Chapter 20 The Emperor's Gaze
When the woman's children saw her eating so voraciously, they immediately realized that her anorexia had flared up again.
They were afraid there wouldn't be enough food, and that the old woman would fly into a rage. Just imagining her in a rage terrified her children, even Katakuri, the leader of the Three Sweet Commanders.
Just then, someone came in from outside; it was the old lady's eldest son, Longbread.
He approached Katakuri, who had his arms crossed, and asked in a low voice, "Is Mom having another episode of anorexia?"
Katakuri nodded when he saw it was a long loaf of bread. The long loaf, seeing Katakuri's expression, didn't say anything; after all, Katakuri was just like that.
Then Longbread slowly said, "Katakuri! A major event has occurred in the East Blue!" After saying this, Longbread handed the newspaper in its hand to Katakuri.
Katakuri perked up instantly upon hearing what the long bread said and took the newspaper to read it.
With just one glance, his expression became extremely solemn.
Clearly, Minos's deeds also shocked him.
After reading it, Katakuri broke his silence.
"I never expected such a person to emerge from that place in the East China Sea?"
Longbread, his expression grave, said, "Yes! Since Roger, no truly formidable figures have emerged in the East Blue!"
Katakuri asked Longbread, "So what should we do now? Should we let Mom know about the news in the newspaper?"
Longbread shook its head. "Let's show it to Mom when she's fully awake!"
Otherwise, if we disturb her now, we will be punished.
After seeing the long bread speak, Katakuri crossed his arms again and stopped talking.
And so, the Big Mom Pirates watched as Big Mom ate the cake.
……
On an island in the New World, a group of people are also having a banquet.
Red-Haired Shanks was boasting to his crew that he used to be a member of Roger's pirate crew.
The crew members looked on in disbelief when they heard Shanks's shameless act.
Seeing that the crew didn't believe him, Shanks quickly said, "It's true, I'm telling the truth!"
"Okay, okay, boss, we believe you." But the tone of his voice was clearly not convincing at all.
Then, the crew burst into laughter.
Seeing this, Shanks gritted his teeth. How come no one believes him when he tells the truth these days?
Just as Shanks and his crew were fooling around, a figure walked over and was speechless at the scene.
Family, what should I do if I encounter an unreliable captain? Is it too late for me to disembark now?
The person who looked speechless at this moment was none other than Ben Beckman, the vice-captain of the Red-Haired Pirates.
Beckman possesses a powerful aura and is a royal-level powerhouse, also known as the "most intelligent person in the ocean".
Beckman shook his head and said seriously, "Something big has happened in the East China Sea."
Well, the members of the Red-Haired Pirates stopped fooling around when they heard Beckman's serious tone and listened quietly to what he was about to say.
But Shanks didn't care about any of that and laughed heartily, "Beckman, don't be so serious! Even the biggest event is nothing compared to having a party!"
Beckman was speechless, utterly speechless; he was completely helpless against Shanks.
Beckman said seriously to Shanks, "Boss, this time something really big has happened. A young man with Conqueror's Haki and a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit has appeared in the East Blue!"
After Beckman finished speaking, everyone in the Red-Haired Pirates was shocked.
That can't be!
Strong individuals can emerge from the East China Sea!
That's unbelievable.
Beckman looked at the commotion around him but said nothing. Then, he looked at Shanks.
At this moment, Shanks was no longer joking around and his face was serious.
After handing the newspaper to the crew, Beckman went to Shanks' side.
I never expected that such an extraordinary person would emerge from the East China Sea this time.
Shanks, upon hearing Beckman's words, burst into laughter again, saying, "Never mind him, let's continue drinking."
Then he pulled Beckman into the crowd, and the Red-Haired Pirates ignored the newspapers and continued to shout and drink.
And so, even the speechless Beckman was led astray by Shanks.
……
The New World, Wano Country, Onigashima. In Kaido's stronghold, Kaido is drinking and crying out, "I want to die! Who can kill me?"
King, one of the Three Disasters, and Queen, the Plague, watched Kaido's drunken antics with unchanging expressions.
Clearly, they've experienced Kaido's drunken antics many times before, and it's become a habit.
When they see Kaido acting drunk, they signal to each other with their eyes.
King: "Is Admiral Kaido starting again?!"
Queen: "That's right, Admiral Kaido has gone mad again."
Just as King and Queen were gazing deeply into each other's eyes, someone entered from outside and shouted, "Lord Kaido, something terrible has happened!"
Hmm! The pirate's words made King and Queen look at him at the same time (doesn't it seem creepy?). Kaido continued to be troubled, which made the pirate who came in to deliver the message freeze, not knowing what to do.
But at that moment, Jhin spoke, breaking the deadlock.
"What happened? Why are you so panicked?"
Upon hearing King's inquiry, the pirate on the communications desk hurriedly replied, "Lord King, a major event has occurred in the East Blue. This is today's newspaper."
After taking the newspaper, Jin dismissed the pirates who were communicating with him.
The pirate who was communicating breathed a sigh of relief and quickly retreated; he dared not stay there any longer.
Jin looked at the newspaper in his hand, and his expression changed from nonchalant to serious.
Quinn, who was standing nearby, fell silent after seeing Jhin reading the newspaper. This made him very curious about what had happened.
He asked directly, "Jin! What's in this newspaper? Why are you silent?"
Jhin didn't say anything, but simply handed the newspaper to Quinn.
Quinn took the newspaper, muttering, "What's all this mystery!"
When Quinn looked at the newspaper, he exclaimed in shock, "How is this possible? A boy with Conqueror's Haki has appeared in the East Blue, and he's even a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit user?"
Queen's exclamation stopped Kaido, who was drunk and acting crazy.
He asked Jhin and Quinn what had happened.
"Why are you making such a fuss?"
After seeing that Kaido had regained consciousness, King and Queen quickly said, "It's like this, Lord Kaido. A young man with Conqueror's Haki has appeared in the East Blue, and he is also a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit user."
Upon hearing Queen's words, Kaido exclaimed in surprise, "Queen, quickly show me the newspaper!"
You should know that the Beasts Pirates are composed of various Zoan-type Devil Fruit abilities, and now there is a Conqueror's Haki boy who also has a Mythical Zoan ability.
Isn't this a gift from nature?
