After more than five years of absence, Cake Island is still the same as before, with various candy and pastry buildings lined up in rows, full of joyful colors.
The familiar streets have not been changed much. Ji Xing can still find familiar shops and eat familiar "dark cuisine".
"Uncle Gleason, let's have a chocolate burger, 30% pure."
"Hey." The middle-aged stall owner looked at Ji Xing strangely while packing his bags.
Ji Xing smiled and said, "Sammy didn't help?"
"Oh, that boy, he joined the Burning Legion a year ago." The stall owner said proudly, and then added: "You don't even know this. It's been a long time since you came to buy anything from me. No wonder there are some
It’s so unfamiliar, I didn’t recognize it.”
"How can you be so confident? You have been busy recently and you forgot about your old customers when they didn't come. Is this reasonable?" Ji Xing asked.
"Ah...ah haha..."
Ji Xing picked up the burger and left. While eating, he browsed nearby shops. Soon he had ice cream, fruit, chicken drumsticks and other food in his hand.
Not far away, a lion fur tribe wearing a pink suit and sunglasses was carefully watching him from a distance. Suddenly someone next to him greeted him: "Lord Pokmus! What are you..."
The lion's hair exploded instantly, and Pokomus raised his fingers in horror, feeling that his heart was about to stop. After a few seconds, he saw that Ji Xing did not look this way, and his heart dropped in his throat.
"Go, go, go away!"
After shooing away his subordinates who didn't understand the situation, Porquemous continued to watch carefully for two minutes. He was relieved when the person he was waiting for finally arrived.
"Katakuri-sama." He reported in a low voice: "It is indeed that guy. The pattern of the knife, the appearance, and the appearance all match, and I always feel like I am about to be cut into pieces just by staring at him.
It's like it's broken into pieces...
He has been buying food just now, and he also took the opportunity to chat with several shopkeepers, maybe trying to find out about his mother. Sorry, I didn't dare to get close, nor did I dare to observe the shape of his mouth head-on."
Katakuri nodded slightly and looked at Ji Xing. He had met Ji Xing once on the red-haired ship in Wano waters four years ago. At that time, he only regarded him as a red-haired subordinate. He never expected that this man would treat him like that.
The method made him remember the name Holo, and he never expected to encounter his arrival during the worst period of change in the world.
No matter what his purpose is, it is probably going to make things worse for all the nations now.
But the moment he imprisoned his mother, Katakuri was ready to take on everything.
So he walked out directly and said: "Holo, why did you come to Cake Island?"
Ji Xing took a mouthful of ice cream: "Long time no see, Katakuri. I heard some rumors from the red-haired man. How is Big Mom?"
Katakuri was silent.
Pokomus looked at the two men looking at each other and felt sweat dripping from his forehead, almost changing from a lion to a sea lion.
"My mother is certainly not feeling well when I heard about your arrival." Katakuri said slowly: "She is waiting for you in the castle hall. Come with me."
Ji Xing smiled: "Okay."
Katakuri nodded and led the way, a trace of heaviness flashed in his eyes. Facing this guy, my sense of knowledge was completely useless... It's not that I can't foresee the future, but that there are no traces of his actions in the foreseeable future. This is the first time.
.
The guy who defeated Mom and Kaido one against two is indeed the biggest monster in the world.
He silently led Ji Xing towards the castle.
It's a first time for him.
It's the second time for Ji Xing.
…
Walking through the long corridor displaying various chess soldiers, we came to the main hall of the castle.
When he opened the door, a mountain of meat suddenly appeared in Ji Xing's sight. He saw Big Mom sitting on the throne with a fierce look on his face, and there were also powerful pirates such as Jiang Xing gathered around him. In terms of overall momentum, they were all
Watching with eager eyes!
Obviously, they were hostile and wary of Ji Xing's arrival.
Especially the Big Mom in the center, who seemed to have all her big white flesh trembling in anger, and said in a trembling voice: "Mom, mom - Holo! You actually came to my territory?!"
Ji Xing looked at 'her', and then at the people who were trying to suppress him from his aura. He smiled again, turned to Katakuri and said, "Is this his first time performing? His first time pretending to be Big Mom.
Is it a little embarrassing to perform in front of me?"
The whole place fell silent for a moment.
Perospero tilted his head and stuck out his tongue as if he was about to die. He was discovered in an instant?!
Owen, Smoothie and others were shocked.
The Big Mom in the center shook away, making Ji Xing feel dizzy. Katakuri remained silent for a while, shaking his head to signal him to change back.
It was a somewhat funny man wearing a swan suit. After returning to his original appearance, he stood in front of Big Mom's throne and looked extremely small, with tears in his eyes: "Ka, Mr. Katakuri, I really can't imitate you.
Mom!"
This guy's name is Ben Sam. He once joined Baroque Studio as Mr. 2 Von Clay. He is a person with imitation fruit abilities. As long as he touches the opponent with his right hand, he can completely transform into the opponent.
After the collapse of Baroque Studio, he was discovered by Katakuri by chance, which led to the current farce.
Katakuri waved his hand, indicating that he could go down, turned around and said: "Holo, what is your purpose in coming to the Ten Thousand Kingdoms? The current Ten Thousand Kingdoms... we can make the decision."
Now that the disguise has been seen through, there is no point in hiding his mother's situation. He admitted the change of ownership of Wan Guo in disguise.
"Is that so..." Ji Xing looked at the group of people, thought for a while, and said with a smile, "I want to marry you."
"...marriage?!"
Ji Xing said humbly: "I have a disciple named Abe. He is almost 25 years old this year and has never been married. It just so happens that the business of the Holo Merchant Group is preparing to expand to the new world. I remember that you, the Big Mom Pirate Group, like it very much.
Allies are made through marriage, so let’s see if we can help Abe find a companion.”
Everyone was greatly surprised.
Is it true? Is there such a thing?
What the hell is such a good thing?!
Perospero's heart suddenly pounded. This guy is the strongest monster in the world, much more powerful than his mother! If we can make friends with him through marriage, then our crisis now...
No, don’t talk about a crisis!
It’s easy to keep the name of the Three Emperors Pirates and even improve it!
But after thinking about it, Katakuri said in a deep voice: "Then please bring him here. After I consult with the sisters of the right age, if you are interested in getting married, let them get along with each other for a while and give it a try."
"It's still so troublesome?" Ji Xing frowned.
"The necessary process." Katakuri said.
"The Big Mom Pirates were not like this before, right?"
"I am the one in charge now."
As the two of them asked and answered, a chill seemed to spread outwards. Owen took a half-step forward defensively, and Perospero yelled in his heart, Katakuri, are you crazy? Please agree first!
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more solemn, Ji Xing smiled again and said: "In addition to Abe, I also have a female apprentice who is very beautiful. Katakuri, you are not married yet, why don't you do it directly?
My disciple-in-law, to build a closer alliance?"
Katakuri looked surprised: "You..."
"how?"
"...Okay." Katakuri nodded.
"When my apprentice marries your sister, you have to get along first. But when you marry my female apprentice, you directly agree. How can this be true?" Ji Xing asked funnyly.
"Yes. I can make decisions for myself, but I cannot completely make decisions for my sisters." Katakuri explained: "I hope that your trip today has been approved by your disciples, and you are not taking pleasure in their future.
joke."
Damn it, I have been educated. Ji Xing shook his head and said: "Everything is too much, and it is easy to be too hard. You have no capital to resist me, so you should compromise first. No matter what the request is, agree to it first, and then
It’s better to look for a turning point.”
The grumpy Owen took a few steps forward after hearing this: "Are you really here to cause trouble? This is a country, even if you are the strongest in the world..."
Katakuri raised his hand to stop Owen from continuing, and faced Ji Xing and said: "Sometimes, inner perseverance is more important than death. This is what a guy with the same last name as you taught me five years ago.
"
"Ah, I know, Holo Ji Xing?"
"Um."
"You may have learned it wrong." Ji Xing smiled.
Katakuri frowned, and at the same time, the hostility falling on Ji Xing in the castle hall seemed to be even heavier!
"If you haven't seen it, don't judge Ji Xing casually, Holo!" Irving shouted: "That guy is a real strong man and a born king. If he hadn't died five years ago, this era would never let you be beautiful.
In front!"
"Oh?" The corner of Ji Xing's mouth curled up: "I suddenly want to hear more of his story and why you admire him... Well, let's listen to it while eating, I'm a little hungry. I remember you Katakuri
Are you a person with Nuo Nuo fruit ability? Come and try some glutinous rice balls?"
Want to hear Ji Xing’s story?
What does this mean?
Katakuri felt that the topic had changed very abruptly and strangely, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He was silent for two seconds and made glutinous rice balls.
Ji Xing grabbed the glutinous rice ball in his hand and walked towards Perospero: "Help attach a layer of sour sugar to the glutinous rice ball? Lan Lan tastes it."
"?!!"
The timid and frightened Perospero, who looked a little unnatural, did as he was told, but did not notice Katakuri's shrinking pupils and drastic change in his expression.
Ji Xing took the glutinous rice ball with sugar juice and walked towards Owen again: "Heat it and let the sugar juice soak in. It will taste better."
What? Owen, Dafu, and Smoothie’s breathing became disordered at the same moment!
This scene is so familiar that they have not forgotten that the man five years ago proposed to his mother to refuse the marriage after asking for a glutinous rice ball to eat!
Later, he was determined to die!
Why? Coincidence?
Can it be such a coincidence?
"you……"
"Heat it up." Ji Xing repeated.
Tone, action, demeanor.
Almost exactly the same!
But Ji Xing is obviously dead and is still buried in the soil, and the two of them look completely different!
Irving used his power in confusion to soak the sugar juice into the glutinous rice balls. Ji Xing smiled, took a bite, and chewed: "Well, come on, who can tell me the story of Holo Ji Xing?"
No one said anything.
Perospero also reacted, and everyone looked at each other with ghostly expressions.
Katakuri's heart surged, and he quickly gave a negative judgment! No, no, Ji Xing is indeed dead, I collected the body!
Is the color of knowledge domineering? What level of color is it? When Ji Xing was mentioned just now, who had this picture flashing through his mind, and did he fully recognize it?
"You bastard... you are pretending to be a ghost!" Owen also made a similar judgment and punched angrily.
The Rere Fruit was activated with all its strength, and a punch emitting astonishing heat hit Ji Xing's shoulder from behind, but of course it only hit the afterimage.
Owen exerted too much strength and his body swayed, but Ji Xing, who had disappeared, appeared next to him.
Everyone was shocked. Katakuri had already prepared and acted the fastest. Nuomi condensed into a pillar of steel under the influence of the armed color, and hit Ji Xing's chest, trying to force Ji Xing away, but the next moment, he was stopped.
It's on Ji Xing's chest, and he can't get even an inch inside!
A black-red finger pointed forward, like an indestructible barrier, blocking Katakuri's attack. Ji Xing turned around and smiled: "You didn't even listen to what Ji Xing said, Owen. It's not a teacher.
But what you lack is that you always punch with all your strength, just like this one, without Katakuri's help, I could have kicked your ass three times."
Owen's fierceness was frozen on his face. He was shocked not only by the finger blocking Katakuri, but also by the words coming out of Ji Xing's mouth.
This kind of thing...except for those who were present that day, no one will know about this kind of thing!
Is this also the color of seeing and hearing?
Smoothie, who was about to take action, also released his hand from the handle of the knife: "You...are you really?!"
"What happened to the princess who was captured and squeezed for juice? Smoothie."
"...let it go." Smoothie whispered.
Trance, astonishment, doubt about life.
Ji Xing nodded and said: "Let it go...it seems no one is going to tell me Ji Xing's story?"
What to talk about?
The glutinous rice balls with sugar juice, the fighting skills taught to Owen, the juicing princess, and Ji Xing's three simple sentences made four men and one woman lose their minds for him!
Witnessed a long-dead person come back to life and stand before you again with a new look?
Moreover, the other party is already famous as the strongest person in the world! His reputation is like thunder!
This is a dream-like experience!
As if Owen and others were in their dreams, they heard Ji Xing continue: "If you don't want to talk about it, let me do it. There are indeed people who are willing to die for the sake of their hearts, but they are very rare. As for people, they would rather be alive.
alive.
Holo Ji Xing was not that willing to die, he chose to die just because his death was not a real death and he could survive by paying some price."
Katakuri said solemnly: "Is it... some kind of devil fruit? You..."
"You guy..."
"It's really..."
"Is it really Ji Xing?!"
Ji Xing smiled: "How is that girl Flanpei? Are she still so naughty? The 10 siblings are already 16 years old, and they must be even more spectacular standing together now. My appetite is average now, I should be more than
But Kante and his brothers are still so strong, right? And Mukulu, she seems to be no longer on the Cake Island and has become a 'minister'? I miss the taste of walnuts..."
A series of words hit everyone's hearts like a violent storm, leaving a few people with no doubts, but... what is this?
Do you know how much your death has changed?! Do you know how much your death has impacted us?!
Five years, five years!
We even imprisoned my mother, and you showed up again and said you were not dead?
Who will pay for our touches?!
Ji Xing looked around and said with a smile: "By the way, who can take me to my cemetery?"
There may not be one tomorrow. I plan to go to the hospital for a quick check. I don’t know if it will take long. I heard there are a lot of people. If there are no accidents, I will start updating on the 3rd and get back on track.
