Pirate's Freedom

In the capital of flowers, in a wine shop.

"Hey!"

The noisy voices were suppressed.

"Did you hear that?!"

A diner put down his glass and said loudly to the people sitting around him.

"The master who drove away the big snake is going to hold a big banquet!"

"What does a big banquet have to do with us?"

A person next to him said indifferently.

"At most, only officials and warriors can participate!"

"This time is different!"

the diners shouted.

"That lord..."

Gudong!

He took a big gulp of wine into his mouth and then spoke.

"He's going to give a banquet to everyone in the country!"

His face turned red and he said excitedly.

"At that time, we can also taste what the general eats!"

"..."

The people around were silent for a while, and suddenly someone shouted loudly.

"Shopkeeper, add a plate of edamame!"

The shopkeeper came over and put a plate of edamame on the table.

"How can you just drink?" Another diner said kindly, pushing the edamame over, "Here, eat two edamame."

"Thanks, man."

While drinking edamame and drinking wine, the happy diners hurriedly thanked them.

"Thank you for the treat."

"..."

Facing the door, the drinker looked up and saw someone running past.

"Why are the underworld in such a hurry lately?"

He easily recognized the other party's identity based on his temperament, he said with some confusion.

"You can see them everywhere. Are there that many people in Haogoro's family?"

Hearing this, the person next to him glanced out the door inadvertently, was suddenly startled, and ran out the door quickly.

"I know that guy!"

After a while, he stood at the door and shouted loudly.

"He is the underworld of Tuwan, a member of the [Blood Letters] Great Government!"

Immediately afterwards, someone else remembered something and also interjected.

"I also saw it, a group of gangsters all wearing tattered hats."

The person who spoke added, "On the street in front."

"what?!"

Someone familiar with this look exclaimed.

"Those are [Hakasa] Tsunagoro's men!"

at this time--

From far to near, dense footsteps came from outside.

"Hey! Look!"

The few people who were still walking in immediately rushed out again.

"Is it possible, that is..."

Two hairpins fixed her butterfly-wing-like hairstyle, with long fluffy bangs covering her right eye. She was wearing a kimono with flame patterns, and her bare right arm was covered with flowers. The charming woman was walking in Tingting. on the street.

"[Xiyan] Adie!"

Next to him, there was a man with messy hair and a beard, thick and long eyebrows, slender eyes with raised corners, a big mouth and a hooked nose, and a rough-looking man with his upper body kimono tied around his waist, and his chest covered with chest hair was bare.

"[Snake Eyes] Ya Taihei!"

A large number of gangsters with serious faces and swords followed the two men and walked past the door of the wine shop.

"No way!"

Most of the people crowded to the door in shock.

"All the gangster bosses from all over the country have entered the Flower Capital?!"

Some people are full of worries and have bad associations.

"What happened again?"

"……belch!"

Behind everyone, a loud wine belch suddenly sounded.

"Didn't you read the notice posted at the entrance of [Orochi City]?"

“Also, today’s [Tile Banner] is clearly written on it.”

As one of the few people still sitting on the chair, the diner with a piece of edamame spoke drunkenly.

"Boss Leopard has invited all the underworld bosses from all over the countryside and asked them to help the gentleman hold a banquet."

"..."

After a while of silence—

“Where’s today’s [tile version]?!”

The diner who ordered edamame was the first to react.

"Is there anything else for sale somewhere?!"

"It must be sold out! Go to the tower of [Orochi City] quickly!"

For a moment, there was a sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground, and soon it fell silent again.

"That's wrong. It's not [Orochi City]. It's called... [Food is Heaven] now."

The diner thought hard for a moment.

"They've all run away, who's going to pay the bill?"

"Boss, remember clearly, this dish of edamame was invited to me by someone, not what I ordered."

The drunken diners looked at it carefully for a long time.

"boss?"

The store was empty, no one was there.

……

In the center of the Flower Capital is the original [Orochi City] tower.

The words "Food is Heaven" are written on it, and a huge plaque with gold characters on a black background is hung on it.

When Yamada reported that someone else wanted to see him, Tata Tot, who was holding a kitchen knife, was still rummaging in the kitchen and thinking hard.

"I'm still thinking-"

Walking into the reception room, he had some idea.

"Will the world government come to disrupt the situation?"

Wearing a white suit and a mask that depicts facial features but lacks eyes, [Not Looking] is sitting upright on the tatami.

"Hmm... the mask on your face... looks familiar."

"Really?" [Not looking] looked a little surprised.

"I believe that one of my colleagues has had the honor to meet Your Excellency."

"The gap between your colleague and you is a bit big."

Tata Tot walked to the opposite side of [Not Looking] and sat down.

"Let's get straight to the point," he said straightforwardly to [Buy] without any intention of beating around the bush. He was full of thoughts.

"What does the World Government want from me?"

"Because of Dr. Vegapunk's research breakthrough."

There was no hiding anything, [without looking] speaking openly and honestly.

"The world government urgently needs more sea tower stones."

"Huh? Is it okay? Tell me such a thing?"

After looking at him carefully, Tata Tot was a little surprised.

"Lord Rao, it seems that you have some slight misunderstandings about me."

Changing the topic, [Don't look] said without changing his expression.

"Oh?"

Tata Tot became interested.

"My trip is only on behalf of myself, not the world government."

[Not looking] leaned forward and lowered his head slightly, with a sincere expression.

"Interesting, so what do you want from me?"

Whether it was true or not, Tata Tot was really interested in being able to say something like this even though he was CP0.

"I just want to invite Lord Rao to participate in a new game."

Success or failure depends on this move, [Don't Look] becomes more and more serious.

"The current battle between [Hundred Beasts] Kaido and Kozuki Oden in [Wano Country] will be decided in another way."

I haven’t forgotten the task above, [Don’t Look] said frankly.

"Of course, I also want a chance to get the Sea Tower Stone."

"I already understand," Tata Tot said with a half-smile.

"If you think your chips won't be on the table, just don't bet."

"Are you trying to take advantage of the situation?"

"My lord, what do you think?"

Without denying it, [without looking] asked him directly.

"It's such an interesting thing, I have no reason to disagree."

Tata Tot didn't care about [not looking].

"However, the rules and content of the game are determined by me."

Tata Tot gave him a meaningful look.

"is that OK?"

"Absolutely not."

[Not looking] nodded without hesitation and said.

“Whatever you have in mind, World Government has your back.”

"after all--"

Taking a deep breath, [Don't look] looked very serious.

"When this new order takes shape, we never want to see two consecutive [Emperors] defeated by the same person."
