Chapter 249: Kataku's Strategy
An hour later, in the tent of the base camp of the "Big Mom Pirates".
The "aunt" who munched on the mountains of sweets because she consumed too much was already a little impatient to wait.
However, the head baker personally cut a piece of buttered toast and gave it to her, and she still held her temper, opened her mouth, and ate it.
Katakuri's daily punctual "dessert time" has also arrived, but the "Big Mom Fleet" has been attacked one after another, and the Charlotte family has suffered many casualties, so it is impossible for him to choose this time to indulge.
It seems that today's indulgence opportunity can only be missed, and this is the first time in so many years that Katakuri has been in years.
Finally, Perospero hurried into the tent.
When he saw that there were more than his mother sitting inside, his face turned a little pale.
Katakuri, Smuji, and Klee, as well as Daifuku, the "Minister of Beans", and Owen, the "Minister of Baking", are all here.
The people in the camp are the core characters of the "Big Mom Pirate Fleet" that set off this time.
As for Mom's eldest daughter, "Fruit Minister" Comppert, stays on Cake Island to guard against possible threats.
Seeing the eldest brother come in, the eyes of the younger siblings were focused on him.
A one-sided massacre made the eldest son of the Charlotte family gloomy, but he didn't dare to stand up, so he had to kneel down in front of his younger siblings and his mother.
Knicker looked at it with sympathy and pity, and his heart was pounding.
For not long ago, because of the same guilt, he was the one who knelt here.
But he didn't dare to speak for his eldest brother Perospero like Katakuri and Smuji.
He himself is burdened with guilt, and it is difficult for him to protect himself, so it is too unwise to take the initiative to intercede for Perospero.
"Read." Although Charlotte Lingling knew that David Jones was disassembling her relationship with her son, she still couldn't wipe her face and went to help Perospero up, only to let him kneel like this.
Perospero looked down at the lines of the report, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and read with trembling lips: "We...... Fang Cai lost a total of ...... Thirteen ships...... Heavy casualties......"
"No need to talk so much nonsense." Charlotte Lingling swallowed a cream cake and was mentally prepared, "This time, who died?" ”
Perospero understood that her mother's concern was not for the combatants and soldiers, but for her related children.
Despite the discomfort in his heart, he could only pronounce the names of those people one by one.
The 35th son of Eun, who can "walk the moon" and the ball at the top of the cane, can become larger.
The 29th son who likes to wear a black wide-brimmed hat.
The 20th female Prim who is an octopus mermaid.
Melize, the 17th woman wearing antlers.
The "mixed minister" with a round shield, the 30th son of Sibster.
The scythe-wielding "Chancellor of the Exchequer", the 15th son, Nozette.
The weapon is the "Minister of Wine" with two hatchets and a pistol, and the 11th son Ziket.
The "Big Mom Fleet" was never able to engage the "Davy Jones Fleet" head-on.
But after only three horrific attacks, the "Big Mom Fleet" has already lost 13 members of the Charlotte family and sunk 16 ships at the same time.
Counting the fuse of this "battle between the old and the new four emperors" - "Snag who died", David Jones and his subordinates have the blood of 14 Charlotte family members on their hands!
This is a unique tragedy since the establishment of the "Big Mom Pirates".
They had faced "Whitebeard" Newgate, "Beast" Kaido, Wang Zhi, and the Navy Headquarters before, and none of the Charlotte family members had been killed.
Once upon a time, only Charlotte Lola, the 23rd daughter of the "former Minister of Chocolate", ran away from marriage because she did not want to marry the prince of the Giant Clan, and her final whereabouts are unknown.
In addition, the "family tree" of the Charlotte family's generation has always been complete and not missing.
can fight against the "Hades of the Deep" David Jones, but they have suffered heavy losses!
Perospero read it to the end, but after all, he couldn't bear it anymore, and slammed his head on the floor, convulsed, and cried softly.
When he cried like this, it was like opening the valve of sadness, and several other people couldn't resist the emotional collapse.
Katakuri held back, raising his head, his eyes red, but he didn't shed tears.
Smuji, Klee, Daifuku, and Owen were crying silently, unable to keep their emotions calm any longer.
I believe that outside the camp, the rest of the Charlotte family members are also grieving at the moment.
The dead are all relatives they have been with for more than ten years or even decades, and their grief has long overflowed.
It's just that the tragedy has happened, and no one can undo it.
The head bread chef didn't hear about it, and continued to make dessert sandwiches in a corner of the tent unhurriedly.
He was used to seeing too many deaths and partings, and all he cared about for the rest of his life was how to satisfy Charlotte Lingling's appetite.
The sorrow in the tent has not subsided for a long time.
Charlotte Lingling listened to this cry with a gloomy face, her eyes narrowed, and she suddenly raised her hand and slammed the table next to her.
With a click, the long table shattered, and desserts were scattered all over the floor.
Although this was a waste, it also stopped the crying of everyone.
"What are you crying about?!" Charlotte Lingling scolded, "Can crying bring them back to life?!" I want revenge, not to see you cry from day to night and cry David Jones to death! ”
Everyone was stunned, then lowered their heads and collected their emotions.
The head baker of the long bread walked over and worked on the dusty pile of pastries that had fallen to the ground, his expression a little stiff.
After all, Katakuri was the first to recover after the experience of countless bloody battles.
He looked at Perospero and noticed that his eldest brother was still on his knees, looking depressed.
In "Big Mom Pirates", Katakuri and Perospero often act as "think tanks" and give advice to their mothers, but the eldest brother is dumbfounded at this time.
David Jones's ploy was half the battle. Katakuri thought to himself with both sadness and anger.
He knew that someone had to stand up now, boost morale, and show the way, otherwise his side would collapse before the decisive battle.
Since the eldest brother is sluggish, then he can only do it.
Katakuri got up from his seat and half-knelt in front of Charlotte Lingling.
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were attracted to him.
"Katakuri." Charlotte Lingling nodded in relief, "What do you have in mind?" ”
"Mom, I don't think we can have a showdown with David Jones at sea." Katakuri raised his head, "These three attacks are the most painful lessons, the sea is their home turf, and it is in their favor." ”
In addition, due to the attack on the logistics fleet, many of the previously looted materials were lost, including a large number of ingredients used to make pastries for my mother.
Neither Perospero nor Katakuri dared to mention this because they were afraid that their mother would have an immediate seizure.
All in all, Katakuri understands that it cannot be delayed any longer, and that it must be resolved quickly.
Once the "dessert stock" is emptied, the mother is not satisfied, and the "food sickness" attacks, it will be a nightmare for both the enemy and us.
The third son, Daifuku, who had a yellow head and a shawl bulging like two big round balls, stood up and echoed his brother Katakuri: "Yes, Mom, we have to pull them to the land to fight!" ”
Owen, the fifth son of the "triplets" who is also a "triplet" with Katakuri and Daifuku, asked: "But our territory with David Jones is still separated by the sea, and they can't watch us cross the sea, can we still fly over?" ”
There was silence in the tent.
There are actually many of them who can fly with the help of "fruit ability", or fly through the air with "moon steps", but how to fly with ships and large troops?
Once again, everyone was at a loss.
That's when Katakuri came up with a brilliant idea.
He looked up, "Mom, I have a way to send our vanguard into Davy Jones' territory without much effort, even without knowing it. ”
"Huh?" Charlotte Lingling was puzzled for a moment and reacted, "Are you planning to use Brie's 'Mirror Fruit Ability'?" ”
Bray is Charlotte Lingling's 8th daughter, who is able to navigate the "mirror world" at will, and is also Katakuri's favorite sister.
When everyone heard this, they also understood what Katakuri was thinking, and they couldn't help but nod silently, thinking that it was feasible.
"Yes." "Just make sure that David Jones' troops are stationed on that island, where to guard against emptiness, and then, if Brie is close enough, we can open a 'mirror passage' for us to go straight to David Jones' lair." ”
At that time, the divine soldiers will descend from the sky, and they will definitely be able to catch David Jones off guard, and then be ashamed!
Listening to this bold and careful plan, the morale of the people finally rose, and even Perospero raised his head, and his eyes rekindled the anger of revenge.
