Big Mom paused and continued, "If you have a preference for any of them, you can tell me. No matter who it is, as long as I say the word, she can become your wife, and you can directly become a member of our big family!"
Big Mom still respected Ryuya.
After all, Big Mom really didn't want to provoke someone with such powerful Haki of the Conqueror.
Ryuya smiled when he heard Big Mom's words.
For a moment, he couldn't control himself and burst out laughing, "Hahahahahaha, BIG MOM, were you serious about what you just said?"
Big Mom: "Of course I'm serious. You can choose whoever you want."
"But isn't it a bit bad to treat your own children like this?"
Ryuya's laughter instantly disappeared. Instead, he became incredibly serious.
The women who stood up, hearing Ryuya's words, were obviously stunned.
They didn't expect Ryuya to say that.
It made them feel touched, because no one had ever stood up for them from their perspective.
The most touched was Charlotte Pudding, the 35th daughter.
Her tears were already welling up.
Big Mom's smile gradually disappeared when she heard Ryuya's words.
"They are all my daughters, so naturally, they are my tools. If they can't even fulfill their function as tools, why should I keep them!"
Big Mom didn't care about their feelings at all. She directly said these words in front of everyone.
"So, if I choose any of these tools, you won't be heartbroken?"
"Of course not."
"Then can I choose her?"
Ryuya pointed to a woman not far away.
This woman was a member of the Longleg Tribe, with the code name Minister of Juice!
That's right, the person Ryuya pointed to was Smoothie, one of the Sweet Commanders!
Smoothie was obviously very shocked when she saw Ryuya pointing at her.
"What am I seeing?"
"This man actually wants to marry Smoothie!"
"This is unbelievable!"
"This is blatant provocation!"
...
Sure enough, after hearing Ryuya's words, Big Mom's brows furrowed.
Her aura suddenly burst out.
"Are you trying to cause trouble? You know that Smoothie is one of the Sweet Commanders, yet you want to marry her!!!"
"Didn't you say they were all tools? I thought you treated them equally? I didn't expect that there's a hierarchy. You use the strong ones well, but even if you use the weak ones and they break, you won't be heartbroken?"
Ryuya smiled at Big Mom.
But under the cover of his cloak, they couldn't see his expression.
Ryuya's words caused an uproar in the entire hall.
Because this was essentially blatant provocation of Big Mom's crew, no, to be more precise, the Charlotte Family.
Stussy, who was beside Ryuya, picked up a glass of red wine from the table and then said to Morgans, "It seems I'm going to win this time."
Just as Stussy finished speaking, orange flames erupted in the distance.
"BIG MOM, I'm here to challenge you. Let me see how strong the Four Emperors are!"
As soon as these words fell, the flames gradually gathered.
A man with black hair, freckles on his cheeks, a "ASCE" tattoo on his left arm, with the S crossed out,
Wearing an orange cowboy hat with "Smile" and "Sad" badges on the brim, rushed in from outside.
Seeing this scene, Morgans smiled and said to Stussy, "Stussy, it seems I haven't lost yet."
As soon as Morgans finished speaking, Katakuri instantly "bounced" from his seat and came to Ace's side.
"Who are you? How did you get in? What do you want?"
Faced with Katakuri's three questions, Ace burst into laughter, "I'm Ace, the Fire Fist from the East Blue. As for what I want, I'm here to challenge the Four Emperor Big Mom!"
Ace continued, "Since I came to the four seas, I've heard about the Four Emperors, the mysterious person. I just heard that Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, was holding a Tea Party, so I came to take a look and challenge Big Mom!"
Ryuya looked at Ace in the sky and thought to himself: Shouldn't this guy be looking for Whitebeard? Why is he looking for Big Mom?
You see, Big Mom wouldn't show any mercy.
"Challenge Mama? Just you? Get past me first."
"You, I can knock you down in one second!"
Ace shouted at Katakuri!
From Ace's current deduction,
Ryuya felt that Ace had been out at sea for a long time.
He was just relying on the power of the Mera Mera no Mi, which could completely defeat most people, so he was so arrogant and disrespectful!
Thinking of this, Ryuya didn't plan to provoke Big Mom anymore.
Because he was also very curious to see what level Ace's strength had reached!
"Fire Fist!"
Ace turned his arm into a giant flame with an extremely high temperature, then attacked Katakuri with a flame punch.
As soon as Ace finished speaking, fire clouds gathered.
They turned into a giant flame hundreds of meters thick, charging towards Katakuri like a broken bamboo.
But before Katakuri could make a move, a flame even more terrifying than Ace's appeared in everyone's sight.
Compared to this flame that enveloped the sky, Ace's Fire Fist was a bit underwhelming.
"Sky Fire!"
Big Mom, holding Prometheus, easily devoured Ace's flames.
Ace was shocked, but before he could react,
The Sky Fire, mixed with Big Mom's Soru Soru no Mi ability, swallowed Ace's figure.
Only Ace's cries of pain could be heard from the Sky Fire.
"This is the first Tea Party. How can I allow a bug-like figure to barge in recklessly?!"
Big Mom could tolerate Ryuya because of his strength and achievements.
But now, Ace, who had just entered the world, was absolutely impossible to catch Big Mom's eye.
"A guy from the four seas. Don't you know that anyone who uses fire in front of me is asking for trouble?"
As soon as Big Mom finished speaking, Ryuya's cold voice reached everyone's ears, "I'm also from the four seas, and I also use fire. Big Mom, you've angered me!"
Stussy, seeing Ryuya's next move, said to Morgans beside her, "Remember to send my Devil Fruit to my Pleasure District."
