Pirate's Freedom

Katakuri already knew what the other party wanted to report through his [foreseeing the future] level of insight and knowledge.

Without receiving any alarm, Baron Eggy was solved quietly, and——

Katakuri frowned.

Was Armand attacked on Nut Island and controlled by the invaders?

Leave the prisoners alone, the invaders are powerful but few in number...

Thinking of this, he made a prompt decision and ordered Homiz, who was making a fuss next to him.

"Go and call Brother Perros up, and leave the security of the venue to him."

After saying that, he walked towards the entrance of the rooftop.

"I'll go to the [Treasure Room]."

……

The venue has been decorated.

The sound of soft music echoed in the air, and the teapot was pouring tea into the teacup.

Huge pastries are piled everywhere not only as food but also as decorations.

"smell good."

Stussy walked in the front, and the air was filled with sweet smell.

"please come in."

The door of the venue politely sends out an invitation.

“Every time I go to a delicious place~”

Du Felder, who followed closely behind, sighed.

"Guests, welcome."

The welcome guest at the venue is Charlotte Smoothie, a 14-year-old daughter of the Charlotte family who is also a person with the ability to squeeze fruits.

"How about a welcome drink?"

Just as Smoothie was about to make an introduction, he saw Katakuri quickly walking out of the venue without even saying hello.

Brother Katakuri, why would you leave at this time...

Smoothie felt a little confused and uneasy. She knew that Katakuri's responsibilities could allow him to leave at this time. Something urgent must have happened.

"Oh, what happened?"

Morgans leaned over with interest and looked at Katakuri leaving from a distance.

"If anything happens, please let me know."

"Intelligence chief——"

Du Felder held the cigar between his stubby fingers, exhaled a puff of smoke and sneered.

"You are really worried that the world will not be in chaos."

"You loan shark!"

Morgens got so angry that he almost thrust his beak into Du Felder's face.

"How many times have I said that I am a journalist!"

"I want that."

Stusy seemed not to be interested in anything that had just happened, and her slender fingers pointed at a magnet floating in the air.

"Me too."

Morgans also regained his composure.

"I understand, I'll make it right now."

Smoothie put his doubts to the bottom of his heart and began to use his ability to make cups of [juice] for the distinguished guests...

……

Cake Island, Temptation Forest.

Wearing a white shirt and a light blue jacket on the upper body, and a pair of blue and black tights on the lower body, Wu Nu stood helpless on the ground after regaining his freedom.

"Would you like to come with me and give your daughter a hug?"

After confirming his eyes, Tata Tot stretched out his hand towards him. After hesitating for a moment, Unu slowly placed his hand on the back of Tata Tot's hand.

"but……"

After taking a look at Wu Nu's tattered coat and dirty appearance, especially the yellow bow tied on her head, it was simply unbearable to look at.

"First impression is very important."

Appearance is not important, character is important. This kind of words are just words. Children, especially, will instinctively get close to those who are beautiful.

"After all, it's [The Return of the God of War], you can't just appear like this."

Compared with Charlotte Lingling, who can still be called charming, Wu Nu has already lost half the battle. If he just rushes over like this——

For Wu Nu, this is completely a suicidal act.

If anyone really thinks——

Just saying "I am your father" can make two little girls hug and cry with a homeless man dressed like a pervert, so all I can say is - there is everything in the dream.

"Let me think about it..."

……

Cake City, in the [Treasure Room].

Boxes filled with treasures were stacked around the two-story high hall. In the most conspicuous position opposite the door, two square stones were placed behind the cold iron railings.

Facing the two pieces of [History Text] with different colors, Katakuri sat cross-legged on the ground, the phone bug in his hand stuck out its long tongue——

"Katakuri, what's going on with the intruder?"

"...So far, I haven't found anything."

"All suspicious persons will be reported to Homiz. It's almost time for you to come back -"

Perospero didn't care too much about the invaders, or in other words, he had full confidence in the power of the BIGMOM pirates.

"Today is my mother's wedding, you are not a dispensable character, lick~"

"Because it is my mother's wedding, all the BIGMOM pirates will gather on Cake Island. No matter who invades at this time, it will not be for a head-on war."

Katakuri calmly stated his conclusion.

"No matter how you think about the purpose of the intruder, I can't think of any other possibility besides my mother's [treasure room]."

"In that case, it's up to you, but Katakuri, you understand—"

Compared to the unknown intruder, Perospero was more concerned about another thing.

"I was absent from my mother's wedding and even entered the [Treasure Room]. If I can't catch the intruder, even if it's you, my mother won't let it go so easily, lick~"

"When the time comes, I will have an explanation with my mother, brother Perros."

With a click, Katakuri hung up the phone.

……

Cake Island, Temptation Forest.

After taking a bath, Wu Nu was no longer dirty. After completing the initial preparations, Tata Tot also stepped onto the battlefield——

"First of all, there is something wrong with this hairstyle. It looks messy. Straighten it all."

With his hands red and hot steam coming out, Tata Tot disappeared instantly, and layers of figures appeared around Unu——

"Mysterious Hair Straightener!"

After a short moment, as if a special effect had been added, Unu's fluffy and messy curly long hair fell down smoothly, flowing in the wind like willow silk.

"The beard is too thick, but don't shave it all off. Leave some embarrassing stubble... um... more."

In the flash of lightning, replaying Cyrus's fast sword and Armand's slow sword in his mind, Tata Tot stretched out his hands and put his palms together to form a knife——

"Mysterious Shaver!"

Seemingly slow but actually fast, seemingly fast but actually slow, as Tata Tote waved his hands, the sharp-edged mustache and light beard gradually took shape on Unu's face.

"Eyebrows...you don't have eyebrows, that's okay. I'll just plant two for you."

Tata Tot gently picked up the beards flying in the air and smiled slightly——

"Mysterious meaning: change your eyebrows!"

Two thick and broad sword eyebrows quickly appeared above Wu Nu's eyes.

At this point, the hardware is almost ready, and the next step is the software——

"The eyes should be more melancholic, not watery, forget it..."

Seeing Unu's confused eyes, Tata Tot tried his best to tell him a play.

"The world is round, did you know?"

"...?"

Wu Nu was a little confused, but nodded.

"I know."

"Imagine that you are the only one in the world who knows about it. You tell others and they don't believe it. How painful it is to not be understood. That's how it feels."

Not knowing what he recalled, Wu Nu's eyes gradually darkened, and a feeling of sadness and helplessness flowed out of him.

"It's okay, I'll just settle for seventy points. The next item -"

"Posture, posture is strength. Don't always move your hands around. Place your hands on your lower abdomen...in front of your belly, and put your hands flat together."

Focusing on Wu Nu's movements, Tata Tot quickly discovered a bunch of problems. As a last resort, he could only find the simplest solution.

"Why do you always have such a droopy face? You need to stand up!"

"...Does this...really work...?"

Wu Nu was still immersed in a melancholy atmosphere, and his voice was full of powerlessness.

"Of course, you don't want to be treated as a pervert or something by your own daughter."

"..."

"Okay, next-"

Expression management must also be done well.

"The corners of your mouth! The corners of your mouth should be slightly upward!"

"You are a genius that is not understood by the world. Your wisdom, your paranoia, your elegance, your aloof attitude..."

As for character design, as long as the problem of character design is solved, the remaining problems are just minor problems. Tata Tot finally found the right path.
