"Respected guest, we've arrived. Please disembark here. We look forward to seeing you again."The chocolate-cream ship slowed to a gentle stop, its tone cheerful as it bid farewell to Shirogai.
"Haha, you've worked hard," Shirogai said, stepping off the ship first.urned thoughtful. "If we continue expanding, we'll inevitably clash with the other Yonko. It could bring harm to Totto Land's citizens."
She shifted the blame subtly toward the others. "If it weren't for the need to avoid war, Mama could extend her peace to all lands — where everyone eats, drinks, and lives equally."
Her words were deliberate — an attempt to paint Big Mom as the savior of the world.
"So," Shirogai said with a playful glint, "if the other Yonko were gone, Big Mom would bring peace to all?"
Smoothie smiled faintly, but his tone told her she'd been seen through. His Whisper-Whisper Fruit made such manipulation useless.
"At the very least, no one would go hungry," she murmured.
Shirogai nodded. "Having enough to eat has always been vital for every race… but using food to control others — that's despicable."
"Esteemed guest," Smoothie interjected with a calm smile, "perhaps you don't yet know the history of Cake Island."
She redirected the conversation smoothly, explaining the island's background as the carriage rolled to a stop.
The door opened, and Smoothie stepped out first. Chess Soldiers surrounded the enormous cake castle, their posture sharp and disciplined.
"Please," Smoothie said, opening the door for him. "Mama is waiting for you in the reception hall."

"Mamamama~~~ What a strong and dazzling soul! As expected, this one's as powerful as those monsters!"
Charlotte Linlin, Big Mom herself, sat within the vast reception hall, her laughter booming.
Her Soul-Soul Fruit had already sensed him — a vibrant, commanding presence akin to Whitebeard in his prime, Rocks D. Xebec, and Kaido.
"Mama looks so happy!" one of her children whispered in awe.
It was rare to see her this excited unless food or hunger was involved.
Click!
The doors opened.
Smoothie stepped forward first and bowed. "Mama, your invited guest has arrived."
Then came the man himself — tall, calm, with black hair and a faint smile.
For a moment, everyone froze.
That couldn't be him… could it?
Before anyone could speak, Big Mom rose to her full nine-meter height, her massive form towering over the hall. Her eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Mamamamama! Welcome to Totto Land,
Plunderer — Shirogai Yamikuro!"
