Through the projection of a Den Den Mushi, Garp was watching the broadcast from Loguetown in the East Blue. It was currently nine in the morning, with several hours remaining until the Pirate King's execution was scheduled to begin in the afternoon.
"Reporting!"
The same Marine who had reported Kaido's arrival in Cheese City to Garp the previous day hurried over to Garp's side. "Vice Admiral Garp, Grimm, one of the Three Monsters, has also arrived!"
"Hmmmm…"
Garp responded with a sound, but nothing further followed.
"Vice Admiral Garp?" the soldier urged anxiously. After taking a sip of water, Garp patted the young Marine's shoulder. "What's the rush? The mission is to prevent them from causing trouble or saying anything out of line. Let them chat if they want to."
Is Vice Admiral Garp alright… Are these three really just having a tea party and chatting?
Garp: "What else would it be? I told you it's a tea party…"
The Marines on the ship were internally complaining. Their superior was good in every way, but couldn't he have a bit more intelligence? It was said that the crew members of Vice Admiral Borsalino's ship on the adjacent vessel felt the same way…
On the same day the Pirate King was to be executed, three Great Pirates known as the "Three Monsters" were gathering on Cheese Island. No matter how you looked at it, it didn't seem like a coincidence. What were they planning? Even the World Government was paying close attention.
Cheese Island.
The island, predominantly yellow like cheese, seemed to be constructed from slices of cheese.
Grimm didn't care whether the island was naturally formed or created by Big Mom.
He was focused on the giant pirate ships surrounding them, bearing the flag of the Beasts Pirates.
"Welcome, Lord Grimm!"
As soon as Grimm stepped onto the island, countless beautiful women dressed in swimsuits, maid outfits, and nurse uniforms stood on both sides of the city gate, bowing respectfully. Many breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Grimm's appearance.
"What is all this…" Grimm thought inwardly.
At this moment, within Cheese City, a man covered in candy, constantly licking a giant lollipop, led a group of subordinates with the Big Mom Pirates' emblem embroidered on their clothes, and approached Grimm.
The man at the forefront, licking the giant lollipop, was Charlotte Perospero, Charlotte Linlin's eldest son, who had delivered the invitation to Grimm a week prior.
Perospero walked in front of Grimm, removed the lollipop from his mouth, gestured towards the at least fifty women in alluring uniforms and attractive appearances standing on both sides of the cheese carpet, and said with a sinister chuckle, "Are you satisfied with our Mom's hospitality, Lord Grimm?"
"Heh oh… this is…" Grimm drew out the sound.
"Within a week, we've gathered beauties from various channels across the four seas. Desert kingdoms from the South Blue, dancers from the North Blue, geishas from the East Blue, we have it all. We believe it should satisfy you."
Perospero chuckled sinisterly. "This represents the warm hospitality of our Big Mom Pirates. Moreover, they are all virgins. I doubt you, Lord Grimm, would have any complaints!"
Although Grimm's expression remained calm, he was inwardly amused.
His reputation for lustfulness had spread due to his experiences on the continent of Lulusis. Coupled with the scene at the bar a few days ago witnessed by this ugly man, did they really think he was an animal driven solely by his lower body?
Although it was a misunderstanding, Grimm didn't bother to explain. It was fine this way, wasn't it!
However, the Big Mom Pirates' capabilities were truly impressive. Gathering so many beauties in a week, and all of them virgins, Grimm definitely couldn't handle this.
"Please!"
Perospero gestured with one hand towards the city, inviting Grimm to enter Cheese City with him.
Suddenly, a massive building made of cheese in front of them was instantly destroyed by immense force. Fragments of cheese brushed past Grimm's face. By the time Perospero recovered, a colossal figure, like a small mountain, appeared before them.
Many of the girls standing on either side of the cheese carpet, provided for Grimm, were sent flying by the immense impact, but no one paid them any mind.
"Lord Kaido, it's tea party time today… Could you please be a little quieter?"
Although Perospero felt disdain for Kaido, who started destroying things upon arrival, Kaido possessed strength equal to his Mom. Therefore, even as Mom's eldest son, he remained relatively polite.
More importantly, the bastard in front of him was not the type to listen to others.
Upon seeing Kaido's massive physique and his overwhelming aura, many of the Big Mom Pirates' crew members took a step back in fear.
"You brat, you're here just in time. I'm here to deal with you!" Kaido completely ignored Perospero's words.
Kaido's warlike nature was innate.
Grimm's lips curved upwards. "Just a mad dog. You're not worthy of being Holy Light's opponent!"
"It's been a few years, have you become good at talking trash!" Kaido wasn't angry but chose to speak with action. He pulled out a spiked club from behind him, his fighting spirit soaring.
The most important reason for coming to this old hag Charlotte's place this time was to spar with Grimm.
He heard that Grimm fought Whitebeard to a draw, and Whitebeard even said that among the Three Monsters, Grimm would be the final victor because he couldn't die. Kaido, for one, refused to accept this.
"Boss Kaido, this is another of the Three Monsters' territory. Please refrain from causing trouble!"
Many of Kaido's crew members, who had just emerged from the ruins of the destroyed building, rushed to try and dissuade their boss.
Grimm walked to Perospero's side, conjuring Ashbringer. A faint smile played on his lips as he raised Ashbringer above his head with both hands. "Yes, that's right. A mad dog should act like a mad dog. Alright, hurry up and come!"
"Woof~"
Kaido roared and swung his spiked club down.
Crack!
Lightning flashed, instantly scorching the cheese ground between Grimm and Kaido black, momentarily halting Kaido's attack.
It was a lightning bolt with an expression.
A frowning, resentful flash of lightning.
Grimm planted Ashbringer in the ground and looked up at the sudden lightning, laughing. "I've found something interesting!"
"Mom…"
"Mom~"
At this moment, Big Mom Pirates' crew members, dressed eccentrically in various parts of Cheese City, uttered the same word one after another. Grimm, Kaido, and others not affiliated with the Big Mom Pirates turned to look.
A tall woman with heavy makeup and extremely flamboyant attire was leading a group of people dressed like sweets.
Charlotte Linlin.
Looking from a distance, Grimm saw that Big Mom at this time was not as ugly as she would become later. To be precise, she was quite attractive, somewhat resembling a future, enlarged version of "Jewelry Bonney!"
"Hahahaha! You've arrived, [Pope] and [Hundred Beasts]. My apologies, I'm late!"
The frowning lightning bolt, upon seeing Big Mom's arrival, automatically retreated back into the sky above Cheese Island.
Although Kaido was warlike, he wasn't completely brainless. Furthermore, his desire to court death wasn't as strong at this time. For now, he would listen to what this woman who loved having children wanted them here for. Was it for… mating?
