Chapter 39: Chapter 39: The D Is Silent!



Me and Yuma were led into Big Mom's territory. We weren't going to be allowed into her château yet, the rest of the crew had to stay back where they were.

We went with Big Mom's oldest son, Perospero, to see the selection of daughters that she said were available. During this me and Yuma made sure to imply that we didn't find any of the options to be of any interest to me. We were then taken to a drawing room where Bjg Mom was waiting for us.

"So, boys , Perospero tells me you looked over my Daughter's flesh and you was none too impressed, huh?" She said as someone poured her a drink.

"Not for top dollar." Yuma said.

"Well, then, we got nothing more to talk about. You see, you want to marry a beat ass daughter from me, those are the beat ass daughters I want to marry off, so..." She said.

"He don't wanna marry the daughters you wanna marry off. He wants the daughter you don't want to marry off." Yuma said.

"Well, I don't marry off the daughters I don't want to marry off."

"Well, you won't marry off your best daughter. You won't even marry off your second best daughter, but your third best? You don't wanna marry her off either, but if I made you an offer so ridiculous, you'd be forced to consider it?" I said as I chuckled a bit. "Who knows what could happen?"

"And what do you consider "ridiculous?" She asked in response.

"For a truly talented wife, the right woman? How much would you say, Yuma?" I asked.

"12 thousand foot wedding cakes." Yuma said.

Big Mom traded looks with some of her children that were present in the room and took a drag of a candy cigarette. "Gentlemen, you had my curiosity, now you have my attention." She said with a smile.

With our successful negotiations, we were allowed into Big Mom's château. While I was alone with my crew I explained the next steps of our plan.

"Alright guys things are going smoothly so far but that was the easy part. Now we need to get down to business." I said. "Listen Big Mom is taking me and Yuma to meet the daughter she's going to set me up with, the rest of you are supposed to be shown around the château by Perospero."

"Isn't that bad? We need to explore the place to find the Ponyglyph." Claudia pointed out.

"You have a point. But I think it actually helps us out. You see, I figured they would avoid showing you the part of the château that the Ponyglyph is held in. So we can rule out those places as the location of the treasure room. We will still need to do some searching though. I figure with their attention mostly split between our two groups that could give us an opportunity to search the place with lighter security." I explained.

"I see, I guess that makes sense. But who is going to do the searching?" Sig asked.

"I had planned on sending the most inconspicuous person in our group, which WAS Claudia. But now because of her makeover she attracts too much attention. It kind of ruins my plan." I said.

"Oh, sorry." Claudia replied.

"It's fine I have a new plan of course." I explained. "Instead of sending someone with a weak presence, we'll send the most attention grabbing person on our crew." I said while everyone turned their attention to Isabella.

"Huh? Me?" She asked.

"Of course, you're a world famous pop star. And that was before you even joined our crew. Plus your voice has the ability to sway people, I'm sure you can go wherever you want and nobody will stop you. That being said I'm obviously not making you go alone. Jack you have the best observation Haki among us, you'll be able to see potential threats easier than anyone else. Your job is to protect Bell, and to take the print of the Ponyglyph while she has everyone else distracted."

"I understand. I won't let you down Captain." Jack said.

"Me neither Leo!" Isabella said.

Each group went to their respective missions. Two groups were only for distraction, the Ponyglyph team made their way mostly unimpeded. Eventually they came to a door that was heavily guarded.

"That must be it!" Jack said "Alright, if you can distract those guys I can sneak in there and get the prints."

"No problem." She said as she made her way towards the guards.

"Hey, you can't be here! You need to leave now!" A guard said.

Isabella distracted the guards by signing autographs and singing a bit, meanwhile Jack made his way into the treasure room as everyone was focused on Isabella. He managed to get inside any copy the Ponyglyph without a problem. That is until he tried to leave. As he was leaving unfortunately he was noticed by one of guards.

Jack knew he couldn't start a big fight here, it would totally blow the cover of the others. Luckily Isabella was actually able to handle it herself. She started to sing a lullaby and it knocked out every one of the guards.

Just as they were about to leave after a successful mission, Jack stopped in his tracks and started to sweat. "Isabella, stop here. Something bad is coming." He said as a tall figure appeared at the end of the hall way.

"That's quite the ability you showed off there. Luckily I don't have an ear for good music so it's not going to work on me." He explained.

Bjg Moms son, Katakurkuri was now standing in the team's way.
