant suit called Pekoms.

The other was someone she had personally fought before.

The tall beauty with silver hair and a dangerous ability…Smoothie.
