"I've already had someone look into it. It's the latest invention by Pryce, a member of the Whitebeard Pirates—the same pirate that developed the Senzu Beans!"
"It's called the Teleportation Talisman, and it allows people to instantly travel to places they've been before!" As he spoke, Kaido grabbed his wine gourd and took a hefty swig.
Although his castle had been fully repaired, the sight of the new structure only fueled Kaido hatred for Whitebeard, Edward Newgate.
"Moreover, when I clashed with that old man Whitebeard last time, his strength had noticeably increased again!"
"It seems like his injuries have healed significantly!" Kaido frowned as he spoke.
"What?"
"Many of Whitebeard injuries were sustained long ago. Even Captain Rocks said that it was a miracle Newgate survived with such wounds!"
"Thinking they could be healed is nothing short of a fantasy!" Big Mom Charlotte Linlin was equally shocked.
"It must be related to those Senzu Beans!"
"After all, the things Pryce invents are shrouded in too many mysteries!" Kaido sighed deeply.
"You'd better be careful with this thing too!" Kaido seemed to remember something and gritted his teeth as he warned her. After all, his relationship with Charlotte Linlin was far from ordinary. Back in the Rocks Pirates, the two had been quite close.
"I'll keep that in mind!"
"Kaido, take my advice—don't recklessly start a war with that old man Whitebeard, until you've secured these Teleportation Talismans or Senzu Beans for yourself!" Charlotte Linlin spoke with genuine concern before hanging up the call.
"Mom, did Kaido explain the reason?" Charlotte Katakuri approached, curious.
"Katakuri, I'm assigning you a mission!"
"Find out everything you can about the Teleportation Talisman, the latest invention by Pryce of the Whitebeard Pirates!"
"And, at all costs, get your hands on these talismans!" Big Mom stared into Katakuri reddish-brown eyes as she spoke.
Without any unnecessary words, Charlotte Katakuri nodded and immediately left.
"Whitebeard, Whitebeard, what kind of luck did you have to recruit such a talent!" Big Mom couldn't help but marvel.
"Cracker, did you investigate Pryce as I asked?" Big Mom Charlotte Linlin suddenly remembered and questioned.
"Of course, but the Whitebeard Pirates are guarding him extremely tight!"
"Our spies can hardly get close to him!" Charlotte Cracker quickly replied.
"Fool! Who told you to send people to approach Pryce directly?"
"Do you want to provoke a war with the Whitebeard Pirates prematurely?" Big Mom enormous eyes widened as she glared at Charlotte Cracker below, as if she wanted to devour him.
Charlotte Cracker immediately knelt down. "Forgive me, Mama, I acted rashly!"
"But the Whitebeard Pirates haven't noticed anything!" Charlotte Cracker hurriedly explained. Although he was the child of Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, he knew very well that when Big Mom was enraged, she wouldn't care about your relationship with her. She would strike or kill without hesitation!
"Alright, continue the investigation, but make sure not to draw the attention of the Whitebeard Pirates!" Big Mom waved her hand angrily and said.
"Understood, Mama. I'll make sure to complete the mission!" Charlotte Katakuri replied with relief.
...
The New World, Moby Dick.
"Pryce, are you there?"
"Pryce, where are you?" Marco shouted Pryce name loudly on the deck.
All the members of the Whitebeard Pirates on the deck turned their curious eyes toward him. Soon, Pryce walked out of his room with a dark expression.
"What is it, Marco?"
"Can't I even take a bathroom break in peace?" Pryce rolled his eyes helplessly and said.
"Hahaha, of course, it's something important!" Marco laughed as he put his arm around Pryce shoulder and pulled out a folded check from his inner pocket.
"This is the profit from the Senzu Beans recently!"
"Check it out in your room, or else someone might get jealous!" Marco said with a loud laugh.
As soon as he finished speaking, Marco let out a yelp and was sent flying. Pryce turned around and saw Whitebeard standing behind him, having kicked Marco away.
"Pops, what are you doing?" Marco got up, covered in dust, and asked Whitebeard.
"You brat, who are you saying is jealous?"
"Come here, let's have a good chat!"
"You've been slacking off on training for too long, and now you're getting way too cocky!"
"Today, I'll have some fun with you!" Whitebeard said, glaring fiercely while cracking his neck and wrists.
"Who wants to train with you?"
"I'm going out for supplies, you old miser!" Marco had no intention of getting beaten up, so he summoned his wings and flew into the air.
Seeing Marco trying to escape, Whitebeard grabbed a nearby barrel and hurled it at him. Marco quickly pulled out an intermediate teleportation talisman from his pocket, and a golden-purple light enveloped him as he teleported away.
"You brat!" Whitebeard cursed with a laugh. The usual banter between the two brought laughter from the other members on the deck.
"Kid, let me see how much money we've made?" Whitebeard leaned in close to Pryce and asked with a smile.
"Captain, was Marco serious just now?" Pryce quickly tucked the check away and said warily.
"You brat, you're starting to act like him now!" Whitebeard cried out in mock injustice.
After exchanging a few words with Whitebeard, Pryce hurriedly retreated into his room. After locking the doors and windows, Pryce eagerly opened the check. At the top, there was a staggering 20 billion Beri. Looking at the endless zeros following the number two, Pryce was overjoyed!
It seemed he could hold another lottery draw! This time, he was determined to make it even better! Last time, with 1 billion Beri, he held a purple-tier lottery, which significantly boosted Pryce strength! Now, Pryce was already looking forward to the golden ten-draw worth 10 billion Beri, wondering what amazing rewards it would bring!
Without hesitation, Pryce placed the check in his palm.
