Hearing Wood's rejection, Stussy was a little disappointed, but not too surprised.
If Wood was so easy to recruit, Big Mom and Kaido wouldn't have to compete for the top spot.
In fact, the World Government has always wanted Wood to be under its control. To be precise, it probably wanted to take over his weapons company for its own use.
Wood Arms Company mass-produces a large number of weapons every year. In addition to greatly increasing the strength of the World Government, the countless orders can also help the World Government gather a large amount of wealth.
In fact, the World Government has sent out several groups of people to recruit Wood before, but unfortunately, they failed without exception.
Because whether it is status, wealth or strength, etc., Wood has reached the top level of the pyramid on the sea, and the world government cannot offer enough chips to make Wood's heart beat.
Stusy just discovered by chance that Wood, the famous navy traitor, was actually quite "lecherous", so he tried to use his own advantages to recruit him.
It doesn't matter if I fail, but if I succeed, it will undoubtedly be a great achievement for me.
The current CP0 chief is about to retire due to his age, and there is currently no successor to the position of top chief.
If he can help the World Government recruit Wood, then there is no doubt that the position of the highest officer will be his.
"BIG MOM attaches great importance to your participation in the tea party, and as far as I know, in order to successfully win over you, BIG MOM seems to be preparing to make you a member of the Charlotte family.
As for the news that you came to attend the Big Mom tea party, I have also released the news through the underground world, and the Beast Pirates should also know this information by now."
After hearing what Stusy said, Wood's expression first changed, and then he glared at Stusy next to him with an unhappy face, and even grabbed the other person's neck with one hand, and held him.
She raised it.
"Who told you to do this unnecessary thing! The only condition I agreed to with the Navy was to assist you in completing your mission, and this does not mean that you can make your own plans against me!"
Yes, Wood's mission this time is indeed to provoke a conflict between the Big Mom Pirates and the Beast Pirates, but this does not mean that he has no other ways to do it.
Stussy's choice to send out such news in the underground world undoubtedly pushed Wood from the neutral camp directly to the side of the Big Mom Pirates.
"Even if... I didn't do anything, the news about your coming to attend the Big Mom tea party would be hidden at all... because someone else had already told Hyakushou Kaido the news earlier than me."
Because Stussy was strangling her neck, her voice was not smooth when she spoke. After hearing what she said, Wood quickly calmed down and let go of his hand.
"They are also the emperors of the underground world, the loan shark king Lufield and others, and they should have been hostile to you for a long time.
I just don’t know who told Kaido the information, but I have to say that the other party’s behavior really made our plan go more smoothly, right?”
Stussy, who was freed from Wood's restraints, rubbed her red neck and put a confident smile on her face again.
The Big Mom Pirates and the Beast Pirates are both members of the Yonko Pirates, but they have been at odds with each other recently due to conflicts of interest.
But because of their similar strength and power, they didn't want to start a real war, so as not to give the other two "Yonko" pirate groups and the navy an advantage.
And if the Big Mom Pirates and Wood come together, what will the Beast Pirates think?
There is no doubt that the balance of combat power between the two pirate groups with similar strength will be broken, and Kaido of the Beasts will definitely think that Big Mom and Wood came together to deal with his Beasts Pirates.
If the two "Four Emperors" pirate groups can start fighting because of this, then it will naturally be a scene that the World Government would like to see, and this situation will also be very beneficial to them.
However, this is only for the world government, and it does not benefit Wood at all, because his neutral position advantage cannot be maintained.
Regardless of whether Wood leaves Cake Island or not, Kaido will think that Wood has reached some agreement with Big Mom.
Based on Kaido's character, he would probably choose the Big Mom Pirates or Wood Arms Company for the operation before the two of them take action.
How difficult is it for the Big Mom Pirates to attack? Kaido has many situations, so there is a higher probability that the other party will find their weapons company to make the first move.
"In a sense, from the time you set foot on Cake Island, our mission has been almost half completed.
Now, even if we don't try to stir up trouble between Big Mom and Kaido at the tea party, Kaido probably won't sit still and wait for death.
Or maybe after leaving Ten Kingdoms, you went to the Beast Pirates to have a drink with Kaido?"
Next, Stussy did not choose to stay long, but took out some information needed by the navy and chose to leave, because she was also afraid that Wood would kill her directly if he got angry.
"I know damn well that this task is not that simple!"
As Stussy said, what if he went to Kaido's territory later to express his sincerity? Will people believe him?
If Big Mom still makes a fuss about this matter, Kaido will most likely kill him directly when he comes.
The next morning, Wood woke up to Baron Eggman's knock on the door because Big Mom's tea party had begun.
As for the venue, it is the largest castle on Cake Island and the residence of Big Mom.
It is said to be a tea party, but it is very much like an extremely grand banquet, and those who want to participate in this banquet must have a certain status on the sea.
Big Mom is one of the Four Emperors, and Charlotte Lingling is one of the few strong ones on the sea, unlike Wood who came to the tea party unwillingly.
Many people had gone to great lengths to attend this tea party and become familiar with the important people.
At least when Wood and Robin arrived at the venue dressed in their best clothes, they saw a lot of familiar faces.
The people who came here to participate in the banquet were not only pirates and people from the underworld, but also some princes and princesses from local kingdoms in suits and ties.
After all, there are countless islands and countless kingdoms in this sea. Many kingdoms believe in the powerful pirate groups more than the so-called navy.
No matter how powerful the navy is, it cannot take care of the entire sea. And as long as the flags of certain pirate groups are hung on the island, it will obviously be far more deterrent to some incoming pirates than the navy.
Therefore, it is not surprising that a prince or princess from a certain country will appear in BIG MOM. It is possible that their kingdom is one of the islands protected by BIG MOM.
The so-called tea party at BIG MOM is not just a simple tea party, it is more like the annual meeting of a large group.
The reason why big figures in the underground world participated in BIG MOM's tea party was not just to give BIG MOM face, but also to hand over money to BIG MOM's members at this tea party.
That's right, among the "Four Emperors", let's not mention the "Whitebeard Pirates" and the "Red-Haired Pirates" for now, but the Big Mom Pirates and the Beast Pirates have always intervened in the underground world.
of.
Otherwise, if there is no strong person to maintain order in Nuoda's underground world, it will definitely not be enough to rely solely on figures like Doflamingo and the others to keep things under control.
Whether it is the Big Mom Pirates or the Beast Pirates, they can get a lot of money from the underground world every year, and the princes and princesses of those kingdoms participate in the tea party to pay a year's protection fee.
Of course, there are also some people from the kingdom who go to great lengths to attend the tea party in order to get the protection of the Big Mom Pirates.
After all, they are also the "Yonko" pirate group, and their level of prowess is quite high. It doesn't mean that they allow you to hang the flag just because you pay the protection fee. It also depends on whether the chips you give are satisfactory enough.
Just like the Fish-Man Island ten thousand meters beneath the Shampoo Islands, it had always been protected by the "Whitebeard Pirates".
Since Whitebeard died in the Summit War, Fishman Island has sought refuge with the Big Mom Pirates.
As for the price, it means that a large amount of sweets and a certain amount of treasure must be handed over every year. It is also for this reason that the Tamate Box comes into the hands of the Big Mom Pirates.
Of course, on the current Fish-Man Island, because of the appearance of Wood, the fish-men hero Tiger and Princess Otohime are not dead. In addition, with the protection of Wood Arms Company, even if the flag of the Four Emperors is not hung, there is no one on the sea.
Dare to provoke anyone.
At the tea party, in addition to guests from all over the sea, there were also people from the Big Mom Pirates group, but the number was not large.
The reason is also very simple. Big Mom has so many children and husbands that she can't even remember their names, and not everyone is qualified to participate in a tea party of this size.
Excluding the powerful combatants of Big Mom, the only ones who can attend the tea party are the "Three Dessert Generals" of the Big Mom Pirates and some "ministers" who hold important positions.
Brynn is quite happy today. She is only fifteen years old and is currently wearing a white lace dress. Her long chestnut hair is tied into playful twin tails, and her forehead is halfway covered by long bangs.
Although she doesn't look very old, it can be seen that her figure has developed very gracefully.
As the 35th daughter of Big Mom, Brynn has always been disliked by Big Mom because of her young age and average strength.
Although she is extremely good at disguising herself, and even ranks as the second favorite sister in the Charlotte family, she usually has little chance to participate in important occasions like the Big Mom Tea Party.
But just a few days ago, Brynn was really happy when brother Perospero suddenly told her that he wanted her to attend her mother's tea party in a few days and asked her to dress up nicely.
Because she is a member of the three-eyed tribe and has ordinary strength, as a mother, Charlotte Lingling has always disliked Brynn, and even said she hated her.
At that time, her mother took the initiative to let her attend an important tea party, which made Brynn feel that Big Mom had changed her view of herself and started to take herself seriously.
You must know that usually at the Big Mom Pirates Tea Party in previous years, only those children who are highly favored by their mother can participate, or they are important cadres in the family.
Obviously, Brynn is not even one of the 34 ministers. She definitely did not belong to this group before, but this time she was specially instructed to participate. It is normal for Brynn to think so.
"Originally, I thought I was a special case, but I didn't expect that Sister Brynn would also have the opportunity to participate in this tea party. It's really surprising."
The person who spoke was Big Mom's 36th daughter Flampe, and the other person was her sister who was only one year younger than Brynn.
But because Big Mom has too many children, the relationship between these brothers and sisters is not actually very good.
Brynn is good at disguise and is a female movie star, so she prefers the innocent and kind-hearted Laura among the sisters.
Flamper, on the other hand, is unruly and willful, arrogant and arrogant, and because of her cute appearance, she has always been at the top of the list of the Charlotte family's favorite sisters.
Although Flampe is younger than Brynn, she is more powerful than Brynn. Not only are they similar in age, but they are also the first and second in the sister rankings. It is naturally quite normal for them to secretly compete with each other.
At this moment, Flampe had her long dark hair tied into a ponytail and was wearing a spotted gift, exuding a youthful and lively atmosphere.
In terms of appearance, Flampe felt that she was not inferior to Brynn in the slightest. However, when her eyes glanced at Brynn's chest, the former couldn't help but show a look of frustration.
However, she soon regained her confidence and said: "It's not that bigger is better, and she is older than me. I will definitely grow up next year."
Brynn did not intend to get too entangled with Flampe's behavior of secretly quarreling with her, but maintained the "weak" persona she had always maintained.
Perhaps because she thought it was boring to bully a doormat like Brynn all the time, Flampe soon lost interest and went straight to pester her Katakuri brother.
As the big shots continued to enter, the tea party gradually reached its climax. As the host of the banquet, Big Mom naturally sat at the top.
However, not everyone who comes to the tea party has a seat. Only those big shots with high status are eligible to sit.
And the closer it is to BIG MOM, the more impressive its status is.
Because of the one-person-one-table rule, Robin obviously couldn't sit with Wood. However, as the second-in-command of Wood Arms Company, Robin also had his own seat, but he was far behind Wood.
At the tea party, as usual, some envoys from the Kingdom came forward to pay homage to Big Mom. Then Perospero took out a flag belonging to Big Mom and asked these envoys from the Kingdom to bid.
The rules are quite simple and crude. The higher the "protection fee" that the kingdom can give each year, whoever can take this flag back and hang it on the island will accept the protection of the Big Mom Pirates.
Every BIG MOM tea party will give out one or two places, but obviously there is only one place this time, so the competition is more intense.
