Chapter 116: The Ways of the World, Encounter with the Whitebeard Pirates

Cake Island, the capital of Totland.

Queen's Hall.

"The children on Liqueur Island were attacked by Roger and his gang?" Charlotte Linling was unwilling to believe the news reported by the guard.

She has always had a good relationship with Roger.

Not to the extent that they would go to war with us as soon as they arrived in Totland.

"The Minister of Biscuits, Cracker, and many other ministers learned the news and immediately went to stop it."

"No, call all of them back. It's too stupid to go to war with Roger." Lingling knew very well that even if all her children were mobilized.

They can't defeat the Roger Pirates today.

Most of the children are in their teens and twenties and are still growing up.

The Minister of Wine brought Roger to Charlotte Lingling.

"Mom, Roger wants to see you in person for something." The wine minister entered the hall and knelt on the red carpet to salute Lingling.

Roger entered the Queen's Hall and looked at the flag soldiers standing in two rows around him: "Have you given souls to these objects, Lingling? There are such guards everywhere along the way."

After saying that, he looked straight at the person in front of him who was almost nine meters tall.

Although she has gained weight, one can still see that Lingling still has some of the peerless beauty she had in the past.

Roger, who was somewhat face-blind, did not recognize the person in front of him, so he asked curiously, "Who are you?"

Seeing that Roger was so rude and didn't even recognize her, Lingling slowly stood up from the throne.

The hat on his head quickly turned into a huge knife in his hand.

"Napoleon...Are you Lingling? You are not as good as you were more than ten years ago. Your flawless body has become like this."

Lingling, who had a curvy figure and stunning looks back then.

Roger now saw her as a bloated old lady.

"Go to hell...Roger!" Lingling's face turned dark, and she swung a knife at Roger in a rage.

"Uh...wait, Lingling, I came to talk to you about something!" Seeing this, Roger hurriedly explained.

I thought, judging from my relationship with Lingling, she wouldn't care at all about what I said.

Now I see that just one sentence can make the other person angry.

Seeing that the other party was not going to stop, Roger drew his sword and swung at her.

Boom!

For a moment, the fight between the two caused the Cake Tower in the central capital of Cake Island to shake violently.

"If you have anything to say, wait till you die, you bastard!"

"Lingling, stop it! You got a strange red stone from overseas, right?" Roger asked her.

Then he slashed her away from him with a sword, and the difference in strength was obvious at a glance.

Lingling was beaten back with a look of horror on her face. She stared at Roger with a knowing smile, "It's useless. Even if you collect them all, you can't decipher the ancient text on them."

"Only the people of Wano Country and the scholars on Ohara can understand it. You can't decipher the text, and you can't reach the final island."

"Take your group of troublemakers and leave my country immediately. The World Government has attacked, and I don't want this place to become a battlefield."

Listening carefully to Lingling's words, Roger did not intend to return empty-handed, and said to her:

"It doesn't matter what the government is, Lingling. If you don't give it to me, don't blame me for being rude."

"You are too arrogant, Roger!" Feeling threatened, Lingling chopped at Roger with all her might, not intending to hand over the historical text easily.

"There's nothing I can do. I don't have much time left." Roger stopped Napoleon and said to Lingling with a smile.

"Uh..." Lingling was shocked when she heard that. She used her hands to pull the knife away from Roger. "What do you mean? Do you know what you are saying?"

"I have...a terminal illness."

The other party is the leader of the Big Mom Pirates, and is also a person with connections who has been fighting for many years.

Roger saw no need to hide.

……

Mirror world.

Arthur's eyes moved quickly, his body floated like a feather, and he used his observation Haki to dodge Nuotuan's fist attack.

"I can't hit him, damn it, the gap is too big." Katakuri kept using the Mochi-Mochi Fruit and added his domineering power to attack Arthur.

He found that the other party was just dodging and had no intention of attacking him.

It feels like the other person is treating you as a toy.

As his combat experience accumulated, Arthur gradually felt.

Sometimes, observation Haki is more important than armament Haki and domineering Haki.

Work hard to cultivate your observation skills and quickly dodge to avoid harm.

It can better increase combat endurance, instead of relying solely on physical strength to withstand it.

Sooner or later, he will be killed.

Katakuri couldn't accept the fact that he couldn't beat others, and his inner fighting spirit burst out completely.

In the interval between attacks, his body turned into a sticky mess and he took out a trident (earth dragon) from his right arm.

At an extremely fast speed, he uses the ability of the Mochi-Mochi Fruit to turn his arm into a glutinous ball that surrounds the trident weapon, then makes his arm continuously rotate and stab forward.

"Nutuan thrust!"

Seeing his opponent using a powerful move, Arthur made a dragon claw fist with his right palm.

Wrapped in Haki, he swung his claws at the weapon, knocking Katakuri back from in front of him.

"What's the matter with not drawing your sword?" Katakuri, who was defeated, looked unwilling and asked while panting, "Are you looking down on me?"

The unwilling roar made Arthur rush towards him and stare at him with his sword drawn:

"not at all."

Such speed shocked Katakuri, who had followed Big Mom to fight since he was in his teens.

His proud observation Haki predicted it, and his body reacted instantly.

But he felt that his actions were inferior to Arthur who was about to draw his sword.

As slow as a turtle.

boom!

Arthur drew his sword in an instant and cut off Katakuri's right arm.

Since there was no domineering aura around him, the only injuries he suffered were a bunch of sticky balls and a broken trident.

"So that's what's happening!" Katakuri's arms swelled rapidly.

Rice cake spikes grow out of the skin, transforming into a wolf-tooth hammer-like shape and then combined with armed color domineering.

Then it spun at high speed and swung towards Arthur in front of him.

"Are you afraid that I can't withstand your blows, and are you pitying me?"

"Cut the rice cake!"

Seeing that there was no explanation, Arthur's expression turned cold, and the airflow of domineering color instantly covered the ice dragon.

Disappeared from the attack range of "Cut and Cut Rice Cake".

"It disappeared... No..." Katakuri was shocked, and the moves in his hands slammed into the ground, causing large-scale collapse of the ground.

Chopping and cutting rice cakes is very destructive.

This creates a deep hole in the ground.

The move failed, and Katakuri looked behind him and above his head.

Overwhelming lightning burst out on Arthur's body, like a red thunderbolt, slashing down fiercely through the air.

"Oh...!" Katakuri felt the destruction of Bachan.

The skin all over his body was torn apart, his internal organs were churning, and he was unable to resist at all.

"It hurts so much...I can't move..."

Katakuri discovered that his body could not be transformed into a rice cake under the suppression of Haki.

Completely lost the trump card of struggle.

"If you fight, you're already dead." Arthur responded to him.

A loud bang sounded, resounding throughout the mirror world.

Katakuri was slashed by Arthur into the deep pit he created.

After one cut, Arthur fell from mid-air to the edge of the deep pit, looking calmly at the thick smoke below.

“Katakuri-san…!” Brulee emerged from a nearby mirror.

He ran to the edge of the pit, lay on the ground and shouted downwards.

She couldn't believe that her brother, who she thought was invincible, was defeated so miserably.

She shouted, but didn't hear a response for a long time, so she looked up at Arthur beside her:

"Is…my brother still alive?"

She asked Arthur as if she were looking at a monster.

"Who knows?" Arthur responded to Bree and found that she had not become ugly yet.

The innocent face is still there, but there is a long scar on his face.

"Brother!" Brulee kept shouting towards the bottom of the pit: "Katakuri-san!"

After shouting for a while, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

She looked inside with a look of relief, and saw Katakuri lying at the bottom of the pit, gasping for breath, his body covered with bruises.

"It's time to fulfill our promise. Let me suggest that you prepare as much Bailey as your bounty." Arthur said to Katakuri inside.

"No problem! I will never make any excuses in my life. If I lose, I lose. You can take my life if you want!"

Katakuri seemed a little depressed, as if he had suffered a setback and a heavy blow.

But don't be discouraged.

“Once life dies, it has no meaning.”

"The body is just a shell, consciousness and thoughts are the real masters..."

Arthur told him that he didn't want to kill him.

Once he is killed, the Big Mom Pirates will definitely go all out to fight Roger.

The loss outweighs the gain, so you might as well take some money and make your life a little better.

Perhaps Arthur said that because he had killed too many people.

"Brulee, give him 200 million Baileys, the funds of my bounty, and I will accept the loss."

"I'll go right away, Katakuri-nii!"

Brulee ran into the surrounding mirrors and chose the island area ruled by Katakuri.

Katakuri eased the pain in his body for a while and climbed out of the pit.

He looked up at Arthur, who had a dull look on his face and showed no sense of accomplishment.

His fangs were being watched like this.

It has been more than ten years since I have let anyone see me in such a miserable state.

Katakuri climbed up and immediately lay on the ground, staring at Arthur in front of him:

"You see my mouth doesn't look weird."

"It is rumored that the Ten Thousand Nations is a utopia for all races." Arthur sheathed his knife, took a deep breath, and sat cross-legged on the ground, waiting for the money.

"Nothing surprising,"

The cold look and tone made Katakuri want to understand Arthur.

But when you look closely at him, you find that there is a thick black fog surrounding his body, isolating him from the crowd.

People can tell the result of the problem at a glance.

So, Katakuri said to himself: "Actually, this mouth is caused by eating too many donuts when I was two years old."

Arthur: "It has nothing to do with me. I'm just using you to study observation..."

"Well, observation Haki is my strong point, and I never thought that I would lose to a younger person of my age."

Seeing that Arthur was not interested, Katakuri stopped talking.

I have never seen such a cold person.

"Katakuri-nii! It's a mess outside!"

Brulee, who came back with the money, suddenly said.

"What happened? Brulee." Katakuri asked hurriedly.

"It is said that someone from the Roger Pirates hurt the children of Liqueur Island, and there was a fierce conflict between the Roger Pirates and the ministers."

"What?!" Katakuri looked at Arthur again with caution: "You guys don't have any conspiracy, do you? Do you know about this?"

"I used my domineering power to stun a few kids. Who told them to get close to me?" Arthur responded:
