Chapter 209 Heading to Elbaf
Katakuri was very surprised at this moment.
Brett could hear this very clearly—he was probably surprised about why Brett had intervened to save him.
If he had to give reasons, there were probably two.
First, this guy was indeed a man Brett admired, and it would be too much of a waste for him to die at Charlotte Linlin's hands like this.
Then, the second reason, which was the truly crucial one.
Just now, when Charlotte Linlin punched toward the son blocking her path, very interesting thoughts had surfaced in Katakuri's mind.
So Brett naturally had a very interesting idea.
"Tsk, how disappointing, Brett."
Tesoro crouched on the rooftop, clicking his tongue unhappily. "I was really looking forward to how things would develop next."
"Mm, but this seems quite interesting too."
Brett versus a Pirate Emperor—who was really stronger now?
Tesoro was truly very curious about this.
"Thank goodness!"
Behind them, Charlotte Smoothie, who thought her most respected elder brother was about to suffer misfortune, looked at Brett's back and couldn't help but pump her fist excitedly.
Mama was currently in a rampage state without much conscious awareness. If this man was willing to help, then he could definitely stop her!
"Do you remember what I told you last time, Katakuri?"
Brett spoke with his back to Katakuri, his voice very soft, but Katakuri heard it clearly.
That was last year when Brett had traveled to Wano Country on a Charlotte family ship, having a brief conversation with Katakuri then.
Katakuri didn't answer, and Brett said nothing more, because the monster he'd pressed into the ground was roaring as she got back up.
"Give me cake!!"
Charlotte Linlin's massive fist struck toward Brett.
Though she looked like a middle-aged, overweight old woman, this woman's physical prowess was witnessed by the entire world.
She was a terrifying existence who could defeat giant heroes and destroy an entire giant village at age six.
Her strength was unmatched!
At least, that's how it should have been.
BOOM!!
A gale instantly blew away everything around them. The tremendous shockwave lifted all the surrounding ground.
Amid the volcano-like tremendous roar, Katakuri's eyes widened.
He wondered if something was wrong with his eyes.
Because he saw Brett casually raise his right hand, fingers spread, and just like that easily block his mother's punch.
"Whoa, this kind of strength is no joke!"
On the rooftop, Tesoro laughed like he was having a fit. "Brett, you bastard!"
Could he really stand alongside the Pirate Emperors now?
"Fish-Man Jujutsu—Ippon Seoi Nage!"
Brett grabbed Charlotte Linlin's hand, then twisted his body and powered through his waist, forcibly lifting this woman into the air and slamming her heavily into the ground.
Charlotte Linlin was forcibly smashed into the earth, leaving a comically person-shaped crater on the ground.
"..."
The Charlotte family officers watching from a distance were dumbfounded.
"Th-th-this guy!!"
The family's eldest daughter Charlotte Compote stammered, barely able to speak.
Though it was Mama in a berserk state, only using her abilities wildly and not even using Haki properly.
But even now she was being suppressed by Brett, who also wasn't using Haki!!
There was actually someone in the world who could overpower Mama in terms of strength!
Such a thing had never even been imagined! Though they'd expected it, wasn't this too exaggerated!
Such shocked voices came from the hearts of Charlotte family members in all directions.
Brett had no particular reaction.
After fusing with massive amounts of lineage factors, his talent was already a super-enhanced version of Kaido's.
Was there any reason for his physical strength to lose to Charlotte Linlin's?
"Quickly get her whatever she wants to eat."
Brett reached out and pushed Charlotte Linlin, who was trying to crawl out of the hole, back down. "I'll hold her here."
"..."
Katakuri was silent for a moment.
Then, "Thank you very much," he said.
Brett smiled.
The chefs probably hadn't fainted during that previous wave of Conqueror's Haki. In about half an hour, a huge chocolate cake was delivered.
"Cake!"
Charlotte Linlin, who had been continuously attacking Brett, immediately started drooling when she smelled the cake's aroma. She completely ignored Brett and lunged directly at the cake.
Then she began devouring it ravenously.
"It's finally over!"
The Charlotte family officers approached. Katakuri's brother Daifuku breathed a genuine sigh of relief.
Everyone's stress had been maxed out just now.
"We really have to thank you for your help this time, Brett!"
Perospero, who had hurriedly brought the cake with the chefs to save the day, said seriously. "Without you, who knows what destruction Mama would have caused."
"It's nothing."
Brett shook his head and looked at Charlotte Linlin.
This woman's appetite was terrifying—she swallowed the huge chocolate cake in just a few bites.
Then she fell backward onto the ground, a snot bubble emerging from her nostril. Snoring followed as she entered sweet dreams completely.
Or rather, had she never been awake from the start?
"Mama won't remember anything when she wakes up."
Perospero said. "So no need to worry about her getting angry about being stopped."
Brett nodded.
No matter what, this turbulent night could finally quiet down.
The night passed without incident.
The next day.
"Hahahaha! I heard you had quite a lot of trouble last night, Brett!"
Charlotte Linlin appeared before Brett with hearty laughter.
"It was alright."
Brett answered with a smile. "Isn't mutual help between friends only natural?"
"Mama mama! Though you say that, I've noted this favor too!"
Charlotte Linlin laughed heartily.
She seemed to not take last night's events seriously at all.
Brett had heard very clearly then.
When Charlotte Linlin's fist came down, a voice had indeed become completely silent.
Should he say, worthy of being Charlotte Linlin?
Anyway, it was time to leave next.
The ship's supplies had long been prepared. Brett and Tesoro boarded, plus Katakuri sent by Charlotte Linlin, and departure preparations were complete.
"Mama mama! Try to bring me some good news!"
With Charlotte Linlin waving and laughing farewell from shore, the ship set sail.
This time, they were truly heading for Giant Country.
