Belial, Tregear, new members of the Straw Hat Pirates

"Boo boo boo..."

"Huh? Who is it?"

“It’s me, Mondor.”

"what happened?"

"Mom, we caught Belial, the one you asked us to find!"

Upon hearing this, BIG MOM was overjoyed and said, "Really? Then take him to the lab, I want to talk to him in person."

"Yes."

After hanging up the phone, BIG MOM beamed with joy; she had been following Belial for a long time.

He had a bounty of over 600 million when he first appeared, and now he has even defeated Doflamingo, making his bounty higher than that of Luffy, who is the captain of the crew. He is currently the most famous troubled rookie.

Furthermore, according to her intelligence network, Belial had even fought against Marine Admirals Fujitora and Kizaru.

Belial's 600 million bounty was due to the fact that he and another Straw Hat crew member, Tregear, injured Kizaru on Punk Hazard.

Who is Kizaru? He is a Marine Admiral, one of the highest-ranking combatants in the Marine Headquarters. Very few can fight him, let alone injure him. Moreover, it is said that Kizaru's injuries are quite severe.

BIG MOM was drawn to Belial and Tregear's strength and their potential Mythical Zoan abilities. If she could recruit them or acquire their power, her own forces would grow many times stronger.

So after Sanji arrived, she predicted that either Belial or Tregear would come. And now that Big Mom has heard this news, she is naturally very happy.

Brook, who had infiltrated this place to retrieve rubbings of historical landmarks and was now a collectible of Big Mom, put down and said, "Get ready, I'm going to the lab, and I'll take Caesar with me."

"Yes!"

Brook, who had been placed next to the pillow, was startled. Belial had been captured? Just as he was about to take action, he received a message. Brook remained silent for a moment and began searching for historical landmarks in the room.

……

Outside the laboratory...

Montor and the others respectfully greeted the newly arrived Big Mom, saying, "Mom!"

"What about people?"

“He was quite unruly inside.”

Some people entered the laboratory, where Belial, bound to the lab table by seastone chains, was roaring, "You bunch of bastards! Let me go, or I'll tear you to pieces!"

BIG MOM laughed and said, "You're still quite energetic."

"Who the hell are you?"

Montor shouted, "Insolence! Our mother, the famous Yonko, was just the beginning!"

"You're BIG MOM? You're older than I thought."

"you……"

"Stop." Big Mom stopped her subordinates and laughed, "I'm not here to listen to your nonsense. Let me be frank, I've taken a liking to your abilities. As long as you join my pirate crew, you'll be well rewarded."

"Huh?" Beria almost laughed in anger. "Are you kidding me? You want me to join you?"

"Of course, you can also choose to marry someone. I've found a suitable one for you. Garrett."

"I'm here." A woman with dark rose-colored hair, fair skin, and a beautiful face walked over.

Galette looked at Belial and asked, "This is the guy I'm going to marry? He's alright looking, but..."

"Get out of my way!" Belial shouted suddenly. "Keep dreaming! Even if I die, I will never..."

"Don't speak so soon," Big Mom chuckled wickedly. "Your partner is in my hands."

"What did you say!"

BIG MOM projected a picture of Luffy and Nami, who had been captured.

"You bastard!"

BIG MOM said, "I can also extract your power, right Caesar?"

Upon hearing this, Caesar broke out in a cold sweat and said, "Yes."

"If you agree, you will naturally be safe and sound; otherwise, not only will your power be used by me, but your companions will also surely die!"

"I'll give you time to think it over. I hope you can give me an answer after the wedding." With that, BIG MOM and the others left, leaving only a terrified Caesar who was required to conduct experiments there.

Just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief as Big Mom and the others left, they heard a voice:

Acting is really tiring.

Upon hearing this, Caesar turned his head and saw Belial leisurely untying the seastone chains, his calmness almost unbelievable.

"you……"

"Surprised? I was just lying to them, after all, I deliberately let them catch me."

"what?"

Belial calmly began to explain his and Bege's plan. The reason he consulted Caesar was because he sensed Caesar's fear of Big Mom.

Upon hearing this, Caesar burst into tears and grabbed Belial, crying out, "Belial! Save me, or I'll be killed!"

Seeing this, Belial pushed Caesar away with disgust and said, "Alright, alright, get out of the way."

Then Beria said, "Tell me again about your relationship with BIG MO."

It turns out that Big Mom wanted Caesar to develop a drug that would make people grow bigger, in order to fill the gap in the giant race. Therefore, those big children have nothing to do with Kaido's SMILE.

However, Caesar spent most of the funds on extravagant lifestyles, so he made no progress other than getting the children a little older.

If Big Mom knew that he had only done these things, she would definitely kill him, which is why Caesar was so terrified.

"Okay, then let's go out and find my companions later."

"But although there aren't many guards here, it's BIG MOM's town outside, with surveillance cameras and soldiers patrolling back and forth. How do we get out?"

"That's easy to say."

Belial closed his eyes, then opened them again after a dozen seconds. "Alright, problem solved." Then Belial used a small component to project images of himself and Tregear.

"Huh? How did you do that?"

"Don't worry about that, let's go."

After saying this, Belial disguised himself and Caesar and left, flying away with Caesar after leaving the laboratory area.

A few minutes later, the two landed at the entrance of a dungeon.

Are they both in here?

"Maybe."

The two went inside, and Beria gestured for Caesar to stop. Caesar looked ahead and saw several patrolling men.

Just as Belial was about to make his move, Caesar whispered, "Leave it to me."

With a wave of his hand, Caesar sent the men crashing to the ground.

"what have you done?"

"I sucked out the air, causing them to fall into a coma."

The two walked to the door and heard a familiar voice calling out:

"You guys, let me go."

“It’s Luffy,” Belial murmured.

"I advise you two to behave yourselves," a guard said. "Tomorrow is Lady Brin's wedding to that Blackfoot. You'd better just wait for it all to be over."

"Also, I have some news for you. Your Destruction Thunder Belial has also been captured by our Lord Katakuri."

"And soon she will be married to our Lady Galette."

"What!" Nami stared at them in disbelief. "How is this possible? Belial, how could this be..."

"You guys should still... uh..."

Suddenly, the man's face contorted in pain, and he collapsed to the ground. Belial shook his hand and said, "What a drag."

"Belia!"

……

Atedis...

"Tregear, what happened just now?" Robin asked, sipping her strawberry milk tea.

Torregia said, "It's nothing, Belial just asked me to hack a surveillance system."

After saying that, Tregear stood up and said, "Have everyone get ready, we're about to arrive in Wano Country."

"Ah."

A certain sea...

"I'm so frustrated, I can't see anything at all," a man complained, standing at the bow of the boat and looking into the distance.

Another man sitting in the back said, "Stop complaining. Based on the information those people provided, we estimate we'll be there soon, but we don't know how they are doing."

"Whatever, but that bastard better not get defeated by that old lady, or I'll lose face."

……

Water City

The two men left Water 7 by boat, and one of them asked, "Where are we going next?"

Another man glanced at the map. "According to intelligence, their next destination is the Sabaody Archipelago."

"Alright, let's go."
