Chapter 287: The Escaping Whole Cake Island

"Totto Land is just ahead!"

Nami, dressed in light clothing, stood on the back of a giant Sea King, shielding her eyes with her hand as she looked into the distance.

The massive Sea King swam with great effort, and the ocean not far ahead appeared in a colorful, kaleidoscopic display, making Nami feel somewhat strange: "The ocean here, the color is so bizarre. Is there something special about Totto Land?"

"If you're talking about what's special, I've heard that Totto Land is an island chain composed of pure sweets; it's the most dreamlike fairy-tale paradise in the entire ocean."

"The ocean of Totto Land is made of fruit juice, and the islands of Totto Land are composed of various delicious desserts like biscuits, chocolate, mousse cake, donuts, candy, and cream."

Violet stood beside Nami and spoke with a serious expression. As a member of the New World Doflamingo Pirates and a user of the Glare-Glare Fruit, her understanding of Totto Land was far clearer than someone like Nami who came from a small place.

"How is that possible!?"

An expression of disbelief appeared on Nami's face:

"The ocean turning into fruit juice, the islands turning into desserts... where in the world is there such a place!"

"It's not necessarily impossible. I've heard that almost all members of the Charlotte Pirates have eaten food-type Devil Fruits, including the Biscuit-Biscuit Fruit, the Mochi-Mochi Fruit, the Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit, the Fry-Fry Fruit, the Butter-Butter Fruit, the Cook-Cook Fruit..."

"Among these Devil Fruits, many can create something from nothing, producing large amounts of food. Once developed to Awakening, turning an entire island into a Gourmet Island and turning the entire sea area into a fruit juice sea is not impossible."

The one speaking was Uchiha Feiyu. He wore a smile as he looked at Totto Land in the distance, but just then, everyone suddenly felt a slight tremor in the seawater.

"What's going on? An undersea earthquake? There shouldn't be large-scale oceanographic changes here in Totto Land!"

As a Navigator, Nami's expression was somewhat astonished. The sea conditions in the New World were extremely harsh, but they followed a rule: when approaching an island, those bizarre weather patterns and sea conditions would subside.

This was likely because the island's magnetic field acted as a stabilizing force, limiting all sorts of terrifying weather; otherwise, the New World would likely be uninhabitable.

Although the islands of Totto Land were somewhat strange and filled with various sweets, they still possessed the most important stable climate function; otherwise, they would have long since disintegrated under the various harsh weather conditions. This was the reason Nami felt strange about the undersea earthquake.

"That is... it's a dragon!! A dragon has coiled around Whole Cake Island..."

Violet activated the power of the Glare-Glare Fruit, watching the situation at the cake while speaking with surprise. As a massive tremor came from afar, the entire Whole Cake Island flew into the sky, and at the same time, towering waves surged in the distance.

As the center of Totto Land, Whole Cake Island was not small in area. Even from this great distance, everyone could vaguely see the cake-like castle on the island. At the very front of Whole Cake Island, a slender dragon shadow was dancing.

And the entire Whole Cake Island was also surrounded by fiery red Flame Clouds, being pulled by the giant dragon and flying toward the distance in a very short time.

At the same time, a large number of cloud Homies emerged beneath Whole Cake Island. With the help of these Homies, the flight speed of Whole Cake Island became faster and faster, and it soon disappeared into the horizon.

"What on earth... is going on? Whole Cake Island has disappeared..."

An expression of disbelief appeared on the faces of the group; they completely failed to understand what had just happened.

Uchiha Feiyu, however, had a thoughtful expression on his face. While others didn't know, he was very clear: that flying dragon just now must be Kaido of the Beasts from the Beasts Pirates!

Kaido had moved Whole Cake Island away. Excluding the slim possibility that Charlotte Linlin and Kaido had suddenly gone mad and were going to fight to the death, the biggest factor was likely that these two guys were preparing to form an alliance!

In the original story, the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates had once formed an alliance. This time, under his own threat, it was not impossible for an alliance to reappear.

The most important thing was his own pressure... The Four Emperors of the sea were indeed people who considered themselves supreme, but they were not fools. When they were weak in the past, it wasn't as if they hadn't joined the Rocks Pirates.

Now, facing Uchiha Feiyu, whom they could not defeat no matter what, huddling together was the best choice.

"I just don't know... what choice will Shanks make? Will this guy join this pirate alliance?"

Shanks had been waiting for Luffy, that is, following the orders of Captain Roger, waiting for the person who could change the world. Uchiha Feiyu could be certain that the person he was waiting for was definitely not himself. Facing this situation, what kind of choice would this special Four Emperor make?

After the thoughts in his mind circled for a moment, Uchiha Feiyu chuckled. Even if all the pirates in the New World united now, so what? The gap in strength was already worlds apart. The so-called Four Emperor-level pirates, in the eyes of the current Uchiha Feiyu, were probably just a bit stronger than ordinary cannon fodder, belonging to the category of high-level grunts.

Unless hundreds or thousands of Four Emperors could emerge in the New World, Uchiha Feiyu might feel it was a bit troublesome. A mere three Four Emperors, added together, could be wiped out in a few moves.

"Alright, stop being silly here. Let's go check out the other islands of Totto Land! Although I suspect that the other members of the Charlotte Pirates have likely already left."

Uchiha Feiyu gave the order and said no more. Since the two pirate groups had decided to cooperate, they naturally wouldn't leave important members behind. Even if there were some stragglers from the Charlotte Pirates, they were likely the peripheral members of the peripheral members.

Sure enough, as Uchiha Feiyu expected, Robin, Nami, and the others took a tour of Totto Land. Apart from ordinary civilians, they didn't even see a single Homie; they had all left with Whole Cake Island.

However, while the people of the Charlotte Pirates could leave, the residents of Totto Land had no way to leave with them. Not to mention the large number of people, they didn't provide any increase to the pirate group's combat power.

Fortunately, Charlotte Linlin still observed a bit of morality and didn't extract the souls of these residents to create Homies; otherwise, the residents of Totto Land would have all died.

Although the people of the Charlotte Pirates had left and Whole Cake Island was gone, the other islands of Totto Land had not changed at all, and these islands were also very rich in produce.

Chocolate Island, Wheat Island, Cream Island, Butter Island... although these islands were not like the cake one, which was almost entirely made of food ingredients, they were still extremely rich in produce and were treasure lands possessing many dessert ingredients.

The group replenished their supplies here and then began a new journey.

The new target was naturally set at Wano Country. In Uchiha Feiyu's view, if these pirates really joined forces, then the headquarters would definitely be established in Wano Country. Even in the entire New World, Wano Country could be called a top-tier, easily defensible and hard-to-attack dangerous location. Besides that, the area of Wano Country was much larger than typical island nations. Although it couldn't compare to Alabasta, it was at least ten times larger than Dressrosa, and it could provide a certain level of logistical support.

Moreover, Kaido himself started with arms dealing, and the various weapons he had prepared were piled up like mountains, which was also a huge boost to the entire pirate alliance, not to mention that this guy's greatest wish was to start a huge war.

"Where should we go next, Lord Feiyu?"

Princess Shirahoshi asked after communicating with the giant Sea King beneath her feet, looking at Uchiha Feiyu.

"Head to Wano Country! Let Violet lead the way, and Nami will be in charge of directing the navigation. In a few days, we might encounter some reinforcements sent by the World Government."

"Reinforcements?"

"That's right. That team of reinforcements should have already departed from Punk Hazard."

"I know, it must be Sister Momousagi, right?"

Nami clapped her hands as if she had thought of something, and Uchiha Feiyu nodded:

"That's right. I just communicated via Den Den Mushi. In two days, Momousagi's fleet should be able to rendezvous with us!"

Two days later.

A Marine warship that looked very massive gradually approached the giant Sea King. The beautiful and alluring Momousagi stood on the deck, wearing a smile on her face, and soared into the sky, transforming into a pink Shenron.

The Shenron descended from the sky, landed on the back shell of the Sea King, and transformed back into her original form. The smiling Momousagi hugged Uchiha Feiyu, and a pair of warm, massive mounds directly performed a double-sided sandwich on Uchiha Feiyu.

There was no help for it; Momousagi had a standard Admiral physique, standing over 2.5 meters tall. Even though Uchiha Feiyu was 2 meters tall, without using the Momo-Momo Fruit's ability to change size, he could only reach the other's chest, so he naturally could only enjoy a full "face-cleansing milk" experience.

"Alright, Momousagi, it looks like you've been promoted recently?"

After Momousagi let go, Uchiha Feiyu stepped back two paces and glanced at her Marine attire and the giant warship behind her, a smile unable to help but appear at the corner of his mouth.

"That's right, I am now a regular Marine Admiral!"

Momousagi puffed out her chest, a proud look appearing on her face: "And I am the strongest among them all! Even Aokiji is no longer my match now!"

Uchiha Feiyu didn't feel any surprise at this. Momousagi was already an Admiral Candidate, and for her strength to improve further and become an Admiral was the most normal thing in the world.

After Dual Cultivation enhancement, coupled with Haki, and the cultivation of the Sutra of the Present Tathagata and the Sutra of the Past Sumeru, Momousagi already possessed Admiral-level strength; she was just slightly inferior to a genuine Admiral.

Now that she has gained the bonus of the Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit, she naturally possesses power not inferior to a genuine Marine Admiral.

Moreover, Momousagi herself possesses the Future Unborn Sutra, and having spent so many years in the Marine, even becoming an Admiral candidate, the Faith Power she possesses, while not vast, is certainly not small.

Relying on this Faith Power, Momousagi developed the Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit to Awakening in the shortest possible time, exhausting its potential—this Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit, after all, is not the true Azure Dragon Fruit; although its external manifestations are identical, its potential is still far inferior to the real Azure Dragon Fruit.

However, ordinary humans can at most develop a Devil Fruit to the level of Awakening, and any further potential simply cannot be tapped into; from this perspective, the Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit is actually no different from the Azure Dragon Fruit for the humans of the One Piece World.

At the very least, Momousagi's current development of the Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit has already surpassed Kaido, who is at the fruit Awakening level, by a significant margin; in the One Piece World, even those monsters would at most reach this level of development after a lifetime of effort.

Although Kaido's strength largely comes from his own talent, at least half is attributed to the power of the Azure Dragon Fruit, and since Momousagi has now surpassed Kaido in the development of the Azure Dragon Fruit, her own strength naturally exceeds that of a Marine Admiral.

At the very least, the only remaining Marine Admiral, Aokiji, is not Momousagi's match in terms of strength; one could even say that if not for Momousagi's sudden rise and lack of a bit of foundation, she would not be a Marine Admiral right now, but the Fleet Admiral.

Momousagi held Uchiha Feiyu, chattering on about many things within the Marine, including her glorious feat of beating up Chaton and defeating Aokiji.

This is also the reason why her position as Marine Admiral could be finalized in such a short time; being able to defeat the current Marine Admiral, unless one lacks the desire, makes promotion to Admiral a near certainty.

"Alright, Momousagi, I remember telling you everything through the Den Den Mushi, right? This time, our targets are all the Pirates in the New World."

"Of course, Lord Feiyu!"

Momousagi narrowed her eyes slightly, vaguely revealing a hint of belligerence: "This time, I also want to see if there is any gap between that true Azure Dragon Fruit user, known as the strongest creature on land, sea, and air, Beast Pirates Kaido, and me, an Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit user!"

"If I can defeat one of the Four Emperors this time, then the matter of the so-called Fleet Admiral can be considered settled!"

The Fleet Admiral is not necessarily the strongest in the Marine, but the title of "the strongest" is a huge bargaining chip in the competition for Fleet Admiral.

With the title of the strongest, plus the merit of defeating one of the Four Emperors, Momousagi can naturally become the Fleet Admiral.

Momousagi herself is not a woman who values status very much, nor is she like those male Marine Admirals who think about how to change the world, so she was not originally too concerned about the position of Fleet Admiral.

However... she glanced at Uchiha Feiyu, lowered her head, and whispered softly into his ear:

"My lord, don't you enjoy the services of women with noble status? Once I become the Fleet Admiral, you will be able to fully enjoy the services of a female Fleet Admiral at Marine Headquarters."
