It seemed the other party was indeed greatly surprised.
After all, in their lifetime, they had never heard of any contact between Big Mom and Kaido.
"Put Linlin on."
Kaido had no interest in playing the game of passing messages through minions.
"Please wait a moment! I will ask for instructions immediately!"
After confirming it was really Kaido, the operator immediately took his legs off the table.
Grabbing the Den Den Mushi, he sprinted non-stop towards the castle's main hall, his legs a hundred times stronger than when he was slacking off.
He dared not delay in the slightest.
This was a call from a Yonko; he couldn't bear any responsibility for messing it up.
The static lasted for a while.
A burst of vocal music, like a children's choir, came through, sounding very cheerful.
"La la la, la la la~~"
"Clang clang clang~ Black tea~"
"Green tea!"
"More cake~~"
Childish voices chattered incessantly, most of the vocabulary being names of desserts.
It was like a dessert party in a kindergarten.
"Mama!!
It's a call from Kaido!" the operator shouted flusteredly, holding the Den Den Mushi high.
"Eat me quickly~ Eat me quickly~"
"The taste of donuts~"
The childish voices continued to giggle.
A familiar, sharp, pinched voice, very much like a witch's, rang out: "Shut up!"
All the Homies fell silent.
The operator carefully placed the Den Den Mushi in front of the Queen of Totto Land.
This bloated behemoth had messy pink hair draped over her shoulders. Her large, round eyes under purple eyeshadow were bloodshot, and the bright lipstick smeared on her mouth was as vivid as fresh blood.
She constantly grabbed various desserts from both sides and stuffed them into that terrifyingly large mouth, crumbs spraying as she chewed.
She looked like a terrifying, savage, violent man-eating monster.
Every time he saw her, he couldn't help but feel fear and tremble with trepidation.
Many members of the Charlotte Family standing around felt the same way deeply.
"Mama~ Mama~~ Kaido... I really didn't expect you to contact me on your own initiative."
The person opposite said.
The Den Den Mushi mimicked Big Mom vividly, as if she were right across from Kaido.
Especially those narrowed eyes and the mouth tilting upwards while constantly eating and drinking.
"Long time no see, old hag. But I'm not here to reminisce."
The ceaseless sounds of eating and drinking made Kaido not want to chat with her for long.
The unceremonious "old hag"...
Made the corners of the Tobi Roppo's eyes twitch beside him, their hearts trembling.
Don't deliberately pick a fight, Boss!!
However, the subsequent conversation made them breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed the other party didn't care about this form of address.
"Looks like you're in a hurry. Then~ what is your purpose for finding me?"
"Before discussing business, I'm ready to repay the favor I owe you. It just so happens I hold intelligence concerning your life in my hands."
"...?"
"Mama's life?"
"We didn't receive this kind of intelligence?"
"What is the intelligence department doing!?"
The members of the Charlotte Family were startled, stemming from their unease about their own protector.
Big Mom gradually lowered her hand, leaving the piece of sweet cake in her palm uneaten.
Looking at the Den Den Mushi mimicking Kaido's appearance, she mocked:
"Oh? You've started talking big too. Who can take my life? Red Hair, Sengoku, or that brat Akainu?"
"Or perhaps it just takes a Devil Fruit, or some poison."
Poisoning only happens from the inside.
So, Kaido's implication was obvious.
There was a traitor in the Charlotte Family, and she was the target.
"What? Who?!"
"Don't speak nonsense!"
"Are you trying to drive a wedge between Mama and us!?"
"..."
The vast majority of the children were agitated. Their goal was not to confirm who the traitor was as soon as possible...
But to deny this statement first, so as not to let Big Mom suspect them, to protect themselves.
Only a few older siblings were more concerned about Big Mom's health.
For example, Katakuri.
"Silence!" Katakuri frowned in dissatisfaction. This group of younger brothers and sisters had been overly protected.
Big Mom also understood what Kaido was referring to. If it was really as Kaido said, then it was indeed somewhat dangerous.
So she asked, "Who is it?"
"Your son-in-law, Capone Bege. One of the Worst Generation from the West Blue mafia. His method of ruling the mafia is to infiltrate and seize the opportunity to cut off the enemy's head. Didn't you investigate?"
Kaido grinned slightly, as if mocking such a large intelligence department for being useless.
This scene was naturally seen by Big Mom through the Den Den Mushi.
A ball of anger involuntarily rose in her heart.
"Katakuri!" She looked directly at her most outstanding child, the pillar of the family.
"Yes, Mama." Katakuri nodded and walked out gloomily.
There was silence in the room.
The Charlotte children silently rejoiced that the enemy had been identified, and they were temporarily safe.
The Homies were ordered by Big Mom to be silent.
Kaido's side was also quietly waiting for verification.
A moment later.
Katakuri contacted them via Den Den Mushi.
"Yes, the evidence is conclusive."
Big Mom crushed the mobile dining table holding the cakes with one hand. The iron plate creaked as it deformed.
Muscles faintly bulged on her fat-filled body, and fire was about to burst from her eyes.
An aura of killing intent and coldness arose in the venue.
Even Napoleon, the bicorne hat on her head, was jolted awake, the eyes on the hat darting around.
Realizing Kaido was still there, she took a deep breath and asked:
"What do you want?"
"Borrow your daughter for a use." Kaido was unceremonious, directly raising a sensitive topic for the family. "Charlotte Pudding."
"Bastard!"
"You dare to ask for our people?"
"She definitely won't come back after being taken away!"
"..."
The Charlotte Family was unusually united at this time, which was also their customary trick for mutual protection.
But ultimately, it still depended on Big Mom's will.
"Impossible! That is my daughter!" Big Mom stood up abruptly, her aura exceptionally violent. Mentioning family always made her lose her composure to some extent.
She might not be gentle internally, but externally, she would definitely protect her cubs.
Anyone who knew about her childhood would know that when it came to family, she might be even more extreme than Whitebeard.
"She's just a tool to you."
"Say whatever you want! But I say, no!"
"I just helped you solve a problem."
"That was the favor you owed me!"
"Nothing to discuss?"
"Kaido, shut your stinking mouth!"
"Worororo~ Fine then. Don't say I didn't come to you later."
Click.
The call was hung up by Kaido.
Charlotte Linlin became even more furious.
The aura she emitted made her children tremble with fear.
"Will Kaido snatch her by force?" Katakuri's voice came silently from the Den Den Mushi again; he had obviously heard the conversation just now.
Totto Land is my territory. If he dares to come, I can make him stay forever!
"Dare to threaten me? Let him try if he has the guts!"
"It's just mere Kaido!"
She had a temper, and it wasn't small.
