Chapter 81: The Tenth Day in the New World (140,000 Nutrient Solution Plus) Shock...
New World Day 10:
After giving Lola the toffee, Wendy returned to her room and teleported back.
Hawkeye saw that she took so long to come back, and was about to ask what happened...but then he saw Wendy take out a familiar new tea set from her package.
Hawkeye: “…” Well, no need to ask, he went to pick up things again.
After putting down all the things she had brought with her, Wendy went downstairs and gave her toffee to Lola.
Laura tasted one and her eyes lit up: "It's delicious! My spirits have definitely improved significantly, and I have a wonderful feeling of fullness...but is it a bit physically burdensome?"
"Yes, this restores 25 points of hunger and 15 points of sanity, but it will cost you 3 points of health. However, the side effects are minimal."
Laura also smiled. Having tasted it herself, she knew that this effect was nothing at all. This effect was even greater: "Eating too much sweets does put a certain burden on the body. This toffee is very strong. I will give it to Mom."
Lola did this in order to impress Wendy - she said that the toffee was given to her mother by Wendy. In this way, even if Katakuri later said that Wendy and her Shichibukai fiancé came here, she could use the fact that they also respected her mother and gave her desserts as tribute to avoid her mother being angry.
Wendy didn't know what he was thinking, so she just nodded. "Okay, I'm giving it to you anyway. It doesn't matter how you use it."
"Wendy..." Laura was once again moved to tears. She had lived in Wan Guo for her entire life, and Wendy was her first good friend outside of her family. She went over, took Wendy's hand, and promised, "Be sure to let me know in advance once you decide on the location for your wedding! But where is your home? How can I write to you?"
"We live on Kraigana Island, so the wedding will most likely be held there, six years from now." Wendy thought for a moment and added, "But I might also move... If you can't find me on Kraigana Island, you can write to Garp at the Naval Headquarters, and he'll pass it on to me."
Anyway, she had a wooden sign leading directly to Garp's office, so it was just a matter of eating more meatballs and making a trip.
"Garp... Is that the navy hero Garp?"
"Yes, Uncle Garp took me in right after I was born."
"I see..." Lola's face suddenly became clear—it was Garp who actually helped Wendy give birth! They looked like close relatives! Could they be father and daughter? Or granddaughter?
After Wendy made sure that people would bring gifts to her wedding, she ended the conversation, said goodbye to them, and returned to the ship, preparing to leave Wanguo.
Hawkeye saw her come back and asked, "You chose your companions very quickly this time. What did you talk about? You both got along so well?"
"We talked about marriage. Her mother wanted her to marry someone she didn't like, but she was inspired by our story and decided to find her own love," Wendy said seriously. "Oh, and I also invited Lola to attend our wedding six years later."
Hawkeye: “…”
Hawkeye's silence this time wasn't because he had nothing to say, but because he had so much to say that he didn't know what to say first...
He was really curious about what Wendy's "our story" had become that would make people feel so inspired to escape from marriage and pursue true love?
Also, did this ruin the marriage that Big Mom had arranged? He knew that Big Mom was the type to rely on marriages to expand her network.
But there was another question he was curious about...
"How many people did you invite to the wedding?"
"Hmm..." Wendy tilted her head and began to count. "Shanks and his group, the family from Tom's studio, and now Lola... I told everyone in Windmill Village before, but you went back on your word, so I went and told everyone it was cancelled. I'll go over and tell them later... And Ace and Luffy and their group too. I also have to tell Dragon and the others, and Uncle Garp, and I still have to pick up Law... Hmm! That's all for now!"
Hawkeye: “…”
If Kraikana Island wasn't large enough, he'd be worried about not being able to accommodate all the guests Wendy had invited. After all, this was just the beginning, and there were still six years to go... He couldn't imagine how many more people Wendy would invite.
And... I'm afraid that everyone from Windmill Village will look at him strangely.
But since Wendy had already invited everyone, he certainly couldn't ask for fewer people... Hawkeye had no choice but to say, "We don't have the Mourning Glory you're looking for here in Wan Guo. Do you want to continue looking?"
Wendy shook her head. "I want to go home and farm for a season... Oh, by the way, Mihawk, we still have to go to Shanks' place again. I forgot to ask Shanks for the map last time!"
While Wendy and Hawkeye were preparing to go find Shanks again, Lola was rushing home with a bunch of toffees in her hands. On the way, she met Katakuri who was looking for her.
Katakuri saw the colorful candies in her hand and was stunned for a moment: "That is..."
"This is a candy Wendy made herself!" Lola replied happily, and generously stuffed one into Katakuri's mouth. "This has a very good refreshing effect. Wendy gave it to me after I told her about my mother's food cravings. I can give it to her later."
Katakuri nodded silently - this was fine, it would count as the cost of their entry into the Bankoku, and he could have an excuse to his mother.
Since the little girl was friends with Lola, and Hawkeye and the others were just passing by and hadn't done anything to threaten Wan Guo, he was willing to turn a blind eye and not make a fuss about it.
But... the warnings that need to be given still need to be given.
"I believe your friends have no ill intentions," Katakuri said, frowning slightly. "But Hawkeye acted alone at the time, so his motives might not be so simple... Are you sure they left immediately?"
"I watched their ship safely leave the territory of the Kingdom and return. Katakuri-san, don't overthink it." Lola was also talking to her new friend. "And Hawkeye probably knew he was too conspicuous, so he acted alone to let Wendy have fun."
Katakuri: "..." Is it possible? That loner Hawkeye?
Although I was a bit shocked when I saw him feeding...
"It's true, they are true love—" Lola clasped her hands together, a look of longing on her face, "And I just found out that Wendy is a relative of Navy Garp... I was a little worried that she would be stopped from being with a pirate, but Hawkeye is a Shichibukai, so if he's recognized by the World Government, there should be no problem, right? Come to think of it, isn't this the reason why Hawkeye joined the Shichibukai?"
Katakuri: “…” Will it?
But after his sister proposed this idea, he couldn't help but think deeply - indeed... it seems to make sense... should he tell his mother about this information?
Katakuri was still hesitating, but a day later, when Big Mom was going berserk due to bulimia, Lola took out the toffee made by Wendy and fed it to her... Miraculously, this time, even though Big Mom didn't get to eat the dessert she wanted, she regained her sanity.
After she asked who made the toffee, she also gave the order: "Then bring this Wendy back."
"Wait a minute, Mom! Wendy won't stay in Wanguo..." Laura stepped forward and explained, "She's just my friend, she just happened to pass by..."
"Oh?" The pink-haired woman, eight meters and eighty centimeters tall and possessing a gigantic figure, looked down at her daughter standing before her. Her expression remained unchanged, yet it became ferocious, and her aura filled with immense intimidation. "Are you saying that she doesn't want to come to Wan Guo?"
Katakuri stepped forward at this time: "Mom, Lola's friend is a relative of Navy Captain Garp, and she is engaged to Hawkeye, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. She is from the World Government. It will probably be troublesome if we keep her."
Big Mom looked at her second son, and the pressure on her body gradually disappeared.
If that's the case...it will be a bit troublesome...
"I didn't expect the World Government to also be into marriage alliances." Big Mom looked down on the World Government copying her model. Although she hadn't given up the idea of capturing the little girl who could make the toffee that would help her recover, she wouldn't act rashly for the time being. Besides...
"Mama~mama~In that case, then invite that little girl to your wedding, Lola~!" She smiled again and looked at Lola with a bit of kindness in her eyes.
She was willing to be extra tolerant and loving to Lola at this moment, because Lola was about to realize her long-cherished ambition - Loki, the prince of the Elbaf giants, fell in love with Lola and proposed to her. She could use this to achieve a political marriage with the giants and obtain the powerful power of Elbaf!
Laura lowered her head, her expression gradually becoming determined - she was going to run away from home tomorrow to find her true love!
Nearby, a white albatross excitedly recorded the news: "This is really big news—we must report it well!"
He is Morgans, the president of the World Economic News Agency, and he publishes newspapers all over the world. Originally, he was only invited to attend BIG MOM's tea party because BIG MOM wanted him to report the news that the BIG MOM Pirates were going to reach a marriage alliance with the Giants.
Unexpectedly, it coincided with Big Mom's food craving period, and he also accidentally got a new big news... It turns out that this is the reason why Hawkeye joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea!
After returning to the news agency, he specifically ordered: "Go take some pictures of Hawkeye! He should have just left the World with his fiancée! Also, investigate the relationship between his fiancée and Garp!"
"President! We've taken photos of Hawkeye and a blonde woman in the Sabaody Archipelago before!"
"That must be her! Bring me the photo!"
"President, we learned from the Navy that Garp had a fight with Aokiji before. He said that Aokiji disappointed his daughter, so she found a pirate now!"
"Let's find out more about the situation. This is the photo I picked. It shows the relationship immediately! I'll publish this in the next issue of the newspaper!"
Morgans is very dedicated and still needs to provide pictures and confirm the authenticity when releasing news.
Before the release, another incident happened - the marriage between BIG MOM and the giants fell through! It seems that it was because BIG MOM's daughter ran away from the marriage!
So, just like that, this issue of the newspaper was published, with two major news stories, both with very attractive headlines...
——【Shocked! The reason Hawkeye joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea was because of her! 】
——[The substitutionary marriage is finally exposed! The marriage between Big Mom and the giants has reached its final conclusion! 】
I bought a newspaper from Newsbird, hoping to read about the consequences of Wendy's friend running away from home for love. To my surprise, the front page showed my own Hawkeye: "..."
"Ah, it's a photo of us having dinner at Shampooland." Wendy also came over to his side and stood on tiptoe to look at it, so close that her head rested on his shoulder. "Did they mention Lola?"
"...Well, your friend ran away from home, and Big Mom tried to impersonate someone else but was found out. The marriage between Big Mom and the giants ended in failure." Hawkeye closed the newspaper calmly.
As for the fact that his reasons for joining the Shichibukai were misinterpreted... let's not talk about it.
Because even if he refuted it, it seemed that no one would believe him now.
