Chapter 147
Smoothie looked up and saw the person who had come to her rescue. It was beyond her expectations.
It was actually Rorschach who had stepped in at the critical moment and saved her.
Rorschach’s height had now surged to 5 meters. Smoothie, who was originally 4.6 meters tall, now only reached his chest level.
The corners of Rorschach’s mouth curled up, revealing a disdainful smile.
Facing Big Mom’s incoming Weiguo, he raised his right hand, which was coated with Armament Haki and Conqueror’s Haki.
Then, just like Whitebeard using the Quake-Quake Fruit’s power, Rorschach forcefully "struck" the sword wave of Weiguo.
Crack crack crack.
Black lightning spread wildly, but this state didn’t last long.
With a slight exertion from Rorschach, Weiguo was already deflected from its original path and flew into the sky.
In an instant, the clouds in the sky were shattered by Weiguo, and the area within a hundred miles of Whole Cake turned into a clear, cloudless sky.
Rorschach was very familiar with the move Weiguo. Two years ago, right after setting sail and obtaining the Steel Balloon physique,
he had been smashed by Nagle using a hammer coated with Conqueror’s Haki. Through that realization, he learned Conqueror’s Haki.
Since then, Rorschach had also begun learning the technique of Haki infusion, and unintentionally used the same move as Charlotte Linlin — Weiguo!
Out of confidence and because he understood it too well, Rorschach used only one hand to deflect Big Mom’s Weiguo.
Boom.
However, right after deflecting Weiguo, the next scene was Big Mom charging at Rorschach with Napoleon raised high.
Clang.
Similarly, just like before, Rorschach used only his right hand coated with Haki to grab Napoleon’s blade.
But both Rorschach’s hand and Big Mom’s Napoleon were trembling nonstop. This was a contest of pure strength.
However, Rorschach was ultimately using only one hand, so he couldn’t match the power of Big Mom using both hands.
"Who are you?! Are you also here to stop me from eating the wedding cake?"
Big Mom’s swirl eyes were almost sprouting question marks.
She had just been about to kill one person who was blocking her from eating the wedding cake, and now another reckless fool had appeared in front of her.
"Can you calm down a little? She’s your daughter. Do you want to kill your own daughter?"
Rorschach sighed somewhat helplessly.
"No matter who it is, anyone who stands in the way of me eating the wedding cake must all die!!" freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Big Mom roared like she had lost her mind in response to Rorschach’s persuasion. Though in reality, she truly had no sanity left.
Rorschach felt genuinely helpless about this.
With a girl in his arms, he couldn’t free his hands to fight Big Mom with full strength.
His hand was constantly exerting force to grip the sword, and he was starting to feel a bit sore.
Big Mom’s strength wasn’t fake either. Rorschach estimated it was roughly on par with his current strength.
However, although Big Mom had great strength and power, her fighting technique was just average, full of openings.
Rorschach coated his right foot with powerful Haki, then kicked Big Mom in the stomach.
Boom.
Big Mom was sent flying into the forest like a depth charge, instantly smashing a large crater.
Rorschach glanced in that direction. Smoke filled the large pit where she had landed. Then he turned his head to look at Smoothie in his arms.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Rorschach asked gently, his eyes full of concern.
"Ah? Oh... I’m fine. Thank you very much for your help, Lord Rorschach. If not for you, I probably would have died at Mama’s hands."
Smoothie, who had been in a daze, woke up at Rorschach’s soft words.
Her face was now slightly flushed. She had been staring at Rorschach’s face the whole time earlier, and he had probably seen it all.
It was really too embarrassing. To stare at someone until she lost focus — if word got out, she would lose face as a Sweet Commander.
"It’s good that you’re fine... As a gentleman, I don’t want to see a beautiful woman like Miss Smoothie get hurt.
You have to be careful in future battles. Next time, if I’m not by your side, there won’t be anyone to save you in time."
Rorschach showed a gentle smile and spoke.
How could he miss such a good opportunity to raise favorability?
The hero-saving-the-beauty routine worked no matter where. As long as the person wasn’t extremely ugly, such a heroic act in front of a beauty would definitely earn favor.
However, men and women in the pirate world were a bit strange. They didn’t particularly value appearance.
Some people, even if the other party was extremely ugly, would still see them as a saintess in their eyes.
Just like how Big Mom never judged people by looks. No matter how ugly, as long as the race was special, she would marry them.
Her daughter Charlotte Lola was the same. She wasn’t very good-looking, yet she was fancied by the Giant Prince Loki.
...
"Smoothie... Are you okay?"
"Thank you very much for your timely assistance, Lord Rorschach. I am deeply grateful."
Katakuri arrived late. First, he looked at Smoothie with concern, then respectfully thanked Rorschach.
"I’m fine, Big Brother Katakuri."
Smoothie nodded at him.
Rorschach simply waved his hand, indicating it was a small matter.
"You two..."
Katakuri also spoke with a strange expression, but he stopped abruptly.
Seeing that after the crisis had passed, Smoothie was still nestled in Rorschach’s arms, and her face was slightly flushed.
Smoothie also suddenly pushed Rorschach away, then somewhat flusteredly straightened her skirt. The blush on her cheeks deepened.
’This is bad, this is bad. Big Brother Katakuri actually saw me in such an embarrassing state.’
’How am I supposed to hold my head up in the family from now on?’
Smoothie thought shyly in her heart.
However, her flustered appearance was something even Katakuri had never seen before. It had to be said that she looked a bit cute right now.
Even Katakuri was stunned for a moment.
"Lord Rorschach, Smoothie will be in your care from now on."
Katakuri’s expression was grave as he placed his hand on Rorschach’s shoulder with great seriousness and spoke.
"???"
Rorschach had a full black question mark expression.
This big brother-in-law sold his sister to me so quickly?
But that’s fine too. This big brother-in-law was dealt with so easily. As long as things didn’t get too ugly later, it should be quite harmonious.
Rorschach also had his own plans for the Charlotte Family.
First defeat BIG·MOM Charlotte Linlin, then incorporate the entire Charlotte Family and make Katakuri his fighter.
Completely turn the Totland Kingdom’s Whole Cake into the utopia Rorschach envisioned.
Because the entire Charlotte Family wasn’t of one mind. Many were not bound by Big Mom’s familial love, but by her terrifying power.
So Rorschach’s plan still had some feasibility.
Therefore, gaining Katakuri’s favor was also very necessary. After all, among the entire Charlotte Family, the person these children trusted and admired the most was none other than Katakuri.
