Chapter 781: Chapter 472: The Grand Plan, Clash of the Conquerors!

"More convenient than a Radio Snail, it’s excellent for surveillance and instant communication, and the most important part is its unique secrecy."

Radio Snails are a miraculous thing, with all kinds of types.

The most basic communication Radio Snail: the bigger the body, the stronger the signal; the smaller, the weaker. You can even add special parts to send faxes.

There are gold and silver Radio Snails that serve as transmitters and receivers, usually used by the Navy for Buster Calls.

There are also camera and projection Radio Snails used to take photos and play images.

And the black‑rimmed Radio Snails for wiretapping and anti‑wiretapping, and even horned Radio Snails that can block nearby signals.

Special Radio Snails are very precious and very hard to get, basically all under the control of the World Government. Sage has one or two of them, and those are kept in the Royal Palace to prevent eavesdropping.

But to use them on a large scale, he doesn’t have the conditions.

However, some special abilities can achieve similar effects.

Like in Wano Country, even though information can’t be probed out, they still know there’s something similar to a native Secret Techniques that can achieve instant surveillance and communication.

Similarly, on Big Mom’s side, they rely on an Ability User; that woman is basically in charge of intelligence.

Extremely useful.

"Cake! Cake!"

Charlotte Linlin, who had been forcibly fed a single bite, instantly pulled back her fist, subconsciously caught the giant cake, and buried her head in it, eating. Her pair of blood‑red eyes gradually cleared.

As the cake was rapidly devoured, she let out a happy whimper. Her emaciated body in that instant swiftly reverted to its original size, then collapsed on the ground with a thud. Both hands cupped her cheeks as she revealed a satisfied and intoxicated expression.

"This is the taste, it really is... too blissful!"

Sanji lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, then exhaled a stream of smoke and said calmly, "Thanks for the compliment."

"Let him go!"

Saying that, he turned his head and looked at Purin, whose eyes were full of hearts because of Sanji’s handsomeness. Just as he was about to speak, Katakuri suddenly flashed over and grabbed Sanji in one go.

"You saved Cake Island. This time we’ll let you go—leave first! If there’s a chance, tell Straw Hat I’ll fight him again!"

Without waiting for Sanji to reply, he shoved Sanji straight into the mirror in Brulee’s hands, who was following right behind, making him disappear. Then he turned sideways, looking at the White Hair man sitting grandly on the banquet chair, biting on a cigar.

"Calamity!"

He gripped his Trident tightly, gave Sage a hard stare, then glanced at Lily, who was standing respectfully at the side. "And Sword Princess—you two planning to go to war with us?"

Clang!

Lily did not answer; she simply drew White Thunderbolt.

"Mama, please hurry and sober up. This guy... I can’t handle him!" Katakuri took a deep breath and shouted.

In the Big Mom Pirates, the invincible Katakuri, apart from the Captain, is still only beneath the Four Emperors. Faced with a true Four Emperors, just from sheer presence alone, you can see the gap.

Charlotte Linlin, lying on the ground, heard this. Her originally blissful expression suddenly collapsed. Her massive body sprang up at high speed, standing behind Katakuri like a mountain range.

"Brat Sage..."

Her thick teeth ground together as she glared forward. "Can’t you let your old lady savor it a little longer!"

Sage spat out the cigar in his mouth, blew out a puff of smoke, then picked up a bottle of wine from the banquet table. With one hand he sliced open the neck and poured several big gulps into his mouth, letting the red liquor run down from the corners of his lips like leftover blood after a feast...

Boom!

Boom boom boom!

Out on the surrounding sea, cannon fire roared without pause. Cake Ships and warships were sinking one after another into the storm‑tossed waters, and under this tempest, smoke and flames spread, encircling Cake Island.

He slowly stood up, and his body began to tremble rapidly. The crackling of bones and muscles rang out.

The wild storm winds and raindrops suddenly drew back at that moment, halting, the world falling into stillness.

Rumble!

A bolt of Thunderbolt exploded across the sky, lighting up the dark heavens and illuminating Sage’s gradually twisted, ferocious face.

"I’ve been waiting a long time for you, Charlotte Linlin!"

Sage stretched both hands to his waist, stepped forward with his left foot resting over his right, the corner of his mouth curving into a savage grin.

"Will it be you who stops my plans, or will I crush you underfoot as a stepping stone to ascend to the heavens? Right here... we fight to the death!!"

Lily’s eyes likewise blazed with fighting spirit as she pointed her sword at Katakuri.

This was her target.

For Sage’s great plan, she had to defeat Katakuri here!

Only then could she stand at his side on his long stairway to the sky, serving at his right hand.

Right here...

In this battle of kings!
