Chapter 126: Whole Cake Island

A few minutes ago,

"Hair generating electricity... this—"

Diamante had a puzzled look on his face. Could this technique really be useful?

"Why wouldn't it be? Don't underestimate the electrical current generated by friction. In the neighboring sea..."

"Cough, cough, it is rumored that there were once a group of people in history who could generate a strong magnetic field by friction at the cellular level, apart from their immense power, they could also affect the 'Greater Cosmic Universe.'"

Rosinante referred to those strong individuals in the world of pirates who generated electricity through cell friction, propelled magnetic fields, and could even accomplish feats like controlling 50,000 warships, 100,000 flying vessels, reaching Superhuman Enlightenment, and crossing the universe with just their bodies.

The members of the Donquixote Family on the deck all wore expressions of "I'm not well-educated, don't try to deceive me" in response to Rosinante's words.

"But, isn't it very difficult to master this technique?"

Jora pointed out that controlling hair like this was something even they "experts" had difficulty doing.

"It's a racial technique developed by the Mink Tribe, so it's hard for humans to master..."

"That's right, it's indeed quite challenging."

Rosinante reached up to his golden hair and produced sparks with a crackling sound.

However, that was all there was to it!

This slight static electricity might cause an ordinary person's muscles to twitch, but it could be easily ignored in a battle between experts.

"The key to this technique is to control the hair to continuously generate electricity through high-speed friction."

"Unfortunately, none of us possesses 'Life Return,' which would make generating friction with hair much easier. But the real challenge is controlling the lightning..."

The "Electro" technique of the Mink Tribe was based on a simple principle that even ordinary people could achieve. However, to use it effectively in combat required strong physical attributes and terrifying muscle control.

The Mink Tribe itself was a race with powerful physical talents and had been training since childhood. Even though Rosinante had learned some tricks from Carrot, he could only produce visible electrical currents in a short period.

He was far from being able to use it in actual combat.

"In any case, it's a very practical technique."

"You can all try practicing it when you have time."

Based on the performances of Carrot and Roddy, you could tell that if they only used physical strength in combat, Diamante, Vergo, and the others could hold their own for a while. But once they used the "Electro" technique, they would quickly defeat the officers of the Donquixote Family.

If they entered their "Moon Lion" state, even Rosinante and Doflamingo would have a tough fight on their hands!

This "Electro" technique greatly enhanced their abilities in close combat.

"It sounds easy, but even you, Rosinante, can only do this much. Whether we can learn it or not is still a question."

Trafalgar D. Water Law rolled his eyes at Rosinante's words.

Among the Donquixote Family members, Rosinante was undoubtedly the most talented when it came to learning. Even Doflamingo, in terms of learning various combat techniques, was inferior to Rosinante by a mile.

Many techniques were first mastered by Rosinante and then taught to other family members. He had become the de facto "martial arts instructor."

Friction, electricity...

On the other side, Doflamingo, who was steering the ship, seemed lost in thought as he produced transparent threads from his open hand, rapidly rubbing them together to create sparks.

After all, the earliest use of "threads" by humans was their hair!

"Doflamingo... Doflamingo!"

Suddenly bursting into laughter, Doflamingo surprised everyone, even Rosinante, who frowned.

Doflamingo, who was usually aloof and cold, suddenly acting this way... it was incomprehensible.

"Doflamingo, I'm fine."

He covered the lower half of his face with five fingers, his tone filled with joy.

"I just thought of something amusing—"

"What's so amusing..."

"We've arrived."

Just at that moment, the Mink Tribe girl on the mast landed lightly and pointed ahead of the Donquixote Family's ship.

"Whole Cake Island."

Whole Cake Island, as the name suggests, is naturally an island with an abundance of delicious food!

As the island's terrain became visible on the horizon, a strong aroma wafted towards the Donquixote Family's ship, causing everyone on the deck to subconsciously take a deep breath.

"This aroma, hahaha~~"

"What a tantalizing fragrance! Just a whiff of it awakens your appetite and makes you feel inexplicably hungry..."

Watching Toribor and Diamante shaking their heads, Carrot drooling, Viola with a fork and knife sticking to her cheeks... Rosinante rubbed his chin.

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

"So fragrant~~"

A group of Mink Tribe children rushed to the side of the ship, stretching their necks to look towards the distant island. Even Gladius, who usually didn't like playing with these "immature" children, stood up and looked ahead.

His mask was wriggling, clearly indicating that he was swallowing saliva!

"Don't get careless; this is the enemy's territory."

Compared to the people who were enticed by the aroma and looked forward to it, Rosinante, who wasn't particularly finicky about food, clapped his hands.

"Stay alert, and don't wander off alone—"

When the Donquixote Family's ship approached, they should be greeted with a barrage of cannonballs, not this peaceful and lively dock.

————

"Welcome to our Whole Cake Island!"

"Here, you can taste various delicacies from the New World and all over the world."

The clerk who had collected the "docking fee" removed his hat, bowed to everyone, and then turned and left.

The Donquixote Family's ship docked at the pier, and after everyone disembarked from the gangplank, they were greeted with various snacks:

Cotton candy spun on rotating spindles, candy apples hanging on straw sticks like candy trees, and sugar sculptures formed rapidly using a small spoon to create various shapes, such as animals, human figures, and ships...

At a glance, all the stalls were themed around "sweet" foods, stretching into the city ahead.

Various sweet aromas wafted in the wind, making people feel relaxed and joyful, truly living up to the name "Food Island."

"Why is it like this? It shouldn't be."

Walking at the back, Rosinante rubbed his chin in bewilderment.

According to reason, since the Donquixote Family had officially declared war on the forces of "Seven Warlords" Gecko Moria, they should be greeted with warships and cannonballs, not the peaceful and bustling vendors on the dock.

What's going on?

Is it sugar-coated cannonballs?

Rumble,

Just then, a series of faint roars came from the sea behind them. Rosinante turned to look, and he saw a white streak extending from the opposite direction to where the Donquixote Family's ship had come from.

?

"It's a powerful individual!"

With Rosinante's vision, he could naturally see that the white streak was actually a person running on the sea.

Moreover, the direction the person came from didn't have any ships at all, which meant that this person had been running from a very distant place.

This kind of endurance was worth Rosinante's attention. What was even more impressive was that the white streak slowed down mysteriously as it approached, and there wasn't even a sound of breaking the sound barrier. The person landed lightly on the pier, causing Rosinante's gaze to sharpen.

A true powerhouse!

If Rosinante hadn't turned his head to look at the sea beforehand, he wouldn't have even noticed this young man's leap.

"Hello, may I know your name?"

The silver-haired and silver-eyed youth who landed on the pier took a few steps, and upon seeing Rosinante, a trace of excitement flashed in his silver pupils.

It was the look of someone who had met someone worth fighting!

"...Rosinante Nanndi."

Rosinante, who was on guard, replied and slightly raised his hand to a position where he could draw the Sandai Kitetsu at any time.

"Rosinante Nanndi, I'll remember that name."

The golden-haired and silver-eyed youth nodded, brushed past Rosinante, and walked directly towards the city ahead.

"Looking forward to our battle."

?

"Rosinante, what are you dawdling back there?"

Doflamingo's voice came from the other side, causing Rosinante to turn his head subconsciously. However, when he turned his gaze back, the pier was empty.

?!

"So fast..."

Haki observation expanded, and a rapidly departing presence made Rosinante pause for a moment.

Is this really the "paradise" of the first half of the New World?

Powerful individuals could be encountered anywhere—

"Rosinante, big brother~~"

"Rosinante, big brother~~"

The voices of Mink Tribe children up ahead brought Rosinante back to his senses. He lowered his head and saw a group of little Mink children looking at him with bright, expectant eyes.

"Cough, Rosinante, my brother."

"You see, the kids want to buy some snacks..."

I bet you want some too, right?!

Rosinante glanced at the Bullhead warrior who followed the Mink children back, his gaze drifting towards the vendors. He rubbed his temples.

"Wait, let me check first."

Rosinante approached a vendor selling sour plum soup, and his Haki observation was fully activated.

"Give me a bowl."

"Sure thing, here comes the sour plum soup~~"

The vendor, an honest-looking man, quickly prepared a bowl of soup and handed it to Rosinante.

"Wait a moment, you drink this bowl, I'll pay."

?

"Well, alright."

The vendor didn't think much of it, and he picked up the bowl and drank it. Even if the young man in front of him wore a black feathered coat, carried a long sword, and had the appearance of a "powerful individual," it didn't matter if he didn't pay. He could just consider it a self-treat to quench his thirst.

No acute toxins, and his heartbeat hadn't changed. Could it be that he was just being paranoid?

After taking the second bowl from the vendor, Rosinante took a slow sip.

With Rosinante's current physical condition, even if he drank a mouthful of deadly poison, he could immediately react by inducing vomiting.

However... sour and sweet, with a hint of coldness in the soup, it instantly washed away the numbness from the long sea voyage. Rosinante's spirit was shaken, and he felt his appetite opening up.

This...

"Cough, can we all have a bowl?"

Turning to look at the people behind him: whether it was the Mink children, the two warriors, or even Toribor and the others, all had eager expressions. Rosinante nodded.

"Give everyone a bowl."

He took out a stack of Berries, causing the somewhat impatient vendor to break into a smile.

"Alright, alright."

"Coming right up—"

Soon, under Rosinante's "inspection" and "guidance," the group enjoyed a variety of snacks, from sweet to spicy, seafood to barbecue...

"These hot strips!"

"So spicy, with a chewy texture. This stimulating flavor..."

"Red oil is usually greasy, but... it's the sugar! Sugar brings a refreshing taste to it, and when balanced with the red oil, it's like encountering a long-lost downpour in a drought. This alternation makes the food come alive!"

?

"This egg-filled pancake..."

"Fresh eggs, broken into a thick egg mixture. The hot cake is clamped on one end with a kaito, and the egg mixture, meeting the high temperature, swiftly spreads around..."

"This exquisite taste, the perfect combination of cake and egg, this softness is... it's scallions, yes, that's right, it's a heavenly delicacy."

??"

"This rice..."

"It's so delicious, with such a fine and sticky texture, blending perfectly with the vegetables!"

"It's incredible, with saturated color, a sophisticated taste, as if we've entered a royal feast, and the women swirling around me are dancing as if they're in front of me. It's truly unforgettable."

????

"I mean, is it really that exaggerated?"

Faced with Rosinante's confusion, the family members who were indulging in eating and drinking, turning into "food critics," all threw him a disdainful look. Rosinante frowned and then took a bite of the Sea King meat steak in his hand.

For Rosinante, when it came to food—

As long as it's edible.

"Fu fu fu..."

Even Doflamingo held a glass of wine and swirled it gently.

"The taste of this wine, elegant and magnificent sweetness, like surging waves, yet so colorful, with an irresistibly rich mouthfeel, not bad, not bad."

????

Rosinante took another bite of the steak in his hand and began to question his life choices.

Is it just me who doesn't seem to have a taste for fine cuisine?

What's going on here?!

Where are the enemies?

Why haven't they shown up yet—

————

The enemies Rosinante was "anticipating" had just arrived at the Food Island.

"Why did you come in person, Master?"

In the central part of this food-themed island was a gigantic building resembling a "pot," and this was the residence of the island's manager: Kaido.

The man named "Kaido" was handsome with a lush head of black hair, and he wore the attire of a doctor, but his demeanor was more reminiscent of a poison master.

In front of him was the golden-haired silver-eyed youth: Ricardo!

"Master Kaido sent me here,"

The youth with a sturdy posture gave a glance to the man with the sinister smile.

"It's to deal with a group called the 'Donquixote Family.' They've taken out... that person from the Colosseum."

"...Breed, right?"

The man dressed as a doctor couldn't quite contain his sinister smile. He found it difficult to understand the personality of this second-in-command.

For the man named "Kaido," being well-read, proficient in various combat techniques, and having a clear memory of every wanted poster's information should be basic skills for a "successful person."

And yet, this guy who only seems to have muscles in his head, can't even remember the organization's executives. Why should he be the second-in-command of the organization?

"It doesn't matter if Breed is dead,"

"But daring to challenge the authority of Master Kaido is unforgivable."

Suppressing the urge to point out the mistake in the man's address, the doctor-dressed sinister man nodded.

"So, you mean you need me to send someone to deal with the 'Donquixote Family' on Breed's island?"

"No,"

However, the golden-haired silver-eyed youth shook his head.

"If I'm not mistaken, the 'Donquixote Family' has already arrived on this island."
