A vague shadow of a boat appeared in the distance, and the three Armande sisters immediately rushed to meet it. As the distance got closer, the shadow of the boat became clearer, and it turned out to be a gorgeously decorated boat.
The Charlotte family's large cake boat is already ostentatious enough, but this painting boat is even more impressive.
There were only a few figures on the deck, and the leader was a young girl with short blond hair, wearing a white flowered hat, and an off-white dress, with an elegant and generous temperament.
It's none other than the Queen of Happy Street, Stacy.
"Ah, I'm really embarrassed."
Before anyone arrived, the sound had already arrived, and Stacy's apologetically chuckled voice came, "I was almost late, but I still bothered you to come all the way to greet me. Long time no see, Armand."
"Yes, Ms. Stacy."
Armand's face, which was always as cold as frost, also showed an unnatural smile. She bowed slightly and saluted:
"The guests have almost arrived, and the tea party will officially begin in a few hours. Please go to the castle for a short rest. Someone will take you to the banquet hall."
"Okay."
Stacy picked up the golden hair next to her ear and smiled sweetly.
She carried a white handbag and walked elegantly towards the lawn.
There was already a luxury pig car waiting there, and behind Stacy, several guys who were obviously members of the entourage immediately followed closely.
These entourages basically all look weird.
There was a huge half-giant, a panda girl covered in fur... the only guy who looked like a normal human was about three meters tall, wearing a white hood, and his face couldn't be seen clearly.
The guy whose face he couldn't see clearly... The fourth girl, Yaxiu, frowned and subconsciously wanted to reach out to stop the guy from checking, but the next moment she was held by a cold, slender hand.
"Don't cause too much trouble."
Armand's cold voice sounded in his ears.
"But Third Sister, didn't you tell me to be more careful before and not to let anyone slip through the net into the tea party?"
"That's for ordinary customers."
Armand looked at the figure on the pig cart and said calmly:
"Ms. Stracey and her mother are best friends, and she is very sensible and brings only a few followers. The situation is naturally different, and she can be completely trusted."
"Yes, third sister."
Yaxiu nodded and said nothing more.
The three sisters returned to the heights and continued to wait for the next batch of guests.
The pig cart started, carrying Stacy and the others to the Pig Cart Castle. The flowers, plants and trees on both sides were swaying in the wind, and the Homitz were twisting their bodies and singing in unison:
"All this is prepared for you, mother's distinguished guest~?"
…
During the melodious and sweet singing, Stacy looked away from the three sisters, held her hat brim and breathed a sigh of relief. She seemed to be talking to herself, but in fact she was complaining to someone behind her:
"It's all your fault. You insisted on coming in with me, but you were discovered just in case. I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat."
"Cold sweat? Why didn't I see it?"
A calm voice sounded from behind, "The CP department has the best undercover ace. If everyone only has this kind of determination, I suggest we disband as soon as possible."
"That's right."
Stacy was reluctant, grabbing the other person's hand and stretching it towards her fair neck, "It's just blocked by the clothes. If you don't believe it, just reach in and touch it yourself..."
Before she finished speaking, her hand was ruthlessly thrown away.
"Please respect yourself, Miss Stracey."
The figure under the white hood finally looked up, revealing Nuo Xia's handsome, expressionless face, "I got married six years ago, and now I am the father of two children."
"snort!"
Stacey stamped her foot angrily, "Get married! Get married! Which woman in the world doesn't know that you are married a long time ago?"
"You men are really not good at all! You stole people's hearts first, and now you are pretending to be clean and aloof... Hey, believe it or not, I will regret it now and kick you out of the car first.
, and then report your unauthorized actions..."
"You won't."
A faint voice interrupted her.
"The arrow is already on the string, so there's no reason to take it back. What's more, if you really wanted to regret it, you would have done so a week ago, right?"
snort!
Stacy was so angry that her thoughts were exposed, but she couldn't refute anything. After all, what Nosha said was the truth.
——Bad man, simply bad!
…
Time goes back to a week ago.
New World, Happy Street, somewhere in a luxurious bedroom.
"You mean... you want me to take you into this tea party?"
Stacy, who was taking off her makeup, raised her head in shock and looked at the man leaning on the window sill.
The man nodded slightly.
"No, don't think about it!"
After only thinking for a moment, she decisively shook her head and refused.
"reason."
"Let's not talk about the channels through which you learned my true identity... But Bailong, if you had not left the navy, you would definitely be the general in the general position. In that case, I might take the initiative to cooperate with your actions.
.”
"But it's a pity that you resigned and are now a civilian. Why should you expect me to obey your orders?"
"This is not an order, just a request between acquaintances."
"Don't come here." Stacy spat, "You and I only met once at the wedding that year, so what kind of acquaintance are you... Hey, what are you going to do!"
Her voice suddenly became panicked, because the man on the window sill suddenly leaned over.
The handsome face was getting closer and closer, the black eyes were as deep as a lake, and everything exuded a fatal temptation... Looking at Stacy, her cheeks were red and hot, and her heart was like a deer running wildly.
"What are you worried about?"
Looking at Stacy who turned away, Noxia said softly, "Are you worried that I am not strong enough to destroy the Charlotte family and in turn expose your identity?"
"Of course... of course!"
Stacy stammered, and she swore she had never heard herself speak with such an accent, "Just... so what if you did defeat Lingling back then, but this time you are in her base camp! Bailong, you
You don’t really think that you can go deep into the enemy’s nest and win by yourself, do you?”
"This level of difficulty is not the same! I advise you to stop thinking about it as soon as possible. I have worked hard to get close to Lingling over the years and have the relationship and status I have today. I can't ruin it in your hands!"
"But if I insist on having my own way..."
Nosha used his fingers to pull her chin bit by bit, forcing Stacy to look directly at her, "What are you going to do?"
"Of course I will report the news to the World Government and the Navy Headquarters about your reckless plan. Maybe I will also secretly send a message to Lingling and ask her to be careful about you!"
"No, you won't."
The two looked at each other, and Nuo Xia suddenly grinned slightly, revealing a gentle smile with eight teeth, "I believe you will choose to help me in the end, right?"
Stacy tried her best to turn her head, but her movement was stagnant at this moment. She stared blankly at the smiling Nosha, an intoxicating blush quickly climbed onto her cheeks, and she did not make any movement for a long time.
Boom, boom, boom...
In the quiet bedroom, there suddenly was a strange movement.
That was the sound of the heart of the senior female agent CP-0 relied on most, suddenly accelerating and beating wildly.
I don’t know how much time passed.
The violent beating of the heart gradually stopped, and a voice as timid as a mosquito came softly:
"Yeah..."
…
The perspective returns to the speeding pig cart.
Stracey hugged her handbag angrily and didn't want to talk anymore, while Nosha chuckled lightly, put her arms behind her head, lay back comfortably, closed her eyes and rested quietly.
More than a month ago, something happened on the East China Sea. He crossed the windless zone and entered the new world.
After just casually dealing with a few pirate groups he met along the way, Nuo Xia stopped for the time being and did not hunt and kill pirates like before.
Instead, he directly targeted the three sea emperors, Big Mom, Kaido, and Whitebeard. In his plan, none of them could escape.
Not only is it the fastest way to completely rewrite the order and pattern of the new world and complete the last step of the goal, but it also happens to be using these top experts in the world to test the results of my practice in the past three years.
then.
Among the three, Big Mom, who had the deepest grievances and fought the most, and the huge Charlotte family were his first targets without hesitation.
The annual tea party is the perfect time to catch them all.
…
I don't know how long it took.
Feeling the jolt of the pig cart stop, Nosha opened her eyes, and Stacy's angry voice also sounded at this time:
"Still sleeping! We've arrived at the Cake Castle, get off the car quickly!"
Turning his eyes away, the blond short-haired girl got out of the car angrily, leading her entourage straight towards the main entrance of the Cake Castle. Nuo Xia smiled and immediately got out of the car to follow.
Along the way, naturally there were maids arranged by the Charlotte family to greet and lead the way respectfully. Nuo Xia looked left and right with interest and found that the current cake castle was almost a perfect replica of the past one to one, and the decorations had become more beautiful.
luxurious.
It seems that the Charlotte family really spent a lot of effort to rebuild the castle after it was destroyed by themselves...
It's a pity...
Nuo Xia shook his head slightly. The next moment, he seemed to have sensed something and squinted at the steps ahead.
"Welcome, Ms. Stacy!"
A man dressed as a clown seemed to have been waiting in front of the steps for a long time. He was Perospero, the eldest son of the Charlotte family.
He bowed slightly and performed a standard welcome ceremony, raised his head and grinned: "It's still more than an hour before the tea party officially starts, but many guests have already entered. Could you please go to your room to rest for a while?
Or should we go now? Lick~"
You are also smiling with your teeth, but why do I just want to punch you when you smile like this?
Stacy glanced at Nuo Xia behind her calmly, smiled and said: "Just go there directly. I have been late for the tea party several times before. It's rare to come here early this time, and I don't want to keep Lingling waiting anymore."
Me."
"No problem, please come with me!"
Perospero smiled with a smile on his face. After looking at Nuoxia and the others, he turned his head indifferently and tapped his candy cane against the wall.
Ta-ta.
After two soft sounds, another staircase transformed from candy suddenly extended in front of him, spiraling upwards to the top of the cake castle.
Obviously, this is the real passage leading to the tea party. Without members of the Charlotte family to guide the way, outsiders cannot reach the top of the castle.
Under the leadership of Perospero, Stacy and his party quickly reached the top floor, and the banquet hall seemed to be divided into two parts, the outer hall and the inner hall.
To access the inner hall, you must pass through the outer hall.
At this time, there were already many guests in the outer hall, gathering in small groups to chat and laugh.
When Stracey's figure appeared at the entrance of the passage, the surrounding area instantly became quiet. Countless looks mixed with awe and fawning were directed at Stressy, and one could almost hear the drop of a pin.
The so-called name of a person, the shadow of a tree, the name of the Queen of Happy Street is really too loud in the new world.
Among the guests present, there were also many prominent figures in the new world, but they were not at the same level as Stacey.
Stacy was also a frequent visitor to tea parties many times. She ignored the gazes of those guests and pointed at an empty seat. Several attendants immediately understood the situation tacitly, left the group, and sat down at the round table.
As for Nuo Xia, who is also disguised as a follower...
"Perospero."
Stacy turned her head and chuckled, "Fujiwara's situation is quite special. It's rare for him to have a tea party with me. I can bring him into the inner hall. There should be no problem, right?"
Fujiwara?
Perospero was stunned and glanced at Nosha unexpectedly. He was in charge of the intelligence power of the Charlotte family, so he was no stranger to this name.
It is said that this is a top-notch ronin from the land of Wano, and his swordsmanship is quite superb.
He has been Stacy's number one thug since ten years ago. The Fujiwara swordsman has played an indispensable role in making Stacy and Happy Street achieve their current status.
It's just that the other party has always been low-key and cautious, rarely showing his body to the outside world. Unexpectedly, Stacy would actually take him with him during this tea party.
"Of course, of course!"
After Perospero came to his senses, he nodded hurriedly and said with a smile, "Since you are Mr. Fujiwara, you are naturally qualified to enter the inner hall, and I will help arrange the seats. Ms. Stracey, please don't worry.
"
Enter the inner hall.
There are much fewer round tables inside, but those who are qualified to enter here are all partners that bigmom really values.
Stacy's seat is just to the left of Big Mom's sofa. The other guests at this table are all the dark emperors of the underground world.
Morgans, the president of the World Economic News Agency, Du Felder, the king of loan sharks, Dorague Piecro, the big-handed undertaker, Gilbertson, the warehousing giant... are all listed.
As for Noxia, Perospero arranged him to sit at another round table next to him.
The guests who were seated here were all of a slightly lower status. Seeing that Nuo Xia had followed Stracey, they did not dare to neglect. They all smiled and raised their glasses and nodded. Nuo Xia also nodded slightly as a return greeting.
His mind was not on these guests, his attention was completely attracted by Big Mom's pink sofa.
"strangeness……"
Nuo Xia frowned slightly and muttered to himself.
Is this really BigMom’s seat?
Why is it more than half narrower than when we were at the wedding? Can we squeeze it in?
"What's wrong?"
Stacy's seat was right next to Noxia. When she heard the whisper behind her head, she turned around and asked in a low voice.
"That sofa...is there something wrong?"
"sofa?"
Stacey followed Nuo Xia's eyes and looked over. She understood instantly. She couldn't help but laugh. She leaned over and said with a smile:
"Hey, let me tell you, have you never inquired about the Charlotte family in the past few years?"
"I really didn't notice it."
Nosha admitted frankly, "So what happened?"
He had some vague guesses in his mind, but he wasn't sure yet, until Stacey chuckled in his ear:
"What's wrong? I'm afraid you can't think of it. After Lingling lost to you last time, she was very stimulated. She has been crazy about dieting and exercising to lose weight in the past two years, and she didn't listen to anyone's advice."
"As for her current appearance, well... although she is still a little different from her gorgeous appearance when she was young, she has almost recovered. She can definitely be said to be an out-and-out beauty!"
