One Piece : Kaido Brother

Chapter 62: Chapter 62



On Wholecake Island, inside a bar exclusively for the crew's executives.

"So boooored, King. How can you deal with all that tedious work every day without getting fed up? I think Wano was way more fun than this place. slurp"

Queen occupied more than half the table by himself, shoveling a massive plate of noodles into his mouth while grumbling and complaining.

King watched his excessively rotund figure with a twitching eyebrow.

"If you're so bored, why are you eating so much? No offense, but if you keep eating like this without exercising, you won't be an Ancient Zoan brachiosaur anymore."

Queen froze. "Huh? Then what would I be?"

"Fat pig in the kitchen bar!"

Queen seemed genuinely stunned by King's remark, remaining silent for a long moment.

King felt a pang of guilt—had he gone too far?

Then suddenly, Queen slammed the table and roared at the bartender.

"Boss! You sneaky bastard! You've got pork in the kitchen but didn't serve me any? Bring me a whole roasted pig! Now!"

Slap!

King facepalmed.

"Slurp slurp... Ugh, brain freeze from eating noodles with ice cream. Hey, King, why haven't I seen Caesar-sama or Kaido-sama around lately?"

King stared numbly at Queen, who was stuffing food into his bottomless stomach.

"That's because you're always here stuffing your face, you idiot. Caesar-sama and the others are at Cake Tower. Though I heard Caesar-sama is planning to visit another island—maybe Oven Island or..."

Before King could finish, Queen's eyes lit up.

He devoured the remaining food on the table like a tornado and rolled out of the bar like a giant meatball.

As he left, he shouted "Boss! If I don't see a whole roasted pig when I come back, I'll skin you alive!"

King: "..."

Excited, his fat body jiggling, Queen sprinted toward the harbor.

"Haha, Oven Island! Finally, another chance to be alone with Caesar-sama! Hehehe, I'll get there first and prepare a surprise for him!"

The Gifters guarding the ships at the harbor stared blankly at the ecstatic Queen, utterly confused.

"Queen Aniki, is there a mission?"

"Shut up and set sail for Oven Island at full speed!" Queen roared, his massive body leaping onto the ship with surprising agility.

***

Half a day later, Queen stood frozen, his face blank as he surveyed the scene before him—tilted buildings, shattered ground and pools of red blood with dismembered corpses strewn everywhere.

"This... this can't be right?" Queen wiped his forehead, gulped and squinted his beady eyes as he looked around.

"Queen Aniki, this place is bad news. What do we do? Report back to the higher-ups or go in and check it out?"

Queen hesitated but finally nodded.

"Let's investigate. This is Caesar-sama territory, and he'll be arriving soon. If some reckless pirates caused this mess, we'll earn major credit if we handle it before he gets here!"

"Roger!"

The group of over a dozen cautiously made their way down the ruined streets.

Queen frowned as he observed the massive fissures splitting the ground, an uneasy feeling creeping into his heart.

"Why does it look like there was a massive earthquake here?"

At the center of the island, amidst the raging flames engulfing the surrounding houses, a terrifying mountain of muscle standing six meters tall held Oven by the neck like a chicken, lifting him high into the air.

Oven's body glowed red-hot, his temperature as scorching as magma.

"Hehehe, Mama, this toy is so fun! It even glows red! Can we take it home?" The man giggled foolishly, his massive nose adorned with a thin, crescent-shaped mustache that curled upward at the ends.

Long stitch marks ran across his face, arms and neck.

This was none other than the self-proclaimed "Whitebeard Jr" former Warlord of the Sea, Edward Weevil—now an underling of the Yonko Buggy.

As he spoke, Weevil slurped the snot dripping down to his lips and waved Oven's body towards a tiny old woman barely visible at his feet.

Crack!

Oven's furious eyes dulled as Weevil accidentally snapped his neck.

The red glow on his body gradually faded, his life extinguished.

"Ahhh, the toy broke, Mama! I'm so sad, waaah!" Weevil trembled like a sobbing child, his mountainous frame shaking as tears and snot poured out in buckets.

"Enough, Weevil! If the toy's broken, we'll just find another one! You're the son of the World's Strongest Man, Whitebeard—stop crying like a baby!" scolded the old woman, Miss Bakkin, who stood no taller than a meter.

In her hands, she struggled to carry a large chest filled with gold jewelry and Berries looted from the island.

Exhausted and irritated, Bakkin smacked Weevil's ankle with her tiny cane, cursing.

"Stop dawdling and help me with this chest! Throw that trash away!"

"Ow, Mama, don't hit me! It hurts!" Weevil recoiled in fear and casually tossed Oven's corpse aside.

BOOM!

Oven's body shattered the sound barrier, piercing through rows of houses like a bullet before crashing into the island's edge miles away.

BAM!

Gifters searching the area heard the sonic boom and instinctively looked up—only to see darkness before several men standing in the path exploded into bloody mist.

"An attack?! Hah! Your grandpa Queen is here! Who dares—" Queen roared, thrusting out a massive hand to intercept the incoming threat.

WHAM!

Queen's bloated body was sent flying like a cannonball, tumbling dozens of times before smashing through a house and finally coming to a stop.

"Cough, What the hell was that?!" Queen clutched his chest, feeling as if Kaido had punched him square in the ribs.

He shoved the collapsed house aside and grabbed the corpse pinning him down—only for his face to twist in horror.

"OVEN?!"

Queen frantically checked for signs of life, then his hand trembled again.

"He's dead?! How?! Caesar and Linlin will lose their minds! Who could've done this? Wait—Oven was thrown here. That means the killer's still on the island!"

A murderous glint flashed in Queen's eyes as he hauled Oven's corpse out of the wreckage.

"Queen Aniki!" The remaining Gifters rushed over.

Queen shoved Oven's body at them and growled.

"Take him back immediately. You're useless here. Inform Caesar-sama—now!"

"Oven-sama... is dead?!" The Gifters' faces turned pale with shock.

"Hehe Mama, there are a few more toys up ahead. Hehe, can I catch them to play with?"

The ground rumbled loudly, as if a giant beast was approaching from the end of the street.

An irritated old woman's voice rang out.

"That's enough, Weevil. Don't bother with these insignificant bugs. We came here to find the treasure of the Big Mom Pirates. Once we capture that Charlotte Linlin, this entire island will be ours! Yahahaha!"
