Chapter 23 - Tea Party pt. 2

Ugh, why does my computer hate me so? It's not a major issue or anything but a tidbit about me is I like playing RTS games and for some reason my dumbass computer doesn't like playing them for some reason.

I have 16GB of ram and a GeForce 3070 graphics card but for some reason whenever I play any rts games, which don't take up much of either my RAM or GPU mind you, it still causes them to crash.

I can play some of the most hardware intensive games on high or ultra settings and those games run just fine but if it's like any of the Total Wars or Bannerlord the game will crash in either about 10 minutes after booting up at the least or the most up to an hour before a error pops up and shuts down the games, no clue what's going on but it's only those types of games for some reason.

Anyway I just felt like saying that so let's get back to the story.

Food

Everywhere I looked and saw was just foods of many different kinds that made up the shape of the entire island.

The buildings, roads, the massive castle was a cake and there were giant living lollipops sticking out of the ground that cheered as we passed them.

I don't take the information I have at face value unless I see it in person, even with the Manga I found what was shown to be hard to believe after all but no it is true that this entire archipelago of islands are all made to at least look like their made out of food as while everything looked like food it obviously wouldn't taste like food thanks to one of the members of the family changing the islands drastically by his own hands.

But that didn't matter as we went through the center of the main city on this island making way to the massive castle and taking the massive staircase that wraps around it all the way to the top.

Though standing not to far from the exit of the staircase stood a rather large man wearing a leather outfit with a scarf covering up his face as he stood guard to the entrance as both me and him stared each other down.

"Charlotte Katakuri…."

"Dio Brando….."

*Glare* x2

*Crackle Crackle*

*BOOM BOOM BOOM*

We both simultaneously unleashed our conquers haki as we stared both of each-other down causing a massive wave a pressure to effect the entire surrounding area.

"Hooo? I don't remember giving you permission to call me by my name…." I say putting on the pressure as he gives it his all to hold me back, not only was it him saying my name.

But his voice reminded me of that insufferable bastard JoJo!

(A/N surprisingly enough both his Japanese and English VA's both voice acted as the young Joesph Joestar so this actually makes sense why he gets doubly pissed at Katakuri)

"MAMA MAMA!" We all heard a familiar laugh as a third wave of conquers haki that easily crushed Katakuri's while I stood my ground as I saw the absurdly tall and large woman approach us with a menacing smile on her face.

"Katakuri! Dio is a special guest, and he should be treated as such even if you don't like him, if he was even remotely serious I would have lost you today and that would have been a heavy loss for the family…" LinLin said without her rather cheerful demeanor that she gives off to people when she's happy and seemed more menacing than usual to her children who could tell she wasn't angry but was getting pretty damn close and they all know already not to piss off Mama.

"…. Yes Mama…." Katakuri said as he bowed his head towards his mother before he turned and faced me and bowed his head again.

"Excuse me for the rude meeting between us, I beg your forgiveness…."

"Your lucky I'm giving your mother some face…."

*BBBWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOMMMMM*

'Step'

'Step'

'Step'

'Step'

*BBBBWWWWWWWWWOOOOOMMMMM*

"?!?!" Katakuri showed a look of shock in his eyes as he couldn't see him even going past him as a sweat trickled down the side of his face.

"…. Or like she said, today wouldn't be a party, but a funeral…." I say before ignoring them completely entering the party venue, ignoring what those four will be talking about as I looked at my surroundings and the people there.

I could see that everyone was either trying to calm down, relaxing, or trying to awaken those that had fallen unconscious with one laying on the ground in front of me.

Usually whether man or woman I would ignore and walk over on a good day or kick the shit out of them for being in my way on a bad day, but this woman peaked my curiosity as I looked at her barely conscious from the combined conquers haki that all three of us had released.

I looked down at her and she looked young like a woman who was beginning to blossom into adulthood but what attracted me wasn't her looks but the 'peculiarity' she gave off.

She looked human but clearly wasn't human, she must be a part of an offshoot race of humanity because I'm not necessarily disgusted by her presence or at best look at her as another potential toy as I lifted her up and placed her down on an open chair as she began to rouse from her unconsciousness.

"Mmmm hmmm?" She opened her eyes to look and see me standing before her before she opened her eyes wider in shock at seeing who was standing before her.

"Try to find a chair next time, your lucky I decided to help you get out of the way, something I rarely ever do." I say before walking away towards the main head table of this tea party.

She nodded vigorously as she watched me walk away as she gulped as she looked upon my perfectly sculpted upper body that I left free for all to clearly see.

'He's scary, almost like Mama, but the rumors are true, he really is the most handsome man in the world…. Did-did he notice it?' She thought to herself as she put her hand over her forehead trying to cover up her secret.

But at this, Charlotte Pudding, wouldn't realize that her mother saw that interaction between one of her youngest daughters and Dio as she grinned.

'I guess I'll have to rethink the 'alliance' with the Vinsmokes family and offer up one of my other daughters instead of her now.' She thought before walked into the venue with a big smile on her face.

"Mama Mama! Welcome everyone to my monthly Tea Party! Now without further ado! Let's get this party started!" She said with a happy smile as she, the rest of her family and the guests all cheered in response.

I could say thing were about to get a lot more interesting and a lot more profitable for everyone involved by the end of this party.
