Chapter 125: Heading in Opposite Directions

"Brulee, who is that?" The phone snail with a green mask covering the upper half of his face and a long tongue in his mouth froze with a surprised expression, as if even he couldn't believe his left-hand man would ask such a question.

"It's... the Devil Fruit user who's in charge of Whole Cake Island,"

"Very sorry,"

The golden-haired, silver-eyed youth, Rosinante, apologized earnestly to the snail in his hand.

"I've never been good at remembering the names of trash."

"Hehehehe."

"Don't worry about it, Rosinante,"

"As my right-hand man, you've been doing exceptionally well. These are just minor flaws, and I forgive you."

The snail with the phone-shaped mouth and a long tongue wagging around moved its tongue as if it were mimicking the expression of the person on the other end of the call: seven parts pride, three parts teasing.

"Alright, enough with the small talk."

The snail's expression turned serious.

"Even though Brulee may be a failure, he still carries my flag, and not just anyone has the right to act against him!"

"The ones making a move are a group called the 'Donquixote Family,' a bunch of newcomers to the Grand Line who just entered the New World from the North Blue. Don't underestimate them. Brulee has two aces up his sleeve: 'Katakuri' and 'Dolce.'"

"Katakuri and Dolce?"

The golden-haired, silver-eyed youth pondered.

"I remember those two Mink warriors. Their strength is not something ordinary riff-raff can defeat."

"North Blue... Are these people connected to the Vinsmoke Family? Or are they from the Lohengran Kingdom? Or perhaps related to Avalo Pizarro?"

Avalo Pizarro, also known as the "Evil Political King."

The North Blue was notorious, and the mad king who led armies to plunder other countries was infamous.

But he was arrested by the Marines two years ago and had disappeared from the public eye.

Newcomers to the Grand Line, yet able to defeat someone who Rosinante "remembered the name of."

Rosinante was the first to refuse to believe that such a family didn't have a "mentor" behind them.

"The information I received indicates that the 'Donquixote Family' did indeed have contact with the 'Vinsmoke Family.' But... in any case, you should go and see what they're made of."

After saying that, the snail added a warning.

"Be careful."

Although CP0 had approached Lucci to request an assassination of the Donquixote Family, they naturally didn't reveal all the information:

They didn't reveal Lucci and Hattori's past as "Celestial Dragons" to prevent Lucci from hesitating to act.

They also didn't inform Lucci and Hattori that they were cooperating with Dragon.

Among the information that CP0 members were concealing, the snail on the other end sensed something unusual.

After testing the Donquixote Family's strength with Brulee, Lucci decisively dispatched his trusted subordinate:

Rosinante, also known as the "Silver-Eyed Lion King"!

"Leave it to me, boss."

The silver-haired youth pulled a white glove from his pocket and put it on, while taking out a recording pointer and checking the direction.

"It's been a day since the ship bound for Whole Cake Island departed, so..."

Peng!

The youth performed a slight crouching motion, and then a ring-shaped air ripple exploded along the ground, blowing the unconscious pirates away like sheets of paper. The entire dock was buzzing and shaking.

The youth's figure had already disappeared from the original spot, and only those with keen eyesight could see a black dot falling toward the distant horizon.

"I'm heading there right now!"

Let's catch up and take a "free ride" to Whole Cake Island.

---

Savage Island, Donquixote Family's ship, the Donquixote No.1.

"Let's go, it's time to set sail."

After taking control of the entire island, they didn't need to wait for the recording pointers to accumulate magnetic force; they simply gave the order, and a large number of stored "recording pointers" were offered to the Donquixote Family for use.

After carefully cross-referencing the recording pointers in his hand, Rosinante nodded to Doflamingo.

Everything was ready.

"Fufufufu, family!"

"Get your spirits up and make those who dare to offend us pay the price! Our target: Whole Cake Island!"

As Doflamingo waved his hand, Pica raised the sails, and Pick anchored the ship. Doflamingo then walked to the helm and took control of the ship himself. Rosinante, on the other hand, observed the recording pointers in his hand and looked up at the island gradually receding into the distance.

The twin dragon flag of the Donquixote Family fluttered above the towering city walls and the highest building in the city, the Great Colosseum. Once a flag was raised, according to the "rules" of this world, the island belonged to the Donquixote Family's protection.

It was a declaration of war on Kaido, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

"During this journey, everyone should practice Haki as much as possible—"

Rosinante clapped his hands and looked around at the "Seven Warlords" they were about to face. They weren't the "acquaintances" he would meet in the future, and Rosinante didn't know how strong they were, so he had to urge his family members to train in Haki diligently.

However, ideals are bone-thin, and reality is cruel.

"A bit careless..."

Several days later, Rosinante rubbed his temples.

A group of Mink children crawled all over him.

"Carou~~"

"Carou~~"

The so-called "Carou" was a friendly gesture among the Mink Tribe, a sign of intimacy and affection, essentially a form of "cuddling."

Being "cuddled," Rosinante looked up at the sky and regretted why he had nothing better to do than tell stories to these children.

"Hehe, did you already win the hearts of the Mink Tribe children so quickly?" Doflamingo, who was steering the ship, even with his sunglasses on, could tell that Rosinante was feeling quite amused.

"Not bad, very spirited!"

No, not at all. He regretted it deeply~~

"I didn't expect Rosinante to be so popular with the kids,"

Fortunately, at this moment, Jora came out of the kitchen with Van Augur and Brulee: Brulee was pushing a massive food cart.

Aside from the Donquixote Family, the Mink Tribe children and the two warriors had all boarded the ship.

"All right, kids."

Having been the head of an orphanage for over a decade, Jora clapped her hands, and her gentle but unquestionable voice made the Mink Tribe children obediently slide down from Rosinante.

"It's time for lunch,"

"After eating, Picca will lead you in basic combat training."

"Yes, Aunt Jora!"

The group of Mink Tribe children responded in unison.

When it came to dealing with children, Jora and Pica were the real experts.

In fact, when Rosinante agreed to let Jora join the crew, he had already prepared to entrust the training of the family's younger generation to her.

"Ah, I'm not good with kids~~"

Finally feeling relaxed, Rosinante leaned against the mast and felt more tired than if he had been in a fight.

"I'm very sorry..."

After distributing food to the children, Van Augur came over to Rosinante and apologized, but Rosinante waved his hand.

"It's okay, I was just speaking casually."

Although these Mink Tribe children included "Bear Mink," they were by no means "bratty kids." They were not only well-behaved but also polite and enthusiastic in their work.

Apart from liking to cling to Rosinante, they had almost no flaws.

After all, the education of the Mink Tribe itself was excellent, and these Mink Tribe children had seen the "dangers of the world," so they naturally didn't have any princess or spoiled rich kid tendencies.

"Rosinante... Can I call you that?"

After spending a few days together, Carrot gradually learned a lot about the members of the Donquixote Family:

Although they couldn't be called "good people," their value of family was unparalleled. Among their members, they were true partners who could rely on each other's backs.

This made Carrot both envious and relieved. As long as they didn't go against her ideals, they had no reason to harm their own people. So:

"While our tribe's innate talent, the 'Moon Lion' technique, can't be learned by humans..."

"But the 'Electro' ability is something you can actually try to learn."

"Isn't this technique based on generating electricity by rubbing your hair? Since I have half-human blood, I can only generate electricity from my hair and tail."

"If you're interested, I can teach you the technique of generating electricity with your hair."

Hair generating electricity... It may sound absurd, but it was a real technique in this world!

And its power even surpassed natural lightning. Just thinking about the lightning that had caused him so much trouble, Rosinante's eyes lit up.

"I'm interested, of course!"

"...Hmm, wouldn't this go against your tribe's rules or something?"

Facing Rosinante's words, Carrot smiled and shook her head.

"This technique is something I developed from the original 'Electro' technique. I'm not sure if you can learn it, and it might just be a waste of time..."

"No, no, even if I can't learn it, at least it can serve as a reference."

Rosinante became interested, as they say, "a stone from another mountain can be used to polish jade." The more techniques he mastered, the more likely he could develop his own unique moves.

After learning "Electro," he might even become a Super Saiyan!

In this way, the people on the Donquixote No.1 practiced and headed for the next island.

Several days later, Whole Cake Island was in sight!
