One Piece: Reborn as Enel Chapter 131: Cake Island and Reunion

__________ POV Narration__________

Perospero didn't quite know what to do about the situation.

Nothing was truly working out for him as of late.

At first, his idea of taking revenge on Enel for his impunity seed like an intelligent thing to do. To prove that one couldn't just ss with the Big Mom Pirates and get away with it unscathed.

Then Enel had to go on and reveal himself as an actual Yonko-level figure.

It went from Persopero thinking that he'd be able to take care of things by himself, to wondering if he would even be able to react to Enel killing him.

So he had to scrap the idea of revenge altogether.

Spouts between Emperors always ended with destroyed islands, and since Enel had no territory, the most likely to be destroyed would be their Cake Island.

That in itself was frustrating, but Perospero was a grown man, he could forget about that without much trouble.

But it seed that Big Mom had co out of her eting with Enel as a different person altogether.

Whatever she had seen had shaken her to the point where she no longer ate any sweets, at least nowhere near as often, which led to her losing quite a bit of weight.

Her body was still just as strong as ever, but sotis her mind wandered while in the middle of conversations as if she was thinking back to whatever she had seen back then.

She also started showing a bit more care towards her family. It was odd for Perospero as the big brother of the bunch to witness her slowly co out of her shell over ti.

In the past, she had only bothered to show her appreciation to the children that stood out as they were useful tools to her.

Perospero was obviously aware of that, but now she was paying attention to her children equally. It was still far too early to tell if she still saw them as tools in the Big Brother's eyes, but only ti could tell.

Still, one thing was pretty clear. Big Mom was llowing out, and it was likely that the day of her retirent was getting closer and closer at a rapid speed.

This sowhat pleased Perospero, as he was the most respected among his siblings, and he was set to beco the next captain and leader of Cake Island after Big Mom retired.

There were other problems besides that though...

Things were quickly shifting, and family dynamics were alongside them. A person that Perospero had deed inconsequential in the past, now seed to want to rise and take that spot from him. At least on the surface.

Oven, ever since returning to his ho he had not rested a day. He was training like a man possessed, and had quickly grown stronger in both body and Haki.

He was now a force to be reckoned with, only Katakuri still being able to defeat him in a spar.

Though Persopero hadn't tried his hand, Smoothie had, and her loss was catastrophic, she had been taken down in under a minute.

The Big Mom Pirates spared no expense in rebuilding his limbs, buying him the most expensive and durable materials to rebuild his limbs, even going as far as to use Seastone to make his prosthetic hand.

More specifically, his palm was lined with seastone. Which made him a very effective close-range fighter against Devil Fruit users.

So effective in fact, that the second Oven managed to get close to Smoothie the fight was over.

Even when she tried to evade him, he took her by surprise, twisting his body in an odd way, making it look like paper, as his arm basically coiled around after her and still caught her.

His strong body covered in Armant Haki was also able to effectively block most of her attacks, so it was a decisive victory through and through.

These were the results of Oven's training. His hard work showed itself, as his muscles had beco more and more well-defined, making him look absolutely shredded.

Katakuri was impressed by his brother's zeal and willpower, so he also started amping up his own training. This led to a competition between those two brothers.

'Who can make up the most masochistic training thods?'

It was an unspoken one, but the mbers of the Big Mom Pirates could only stare at them from a distance with odd gazes.

Now, Perospero was actually happy that Oven was becoming stronger to the point where he technically beca a cornerstone of the Big Mom Pirates.

The problem actually ca with the fact that he seed a lot more approachable now.

It seed that his stay with the marines had made him a lot more humble, and a lot more friendly, especially towards his siblings.

This led to forr enemies turning into friends, and distaste turning into appreciation.

People that had looked at him with indifference were starting to warm up to him. Those that hated him started to talk more with him in between his dented training sessions.

Frowns turned to smiles...

Even if it was not intentional, Oven had now beco a candidate for the title of 'Captain', one which was rightfully Perospero's.

Now, Persopero had to find out more about Oven's intentions and if he truly was a threat to his position, which was a true bother.

The fact that the marines had gone ahead and gotten themselves killed made him giggle a bit. It seed to make Oven quite pleased as well, especially when hearing that Akainu died.

The problem was that the seas were now rowdier than ever. The revolts that had been happening all around the world also died down, not that the Big Mom Pirates were affected by that whole fiasco.

The shifts in power dynamics had affected so of their business, but it wasn't anything of note.

The problem was that now Big Mom was sowhat expecting Kaido to attack either her or the World Governnt any second. Saying that he was exactly the type to take advantage of such situations.

Whitebeard and Shanks were both huge question marks to the Big Mom Pirates, it was better to just not get involved, honestly.

But it seed that they wouldn't have much of a choice, as the sky clapped with thunder and lightning sparked amongst the clouds.

In a flash of light, a figure appeared right at their front door.

A man leaning into a white tallic cane, missing an arm as he walked through the door to their sweet castle confidently.

Imdiately, Katakuri appeared before him, reacting the fastest, as he had likely predicted where he'd land from the second he had heard the clouds churn.

Katakuri narrowed his eyes when seeing the person visiting them... A familiar face, but his state was not quite as he rembered.

It was an old 'acquaintance' basically. One that Katakuri wasn't exactly keen on seeing.

"Enel..." He said as his red eyes peered into Enel's greyish-blue eyes.

Although visibly injured, Enel still had a certain aura around him. Despite the fact that he was covered head-to-toe in bandages, Katakuri was not confident in taking him on. Missing arm or not.

"Katakuri! Such a pleasant coincidence~" Enel's playful tone seed to betray the seriousness of the situation.

An emperor trespassing on another's territory unannounced. That would usually be a sign of war, quite an obvious one at that.

But for so reason, Katakuri doubted Enel would start a war while in his state...

The two of them were stuck in a staring match for a while, both looking into the future, and fighting with their wills only.

No Conqueror's Haki was involved, but they seemingly allowed their future selves to fight.

Each predicting an action before they were even close to happening, both showing off their foresight perfectly, fighting while not moving a finger.

Each thought created another possibility, each potential move closed off by the other in a rhythmic sort of dance.

This only happened for a minute though, as more and more of Katakuri's siblings encircled Enel. Then guards started appearing as well, forming an army around Enel in the blink of an eye.

"Perorin♪ And why, pray-tell, is there an injured Emperor on our doorstep?"

Perospero walked out and spoke up with a threatening tone. Showcasing their lack of fear at facing him, no doubt emboldened by his current state.

'Revenge might be a possibility after all...' The eldest brother thought to himself as he licked his giant candy.

"Don't get any strange thoughts, and try to keep your tongue in your mouth." Enel frowned at the hostility the entire group was showing to him.

But it wasn't exactly outside of his expectations.

'I wasn't expecting a standing ovation, but this is a lot more extre than I thought...'

"I am here to speak to Big Mom, nothing else. If I planned to harm any of you, I would not have landed on this island at all..." Enel said as he smiled a bit and narrowed his eyes at the crowd, his earlobes, as well as the empty sleeve, swayed in the wind as the situation was becoming tenser.

"Oh, so you think anyone can just co in and speak to Big Mom herself? Whatever it is, I'm sure you can speak to about it, Perorin♪" Perospero tilted his head, as the First Mate, he didn't want Enel anywhere near his mother.

Especially not after the last ti.

"I highly doubt you'll be able to help ... I need her specifically. A re few monts of her ti." Enel said as he waved his arm around a bit.

"... I wouldn't be the first to trust you around mother," Katakuri said as he looked at Enel, not bothering to hide his hostility.

'I guess he does care a lot about his mother... Even if she's an uncaring bitch, huh?' Enel's smile strained a bit.

"I am willing to vouch for him..." A voice ca out from the crowd, and a large man walked forward.

Enel smiled when hearing that voice, turning around he clearly saw Oven making his way towards him.

At that point, everyone was silent, as Oven stared at Enel in shock. Even Perospero, whose rage silently boiled, as his authority was undermined right in front of their palace, in front of all of his peers.

"Though... I am a bit curious... Did you finally decide to cut off your earlobes? I can see that one of them is a bit shorter." Oven smiled widely as he slapped Enel on the back.

His siblings looked at him with wide eyes, as he openly interacted with the strange emperor in front of them.

"I see that chanical arm is working well for you..." Enel smiled as he didn't react to the slap, though his injured body was screaming in pain.

He also decided not to comnt much on the state of his body, seeing that, Oven decided not to press the issue.

"Heh, good as new!" Oven gave Enel the ok with his chanical arm. It was made to look exactly like a human arm, making Oven more akin to a Cyborg than a tallic tin man.

"Really like the cannon though!" Oven's chanical arm seed to shift, his fingers bending strangely as a rather large cannon seed to co out of his thick tallic wrist.

"Figured you'd like the addition. Doubt it'll do much against an Admiral, but it should at least take so people by surprise." Enel smiled as the two of them continued to talk, catching up like old friends would as they both seed to ignore the sowhat strained atmosphere around them.

This managed to sowhat annoy Perospero even further. Who was about to walk up to them and say sothing, before Katakuri stopped him.

"... If Oven is willing to vouch for him, then I agree. But if anything happens to Big Mom he is to be held responsible." Katakuri said as his red eyes scanned the scene.

Oven nodded, and Enel seed quite pleased.

'Good... Now all that's left is to convince her to help ... Why do I get the feeling that that's going to be easier said than done?'
