"Little Tsuru, do we really need to dress like this?"
Garp awkwardly tugged at his clothes back and forth.
No helping it. With his build, finding fitting clothes was already difficult.
Garp was currently disguised as a "gangster," wearing a sharp suit and bowler hat. Next to him, Kizaru and Vice Admiral Tsuru wore similar attire.
Only Momousagi wore a form-fitting long dress, held a small fan in her hand, and even wore a golden wig.
She looked completely like a noble lady.
With Garp's original thinking and with their level of combat power, why would they need to use "infiltration" methods?
He could start with a direct "underwater crash landing," then they could just forcefully steamroll their way through.
Besides Big Mom and that brat, could there really be anyone else here worthy of being his opponent?
"Idiot!" Vice Admiral Tsuru in her black suit glared at him, cursed once, and then had no intention of explaining.
Fortunately, Momousagi nearby spoke up in time.
"Garp, Sister Tsuru means that if we charge in with great fanfare, Naruto Uzumaki will very likely escape before we arrive."
Momousagi was an expert at infiltration. This time, all their disguises were arranged by her.
She used her fan to slightly cover the lower half of her face, every word and action completely fitting her current disguised persona.
"Really troublesome."
Didn't Garp know this?
Of course he knew.
Rather, this was exactly his intention.
Unlike both Momousagi and Vice Admiral Tsuru, because of his relationship with Roger and Portgas D. Rouge, Garp had spent a long time with Naruto.
Garp knew Naruto's character.
Therefore, he actually didn't want to really fight him.
Moreover, he didn't think liberating slaves and killing Celestial Dragons was really wrong.
Even back then in that "God Valley" battle, Garp's intervention wasn't for those beast-like Celestial Dragons.
He had arrived there chasing Roger.
After seeing Rocks, whether from his own position or duty, neither allowed him to stand by and watch.
Now it was the same. When next meeting Naruto, he still had to go all out to arrest him.
After all, so many colleagues were watching.
Just as Garp and others landed on Cake Island, Stussy also disembarked with several subordinates.
Lucci, Kaku, and others were currently carrying various gift pastries. Who would have thought their first job in the New World would be as porters?
But rank was everything, and Lucci had no way to refuse, only able to obediently follow Stussy forward.
In terms of speed alone, Stussy was even slightly faster than Garp's group.
After all, Garp's side had wasted some time hijacking ships and then couldn't maintain high-speed sailing for disguise purposes, which allowed Stussy's group to catch up.
Big Mom had likewise sent her children to receive this "good girlfriend." Just as they were walking toward the castle, sudden exclamations came from the dock.
Looking back, in the distance on the sea surface, two giant sea serpents were swimming toward them.
Those originally attending the tea party thought it was a sea beast attack, but then the Perfume Yuda behind the serpents revealed its form.
"Who is that?"
Someone asked.
"That's... the Kuja Pirates?"
Someone recognized the skull flag with nine snake heads on the ship and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Why would the Empress come here? Hasn't she always stayed in Paradise?"
"This doesn't bode well..."
"Should we notify Big Mom?"
"Do you even need to say that? Look over there..."
"Is that Lord Oven?"
Following their companion's pointing direction, a tall man wearing a yellow cape with a bare upper body was now standing on the dock.
It was Big Mom's son, Katakuri's brother, Charlotte Oven.
Looking at the Perfume Yuda racing toward them with no intention of slowing down, Oven smiled coldly with disdain, then put his hand into the water.
He was a "Heat-Heat Fruit" user who could instantly raise his own temperature and conduct heat to others.
At this moment, Oven's hands emitted red light, and the seawater in contact instantly heated up.
Then the heat spread, and a large area of sea ahead began bubbling. It had actually started boiling.
The two serpents pulling the ship were very sensitive to temperature. After touching that high-temperature seawater, they immediately stopped. The ship behind them rushed forward a short distance due to inertia.
"Hmph! Just a Seven Warlord, yet daring to cause trouble in Totto Land, really..."
Oven had just straightened up, his boastful words not yet finished, when a figure "shot over" from the distant ship at a speed he couldn't react to.
"Perfume Femur!"
A delicate scolding came first, then heels like a rainbow.
Oven couldn't even see clearly before Hancock's kick hit his forehead.
The giant nearly five meters tall, was instantly kicked away without even resisting.
Bang!
After Oven fell to the ground, others wanted to help him, but when approaching, they shockingly discovered he had already turned into a stone statue.
This scene was witnessed by Perospero, who had just finished seeing off Doflamingo.
"Candy Maiden!"
Without any hesitation, he directly used his fruit ability, creating a huge golden "Iron Maiden" trying to trap Hancock inside.
"Hmph!"
Looking at the giant Iron Maiden covered in spikes pressing toward her, Hancock showed no worry on her face.
She lightly touched her finger to her lips, then pulled outward, creating a huge pink heart.
Then her other hand pulled at the heart like drawing a bow.
Slave Arrow!
Countless heart-shaped arrows shot out from it, flying toward the surrounding candy spikes.
Then, under Perospero's grave gaze, the candy he had created was rapidly petrified by the arrows.
This move could ignore the prerequisite of "being charmed," causing petrification effects on all living and non-living things it touched, truly as terrifying as the mythical Gorgon.
The petrified candy also broke free from Perospero's control, falling directly to the ground.
"Boa Hancock! Are you challenging the Big Mom Pirates?!"
Not wanting to lose face, the Candy Minister maintained the pride of a Four Emperor's crew member despite knowing he was no match.
Unfortunately, his opponent was the even more prideful Empress!
Hancock looked around, not seeing the figure she wanted to see, then directly pointed forward while raising her head high, even leaning her entire body backward.
"Hmph! Whatever I do will be forgiven!"
"Speak quickly! Where have you hidden Naruto!"
Because she had rushed here at full speed, Hancock wasn't clear that the wedding partners had changed from Naruto and Smoothie to Big Mom herself.
At this moment in her heart, she had come to steal the groom. Her momentum absolutely couldn't weaken.
So what about a Four Emperor!
"I can't let you ruin Linlin's banquet."
At this time, a female voice that surprised everyone present rang out.
Charlotte Daifuku, who was responsible for leading Stussy's group into the castle, looked incredulously at the "Queen of Pleasure District" walking toward the Empress.
He somewhat couldn't understand why Stussy would get involved at this time.
Stussy came to not far in front of Hancock, lightly touched her lips with her finger, and smiled as she looked at the woman across from her.
"Speaking of which, I still don't know what you want with Naruto Uzumaki."
The two women looked at each other.
Their natural instincts were telling them that the other was their true "enemy."
Where their gazes met, electric sparks seemed to flash.
