Chapter 50: Meeting a Yonko
_________ POV Enel _________
Heading for the Whole Cake Chateau in silence isn't exactly what I expected.
Katakuri seems extremely wary around me, but he's not outright hostile thanks to Oven vouching for me.
At the very least, I will be able to speak to Big Mom for a bit. But knowing her, she won't listen to me all that much.
I need to be careful with my words, but I also don't feel like bowing my head to an overgrown child prone to throwing temper tantrums and even harming her own family...
Overall, I'm not exactly worried about Big Mom, but I also don't want to make an enemy out of her so early on. If we end up fighting in the future then it can't be helped, but now there's no reason for us to come to blows.
In the first place, I joined the marines to learn the 6 powers and haki, even if I made friends there, I won't be making enemies out of a Yonko for the sake of the World Government.
I guess I'll see how things go. There are also Linlin's other children, many of which at least somewhat care about Oven...
Well, not all of them care about him. If I remember correctly, some siblings aren't quite as cruel as the others, there are certain clashes between them. Still, most of them do care about their siblings.
I don't know about someone like Perospero, for example, I don't think he would give much of a shit for Oven's injuries. He is more likely to care about the navy disrespecting Big Mom herself by capturing Oven.
I remember him being an extremely sadistic individual, but hey, he did have good relationships with his siblings, so his reaction could still surprise me...
The Big Mom pirates are an extremely cruel and sadistic bunch, I need to tread lightly if I want to not cause a war. Worst case scenario, I stop the war from happening by crippling one side.
If I destroy the island we are on too much, they will be stuck here rebuilding and won't have time for the marines, at least until the Summit War is over we would be fine.
Still, there are a lot of people that I don't know how will react to this, the fact that Sengoku didn't tell anyone of Oven's state is also a bit concerning...
That would've at least prepared them a bit for seeing their sibling in such a state, even if it wouldn't change the final outcome all that much.
I remember him saying that the World Government doesn't want a war, did he expect me to placate the Big Mom Pirates and not just escape immediately?
That's highly unlikely. Sengoku doesn't know that I am as strong as a Yonko, so if he sent me to placate Big Mom, he'd think he's sending me to my death...
Wait a second... The timing might just be really shitty for him.
The Summit War is already in motion, so he's most likely planning it out already, contacting pirates to sway them to betray Whitebeard and all that.
He should have his hands completely full with both planning out the war and cleaning up after the Dressrosa incident, so it's possible that he simply forgot about Big Mom.
Both Akainu and Garp are likely preparing for the war, they won't have the time to remind Sengoku of this... Was I really forgotten like that?
Maybe they just figured that I'm strong enough since I took down Doflamingo with ease. The recording should've reached Marineford before the World Government got to erase all evidence of Dressrosa being the fault of a former Clesetial Dragon...
"Can all of you just shut the fuck up already?!" Enel shouted, exasperation present in his tone as he now understood just how annoying the Big Mom Pirates could be.
He had remembered them being a frustrating bunch from the show. But he hoped he'd be able to hold it in... Turns out he may have overestimated his resistance to bullshit.
The room turned deadly silent, as every gaze turned back to Enel in an instant. This time, even Big Mom looked pissed off.
Oven trembled a bit, and Katakuri just raised an eyebrow.
'I understand your grievances... But did you really have to do that?!' Katakuri thought to himself as he scratched the back of his head.
"A rather bold marine dog... Coming here and barking in my castle!" Big Mom said as she rose from her seat, anger obvious in her features.
"I was going to just take two of your limbs... But now I'll also take your lifespan, maybe you'll be a bit less arrogant if you only had a few years left in you!" Big Mom said as a sadistic smile rose to her face.
Most of her children also seemed to mirror her smile, while Enel just shrugged.
Oven gulped a bit as he clenched his fist, the worst possible scenario was happening right before his eyes...
Katakuri's gaze turned serious, as he thought of ways that he could bail Enel out of the situation...
But he knew that arguing with his mother was useless, if anything he and his brother would also come to harm.
'I will respect my brother's wishes, I won't fight Enel... But I can't protect him either...' Katakuri simply started walking to the side and leaned on a pillar.
He was going to stay neutral, but if any of his dear siblings were to be in mortal danger, he would interfere, as to him, their lives mattered above all else.
'I guess a fight was going to break out anyway...' Enel thought to himself as he started twirling his staff behind him.
