As a wave of sweet and cloying sea breeze blew by, it signaled that Ian and Reiju’s ship had arrived at Cake Island.

Cake Island is the most important stronghold of the Big Mom Pirates in the New World. The island’s appearance resembles layers of stacked cakes.

The entire island is filled with a fairy tale-like atmosphere, with all the buildings not only brightly colored but also appearing soft and fluffy.

In fact, Ian and his crew’s ship had been spotted by the Big Mom Pirates as soon as it entered the vicinity of Cake Island. However, because the ship was flying the flag of the Dragon Hunter Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates knew they were invited guests and did not intercept them. As Ian and his crew neared the port, a similarly fairy tale-styled, singing ship came to greet them.

“That ship… it must have been given a life and personality by Big Mom, right? That’s why it’s so strange…” Reiju remarked, standing beside Ian.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The abilities of the Yonko Big Mom were no secret in the New World. Her special power, which could imbue lifeless objects with personality and intelligence, was the reason for the bizarre and fantastical sights on Cake Island.

As the singing ship approached Ian’s vessel, a figure leaped from the other side onto their deck.

This was a man with unusually long legs, standing on the deck with what looked like two thin bamboo poles supporting a short, stout body, resembling a pair of compasses. However, despite his odd appearance, he was dressed like a French gentleman in formal attire, holding a cane, sporting an upturned black handlebar mustache, and wearing a pair of small sunglasses that barely covered his eyes.

“Captain Ian!” As soon as the man saw Ian, he reached up to remove his top hat in greeting. “I am Baron Tamago, a combatant of the Big Mom Pirates. I have been ordered to welcome you! Big Mom’s tea party will begin tomorrow, and she has been eagerly awaiting your arrival for some time!”

“Hmm,” Ian glanced at him a few times but didn’t say much. He just nodded and said, “Lead the way.”

“May I ask, are you the only one coming?” Baron Tamago curiously looked behind Ian.

“Correction, there are two of us!” Ian replied with a blank expression, casting a glance at Baron Tamago, wondering if he was blind behind those sunglasses—Reiju was standing right beside him.

“Oh ho ho, if I’m not mistaken, this lady must be Lady Reiju, the eldest daughter of the Germa family?” Baron Tamago chuckled. “My apologies, I wasn’t aware when she started traveling with you…”

Reiju remained silent, but Ian was clearly irritated. His gaze sharpened as he coldly asked, “What do you mean by that?”

Sensing the rising hostility in Ian’s demeanor, Baron Tamago quickly waved his hands in a placating manner. “Don’t misunderstand! I merely wanted to clarify whether Lady Reiju is here representing the Germa family or not. After all, the Germa family is currently negotiating a partnership with the Big Mom Pirates. If Lady Reiju is here as part of the Dragon Hunter Pirates, does that mean our Big Mom Pirates are also negotiating with the Dragon Hunter Pirates?”

Hearing this, Ian couldn’t help but exchange a glance with Reiju. He realized it was an important question to clear up. Reiju was with the Dragon Hunter Pirates, but misunderstandings could arise due to her connection with the Germa family.

Before Ian could respond, Reiju spoke up first. “I am a member of the Germa family!”

“Is that so? Oh ho ho, very well then, very well…” Baron Tamago let out a small laugh, then leaped back onto his singing ship without saying much more, guiding the way ahead.

On the ship, Ian looked at Reiju in confusion, but Reiju just smiled and placed her hand on his, saying, “Don’t worry, I just didn’t want to make things difficult for you. I’ve been away from home for a long time, and I’m not sure if my father and the Big Mom Pirates have reached any agreement. If they have, my involvement could complicate things for you. So, for now, let’s just say I’m here as a member of the Germa family.”

Ian, after all, was only here to attend the tea party. He had no idea what Big Mom would say to him during the event, and with no clear understanding of the situation, it would be unwise to get entangled in the affairs between Germa and the Big Mom Pirates due to Reiju’s identity.

Reiju, being the considerate elder sister she was, immediately made the choice that was most beneficial to Ian.

“Alright,” Ian sighed, “we’ll go with that for now.”

Reiju gave a faint smile, then returned to the ship’s wheel and turned it, while Ian adjusted the sails. The two of them worked together to steer the ship, following Baron Tamago’s vessel into the port of Cake Island.

By the time they arrived, the port was already crowded with ships. Judging by their appearance and flags, it was clear they had all come from outside.

After disembarking, Ian couldn’t help but ask Baron Tamago out of curiosity, “Has Big Mom invited many people to the tea party?”

“Yes!” Baron Tamago replied. “Mama usually holds tea parties at regular intervals, but whenever there’s a cause for celebration, she throws additional tea parties. Each time, Mama invites many people, most of whom are friends and associates of the Big Mom Pirates. As for who exactly will be there, Captain Ian, you’ll see for yourself when the tea party begins.”

Although Baron Tamago recognized that Ian’s strength far surpassed his own, he continued to address Ian as “Captain” instead of “Lord,” unlike others who might use more respectful titles. This was partly because Ian no longer held the title of Shichibukai, and also because of the inherent pride of those within the Yonko pirate crews.

Ian didn’t mind the subtlety of the title, and after hearing Baron Tamago’s explanation, he didn’t press further. Instead, like Reiju, he looked around with curiosity, taking in the scenery of Cake Island.

Upon setting foot on Cake Island, the sweet aroma in the air grew even more intense. As they walked, Baron Tamago continued introducing the island to Ian.

The houses lining the streets had rooftops made of chocolate! The walls and pillars supporting the houses were made of biscuits, while the window panes were crafted from transparent candy. Even the blankets in ordinary homes were soft, fluffy marshmallows. The locals used rainbow licorice to decorate their homes, painting the walls with milk or cream, and then embedding almonds or hazelnuts into the surface for added detail.

According to Baron Tamago, Cake Island is surrounded by 34 smaller islands, each governed by a minister, collectively forming Big Mom’s “Totland.” These surrounding islands are mostly named after sweets, such as Chocolate Town and Milk Town. However, since Ian and his crew had followed the log pose provided by Katakuri, they hadn’t passed through any of these towns.

Apart from the main cake-shaped mountain ranges on Cake Island, most of the buildings were relatively low. Along the way, the streets were filled with all sorts of unique residents, including members of the Longleg Tribe, Longarm Tribe, Fish-Men, and Mink Tribe. There were even races that Ian had never encountered before.

For example, a couple walking toward them both had extremely long necks. As they walked, their necks swayed from side to side, supporting their heads. This should be… the Longneck Tribe, right?

Moreover, Ian also spotted several people with long tongues, just like Perospero. It was at this moment that Ian realized Perospero wasn’t just strange-looking—he must have Longtongue Tribe blood!

Oh, right, there was also Sanji’s original betrothed, Pudding, from the Three-Eyed Tribe…

Before coming here, Ian had no idea that the New World contained so many different races. Thinking about it carefully, Ian suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Big Mom had so many children, she must have included representatives from every race in her “Totland,” right? How many men from different races had Big Mom married and had children with!?

Holy cow, that’s some seriously bizarre taste…

Ian glanced at Reiju beside him and thought to himself that he just couldn’t accept Big Mom’s sense of aesthetics. He still preferred humans…

As they continued walking and observing, it wasn’t long before Baron Tamago led them to an extravagant cake house.

“Captain Ian, since you are honored guests invited to Mama’s tea party, please board the carriage here!” Baron Tamago said, tipping his hat in a polite gesture.

Ian looked ahead and was immediately dumbfounded. Parked in front of the cake house was a carriage that appeared to have just been freshly baked, emitting a fragrant and sweet aroma. The carriage itself was beautifully crafted, but the creature pulling it was…

A pig!!!

It was indeed a pig, and not just any pig—a giant pig with a number stamped on its belly!

When Ian first heard about riding a carriage, he thought it would be an actual horse-drawn carriage. But looking at this now, it was more of a “pig carriage,” wasn’t it!?

“Please!” Baron Tamago, ever polite, opened the door and gestured for the two of them to board.

Fine, stay calm! In this bizarre city, it’s best not to be surprised by anything. A pig-drawn carriage is just as good…

Ian and Reiju stepped inside, and just as they were about to close the door, they suddenly heard a loud voice behind them.

“Damn it! I’m a guest of Big Mom too! Why can’t I ride the pig carriage!?”

Hearing this, Ian was immediately curious. Someone was actually fighting for the right to ride the pig carriage?

Unable to resist, Ian paused and turned to see who it was. When he saw the person, he almost burst out laughing!

It was someone Ian recognized—M. Caesar Clown! The mad scientist who was originally supposed to be at Punk Hazard!

This guy had purple-blue hair, with two horn-like decorations on his head. His long coat appeared to be made of gas, swirling around him, and he wore a pair of black gloves with the letters “CC” on them.

At that moment, Caesar was arguing with the guards outside the cake house, trying to win the right to ride the pig carriage…
