***
Perospero guided us through Wholecake island until we went to Big Mom’s castle that looked like a giant wedding cake. I had over a hundred marine soldiers with me but they were guided to another place while I, Raynare, Negan, Reiju, Ain, Binz, and Gion stayed together.
Skinny Joey would lead the other men in case anything happened. He wasn’t that strong and had an inferiority complex, but he was a good guy.
*
Once we arrived at the interior of the castle, we went to Big Mom’s throne room, and there she was, sitting on a giant couch with her children standing up on rows on both sides. I saw Katakuri on her right looking at me with a calm look, but I could sense that he still held a grudge.
Looking at Big Mom I saw she still had a huge scar on her shoulder from when we fought. I had bitten into that in my Awakened form and ripped a chunk out of her.
Big Mom smiled at me. “Max… the last time I saw you were an enemy, and now we are friends?”
“Of course,” I smiled back at her, I could see that she just wanted to make me squirm and stutter. It would reveal that I needed her too and it will make a relationship where one of us will be under the other. She was smarter than she looked, though even in the original story she had her moments. “We make peace with our enemies, not our friends.”
“Is that so?...” slowly Conqueror’s Haki slipped out of her and the ground around her cracked. “Then are we friends?”
The castle shook and I noticed even the strongest of her children seemed to sweat nervously. They didn’t know if this might develop into a fight. But I knew this wouldn’t, because Big Mom didn’t feel really angry at me and was just playing around. Well, I can play around too.
I released my Conqueror’s Haki too and the space between us seemed to crackle as our wills clashed. Neither pushed too hard, we were just testing each other. We then stopped after a couple of seconds and everyone around us was on edge, both sides were ready for a fight.
“Mamamama~” Big Mom laughed. “Welcome to the family, Max, you are one of us now.”
“Xahahaha,” I laughed back. What did this bitch say? I will be a part of her family? Keep dreaming. Does she think I will become her subordinate now? Well, she won’t even know what was coming to her. “Yes, and you will also become a part of my family.”
We were both laughing, but I knew that we were both going to backstab each other. The one who does it first will win. Let’s play this game Big Mom, I will kill you and all your children. No one can stand in my way to reach the top, this mountain can only have one King. The rest must die.
“So when do I get to meet my wife?” I asked nonchalantly, looking around for Pudding as if I didn’t know who she was.
Big Mom pointed to Pudding, which was to Katakuri’s right. “She is Pudding. Pretty right?”
I smiled. “Yep, she is acceptable.”
Pudding smiled at me bashfully and looked at the ground, embarrassed.
**
-Pudding POV-
Acceptable? What a shitty guy?! I know you are drooling at the sight of me, you bastard! Deep down you just want to dominate me.
Though I thought all that, I just smiled at him, acting like an innocent young girl. I knew guys liked someone innocent, and who is harmless. So that was how I would act until we killed him. Germa 66 was the technology Mother needed, as it would also help with the creation of giants and a clone army.
As I looked at the rest of Max’s crew I noticed that he had a girl, a dark-haired girl looking at me with an icy cold look. There was even some killing intent in her eyes.
Hah! Did she want to kill me? Keep dreaming. But why was she angry? I looked at Max and her stare intensified.
Wait… don’t tell me she has a crush on him. Well, too bad for her, the early bird gets the worm. She won’t have to be jealous for long as she will be killed during the wedding too.
“Let’s have dinner to welcome the new member of our family." Mother said in an ecstatic voice.
The newcomers might think that this was due to her being happy about getting the Germa 66 technology. But in reality, she just couldn't wait to kill Max.
"W -Wait for me," I called out to Max in an innocent voice. He looked at me and smiled, I got close to him and intertwined our arms. I put his arm in the middle of my chest.
I knew he was flustered, even though he kept calm and only smiled. "Pudding, I hope we have a happy marriage."
"Y -Yes!" I smiled at him. "I always thought you were scary due to the stories they tell about you. But it seems they aren't true, you are kinda handsome."
"Kinda handsome?" Max asked, raising a questioning brow.
I pouted. "Yeah~ we need to get to know each other before you become truly handsome."
"Is that so…" he said nonchalantly and no longer looked at me.
Did he just ignore me? What a bastard. Pay attention to your future wife, dummy. This guy has zero social skills.
**
Even as we went to the dinner table, I just talked to Max and told him about me, or more correctly the persona I had built. But he didn't seem interested at all, he even had the gall to yawn as I talked.
I thought he would at least put some effort into the relationship, but instead, he just kept stealing glances at big sis Smoothie’s behind.
He couldn’t be more disrespectful even if he tried!!
Pervert, he could have married her if he wanted. Why did he even agree to marry me if he was going to stare at Smoothie all the time?
I also could see that Smoothie was annoyed too, she must have noticed his glances. But she couldn't do anything like this relationship between us needed to develop a bit more, at least till the time of the wedding came.
*
The dinner went relatively well, and just Max and Mother kept talking to each other and spoke about things like Kaido, Shanks, and the Marines. Things that I didn't care about.
In the middle of the dinner, something exciting finally happened and I noticed the black-haired woman, whose name I had now learned was Raynare. There didn't seem to be anything special about her.
But she got up and excused herself, going to the restroom. I also got up and followed her. Finally, some excitement would come on this day. Everything had been just so dull.
In the bathroom, I saw her splash some water on her face and look at the mirror.
I smiled maliciously, walking and closing the door behind me, and said. "It's sad, isn't it? Having the man you love get stolen by another."
I would delete her memories later, so it didn't matter how I decided to act now.
She looked at me, her purple eyes shined like gems. But contrary to what I was expecting, she wasn’t angry at all, and instead looked confused at first. But then she chuckled and asked. "So this is your true nature?"
"Why are you laughing? Don't you love him so deeply? I will be having him, not you. Once we are together, he won't even look at you anymore." My smile grew wider, there was no way someone in love like her would be able to control herself after these insults.
"Ahahaha," Raynare chuckled softly and came close to me.
She won't dare kill me… I knew that much. Doing that would start a war. But I also knew there was a high chance she would at least slap me. This facade of not caring was just a mask to hide her true feelings, it had to be.
Raynare got close and as expected she raised her hand, but instead of hitting me, she touched my belly. "You don't know who you're dealing with."
As soon as she said that a chill crawled down my spine, I wanted to say something but the dark smile that appeared on Raynare's face paralyzed me in fear, her purple eyes seemed to spew out the unadulterated cruelness hidden within them.
"He will fill you with babies, every day, you will be chained to a wall and be treated like a dog. I almost feel sorry for you." Raynare chuckled again, and this time my body started shaking at what she was implying. An instinctive fear took over my nerves. Her hand moved delicately between my legs, touching my panties.
"He will pound on you whenever he is bored. It doesn't matter whether you will like it, hate it, or if it will hurt. Every day Max will rape you until you give him children, even when you do he will have you make more. That will be your life, until the day you die… you will be his property." After saying that, Raynare walked off and the heaviness on my shoulders disappeared.
I fell on my knees weakly as the door opened and she walked out.
Was I scared? Yes… I was.
Taking a deep breath, I calmed down. Reassuring myself that Max and the rest of his crew will die, the future that Raynare just described will never come to be.
As I tried getting up, my legs buckled under me and I fell back on the ground. Tears of despair flowed out of my eyes like rivers and my body kept shaking in fear.
N -No… that won't happen… So why was I still scared?
