Super Card System-Chapter 708: The Intruder

“Why is it sweets again!?”

The entire Dragon Hunter Pirates had been busy for many days. Today, they finally managed to gather for a group meal, but as soon as Ian saw the food on the table, he immediately became displeased!

Not just him—even Crocodile and Enel wore expressions of disdain. In fact, the whole crew of the Dragon Hunter Pirates reluctantly put down their knives and forks.

The reason was simple: they were sick to death of eating sweets all this time!

“We can’t help it!” Reiju sat beside Ian, resting her chin on one hand and lazily poking a donut on her plate with a fork in the other. “Most of the food stored on Whole Cake Island is desserts—sugar, chocolate, cream, cookies, and the like. If we don’t eat these, what else can we eat?”

Ian weakly slumped his upper body onto the table and said, “I want to eat meat, vegetables! Something salty!”

At this time, Robin was spreading jam on a piece of bread. Seeing Ian like this, she smiled and said, “You’re a Yonko now; how can you lack such presence?”

“Damn it, a Yonko is human too!” Ian began pounding the table. “At this rate, our entire Dragon Hunter Pirates will become the ‘Three Fat Pirates’! Matthew, where’s Matthew!? Where is he?”

“He’s in the kitchen!” Enel was holding a piece of Black Forest cake. Although it looked delicious, the sweet aroma made him feel nauseous. He casually tossed it aside, stood up, and said, “I can’t take it anymore; I’ll go get him!”

With that, Enel transformed into lightning and disappeared with a zap.

“Oh, how I miss the taste of roasted meat and beer!” After Enel left, Urouge said this, causing the entire crew to lose their appetite even more.

One by one, they put down their utensils and simply started chatting.

However, there was one exception—the guy Doroni. While everyone else refused to eat the sweets, he accepted everything, continuously stuffing pastries into his mouth. Everyone was speechless watching him, so they simply pushed all their dessert plates in front of him.

Ian looked at Doroni and said helplessly, “Sometimes I really envy Doroni’s Gluttony Fruit; he can eat so much…”

“Being able to eat is a kind of happiness!” Nana laughed. “But I’ve always wanted to ask you a question. Back on the Sky Island, what exactly did you give Big Mom to eat? Why did she have such a blissful expression on her face when she died?”

During this time, everyone had heard about the battle on the Sky Island and knew that Ian had thrown Big Mom a bag of snacks. So not just Nana, but the entire crew was curious about this matter.

“Here we go again…” Ian was speechless.

Recently, the speculation about Big Mom’s blissful smile before her death had subtly reached Ian’s ears, making him feel that everyone’s gaze toward him these days was a bit odd, making him very uncomfortable. Although he had tried his best to explain, it was only within the Dragon Hunter Pirates. Who knows what rumors were circulating outside…

He finally understood why the envoys who came to the island recently all brought along plump girls…

But to be honest, Ian was also a bit puzzled about Big Mom’s smile.

“Don’t ask me; I really don’t know!” Ian raised his hands in a gesture. “If you want to ask, you should ask Law. He was the one who went to the kitchen to collect the snacks. Only he knows what snacks he grabbed!”

So everyone turned to look at Trafalgar Law, only to find that he was leaning sideways, one arm resting on the back of his chair, smiling as he watched Walnut drinking juice next to him.

“Hmph! Lolicon!” In full view of everyone, Sugar, who was sitting with Walnut, suddenly said this to Law.

“You… you brat…!” Law was so angered by Sugar’s words that he gritted his teeth, but he couldn’t help but blush.

Baby-5, still somewhat afraid of Law, quickly covered Sugar’s mouth and shushed her, signaling not to tease him further.

“Ahem!” Seeing everyone’s amused gazes, Law had to fake a cough twice, then spread his hands with a cold face and said, “I don’t know either! I just grabbed them casually at the time… Who knows what Big Mom ate!?”

“It shouldn’t be…” Ian frowned. In fact, he also understood that his quick and easy defeat of Big Mom with that Black Void Flash was actually due to Big Mom experiencing some sudden happiness from eating a certain snack. At that moment, she completely relaxed, without any defense, and took his attack head-on.

But… in the bag of snacks that Law brought, there was definitely no wedding cake or anything like that. How could it have pulled Big Mom out of her eating disorder?

While everyone was puzzled, a slow voice suddenly sounded, “It was… Semla…!”

Enel had returned, bringing Matthew with him. This slow, drawn-out tone was, of course, Matthew speaking.

“Semla? What’s that?” Crocodile asked in confusion.

Raideen suddenly spoke up, “Semla is a delicious pastry used in our Giant Tribe’s festivals!”

He turned to Matthew and asked, “You made Semla that day?”

Matthew nodded and began to explain slowly. Before everyone went crazy from his pace, they finally understood what had happened.

It turned out that before landing on Whole Cake Island, Raideen had told Ian that he didn’t really want to meet Big Mom. After Ian took Reiju to the island, Raideen, who stayed on the Sky Island, was questioned by everyone and talked about the legend among the Giants about Big Mom, the ‘Evil God.’

Matthew was also listening. As they chatted, Raideen mentioned how Big Mom had destroyed the village of Elbaf Warriors and killed the Giants’ elder because of Semla pastries. As a chef, Matthew was naturally interested in this magical pastry, so he asked Raideen how to make it.

Raideen wasn’t sure; he was a warrior and didn’t study such things. He only described the appearance and taste of Semla. After hearing his description, Matthew tried to recreate it.

Since it was an experimental product, Matthew stayed in the kitchen at the time. Possibly, when Law went to collect the snacks, he included the Semla that Matthew had made…

Hearing this, even Ian was dumbfounded. He knew Matthew’s cooking skills were excellent, but he never expected that Matthew’s experimental Semla could make Big Mom recall the taste in her memory!

This could only be the explanation; otherwise, Ian really couldn’t figure out why Big Mom suddenly snapped out of her eating disorder at the last moment…

“Well, the mystery is finally solved!” Ian said. “But Matthew, you’re our Dragon Hunter Pirates’ head chef. Can you stop making these sweets for us? Even if there’s no other food on Whole Cake Island, didn’t those envoys bring any meat or vegetables among their gifts!?”

“Yeah, yeah!” The crew of the Dragon Hunter Pirates protested one after another.

However, Matthew pointed innocently at Doroni, who was still devouring food, and said, “There… were… but… Doroni… ate… them… all…”

Everyone’s mouths hung open, and they were speechless for a long time. When they finally came to their senses, they immediately began to beat up Doroni, the glutton!

“Well, it seems we’ll have to keep eating sweets until the supply ship returns from the outer seas…” Baccarat shrugged, then looked worriedly at her waistline, fearing that her figure might be in great danger.

Not only her, but several of the girls were also concerned…

“By the way, has there been any news from Uncle Fujitora?” After the casual chat, Ian began to discuss serious matters.

“No,” Crocodile shook his head, biting his cigar. “Seriously, that old man didn’t even take a Den Den Mushi… You know how isolated Wano Country is from the outside world. Unless we send someone there ourselves, we can only wait.”

“Don’t worry!” Reiju comforted Ian. “Uncle Fujitora’s strength is formidable; nothing will happen to him…”

“I’m thinking, should I make a trip to the Whitebeard Pirates!” Ian tapped his fingers thoughtfully. “It was Marco and the others who called to inform us about Wano Country. Maybe they have some news.”

Given Ian’s current speed, flying back and forth wouldn’t take much time. So everyone exchanged glances and didn’t object.

Just as Ian was about to make a decision, they suddenly heard the sound of something breaking through the air.

Looking up, they saw that it was Yonji of the Vinsmoke family, hurrying toward them from the sky.

Yonji landed quickly, his jet boots keeping him hovering about a dozen centimeters above the ground. Seeing her brother, Reiju asked curiously, “Yonji, aren’t you stationed on the outer islands?”

“We wanted to contact you via Den Den Mushi, but Father asked me to come in person!” Yonji grinned, glancing a few more times at the beauties Robin, Nana, and Baccarat, before saying to Ian, “The Territory Slugs have issued an alert. A ship has intruded into Totto Land without permission!”

“Pirates?” Ian asked. “Then why don’t you just drive them away?”

“Well, it’s a pirate ship, but they don’t seem to be enemies!” Yonji said. “You’d better come and see for yourself because those pirates specifically asked to see you! They seem to be your acquaintances…”
