"What is this..."
A strange sense of stillness washed over everyone’s hearts. It was as if the world had been overlaid with a bizarre filter and soone had pressed the pause button. Then ca bursts of glass-shattering sounds, densely ringing out.
"What, what?!!!"
After that eerie feeling passed, everyone heard the sound.
"Ka-ka-ka-ka-ka—!!!!"
The sound kept spreading. Luffy and the others who were in the Mirror World heard it too. Luffy looked around.
"What is that sound? Is glass about to shatter?!!!"
Being in the Mirror World, they instinctively thought so glass sowhere couldn’t take it anymore. But Brulee, the user of the Mirror-Mirror Fruit, had bloodshot eyes, because as the controller of the mirror world she could clearly feel that this wasn’t a problem with any particular mirror.
...
At the wedding venue, the Charlotte Family cadres and the guests who had co for the na of Big Mom and the Black Gun were all looking around in slight panic for the source of the sound. Only Katakuri, whose Observation Haki was extraordinary, widened his eyes and looked toward the wedding cake.
"No... it’s not glass..."
"That is..."
"Space!!!"
In the next second, cracks like those of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit began to appear on the wedding cake, gradually spreading and growing larger, until it completely shattered!!! The boundary between the Mirror World and the real world was forcibly smashed apart.
"Eh!!!???"
Nami, Chopper, and Brook, who were hiding in the Mirror World, were so scared at the sight that their souls nearly left their bodies. Brook’s soul actually left his body on the spot. Only Jinbe broke into a cold sweat but still barely kept his composure. Luffy was even more straightforward—he simply jumped out of the Mirror World and headed toward Big Mom.
"Na... nani?!!!"
Big Mom froze for a mont, then beca furious. Why was it that every ti she wanted to properly entertain Orin, wanted to let their relationship go a step further, even maybe develop a little possibility at a critical mont, these kinds of guys would pop out to stir things up?!!! Last ti it was Kaido. This ti it was Garp’s grandson!!! Orin didn’t know Big Mom had these little thoughts in her heart—otherwise he might even applaud Luffy and the others for crashing the wedding. He couldn’t even accept Linlin in her middle age, let alone her old age now.
Luffy appeared and wanted to smash the nun’s photo, but Katakuri stepped in in ti to stop him, and Big Mom’s attention was drawn over. On the other side, Jinbe first ca to Orin’s table, bowed seriously toward Orin, and said,
"Sorry, for disturbing your al."
Orin’s eyes shifted to Jinbe. He personally didn’t care about these things. After all, this wedding was created by Big Mom; it was just that the other party happened to be Orin’s adopted son, which made many people think this was also his intention. Orin had no intention of being soone else’s hired muscle, and he wouldn’t be swept along by rumors and act without regard for right or wrong just for the sake of face. He would only act for his own mood.
"No need to be so cautious..."
Orin looked at Jinbe, who was bowing and not getting up, his face full of cold sweat, and spoke in a fairly relaxed tone. After all, this was also one of the "forr Shichibukai" and had done quite a lot for Orin.
"Being able to watch such a big show while sipping tea and desserts can count as an after-dinner program."
"As for Sanji’s wedding and such, his life decision is for him to make. I’m a very open-minded father."
"That’s great..."
Only then did Jinbe straighten up, a smile appearing on his face. As long as Orin didn’t interfere, this operation against Big Mom, a Yonko, could still be carried out.
In contrast, Katakuri’s face was much darker, but he hadn’t expected Orin to help anyway, so he directly moved to capture Luffy himself. Against the mochi attack, Jinbe flung out a "Kata Guruma" with tea water and rescued Luffy.
"Jinbe?!!!"
Big Mom saw Jinbe’s figure and hadn’t expected this guy to join forces with the Straw Hat kid.
"Orin is also here. What do you an by stirring up trouble now?!!!"
Jinbe was not afraid at all. Facing the oppressive presence of Big Mom, a Yonko, he stood calmly in place.
"Since the Paramount War, I have stepped down from the position of [Shichibukai]. Everything I do is only because of my own will and has nothing to do with Orin!!!"
"I acknowledge Straw Hat Luffy’s will and resolve, and I’ve decided to join the Straw Hat Pirates!!!"
Big Mom was enraged by Jinbe’s attitude and words. The power of the Soul-Soul Fruit activated instantly, and a heart-gripping force radiated from her.
"Leave or life???"
The terrifying ntal pressure bore down on Jinbe, but he rely replied lightly,
"Life!!!"
He wouldn’t leave. If she had the ability to take his lifespan, then let her try.
Big Mom activated her ability and tried to take his lifespan, but suddenly discovered there was nothing she could take. She froze in astonishnt for a mont. Jinbe only looked back at her coldly and spoke straight out,
"I was once a [Shichibukai], and in the future I’ll be a man who becos a mber of the Pirate King’s crew. How could I possibly be afraid of just a Yonko?!!!"
Hearing this, Chopper and the others were moved to tears.
"So cool, Jinbe!!!"
In the distance, the corner of Orin’s mouth lifted almost imperceptibly. What a "just a Yonko." The Straw Hat crew’s success wasn’t just luck plus cheats. At least in terms of spirit, everyone’s ttle was up to standard. They didn’t, like those rookie pirates, subconsciously think a Yonko was an insurmountable mountain; instead, they worked to asure themselves against, even surpass, Yonko crews—then victory would beco a possibility.
Big Mom, at this mont, was instantly furious. Grabbing Protheus, she began a frenzied bombardnt. The entire venue fell into chaos. Only the direction where Orin was remained stable. And right then, Brook secretly smashed the nun’s photo with a single blow. The already chaotic scene completely turned into a battlefield.
Cannon fire, bombardnts, Haki—everywhere. Cake Island turned into a pile of ruins as both sides began to fight. Only Orin sat in place, drinking tea that Sammi had cooled by blowing on it. Behind him were the underground world’s big shots watching the show. Morgans kept snapping photos with his Den Den Mushi.
"This really is a grand show!!!"
But Orin didn’t look toward the rampaging Big Mom. Instead, he looked in Katakuri’s direction.
"No... the real show is only just beginning."
