Chapter 328: Changing and Unchanging

All Nations, Cake Island.

"What on earth... happened?"

Happy Street Queen Stussy stared in the direction of Auntie's palace and castle, watching the dark clouds and several lightning bolts in the sky.

"A clash of overlords and domineering figures? Besides Charlotte Lingling, who else? Kaido is here? I have never received such news..."

She looked around the panicked neighborhood, the aunts and daughters and Cake Island soldiers who were maintaining peace. She wanted to take a closer look, but she was sensible enough not to go there.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before the roaring that had died down exploded again and stopped briefly.

Stussy was also informed by the aunt's son to stay in the room and not go out.

Then the entire Cake Island was under martial law until the evening, when Stussy got the news.

Tea parties are cancelled, weddings are cancelled.

Ask her to leave Wan Guo immediately!

‘It was cancelled? ’ Even though the aunt’s daughter escaped from marriage to the giant prince last time, the tea party still went on, but it was canceled this time?

Has something happened to Holo Ji Xing or has something happened to Lingling's daughter Mioku? She wanted to know, but the person who came to tell her to leave wasn't even Perospero, just two eggplant soldiers.

And sent her all the way to the port!

'It seems now is not a good time to probe. ’

She knew what was going on, and when she looked up, she happened to see an albatross arguing with a port soldier.

"Cancel? Just cancel when you say cancel?! I came all the way, and Charlotte's son and daughter haven't even seen one, so they asked me to go back the same way?!"

‘Morgance, this guy wants news more than his life. ’ Stussy thought for a while, swaying and walked over, and said: “Morgance, don’t embarrass the soldiers. I got to the island half a day earlier than you, so I still don’t have a chance to see Lingling?”

"Stucy..." Morgans turned his bird's eyes when he saw her, and laughed and said: "Forget it, in this case, I won't embarrass them. Stusy, if you want to get on the boat, I will take it to you." You give me a ride?”

Soon, the big ship carrying Morgans and Stussy sailed away from Ten Thousand Kingdoms.

Stussy smiled slightly and said: "Morgans, I know you want to get news from me, but I still can't figure out what happened on the island. If you want to know, I will tell you everything I know." It doesn’t matter if I tell you all.”

She really didn't know much. She only heard the roar of the fight in the distance and felt the collision of domineering colors, but she didn't know the identity of the other party.

Morgans felt uncomfortable hearing this: "Big news, damn, it's definitely big news!"

He couldn't go to the scene to learn about such big news, and he couldn't tell everything he knew to the newspapers. Otherwise, there might be no place for his newspaper in the whole world. This made him, a journalist, so uncomfortable that he wanted to die!

"Morgance, you seem to know something?" Stussi asked tentatively upon seeing this.

Morgans looked at her and smiled: "There's nothing strange, I just learned a little more about the origins of Holo Ji Xing, who was going to marry Big Mom's daughter.

He comes from an unknown island called Hatchinos. He was mistaken for a retrograde tribe because he practiced walking upside down, so he was brought back to the Ten Thousand Kingdoms by Katakuri himself. As for this rebellious clan, there should be influence from the White Lion Pirates among them, and the information may have been sent by White Lion Rodbell.

No matter how specific it is, I don’t know. "

"White Lion?" Stussy was surprised. The great pirate with a bounty of 1.678 billion was one of the top pirates in the new world, only below the three emperors.

He actually has something to do with him. Could it be that he challenged Charlotte Lingling before?

She missed the point and didn't hear the playfulness of Morgans when he said "an unknown island, Hatchinos". It was a once glorious pirate island, a pirate whose existence had been erased. The place where the regiment is formed and set sail!

Later, after many raids by the navy, it gradually became what it is now.

‘We can’t publish all of it, but it’s just the surface content we know now, and give it to some designated people. They should be a little interested, right? ’ Morgans thought: “Whitebeard, Kaido…”

It felt a little relieved.

…

Cake Island.

Katakuri lay on the bed with a pale face, his body covered with bandages. Many younger brothers and sisters gathered around, terrified and confused.

"Brother Katakuri, what happened before?"

"How could mom hurt you?!"

"Why were the tea party and wedding canceled? Where is Ji Xing? Why didn't I see him?"

Katakuri closed his eyes.

The noisy voices in front of him suddenly fell silent.

I deserved to be injured. As Ji Xing said, he was the one I forced to return to. Even if he goes too far to retaliate against me, it won't be too much.

He could have escaped, but he didn't.

Even if someone like him wanted to die, he would die in a collision with his mother, but he didn't.

In order to control his mother's anger, for us... no, not for us, but for more innocent residents living on Cake Island, and for the stability of this country, he chose the most inappropriate path and protected everyone!

It's really ridiculous. The people I captured chose to die in order to protect our country.

And I can't do anything.

If he hadn't chosen to die to appease his mother's anger, I wouldn't even be able to protect my younger brothers and sisters this time!

'The nun was accidentally eaten by her mother. ’

Even their children didn't know this news, why did Ji Xing know it? He didn't know, but it was terrifying. Once leaked, the entire Wan Guo would be blown to ashes!

Katakuri has decided to bury this bomb deep in his heart and take everything on himself. He won't even tell Perospero and Owen, but since Ji Xing knows it, will more people know it?

'Mom, Wan Guo...' Katakuri's mind was more confused than ever. He opened his eyes and looked at the worried brothers and sisters in front of him.

I want to protect them.

If something like this happens again...

"From today on, no one is allowed to say the name Holo Ji Xing again." He said.

"Hey?" Amidst the voices of doubt, Flanpe called out, worriedly: "Brother Katakuri, did Brother Jixing make Mom angry? He wouldn't really go and compete with Mom in eating, would he?!"

"What?"

"Flanpe, are you..."

"He is our family." Katakuri did not answer, but interrupted: "But remember my words, don't mention this name again. Just like before, pretend nothing happened this month!"

Everyone looked at each other.

Pretend nothing happened? Under Katakuri's eyes, they dared not ask again.

For a period of time, the news that the wedding planning of the International Tea Party was canceled again became the biggest news in the New World. Everyone was trying to find out what happened, but the only people who knew about it were Big Mom herself and Katakuri and the other five, and no news was spread.

Only Morgans, who liked big news, sent some marginal news to many people.

Another pirate king, Kaido, also called Big Mom for this, and that day, Cake Island was once again shrouded in the terrifying Overlord Color.

If it weren't for Katakuri and others' strong persuasion, Big Mom would even lead people to attack Kaido's Wano Country, and cause a big commotion. In the end, Big Mom was persuaded to stop, but at the same time, Katakuri, the head of the pirate group, was also angered and removed from the list of generals!

After that, it was still calm.

The name Holo Jixing seemed to be gradually forgotten, and everyone avoided mentioning it. The residents of Wan Guo also did not discuss the cancelled tea party and wedding after observing the expressions.

Time dilutes everything.

Wan Guo has returned to its original appearance.

It seems that nothing has changed, but it seems that something is quietly brewing and changing!

...

On the other side.

The Grand Line, one of the seven routes of the pirates, is a must-pass island, Tide Island.

A two-meter-tall young man wearing a beige island guard uniform and a knife on his waist is patrolling the streets of the town.

"Uncle Antommi, don't forget to lock the door."

"Huili, did you buy candy again?"

He greeted his neighbors and friends cordially. The 10-year-old girl who was licking a lollipop in front of him looked bitter: "Brother Holo, don't tell mom, okay?"

"Look who's that behind you?"

"...Wow!!"

Ji Xing smiled and watched the little girl being spanked by her mother, and walked away.

Yes, it's him again.

Die once, and 'Ji Xing' is gone. Now his name is only 'Holo'.

When the invasion was reopened, the original nine identities were gone, and he chose (the posture of a great swordsman)!

Yes, it's still an island guard!

But this time, Ji Xing doesn't plan to quit the island guard and develop himself. If he chooses the island guard, he will be an island guard. Why go his own way?

Work will indeed delay his growth, but it's better in hiding. I'll be an island guard for two years first, and then I'll kill anyone I don't like!

The previous invasion was not in vain. The experience accumulated by Armament Haki and Observation Haki is all there, and the feeling of Conqueror Haki has not been forgotten.

And this time he chose the Great Swordsman's posture. He doesn't have such a big belly, but he has an extraordinary feeling when practicing with the sword. This talent may help him improve his original swordsmanship level!

"Reopening the invasion is more useful than expected, and it is a change of identity, not a reset."

It is still 1514 in the Haiyuan calendar, and the time has advanced to September. It has been less than two months since the wedding he was supposed to attend.

Figures flashed through his mind.

"Everyone in the Ten Thousand Countries, see you again."

Slightly back to life, the next chapter... in the evening... seven or eight o'clock?
