Queen was very angry. He had invested a great deal of time and effort into cultivating these bananas and just as he was about to harvest them, someone tried to steal them. Oh no, it wasn’t just stealing, it was a blatant robbery in broad daylight.
He is the mighty Queen, one of the Beasts Pirates..umm..fourth in command, on par with Arceus and Kaido, and above Shayna and King. However, even the fourth in command is a high-ranking officer who could get angry sometimes.
Moreover, Queen has accumulated a lot of resentment. Fights between the Beasts Pirates’ officers were common, with Shayna and King sparring practically every day. But being a researcher, he was often caught up in unintended conflicts.
Although most of the time, things are peaceful, unexpected situations occur from time to time, such as when he faced an unfortunate incident because of the bounty.
Among the officers, those who are a suitable age for him to fight with are stronger than him, and those whom he can defeat are too young. If he were to pull along Olga for training, then Shayna and Kaido would not hesitate to drag him along for training for a few days. The apprentices having the attribute of team pet is not a joke.
On the other hand, the Beasts Pirates have now established strict internal regulations, and at most he can only scold his subordinates when they make mistakes.
As for some of his experiments, he could only try them on stubborn pirates who refuse to surrender.
Kaido is quite clever. Since now there is someone who could orderly manage the affairs of the crew, he could focus on what he wanted to do, which is naturally the best.
As long as they did not get too close to drunken Kaido, the Beasts Pirates would not face too much danger.
Queen has undergone a transformation, thanks to Tropius’ abilities, which has allowed him to explore new ways to modify himself. By combining Tropius’s abilities with his own, he has developed several new fighting styles.
Some research has already become his hobby, rather than a necessity.
“So, it was you guys who stole the bananas I cultivated?” All the pirates of Beasts Pirates ran behind Queen and confronted Big Mom’s people. The person who had been covered in candy was also dragged over.
Each of them has a physique much stronger than ordinary people, so they won’t be out of breath in such a short amount of time.
Officers were the backbone of pirates, and Queen’s appearance had given them more confidence.
“Pero, pero~ This is what mother needs, you should gratefully offer it up for her.” Perospero licked his candy cane, showing no concern for Queen’s earlier seed attack.
“Offer it? Who do you think I am? You should all disappear from this island! Use your bodies as fertilizer to compensate me for my lost bananas!”
Queen’s body began to swell, and a huge towering humanoid Tropius appeared in front of them. It gathered a green energy in its mouth and fired off an energy ball.
Seeing the green energy ball coming towards him, Perospero produced a large amount of candy syrup in his hand, which then formed into a tall candy wall.
Perospero is a candy man who ate the Lick-Lick Fruit, which allows him to create various shapes of candy and syrup. The syrup he creates can also corrode and infect other objects, turning them into candy.
The solidified candy is very hard, and the candy wall he made is strong enough to withstand the bombardment. Although the energy ball created some cracks in the candy wall, it was not directly destroyed.
However, the pieces of candy that flew out after the wall shattered damaged the nearby bananas. Watching the broken bananas fall onto the ground, both Queen and Perospero’s expressions became ugly.
Queen’s expression was ugly because his bananas were destroyed, and it was the same reason for Perospero. He had promised Big Mom before he left that he would definitely bring these bananas back.
Moreover, to demonstrate his capabilities, he refused to bring along other siblings and instead only brought some of his subordinates.
There is no pirate flag hanging here. Queen’s initial thought was that there would always be individuals seeking to make a name for themselves by intentionally challenging the territories of other pirates.
This was originally an uninhabited island, and as long as there was no pirate flag, no one should come here looking for trouble.
And in the beginning, Big Mom’s crew simply sought to locate wild bananas as a contingency measure, but they inadvertently stumbled upon Queen’s plantation.
As a result, young Charlotte Linlin was so impressed by the taste of these bananas that if they couldn’t bring them back, or if these bananas were destroyed, Perospero couldn’t imagine the consequences and broke out into cold sweat.
In regards to mission failures, Big Mom’s patience is no match for Kaido’s, and this applies even to her own children.
The idea of using the fastest and with least repercussions means to deal with the enemy came to both Queen and Perospero’s minds.
Earlier, because of the bananas, they started fighting directly without paying attention to the symbol on the other side’s body. Now, because of the bananas, they were forced to calm down and also saw the symbol on the other’s body.
Queen’s right shoulder has a tattoo, and there was a symbol on the chest of the Big Mom’s subordinates.
However, this did not ease the situation. Queen knew from the previous phone call that Kaido and Big Mom had some personal dealings, and Perospero was born when Kaido was still on the Rocks’ ship, so he was also aware of the relationship between Kaido and his own mother.
However, this kind of relationship was not enough to make the two pirate crews stop fighting. If their interests conflict, even Kaido and Big Mom would not hesitate to abandon old ties.
But they also didn’t continue fighting. Otherwise, the aftermath of the battle would destroy the bananas here. Queen couldn’t bear to lose the bananas, and Perospero was the same.
If the bananas were gone, Queen just has to wait for at most half a year to cultivate the banana seedlings again, but Perospero might not have that luxury.
The two, with different thoughts in their minds, didn’t act for a moment, each concocting their own schemes. For example, at Perospero’s feet, syrup was quietly seeping out…
“This is what Mom wants. Since this is the territory of the Beasts Pirates, how about I buy these bananas at a high price?”
Perospero was not afraid of Queen, but he was afraid of making Big Mom angry. However, Queen had no intention of giving him face.
“Don’t even think about it, all the bananas are mine. No one can take any of my bananas!”
“Then that’s a pity, Candy Wave!”
Suddenly, a large amount of syrup surged from the ground, and the sticky syrup rolled like waves towards Queen.
He didn’t lie just now. Things that could be settled with a little money were not a problem at all. However, if Queen refused, he could only take what he wanted with this method.
Queen’s lips curled into a sneer. Perospero didn’t notice that the leaves that he had just gathered behind him were glowing. The power of the sun was gradually condensing on the leaves behind him.
While he was planning to sneak attack Queen, Queen also had the same idea.
