Gourmet 11: Wonderbeast World

The scar-faced mandrill had invited the villains into his palace. A troupe of servants in white wigs, festive masks, and red uniforms were posed courteously. Iron Mask held an unconscious Tama by the arms. He was accompanied by the Brotherhood villains, Robin Food and Nurse Claiborne, along with the former's Hungry Men.

The mandrill studied the young Historian curiously. "So, this is what you have to offer? And how might this little human be of use to me?"

"From what we heard, this girl has the power to-"

"Up-pup-pup. She can speak for herself." The ape withdrew his bottle of perfume. "Up and at 'em, little one." He sprayed the perfume over Tama's nose. The girl gasped awake, her irises shrinking. "Now, set her down. She must be uncomfortable in that position."

Iron Mask set Tama down, the child standing still and mindless. "Now, would you kindly introduce yourself, child?"

"My name is O-Tama. I hail from Kuri in Wano Country."

"Wano, and where would that be?"

"The planet Historia."

"How the heck did a Historian end up with that ragtag bunch?" Mask asked.

"Please only speak when spoken to." the mandrill demanded. "Still, a Historian. That would explain your archaic use of Japanese. Now, Miss Tama, have you any special abilities?"

"O-Tama canst pull dango from her body." Tama popped one from her cheek. "She canst command animals once they hath eaten them."

"A Historian with a strange ability?" The ape took the dango and examined it curiously. "Yes, it is certainly metahuman. Then, my dear, it seems we have something in common." He gave a courteous bow. "I am Scarlemagne. Lord of Wonderbeast World and a faithful lieutenant in the Kremling Krew."

"Hah, don't act so high and mighty." Iron Mask smirked. "The Krew was trashed and you're all that's left."

"Oh ho, don't be so daft." Scarlemagne chortled. "The Kremlings are in a shabby state for now, but we will rise again. I can still feel King K. Rool's aura, in the hearts of my subordinates and myself. And soon, his heir will be born, and give rise to a new generation. Until then, I am doing all I can to lead the Kremnants and prepare for the birth of the new king."

"Yes, you would do well to show your respect." Robin Food said with a smirk. "After all, the Brotherhood and Team Rocket are good friends with the Kremlings, are we not?"

"Like I give a crap about this sweaty ape." Mask stated.

"A mandrill's sweat can be highly addictive." Scarlemagne said, indicating his perfume. "My pheromones have the ability to make primates submit to my control." He walked up to one of his servants. "Someone has to show the lower-class apes their place. Go on, Jonathan." He pulled off the servant's mask, revealing him as a human with a blank expression similar to Tama's. "Show us the can-can."

The human began dancing and singing, "La la, lalala la la, lalalala la la, la la lalalalala!"

"Oh ho ho! But I won't use it on you, of course." he said to the villains. "After all, you are honored guests, requesting my aid. And this girl shall certainly prove a valuable asset." He gestured Tama to walk over to him, which she did. "With her powers and mine, I am bound to collect plenty more servants for the Krew. In fact, how much dango are you able to produce in a day?"

"I canst produce much dango, so long as I am fed. O-Tama grows thinner with more dango plucked."

"So, body fat is the key here. Then I had best show you to the dining quarters. I will harvest from you as much dango as I desire! Perhaps this may be the key to finally taming that wild jaguar."
