The Approach to Totto Land
From the air, Totto Land looked like something out of a fever dream — a patchwork of candy-colored islands, each dedicated to a different flavor or theme. Heaven's Embrace drifted in low over a frosting-covered coastline, sails half-furled.
Bell-mère's jaw tightened. "You sure about this? We're flying into Big Mom's home turf."
Vegito grinned. "She's a Yonko, not a god. And I brought dessert."
An Invitation by Force
The moment they entered the archipelago, a candy-sculpted fleet appeared, led by Charlotte Perospero himself. His candy cane licked idly, but his tone was sharp.
"You've made quite a mess in the New World, Vegito. Mama wants to see you."
"I was coming anyway," Vegito said, floating just high enough to look Perospero in the eye. "Lead the way."
Perospero blinked. "You're not… going to resist?"
Vegito smirked. "Why resist an invitation to tea?"
The Tea Party Entrance
Whole Cake Chateau was a towering confection, its frosting-like walls gleaming in the sun. Inside, a long table stretched across a grand hall, groaning under the weight of cakes, tarts, and sweets from every corner of the seas.
Big Mom herself loomed at the head, a massive grin splitting her face. "MAMA MAMA MAMA! So you're the one making the seas boil!"
"That's me," Vegito said, striding up without bowing. "Vegito, at your service. And before you ask — yes, I will eat your cake."
The crew exchanged nervous glances.
Diplomacy with Forks
The tea party began — and it was less "conversation" and more "Big Mom trying to test how much Vegito could eat." Plate after plate appeared, and Vegito matched her bite for bite, laughing the whole time.
By the sixth course, Big Mom's grin was more genuine than challenging. "MAMA MAMA! No one's eaten like this since… well, me!"
"That's because most people stop when they're full," Vegito said, licking frosting from his fingers. "I stop when the food runs out."
The Offer
When the plates finally slowed, Big Mom leaned in, her eyes gleaming. "You're strong. Stronger than Kaido, maybe. Join me, and Totto Land will be yours to rule with me."
Vegito tilted his head. "Tempting. But I'm not looking to be someone's underling. I'm here to make friends… and maybe recruit a few."
Big Mom blinked. "Recruit…?"
The Daughters
That's when Custard, Smoothie, and Pudding entered — each clearly curious, each with a different reaction to Vegito.
Custard's eyes narrowed, evaluating him like a puzzle.
Smoothie's lips curled faintly, her usual calm masking interest.
Pudding… went red the instant she met his gaze.
Vegito flashed his trademark grin. "Ladies. Your mother's a great host. I'm hoping you'll be even better company."
Pudding nearly dropped her teacup. Smoothie raised an eyebrow. Custard rolled her eyes — but didn't walk away.
The Power Play
Midway through the polite small talk, a loudmouthed son of Big Mom — Charlotte Opera — slammed his hands on the table.
"This is a trap! Mama, let me crush him—"
Vegito appeared behind him before he could finish, flicking him on the head. Opera collapsed instantly, snoring.
The room froze. Big Mom's grin widened. "MAMA MAMA! You're bold. I like bold."
The Yonko Decision
In the end, Big Mom allowed three of her daughters — Custard, Smoothie, and Pudding — to "travel" with Vegito for "political purposes." The unspoken reality was that she wanted to see how this man would play in the bigger game.
"I'll be expecting regular visits," Big Mom said as they prepared to leave.
"Of course," Vegito replied, tail curling smugly. "I always make time for cake."
Marineford – Panic
The news of Vegito walking into Big Mom's territory and leaving with three of her daughters sent the Marines into chaos.
Sengoku stared at the report. "This isn't an alliance — it's infiltration."
Tsuru's lips were thin. "And if he turns Big Mom herself… the balance of the Yonko is finished."
On Deck – New Additions
Back on Heaven's Embrace, the three new recruits fit in surprisingly quickly.
Smoothie sparred with Kuina, the two trading blows with mutual respect.
Custard immersed herself in the ship's magical library.
Pudding shyly brought Vegito a cake she'd baked herself — only to blush furiously when he called it "the sweetest thing on the ship."
