Chapter89

Opportunity x rupture x greeting

——In darkness, there is no limit to the way forward

Fortunately there is still light

--------------------------------

"Lord Katakuri, I received a contact request from Cake Island three hours ago. You see..."

Katakuri happened to go out three hours ago and did not stay on the ship.

Katakuri took the phone bug he handed over, dismissed everyone behind him, walked into the room with steady steps, and sat down on the large and comfortable sofa.

When I dialed the phone, the sound that came into my ears was surprising.

[Katakuri, my favorite son]

"mother"

I thought it was just a routine contact, or maybe the disturbing brothers and sisters were looking for him. Unexpectedly, the call was answered by my mother herself.

It looks like something happened

Katakuri's lowered eyes could not clearly see his emotions. He thought for a moment and still couldn't figure out the reason why his mother suddenly contacted him.

[Did you get what you wanted during this outing?]

“No progress yet”

Mom usually doesn't ask too much about their whereabouts, but a few days ago, after Snag was defeated by the "Weird Monk", one of the supernovas who knew nothing about the sky and the earth, the four dessert generals removed him and became three generals.

Mom will inevitably pay more attention to the movements of the three of them.

[Is there anything you find difficult?]

Mom didn't seem to want to let this topic go, so Katakuri could only find an excuse to talk about it first.

"The information is wrong and there are some delays."

[If that’s the case, don’t waste any more time]

[Come back, Katakuri]

[Now there is great news, you will definitely be happy to hear it]

Katakuri's eyes paused. He waited for his mother to finish talking about what the so-called "good news" was, and he had a vague guess in his heart.

[The Vinsmoke boy is found]

As soon as these words came out, he instantly raised his eyebrows.

[Charlotte’s family has not had such a happy event for a long time. This wedding must be well prepared]

[How could you not be here at this time, Katakuri]

"I know, I'll return as soon as possible"

[It’s really exciting]

The phone hung up, Katakuri put the phone bug's speaker back on its back, Xuxu looked somewhere with eyes full of thoughts.

Now that the person has been found, the marriage candidate of the Vinsmoke family is already confirmed.

Selustine would not be that option

Without the shortcut of marriage, it would be almost impossible for Cracker to snatch Seleustin away under the protection of red hair. By then, his plan would have completely failed.

With his character, he will definitely not accept this fact calmly.

So he will definitely do something

The most convenient and direct way is to get rid of the current marriage candidates, so that Gaji, who has no choice, will focus on Seleustin.

How could Katakuri let Cracker succeed?

He is different from Cracker. Now Seleustin trusts him very much and is even closer to him than before.

Even if he doesn't rely on marriage, Seleustin will become his person sooner or later.

So for Katakuri, the existence of red hair is not an insurmountable obstacle at all.

If the red hair really becomes an obstacle, Katakuri will seize Seleustin even if he resorts to force to completely oppose him.

Fight for what you want. For pirates, this is a simple truth.

Now, it's time to leave

Katakuri stood up with a shudder and picked up another phone bug in the corner of the room.

Its whole body is pale pink, and it also wears sunglasses. The shell on its back is also pink and has a furry texture.

The smiling face with a cross printed on the shell is clearly the coat of arms of the Don Quixote family.

Doflamingo is a famous intermediary in the dark world, codenamed "Joker". He can do all kinds of business, both black and white.

Katakuri didn't have much contact with him, but he knew a little bit about Doflamingo.

"Joker"'s most famous big customer now is "Hundred Beasts" Kaido. The root of the transaction lies in the artificial devil fruit created by his scientist M. Caesar Courant.

This has long been rumored among the top forces in the dark world, and it is considered an unconfirmed "secret"

Although artificial Devil Fruits are coveted, Caesar's own abilities have also attracted the attention of many people

including mom

Mom has always wanted to build a country that includes all races, but now the whole grand plan is missing the last piece, that is the giant race

It's a pity that everyone knows Elbaf's dislike of his mother. A rare opportunity to ease the relationship was ruined by Laura. After this, it is basically impossible to absorb the giants into the world.

However, the Charlotte family seemed to have plundering what they wanted engraved in their bones, and they never gave up.

Since real giants are not possible, then making humans giant is also a good choice.

Based on these factors, things will become logical after that.

Mom made a deal with "Joker"

All nations provided the money needed for the experiment, and Doflamingo used his forces to obtain suitable experimental subjects and experimental bases. Finally, his subordinate Caesar began to study how to enlarge humans.

This was originally a seamless cooperation. Everyone got what they needed and everyone was happy.

The premise is that if the experiment can make progress

"Joker, it's time"

"Give the people to me"

After the call was answered, Katakuri directly stated the purpose of his visit.

No one answered, only Doflamingo's low laughter could be heard.

As early as a month ago, the two made a deal

He didn't bother Doflamingo, and he didn't expose to his mother the fact that Caesar's experiment had no results at all.

On the contrary, Doflamingo must keep Seleustin and hand him over to him when the time comes.

Now that the marriage is basically stable, he must return to Wan Guo immediately

The time has come to take Seleustin away

[Fufufufufu, are you happy in Dressrosa this month? I am very considerate and let her go to you every day]

Doflamingo's tone was a little strange, which made Katakuri frown.

He knew that Seleustin's ability to see him every day must be the result of Doflamingo not intervening too much, but today was different from the past.

Today he went to the place agreed upon by the two of them as usual, but did not wait for Seleustin

[The Caesar thing is indeed a headache, but you know, no one can tell the progress of the experiment. It may take another year to see results, and maybe the finished product will be available tomorrow]

[After all, it didn’t ruin the deal between us, right?]

[So, I changed my mind]

After hearing this, how could Katakuri not understand what he meant?

"Doflamingo, let me say it one last time."

"Leave Seleustin to me."

The veins on his forehead popped out, his eyes turned scarlet, and the aura around him was terrifying.

"This is not a discussion with you."

If Doflamingo insists on stopping him, he will demolish Dressrosa's palace and take Seleu away.

[Fufufu, I’m really angry, if you want to do something, just do it]

[It’s just that some of my employers are not good-tempered people]

[What would he do if the most important deal of all time went wrong? ]

This is undoubtedly an allusion to Kaido

"Then let's see if you have the courage to bear the anger from both sides."

If Doflamingo was still smart, he wouldn't really threaten him with artificial devil fruits.

After all, although this would incur Kaido's wrath for him, Doflamingo, who faced Kaido's dissatisfaction directly, was not much better.

After hanging up the phone, the table shattered under his palm. Katakuri's eyes looking down from top to bottom made people feel terrified.

Did Doflamingo really think he didn't dare to touch him?

If you want to compete with him, you have to see if you have enough weight.

At this time, on the sea near Dressrosa——

The red-haired man was wearing his most common black cloak, holding a fishing rod and sitting boredly on the deck fishing.

“How long will it take to arrive?”

He heard the footsteps behind him and asked without looking back. He looked fixedly at a certain place in the void. His tone sounded a little lazy, but Beckman could hear the anxiety hidden in it.

"If nothing else happens, tomorrow"

When Seleu told them her location, the Foss was still in the back half of the New World. Considering the changeable ocean currents and occasional supply needs along the way, reaching Dressrosa in half a month is already the fastest way. Speed ​​up

Shanks replied with an unexplained breath, narrowed his eyes and looked at his own swim bladder, and spoke again after a while.

"Pick Seliu up immediately when you arrive, don't delay"

Beckman nodded behind him. He knew the reason for Shanks's instructions.

Originally, the red-haired pirates planned to pick up Seleucid, and Seleucid herself was not in a hurry. She didn't tell her why she was stranded in Dressrosa, and Shanks didn't ask.

But when I think that Dressrosa belongs to "Tenyasha", the man secretly codenamed "Joker", I don't worry about Selustine's current situation.

Just the evening before yesterday, Seleustin called Shanks as usual.

The call came in earlier than usual that day. It was dinner time on the Foss, so the call was picked up at the dinner table.

She first said hello to everyone at the table, and then slowly spoke amidst the laughter.

[Shanks? ]

"Ah, I'm here"

[It’s time]

Seleustin's tone was a little strange. It couldn't be said to be happy, but there was a hint of relief that everything was about to settle.

Everyone at the table was aware of this unusual atmosphere and gradually stopped talking.

Shanks heard Seleustin's voice in the silence

[Come and get me, Shanks]

[I'll wait for you in Dressrosa]

Shanks put down the fishing rod in his hand and stood up

Looking straight at the empty sea-sky connection line in the distance

“After playing out for so long, it’s time to go home.”

He smiled, determined and gentle

"I'll be there soon, wait for me"

"Seleu"

The light shell hanging on his waist swayed gently with the sea breeze

Faintly, there was a bright white light
