Chapter 434: 435 Where Is the food?
"Ow, that hurts! What happened?" King groaned as he woke up, quickly looking around. Soon, he spotted Big Mom's frightening eyes.
"Child, be a good boy and tell me where the food is!" Big Mom shouted at him, both softly and fiercely.
"Food?" King was still headache and didn't understand what was happening. His mind was focused on Whitebeard and Kaido, so he couldn't grasp Big Mom's state at all.
"Food, I want food! If you don't tell me, I'll kill you!" Big Mom shouted, both eager and angry.
"It's schizophrenia!"
Seeing Big Mom's appearance at this time, King also suddenly remembered.
Although he hadn't seen it before, King had heard that Big Mom sometimes experienced schizophrenia, becoming extremely violent. Even her children were afraid to approach her during those times.
"Damn, how did this happen so suddenly? I don't know what happened to Boss Kaido and Whitebeard. And here, I was caught by Big Mom, who clearly has an eating disorder. I won't let her kill me!" Big Mom's killing intent grew stronger.
King was also thinking fast, not wanting to die at the hands of his allies, especially with everything so uncertain.
"Food... let me think about it," he said, pausing for a moment.
As one of the Four Emperors, the Beast Pirates usually had plenty of food, but as King looked around Onigashima, everything was a mess.
The base camp was destroyed, and there was no food to be found anywhere.
"There's food on the main island of Wano!" King said after thinking for a moment.
"Really? You're not lying to me, are you?" Big Mom asked, her tone suspicious and her eyes filled with menace.
"Damn it, has this old woman lost her mind? How can she suddenly be so smart now?" King couldn't understand Big Mom's state of mind.
"Of course there's food! The Flower Capital of Wano has plenty of it!" King replied confidently.
"Alright, I'll believe you this time, but if you lie to me, I will definitely kill you!" Big Mom said fiercely.
Then, Big Mom headed toward the Flower Capital of Wano, still holding onto King. As they passed through a certain area, King could sense a fight nearby. Even though he couldn't see anything, the shockwaves and vibrations from the clash were clear.
"Is it Kaido's boss?
He's not dead!" King felt a surge of happiness. But Big Mom had no interest in the battle between Whitebeard and Kaido; she didn't even look at it and headed straight toward the Flower Capital of Wano.
"Whitebeard and Kaido must not be dead. They're fighting right now, but I can't do anything. If the Beast Pirates are defeated and Kaido falls, then it's all over."
"This old woman said she wanted to help us against Whitebeard, but look at this situation. What should we do? Do we just follow her to the Flower Capital? Will she regain her sanity after eating the food?"
King was caught by Big Mom and couldn't move, but his mind was racing. Soon, Big Mom reached the edge of Onigashima, where they met Aokiji and Enel.
"It's Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors! Why is she here? Has the old man been defeated?"
Aokiji asked in surprise.
"Impossible! There's no way they could beat the old man!"
Enel shouted back. Despite his disbelief, he felt a deep sense of anxiety in that moment.
As Big Mom approached step by step, Aokiji felt very nervous. He was also concerned about Whitebeard's safety in that moment.
Big Mom, who was supposed to be fighting Whitebeard, suddenly appeared here, leaving everyone confused.
Feeling nervous and worried, Aokiji and Enel prepared for battle. Even though they didn't know what was happening with Whitebeard, Big Mom was still their enemy, so they were ready to fight.
However, Big Mom, focused on finding food, didn't pay any attention to Aokiji and Enel. She simply walked past them without looking.
"Wait, she just walked past us? What's going on? Big Mom seems a little weird,"
Enel said, surprised. He felt something was wrong, especially since they were enemies and she was ignoring them.
"Hey! What about Oyaji and Kaido?" Aokiji asked Big Mom seriously.
After hearing Aokiji's words, Big Mom turned to him with a dark expression and asked, "Food! Do you have any food?"
"Food? What kind of food? I don't understand what you mean," Aokiji said, feeling suspicious. But when Big Mom turned around, he noticed she was holding King.
"So it was you! King!" Aokiji shouted at him.
"Yes, it's me. Your father has already been defeated and killed. We won the war in the end, hahaha!" King laughed proudly at Aokiji.
King deliberately provoked Aokiji and Enel to make them attack. This way, he could use their emotions against them and still have some value in the fight.
"What?!" Aokiji and Enel were instantly shocked, their faces showing disbelief.
"Oyaji was defeated and killed? That's impossible!" Enel shouted, rushing toward the interior of Onigashima. Aokiji couldn't believe it either, but he didn't follow right away.
Whether what King said is true or not, Aokiji had to consider the worst-case scenario. If Whitebeard was truly defeated and killed, and Big Mom was the only one left, then it likely meant Kaido was also dead.
Big Mom is likely planning to target the Whitebeard Pirates next. After leaving Onigashima, she could head to the main island of Wano, where the Whitebeard Pirates have garrisons set up everywhere.
Therefore, in order to prevent the Whitebeard Pirates from being attacked by Big Mom, Aokiji is naturally here to prevent Big Mom from leaving, and if Whitebeard is really dead, then he must have revenge.
"I won't believe what you said. It's impossible for Oyaji to be defeated, and even less likely to die. Do you think your tricks can deceive me?"
Aokiji suddenly said calmly to King.
But deep down, he wasn't sure of his own words and just wanted to probe King
