You decided now was a good time to start talking with Big Mom. Since you haven't conversed with her in a while, it'd be best to have a decent relationship with her for now.

Since she loves sweets, you decided to bake a whole bunch of pastries and different types of sweets, to which you had knowledge in. It wasn't easy to bring it all to the table at once, so you needed to ask some of the people around you.

Sadly, some of the people at the castle haven't gotten used to you yet, making it a bit difficult to get help. But help indeed did arrive, when you spotted a few commanders on the side. Katakuri and Brûlée were a bit busy today, so you didn't want to disturb them.

Walking up to the commanders, you spotted how it was Charlotte Smoothie, Charlotte Perospero, and Charlotte Oven. 'Would they really help me though..? Nah let's just force them to.'

"Heyo! Would you mind helping me out? I'm delivering sweets to Big Mom." They turned their heads, and honestly, they didn't seem like they were in too big of a conversation so you were fine.

"I'm sure your mother would praise you for helping her guest out right? Also for bringing these sweet.. delicious... savory swe-" Perispero cut you off with a groan, "Alright we get it, how many trays are there?"

Your lips turned into a thin line while you turned back to the table, counting all the trays. The commanders jaws dropped when they saw how there were so many trays filling out the entire table, some even stacked above another.

Since there were way too many trays, the commanders called over a bunch of other crew members, some of them were the ones that scurried away from you earlier. Grinning, you grabbed a couple of the trays and started heading over to where Big Mom resided.

Apparently, Big Mom was busy doing something at the moment, but she finished right when you arrived. She sat at the end of the table, which you wondered how there could possibly ever be a chair that existed that could carry her weight.

Everyone that helped brought in the pastries while Big Mom clapped her hands in amazement, seeing how wonderful most of the pastries looked.

"I hope these suit your taste, LinLin." You sat near her, but not too close to her. Didn't want to get eaten just in case right?

LinLin immediately dug in, relishing the taste while her mouth kept getting messier and messier. You had a slight frown on your face. 'Disgusting. Can't you eat correctly? Even Luffy somehow eats neater than this.'

When she already finished around half of the pastries, don't ask how, she laughed. "Why thank you (Y/n). These were quite delicious! I hope you can make some more of these in the future as well."

With a small smile you responded, "Of course I could. However I might need to request some ingredients that may not be here sometimes."

LinLin waved her hand, reassuring you, "I'm quite positive that we have every ingredient needed to make some sweets."

You hummed, "Is that so..?" All of a sudden, someone barged in from the front door, shouting for LinLin.

Someone was in the room with the Poneglyph. 'I see, so the room with the Poneglyh should be around... there. Ah. No wonder I felt a familiar presence.'

LinLin stood up from her seat, and you got up as well. "Don't mind me, I have somewhere to head to."

Brook was stealing the poneglyph message. Now, since Brook was taking it, you were heading for Sanji. It's been a while since you've been here, and you haven't said hello to him even once.
