Chapter 157 CP in Action
When the massive stone giant revealed its form, Tesoro was stunned for a moment, then immediately burst into loud laughter.
"Hahahaha, Brett! Doflamingo's subordinates are quite loyal to him!"
Indeed, they were extremely loyal. Ordinary people wouldn't have the guts to break into Totto Land—this dragon's den—for their boss, to directly face Charlotte Linlin, this monster among monsters.
However, this loyalty could now only earn them something else that would make Tesoro and Brett laugh heartily.
"This is not a place where you can cause trouble."
Katakuri swept his right hand.
The awakening of a Paramecia Devil Fruit ability could affect external matter.
And now was the moment when this ability reached its peak.
In an instant, the massive stone giant's body turned milky white.
This stone giant hadn't appeared from thin air—it was simply someone using their ability to forcibly mold stone into this shape.
The stone giant was still a natural product, which meant it could still be affected by awakened power.
"What?"
On the giant's fist, Trebol—sticky and gooey as if his entire body was made of mucus—instantly paled.
"It's awakening!!"
As a member of Doflamingo's family, he naturally had no reason not to know what the awakening of a Paramecia Devil Fruit ability would bring.
In the blink of an eye, the stone giant hundreds of meters tall had been directly transformed into mochi.
Then, as Katakuri clenched his right fist, the giant made of mochi instantly disintegrated.
It began spinning madly like a tornado, finally collapsing inward and becoming a huge mochi ball that gently fell to the ground.
On the surface of this enormous mochi ball, the officers of the Donquixote Family who had come to rescue Doflamingo were arranged in a row, their lower halves deeply embedded in the mochi with only their upper bodies exposed.
"Damn it!! So sticky!!"
Diamante, one of the family's top officers, struggled desperately.
But with his strength, he couldn't break free from the mochi's restraints at all.
"Mama," Katakuri calmly turned back to look at his mother, "how should we deal with these guys?"
"Mamama!"
Today's bride grinned as she looked at her groom, "Doffy, these guys are all your family, right? So, how do you think we should deal with them?"
"You haven't said a word to me these past few days, but I still want to ask—how do you think we should deal with them?"
Doflamingo remained silent.
Just silently like that.
Then,
"Please at least spare their lives, Linlin."
Doflamingo's voice was very hoarse, "After all, today is our wedding."
Something seemed to shatter within his heart.
"Mamama!!"
Charlotte Linlin embraced Doflamingo and planted a heavy kiss on his face.
On his face—her large mouth was almost as big as Doflamingo's entire face.
Watching this happy and sweet scene, Brett couldn't help but applaud for them.
Tesoro suppressed his laughter and immediately joined in.
The applause began to spread, eventually resounding throughout the ruined plaza.
The kiss lasted half a minute. Only after the lipstick had turned Doflamingo's entire face bright red did Charlotte Linlin reluctantly set him down on the ground.
"Mamama, did you hear that, Katakuri? Release these guys! Let them attend this wedding as Doffy's family!"
"Understood."
Katakuri nodded, then released his right hand. The mochi ball immediately cracked open, dumping all the Donquixote Family members onto the ground.
"Prepare a table for them," he said.
"Doffy..."
Trebol was streaming with tears and snot.
Their king, the man they believed could become Pirate King, had now fallen to this state.
He actually had to rely on flattering Charlotte Linlin to preserve himself and the others.
Doffy!
Your heart must be crying too, right?
Whether Doflamingo was crying or not, Tesoro didn't know. He only knew that he himself was now extremely excited.
The more miserable that guy was, the happier he became.
However, did you think this was the end, Big Mom?
Brett chuckled softly.
He could hear very clearly—the inner voice of that woman Stussy.
Nervous and anxious, she was probably waiting for something.
But among the guests here, he couldn't hear any strange voices.
Where exactly was CP0 hiding—
"Be careful, Mama!!"
Katakuri suddenly turned around, shooting toward Charlotte Linlin like lightning.
Almost simultaneously, the air in front of Charlotte Linlin suddenly cracked.
No, rather, space suddenly cracked.
The invisible space suddenly opened like a door, then a figure rushed out from the door, grabbing Doflamingo's shoulder.
The next instant, he was about to pull Doflamingo directly into the spatial door.
Brett was genuinely stunned this time.
This ability was—
Katakuri's expression grew grave.
He wouldn't make it in time!
But there was no need to worry.
"What do you think you're doing!!"
Charlotte Linlin suddenly roared in fury.
Black lightning roared from her body.
BUZZ!!
Heavy pressure instantly affected everyone at the venue.
Even though she hadn't directed her Conqueror's Haki at the crowd, just the aftershock caused numerous guests to roll their eyes back and faint. The air seemed to solidify, and everyone's breathing became difficult!
What tremendous Conqueror's Haki!
Brett's expression grew serious.
This was the bearing of an Emperor.
The person who had grabbed Doflamingo trembled.
Originally, he only needed to pull Doflamingo backward to take him away.
But now, such a simple action was incredibly difficult.
Facing the monster's flood-like Conqueror's Haki, his body completely froze.
What was worse, this surging Conqueror's Haki poured through the open air door into the interior.
Someone with insufficient strength fainted.
If it were just some ordinary person, that would be fine, but as someone so weak yet specifically chosen for today's important mission, he had only one function.
The air door trembled, then collapsed completely the next second.
The air rippled, squeezing out several figures.
"Tch."
Brett clicked his tongue.
What a shame.
They were just a little short.
So if they came with this ability, why couldn't they wait a bit longer?
Even though Charlotte Linlin doted on Doflamingo extremely and took him everywhere, they could have completely waited until she let her guard down before making their move.
Were they afraid Doflamingo might lose control of his mouth and leak secrets?
Brett could hear very clearly—this woman Stussy was lamenting in her heart.
"Mamama! So then,"
Charlotte Linlin stepped forward, "Life or Death!!"
