Dream King

Chapter 21

"Oh! Come to think of it, besides my mother and the other three, Charlia, only the eldest sister and the captain have ever done that," Nojiko said, waving her fingers.

"Alright, do you still want to eat? I've prepared a Manchu Han Imperial Feast this time." Mo Mo quickly interrupted the women as they were getting increasingly off-topic.

Inside the first level of the Goddess, amidst falling petals, everyone savored the Manchu Han Imperial Feast that Mo Mo had meticulously prepared over three days. After tasting the super-duper Falling Flower Buddha Jumps Over the Wall specially made by Mo Mo, Weiwei was so moved that she finally accepted Mo Mo's invitation to join the Falling Flower Pirates and embark on an adventure at sea with Mo Mo and the others.

Although Mo Mo does not deny that a significant part of the reason is that he passed on a set of techniques to Cobra, making Cobra younger and able to live longer, the bigger reason is Mo Mo's delicious food and Nami and the others' friendly offensive. The techniques were actually given during the seafood feast, and today, under Mo Mo's fierce offensive, Weiwei was finally moved by Mo Mo and put aside all her concerns to board Mo Mo's ship.

Actually, if the Manchu Han Imperial Feast plus Buddha Jumps Over the Wall still couldn't sway Weiwei, Mo Mo had another trump card. You see, China's culinary culture has a long history, and due to the differences between the north and south, tastes vary, so do people's preferences for food. But there's one thing that he not only ignores the differences between the north and south, but also the differences between countries and ethnic groups. Basically, as long as he's eating, he can't refuse this one thing. Even if he doesn't like Chinese food, he won't resist this one thing. That thing is "hot pot".

That's right, Mo Mo's secret weapon is hot pot. Hot pot is a unique Chinese delicacy with a long history. It is inclusive and tolerant. As long as you can think of it, it can make it for you. You can make a half-and-half pot or a four-part pot. If you want to eat several flavors, just divide the pot into several portions. Even the Five-Colored Divine Light, which can wash anything, is slightly inferior. It is said that when hot pot comes out, who can compete with it? You can put anything edible in it.

"Weiwei has finally boarded my pirate ship—oops! No, I mean my pleasure ship. Well, anyway, whether it's a pirate ship or a pleasure ship, she's on my ship now. It wasn't easy. It's time to start a new journey. It's time to activate the contingency plans I left behind when I first arrived. Although it's still a little short of completely changing this world, it's time for your voices to be heard." Mo Mo's lips curled up slightly as he took out a miniature Den Den Mushi and pressed the button.

Chapter 35 Preparations complete, let's begin.

The sun shone brightly in the cloudless sky, seabirds cried out above the Goddess, and the sea was calm and peaceful.

"Nami, how much longer until we reach the end of the Grand Line?"

"Logically speaking, we have passed through many storms and should now be in the climate zone of Laugh Tale, the end of the Grand Line, otherwise the weather would not be so good."

Yes, you heard right. Momo's Falling Flower Pirates are about to reach Laugh Tale. It has been more than a year since Momo and his crew left Alabasta, or to be precise, one year and nine months.

Right after Momo and his crew left Alabasta, a new force rose up in the world. They not only killed pirates but also marines. To this day, no one can figure out their motives for killing, because among those they killed were notorious pirates, renowned philanthropists, wealthy merchants and high-ranking officials, and ordinary beggars. In short, their killings were completely unpredictable. Fortunately, their numbers were very small, and they did not cross the World Government's bottom line, so the two sides have been at peace. All of this is thanks to Momo.

After leaving Alabasta, Momo and his group followed the route taken by Luffy and his crew in the original series. Along the way, they encountered a strange old man who lent money to pirates at exorbitant interest rates, but Momo and his group ignored him, simply recording the compass pointer before leaving. When they passed Luluga Island, they even took down two scoundrels who were causing trouble there, but unfortunately, they didn't encounter the Rainbow Mist.

After arriving at Jaya Island, Momo and his group found out the location of the sudden rise in sea current and then separated. They didn't even contact Noland's descendant, the uncle who was with the two gorilla pirates, and went directly to the location of the sudden rise in sea current to wait for it to take them into the air.

As a result, Mo Mo and his crew's location was not as accurate as Luffy's, causing them to land on the White Sea. Fortunately, Mo Mo's ship was much more powerful than Luffy's. However, the Goddess also flew for more than two hours at full speed before landing on the White Sea. As a result, Mo Mo was almost exhausted. According to Mo Mo, if they couldn't find the Sky Island after flying for another five minutes, they would have to give up, otherwise they would crash.

When Momo saw Conis, he wanted to bring this cute little angel aboard his ship. Unfortunately, after three days of trying, he had to give up because Conis didn't like him at all and ignored him for three days. Just then, Enel came to cause trouble for Momo and his crew, so Momo took the opportunity to vent his anger and beat Enel into a pulp before continuing their voyage. After leaving the Sky Island, Momo and his crew didn't land in the Marine Fortress Nabaron, but in an ordinary sea area. Momo was quite disappointed about this, because there was a cute little nurse in the Marine Fortress. As for the chef, Momo said, "He's taken."

Since then, Mo Mo seems to have been discouraged. He spends all his time cooking and sailing for the Falling Flower Pirates, ignoring everything else. He rarely intervenes in battles unless the Falling Flower Pirates are in danger. However, this is just a facade. In reality, Mo Mo is secretly cultivating and strengthening his subordinates' power.

Perhaps it's because Momo and his crew set sail two years earlier than Luffy, or perhaps it's because Momo isn't the chosen one of this world and wasn't favored by it. In any case, Luffy and his crew basically didn't encounter Momo, and their journey was smooth sailing. Except for the occasional ignorant pirate who, seeing that the Falling Flower Pirates were mostly composed of beautiful women, became blinded by lust and was easily dealt with by Momo and his crew, Momo and his crew usually took the initiative to kill some of the most wicked pirates.

And so, they traveled smoothly all the way, and before they knew it, Momo and his crew arrived at Laugh Tale. Because Momo was the king of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, they were not wanted. Although they were somewhat famous and had achieved their goals, they were still far from being as well-known as Luffy and his crew.

"I see it, is that Laugh Tale? The end of the Grand Line."

"Yes, that is the end of the Grand Line, Laugh Tale."

A month later, a young man single-handedly slaughtered his way through the latter half of the Grand Line. Anyone with a notorious reputation was doomed once his crimes were confirmed. Normally, this wouldn't have made those fearless pirates so panicked that they would have fled at the first sign of trouble. However, what happened next completely tamed these fearless pirates. It is said that Kaido of the Beasts, one of the Four Emperors, went to provoke him after hearing about it and was severely injured. Meanwhile, the other party was unharmed and even left with only a slightly pale face.

Three days after the news broke, Kaido personally confirmed it, and one of the parties involved was our protagonist, Momo.

This story begins four days ago. Mo Mo and his crew had been in Laugh Tale for a month, exploring the entire island. Just as they were about to return home after achieving their goals, Liu Xueqing suddenly appeared and took Robin and the others away, ship and all. Before leaving, she told Mo Mo that Crocodile was the one who wiped out Kaya's father's pirate crew five years ago. This answered a question that had been bothering Mo Mo: why would Crocodile still target Alabasta even after Robin was gone? Because a historian from the island had also sailed with Kaya's father, and this historian could read ancient texts.

As for why Mo Mo would cause such a scene in the New World, if you had finally raised a group of little lolis to adulthood and were ready to eat them, only to have someone take away the whole pot and even the food that was already in your bowl, anyone would go crazy!

As for why Mo Mo didn't leave and stayed in this world, it's because Mo Mo still has an unfinished mission. Liu Xueqing's original words were, "Since you, my husband, are already prepared to liberate this world, how can I, as your dear wife, not support you? In order for you to liberate this world in peace, I took all my sisters with me. Don't worry, my husband, the day you complete your mission will be the day you return."

As for Kaido, Momo said that Kaido was a good person who actually came to his door when he was in a bad mood. Based on the principle of helping others, Momo fulfilled Kaido's wish and gave him a good beating. As for fighting back, Kaido of the Beasts could only silently take the beating in front of Momo's many abilities. However, although Momo could easily hurt him, killing him would also require a considerable price.

From then on, the new world gained another emperor. However, Mo Mo was somewhat unworthy of the title, because while other emperors had their own forces, he was a lone commander.

While rumors were rampant outside, our protagonist was quite relaxed. Although there were no girls by his side, would the world of One Piece lack girls? Obviously not. So Mo Mo was currently leisurely drinking with others.

A giant with a white, crescent-shaped beard scoffed, "Is it really necessary? It's just a jar of wine. So stingy. Come on, it's my treat." With that, he tossed the jar over. Of course, what was a jar of wine to the giant was a water vat to Mo Mo.

He casually caught the flying wine jar, poured the wine from his small cup into it, and tossed it back. "Whitebeard, you can have another taste. You dare say I'm stingy? This wine is called Peach Blossom Drunk. It was brewed by an old friend of mine. Ordinary people are not worthy of enjoying it. I'm only sharing a cup with you today because I need something from you. Once this opportunity is gone, it won't come again."

"Oh! Then I'll try it and see if it's really as amazing as you say." With that, he shook the wine jar in his hand, tilted his head back and took a big gulp, then laughed heartily, "It really is good wine! After drinking this sip, my body feels warm, and I feel completely relaxed."

"Then drink a few more sips. Maybe your illness will be cured after you finish this jar of wine." Mo Mo revealed a mysterious expression and tilted his head back to gulp down a large mouthful of wine.

The two drank and talked, finishing their drinks in about half an hour.

"Um?"

Whitebeard finished his drink, closed his eyes as if sensing something, then suddenly stood up, ripped off the bottle hanging from his body, and laughed heartily under the astonished gazes of the squad leaders around him. "Good wine, indeed good wine. I'll agree to your proposal after two jars of the wine you just drank."

Mo Mo shook his head and held up one finger.

"make a deal."

"As expected of Whitebeard, so straightforward! I'll be going now, remember our agreement." With a flick of his wrist, he took out a jar of peach blossom wine, placed it on the deck, and turned to leave.

In Rayleigh's shop on Sabaody Archipelago, Rayleigh's wife is entertaining a group of strange people. Among them are a reindeer, a fish-man, and another person who, while not particularly strange in appearance, is wearing a straw hat.

"What? Uncle isn't here? Where did he go?"

After saying goodbye to Auntie Sha, the Straw Hat crew followed her instructions and searched for crowded places, eventually arriving at the amusement park. However, the fish-man One Piece was spotted by human traffickers, captured, and sold to an auction house.

After searching, they finally determined that the sea rice had been sold to an auction house, and the Straw Hat crew rushed to the auction house.

Listening to the slaves being bought by those so-called nobles one after another outside, a young man with an extraordinary demeanor said with a face full of sarcasm, "Rayleigh, did you hear that? This is what nobles are. This world is corrupt. How about we do something big? Whitebeard and Shanks have already agreed. If you join us, our chances of winning will be even greater."

"That sounds good! If there's anything I can do to help you, please don't hesitate to ask. This old body of mine can still put in some effort."

"good!"

"Hey, why aren't you leaving now that we've finished talking?"

“Leave? I’m a slave now! How can I leave if no one buys me? Besides, some of the young men outside are acquaintances of mine. I want to see their expressions when they find out I’m being sold as a slave, hehehe.”

“You two are definitely not ordinary people. I wasn’t wrong. Everyone else is terrified, but you two aren’t afraid at all.”

Mo Mo smiled slightly and did not answer the giant's question. Rayleigh, for some unknown reason, also did not answer. For a moment, the cage fell silent, with only the sounds of bidding coming from outside.

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard, then silence fell outside, followed by a piercing scream.

When Momo and his friends went outside, the scene was chaotic. When Momo saw the Straw Hat crew, he was completely stunned. Momo had thought that the world's consciousness would correct the changes he had caused, but he hadn't expected the world's consciousness to correct them so severely. After coming out, Momo saw a girl who looked eight parts like Nami holding the Clima-Tact and a woman who looked eight parts like Robin.

An invisible wave swept by, and all the guards instantly collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

"Uncle, what are you doing here?" Luffy exclaimed in surprise when he saw Mo Mo.

"I've been waiting for you. Didn't I say I'd wait for you at the front of the Grand Line? But I waited for so long and you never came, so I had to come back to find you myself."

After not seeing each other for several years, Luffy clearly had many questions on his mind, but time was of the essence, so he had to take care of the important matters first.

After rescuing all the slaves, Mo Mo had a private conversation with the very beautiful dancer. To his surprise, Mo Mo had only casually tried to see if he could persuade her to leave on his own. Unexpectedly, when the dancer heard that Mo Mo could take her in, her face turned red with excitement, and she immediately expressed her willingness to become Mo Mo's maid and follow him. Since the little lamb had been offered to him, why wouldn't he take advantage of it?

After accepting the dancer, Mo Mo saw Bonnie at the very end of the auction and decided to tease her: "Hey little girl, you're pretty pretty. Want to join my pirate crew?"

"Get lost, you weirdo! I'm going to be the Pirate King's woman, how could I possibly become someone else's crew member?"

"Hahaha! You've got personality, I like it. If you ever can't make it in this world, come find me in the New World. My name is Mo Mo."

"Good luck, Luffy! I'll be waiting for you up ahead. Don't let us down!" With that, he left the auction house with the dancer.

“If I’m not mistaken, that old man in front should be Rayleigh, and the man you just rejected said his name was Momo. And judging from Rayleigh’s attitude towards him and the way Straw Hat addresses him, if I’m not mistaken, he is the newly risen fifth emperor of the New World, Momo.” Kidd swallowed after saying that.

After leaving the auction house, Mo Mo didn't pay any more attention to what happened afterward. Once outside the auction house, Mo Mo took out a black miniature Den Den Mushi and said only one sentence: "The time has come. Let's begin."

Chapter 36 The Storm Is Coming

East Blue Windmill Village: "Breaking news, huge news! Luffy caused a ruckus in the Sabaody Archipelago, knocking away a Celestial Dragon. His fate is currently unknown, but the Navy hasn't sent any clear news yet, so they should be out of danger by now."

North Blue, at the Baratie floating restaurant: "Captain, Sanji and his crew have done something earth-shattering again after Enies Lobby; they fought a Celestial Dragon."

That's right, the incident at Enies Lobby did happen in the original series, but the process was a little different. Since Robin was kidnapped by Momo when she was a child, the girl who looked a lot like Robin was captured. That girl came from Ohara and supposedly went to sea to follow in the footsteps of her predecessors, namely Robin and the others. After setting sail, she miraculously boarded Luffy's ship.

The one who looks like Nami is also a thief, but he's on a ship in the North Sea. His current status is the same as Nami's in the original series. He was discovered by CP9 when he was traveling to Water 7, and they kidnapped him without any conflict with Luffy and his crew.

However, what happened next surprised everyone. It was all because of Mo Mo. Because Mo Mo took Vivi away beforehand, Luffy and his crew did not fight Crocodile, which led to their strength being seriously underestimated.

Therefore, when Luffy and his crew stormed Enies Lobby, it shocked everyone. Perhaps even Mo Mo didn't expect things to turn out this way.

When the CP9 members clashed with Luffy and his crew, they were terrified. If the opponents were simply strong, the CP9 members wouldn't be so panicked. The problem was that the opponents all knew the Six Powers. Although only three of them had mastered all six power, it was still very shocking.

The outcome of the battle was both unexpected and predictable. When Lucci, the strongest member of CP9, was easily defeated by Luffy, the ending was already decided. What was most surprising was that Usopp actually won a close-quarters battle against the werewolf Jabra.

On a giant pirate ship in the New World, adorned with a crescent moon-shaped white beard, a voice said, "Oh! That kid Shanks favored beat up a Celestial Dragon? Looks like he's about to make his move. Ace, where are you now? I hope you're safe. Give the orders to prepare well; a tough battle is coming soon."

On an unnamed island in the New World, "Oh! Little Luffy beat up a Celestial Dragon? Not bad! As expected of the person I've chosen, he hasn't wasted the Straw Hat of the Pirate King. It seems we need to prepare as well; he should have already made his move."

At the Revolutionary Warriors' base: "Did Luffy defeat the Celestial Dragons? It seems the operation is about to begin." "Increase the attack time, take this place, and the entire army will begin rest and intensified training."

Where was Mo Mo at that moment?

In Marineford's Sengoku office; "Hey! How could you do this? Don't think you can steal the donut just because you brought it. We agreed that only the winner can eat it, and since you lost, this donut should be mine."

"Karp, don't be stingy. I brought you so many donuts and you only ate one. Don't be petty," a boy said, biting into a donut.

"Alright, I'll let you off the hook for now." Garp had an expression that said he was forgiving him because of the donuts.

"Explain your purpose! Although I greatly approve of what you have done over the years, your actions these past few days have seriously provoked the World Government. Therefore, the World Government has now revoked your title of King and issued a formal warrant for your arrest. So we are no longer on the same side." With that, he placed an arrest warrant in front of Mo Mo.

"Well, Sengoku, what do you mean?! The person in this wanted poster is too ugly and doesn't look like me at all. I demand that the Navy withdraw it immediately and replace it with a new photo."

“I think so too. It doesn’t capture your heroic spirit at all; instead, it feels a bit sleazy,” Karp said, pointing to Mo Mo’s photo on the wanted poster.

"Really? Let me see." "Really? Wait a minute, I wasn't discussing the photo on the wanted poster with you. Demon Emperor Momo, quickly explain what you're here for!" Sengoku said with a dark face, "Also, Garp, get out of here and stop causing trouble."

"It's really heartbreaking! You have no regard for our past camaraderie. I came to see you with good intentions, and not only did you not treat me well, you even put a bounty on my head. I'm leaving, and I'll never bring you donuts again."

Looking at Momokap's suddenly disappeared with a disappointed expression, he said, "No one will bring me donuts anymore. It's all your fault, Sengoku. I've decided that I'll come here every day to get donuts from you, otherwise I won't be able to make up for my loss."

"What is the World Government thinking? Don't they know how destructive that person is? They actually issued a warrant for his arrest. You know, even though he doesn't have any subordinate pirate crews yet, the threat he poses alone is comparable to the entire Whitebeard Pirates!" Sengoku sighed deeply and looked at the wanted poster on the table.

"Mo Mo, captain of the Falling Flower Pirates, has a bounty of 1.2 billion."

After leaving the Navy Headquarters, Momo arrived at his own island in the New World.

This is a crescent-shaped island. If you look down from above, you will see that the round island has another small blue circle around its edge, forming a bay that is partially surrounded by it.

There are some fruit trees planted along the bay, and a small wooden house is nestled among the trees. A path half a meter wide extends from the house all the way to the beach.

Meanwhile, Mo Mo was soaking in a hot spring under the tree with his dancer Xiao Yu. As for whether they did anything intimate, who knows?

"Xiao Yu, you're getting more and more beautiful, more and more mesmerizing. Come here, let me cherish you one more time."
