Chapter 275
"Before your engagement ceremony proceeds, find an opportunity to have Pudding drip blood to claim the ring and wear it. Then, you'll see clearly how Pudding truly feels about you," Lord Lord Sima Di said.
If Pudding hasn't fallen for Sanji, then everything proceeds according to plan.
But if she really has...
"Di, are you still not going to tell us the real plan?" Sanji said in a low voice.
These days, Lord Lord Sima Di had been using secrecy as an excuse, refusing to tell them the full plan.
But now that it's about to start, are you still not going to say it?
"Actually, it's not that I don't want to tell you. To be precise, there are too many plans," Lord Lord Sima Di shrugged. "Depending on how many spectators show up, the plans will be different. Just watch for my signal and adapt to the situation."
Sanji sighed helplessly and waved his hand to indicate he understood.
He looked at the green jade rings again...
"Pudding-chan, I hope... you don't let me down!"
After several days of getting along,
Sanji had truly fallen for this three-eyed girl, but he didn't know what her true thoughts would be...
"Swish—"
Lord Lord Sima Di directly used the True Love Rings' ability to teleport back to the banquet scene.
"Ma ma ma ma—Di, you're back," BIG MOM waved. "Come sit at the table, the wedding is about to start!"
The Straw Hat Pirates' seats were right next to BIG MOM's main table.
Compared to the seats of Perospero, Katakuri, and others, they were closer to BIG MOM.
Now they were even being invited to sit at the same table as BIG MOM...
That was a privilege only the "Mother Carmel photo" had!
However...
"Forget it, BIG MOM. You should sit by yourself, otherwise I'm afraid I won't have anything to eat," Lord Lord Sima Di teased.
He didn't want to sit with a female fat pig.
This lack of courtesy made many people at the scene look over. Daring to refuse BIG MOM's invitation?
The organ dealer incident was a warning.
Just when everyone thought
BIG MOM would be furious, BIG MOM just gave a few weird laughs and didn't force Lord Lord Sima Di too much.
—After all, this was a powerhouse who could sit on equal footing with her and held the key giant race potion.
BIG MOM had a high tolerance for Lord Lord Sima Di.
This made the surrounding people marvel!
"Does the Devil-Buster really have such great face?"
"Maybe BIG MOM is just in a good mood today?"
"Heh! That's someone who even... those who know, know."
"Why is there meat on their table?"
"There's meat at BIG MOM's banquet?"
"Could BIG MOM have taken a fancy to the Devil-Buster?"
The guests discussed among themselves, and some even took the initiative to talk to the Straw Hat Pirates.
Most of the Straw Hat Pirates had no interest in socializing.
Except...
"Hahaha! Let me, the brave warrior Usopp, tell everyone about the heroic record of me leading the Straw Hat Pirates to defeat the Marines at the Summit War!"
This guy started bragging again.
But today was a joyous day, so no one went to expose him, and they all watched Usopp clowning around happily.
Only Judge's family, who were clearly one of the "protagonists" today but were left alone behind the Straw Hat Pirates, had Judge glaring at Lord Lord Sima Di with great annoyance.
81. Wedding Shock! Katakuri Bursts Out!
"Welcome everyone to today's main event!"
"Next, let's welcome the newlyweds!"
"Charlotte family's 35th daughter, Charlotte Pudding!"
"And Charlotte family's 29th daughter, Charlotte Chiffon, and Germa 66's fourth prince, Vinsmoke Yonji!"
Sanji, with a beaming smile, walked onto the red carpet holding Pudding, who also had a sweet smile.
Lord Lord Sima Di glanced at their left hands; both were wearing the green True Love Rings.
Looks like the pairing was successful?
The emotionless Yonji and the cold-natured Cosette followed closely behind.
Just that...
Both were staring fixedly at the backs of their brother and sister, never having thought they would become his/her foil.
They were clearly the ones who were bullied when they were young!
But this was the will of BIG MOM and Judge, and they couldn't resist at all—perhaps they never even thought of resisting.
Amidst the melodious wedding march,
the two pairs of newlyweds stood on the wedding platform one after another and bowed slightly to the many guests.
"Royal wedding! Now begins!"
"Shoo—"
"Shoo—"
"Shoo—"
Fireworks rose one after another, blooming brilliantly in the suddenly darkened sky, forming the pirate flags of the BIG MOM Pirates and the Straw Hat Pirates, occasionally interspersed with some Germa 66 symbols.
Compared to ordinary people focusing on the brilliant fireworks, the Straw Hat Pirates were looking at the black clouds that appeared abruptly in the sky.
["It's some kind of special cloud Homie," Facing Facing Nami guessed in the mental link. "There isn't much lightning power, only a simple ability to block light."]
["Yohohoho—there is indeed a faint soul reaction," the soul master Brook commented.]
["Even so, it's an eye-opener," Crocus sighed.]
["So amazing!" Luffy's eyes glowed. "I really want this Devil Fruit ability!"]
Must say...
The Soul-Soul Fruit is indeed a quite buggy Devil Fruit.
But...
Lord Lord Sima Di looked at Brook: ["Brook, your soul fire and the Revive-Revive Fruit both counter these Homies, right?"]
["Yohohoho—you found out."]
During the discussion,
Perospero, who was acting as the temporary host, also announced the final result—
"This represents the two most evil pairs of newlyweds in the world, who will surely make the world bloom with the most evil flowers!"
"Let's cheer for the newlyweds!"
"Pop—"
The black clouds in the sky suddenly dissipated, and bright light shone on the newlyweds and everyone else.
Simultaneously,
the head chef Streusen also appeared, magically raising a super-giant wedding cake in the center, making BIG MOM stare at it without blinking.
"Wedding cake!"
"My favorite wedding cake!"
Looking at that state, it was almost exactly the same as Sanji's right now.
—This is the manifestation of a dream about to be satisfied!
"What a solemn wedding!"
"What a big cake!"
"Is the top of this wedding cake actually the place for the vows?"
