Ants and the Cart

Chapter 646 Ants and the Cart

As a member of the Big Mom Pirates, she had witnessed this kind of thing far too many times.

Fortunately, her choice was not bad.

Unfortunately... the other party did not accept her.

Thinking of this, Garrett sighed silently.

"So after your mother gave the order, you went to the Sabaody Archipelago to find west Yan?" Perona said.

"right."

"What was west Yan's reaction?"

"He said there was no way he could join the Big Mom Pirates," Galette said with a wry smile.

Although he didn't directly answer Perona's question, he still made Perona understand Xiyan's thoughts.

Just as the other party said, it is impossible for someone like Xiyan to leave the Straw Hat Pirates and join the Big Mom Pirates.

Usopp and Nico Robin shared similar thoughts on this.

"Understood," Perona said.

Jia Lei nodded and said, "I was originally thinking of spending a few more days with him to see if I could change his mind, but then that happened..."

'

At this point, Galette paused for a moment, then continued, "Who would have thought that you would choose to attack the Celestial Dragons because of a little girl?"

To be honest, she was shocked when she heard the news, because she never expected that the Straw Hat Luffy would actually dare to attack a Celestial Dragon.

However... that's precisely why Straw Hat Luffy was able to keep someone like west Yan in the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Hmph, those guys treated Camie like a commodity," Usopp snorted. "Even if it happened again, we'd still do the same thing."

"Wow!"

"I truly live up to Usopp's name!"

Leo and the others looked at Usopp with stars in their eyes. The hero was really too amazing. He even dared to fight a Celestial Dragon!

Usopp couldn't help but laugh when he heard what Leo and the others said.

Although the truth is he was almost scared to death, that doesn't stop him from putting on a show now.

"Usolando?"

Garette looked at Usopp with a puzzled expression. Wasn't this guy named Usopp?

What is Usolando called?

"It's a long story," Perona said. "Anyway... just think of him as a hero to these little guys."

"Understood."

Garrett understood immediately.

"Usopp" or something like that is probably the respectful name these little people use for Sniper King Usopp.

Then, Galette turned her gaze to the little people and said with emotion, "I didn't expect you to be mixed up with the Tontata tribe."

"Um?"

Perona asked with some surprise, "How do you know about the Tontatta tribe?"

Didn't they say these little guys haven't contacted any countries other than Dressrosa for centuries?

How did Garrett know?

"this.

'

Garrett hesitated for a moment, unsure whether she should bring it up.

But considering that his mother's marriage was not a secret, he spoke up and said, "My mother was once married to a man from the Tontata tribe."

The air fell silent the moment those words were spoken.

Haku: ? ? ?

What does it mean to have been married to a man from the Tontatta clan?

Haku looked at Galette with a face full of question marks. Had he misheard?

If I remember correctly, BIG MOM was a woman about the same height as the white-bearded woman.

How can someone like that marry a dwarf?

For a moment, he felt that his worldview had been shaken.

"this.

Nico Robin looked at Leo, then at Galette, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Really?"

For someone like BIG MOM, the Tontatta clan is probably like an ant.

Is it possible to get married like this?

Even Nicole Robin, who has studied a lot of history, felt shocked.

"real."

Garrett felt somewhat helpless, but that was the truth, and there was nothing she could do about it.

"I had indeed heard that Big Mom had been married to many men, but I never expected it to be like this."

'

Although Haku didn't finish his sentence, everyone understood what he meant.

This BIG MOM really doesn't discriminate between meat and vegetables.

"My mother's idea was to build a multiverse with all kinds of races," Garrett explained. "So she chose to marry men of all races so that she could have relatives of all races."

"Why does it have to be family?"

"I don't know about that."

Garrett shook her head. She didn't know why her mother was so fixated on family. She only knew that her mother cared about it very much.

None of the other siblings knew this either.

Even the second brother, Katakuri, was the same.

"Maybe it's because of something she experienced as a child," Nicole Robin guessed.

Otherwise, such a special situation wouldn't have occurred.

Garrett did not deny this.

"So now she..."

'

“My mother stopped marrying a long time ago,” Garrett said. “Now all she wants is for us children to get married so she can recruit strong men.”

"I see."

Nico Robin nodded upon hearing this; it seemed that someone had escaped unscathed.

Usopp glanced at Galette, then at Nico Robin. He really wanted to ask a question, which was...

If BIG MOM were still young, would even west Yan have fallen victim to her?

After all, Xiyan is technically a special race, and a very special one at that.

But considering that it might not be appropriate to say such things, he didn't.

"So, you've come to Dressrosa this time for..."

'

Perona didn't finish her sentence, but Galette still understood.

She first looked at Haku and Bartolomeo, then at Rebecca, before finally fixing her gaze on Perona.

Seeing that the other party did not speak, he realized that these two people did not know west Yan's identity, so he said, "That's right, just as you thought, I am indeed here to find someone."

Galette didn't seem inclined to say anything else, since she knew she couldn't take the Diamond Fruit with her, so there was no need to say anything that might annoy others.

"really!"

Haku thought to himself, "That man really is the legendary Blood-Eyed Ninja!"

His judgment was correct!

"Then you've come to the right place."

Perona smiled and said, "And it's the perfect time."

"I think so too," Garrett said, a smile playing on her lips.

Although Straw Hat Boy had provoked her mother, she didn't have any ill feelings towards the Straw Hat Pirates because of west Yan.

In fact, I even have a bit of goodwill towards these guys who dare to kill Celestial Dragons.

Then, Garrett said, "If there's anything I can help you with here, just let me know."

"I can help you out of respect for him."

She now understood why Xi Yan had placed her here; it wasn't just because it was very safe, but also because he hoped she could help Nicole Robin and the others.

After all, the only ones who can fight right now are these two girls and a strange green-haired guy, so relying on her isn't a bad thing.

"Nothing's wrong for now," Nico Robin shook her head and said, "It's safe here; most people can't get up here."

This is the old royal palace high ground, hundreds of meters above the ground. Others would need to rely on special means to get up here.

But those who were hunting them didn't seem to have that ability, so Nicole Robin wasn't worried about it.

"All right."

Seeing that Nicole Robin had already said that, Garrett couldn't say anything more.

Then, she turned her gaze to the direction where west Yan had just left, thinking to herself: I wonder how west Yan is doing.

Although her strength is indeed inferior to that of a Marine Admiral, after two years of training, she should have no problem fighting a Marine Vice Admiral.

Relying on her dual-color Haki and the Butter-Butter Fruit, she believed she could easily defeat that kind of opponent.

But unfortunately... west Yan wouldn't let her come along.

Just then, the giant in the distance raised his arm again, as if he wanted to hit something.

This change immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Is that guy going to make a move again?"

Garrett frowned. Although she didn't care much about this country, such an attack might affect this area.

With that in mind, Galette prepared to defend herself.

"Straw Hat Boy!"

"I will absolutely not let you go to Dover!"

"puff!"

Upon hearing this strange sound, Galette couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Even though it's not the first time I've heard it, I still can't help it," Garrett laughed. "Why does this guy's voice sound so strange?"

He's clearly a man, but his voice sounds like a sissy... That's just too outrageous.

"Stop...stop laughing," Usopp said, barely suppressing his laughter. "Otherwise, he'll punch you."

Those enormous fists were simply too much for them to withstand.

"That's true, but I just can't help it," Garrett laughed.

She was laughing so hard that tears were streaming down her face. Fortunately, Pica, who was in the distance, was focused on Luffy, who was also laughing, and didn't see what was happening.

"Hey, Luffy, can you please stop laughing?" Zoro said helplessly.

"But don't you think his voice is weird?"

"That's also..."

'

"Straw Hat Boy!"

"puff!"

Zoro couldn't help but laugh when he heard Pica's voice again.

Hearing Zoro's laughter, Pica became even angrier.

"Go to hell, all of you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he fiercely punched Luffy and the others who had run onto his other arm, as if he wanted to smash them to death.

"Hey, Straw Hat Bro, his attack is coming!" Jet shouted in alarm.

That's the size of a town's fist; if it hits them, they're guaranteed to die!

"Leave it to me."

After saying that, Luffy quickly jumped off Ushi's back and ran towards Pica at an extremely fast speed.

As he ran, he blew his arms out wide and then swung them back violently.

"Armament Haki: Hardening!"

"Armament Haki has no effect on me!" Pica roared, "Die!"

After saying that, he increased his attack speed, but unfortunately, before his attack could land, Luffy had already rushed out of his attack range and successfully arrived in front of him.

"What?!"

Pica's eyes immediately widened in surprise when she saw Luffy jump onto her face.

Is Straw Hat Boy really that fast?

Fine, then I'll just shoot you dead in mid-air!

Thinking of this, Pica immediately changed the direction of her attack, turning it towards Luffy in front of her.

Unfortunately... Luffy's attack was even faster.

"Rubber Grizzly Gun!!!"

"boom!!"

An incredibly terrifying attack struck Pika's enormous stone head, shattering it into pieces in a single blow!

"?"

Below, Ideo and the others stared in astonishment at the sky and exclaimed, "His head was smashed?"

"Did we succeed?"

If its head is smashed, then this monster must be dead!

Great! Without this guy stopping them, they'll definitely be able to get to Doflamingo as quickly as possible!

"Let's go, let's take down Doflamingo!"

"profound!"

"Great, Straw Hat Bro!"

Jet looked excitedly at Luffy charging back and said, "We finally took down this guy! You're amazing!"

"Hahaha."

Luffy chuckled, then leaped back onto Ushi's back, waving his hand and saying, "Let's charge straight to the palace!"

"profound!"

The Jet brothers immediately burst into laughter. With their Straw Hat brother there, they were sure they could reach Doflamingo without any trouble.

"I didn't tell you."

Luffy, displeased, replied, "I was talking to Ushi."

"Sigh~"

"Don't be so formal~" Jett chuckled awkwardly, then said loudly, "Let's all do our best, Ushi!"

"Ugh!"

Zoro ignored the interaction between the group and stared intently at the giant stone statue in the distance.

Then he shouted, "Luffy!"

"The head you just hit was just a stone, and the stone statue we're standing on now is just an ordinary stone statue."

"?"

The Jet brothers were dumbfounded. Wasn't the older brother, Straw Hat, smashing that guy's head?

The original body didn't die?

Luffy, somewhat annoyed, asked, "Did it disappear again?"

"Where exactly is his real body?"

Even when he used his Observation Haki, he couldn't find the guy's true form, as if the guy himself was made of stone, which was really annoying.

"I don't know either," Zoro said.

From the start of the fight, he had been using Observation Haki, but he was still unable to locate his opponent's true form, so he couldn't say where his opponent was.

Zoro then closed his eyes and tried again to sense the other person's location using his Observation Haki.

And the result this time was the same as before.

Just then, Zoro sensed an unusual presence ahead.

"This is.

'

Opening his eyes and looking at the figure slowly emerging from the stone, Zoro grinned and said, "So, your true form has finally come out?"

"Oh, he seems really angry."

Even from a distance, Zoro could feel the terrifying killing intent emanating from his opponent.

Clearly, this guy who likes to play with stones really wants to kill them.
