As they approached Cake Island, Perona finally fainted. To those who love sweet things, this island made up of more than ten super-large cakes is no different from the paradise in fairy tales.
"This Cake Island really lives up to its name. It is much more stunning than it looks in the photo." Robin exclaimed. Nature may be amazing, but it definitely cannot create such a magnificent wonderland. I wonder how much energy the owner of the island spent in transforming this island.
"Rather than being shocked, I want to taste the flavor of this island. It's simply heaven!" Perona woke up from a coma, staring at the Cake Island with her eyes wide open, her saliva already bursting.
"Perona, since you like Cake Island so much, why don't you move to this island?" Duke said unhappily.
"Ah, Captain, do you have a solution? You must have a solution, right?" Perona immediately hugged Duke's thigh and started to act cute.
Duke kicked his legs in disgust. "It's easy to live on Cake Island. You just need to apply to Big Mom. As long as you are willing to pay the price."
"cost!?"
Unfortunately, Perona is too lazy and has no ambition, so the Spirit-Spirit Fruit has only developed limited moves such as "Soul Out of Body", "Negative Ghost" and "Ghost Bomb".

"Yes, she is the user of the Parahuman Soul-Soul Fruit. She can manipulate people's souls at will and extract them from their bodies. She can even let souls reside in various objects and create intelligent creatures called 'Homiz'." As one of the Four Emperors, Big Mom's abilities are well-known all over the world. It has long been no secret, and Perona is naturally aware of it.
Perona immediately took the bait, but when she turned around and saw Perospero's dignity, she shuddered and said, "No, it's too ugly!"
Duke did not answer directly, but asked: "Perona, do you know what Big Mom's ability is?"
"Alas, but there are no rivers of juice, houses made of chocolate, or clouds made of marshmallows on Munitions Island. Is that okay?"
"Homiz is a soldier created by Big Mom, obeying her orders and dispatches. He is very similar to the zombies created by your former boss Moria's Shadow Fruit. However, Moria's zombies have obvious weaknesses and look much worse, so they are much inferior in comparison..."
"If you don't want to, there is another way!" Duke threw out another bait, still a disgusting one.
"Yeah, the last time we met was two years ago..." BIG MOM was quite emotional. Two years ago, Duke's Arms Island had just started out and was a new upstart in the underground world, but now, he has become a big shot who can make the whole world tremble with just a stomp of his feet.
"Tsk tsk, that's such a pity, I was going to help you apply for residency here!" Duke said with a look of regret.
“There really are people like this!”
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Sweets are women's natural enemies. I have decided to draw a clear line between them." Although Perona likes sweets, she is not obsessed with them to the point of giving up one-sixth of her life for them. She still has Dark Wind's toys waiting to be pampered. Living a few more years is the truth.
Indeed, compared to the miserable life in the outside world where one's future is uncertain, the Ten Thousand Kingdoms are a real paradise for many weak people. They are willing to pay any price to live in paradise.
Duke pushed the face aside and said, "You said that. Don't regret it. Many people don't have the chance to get residency."
Perona was a little scared, but she couldn't bear to give up the dessert that was so close to her. She thought that as long as the price was not too high, she could barely accept it.
Perona was quite embarrassed to hear the name of her former boss from her current boss's mouth, and she interrupted him hastily, "Captain, get to the point!"
"It's very simple. All you have to do is become a member of Big Mom's family, which means marrying one of Big Mom's sons." Duke said, throwing out the bait.
"As long as you become a resident of this island or a subordinate of Big Mom, you can enter and exit the island freely."
"Captain, I was thinking about the ability of BIG MOM's fruit. According to you, isn't she invincible? She can drain the life of her enemies at will. Who can defeat her?" Robin couldn't help but ask after listening to Duke's explanation.
Duke naturally stopped her waist and said, "There is no invincible fruit, and the Soul-Soul Fruit is no exception. As long as you don't have fear of Big Mom, her ability will be ineffective."
"Well, you may not believe it, but BIG MOM was also a great beauty when she was young, and her son isn't much worse!" Duke complained in his mind. The women in the pirate world were not bad when they were young, but they became horrible once they got older.
Glancing at Robin in Duke's arms, Big Mom's face darkened slightly, and she thought about finding a beautiful daughter to push Robin away.
"Then BIG MOM is still a good person?" Perona complained. A big pirate who can start a war for sweets can never be considered a good person.
When Perona heard this, her face turned green and her teeth chattered with fear: "Captain, you are scaring me again. Everyone has only one soul. How can it be handed in in batches?" "Although you are a user of the Spirit Spirit Fruit, your level of development is too low. Your understanding of the soul is far less than that of Big Mom." Duke first rubbed the pink hair on Perona's head in hatred, and then continued: "The soul is another form of life, equivalent to a person's lifespan. Every time the residents of the Ten Thousand Nations hand in their souls, it is equivalent to handing in one month of life."
"Haha, the price is too high. I think Arms Island is still pretty good." Perona swallowed and looked at Cake Island again, only to find that the beautiful scenery in front of her became extremely evil.
"Yes, Wan Guo is a dream country. It is a country where all races in the world can live together regardless of their status. If you want to obtain the right to reside in Wan Guo, the price is to hand over your soul to Big Mom every six months. These souls are used to create 'Homiz', which is the army of Wan Guo."
"Captain, you are making fun of me again. I am loyal to you, okay?" Perona came forward with a fawning smile on her face.
"?" Perona pricked up her ears.
Perona is a user of the superhuman Ghost Fruit, or more precisely, the Spirit-Spirit Fruit, which is very similar to Big Mom's Soul-Spirit Fruit in terms of power, and the two can even be classified in the same category. Brook's superhuman Yomiuri Fruit is also a soul-related fruit, and is extremely precious.
Duke did not answer this question. Whether BIG MOM is good or bad depends on the individual. To those who are desperate in the outside world, she is truly God.
"Absolutely not!" Perona shook her head so hard that it almost became a rattle.
Duke said confidently: "In this sea full of pirates, human life is the least valuable. Although living in Wano Country costs one's life span, this is the territory of the Big Mom Pirates. There is no war or famine, and one does not have to live in fear. In comparison, one-sixth of one's life span is nothing."
Big Mom rode on the thundercloud 'Zeus', suspended above the port, with a huge body comparable to Kaido, giving people a strong sense of oppression. It's not the domineering color, but the momentum that comes from being on the throne for a long time and holding the power of killing.
"I haven't seen you for two years, and you're still so... charming!" Duke organized his words, but couldn't find any good adjectives.
"Don't say that. The Charlotte family has good genes and there are handsome guys too."
Thinking of the price of obtaining residency rights, Perona was terrified: "It's a lie, how could there be such a person?"
"So simple? Captain, you are not kidding me?" Perona instinctively realized that Duke was teasing her.
"Ahahahaha, King of Arms, I've been waiting here for a long time." As the warship entered the port, the sound of joyful music rang out, followed by BIG MOM's hoarse voice.
"I don't want that either!"
Whenever she thought of this, BIG MOM felt a pang of pain, blaming her daughter for not living up to her expectations. If she had used her beauty to win over Duke, with the strength of the BIG MOM Pirates + the influence of the Arms Island, she would have been the most powerful force in the New World.
"Hmph, Charlotte Linlin, I've been here for half a day, didn't you see it?" Kaido roared angrily. He felt embarrassed that BIG MOM deliberately ignored him.
"Bai Shou, you guy, I don't remember inviting you!" BIG MOM also has a bad temper.
"That's great, I just need a reason to make a big fuss." Kaido said as he released his Domineering Haki. The huge momentum overwhelmed the whole audience. The harbor that was filled with laughter and joy suddenly became quiet. The 'Homiz' who were cheering on both sides of the red carpet were hit by the Domineering Haki and were scared out of their wits.
"Beast, you are looking for death!!!"
