Chapter 689: Enemies All Around

The Dragon Hunter Pirates’ airdrop was visible to everyone.

Naturally, Katakuri was among those who witnessed this scene. Seeing the Dragon Hunter Pirates arrive on Cake Island with Pacifistas, he was even more convinced that this was all a conspiracy!

Whether it was Capone Bege’s Fire Tank Pirates or Ian’s Dragon Hunter Pirates, they had long been secretly allied!

At that moment, Katakuri understood that Mama had made a huge mistake. She shouldn’t have allowed Ian to kill Arest. From all indications, Arest and Stussy’s target was only Ian. If they had known things would develop to this point, they should have preserved Arest, the Navy Admiral, and had him join forces with the Big Mom Pirates to take down the Dragon Hunter Pirates and suppress this rebellion!

But now, it’s too late to say anything. There’s no remedy for regret in this world. With Ian, a powerful challenger, in front, and a rampaging Big Mom who recognizes no kin behind, Katakuri realized that this might be the greatest crisis the Big Mom Pirates had ever faced!

And ironically, the creator of this crisis was someone whom Big Mom had invited to her tea party…

It’s hard to describe Katakuri’s feelings at this moment, but he also understood that if they couldn’t stop Ian and his Dragon Hunter Pirates’ offensive, the Big Mom Pirates would really be finished…

“Brother Peros, think of a way to lure Mama away!” Katakuri quickly made a decision and said to Perospero, “Mama’s current state is a huge obstacle. No matter what excuse you use, as long as you can lead her away from here!”

“Understood!” Perospero also had a serious expression and said, “Then, should the chefs continue rushing to make the wedding cake?”

After that, Katakuri said to Perospero, “But you, Brother Peros, you will be in great danger. If Mama finds out you’re lying to her, you might die!”

“I’ve already made up my mind!” Perospero licked his candy cane and said, “I’ll go. The Big Mom Pirates are in your hands now!”

Katakuri didn’t say anything, just nodded solemnly. Seeing this, Perospero didn’t say anything more and ran toward the rampaging Big Mom. After reaching her, he shouted loudly, “Mama! Calm down! The wedding cake is fine; I’ll take you to get the wedding cake!”

Soon, Perospero led Big Mom away in another direction. When Big Mom is in a rampaging state, only sweets can attract her attention. But as Katakuri said, Big Mom hates being deceived the most. Once Perospero can’t find the wedding cake for her, the rampaging Big Mom might directly take Perospero’s soul…

When the Dragon Hunter Pirates finished assembling, Perospero and Big Mom had just left. The remaining of Big Mom’s children all gathered around Katakuri.

Third son Charlotte Daifuku, fourth son Charlotte Oven, fifth son Charlotte Opera, tenth son Charlotte Cracker, nineteenth son Charlotte Mont d’Or, as well as eldest daughter Charlotte Compote, fourteenth daughter Charlotte Smoothie, eighteenth daughter Charlotte Galette, along with Charlotte Pudding and Charlotte Amande—these were the main members of the Charlotte family present. However, a large number of combatants from the Big Mom Pirates were on their way, including Baron Tamago, Bobbin, and Pekoms, whom Ian had seen before. When these people arrived, a large number of Big Mom Pirates’ personnel would also be present.

Katakuri glanced at his brothers and sisters but found that Brûlée was not there.

“Where’s Brûlée!?” Katakuri immediately asked.

As everyone turned their heads to look around, Caesar, who had been hiding in the back all this time, was finally discovered!

At this moment, he was still lying on top of Brûlée…

He had no choice; Caesar didn’t dare to let go of her mouth! He was afraid that once he let go, Brûlée would start screaming…

While he was covering Brûlée’s mouth, his eyes were darting around, trying to find a way to kidnap her and escape the scene.

However, before he could find an escape route, he was met with a series of angry glares!

Big Mom’s children all saw what Caesar was doing to Brûlée, and one by one, their eyes seemed to blaze with fire as they glared at him.

“Caesar, what are you doing to my lovely sister!?” Katakuri’s voice was low and heavy, like a knife slicing around Caesar’s ears.

Caesar was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. He hurriedly climbed off Brûlée, who was lying beneath him, her eyes already glazed over…

“Damn you! You tried to suffocate Brûlée!?” Charlotte Oven suddenly remembered that Caesar was a Gas-Gas Fruit user and immediately thought the worst, shouting in anger.

“No… No!” Caesar screamed, “It’s not what you think…”

However, at this moment, Brûlée finally came to her senses. Although Caesar’s kiss had felt good, she hadn’t forgotten the situation. Once she snapped back, still lying on the ground, she turned her head and shouted to Katakuri, “Brother Katakuri, it’s him! He’s the one who detonated the bomb! I saw it with my own eyes!”

Hearing this, Katakuri became even angrier, sneering, “So it was you, you bastard! It seems you really are in league with Ian and Capone Bege…”

“It’s really not me…” Caesar was about to cry.

But Katakuri and the others had no intention of listening to Caesar’s explanation. Smoothie was the first to charge at Caesar with her sword, intending to kill him.

Caesar wasn’t stupid. His Sea Prism Stone handcuffs had been removed; there was no reason to stand still and wait for death. So when he saw Smoothie charging, he immediately turned his body into gas and desperately fled backward.

But this guy’s escape route led him right to where a group of people was standing—not others, but the Vinsmoke family…

Caesar fled in panic toward them, giving Judge and the others no time to react.

In fact, Judge and his family hadn’t figured out what was going on. First, the cake suddenly exploded, then Big Mom went on a rampage, then the Fire Tank Pirates suddenly betrayed them, and then the Dragon Hunter Pirates descended from the sky. It all happened so fast that they couldn’t keep up.

In Judge’s mind, he hadn’t even decided whether to get involved in this mess when he saw Caesar flying toward them.

What to do? Should they take action to stop Caesar, to show that the Vinsmoke family stood with the Big Mom Pirates?

But… their opponent was Ian and his Dragon Hunter Pirates. Last time, Germa 66 had been chased across the sea by that brat Ian and a group of Shichibukai. That scene was still fresh in Judge’s memory. If they stood with the Big Mom Pirates, wouldn’t they have to fight Ian again?

Or should they simply not interfere and try to remain neutral?

However, before Judge could figure out what the Vinsmoke family should do, Caesar had already floated in front of Reiju, screaming, “Help… Help me! Aren’t you with Ian!? Please help me!”

Caesar recognized Reiju and naturally remembered the scene of her arriving in the carriage with Ian. Now that he was being chased by the Big Mom Pirates, he wanted to cling to Ian for protection. But since Ian wasn’t here, he instinctively sought help from Reiju.

Caesar—what a piece of work! His instinctive plea to Reiju wouldn’t have been a problem, but seeing this, Judge almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

Sure enough, before Reiju could answer, Katakuri’s cold voice came, “Smoothie! All the guests on the island can no longer be trusted!”

It’s not surprising that Katakuri would make such a judgment; after all, there were precedents. First, Stussy, an old friend of Big Mom’s, turned out to be a CP intelligence agent. Then, the priest hosting the wedding turned out to be a Navy Admiral. Now, even Capone Bege, the groom, had become a traitor. These successive betrayals dealt a huge blow to the Big Mom Pirates, making them feel like the whole world was against them.

So in this situation, Katakuri would rather kill the innocent than let the guilty escape, listing all non-Big Mom Pirates as suspects.

At this critical moment for the survival of the Big Mom Pirates, Katakuri could no longer care about the consequences. He didn’t know if there were more of Ian’s plans among the remaining guests, so he simply labeled them all as enemies to be attacked!

Thus, with Katakuri’s words, the Vinsmoke family, as well as Feld, Drug Peclo, and other underground bosses, were all implicated. Charlotte Oven, Charlotte Daifuku, and others had already started attacking these bosses!

In fact, even without Katakuri’s declaration, Smoothie, who was chasing Caesar, couldn’t help but become enraged when she saw Reiju!

After learning that Ian’s memory had not been altered and that everything he did was just an act, Smoothie was heartbroken. A scorned woman is irrational. So when she saw Reiju, she instinctively recalled the scene of Reiju and Ian standing shoulder to shoulder, and this imagination instantly turned into a realization: It was because of this little witch from the Vinsmoke family that Ian didn’t want me!

Moreover, Big Mom had previously told her to eliminate Reiju. Smoothie had long harbored thoughts of killing her. With these factors combined, her anger exploded!

“Damn you! I’ll kill you, you little hussy!” Smoothie’s face was terrifyingly dark. Abandoning Caesar, she leaped high and slashed down at Reiju from above!
