Chapter 265: Come with Me, Smoothie

Sabaody Archipelago.

Inside an unnamed bar.

Katakuri silently tossed the candy beans in his hand, his heart wavering with indecision.

Exchanging Smoothie for Lin Yu was Mother's Decision; although he had no right to interfere, he did not need to bear a huge psychological burden.

However, whether to give Snamon to Lin Yu to facilitate the completion of the trade was something only he could decide.

This left his inner self tormented, unable to make a decision for a long time.

Beside Katakuri, Daifuku, Oven, and others were all persuading him to accept Lin Yu's proposal.

"Katakuri, since the God-Slayer Lin Yu wants Snamon, just give it to him; after all, you've already given Smoothie, so one more doesn't matter."

"Daifuku speaks well; do not forget, Mother is determined to have Lola and the technology of the flying ship."

"And as long as we have these two things, Mother will surely ascend to the throne of the Pirate King."

"As Mother's children, Smoothie and Snamon should make a sacrifice."

In the eyes of Daifuku, Oven, and others, sacrificing a few younger brothers and sisters to allow Mother to successfully ascend to the Pirate King's throne was a very profitable deal.

Moreover, once Mother ascends to the Pirate King's throne, retrieving Smoothie and Snamon at that time would be a very simple matter.

Therefore, they could not understand why Katakuri could not make a decision for so long.

Hearing the nonsense from Daifuku and Oven, the veins on Katakuri's forehead bulged, and his heart was filled with extreme anger.

Afterwards, he opened the Den Den Mushi on his wrist and asked in a deep voice:

"Have you found the whereabouts of the God-Slayer Lin Yu?"

Upon learning that Snamon had been captured, he immediately dispatched combatants under his command to search for Lin Yu's whereabouts on the Sabaody Archipelago.

As long as the God-Slayer Lin Yu could be captured, all the difficulties facing Katakuri would be resolved effortlessly.

However, the reply coming from the Den Den Mushi directly shattered Katakuri's hope.

"Not found yet, temporarily."

Hearing this reply, Katakuri directly closed the Den Den Mushi and continued to wait patiently.

Not long after, Stomp arrived at the bar and handed a letter to Katakuri.

"Brother, this is a letter Sister Smoothie gave you."

Katakuri was stunned, immediately sensing something was wrong, and hurriedly opened the letter in his hand.

"Brother Katakuri, I have taken Pegguy; I will bring back Lola and the flying ship data, and I hope you can give it to Mother. After this, I hope you and Snamon can obtain freedom..."

After opening the letter and seeing the contents written inside, Katakuri suddenly rushed toward the location of the Tart Ship.

At this moment, Smoothie had already taken Pegguy and vanished without a trace.

Seeing Smoothie's empty room, Katakuri fell to his knees, painfully covering his face.

He, who was determined to protect his younger brothers and sisters, never expected to be protected by his sisters in return, filling his heart with regret, unwillingness, and

—Anger!!!

Daifuku and Oven, who had just arrived, saw Katakuri in this state and were immediately shocked.

"Katakuri, what exactly happened..."

The words of the two had just left their mouths.

A terrifying aura instantly erupted from Katakuri, sweeping around and shattering all the glass and wine bottles in the room.

Seeing the terrifying aura now displayed by Katakuri, Daifuku and Oven were both stunned.

Because they felt the aura emanating from Katakuri was already approaching that of their Mother, Big Mom, causing them to inexplicably feel awe.

Katakuri's strength has become even stronger!!!

Evening.

On the sea near the Sabaody Archipelago.

Smoothie, riding a small Tart Ship, carried Pegguy toward the location Snamon had just provided to her.

Soon, Smoothie saw a merchant ship wandering in the target sea area.

And on the bow of the merchant ship, several figures stood, gazing toward her direction.

And one of those figures was as tall as her—none other than Smoothie's younger sister, Snamon.

When the Tart Ship where Smoothie was located approached the merchant ship.

A figure dressed in a slim-fitting office outfit appeared from the mast behind Smoothie.

Turning to look at the half-body Luo Bin behind her, Smoothie spoke:

"I have brought Pegguy; I need to see Lola and the blueprints for the flying ship."

Luo Bin inspected the Tart Ship once, finding that apart from some chess soldiers, only Smoothie, Knight Crane Randolph, and the unconscious Pegguy were present.

After confirming everything was fine, Luo Bin looked at Smoothie and smiled: "The items were prepared long ago."

As soon as Luo Bin finished speaking, a small boat was lowered from the God Slave, carrying a box, an unconscious short and fat figure, and a pair of Sea Prism Stone handcuffs; under the control of Luo Bin's clone, the small boat sailed toward Smoothie's Tart Ship.

Not long after, the small boat arrived at the Tart Ship's location and was hoisted up by the chess soldiers on the Tart Ship.

Knight Crane Randolph carefully inspected Lola's appearance and nodded at Smoothie.

At this moment, Smoothie also confirmed the authenticity of the flying ship data in the box.

Afterwards, Smoothie frowned and asked Luo Bin:

"Why are there two sets of data?"

Luo Bin glanced at Randolph and said calmly: "The other set was prepared by Lin Yu for Katakuri, out of consideration for you and Snamon."

Upon hearing this, Smoothie opened her mouth, but for a moment did not know what to say.

After a long while, Smoothie finally spoke to Randolph, who looked like a rabbit beside her:

"Randolph, take Lola and the box back and give them to Brother Katakuri."

"As you wish, my lord Smudge." The crane knight Randolph loaded Lola and the crate onto the crane and soared straight into the sky.

No sooner had Randolph taken flight than the figures of several Tart ships appeared on the distant horizon.

It was Katakuri and his group, pursuing them using Smudge's Life Card.

To prevent her subordinate Generals from betraying her, Big Mom had created Life Cards for all four of them, allowing her to locate them at any time.

Seeing Katakuri and his group appear, Luo Bin frowned and turned her head to look at Smudge.

"Lola has a remote-controlled bomb on her; you had better not try anything."

To prevent Smudge from going back on her word, the collar around Lola's neck contained a remote-controlled bomb made by Reiju using Noko's Little Chili Bomb.

Seeing Katakuri appear in the distance, Smudge smiled happily and said:

"Do not misunderstand; I will obediently go with you."

Her twin sister Snamon was still by Lin Yu's side, so Smudge would naturally never do such a thing.

Having finished speaking, Smudge took the Sea-Prison Stone handcuffs from the small boat and voluntarily cuffed her own hands.

Seeing this, Luo Bin immediately dispelled her clone.

The next second.

A bolt of lightning rose from the Divine Servant, struck the deck of the Tart ship, and revealed Lin Yu's figure.

Smudge looked at the handsome man appearing before her and instinctively gritted her teeth.

If nothing unexpected happened, the man before her would be her, Smudge's, future husband.

Approaching Smudge, Lin Yu extended his right hand, looked at her, and smiled:
