Chapter 90 Big Mom's Tea Party
Under the starry sky, the three stood side by side, some looking at the stars, others gazing at the mountains and fields.
Riku Dold III, his body wrapped in bandages, held a cup of black tea, his face slightly flushed with intoxication.
"You guys are really strong. After fighting you with all my might, I realized how small Dressrosa really is."
"As expected of a renowned pirate crew on the high seas, but your style..."
After a brief pause, a strange look appeared in Riku Dold III's smile.
"Are you really pirates? You seem more like adventurers or travelers to me?"
Kaido was only drinking, and Bazel could only respond as his representative.
What are pirates? What are adventurers?
"Aren't they all people who sail the seas? Why make such a distinction?"
If you're referring to our conduct—
Bazel took a small sip of the orange juice he was holding.
"Who says pirates have to destroy towns? Our goal isn't that kind of trash, right, Kaido?"
"Hmm? Hehehehe WA~"
Kaido, already drunk, stumbled backward a few steps, slumped to the ground, and grinned foolishly.
"That's right, my goal isn't just a mere kingdom."
"That sacred place seated atop the clouds is my true goal!"
Riku Dold III's expression changed slightly.
Bazel quickly laughed it off, knowing they couldn't reveal their plan to visit the Celestial Dragons' lair right now.
"Kaido simply wanted to visit the Holy Land of Mary Geoise."

Riku Dold III was a wise man.
He naturally understood the meaning behind Bazell's words and didn't intend to delve into it further.
Pretending not to hear, they abruptly changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, you just said you needed to talk to me about something. Are you planning an alliance?"
Bazel shook his head and then nodded.
"Our alliance cannot be considered a matter between nations and pirate crews; at most, it can only be considered a personal relationship."
"You should know that the World Government will not allow member states to fly pirate flags."
"This is a matter of their pride."
"If you do that, being kicked out of the membership list of Dressrosa would be the least of your worries; there's a very high chance it will be targeted by the Buster Call."
Thus, the country was destroyed.
"I need your help with something else."
He took a blueprint out of his pocket and handed it over.
Riku Dold III put down his teacup, took the blueprints, and walked to the nearby lamplight for illumination.
"What is this?"
"I would like to ask you to drive our new energy marine vehicle, which is about to be launched by the Beasts Pirates, to the Holy Land Mary Geoise during next year's World Conference."
Driving to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise?
Riku Dold III only pondered for a moment before guessing Bazel's plan.
"I see. So, the Beasts Pirates are planning to enter the business world?"
"I don't consider it a job, I just want to earn some pocket money."
After carefully putting away the blueprints, Riku Dold III readily agreed.
"If it's just about promoting you, that's fine. You probably want me to show these two things to the Celestial Dragons, right?"
"As expected of the King of Dressrosa, that's right."
Pointing his finger at the black night sky, Bazel grinned and said:
"You pay so much in heavenly gold every year, as a citizen of the ocean, I have to recoup some of it."
"I don't know whether to say you're incredibly audacious for making money off the Celestial Dragons."
Even in his reflections, Riku Dold III did not forget to issue a warning.
"Those guys aren't reasonable people; be careful you don't lose everything."
With a flicker in his eyes, Bazel revealed a sinister smile.
"I have a way of dealing with this."
"Then I'll leave this to you. We'll try our best to deliver the items to you before the World Conference begins."
"In return, if the Kingdom of Dressrosa ever encounters any problems that it cannot solve, please do not hesitate to contact me or Kaido directly."
Bazel handed over the card he had prepared beforehand.
It has his contact number with Kaido's Den Den Mushi on it.
Riku Dold III accepted it with a smile.
"Then let's wish our friendship lasts forever, hahaha~~"
The next morning, before it was fully light.
Soldiers from Dressrosa arrived at the two ships of the Beasts Pirates, carrying boxes of supplies.
"Captain Tegu Repant, thank you for making this trip in person."
The interpersonal interactions were naturally handled by Bazeir himself.
"You're too kind. The supplies here were ordered to be moved by His Majesty the King, and they're enough for your voyage for a long time."
Tegu Repante gazed at the two somewhat dilapidated ships.
"Because of the size of your ships, we can only bring this much. Even if it's a team of two hundred people, the things here will be enough to last for half a year."
After exchanging a few polite words with Taigu Repant, Bazel watched the soldiers leave.
"Babanuki, set sail! We're embarking on our journey to the land of dreams!"
"learn!"
Babanuki blew his whistle.
The sails of both ships were bent into bows by the wind.
"The Beasts Pirates, set sail!!!"
Two weeks later, in the waters near Wanguo.
The two ships of the Beasts were intercepted by the Big Mom Pirates, who rushed to the scene after hearing the news.
"Sorry, sorry, Boss Kaido."
Perospero stuck out his tongue, his smile as genuine as could be.
"Mom was very happy to receive the news that you had sailed to the waters of the world, so she asked me to come and pick you up for a tea party."
"This concludes the tea party invitation~"
tea party?
Kaido stepped forward, frowned, and took the fairytale-like envelope.
"It's Lingling's handwriting. Ugh, this is really troublesome."
For some unknown reason, Kaido nodded at Bazel.
"Bazel, turn around, we're going to the Land of Treasures."
"But Kaido-san, it's already April, and what about that place—"
The conversation abruptly ended there, and Bazel gave Perospero a wary look.
"There's nothing I can do. I owe Lingling a huge favor. The tea party is the day after tomorrow, so it won't take too long."
Upon hearing Kaido's words, Bazel knew that he could no longer refuse this so-called tea party.
After all, Kaido did receive a lot of care from Charlotte Linlin during his apprenticeship, not to mention the extremely rare Mythical Zoan-type Azure Dragon Fruit.
The debt owed by these two things combined cannot be simply called a favor; it is no exaggeration to call it a great debt of gratitude.
With this thought in mind, Bazel immediately stopped talking and made a gesture towards the pirates on the lookout tower.
"Kukukuku~"
Perospero slightly raised his candy cane, the large candy board obscuring half of his face.
"This must be the infamous Calamity of Beasts. His aura is truly terrifying."
You shouldn't hit someone who's smiling.
Bazel flashed a professional smile and shook Perospero's outstretched hand.
"I wouldn't call myself famous; I've only defeated some small fry. It's all thanks to Captain Kaido's prestige."
"Oh ho ho, if a draw with Rayleigh is considered a minor matter, then Mom doesn't have any impressive achievements to speak of."
"Alright, stop spouting this useless nonsense!"
Kaido turned and walked back to the cabin:
"Perospero, tell Lingling I'm not staying here long. I have more important things to do!"
Instead of returning to his own Queen Mother Singer ship, Perospero, he familiarly followed Kaido and jumped onto two ships belonging to the Beasts.
"I understand, but Boss Kaido, shouldn't your ship be refurbished?"
"You're a notorious pirate in the New World now, shouldn't you have your own flagship?"
Kaido stretched comfortably as he lay down on a specially designed deck chair.
"That's not urgent. I still need the materials to build a good ship."
"We'd rather not have a main ship than do something half-hearted," Bazel said, walking over with a cup of fine lakeside black tea. "We have that much patience."
"Bazaar, this one—is a member of the Big Mom Pirates."
Hanafza, who was walking towards him, was about to ask who it was, but he immediately recognized it after seeing the iconic candy and tongue.
"You two know each other?" Bazel asked curiously.
"I've never dealt with him before, but this Minister of Candy from Totto Land is the person in charge of the Big Mom Pirates' external affairs."
After nodding to Perospero as a greeting, Hanafza explained:
"BIGMOM rarely appears in public in person. Perospero is the man who is recognized as the representative of the great pirate Charlotte Linlin. Didn't you know that?"
Bazeir shook his head in denial.
"This man is quite famous in the underworld, am I right, Perospero-san?"
Perospero squinted at Hanafza.
"Compared to the Lizard King, I'm just fooling around."
Kukukuku~~~
