(Vol 3) CHAPTER - 3 { Final step? }

Paradise, GrandLine___

A shocking news was spreading, it was something that nobody expected.

Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors as well as the only female member among them.

She was conducting a wedding, the bride being her daughter and the groom surprising everyone.

Wholeheart Wick, this name was very infamous in the New World.

He is the first son of the 'Devil of the Sea' and now he is also the groom of the wedding.

Everyone was shocked, including Big Mom herself. Never did she expect that the person whom she fought against would do something like this.

She then thought, and she made the decision of agreeing to the marriage proposal.

If she is getting a chance to defeat the old Whitebeard, Kaido and Shanks, why would she lose it?

As for who will be the bride, Big Mom had Charlotte Amande do the enlightenment.

She was her loyal daughter, and she always obeyed each and every order.

She is the third daughter and seventh child of the Charlotte Family, the second quadruplet sister to Mondee, Hachee, and Effilee, and a snake neck-human hybrid.

The wedding date was fixed two months later, and many big influencers were invited.

Mostly from the underworld. Morgans was very excited about this wedding.

Whereas, the Marines and the World Government were starting to get tense.

Two of the biggest forces in the New World, if they join and form a union.

The World Government was sure that it would lead to a terrifying wave.

The wave that will swipe everything in its way.

They must do something…

Totto Land___

The atmosphere here was different from the world, it can be described as happy and also tense.

In the middle of this territory was an extremely large island, it had mountains of cakes.

Whole Cake Chateau is the four-layered massive castle of Big Mom, located at the center of Whole Cake Island.

It is the largest cake building found in Sweet City. The Chateau's exterior resembled a four layered cake, with the three top layers in different sizes, and each layer had a different style although internally it had a total of ten floors.

In the main hall, Big Mom sat on her chair and ate sweets on the table.

"Mama Mama! How is the decoration going?"

Asked Big Mom, as she looked down on the figure while eating her sweets.

"Mama, everything is going smoothly. Only a few more things are left to prepare and all the invitation cards have been sent."

Holding a candy cane, Perospero reported as he licked it off with his long tongue.

"Perospero, you also have a grudge with them but you must remember. They will become a part of our family now, and I want to improve our relationship with them."

Looking at Perospero, Big Mom said with her tone and face serious.

"Yes, Mama! I will make sure to do as you say!"

Taking his leave, Perospero exited the hall while Big Mom enjoyed eating her sweets and drinking tea.

The decorations for the wedding were going with full energy, it was definitely a grand event in history.

Charlotte Linlin, mostly known as "Big Mom", one of the Four Emperors.

And,

Wholeheart Akuma, having the title "Devil of the Sea", one of the Four Strongest Forces in the world.

Were going to become a one big family.

Heaven Realm___

Inside the dark hall of the White House, Akuma held the latest newspaper in his hands.

'Already out?'

It's been only two days since the proposal of marriage and the news was published.

"Master, I wanted to know. When will the final step start?"

Opposite to the golden throne where Akuma sat, Maba bowed and asked with anticipation.

"Don't be impatient. The final step is not long, maybe in the next two years."

A small smile appeared on Akuma's face, he threw the newspaper to Maba.

*Clank*

The door opened, sunlight entered the dark hall and illustrated the front area.

A huge figure with four wings stepped in, the sound of metal touching the floor was heard.

"Father, did you take your medicine?"

The figure who walked in was Bella, the second daughter and the third child of the Wholeheart Family.

On her arms was a baby, it resembled Bella perfectly and even had four wings.

"I have finished the medicine. What about my grandson, is he healthy?"

Akuma looked at the baby, he was very cute. Bella came next to him and let him hold the baby.

"Yes, he really drinks a lot of milk"

Replied Bella as she smiled at Akuma, her eyes then turned to Maba and she asked.

"Maba, have you prepared the ships?"

Maba nodded his head. While they talked about a few more important things, Akuma held his grandson.

His black eyes stared at the sleeping baby, if seen by any normal person.

They would think that Akuma was about to devour the little baby in his hands.

Suddenly, the eyes of the baby opened but instead of crying he looked back at Akuma.

The baby's eyes were also completely black, very similar to Akuma's.

Their eyes made, and the baby giggled as he tried to hold Akuma's finger.

"Looks like Yios woke up."

The baby was named Yios, and it was given by Akuma.

"Maba, call everyone back. We have to attend my son's wedding."

Reverse Mountain, is an extremely tall mountain at one of the points where the four Blues meet and is one of the two known entrances to the Grand Line.

It is located in the Red Line and is the geographical antipode of Mary Geoise.

The mountain has five rivers, four ascending from each of the world's seas and one descending into the Grand Line.

A small pirate ship sailed down the mountain and came to the exit of the Reverse Mountain.

The figurehead of the ship was a sheep's head, it was of a new pirate crew.

"Look! We have made it in GrandLine!"

From the bow of the ship, Luffy shouted with a big grin on his face.

"We made it! We made it!"

On the deck, Usopp and Nami held their hands and jumped in a circle celebrating for living past the deadly storm.

"The weather is not bad."

Zoro commented while jumping from the top of the main mast and landing on the deck.

"For successfully crossing Reverse Mountain and reaching GandLine, I made delicious cakes!"

From the kitchen, Sanji shouted, making Luffy touch his stomach which was hungry.

"Sanji! Meat!"

As they were eating, on one of the railing. A furry animal gripped it tightly and slept.

"GandLine! New World! Pirate King!"

In his sleep, Goof muttered.
