Chapter 156 The Beginning of Chaos
"Mamama! Welcome to my wedding!"
The high-spirited Charlotte Linlin wore a gorgeous white wedding dress that was clearly carefully designed. Even on her massive frame, it gave off a stunning sense of luxury.
She stood on the back of a white cloud, waving her right hand toward the guests on both sides of the path, greeting them with cheerful laughter.
A sun also danced around Charlotte Linlin, shooting small fireballs from its body that exploded in mid-air, becoming celebratory fireworks.
Of course, what drew the most attention was the other main character of today's wedding—her little husband, held in Charlotte Linlin's left arm around his waist. Donquixote Doflamingo's expression was utterly calm, almost numb.
Though this guy was much shorter than Charlotte Linlin, his body proportions were far better than hers. The white formal wear looked perfectly suited on him, making him appear unusually handsome.
Yes, Doflamingo's handsomeness was clearly visible because he wasn't wearing his usual sunglasses today.
Brett had excellent eyesight, so he could clearly see Doflamingo's true appearance.
How to put it... unexpectedly expected.
Nothing particularly special—just ordinary handsomeness.
Only his face lacked any smile, missing the arrogance that should have been there.
"Hey!"
Tesoro ran to the edge of the cake platform and shouted loudly toward Doflamingo, "Doflamingo, make sure you're happy!! Have lots of children with Big Mom!"
Doflamingo's originally numb expression instantly regained its vitality. He turned his head and looked in their direction.
Then he saw Tesoro waving at him with a face full of blessings, and Brett sitting to the side, also showing him a smile.
The muscles in Doflamingo's cheeks began to twitch.
It's all because of this guy!!
Everything that happened to him was due to this bastard's schemes!!
Brett!!!
He didn't dare do anything, didn't even dare move his body, but that didn't stop him from roaring in his heart about tearing Brett to pieces.
Brett's smile grew even wider.
That's exactly the kind of inner voice he wanted to hear.
This was precisely what he'd come here to hear, Doflamingo.
Ah, how satisfying.
"Congratulations on your wedding! Big Mom!"
Brett also loudly offered his blessing.
"Mamama!"
Charlotte Linlin gave Brett a meaningful look, then affectionately hugged Doflamingo tighter. "Doffy, did you hear that? Everyone's blessing us!"
Doflamingo said nothing.
What could he say?
In just those few exchanges, the cloud carrying the two had already flown before the priest and descended.
Next came the ceremony for the two to make their sacred vows.
"Hahahaha! This scene absolutely must be photographed!!"
Morgans was incredibly excited, taking picture after picture with his camera Den Den Mushi.
Hmm?
Ever since arriving at the venue, Brett's Observation Haki hadn't stopped. He needed to be prepared for any possible unexpected situations.
And then, he actually discovered something.
The corner of his mouth curved upward.
How very interesting.
The two newlyweds had already taken their positions before the priest.
The old priest, who had been diligently officiating weddings on Whole Cake Island for many years, remained calm even facing Charlotte Linlin. He composedly and skillfully opened the Bible in his hands, then cleared his throat.
"Do you, the bride, wish to marry your groom?"
According to normal procedure, there should be several more questions.
But the bride was Charlotte Linlin, who married on average once a year, so there was no need for more questions.
"I do!"
Charlotte Linlin naturally had no hesitation, laughing with tremendous spirit.
"Then," the old priest tremblingly turned to look at Doflamingo, "Groom, you surely wish to wed your bride and vow to be forever faithful to her, obey her, never betray her, dedicate everything you have to her, and together bear children that belong to you both, right?"
Without any intention of waiting for Doflamingo's answer, the old priest continued on his own, "Now, let us proceed with the vows kiss."
Were weddings really this simple and quick?
Brett couldn't help but want to laugh.
Charlotte surely had high expectations for this wedding.
The result was completely different from what she'd imagined.
But would the vows kiss really be that easy?
Charlotte Linlin had already lifted Doflamingo by his armpits with both hands, licking her bright red lips with her tongue. "Doffy, did you hear? Next comes the vows kiss!"
She pursed her lips, closed her eyes, and leaned in to kiss Doflamingo.
"Hahahaha! Record this! This scene absolutely must be recorded!!"
Tesoro was beside himself with glee. He'd somehow also pulled out a Den Den Mushi and was frantically photographing the wedding scene.
As if he wanted to preserve this classic moment forever.
"Hahahaha, exactly, exactly!"
Morgans agreed loudly, "Tomorrow's front page will use this photo! The wedding of a Sea Emperor and a Warlord!"
Here it comes.
Brett's mouth curved into a smile.
At the same moment, Katakuri, who had somehow already arrived at the scene and was originally standing guard nearby, had a flash of red light in his eyes.
The next second, he had already flickered to block in front of the newlywed couple, trident materializing in his hand.
"What's wrong, Katakuri?"
Charlotte Linlin, who had been preparing to kiss her new groom, paused in confusion.
She wasn't particularly skilled with Observation Haki.
"Be careful, Mama."
Katakuri's voice was cold, "Some fool who doesn't know their place has arrived."
RUMBLE!
The next instant, the entire earth began to shake.
The ground was rising, and this plaza instantly twisted and deformed.
The originally dreamlike dessert venue became fragmented in the blink of an eye.
"This is—"
Tesoro's eyes narrowed slightly.
Because he saw that at the center of the venue, the originally flat ground had suddenly risen high like it had undergone millions of years of evolution in an instant.
Rock from deep underground broke through the constraints of soil and surface, and after emerging above ground began to transform, taking the shape of a massive stone giant.
The stone giant stood upon this earth, seemingly towering straight into the clouds.
In terms of height alone, it exceeded five hundred meters.
"Doffy!! We've come to save you!!"
An abnormally shrill roar came from within the stone giant.
The enormous fist was already raised high, casting a heavy shadow across the plaza under the sunlight.
On top of that massive fist, there were several other figures.
Doflamingo's eyes widened.
But the next instant.
"What do you think you're doing!"
Katakuri's eyes focused.
Awakening.
