Totto Land, Cake Island.
Katakuri, who returned from the Summit War, had only been recovering for two days when he heard various information about the Big Daddy Pirates coming from his younger brothers and sisters, which made him feel like something bad was about to happen.
Only when you have seen the power of Basire's Tremor and Dark Fruits on the battlefield will you understand how powerful this new Yonkō is, especially how unstoppable the threat to the island is.
After provoking Basire, all the 34 islands in Totto Land are in danger.
Now, the wounds left by the two Marine Admirals, Akainu and Kizaru, still hurt. Even if he returned to Cake Island and received the best treatment, he still wouldn't be able to fully heal so quickly.
The Marine Admirals' strength is really terrifying, especially the high temperature of the Magma Fruit, which greatly restrains his devil fruit ability. Even if he elementally evaded in advance, he was still roasted by the hot temperature.
Even Armament Haki couldn't fully withstand the fierce attacks of Akainu.
Marco the Phoenix was even worse. He was punched by Garp. It was estimated that he would have to recover for a week at least.
Even the powerful recovery power of the Phoenix Fruit cannot quickly recover the deep damage caused by Garp's terrifying Haki.
Although Katakuri has not recovered now, his fighting power is still there. With his mother in charge, the Big Mom Pirates will not be afraid of Basire.
He's just wary of Basire's Tremor Fruit ability and the Impel Down prisoner pirates under his command.
If the Big Mom Pirates choose to go head-to-head with the Big Daddy Pirates, then the islands of Totto Land and Katakuri's younger brothers and sisters will suffer heavy losses.
Basire didn't care about the life or death of the prisoner pirates, but Katakuri didn't want to lose any of his younger siblings.
When he thought of the horrific consequences of a war with the Big Daddy Pirates, Katakuri immediately went to his mother to discuss it.
Even if a war begins, it cannot be fought in the territory of the Big Mom Pirates, otherwise the only losses will be the islands of Totto Land.
They wanted to take the initiative and block Basire from reaching their territory.
In fact, Katakuri did not expect that Basire would not focus on conquering Whitebeard's territory and consolidate his Yonkō position after killing Ochoku on Hachinosu Island.
Instead, because of the profits and losses of some islands, they dared to come to trouble the Big Mom Pirates.
This is not a good choice. It seems that Basire's ego is somewhat inflated and does not know how powerful the old Yonkō are.
Katakuri doesn't believe that the current Basire can beat Big Mom. Even if he has the ability of four devil fruits, he is still too young.
···
In the buffer area between Totto Land and the Whitebeard territory, the Groseade of the Big Daddy Pirates is currently chasing several pirate ships full of dessert features.
"Interesting! I didn't expect to be able to catch up with the small fleet of pirate ships that the Big Mom Pirates sent!"
Basire looked at the pirate ships that looked like cakes and showed a faint smile.
Although this buffer sea area does not belong to the original Whitebeard's territory, it is not the territory of the Big Mom Pirates either. If they kill them here, they can only blame their poor strength!
"The Big Mom Pirates robbed more than a dozen of our islands this time, and they must pay the price!"
The Pirate Empress Boa Hancock said coldly. Now she has regarded all of Whitebeard's territory as Basire's territory by default.
The Big Mom Pirates dared to take advantage of the situation and plunder the resources and treasures of so many islands. This account must be settled.
"Captain, we seem to have caught a big fish!!"
"It's Charlotte Smoothie, who ranks second among the Four Sweet Commanders, with a bounty of 932 million beris."
Lafitte waved his white wings quickly in the distance, returned to the island ship, and reported excitedly to Basire.
This time it may be because the leader of the Sweet Commanders went to the Summit War, so the second strongest Minister of Juice Smoothie was in charge of this plundering mission, and she was also responsible for covering the retreat of the other plundering fleets.
"Oh, what a coincidence? Smoothie is Big Mom's strongest daughter, so we can't let her go!"
Basire raised his eyebrows, his eyes brightened, and he immediately ordered to speed up the pursuit.
"Forget it, I will do it myself!"
Seeing these pirate ships rushing back to Totto Land, Basire could not help but transform into a dragon and fly over.
Lafitte and Nami, officials with the ability to fly, flew over immediately.
The powerful ones like the Pirate Empress and Shiryu of the Rain just stared slightly.
If the captain takes action so quickly, what will be left for them to do?
In front of these three pirate ships, under the sea surface of the Totto Land sea area, some troops responsible for surveillance quickly discovered the islands in the air that were chasing their own pirate ships.
Continuous alarms were quickly transmitted back to Cake Island.
In fact, even if they hadn't conveyed the information, Smoothie on the pirate ship would have already asked Big Mom for help.
After all, facing Basire, the new Yonkō, even Charlotte Smoothie, who is one of the four Sweet Commanders, is very nervous.
You must know that Basire is a ruthless man who has successively killed Golden Lion Shiki, Whitebeard and Ochoku, each of them legendary veteran pirates.
"Citron, Cinnamon, you retreat from under the sea, I will stop the Big Daddy Pirates!"
Smoothie said sternly to her two sisters. The triplets were all descendants of the Long-Legs tribe and usually acted together.
She is the strongest here, and she is also a devil fruit user. Only she has a hope of delaying Basire, while her two sisters who are not as strong can jump into the sea and leave.
The unit controlled by the half-mermaid Charlotte Praline can cover their retreat to Cake Island under the sea.
"Sister, let's stop the Big Daddy Pirates together. Mom and Katakuri-nii are already on their way. We won't be afraid of this little devil Basire!"
Charlotte Citron immediately said that as the Minister of Eggs, she also has good combat power.
"That's right, sister, together we can stop Basire for a while."
Charlotte Cinnamon also pulled out her long sword and looked at the island in the sky with a cold face. She had long legs, which were no less impressive than Smoothie's, and her figure was even better than Smoothie's.
"Fool!!"
Smoothie wanted to give her two sisters a slap in the face, but when she saw the red dragon flying over quickly, she had no choice but to stop.
'Juicy Giant!'
Smoothie immediately activated her squeezing ability, sucking most of the water on the pirate ship into her body. She expanded rapidly, and the sword in her hand also grew in size, turning into a giant swordswoman in the blink of an eye.
She faced the red dragon flying through the air, suddenly charged up her strength, and swung out a powerful strike that could split the sea.
A V-shaped sword mark hundreds of meters long appeared on the sea surface in an instant, and the sharp sword energy rushed towards the dragon.
