The BIG MOM Pirates' flagship was quite unique, not just because of its special dessert-like design, but most importantly because it had been modified by BIG MOM's Devil Fruit ability, making it a Homie with a consciousness.
Thus, the pirate ship with the jester figurehead singing strange songs became the symbol of the Four Emperor BIG MOM Pirates' elite forces.
On the deck of the Queen Mama Chanter, Charlotte Perospero, the eldest son of the Charlotte Family and Minister of Candy, hung up the Den Den Mushi, a grim expression on his face.
Compared to the original storyline, he had a large, wrinkled scar on one side of his neck, even extending to his chin.
Smoothie, with her long legs crossed on a stool, said, "Did something happen?"
Perospero said, "We've lost contact with the Ghost Flag Pirates. Those fools probably disobeyed orders and attacked that person on their own!"
Smoothie curled her lips in disdain and said, "They really are a bunch of fools. How dare they attack an opponent that even Mama couldn't handle?
But they should know that our main force is approaching them. Did they run away?"
Perospero shook his head, his expression even uglier, and said, "I mobilized several pirate crews on the outskirts, but none of them have spotted them leaving that island. They're still there!"
Smoothie realized what that meant and said, "Are they waiting for us? It seems we're being underestimated!"
Perospero grinned and said, "After all, it's a man that even Mama couldn't defeat, so we'll just have to show them the power of the Four Emperor Pirates.
We have Snack and you, two Sweet Commanders, on this ship, and Katakuri's ship is also approaching. Daifuku and Oven are with him. This time, they won't be able to escape!"
Perospero looked at his gloved hand, a venomous expression flashing in his eyes.
'That damned woman, I'll make you pay this time!'
He had been one of the main forces in the previous battle on Cake Island. As a result, all the candy he created with his Devil Fruit ability melted in the face of Stella's flames.
He himself was severely burned, and half of his body was now covered in burn scars. However, he usually wore thick clothing, so it wasn't visible.
But that didn't mean that Perospero could pretend that nothing had happened. He had never forgotten his desire for revenge since then.
On a nameless deserted island, Fairy Tail lit a bonfire. Both the dangerous beasts on the island and the giant sea creatures in the ocean were turned into ingredients and placed on the grill.
Since they had come to the pirate world, they had to have a banquet to celebrate.
Stella, who had been studying cooking for a long time, was no longer the kitchen killer she once was. She skillfully turned the grill while introducing how wonderful the ingredients of this world were to several of the girls.
"How can this meat be so delicious?!"
Natsu had a piece of meat in each hand, devouring them with gusto.
"Aye! I'm seeing such a big fish for the first time!"
Happy's eyes were sparkling. The sea beasts in the pirate world certainly had the characteristics of fish, so in the little blue cat's eyes, they were his favorite fish!
"Gray-sama, ah! This is a dish filled with Juvia's love!"
"Hey! Stay away from me!"
This was the usual Gray and Juvia.
"I heard from Drake that the people in this world are stronger because of this meat. Make sure to eat a lot!"
Erza, in parent mode, frantically fed Kagura and the others, piling up the meat in front of them into small mountains.
The banquet lasted from morning to noon. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Drake clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention and said, "The people we've been waiting for have arrived. They'll make a good after-meal exercise!"
Everyone looked towards the ocean, and sure enough, black dots appeared on the horizon, and these black dots were constantly getting bigger.
"What big ships! But why are there so many desserts on the ships?"
As they got closer, the appearance of the ships became clear to everyone. Natsu, never one to hold back, asked the question that everyone who was seeing this unique style of the pirate world for the first time wanted to ask.
Hearing Natsu's question, Drake could only say, "I guess that's just their personal style! Anyway, there are a lot of strange things in this world. You'll get used to it!"
Drake, who had long accepted the setting of this world, was naturally not focused on the strangely shaped ships, but on the people on board.
Katakuri, Daifuku, Oven, Perospero, Smoothie, Snack... most of the well-known and named mid-level executives of the Charlotte Family were there. All the Sweet Commanders were present except for Cracker.
In addition to Baron Tamago, Bobbin, and other executives from outside the bloodline, it could be said that the lineup of the BIG MOM Pirates was just short of BIG MOM herself to start a full-scale war between the Four Emperors.
It seemed that BIG MOM really hated him, sending out most of her elites so quickly after getting the news.
Drake had a feeling that BIG MOM was also approaching.
"It feels like something's missing just watching them approach. Who wants to go and say hello to them first?"
While Natsu and Gray were arguing, Sasuke took action first.
Susanoo appeared, but this time, the giant held not a ninja sword, but a Chakra greatbow.
"Takemikazuchi: Lightning God Arrow!"
Lightning fell, forming a feathered arrow between Susanoo's fingers. Susanoo drew back the bow, and then directly fired the lightning arrow at the massive pirate ship.
During the battle with the First Hokage, Sasuke had also used this move in the Armored Susanoo form, destroying a considerable portion of the Top Transformed Buddha's attacks.
This time, although he wasn't using his full strength like back then, the power of the Lightning God Arrow was still not to be underestimated. This arrow definitely had the power to destroy the Queen Mama Chanter.
"What's going on?!"
Perospero's eyes widened. The information they had gathered about Drake didn't mention that he had subordinates who could wield lightning.
And where did such a powerful Devil Fruit user come from? Why had they never heard of him before?
However, although this attack was strong, there was no way they would let it destroy the BIG MOM Pirates' flagship!
Smoothie jumped onto the bow of the ship, and her body began to shrink.
Smoothie was a dehydration human, a Devil Fruit user with the ability to squeeze the moisture out of her opponents' bodies. She could also transform into a juice giant by absorbing moisture and gain the power of a giant.
She could also release the moisture in the form of slashes, greatly increasing the power of the attack.
At this time, she used this move, releasing all the hastily absorbed moisture in a slash to attack the Lightning God Arrow.
The water slash and the Lightning God Arrow collided, and after a brief stalemate, the slash directly cut through the Lightning God Arrow, but the slash itself shattered in the electric arc.
Sasuke frowned. Although this was just what Drake called "saying hello," he didn't expect his attack to be broken so easily.
Drake wasn't surprised and said, "Everyone, pay attention. Our opponents are Sweet Commanders, top executives of the Four Emperor Pirates, some of the strongest people in this world. Don't lose because you're careless!"
