New World, Unknown Sea.
Koch was taking sunbath on the ship's deck, suddenly he remembered something, and went to find Shakky.
Shakky was in charge of the intelligence, she was collecting all the information of the sea, especially the information of the sea emperors and the Marines.
Shakky was handling the helm of the ship, with the ship spirit, it was very easy to sail on the new world.
"Sister shakky, is there any news about the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit of Sengoku?"
After the death of the Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the whole world was searching for his Devil Fruit. Koch also was interested in this Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, there were very few Devil Fruit that were releated to gods, and this was one of them.
It was very hard to find the Devil Fruit that can reappear anywhere in the world, but Koch was sure that this fruit will appear in the Grand Line.
In East Blue, there were very few Devil Fruit users, and very few Devil Fruit appeared in East Blue, Koch only knew about the Flame Flame fruit of Ace and Slip Slip fruit of Alvida, that appeared in East Blue, and other Devil Fruit like the Gum Gum fruit of luffy and Chop Chop fruit of Buggy were from the Grand Line.
Many Devil Fruit users died in the Grand Line, but their Devil Fruits never appeared in the Four seas, so Koch belived that Sengoku's Devil Fruit will reappear in the Grand Line.
It will also take a lot of time for the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit to reappear, according to some books that he read in the past, the more rare the devil fruit is, the more time it will take to reappear.
If it was some random Devil Fruit then, whoever find the fruit, they will try to sell it instead of eating it, but if someone found the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, then they will eat it without any thought.
"There is no any news of that Devil Fruit. Right now almost all Pirates and even the marines were searching for that Devil Fruit. Once this Devil Fruit appear, it will shake the new world, many people will fight for this fruit."
Shakky replied to Koch.
"It is also a good news, as long as the fruit is not eaten by anyone, we still have chance to find the fruit."
Koch doesn't have any other option but to wait for the Devil Fruit to reappear.
"Is there any news about the sea emperor and the Marines."
Koch asked shakky, after the defeat of kaido, koch want to know the reaction of Big Mom, Whitebeard and the Marines.
"Big Mom send an invitation to you for the Tea Party, that will happen after few weeks, and she also recalled all the Big Mom Pirates."
Shakky looked at Koch, she understands Linlin very well, she knew why Big Mom invited Koch to her Tea Party. And from the information she received, Big Mom is taking this matter seriously, Big Mom recalled every member of the Big Mom Pirates back to the Totto Land.
"The Whitebeard pirates also recalled all of their crew members back, and it seems that Whitebeard is wating for you. He had challenged you for the title of the 'Strongest Man'."
Shakky never thought that Whitebeard will recalled all of their crew members back, looks like even Whitebeard is feeling pressure from Koch.
"Big Mom's Tea Party and Whitebeard's challange. It will be fun."
Koch was wating for the tea party, if he could take some of Big Mom's daughters then, his combat power can reach around 1 million, but it may not increase his Achievement Points.
The newspaper already posted that Koch took Kaido's wife and daughter, so Koch taking Big Mom's daughter will not increase his Achievement Points, so Koch was planning to take Big Mom herself.
"Sister shakky, what will happen if Big Mom joined the Sun and Moon Pirate?"
Shakky was shocked to hear that.
"Captain, What are you talking about?"
Shakky knew that Koch was going to take some of the Big Mom's daughter, which is possible, but taking the Big Mom herself is impossible.
"Captain, she is one of the sea emperor right now, she won't join our crew. In the past she joined the Rocks Pirates, because she was not that strong and the ship was also filled with the strongest men, so to make her dream come true, she joined the Rocks Pirates."
Rocks Pirates were different than other pirates. Rocks acquired almost all the members of the crew from the Davy Back Fight, so there was no trust and feeling between the crew member, and Linlin only joined the crew because she doesn't have any other option.
And linlin is one of the sea emperor right now, no matter what, linlin won't joined the Sun and Moon Pirates.
"There is no harm in trying."
Koch has absolute confidence that he can defeat Big Mom, but Big Mom may not joined their crew even after her defeat.
But if somehow Big Mom joined their crew, then it will bring great amount of Achievement Points, so Koch wanted to try, not only for the Achievement points but also for the combat power.
Big Mom is one of the sea emperor, her combat power should be around 700k, and if she joined the Sun and Moon Pirates, Koch combat power will reach 1.5 million.
"Captain, it is really Impossible. Big Mom is a stubborn women, she is like a giant child, she won't listen to anyone but herself."
Shakky still believes that this is impossible.
"Is there any news about the marines and the World Government?"
Koch asked shakky.
"There is no movement from the marines and the World Government, it looks like the world government want the four sea emperors to fight with eachother. Around ten days ago the marines held the funeral of the Sengoku, but no one from the world government attended the funeral. And after the funeral, the previous Fleet Admiral Kong took the Fleet Admiral position again."
"Kong become the Fleet Admiral already. We missed the best opportunity."
Shakky looked at Koch, she didn't understand.
"If the next Fleet Admiral died right after taking the office, it will be great news, and the impact will be great."
Koch missed this good opportunity to acquired the Achievement points.
Shakky looked at Koch with shocked face.
"But, I think that Kong is just temporary Fleet Admiral, I believe that the Five Elders will gave that position to Akainu sooner or later."
Koch thought about the Akainu, althought Koch wanted to kill Akainu, but Akainu seems to have some kind of plot Armor.
When Koch fought with Akainu for the first time, Akainu was stronger than Koch, so Koch couldn't killed Akainu.
When they fought again, Akainu brought Aokiji and Kizaru, so it was hard to kill Akainu, and when Koch finally thought he could kill Akainu, Zephyr came and Koch changed his plan.
And when Koch was fighting with Kaido, it seems Akainu decide to interfere in their fight and came to the New World, but he returned to the Marineford the next day.
"Didn't some of the newspaper published the false news that, 'I threaten the World government, and If Akainu become the Fleet Admiral, I will attack the Marineford'. We can make that true."
Koch laughed.
Shakky looked at Koch.
"Captain, just how many crazy ideas do you have."
"Why should we have to wait for the Marines to take any action, why can't we make our move first?"
Shakky didn't know what to say. Big Mom and Whitebeard didn't have any interest on attacking the marines or the world government, it was only Kaido, he tried to attack the Marines many time, but he failed everytime. The power of the marines and the World Government is still higher than the sea emperors.
"Let's forget about that, let's sail towards the Big Mom territory, let's attend the Tea Party."
New World, Unknown Sea.
"let's sail towards the Big Mom territory, I want to attend the Tea Party."
Koch made his decision, he want to attend the Tea Party and try to take few daughters of the Big Mom.
Shakky who heard Koch, took out a picture book and gave it to Koch, the book contain all the information about Big Mom's daughter.
Koch looked at the information gathered by shakky, few of the Big Mom's daughters are strong, like Charlotte Smoothie, Charlotte Amande, Charlotte Custard, Charlotte Galette and few others.
Koch kept looking at the information.
...
Totto Land, Big Mom Pirates.
This area of the sea is ruled by the Big Mom Pirates,
Totto Land is a massive archipelago with Whole Cake Island in its center, which is the Big Mom Pirates base of operation.
Totto Land consists of 34 subsidiary islands, which are roughly arranged in concentric circles, and each island is ruled by the member of the Charlotte Family as its minister, and most island are themed after foods.
The tea party is only a week away, so all members of the Big Mom Pirates are preparing for the Tea Party.
All the best wine of the sea, the best ingredients are brought to the whole Cake Island.
The members of the Big Mom Pirates looked nervous. The guest of the previous Tea Parties were always weaker than the Big Mom Pirates, so it was easy to control, but the guests of the next Tea Party are the Sun and Moon Pirates, one of the sea emperor, which are equal in strength with the Big Mom Pirates. If something went wrong, it will be difficult to control, and there is also the possibility of war between them.
This is also the first time that another sea emperor was invited to the Big Mom's Tea Party.
No matter what will happen at the Tea Party, the preparation should be done carefully, no one want to anger Big Mom.
...
Totto Land, Komugi Island.
"I just hope that the Tea Party will end with the marriage."
Katakuri was training hard, Katakuri doesn't want to be weaker. After Koch was gain the title of the sea emperor just at the age of 20, Katakuri increased his training.
Katakuri is the second son and third child of theCharlotte Family. He is also one of theFour Sweet Commandersof the Big Mom Pirates and serves asTotto Land'sMinister of Flour, governing overKomugi Island.
Katakuri was little worried about the Tea Party, the best result is the marriage, both parties will be happy, and there will be no friction between them, instead they will become allies.
The worst outcome, of course, is war.
Katakuri is the strongest member of the Big Mom Pirates, there is a heavy responsibility on his shoulder, so he was preparing for the worst outcome.
"Katakuri, do you know, who will be the bride?"
Charlotte Oven leaned against the wall and asked curiously, Big Mom hasn't announced anything about the bride.
"It seems that mother is not sure, she is still thinking about it."
Daifuku said, he was also training with his brothers.
Katakuri, Oven and Daifuku are the triplets, and Katakuri is the oldest among them. All three of them are the strongest member of the Big Mom Pirates.
Big Mom has many children, and the whole Pirates crew is constructed from her entire family.
Big Mom has 77 children right now, and most of them have different fathers. The siblings are often seen cooperating with one another in order to complete missions they were assigned to by Big Mom herself, but despite those assistance, some family members were shown to be hateful, deceitful, suspicious, and threatening toward each other.
But many siblings respect Katakuri for his strength, as he is the strongest member of the Big Mom Pirates crew.
"It's a pity that we don't have any sister."
Oven said to his brothers, this is the marriage with one of the Four Emperor of the sea, it can't be compared to any other marriage of the past.
"Koch is someone with strength equal to mother, I don't think that the younger sisters in the family are qualified for this marriage. I think that this marriage will be only for the show."
The three brothers are the strongest member of the Big Mom pirates crew and they fought with the Beast Pirates in the past, they knew the strength of the Beast Pirates.
The Sun and Moon Pirates killed the Fleet Admiral, and they even manage to win against the Beast Pirates, the three brothers didn't dare to underestimate Koch and the Sun and Moon Pirates.
"Katakuri, do you think that mother is going to marry Koch herself?"
Oven asked Katakuri, it was hard to believe but this is possible.
Katakuri, who was practicing, suddenly froze, he remembered Big Mom reaction when she saw Koch's picture for the first time, it look like she was also interested on Koch.
"In the past, almost every men that mother married were weak, they didn't have any status or strength, and mother will throw them away, but Koch is different."
Daifuku said to his brothers, if Big Mom and Koch got married, then they have to call Koch, father. They all were 36 years old right now, but Koch is only 20.
"I don't think that will happen. Mother called every female member of the family to the Whole Cake Island. They must be discussing about the marriage."
Katakuri said and stopped practicing. He couldn't practicing anymore, there is still possibility that Big Mom will decide to be the bride herself, and he was sure Koch will not accept that, which may cause the war between the two sea emperors.
"I hope Smoothie and the others can succeed. Otherwise, with mother character, this marriage will fall, and she will definitely use force to get, what she want."
Daifuku was worried about the Tea Party.
...
Whole Cake Island.
Big Mom gathered all the women who had reached the age of sixteen, total of 21.
All 21 sisters were gathered, all of them knew, why they were gathered.
They all looked at Big Mom. Whenever a girl is nominated for the marriage, they have no right to object, and they also don't dare to say no, they all were used to this.
They were the daughters of the Big Mom, so all of them have the pride and arrogance. They don't want to get married to a random guy, but they don't have any other choise.
But, the situation right now is different, althought they still have no choice, but almost all of them wanted to be the bride.
The marriage in the past were little different, almost all the marriage were for the background of the groom. Big Mom doesn't care about the groom, she only care about the groom's background.
But, this time it is Koch, everything is about Koch. Big Mom is not after koch's background, she is after Koch himself.
'Let's not talk about his strength, he is the most handsome man I have ever seen.'
'He is also one of the strongest in the sea right now, his strength is equal to the mother and other sea emperors.'
'All the past groom were weak and not that good looking compared to Koch.'
Almost all of them were looking at Big Mom with anticipation.
Smoothie looked at her sisters, she doesn't know what to say.
Smoothie is the most talented among the Big Mom's daughters, she is only 23 years old and she is already one of the four sweet commanders.
Katakuri, smoothie, cracker and snack are the four sweet commanders of the Big Mom's Pirates.
With her talent and strength, she is no longer the marriage tool of the family.
'Women are not necessarily inferior to men, but if I had to choose a husband, then there is only Koch, other mens are useless.'
"mama..mama"
Big Mom looked at her daughter's expressions. In the past all of them used to be unwilling, but this time almost all of them were ready to be the bride.
Big Mom looked at the picture of Koch with lustful eyes, but shook her head with regret.
At first she thought about capturing Koch by force, but Koch become stronger and stronger. She knew it is impossible to get Koch by force.
She doesn't have any other choice, but to give the delicious cake to her daughter.
