Enel went to find King Riku to secure his startup funds, while Cyrus pondered whether there was anything left to do here.
However, the matters in Dressrosa had been resolved.
As the first island along this specific route into the New World, establishing the Hunter Guild branch here was sufficient.
'As for other routes...' Cyrus shook his head after so thought.
There were too many islands—it was impossible to establish a branch on every inhabited rock.
This was a unique aspect of this world after all, the entire globe was scattered across countless islands, both large and small.
Most people on these islands would spend their entire lives living only on their own shorelines, never seeing the world beyond.
"Cyrus!" Just as he was deep in thought, Robin walked in, followed by two tall won: Hancock and Baby 5.
"Get ready, it's ti to set off," Cyrus stood up.
"Alright," Robin nodded.
With the affairs in Dressrosa completed, the remaining tasks could be left to the people of the island.
The branch here would be established with the help of Violet and the others assisting Enel.
"There's no need for your ship to follow along," Cyrus looked at Hancock.
Hancock herself was quite strong, so having her on the ship would be a net gain.
However, the Kuja pirates on the Perfu Yuda didn't need to co along.
Or rather, they might not even be able to keep up.
After all, the Rose Hunter was a fla-powered ship.
"Alright! Also, I plan to establish a branch of the Hunter Guild on Amazon Island as well," Hancock declared, though it sounded like a question.
"Then establish it!" Cyrus naturally had no reason to refuse this.
However, given the Calm Belt and the isolated situation on Amazon lily Island, it was clear that this branch wouldn't serve much practical purpose.
Amazon lily Island could handle its own affairs.
After all, it wasn't yet ti for the Hunter Guild to truly exert its influence on a global scale.
As Cyrus prepared to set sail again, King Riku and the others ca to see him off.
"Do well. I have high hopes for you, God of Thunder!" Cyrus patted Enel on the shoulder, his tone full of trust and expectation.
"Don't worry, Guild Master, I'll definitely do a good job," Enel thumped his chest emphatically, a clear testant to Cyrus's successful persuasion.
Watching as the Rose Hunter and the Perfu Yuda sailed off in their respective directions, Riku turned to Enel.
"Are we really going to deliver those pirates to the Marines to collect the bounties?" Riku couldn't help but feel that sothing about this plan wasn't quite right.
"That's my money we're talking about!" Enel glared at the suggestion.
This was the startup fund Cyrus had left for him, though he seed to have forgotten that he was the one who had actually captured these pirates.
"I see, I understand," Riku nodded.
But with Enel here, at least Dressrosa's safety was sowhat guaranteed.
After all, even pirates with bounties in the hundreds of millions couldn't last more than a few rounds against Enel.
It seed the Hunter Guild had quite a few hidden powerhouses.
...
At Whole Cake Island.
A furious roar echoed as Conqueror's Haki erupted, pressing down upon the entire island.
"Bastards, when will the desserts arrive?!" Perospero, the eldest son of the Charlotte Family and the Minister of Candy, shouted anxiously.
But at this mont, no one could respond to him.
Those with weaker wills had already fallen unconscious under the impact of the King's Haki.
Among the Charlotte family mbers present, except for a few, all wore expressions of terror, turning to flee.
A crazed Big Mom would unconsciously attack everything around her and instinctively release her ability, stealing the lifespans of those nearby.
Even Big Mom's own children were not spared, this had happened many tis before.
Katakuri, wearing his thick scarf covering his mouth, watched as the frenzied Big Mom approached his younger siblings and instinctively raised his weapon.
"Katakuri, what the hell are you trying to do?" Noticing Katakuri's movent, Perospero widened his eyes and roared.
"We must stop Mama!" Katakuri spoke while Conqueror's Haki faintly erupted from his own body.
Then, a sweet aroma filled the air.
Charlotte Linlin, whose eyes were red with madness, slled the sweet scent and cald down, turning to look in the direction from which the fragrance ca.
Dozens of people were pushing a massive cake toward them.
The chefs pushing the cake all wore terrified expressions, except for the short old man walking alongside them.
"Linlin, the cake is here," Streusen called out.
Charlotte Linlin turned and walked to the cake, sitting down beside it.
She reached out, grabbed a large piece of cream, and shoved it in her mouth.
The imnse pressure vanished, and everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief.
They all watched as Charlotte Linlin sat by the cake, eating voraciously.
Katakuri relaxed, set his weapon aside, and crossed his arms as he watched Big Mom eat.
"Katakuri, you were about to attack Mama earlier, weren't you?"
After just a few bites, Charlotte Linlin had recovered from her chaotic frenzy.
While eating heartily, she turned to look at her strongest son.
"No, Mama!" Katakuri shook his head.
He had only wanted to stop Big Mom from going berserk.
"Mamamamama, is that so? What a good son you are," Charlotte Linlin let out a strange laugh, though it was unclear whether she believed Katakuri's words.
Just as everyone had relaxed, feeling that the crisis had been resolved, Charlotte Linlin suddenly stood up.
"Napoleon!" Charlotte Linlin roared.
The pirate hat on her head ca to life.
"Yes, Mama!" The hat transford into a long sword.
Charlotte Linlin picked up the weapon, causing those nearby to stop in their tracks, staring at her in horror.
Katakuri frowned slightly, then abruptly looked up at the sky.
"Zeus!" Charlotte Linlin called out again.
The cute version of the thundercloud instantly expanded, turning into a nacing black storm.
Charlotte Linlin jumped onto the thundercloud and shot up into the sky.
Boom!
Thunder rumbled in the sky.
Earlier, when Charlotte Linlin's hunger pang had triggered the release of Conqueror's Haki, it had affected the sky, forming dense, gloomy clouds.
Now, lightning flashed within the clouds, and a massive dragon circled among them.
"Kaido!"
Soaring upward, Charlotte Linlin gripped her sword with both hands as the Homie Protheus attached itself directly to the blade.
The enormous dragon in the thundercloud vanished after another clap of thunder, and a tall figure burst out from the clouds, descending toward Charlotte Linlin.
Kaido of the Beasts.
Kaido, brandishing his spiked club overhead like a windmill, fixed his gaze on the charging Emperor.
BOOM!
Their Conqueror's Haki clashed, the massive shockwave dispersing nearby clouds as residual ripples spread downward.
Two towering figures gripped their massive weapons, locked in a stalemate mid-air.
Black lightning crackled violently between their unconnected weapons.
