094 Wedding, Bride +1

Whole Cake Island.

"Well, well, if I had known Kaido would get involved, I wouldn't have agreed to Katakuri's plan," Big Mom muttered. 

"I should kill Lynch to get rid of this grudge!"

As she thought about what Lynch had done in the past, her expression grew more ferocious.

"Mom, remember, Lynch isn't just an Admiral—he's the overlord of West Blue," Smoothie said as she approached, pushing a cart of cakes. 

"Following Brother Katakuri's plan is the best way to get the most out of this situation."

Smoothie actually believed that the idea didn't originate with Katakuri. It seemed more likely that someone else had suggested it, and Katakuri just repeated it. 

Knowing her brother's personality, she found it hard to believe he'd come up with such a plan on his own.

Only a few people on the island could influence Katakuri to change his mind, and Smoothie had a good idea of who it might be...

Unknown island.

Tom watched the live broadcast, and his anger boiled over. 

His face turned red, and steam seemed to rise from his head like a heated thermometer.

Beasts Pirates, daring to bully their master like that? Tom won't forget this!

…

Meanwhile, on Lynch's side:

"Raime Hakke!"

The friendship between the three parties was long gone, but Katakuri still wouldn't leave. The mace, wrapped in a terrifying black aura, came crashing down on Katakuri's head.

"Zheng!"

Just when the mace was about to hit Katakuri, a Western sword blocked the middle and collided with the mace.

The sound of metal clashing echoed through the air, sparks flew, and fierce black lightning crackled between the two weapons

"Boom!!!"

Thunder rumbled through the air, echoing with a red flash. Everyone looked up, and the sight was so terrifying that many collapsed to the ground in fear.

"The sky... the sky is split open!"

"Can humans really have this kind of power!?"

The crowd was stunned as they saw the once-calm sky torn in half by the clash. 

The clouds parted in the middle, forming two halves that swirled inward, drawn toward the center of the chaos.

The moment the two of them fought, Garp, Zephyr, Katakuri, the Eight Giants Rear Admiral, Vice Admiral Tsuru, Mikoto, and Tsunade all started moving!

Only Lynch didn't take action.

Because he knew that since this man was here, today's outcome was already determined.

"Everyone, stop! Please give me some face!" 

Shanks' voice rang out, and his powerful Conqueror's Haki shook the entire crowd. 

The force was so intense that tables and chairs shattered under the impact.

Shanks' Conqueror's Haki was so powerful that it nearly warped reality. 

Most people at the scene collapsed, their eyes turning white and their bodies going limp, while only a few remained standing and conscious.

Garp, Marco and others stopped their attacks after hearing Shanks' words and looked at the uninvited guest warily.

They respected Shanks' strength and decided it was best to hear him out before taking any further action.

Lynch's lips curved into a smile.

He knew that no one, from an eight-year-old child to an eighty-year-old man, could disregard Shanks' face.

"The fruit of face is so terrifying!"

"Red-haired brat, you're not even one of the Four Emperors yet, but you're already trying to challenge me!?" 

Kaido was somewhat surprised that sHANKS was able to block his blow.

Kaido recalled that this red-haired kid had once been a member of Roger's crew and was a leading candidate to become one of the Four Emperors. 

Beyond that, he didn't think much of him. 

It seemed the outcome of the battle for the fourth Emperor would be decided in a few years.

"That's enough for today," Shanks declared. 

"If anyone still wants to fight, I'll be here to face them."

He ignored Kaido's words and stood before everyone, gripping his Western sword firmly.

The current ocean situation has finally entered a stable period. If either Kaido, Marco, Katakuri, Zephyr or Lynch died, it would disrupt the balance between the Marines and the pirates. 

Shanks didn't want to see that happen, so he intervened.

If only two of the Four Emperors remain, the Marine, with its current four Admirals, might be tempted to act. 

The same would happen if Lynch, Garp, or Zephyr were to die here. 

As soon as Shanks finished speaking, Benn Beckman jumped down from the city wall and stood silently behind him.

"Red-haired brat, are you threatening me? No one has ever threatened me, Kaido!" Kaido is confident in his own strength, but he is not stupid.

When he saw everyone standing opposite him, Kaido knew that his purpose of kidnapping the vice-captain today had failed again.

Especially with a current Marine Admiral, a former Marine Admiral, a Marine hero, and the red-haired pirate standing against him. 

The atmosphere was charged, and Kaido felt the need to find someone to vent his frustration on.

Naturally, Kaido chose to focus his anger on the red-haired pirate. 

Out of everyone there, Shanks was the one who had irritated him the most.

"Red-haired kid, if you want to take it all by yourself, don't resist!" 

Kaido transformed into a 200-meter-long green dragon, grabbed Shanks, and flew into the sky.

Lynch mentally mourned five seconds of silence for Shanks, the Celestial Dragons, and didn't know if he could beat Kaido now. 

"Farewell."

Beckman took a deep look at everyone present and set off to chase Shanks and Kaido.

Just when everyone thought things had settled, Katakuri shocked them by saying, "Lynch, you have two choices now."

"First, marry my sister. From now on, the grudge between our Big Mom Pirates and you will be wiped out."

"Second, if you refuse to marry Garrett, we will join forces with Kaido and launch a full-scale war against you."

"???"

When everyone present heard Katakuri's words, question marks slowly floated above their heads.

Is it really so sudden? Starting a war over not marrying your sister seems pretty extreme.

Traveling thousands of miles just to send Lynch a wife?

Lynch glanced at the serious Katakuri and then at the charming Garrett, lost in thought.

He couldn't help but notice her striking features: Those big white legs, those exaggerated curves, those high bulging breasts, those perky buttocks...

He knew that the Big Mom Pirates often used marriage to their advantage, but he didn't expect to be the target. 

He also understood that a marriage proposal from Big Mom wasn't simple—either they were interested in him personally or they coveted something he had.

But how to calculate it is a matter for the future. It would be better if his kingdom was not immediately targeted by the two emperor Pirates.

Especially seeing Garrett's appearance, she seems to be doing well.

The only thing to consider is whether the world government will make a fuss about this.

He wasn't too worried, since he planned to leave the Marines sooner or later. 

Meanwhile, audiences around the world were still focused on the clash between Red-Haired Shanks and Kaido.

A little-known pirate suddenly appeared and had the power to compete with Kaido, and also prevented a wedding that was about to escalate into a war.

For a time, Shanks' reputation soared.

However, as Katakuri spoke, the previously silent audience erupted into chaos again. "Hiss—The Big Mom Pirates are planning to marry Lynch!"
